Officials Bewildered at Noise; Demand Expenditure Investigation

eshman election campaigning exploded on campus yes-ay with a force that rocked student and administration cials back on their heels in amazement. Handbills, loud-kers. and dixieland bands marked the climax of the idential and vice-presidential campaigns which, until

Dr. Albert F. Zech, counselor of men; Johnny Davis, ASSC president; and Bill McGurty, election commissioner; unanimously expressed bewilderment at the sudden sound and fury.
Repercussions accompanied the explosion. Both Davis and Dr. Zecn said they were not in favor of handbills and loudspeakers on campus, and other persons demanded ational Campaign Issues of ; an investigation of candidates ex-’ is the topic of today’s panel : penditures. ssion. sponsored by Pi Sigma j GRATIFIED BY SPIRIT a, national political science Davis said he was gratified by the rarv.

Lucky Trojans Face a Treat; AWS to Sell Doughnuts Sweet
Chocolate and orange doughnuts will be soid today by members of the AWS associate cabinet.
Chocolate and orange doughnuts!
Members will hav^ a chocolate and orange doughnut booth in front of Bovard auditorium and will carry brightly decorated boxes chock-1 full of those delicious, health-giving, energy-packed, vitamin-swarming chocolate and orange doughnuts.
Earnings (from the chocolate and orange doughnut sale) will go to the associate cabinet treasury. Prof-
its will probably not be used to buy more chocolate and orange doughnuts.
“This sale is to help students really get in the spirit of halloween,” said Madlyn Tuttle. AWS vice-pres-icent and the chocolate and orange doughnut queen of 1948, “and to give them a gastronomical treat as well.”
This seems to mean that chocolate and orange doughnuts are good, as well as being just oh so good for you.

IFC Will Vote To Settle Split
Final settlement of the current split in fraternity ranks over In-terfratemity council participation in school politics is expected today.
The council meets at 5 this evening to vote on a motion that it withdraw from political affairs altogether.
Subject of heated controversy on the Row for more than a week, the withdrawal motion was placed before the council by Ralph Townsend, ex-chairman of a special committee appointed to investigate fraternity politics.
This investigation, begun early in the semester, was prompted by a blowup during the last ASSC presidential election. At that time, the IFC deadlocked over endorsement of a fraternity candidate, and a special all-Row primary was held to decide the issue.
Success of this procedure in placating hurt feelings along the Row led the IFC to investigate the possibility of forming a permanent political action group.
Townsends committee was appointed for this purpose, but the plan collapsed when the Panhellenic council ruled that sorority women would not take part in politics.
Asserting that without participation of women voters any such Row political group would be only another IFC, Townsend resigned and recommended that fraternity politics be taken out of the IFC.

AWS Releases Songfest Rules
AWS officers yesterday announced rules for Songfest, group singing contest for women living on campus.
Singers must not sing the same songs used iast year and must sing without instrumental accompaniment. Each group, consisting of from nine to twelve women, will sing one song.
Women participating must wear white or black gowns and are not permitted to wear or carry flowers. Sorority women must sing only sorority songs, and no long solos will be permitted. Each group w'ill be limited to three minutes, participants must be residents of dormitories, or actives or pledges of the scrorities they represent.

Wallace Shows Top Vote Gain
In a straw vote taken before and after the LAS political debate in the University library yesterday, Henry Wallace and Norman Thomas showed the most gain.
In the first vote Wallace polled 32, while Thomas, the Socialist candidate, received an undetermined part of ten votes registered for “other” candidates.
After Dr. Sidney W. Benson, associate professor of chemistry, and an unidentified Thomas supporter aired their views, the two men polled 42 and 19 respectively.
Dr. Benson based his argument for Wallace on the fact that he is the only candidate with clearly stated views on any of the major issues. The nearest we can come to identifying both Democratic and Republican opinion seems to be in the records of the 79th and 80th Congresses, he said.
Dr. Floyd L. Ruch, head of the department of psychology, stood for Truman and suggested that voters make a mental checklist on major issues and pick their man from that.
Dr. Ruch took foreign policy and education as his examples. On the former he checkd Truman because of the conciliatory attitude of the Dewey camp toward fascist Spain.

Debate Rules
Dobkin to Talk On Procedure
Milt Dobkin will take over the Student Leadership forum today, 3:15 p.m., in Bowne hall with a lecture on parliamentary procedure.
Dobkin is noted for his oratorical ability. A senior speech major, he is manager of the debate team and chairman of the ASSC Senate rules committee, a post he has held since the fall of 1946.
Dobkin said the use of parliamentary procedure in meetings is the best wray of keeping controversial subjects on an even and calm basis and the best way of arriving at decisions without prejudicing either side.
“Lack of it keeps organizations in a perpetual mess,” Dobkin added.
Acknowledged by campus politicians as one of the most astute parliamentarians on campus, Dobkin picked up his knowledge of it by reading books on parliamentary procedure. He did so, he said, to protect himself from campus opponents who used their familiarity with it to his disadvantage.
PARIS, Oct. 27—(UP)—The Israeli government today rejected the United Nations order to withdraw from newly won territory in the Negev, and British officials at once suggested punitive action against the Jews.
Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok notified acting UN Mediator Dr. Ralph J. Bunche here that the question of withdrawal from the disputed Negev in southern Palestine is one for “possible negotiation.”
Shertok’s reply answered Bunche’s request Monday that Egyptians and Jews pull back to the positions they [ held Oct. 14 before fighting flared up in the Negev.
ISRAELI TROOPS AFFECTED
For practical purposes, however, the UN order to withdraw and Britain’s enforcement proposal al-fected only Israeli troops, since they wen the brief desert war.
Britain’s move toward invoking UN sanctions is made in a resolution now being drafted, asking the Security Council “to study the possibilities” of punishing the truce violators.
American sources said the U. S. may give it tentative support. It will be presented by Britain’s Sir Alexander Cadogan when the council meets again tomorrow on Egypt’s protest against alleged Israeli truce violations.
JEWS STAND FIRM
Although Shertok’s letter seemed to leave open the possibility of negotiations, Israeli sources here made it clear the Jews have no intention of giving up the corridor they hacked out to Jewish settlements in the Negev.
So far, Egypt has not replied to Bunche, but it is believed certain that she will accept, since her troops were thrown back and she would stand to gain.

Proposal Will Initiate All-Male Card Section at Saturday s Game
by Bob Pike and Jerry Bres
Plans were announced last night in the ASSC Senate meeting for an all-male rooting section, possibly supplemented by a smaller all-woman section, in an attempt to bolster cheering at the forthcoming football game with the University of California.
The plans were announced by Morey Thomas, president of the Knights.
There will be no bonfire rally or major studio preview and possibly no taxi-day during Homecoming week.
Ralph Townsend announced the elimination of these features in the Homecoming committee report. Townsend said he had encountered difficulty in meeting with administration officials resulting in the curtailment of his plans.
FIVE DISSENT The proposal for the all-male rooting section was passed with only five dissenting votes. Chief among the opponents were Connie
Floats on Bill For Big Week
Floats will definitely be used during Homecoming celebrations, according to Ralph Townsend committee chairman.
He said that rules and regulations are being sent out to organizations on campus.
Matt Lerner, in charge of radio and television said that publicity via the airways is assured.
••Radio station KXLA has promised 100% backing for the big week," he said. Disc jockeys Carl Bailey and Alex Cooper will plug the festivities from that station,” he said.
“It looks like we'll get television coverage too," said Lerner. He said that his committee is negotiating with a leading video station.
Don Evans, queen contest chairman, expressed disappointment because applications have been coming in slowly. He said all applications must be submitted by Monday.
“Aspirants have until Nov. 8 to turn in the photos,” Evans concluded.
The queen trophy by Desmonds
will be on display in the lobby of the Student Union until Friday.

SC’s marine laboratory ship, Velero IV, is the newest and most completely equipped vessel of its type in the world today.
Installed on board the ship are many of the latest electronic devices and other instruments to aid SC scientists in their research and exploration work.
There are only a few other ships engaged in the same type of work for which the

at Oceanside has several crafts designed for oceanographic work, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic institute has the Atlantis.
In charge of the 510-ton Velero is Capt. Allan Hancock, director of the Allan Hancock Foundation for Scientific Research.
RADAR USED ON VELERO Up in the pilothouse Captain Hancock showed newsmen the many instruments that help make “pushbutton sailing’’ possible on the Velero. It has a Sperry gyro compass.
The captain pointed out the SperTy radar device which has a 30-mile range and the 4000-fathom sonar fathometer used for sounding out ocean depths.
“We not only use radar for navigation when visibility is poor,” Captain Hancock said, “but also in our scientific surveys.”
BRIDGE HOLDS CONTROLS Engine room telegraph controls, an intership telephone system, and an automatic and electric steering control are on the bridge of the ship.
With Captain Hancock, newsmen met Dr. Maurice Nelles, head of aeronautical engineering at the College of Aeronautics and supervisor j for the installation oi most of the j electrical and electronic devices on [ the Velero.
Dr. Nelles took observers into a ; small room off the pilothouse which i he explained was to be used as an electronics laboratory.

Rooters Caps Will Be Uniform for Tomorrow
Morey Thomas. Trojan Knight president, last night urged all students to wear rooters caps while on the campus tomorrow.
Purpose of the move, Thomas said, was to build spirit for Saturday’s gridiron tussle with Cal. He urged that all organization heads carry the message to their groups in an attempt to gain full cooperation from the student body.

While taxi-day is not definitely out, Dr. Albert S. Raubenheimer, educational vice-president, has rejected it on any day during Home-j coming week except Friday, Townsend said.
Miss Rose added that the problem will be presented to Panhellenic today.
As an outgrowth of the vigorous j campaigning for freshman class of-1 fices, the Senate voted to form a j committee to consider election pro-I cedure in regard to campaigning in the future.
NONE EXCEEDS LIMIT
Because of doubt that the freshman office seekers could carry suet* energetic campaigns and stay within the $20 limit for campaign expenditures, Bob Padgett, independent representative, checked the first-year politicians’ spending.
He reported that while many were close to the limit none had exceeded it. Those using loudspeaking systems denied paying any money for them, he said.
ASSC President Johnny Davis announced a special Senate meeting this afternoon at 5 to approve or reject freshman election results. The Senate voted to go along with present ballot counting procedure. Ann Rose and Senator-at-Large Walt Brown were appointed by Davis to be present at the ballot counting.
APPROVE MOORE
Final approval of George Moore as International Relations president was given by the Senate along with approval of the IR constitution. Moore had previously been approved as temporary president when Dick Barton resigned.
The Senate voted to send a letter to the educational vice-president requesting information as to the qualifications and restrictions on speakers appearing on campus.
Ed. Students To Hear Talk
Techniques of teacher placement will be discussed by Edith Weir, director of SC teacher placement bureau, tomorrow at 10 a.m. and at 12 noon. 305 Administration.
Miss Weir will speak before the Education club, which is meeting twice for convenience of education students. She will emphasise the Services of her department and the opportunities offered.
