Race' Vote By Senate Expected
Davis Says Race Data on Blanks OK; Padgett Disagrees
Weeks of bitter controversy will be climaxed tonight at 7:15 in the Senate chambers when Bob Padgett’s “race and descent” proposal is taken off the table, discussed, and voted upon.
At first called either a “moral issue” or “political issue,” the measure has aroused feeling so high that, in many
cases, the issue has been a purely personal one.
Originally scheduled for last Wednesday and then this Wednesday, the crucial session was advanced to tonight to permit senators to leave for Easter vacations.
“This issue has been so controversial that it calls for mature judg-

ment,” Johnny Davis said yesterday, j “I don’t want a lot of proxy votes : tomorrow night. The thing must be | settled.”
Padgett, who raised the issue, was pleased yesterday that the matter j was to come to a head.
“All this furore is regrettable,” he | said. “The whole thing has been j characterized by too much emotion- , alism.”
Davis agreed, and tossed the I blame into Padgett’s lap.
“They’re making a mountain out of a molehill,” he said. “I "have talked to Dr. Willett many times and I’m firmly convinced of the validity of the clause. He has shown me several uses for the information.”
Davis said that he intends to preside impartially tonight, despite his personal convictions.
Padgett stoutly defended his stand yesterday.
“My proposal was purely a recommendation,” he said, ’and I made it in good faith.”
Procrastination on the part of the Senate drew fire from Padgett.
Indications are that no matter what happens tonight, the “race and descent” clause will be a part of ASSC candidate campaign strategy in the forthcoming elections.
Record attendance is expected.

Law Students Plan 'Powder' From Studies
Future lawyers of the School of Law will have a “legal” holiday tomorrow, as they hold their fourth annual “Ditch day” at the Valley Park Country club.
Only mildly tolerated by the faculty, the event must have a good attendance to justify its existence. It offers a chance for single men to play football, married men to show off children, and eager beavers to get one day up in assignments.
The day’s activities, which will also include baseball and tennis, will last from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Free refreshments are to be provided.
All this, according to the School of Law press release.
Thus, it may be seen, air-tight alibis are provided for hundreds of law students, who are up on such things. In the event anything should happen to the Law building during the day. Very shrewd.
Delts Lose Social Rights
The case of the counterfeit R i cards was officially closed yesterday j as Delta Tau Delta was deprived I of social and pledging activities | until September, and placed “un- j der observation” until the 1950 spring semester.
“The matter is officially closed,” Prof. Sydney Duncan, acting faculty committee chairman on student activities, said. “The restrictions will stand. No more cards will be examined.”
Yesterday’s blanket punishment followed last month’s cancellation of three units from the programs of 17 Delta Tau Delta and eight ether students guilty of fraudulent, registration.
Setting of the three-unit cancellation followed a faculty committee hearing in which a registrar's office representative recommended cancellation of all class cards hearing the fake stamp. Friends of tne fraternity asked for leniency.
“Too severe,” was the opinion of Professor Duncan on the full cancellation proposal. “Our primary concern wa3 that the penalty be uniform.”
Before checking of cards by the registrar’s office was halted, 80 restricted class cards were discovered to be forgeries.
Men involved in the case said they paid $1 each for the cards. The eight women said they were offered the cards while waiting to register.
First of the phoney stamps was detected during late registration, and subsequent investigation uncovered 80 more cards which had bypassed the R card station.
“Any future cases of fraudulent registration will result in complete cancellation,” Professor Duncan said yesterday. “We decided on that previously and it still stands.”
Officers of Delta Tau Delta refused to comment-

Philosophy Essay Deadline Nears
Students in the William James prize essay contest should turn in their names this week, Mrs. Barbara Updike, secretary of the j School of Philosophy, said yesterday.
Deadline for submitting essays is i May l. Contestants are to hand in j their essays under assumed names j to avoid prejudice in judging.
The $100 cash prize for the best essay based on the writings of James will be awarded at commencement in June.
Emphasizing the causes of the crisis in China and relating these reasons to the general world crisis of today, Dr. Theodore Hsi-En Chen, professor of Asiatic studies and education will address the World Problems of Today forum tomorrow night at 7 in Bowne hail.
“The main problem in China today is communism and what is likely to happen in view of communist events,” Dr. Chen said. “It was not until the last three or four years that the Chinese Communists were able to expand their forces.”
In his talk, “China, a Danger Spot in the Far East,” Dr. Chen will also analyze the relative strength and weaknesses of both the Communist government and those of the Chinese Nationalist government.
The strength and extent of the Chinese Communist ties with Soviet Russia, the chances of the current peace negotiations succeeding, and the form of government that is likely to emerge from the confusion are questions that he will attempt to answer.
Dr. Chen was born and educated in China and came to the United States for graduate study. From 1929 to 1937 he was professor of education and dean of administration at Fukien Christian university in South China. In 1938 he returned to the United States and joined the !
SC faculty.
The Chinese university offered j him the position of acting president j in 1946. He accepted the offer and : one year later was elected Fukien’s | permanent president. Dr. Chen refused this offer and returned to SC w'here he is now head of the Asiatic studies department.

MORE CANDIDATES

Jones said that he believed the EPC rally was a success.
The first Row primary occurred last year when a tie vote necessitated a runoff election between the two Row candidates for ASSC president.
A main reason for the primary, according to Jones, is to raise the interest in studentbody elections among the organized students of the university.
Zoologists Pack For Death Valley
A camping trip to Death Valley j is being planned by members of the Zoology club for the coming va-

Under the direction of William V. Mayer, club adviser, the trip will be for collecting and sightseeing purposes. Members will gather par-I asetic and botanical specimens.
Unity party cogs issued a call yesterday for hats to be thrown into the Unity political ring.
Emphasizing that the party is wide open to candidates for ASSC offices who wish to run on the Unity ticket. Omar Kureishi, steering committee chairman, announced that petitions are available in 402 Student Union. The deadline for petitioning politicians is 4 p m. tomorrow.
NOT ANTI-FRATERNITY Seeking to scotch rumors that Unity is an anti-fraternity party, Kureishi said that group had always included fraternity men on its ticket. “Our slate is open to fraternity men and independents alike,” he said.
It was explained that the party was set up two years ago to afford independent students a chance to affiliate with a group. Its object at the time of inception was to fight a small minority of Row men who had cemented themselves into a tight little group controlling the student government.
ON THE UPSWING Eight senators supported by the Unity party were seated in last year's elections. The previous year's elections resulted in victory for only five candidates.
Pointing out that tne party definitely is on the upswing. Kureishi evaluated this year's prospects as “excellent.” The optimism for the May elections was attributed to the revised voting system. The new system eliminates the former preregistration bottleneck that forced * voters to queue up-

The first scene, which takes place in a bank, is designed by tha um of ihs4owi ar.d vertical
