Tracksters Switch To Coliseum Cinders In Move for Space
by Cliff Dektar
Plans for improvement of athletic facilities on Bovard field will soon be submitted to the administration for consideration, Willis O. Hunter, director of intercollegiate athletics, said yesterday.
The Daily Trojan yesterday carried an article which said that plans for improving Bovard field facilities had lain dormant on the desks of officials for nearly a month.
“We have some fine plans for . improvement of Bovard field,”' Hunter said. "We've been working on them for some time now.

Approval of the new plans would enable students to see baseball played on campus. It would also greatly reduce the chances of injuries to players and spectators now made possible by the position of the track and the lack of adequate facilities.
ADS Pledges Receive Prizes
A.plia Delta Sigma, national advertising fraternity, contributed to the confusion of Homecoming by sending their 20 pledges through an informal initiation during the hectic week.
Representing various business concerns and tlieu- products, the pledges romped the campus in costume for three days.
Bill Drazsnvak. as Bozo the Clown from Capital Records, won first prize. His antics in and out of the classroom were photographed by cameramen from Life magazine. The results will be seen in a future issue.
Second prize was taken by Bob Hart who displayed his personality a:, a representative of Dedrick’s Tuxedo Shop. His costume was incomplete as to certain minor details, trousers for one thing, but he vas wellcovered by photographers.
Homecoming Queen Charlene Hardey presented the winners with their awards.
Hollywood glamour came to Hillel house yesterday when Miss Mary P. Smith, hair stylist with Columbia studios, and Don Cash, freelance make-up artist, demonstrated the general art of makeup and the fundamentals of gcod grooming.
Going to work on Irv Kurtz. Hillel member. Cash turned out a | black eve that aijy Hollywood star J would be proud of. For tne benefit j of the ladies present, he demon- j j strated the rights and wrongs of j j putting on one's face.
Miss Smith, weildmg a wicked i ; comb, explained the intricacies of j j the pin-curl, and exhibited the ! i hair-do of I.izbeth Scott in her pic-j ture “Dead Reckoning."
"The technique of most of the |
! girls at the studio.” said Miss !
I Smith, “is to get the confidence of | the stars. Once we get that, they'll i I throw away their mirrors.”
Cash's experience with facial con- t i tour was instrumental in his ap- j ' pointment as consultant to Secre- j | tary of War. Henry L. Stimson, during the war. In that capacity, he i ) did confidential, experimental work i I on facial reconstruction.
In 1942. with the rank of cap- ;
| tarn, he joined the Army Medical j | center at the Walter Reed hospital ! in Washington. As an instructor in I lacial reconstruction, he trained ]
I maxillo-facial teams, each consist-j ing of a doctor and a dentist. At j the completion of their training,
| these men went out in the field for j practical experience. Theirs was ac- j I tually preliminary work on patients j I in preparation for major surgery at i a later and more convenient date.

Library Includes Rare Philosophical Volumes Valued at $40,000
The largest privately owned j philosophical library in Eu- i rope has been acquired by the j university, President Fred D. i Fagg Jr. announced yesterday, j Coveted by Hitler who sent his Gestapo troops after it, the world-famous Gomperz collection of philosophy books is now on campus.
Valued at $40,000 by independent book experts, the 18.000-volume collection is being carefully unpacked from 85 crates.
It was acquired by the university this week from Mrs. Ada Gomperz. widow of the late Dr. Heinrich Gomperz. Dr. Gomperz taught at SC from 1936 until his death in 1942.
RARE BOOKS INCLUDED
The collection is made up of rare and standard volumes which cover all fields of philosophy. Individual volumes date back 400 years.
The library was built up during the last century by the wealthy Viennese philosopher. Theodore Gomperz, who was regarded as one of the world’s best known authorities on Greek philosophy.
Gomperz's eldest son, Heinrich, continued building the collection after his father's death. In 1935, he ! came to Los Angeles where he taught at SC. When he came to i America, he left the library in Eu- j rope.
NAZIS MISSED IN 1938
In 1938, the Nazis confiscated the j property of al! Jews, including the i Gomperz collection. Friends manag- j ed to ferret 3230 volumes out of i Vienna to Los Angeles and away I from the Nazis.
When news of the confiscation ! reached him. Dr. Gomperz signed ! ever the library to the university.
! The university spoke to the State | department, and the US Ambassador in Vienna warned the Nazis to keep hands off th collection, now American property.
When the war came in 1941, the : Germans tried to confiscate the collection as enemy property. It was I again saved, this time by Gomperz's one-time secretary.
HITLER WANTED LIBRARY Because of the scores of claims and counter-claims, the Nazis intensified their efforts to get the books. Word reached Hitler, and he demanded the collection for his own library.
The 85 cases of books and pamphlets remained hidden, although they made a stack the size of a three-story house.
Hitler's Gestapo was sent out again to find it, but they never did.
It was in the basement of a bomb-ed-out building, covered with tons of debris.
RECOVERED FROM RUBBLE After the war, the mayor of Vienna, who had been “in" on the secret of the library's whereabouts, went to American officials with the information. The rubble was cleared away from the building by American troops and the valuable library recovered.

“Communism in France will not be stopped by democratic procedure. It’s like offering a man with a burst appendix a cup of tea instead of an operation.”
Dr. Rene Belle, director of the French department, expressed this opinion in defending his approval of Gen. Charles De Gaulle yesterday.
Addressing a luncheon meeting of Alpha Lambda Delta and Phi Eta Sigma, national honorary societies, Dr. Belle dismissed the moderate forces as ineffectual in the political “battle of extremists" because they have not developed a strong, militant program.
MILITARY GOVERNMENT De Gaulle has outlined his plans on a military basis and would use extreme measures in combating communism, he said. The French hero of World War II would immediately jail those responsible for the strikes that have plagued j French industry.

Woman Haters Standing Firm
Regardless of what has been said or printed, “Women Hating week’’ is still in force on campus, according to reports frcm “week” instigators along Fraternity Row.
Climax of the week-long display of beards and dislike for women will be an all-U dance this afternoon at the Fox Hills country club, 5830 West Slauson avenue, from 2:30 to 5:30.
The “week” received an inauspicious start last Monday when several men students were treated to dunk-ings and lockups for alleged violation of the no-talking-to-women iule.
Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men, requested the removal of stocks, water tubs, and other paraphernalia from fraternity property. He called a meeting of interested parties Tuesday to determine the future of the woman-hater movement.
Some students were almost convinced to suspend activities, when Bill Winn volunteered his services to organize a Friday afternoon social party open to both men and women.
An earlier agreement to hold a kangaroo court today to punish vio-laters was abandoned in favor of the social party at Fcx Hills.
“Today’s party is definitely open to both stag women and stag men and dates. No admission will be charged," said Winn.
Raubenheimer, educational vice-president; Charles Brown, president of the Jewish Community CouncU of Los Angeles; and Rabbi Arthur J. Lelyveld. national director of the foundation.

CAMPAIGNING LIMITED
All campaigning will be done in the two-week period preceding the election. This does not apply, however, to any meeting of any group nominating candidates prior to the all-university nomination assembly.
Wayne Chiappe, engineering president, declaring that there were "were many ways of getting around it,” requested that the two-week time limit on campaigning be rejected. The Senate voted 11 to 13 to defeat Chiappe when Connie Hug, Panhellenic council president, and Bob Padgett, veterans representative, spoke in favor of keeping the time limit. A motion to insert the word “active” before the word “campaigning" was soundly defeated.
MONEY REGULATED
Campaign expenses will be limited to $45 for ASSC presidential candidates and $25 for all others. Primary expenses are to be included in campaign expenses.
Campaign money may be spent only for advertisements in the DT, and any posters, pictures, banners, or placards to be used at the all-university pre-election rally. Posters are permitted two days before elections but not within 150 feet of the voting area.
