AMS, AWS Plan
Orientation Show
Smoke rings, end runs, high fashion, and tea will hold the spotlight concurrently when the AMS and AWS hold their orientation programs from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday.
The AMS will hold its smoker in the Student Lounge while AWS members and new feminine students will view a
fashion show to the tune of swishing teabags at the YWCA.
Later in the evening, according to George Gonzales, AMS president, a mixer dance will get under way at the YWCA.
Serving as AMS smoker master of ceremonies, Ken Shanks, interfraternity coordinator, will introduce new students to administrative heads, faculty members, and student leaders.
Rose Bowl Game A motion picture in color and sound of the 1953 P^ose Bowl game will be shown for the freshman and transfer students.
Of special importance this year, according to Gonzales, is the orienting “Big Brother” program. Sponsored by the Squires and Knights, each new student taking part in the program will be assigned a “big brother.”
Fashion Show The female counterpart of the Knight program may be found at the Spur sponsored fashion show, according to its president, Maureen McMasters. Aptly called the “Big Sister” program, its design approximates that of the Squire-Knight endeavor, but from a "more feminine approach,” she said.
The AWS show is open to all transfer students as well as freshmen.

No Hell Week ATO Pledges Go To Church
Fourteen pledges of the Alpha [Tau Omega fraternity donated I their time last week to do general repair work at University Metho- [ dist church, according to the pas-[tor, Wendell L. Miller.
Rev. Miller, in a message to h>s .
I congregation, said, “I have b„*en at this church 17 years and this j is the first time I have ever seen j such a generous use of time and i talent by members of the Row.” He said the pledges, who sang j while they worked, washed windows and woodwork and painted.
“The idea developed three years ago at Indiana State university,” said ATO President Roy Signer.
“After years of fraternal hazing known as “Hell week,” an ATO at Indiana decided the week prior to initiation into the fraternity should be dedicated to helping others instead of hazing and occasionally injuring pledges,” Signer said.
By dropping an “1” and adding a “p’ the “Hell week” became “Help week.”
Pledges who worked at the church were Jerry Blafikinship. Harry Born, Bill Coleman, Wayne Dewhirst, Curt Fenton, £>ick Hamilton, Dave Klopp. Bob Mc-Callister, Ted Neel. Ed Roletti, Chuck Sederling. Tony Santine, Don Thornlon, and Chuck Wadsworth.

New Bachelors Degree Out;0nly2300
BB Ducats Left
A.new bachelor of science degree in law, approved by the university, is being offered to students in the School of Law upon completion of four years of study.

God Best Adviser Woods Tells Fellowship
It is a sin for a Christian to de- j cide for himself on his career, sin for him to fall in love with whomever he wants, and to: choose his own friends. Christians j have no right to do any of these j things by themselves, but they j should ask the Lord what He wants.
These were some of the beliefs ‘ expressed by Stacey Woods, general secretary of the Intervarsity j Christian Fellowship, "to more than 250 Fellowship members in Hancock auditorium Friday night.
‘Through prayer, circumstance, and learning from the scripture, a Christian can discern God's will for his life.” Woods said.
It was also Wood's belief that recognition of .lesus Christ as Lord is a requisite to salvation. He told the college «• idience many Christians beiiece that if they only accept Christ a^. their sin bearer they will have the Savior. He believes, however, that
although this acceptance is essential. it alone will not guarantee salvation.
He decried the “false ideas” of those Christians who think that if they only believe they will be saved; of those who believe that going to church is enough: and of those who believe lighting candles at the altar is all there is to salvation.
Must Recognize Christ “Salvation can never be ours unless we recognize the Lordship of Christ,’- Woods said. “It is imperative to give Him our love and obedience.”
“Because of who Christ is, the eternal son of God. He is our Lord." Woods said. “But we should also look for what Christ has done in time and eteiyiity.” “He is Lord by virtue of the fact that He is the creater of the universe; He is Lord by virtue of His victory over the devil; and He is Lord by virtue of the fact
that He purchased us—bought us back with His blood.”
To accent that man belongs to Christ, Woods gave an example of a boy who built a ship which got lost in the ocean. A few months later the boy saw his ship in a store window around the shipyards and bought it back.
“You are mine twice, he said to the ship. I made you and I bought you.”
Christ won out over Satan at His resurrection when He broke the power of death. Woods said.
Kiss Required Woods said a person has to “kiss the Son” to recognize the Lordship of Christ.
“By the name of Jesus every knee should bow,” he said.
“Submission to Christ, having Him dwell in your heart by faith, tends to exercise His Lordship in you and me,” Woods said. “This submission must exist in all relations of life.”
unable to possess anything. According to Woods, man is “We own nothing apart from God,” Woods said. “All is of God, by God, and for God in His divine essence.”
If man concerns himself too much with the wisdom of the world. Woods said, he is denying God's will.
“We can make a god of education and miss God s best,” Woods said.
Quotes Tennyson
He quoted from Alfred Lord Tennyson's “Charge of the Light Brigade.”
“There’s not to reason why, there’s but to do and die. . .”
It is Woods belief that predestination in Christianity is to become like Christ, to conform to His image.
“There should be. an increase of Christ in the person, and this spiritual progress should come day by day,” he said.
it will not entitle a student to take the state bar examination, SC officials pointed out.
The new degree was approved at the request of “2-4” plan students who wanted to have both a regular college diploma and a law degree at the end of their six years of study.
For Good Students
The “2-4” program was established to enable outstanding students to enter law school after only two years of college work instead of the usual four. Law students no longer are required to be college graduates before they are admitted to law school.
To obtain the new degree in addition to the bachelor of laws degree, students must complete 65 credits of non-legal college work which regularly would satisfy the lower division requirements of one of the undergraduate schools.
School of Law Offers Night Classes in Fall
Applications for admittance into fall semester evening law classes are now being taken, according to Robert Kingsley, dean of the School of Law.
College graduates unable to attend regular day classes are eligible. The night program leads to a degree of bachelor of law in four years and permission to take the state bar examination.
Next national law school entrance examination will be given Feb. 21.

IFC to Hear Funds Plea

May Have Implications
by George Lasezkay
The recent decision of President Eisenhower calling for removal of the U. S. 7th Fleet from protecting the Chinese mainland is “good psychological warfare, but may have implications which extend well beyond the Far East,” according to Dr. Rodger Swearingen, assistant professor of international relations.
“This may prove an opportune moment while the Soviet Union is apparently experiencing new internal troubles as evidenced by the recent purges, to pull this surprise,” Dr. Swearingen said. “It should have the effect of putting the Russians on the defensive.” Up to this time the Russians have enjoyed the benefits of an announced plan for the United Nations’ conduct of the Korean war, he said. “It probably is an advantage to the free nations that the Russians no longer can be certain of future moves.”
Policy Needed Unless, however, this new turn of events in the Far East is followed up by an effective policy, all may not end well, Dr. Swearingen said.
“A two-pronged effect may be the result. On the credit side, this new policy may have the psychological benefit of encouraging opposition to Communism in the Far East among those who would like to resist the inroads of such a philosophy. The debit side might see an increase in apprehension over this step by the United States on the part of India, France, and Britain,” Dr. Swearingen said.
It is highly doubtful that Chi-ang Kai-shek can take immediate advantage of this newly-created opportunity to storm the Chinese mainland. Dr. Swearingen said, and it is yet more doubtful he has enough front-line combat soldiers or equipment to make a successful full-scale invasion.
“It is conceivable that the move may, however, force the Chinese Communists to re-deploy some of the forces now in Korea, to the south.”
Britain and France are concerned, he said, because they think this move by the United States may enlarge the war in the Far East. The British feel a growing concern over the fate of the crown colony of Hong Kon", and the French are apprehensive of a renewed and more vigorous Communist battle campaign in Indo-China.
Blockade Possible
A recent statement made by Adm. Arthur W. Radford, commander of the U. S. Pacific Fleet, to the effect that President Eisenhower is considering the possibility of a naval blockade of the Red China coast, is as yet “difficult to evaluate,” he said.
The decision regarding Formosa plus the statement on the possibility of a naval blockade, make it clear, however, that the new administration has, indeed, embarked upon the promised "positive foreign policy” designed to keep the Communists guessing, he said.
