Police Practice Leniency on Rainy Day
Although yesterday was a rainy day, police officers were found to have a little sunshine in their hearts, especially for rain-drenched students.
Many motorists hurrying to morning classes parked their cars on University avenue in order to avoid the rain, and they also managed to avoid parking tickets.
The University division of the Los ' Angeles police notified campus police that they would not ticket any cars parked on the avenue while it was raining.
They did not say whether this would set a precedent for all rainy days.
igo, today is expected to be a busy day, Howard W. Patmore, registrar, said yesterday.
Last year at this time 4600 Students had signed up for their
or Caeser Curzi as Volpone’s crafty servant, and Phyllis Althof as his mistress.

Nixon Praises SC Band in Note to Walker
Tommy Walker, Trojan band director, yesterday received a note from Vice-president-elect Richard Nixon, complimenting the SC band for their fine showing New Year’s day. Nixon was grand marshal of the Tournament of Roses parade and attended the game with his wife Pat, an SC alumna.
Top-Notch Music
“I am afraid,” he said, “That any unbiased observer would have to admit that" in the past six years of the Big Ten-Pacific Coast contract the Pacific Coast bands, as w'ell as our teams, came out second best. This year, however, I think everyone will agree that both Wisconsin and USC had top-notch musical organizations on the field.”
He said that he was particularly impressed with the band number in which the glee club sang, “This is My Country.” “I don’t see how you could have done it better,” he said.
Tommy Pleased
Walker was very pleased with the note and said that he also received congratulatory letters from Clarence Sawhill, president of the College Band Masters association and former director of bands at SC, and Karl Bratton, dean of music at New Hampshire university. Bratton said that he. had watched the band on television.
Walker also said that one former band member who marched in the Rose Bowl in 1947 returned to march New Year’s day to “get revenge for the last bowl game.” That was when Michigan’s dazzling marching band invaded the Southland.
Undefeated Trojans Underdogs in PCC Net-fest at UCLA

It’s a topsy-turvy situation that confronts SC’s undefeated basketballers as they invade UCLA’s Westwood crematorium at 8:30 p.m. tonight and tomorrow evening for PCC clashes with the favored^Bruins. Not too long before tonight’s battle— the 96th between the rivals—preseason cage proph-

South Koreans Make SC Tour
Four South Koreans newly arrived to the U. S. stopped off for a tour of SC yesterday enroute to Missouri State Teachers college where they will do graduate work in political science, history,' foreign service, and political economy.
The SC tour wras part of a two-week orientation program planned by “Asia Calling,” a magazine whose publishers are sponsoring the students.
The four students are Mar Ho Shn, 32, Pusan: Kim Hak Yul, 31, Chuo: Hae-Jong Chun, and U Yung Chung, 26. both from Seoul.
Ten Chosen
Fifty students applied for the scholarships offered to South Koreans by Missouri, and of those, 20 were chosen by the Korean minister of education to take the scholarship examinations. The final field was narrowed to ten. Five are still in Korea and will be sent over in the near future to begin their studies, one is in San Francisco, and the other four on their way to Missouri.
Educate! Leaders
“Asia Calling” is sponsoring the students in order to educate leaders for South Korea and to "swing the balance in Asia to Christianity and dctmocracy,” said J. R. Saunders, founder of 45 orphanages in China and husband of the “Asia Calling” editor.
All four of the students arte graduates of Korean and Japanese universities. Chung is former war historian for the Korean War department, and Chun was instructor of history in Seoul National university.
Morley Pales At Slump in Ticket Sales
“Ticket sales for the SC-UCLA basketball series this weekend are very disappointing,” John Morley, ticket manager said yesterday. Seven hundred and fifty tickets were put on sale for each night, and yesterday afternoon about 550 tickets had been sold for Friday night and only 350 for Saturday.
UCLA has completely sold out both games, which indicates that SC’s baby rooting section will be pretty well drowned out.
A ticket sales clerk expressed her disappointment in these words:
“The fact the UCLA only charges 25 cents a ticket may have something to do with it,” she said. SC tickets are sold for 50 cents apiece.
Tickets can be purchased all day today for either night or both, if desired. Students must present activity books to secure tickets.

Congressional Witch Hunters Not Needed
by Charles Barnett
College administrations and faculties can take care of the threat of communist infiltration themselves without the meddling of congressional committees.
That was the opinion expressed yesterday by Leon Henkin, associate professor of mathematics, in an interview concerning the recent announcement of congressional investigations of possible communist infiltration of colleges.
Henkin attacked the opinions expressed by Rep. Harold H. Velde, House Un-American Activities committee chairman, in a recent Daily Trojan interview. Velde said that he intended to expose and label Communist Sympathizers who slanted the true facts to mislead students.
No Danger Now
Henkin said he believes that although the world Communist movement is dangerous to democratic ideals, there is no such I danger in American universities at the present time.
“University administrators are wTell able to keep things in check without interference of legislators,” he said.
He said that congressmen are not qualified to judge whether or not teachers are “slanting tjie true facts.”
“A demand for true facts and honest treatment is unexceptionable,” he said, “but this does not provide a really workable criterion for judging a teacher. Especially when administered by a publicity-seeking group of political office-holders, such standards are most likely to cloak the imposition of personal prejudice.
“Their talk about truth and honesty is just a mask for imposing their own particular political views,” he said.
Cause Reversed
“These activities are bringing some of the worst features of the Communist state into our own educational institutions.”
Henkin said he infqred from Velde's statements that Velde “feels that communism definitely has nothing to offer for America and therefore the unfavorable aspects of Communism should be emphasized to insure that the impression left with the student will be unfavorable. "This, of course, is not honest,” Henkin said.
"Honest treatment would emphasize neither favorable nor non-favorable aspects and let the student form his final opinion according to the student's own values,” he said.
SC Alum Honored On TV Program
SC alumnus Dr. Frank H. Sparks, former president of the Graduate School student body, was honored recently on Ralph Edwards’ “This Is Your Life” television program.
Now president of Wabash college, Ind., Dr. Sparks was surprised by the appearance on the show of high school classmates, former teachers, and business affiliates of many years ago.
Professor Says Chinese Reds Don t Like War
by Kent Wood
“The Chinese Communists don’t want to continue the Korean war,” said Dr. Theodore H. E. Chen, head of the department of Asiatic studies, who will lecture Wednesday on the Chinese Communists.
The strength and weakness of the Communist government will be discussed by Dr. Chen at 3 p.m. in the Art and Lecture room of Doheny library.
Too Great Expense
The war is weakening the control of the party, whicn consists of a very small percentage of the population, he said.
The people are being taxed to the limit, which is creating much dissatisfaction, e x p 1 a i n ed Dr. Chen. Furthermore the Russian sattilite is investing as much mo*ney in the war as is the United States, yet it lacks the resources of the U.S.
“China, however, is subject to the desires of Russia and therefore powerless to end the war,” he said.
Strict Discipline
The Communists were successful before assuming power in October of 1949 because of the strict discipline in the party. Now the party members, in control, feel entitled to luxuries and enjoyment. Therefore the party has lost its strength, discipline, he said.
The new regime has failed to fulfill its promises of bettering the economic conditions in China, and as a result much discontent is breeding among the people.
This is the reason many of the Communists themselves, all of whom are fanatics, are losing interest in the party, said Dr. Chen.
Reds Still Powerful
“If it weren’t for the Korean war, the Communist government might possibly succeed in China,” he said. “All the interest of the government has to' be concentrated on the war, resulting in the neglect of many problems at home.”
The present government is still very powerful, however, and it will be several years before the Nationalists are powerful enough to make a new bid for the control of China, he said.
School to Cet Uniform Locks
The standardization of all locks in campus buildings is the newest step in SC’s modernization program Elton D. Phillips, business manager, announced yesterday.
Purpose of the move, Phillips said, is to equip all buildings with one uniform lock. “SC buildings have just too many different brands of locks.” he added .
“The Physical Education building is the first campus structure to undergo the change, which will take 10 years to complete because of limited funds,” he said.
The newer campus buildings are already equipped with this kee-way. Founders hall, the Commons, the Dentistry building, the YWCA, and Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall have the special locks.
ing in the league basement and the Bruins waltzing to their fifth straight southern division title.
Instead, Coach Forrest Two-good's unimpressive, but'undaunted, team shares the top rung with California with 2-0 marks, while the Uclans are cellar dwellers with stumbling Stanford.
Another innovation in thi* series is the change in hosting schedules. In past years the Bruins have enjoyed the advantage of playing the final two games on their court. On several occasions this has been the deciding factor in settling the division championship.
Incidentally, SC has captured 19 of 25 opening games since thi* cage feud began in 1928, and ha* lost only four curtain raiser* since 1932.
No More Jinx While once the exploited West-wood-floor jinx had held visiting teams in psychological awe, any such illusions have currently been dispelled by California and Washington cagers. Cal, twice, and the Huskies have beaten the Bruins in a superstitionless manner—and within a month. SC has also whipped UCLA twice at Westwood since Coach John Wooden’* arrival there.
In view of these changes there is minute speculation among Trojan rooters—the very few who attend games and cheer their team—that perhaps this revolutionary trend may affect custodians controlling windows of the Bruin enclosure. In past years it has been their concrete custom to protect the stifling air of the Westwood incinerator from its fresh and cool ilk outside. Mum, anyone?
Starting Five Intact Coach Twogood is expected to field the same five that has ripped through 10 games without a setback. Capt. Kenny Flower and Ed Simpson will start at forward; Roy Irvin at center; and Dick Welsh and Chuck Reilly at guard.
Wooden is countering this combo with Ronnie Bane and John Moore up front; Mike Hibler at center; and Don Bragg and Ron Livingston in the backcourt. This five has led UCLA in registering its 7-4 record.
The Bruin starters Mold a 1-inch height advantage over the Trojan regulars who average 6 feet 2 inches.
Troy Holds Edge Seasonal scoring comparisons of the team give Troy a decided edge, offensively and defensively. SC has averaged 70.1 points a game while holding its opponents to 56.9. UCLA has a 65.6 scoring mark while checking its foes to 61 points a contest.
Despite SCs amazingly successful 10-0 standard, there has been a flagrant disposition by critics to underscore the wejk teams SC has faced in compiling 't* enviable record.
Coach Twogood could tell these sour-grapers that he has enough troubles uncovering cage talent for his own club without prospecting personnel for his rivals. These gripers experienced unbridled glee when these same teams (Hawaii. Utah, and Stanford) were clobbering Troy five times la/fct season.
Five Straight Losses Press reports from Westwood stress that the Bruin basketballers have beaten the Trojans five straight times, and should the Uclans harbor any thoughts of setting a record against SC, they have an unsurmoiintable task facing them. Between 1932 and 1943, Trojan teams clobbered UCLA in 42 consecutive meetings in their crosstown cage vendettas. Chief obstacles for a UCLA vic-(Continued on Page 3)
