Annua! Winter Concert Easy come And Scheduled in Bovard Tonight Go SayWts
Students Gape As Professor Vaults Away
Matt Weinstock in his Daily News column the other day said: “A USC prof introduced a new and virile'note to the students of one of his classes at the conclusion of the first session o fthe new semester. He collected the admission cards and asked “Are there any questions?” There were none so he said “Goodbye” and as the students stared in amazement, vaulted out the open window.” Now who could this have been?
The annual, free, winter concert, conducted by William A. Schaefer, director of instrumental organizations in the School of Music, will be held tonight in Bovard auditorium beginning at 8:30.
Schaefer, who will conduct the Trojan Symphonic band, compares the program with the lawn concert of last December. He said the two concerts are similar in type, but that this evening’s program will be longer and will contain a larger variety of pieces.
A graduate of the University of Michigan. Miami university in Ohio, and the Julliard School of Music in New York, Schaefer was one of the two persons elected to the Amorican Bandmasters’ association in 1952.
Schaefer, whose reputation as a band director in widespread, came to SC last fail from the Carnegie Institute of Technology. He is vice-president of the Calif omia-Westorn Division of the National Association of College Band Directors.
Tonight’s program has been approved by Dr. Edwin Franko Goldman. 75-year-old director of the Goldman band in New York.
Dr. Goldman, who has directed his own musical group for the past 50 years, heard the Trojan band rehearse on a recent visit with Schaefer.
The program includes “His Honor March ” Fillmore; “Prince Igor Overture.” Borodin; First Suite in E Flat, Holst ;“Russian Sailors'
Dance” from “The Red Poppy,”
Glicrc: “Lady of Spain.’’ Evans-Cailliet: “Toccata Marziale, liams; “Procession of the Nobles” from “Mlada.” Rimski-Korsakov;
“Royal Fireworks Music,” Handel;
“Tunbridge Fair,” Piston: “Per-petuum Mobile—Musical Humoresque.” Strauss; “Finale,” from Symphony No. 5, Shostakovich; and the "United States Army March.” Darcy.
The next program by the Symphonic hand will be the annual spring concert on May 6.

Work Begins On Dormitory
The first step in the construction of SC’s newest building, the David X. Marks dormitory, began yesterday when the excavation was started.
Excavation of the ground for the $250,000 dorm which will be ready for occupancy in September, is being done by C. W. Driver j incorporated. The structure is a j gift of David X. Marks, Los Angeles businessman.
Designed to house 50 freshmen, the building will be constructed of brick ' and concrete. (Preliminary plans for the struc-: ture were done by C. Raimond Johnson, SC professor of architecture.
The student rooms will occupy nearly all of the second and third floors of the new dormitory. The first floor will contain a lounge, dining room, kitchen, foyer, office, library, and the head resident’s suite. The basement will have a playroom, modern laundry facilities, and a storage room. A sun deck is being constructed on the roof.
Construction ‘of the building it- I self, which will be located on the ! corner of Hoover boulevard and \ 36th street, will start in the near future, said President Fred Fagg Jr.
Money is a nice thing to have.
Particularly if you happen to find a deficiency in the vicinity of the wallet.
If you happen to be one of the students who had a book on sale at the Trovet bookmart, then you might drop by and see if this monetary shortage can be alleviated.
Bob Hallberg, Trovet president, has announced that $75 is still waiting to be picked up from the DiiWKTnart sales and that the money will be donated to the Living War Memorial scholarship fund if there isn’t a sudden influx of students looking for their money.
Sales will end tomorrow.

Public Watches New Regime
by Don Desfor	i
Mild approval coupled with watchful waiting is the public attitude of the first 30 days of i Republican administration after j 20 years of Democratic regime, J Dr. Totton J. Anderson, associate ! professor of political science, j said yesterday.
Analyzing political events since the Republicans have taken of-: fice. Dr. Anderson commented on what the new president has done and the Democratic response.
Smooth Transfer
The first month has been con-corned with reorganization and planning. Dr. • Anderson lauded both parties for the smooth trans-; fer of office. “This was quite a ! contrast to when Roosevelt took | over from Hoover” he said. Analyzing the various phases of the administration, Dr. Anderson said:
Organization: The selection of personnel shows careful planning and the cabinet members are competent men although they are preponderate^' from big business.
By contrast democratic cabinet j men tended to sympathize with labor. Dr. Anderson prescribed a j more equal representation of the I 3 segments of our economy; busi- ! ness, labor, and agriculture.
“Although these men have the! business know-how and are high-1
ly successful businessmen, their political acumen is yet to be demonstrated.
Temporary Embarrassment Operation: Eisenhower's operation techniquies got pff to a bad start due to a lack of liaison between the president and Taft. This caused temporary embarrassment.
An example is the appointment of Dirkson as Secretary of Labor and the repercussion of Taft's disapproval. Dr. Anderson discredits any idea that this was a political maneuver on the part of Taft and Eisenhower to prove Ike's independence.
Eisenhower was treading on thin ice as far as his press relations were concerned when, in an effort to avoid a hasty or embarrassing statements, he announced that he would not hold the usual press conferences.
Managed Conferences “Whereas Truman committed many indiscrepancies, Eisenhower is attempting to preserve his popularity by managed conferences.”
The first managed press conference was held yesterday in which the president limited the conference to 33 minutes, kept the questions confined to subjects he introduced, and an understand-
ing that he would not discuss unanticipated subjects.
Dr. Anderson described other tions the result of “some heavy thinking in the Republican high command.”
One example is the prayer meetings Eisenhower calls with his cabinet. Another is the luncheons, particularly those where Democratic leaders are Included. “When a Democrat reads in a
TOTTON J. ANDERSON . , , political views
Republican newspaper about Democratic leaders having lunch with the president, the effect tends to be favorable,” the professor said.
Ike Hits Thorn Domestically, Ike hit a thorn. The agricultural subsidies through paradies is costly and counter to Eisenhower’s tax reduction policies. Agricultural prices are declining and demands an immediate solution.
The National Grange, American Farm Bureau federation, and National Farmers union, the big three agricultural interest groups can’t agree among them-selvq^ as to what the solution is.
The only agreement is a plan for continued financial support of agriculture.
Apparent Success “One of the apparent successes of the Eisenhower administration will be the raising of the office of Federal Security Administrator to the status of cabinet rank,” said Dr. Anderson.
“Truman tried it but was thwarted by Congress and interest groups such as the insurance companies and the AMA. It will be interesting to see what reaction the interest groups will have to President Eisenhower’ plans.” “In his speech delineating the (Continued on Page 4)

Chest Funds to Be Major Senate Issue
Prosecution Of Phi Taus $64 Question
Whether or not the five pledges of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity who stole a $5000 statue will be prosecuted “is a $64 question,” an official in the district attorney’s office said yesterday.
“The matter is still under investigation,” said Howard Hurd, chief of the complaint division, and a spokesman for Dist/ict Attorney S. Ernest Roll.
The easiest solution to the problem is for the Phi Taus to produce the 400 pound statue of Minerva, a Roman goddess of wisdom, he explained.
Admit Theft
The Phi Taus admit that they originally stole the statue, but claim that they brought it back to its owner, John Malloy Jr., 39-50 Los Feliz boulevard, when they were informed of its value.
We notified Malloy where it was and he went to the spot within five minutes, but it was gone, one Greek letter man said. Meanwhile, law enforcement officials are still holding us responsible.
Police investigators, learning that the missing bust wore a Trojan-type headress, suspected a connection between SC anij tne missing goddess. The connection was found at the Phi Tau house where five youths, who were not booked, had to give statements of their side of the story to the district attorney.
The five youths are Jim Boyle, 19; Robert Bromley, 17; Charles Cole, 18; Don Fitzgerald, 18; and Fred Hull, 21.
Minerva Substituted
The five told Roll that they had been instructed to bring back a stripteaser’s brassiere and a duck. Failing to find the above items, they spotted Minerva and brought her back instead.
The current police opinion is that other fraternity members trailed the pledges and reabducted it.
In an attempt to hasten the return of the missing marble bust, carved in Italy, the fraternity men are offering a $100 reward for its return. .

money-raising activities as the varsity show and the Mr. Trojanality contest.
In the past, Troy Camp, the Community Chest, the YMCA, the YWCA, the Red Cross, and the World Student Service fund have been among the recipients of funds collected by the Trojan Chest.
Troy Camp, a children’s summer camp sponsored by SC, received the largest cut last year.
Allotment Recommendations
Recommendations on the allotment of Chest funds will be given the Senators by the Faculty Student Activities committee, and the Senate’s Trojan Chest committee. Chaplain Clinton A. Neyman will represent the faculty committee at tonight’s meeting.
Bill Rosensweig, Trojan Chest chairman, will give his recommendations and tell the Senators how the early work of his committee is progressing.
The World Student Service fund representatives spoke at a recent Senate meeting, telling the Senators that their fund is a means for university students to help less fortunate students in other parts of the world. They §aid that most of the fund this year will go for medical and university facilities for students in the Far East.
Two Senators, however, have said they are not satisfied with the manner in which the fund is to be administered and other aspects of the program.
New Program
Each of these Senators will introduce another program which he feels should rate Trojan chest support instead of WSSF.
Another agenda item might cause a hot discussion is the request for ASSC approval of the Civil Liberties conference.
At the last Seftate meeting, the chairman of the student organizations committee gave a report asking that the organization not be recognized by the ASSC, but the Senators rejected the report by an 18-4 vote.
No Senate action was taken at that meeting, however, to give the Civil Liberties conference the recognition they need in order to use university facilities.
The group is expected to ask that action t>e taken tonight.
School Activities
Bill Van Alstyne, independent men’s representative, will ask the Senate to create a committee to co-ordinate student activities in the field of high school relations.
A request by Baseball Coach Hod Dedeaux that students be charged admission to baseball games with professional clubs will be introduced tonight.
Dedeaux said that he can not get major league and Coast league clubs to play at Bovard field unless he can offer them a financial guarantee which is impossible without student admissions.
The new shell was obtained for the SC crew through alumni donations. Up to this point the team has used four shells contributed by the University of California in the hope that SC could develop an interest in the sport.
Ken Norris, captain of the crew, will participate in the ceremony. Norris who was a member of the Stanford freshman crew and lettered.at SC last year.
Coach Hillen
The crew is coached by Bob Hillen. a physical education instructor in the Santa Monica public schools, and practices at San Pedro. Hillen says that between 25 and 30 men. many with experience, have turned out for the team.
The team will race against Stanford. UCLA. California, Oregon State, Washington and the University of British Columbia this season.
The shell was purchased at a cost of $1650 from George Pocock of Seattle, world-famous builder of crew racing shells. Each oar, measuring 12 feet 1 inch, cost $30. Including shipping charges, the total bill was more than $2000.
Weighs 300 pounds
The shell weighs 300 pounds, measures a 30-inch width at the gunwale and is 14 inches deep. It has been exhibited on the campus for two days.
Built in streamlined style and of the best materials to last a minimum of 20 years, the shell’s planking is made of western red cedar, the keel of Calfornia sugar pine, the washboards of Alaskan cedar, the rigger timbers of Ohio ash, the trackers of Australian | ironback, and the riggers of car-which | bon steel. The oars are constructed of spruce and weigh 81* pounds each.
Africa Talk Set Today
Political and social conditions in South Africa will be discussed by Educational Vice-President Albert S. Raubenheimer at the Men’s Faculty club luncheon meeting at noon in the main dining room of the Commons.
Dr. Raubenheimer will tell about personal observations made during his recent five-month trip which included travel throughout the Union and an opportunity to visit and study the changes in urban and rural areas.
Dr. Raubenheimer was bom in South Africa and his sabbatical leave was the first opportunity in 25 years for him to return to his homeland to renew educational and official acquaintances and friendships.
