No Help Seen in Parking Space Squeeze
City Hall Officials Give Vague Answers To Parking Question
No relief is In sight for SC s acute shortage of parking space so far as can be learned from city officials.
Vague replies, resplendent with • possibly" and "maybe.'’ were given in answer to questions submitted Friday to the manager of the Recreation and Park commission, the city traffic engineer, and several persons working in City hall offices with some control over parking on city streets.
Parking in Exposition park and on Menlo avenue, between Exposi--tion and Santa Barbara boulevards, will continue to be restricted to two hours, until Feb. 26. The restriction probably will > be extended 30 days after that date, an unofficial source in City hall said.
Gecrge Hjelte, manager of the Recreation and Park commission, intimated a compromise may be worked out to allow some parking space for student cars and Exposition park.
Councilman G. Vernon Bennett, j 10th district, submitted a parking j resolution to the City council Feb.. 7 in response to a letter from John ; McElderry. Greater University com- : mittee member.
The resolution asked that parallel i parking be allowed on the south side of Exposition boulevard, between Vermont and Figueroa, and on Hoover boulevard, between Exposition and Jefferson; that parallel parking be changed to diagonal parking on 36th street, between McClintock and Jefferson; and that a 15 mile-per-hour zone be established on Hoover boulevard, between Exposition and Jefferson, to facilitate the plan of diagonal parking on that boulevard.
The resolution was referred to the Police and F.re committee. Asked about the plan, Ralph T. Dorsey, city traffic engineer, said diagonal parking may be allowed on Exposition. 'out suggested that student parkin? should not be the city’s problem but should be solved by the university.	* _

Crime is on the menu for the Wednesday luncheon meeting of the Men’s Faculty club. Richard Simon, Los Angeles Police department deputy chief in charge of personnel. will spealf on "Los Angeles, a Major Crime Area?’’
Simon believes that Los Angeles is going through the same phase of growing pains that Chicago and New York went through 50 and 100 years ago.
The rapid increase in residents is a cause of both major and minor crime. Simon says. Strangers to the city’s traffic system are involved in a high percentage of the automobile accidents.
The increase in population has also resulted in a shortage oi schools, transportation facilities, and other elements necessary to make life run smoothly, according to Simon.
Program chairman Henry Reining Jr.. asks that luncheon reservations be made in advance by calling Ext. 231.
SC Debaters Win Places In Tourney
Kureishi, Faruki Out As Stegman, Kolter Pace Trojan Squad
Hampered by the last-minute default of lead-off men Omar Kureishi and Kamal Faruki. SC’s debate squad found the sledding tough in the Pacific Southwest Debate tournament Friday and Saturday but managed to come away with second and third place laurels.
Competing at Bakersfield junior college against 120 top teams from 20 Pacific coast colleges and universities, three Trojan duos argued their way into the money before meeting defeat. Two other teams battled into the seventh round of their divisions before being bounced.
TAKE SECOND
Pacing the Trojan aggregation were Ed Stegman and Howard Kotler, who copped second place in the men’s upper division, dropping the nod to a Redlands team in the final heat. Also competing for top honors were Zulkifar Bhutto and Dave Hunter, who tied for third place in the men’s lower division.
SC’s feminine entry, June Louin and Evelyn Izen, came through with a tie for show money in the women’s upper division. Two other Trojan duos, Ed Levy and Bill Montapert and Milt Yusim and Dean Pic'l, were nudged in the seventh round after winning five of their seven starts.
EDUCATIONAL GRANTS
The teams debated the topic, "Resolved, that the federal government should adopt a policy of equalizing educational opportunity in tax-supported schools by means of annual grants.’’
Squad captain Kureishi and Faruki. were forced to default their team entrv in the Bakersfield meet because Kureishi’s previous committment to speak at a Town and Gown dinner Friday night prevented him from attending the opening rounds.
Two other veterans. Dale Drum and Al Wiggins, top-hands on last year's squad, attended the meet but did not enter the regular competition. They participated only in a warm-up debate.

TOMMY JONES . . . hot lips
Too Hot?
Tommy to Toot Torrid Trumpet
by Al Hix
Heat generated by the torrid wailings of Tommy Jones’ educated trumpet may present a problem for the planners of the second annual Winter carnival at the Bel-Air Bay club Saturday night, where Jones' band will play.
"All cur decorations are going to follow a snow and snowman theme,” explained Bill Parker, decorations chairman, "and they tell me this guy T. Jones blows such a fervent horn that it’s liable to melt them on the first chorus."
Jones has developed his individual trumpet stylings over a number of years by playing with such top bands as Harry James, George Olsen, Ray Noble, and Kay Kyser. The Jones aggregation was the Monday night feature at the Hollywood Palladium for many months, and during the war, Jones was the leader of an army musicai organization.
As an instrumentalist he ha^ appeared on numerous radio programs and has had as many as three recordings in one day. His own 8-piece group is featured on several recording labels and has been heard on every major radio network. He specializes in a smooth, danceable tempo for dancmg. with Jones himself occasionally taking the spotlight for a boomdockir.g chorus.
"With such a beautiful seizing as the Bel-Air Bay club and music by a band like Jones’ it's unfortunate that we must limit the bids to 300.’’ said George Wood, dance chairman, "but we want be certain that the place isn’t too ciov. d-ed.”
Bids to the semi-formal tiance are S2.50 and will be on sale this week until they are gone in front of the Administration building.

The University oi Washington nas : ; a 10-year tenure code which speci- 1 I fies definite causes for dismissal, he explained. They are incompetence, | immorality, neglect of duty, mental | or physical incapacity .and convic- • tion of a felony involving moral i turpitude.
STUDENTS TESTIFY I Dr. Phillips said Washington never attempted to establish a case i : against him based on these faults.: "It was made clear time and time j again that the reason for my dis- . missal was for membership in the j i Communist party and for that' alone. Students without any polm- ; cal bias as well as all the members . of my department testified to the : competence of my teaching, re-' search, and scholarship. Also I re- j ceived many letters from professors i at Columbia. Brown, and Yale tes-j tifying to my competence.’’

Ingolf Dahl, associate professor of music, last Tuesday was called w z witness in the $250,000 damage . suit of Igor Stravinsky against the Leeds Music company.
Stravinsky charged that the company adapted the popular ballad.
! "Summer Moon.” from his “Firebrand Suite,” and that it damaged his reputation by attaching hn name to the piece.
“The harmonies of ‘Summer Moon” have no connection to Stravinsky's music, and only 32 of the ' 46 bars of the melody bear arty re-j semblance.” said Dahl.
Stravinsky charges that he did , not give the music company permission to link his name with the ballad and that the name of the I arranger does not appear on the I music.
The counsel for Leeds Music company played a recording of the ballad in court. Dahl commented that the piece had ‘‘a little” musica!
i merit.
Questioned about the trial, Dahi i said that he liked jazz but w*as against watered-down classics.
“I don't believe in pitching clas-j sical music against popular music, for each has its limitations.” saic ! Dahl.
