INANCE BILL TO INCREASE ASSC RESPONSIBILITY
by Bob Erburu
The questions of how much student responsibility in government fcC is allowed by the administration at present and how more ponsibility can be obtained was debated long and furioudy Wed-esday night as the ASSC Senate thrashed out the now-dear inration issue.
The senators discussed incorporation as the best means of at-ing their goal of greater responsibility and interest before finally tlmg on a compromise financial plan of control that, the malty argued, will accomplish much of what they are driving at in more feasible manner.
The actual incorporation issue was questioned by some sena-as to it> financial soundness and the practicability of imple-Ution. Senator-at-large John F. Bradley stated that the plan f Wendell Ca ey was too dependent on bookstore income which •as subject to many fluctuations. Under Casey's budget for the incorporated ASSC $“50,000 in income would come from the bookstore to help meet proposed expenditures slightly in excels of $101,000.
Commerce President Terry Gordon expressed doubts as to the ‘legal advisability of incorporation and felt that the problems involved would be “staggering.”
The Senators also li tened to opposition from Dean of Students ird L. Hyink. Dean Hyink told the Senate that his thinking net in favor of incorporation. “Why as ume the headaches of tning a bookstore,” he said. “The answer to the quest on of eontrol lies with the students. Thev don’t need incorporation to
DICK VAN LAANAN . . . questions
do this. If students will accept more responsibility they can have more control,” Dean Hyink said.
Senators favoring incorporation argued not for the move per se, but for the principle of greater student responsibility in government which, they said, ircorporation represents.
Debate representative Mohinder Bedi stated that the basic principle wa» that “things that are integral parts of student expenditures should be controlled by students.”
Bedi said that incorporation would not be a final divorce from the administration. “Student? should continue to accept advice from the administration as the administration is supposed to accept advice from the Senate,” he said. Bedi argued that the students suffer at prerent from the lack of responsibility in running their affairs. He criticized the operation of the book:tore and cafateria and said that students do not patronize these establishments be cause “they have forgotten they have any rights or interests in these things.”
Veterans representative Dick Van Laanan questioned Dean Hyink's statement that the students can have more control if they accept their responsibilities ^by stating that students “don’t have responsibility because the Dean of Students can disapprove of their projects at his own whim.”
Junior President Bob Hitchcock noted that there is a difference between whim and judgment and stated that under incorporation some type of a graduate manager would be exercising the same authority as the Dean of Students. Hitchcock urged the Senate not to discuss details but the main issue of whether or not incorporation

would be of more value to students than the present set-up.
Parliamentarian Dean Pic’l attacked those who questioned the technical feasibility of Incorporation stating that the real issue was “will not incorporation increase the education of students and give them the ability to grow in their school and not be simply nurtered by the administration?”
After recess Casey and some of the other solons made a rather startling about face with Casey proposing a new amendment in substitution for the incorporation proposal. Casey, who had endorsed incorporation, then termed the plan, “too complicated."
IK President Bill McGinn followed by irately charging Casey with making the Senate “look damnably ridiculous" by having them debate incorporation when he had the new proposal ready.
Parliamentarian Pic’l sprang to Casey’s defense, however, and justified the about face by explaining that the new plan would accomplish the basic step—greater student responsibility and contra? in government—in a much better fa-unm ilutn uiwaiWAUun ind he lauded Casey for being “big enough” to change his mind and come forth with this new and, In PlcTs opinion, better plan.
Apparently the rest of the Senate agreed with PicT, at least enough so to pass the measure by a 22 to 1 vote. McGinn was the lone senator to oppose the new amendment. ASS*C Vice-President Ann Dillon abstained, while Senators Jerry Amo, Jhn Barton, Allyn Hunt, Don Wake, Tony Ward, and Joyce Wilson were not present for the roll call. Nancy Ridgway proxied for AMS President Jeanne Eaton and Bob Morrell proxied for Engineering prexy Bin Hansen, both voting yes on the amendment.

Wallbank Asks For Return To America
T. Walter Wallbank, professor of history, who is teaching in Cairo, Egypt, on a Fulbright scholarship, has stated his desire to return to the United States at once, according to the Chicago Daily News.
Wallbank. British-born and an admirer of British foreign policy, reportedly has been in trouble with both students and newspapers in Egypt because “he belittles, by implication. Egypt’s complaints against the British in the Suez canal," the News said.
Students Complain
Students at Fouad university In Cairo have complained to their dean that Wallbank sometimes expresses praise for British colonial policy in India. He is a specialist in this field.
At latest reports the university had an enrollment of 11.464 students and a faculty of 12-59.
The Chicago paper also stated that three newspaper articles have complained about Wallbsnk’s pro-British teachings. Two of them were in the Communist press.
‘We’ll Stay*
Most of the other foreign faculty members at the university want to complete the year unless there are further riots against foreigners, the Youngstown. Ohio, Vindicator stated in a recent news story concerning Wallbank.
The Vindicator said Wallbank was reported to have asked the Fulbright organization, which sends both students and professors abroad for a year, to consider his return to the United States at once.

IFC Seeks To Revise Constitution
Interfraternity council members found their constitution “inadequate” so proposed to revise it at yesterday’s meeting.
Bob Flanderick, Theta Xi, was appointed chairman of the revision committee and will work with John Chapman, Theta Xi, and Don Rein-holdt, Theta Chi.
The revision proposal was brought up by Flanderick, who pointed out that the present one is “inadequate and impractical in regulating fraternity relations.”
Kelly Comments
Chuck Kelly, IFC president, commented that the present constitution is “so verbose as to be superfluous in parts and difficult to work with in general.”
“The inadequacy of the IFC constitution came to my attention when we (IFC members) were carrying out the investigation to find out who recently stole most of the Row’s trophies in a single night,” Flanderick said.
No Penalty
“We consulted the constitution to see what punishment could be meted out to the thieves and how we would go about making a judgement on the matter. We found that there was no stipulation in the constitution to deal with the matter.” Flanderick added.
“That ended the investigation as far as we were concerned, or at least halted it until the constitution can be revised.” Flanerick said.
Flanderick expects the revamping of the constitution to be completed in two weeks.

Jerry Giesler, the SC alumnus who has become as prominent as his Hollywood clients that he defends in court, will speak today at 10 a.m., in the third floor auditorium of the law building. The program, a regular S chool of Law assembly, is open to the student body.

Baxter Heads Centennial
The Melville Centenary Celebration, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the writing of the American novel, “Moby Dick,” by Herman Melville, will be held tonight at Thorne hall, Occidental college, at 8:15.
C. L. R. Jones, noted British author and lecturer, will be the main speaker. He addressed the Columbia university Melville Centenary celebration in New York city also.
Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English, will be chairman for the program.
The constitutional, amendment passed by the ASSC Senate Wednesday night, the third such constitutional change upon which students will vote in the general ASSC elections in May, provides for a new Board of Financial Control, an outgrowth of the present ASSC Pinnace committee
The board will be composed of six members—three students (ASSC president and two senators) and three faculty members (dean of students, student activities adviser, and a member of the faculty Student Activities committee).
Under the new plan each member has one vote and in the event of a tie the matter pending will be referred to the ASSC Senate for decision.
Essentially, the board will manage all the monies that the university budgets to student activities. At present the student budgets are under direct control of the dean of students, subject to student advice.
The board also will prepare an
annual budget to be submitted to university authorities as is the practice in all university departments. The student activities adviser is entrusted with the keeping of records of income and expenditures and the disbursement of funds upon the direction of the board.
The board is subject to the general policies of the ASSC Senate and cannot withdraw funds for any purpose when a majority of the Senate opposes. Also prohibit ed to the beard is the power to withhold unallocated funds when two-thirds nf the Senate shall desire it for a legal specific purpose and control over the salary or tenure of any non-student university employees paid from the student accounts.
Under the new amendment surpluses accruing from student fundraising activities, primarily dances, will be credited to the student account and used by the board rather than reverting to the university general fund.

Health Center's X-Ray Service to End Today
One hundred and thirty-seven Trojans have taken advantage of the Health Center’s free chest X-*-ay offer. The service ends today.
Students, faculty, and employees who want to be X-rayed may report to the Student Health Center between 12 and 2 p.m.
Results of the examination are mailed to the participants as soon as they are compiled.
Diagnosis of the exposures already taken reveal that the persons X-rayed are in fair health.
“In examining some of the X-rays, the infirmary doctors have found respiratory troubles,” said
Eleanor Johnson, supervisor of nurses. “When these troubles are caught in the early stages, they can be remedied so that the patient does not suffer great ill-effects,” Johnson added.
X-rays are shot in the section of the Health Center devoted to X-ray work. A special room has been set aside for this week's chest X-raying.
Exposures are developed and then placed under an illuminated viewer for examination and interpretation.
Of the 137 Trojans X-rayed, 99 are students, 18 are employees, and 20 are faculty members.
Monday Deadline to Apply for Draft Test
Monday at midnight is the deadline for all draft eligible students to mail in their application to take the Apr. 24 draft deferment test. Applications must be postmarked by Monday.
Students to be eligible for the test must be enrolled in a full course of study leading to a degree and must not have taken the test previously. Students who apply must be selective service registrants.
Application blanks can be obtained from any draft board. The nearest draft board to the university Is located at 1206 Santee street.	\
Dr. Albert F. Zech, counselor of' men, said that passing the test and maintaining a fairly high
scholastic standing are almost positive guarantees for deferment?
A score of 70 or better is passing for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Being in the upper half of the freshman class, upper two thirds of the sophomore class, and upper three fourths of the junior class are strong basis for academic deferment.
Seniors mur.t score 75 or above to pass the. test and are granted scholastic deferment if in the upper half of their class. Seniors accepted to graduate school are automatically deferred.
Graduate students are deferred as long as they remain in good scholastic standing.
“More than 2000 men at SC who have not taken the deferment test are eligible for the draft,” said John Cauley, assistant registrar. “Good grades alone may not keep them ont of the service,” he added.
“In fact, some students who stood very high scholastically have been inducted. Whether this ran be attributed to thefr not taking the test is questionable, but almost all of the students passing the test are still in school,” Jameson said.
The Apr. 24 test is the fifth to be given at SC. Approximately 2500 students have taken the test in the past and a high per-
centage of them have passed.
Countrywide surveys of the results of the last four tests have shown that, of the 340,000 having taken the test, 63 per cent have passed.
Dr. Zech urges all draft-age students, not having previously taken the test, to apply for it now.
“It probably will not be given this summer, so draft-eligible students without test deferment status may be drafted while on vacation.” Furthermore, the Apr. 24 test may be the last one to be given for some time, so those men planning to remain in school are advised to take the test now,” Zech commented.
Practice of Law.”
Some of Giesler’s past activitae* as a defence attorney would make good material for movies, most people agree. They quickly add, however, that if Hollywood were casting a successful criminal lawyer type. Giesler couMn’t let part the studio gate. TTie only thing glamorous about him is his courtroom record. In appearance, he most resembles a small town businessman.
Came West
Giesler, the son of a small-town-in-Iowa banker, oame to southern California because eye trouble postponed his entrance ki an eastern law school. He worked in Les Angeles for a year, and when his eye« improved, he entered SC, operating a collection agency to help pay his way.
His first job was with Earl Rogers, who was defending Clarence Darrow in the Los Angeles Times bombing case. When Rogers-became ill, Giesler took over and successfully defended Darrow.
It was in the Alexander Pan-tages case in 1931—which Giesler considers the turning point of his career—that the nation was made aware of Giesler's courtroom brilliance.
Saved Pantages
Pantages had been convicted, with the jury recommending the maxi-rnum sentence, on a charge at attacking a girl. Giesler gamed a new trial via the question of the girl's “prior chastity.” Pantages was , acquitted in the new trial.
In Charlie Chaplin’s Mann Act ca>e, the comedian was accused ol transporting Joan Berry to New Yorx for immoral purposes. Giesler won Chaplin’s acquittal by proving Miss Berry was a protege upon whom ChapJin had spent thousands. and was therefore a business investment.
Several years later two teen-aged girls alleged that Errol Flynn had attacked them. Giesler won Flynn’s acquittal when the case turned out to be the girls’ words against that of Flynn.
Defends Stripper
More recently, Giesler rated comic notices for his defense of stripteaser Lili St. Cyr, accused of putting on an indecent show at a night club. She was acquitted, and row draws nearly twice as much money for the same act.
Giesler’s talk has been scheduled through the efforts of Delta Theta Phi. national legal fraternity. Ned R. Nelson, dean of Delta Phi. is expecting a big crowd this morning. Estimated capacity of the auditorium is 450, according to Harry L. Root, law students' activities spokesman.
Don Mitchell of Delta Phi will introduce Giesler.	'
