Danceband Switch In Winter Carnival

Baxter to Tell Roles of War II Student Vets
The sharp distinction between student veterans of World Wars I and II is expected to be highlighted today when Dr. Frank C. Baxter, profe.-sor of English, speaks on “Contributions of the Student Veteran to Campus Life,” at 3:15 this afternoon in 101 Harris hall.
Dr. Baxter points out that the public's attitude toward veterans today is much more favorable than it was following the first World War.
In the years following 1918 veterans were given little consideration and were regarded as “nuisances” when they returned to civilian life, says Dr. Baxter. The English professor was a veteran college student himself following his discharge from the Army Medical Corps after World War I.
Trovets, SC veterans organization, will hold a reception in the Student lounge following Dr. Baxter's speech. All members are invited.
Also nominated at the last meeting were Phi Delta Theta Bill Adams and Delta Sigma Phi Ohuce Jones for vice-president; Sigma Alpha Epsilon Calvin Schmidt, fcr secretary; and Pi Lambda Phi Dave Moscowitz, for treasurer.

powers with school councils in the determination of eligibility require-: ments for their officers.
Frustrated by this development, Padgett recommended an amendment to the ASSC constitution that would prohibit the previous service | requirement for eligibility to the presidency in school councils.
SERVICE ESSENTIAL Jack Silverstein, president of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, defended the previous service requirement as essential to the efficiency of a school council.
According to constitutional provisions, debate on a proposed ' amendment is limited to two three-minute speeches on the night it is introduced and the issue closed here. It will be brought up for general discussion at the next meeting.
Along the same line a proposed by-law was introduced by James A. i Bennett, president of the School of Pharmacy. This by-law would give the Senate the right to approve amendments to existing school con-j stitution.
The Senate has the implied right | to pass on these amendments now, but the proposed by-law would clarify and strengthen the constitution on this point. The by-law will also be discussed at the next | meeting.
Plans for the further development of a new sport-, attracting 100,000 | spectators, financed by a $50,000 ! income, was envisioned by Bill Bird, president of the Southern Cali-j fornia Crew association and enthu-; siast Dr. Russell L. Caldwell, assistant professor of history.

CORVALLIS. Ore., Feb. 28—(U.R) —Dr. A. I. Strand, president of Oregon State college who recently said he would not renew the contracts of two professors, tonight declared both hac’ “chrccn to follow the Crr_tnunist party line.”
The professors were Dr. R-.lph Spitzer, associate professor of chemistry and L. R. L;.vallc: assistant professor of economics. i_^th said they were denied teachmg contracts because of membership in the Progressive party.
Strand explained his position before a meeting of the entire college staff.
He said he had not changed his position on termination of the contracts since the two professors were on yearly tenure. “They have been
given timely notice and under such circumstances it is unnecessary to show cause
“It, seemed desirable,” he said “to p.oduce evidence in the case of Dr. Spitzer,” whom he said, “had les: the freedom that an instructor ‘■hcu’d po sess by choosing to follow the Communist party line : gainst scientific fact.
Strand charged Spitzer as a science teacher had upheld the “Char- ' iatan Lysenko” against the leadmg world geneticists in a letter appearing in the Jan. 31 edition of the Chemical and Engineering News.
“The Communist party in Russia,” Strand said, “has banned the classical school of genetics of Mendel, Weismann, and Morgan and followed Lysenko who taught that |
acquired characteristics can be inherited.
“Taken by itself. Dr. Spitzer’s letter in behalf of a completely discredited effort on the part of the Soviet government to subjugate science to its own political ends might be excused as an unfortunate mistake in judgement.
“But taken along with his pro-Soviet propaganda, the letter i3 shown in its true light and its import cannot be overlooked.”
Asked why a chemist should bother to stir up a controversy in the field of genetics. Strand said:
“I can tell you. It is because he goes right down the party line without any noticeable deviation and is an active protagonist for it.”
