This boils down the report on the composition of strata underneath SC’s fertilized turf after the sinking of a test shaft yesterday.
Casings, filled with soil and sand during the early drilling operations, showed rocky layers in the lower depths.
Following the shift of the mobile drilling rig to a new 36th street site, field engineer Fred Barnes and driller crewmen were promptly surrounded by collegiate kibitzers at 11 a.m.
Workmen showed concern for SC shrubbery, transplanting a small red-berried bush that was in the way.
“Going through the last 39 feet or so isn’t so bad,” one worker commented, “but starting through that first half-inch is a stinking job.”

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5—(U.P)— President Truman flung down the gauntlet to southern Democratic congressmen today by repeating in full this demands for the Civil Rights legislation that touched off last year’s “Dixiecrat" revolt.
The southerners immediately took up the challenge.
In his State of the Union message Mr. Truman Wasted the hopes of numerous Democrats who expected him at least to soft-pedal part of his disputed program in the interests of party harmony.
But the Missourian, who won a surprise election victory without the electoral votes of four “solid south” states, told the lawmakers without qualification:
“The Civil Rights proposals I made to the 80th Congress I now repeat to the 81st Congress.
“I stand squarely behind those proposals.”
His punch line got a cold reception. After a thin rattle of scattered handclaps there was thick sil-cnce.
Rep. Joseph R. Bryson, D., S.C , told reporters the southerners ‘‘will fight it to the last ditch.”
The Interfraternity council will | consider possible revision of frater-. nity rushing procedures at its bimonthly meeting this afternoon at | 5 at the Sig Ep house.
Proposed recommendations sub-! miued to the council by rush com-) mittee chairman Calvin Schmidt I call for the limiting of rushing each semester to four weeks. This does I not include the informal summer tapping period.
One revision aimed to inform rushees of their status among the fraternities would require the-chair -I man of each house to turn in a list of men not passed by that house to the counselor of men’s I office. This information would be kept by the counselor and made known only to the rushee.
The committee's report also allows for open houses, probably at the beginning of rushing, for all men interested in pledging a house.
Included in the recommendations is a plan for the issuance of rush manuals containing the cost and time of pledging, list of social events, and other fraternity information.

Jewish Raiders Enter Egypt
TEL AVIV, Israel, Jan. 5—Lsraeli troops have penetrated 60 miles into Egypt, carried out extensive demolitions, captured a quantity of war material and have withdrawn to Palestine after three days, an Israeli spokesman said tonight.
The drive carried Israeli forces within 70 miles of the Suez canal. Britain’s lifeline to southeast Asia and Australia.
Berlin Club Bars CIs
BERLIN. Jan. 5—Harnack house, a fashionable American officers and civilians club in Berlin, today barred enlisted men as guests.
German girls still are accepted.
The decision came after a heated meeting last night in which an officer-led faction outvoted the civilian group. 135 to 106.
Solon Offers Finance Remedy
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 5—An attempt to keep the state from ever again getting into financial snarls like those caused by passage of the new’ aged and blind pension program wras under way in the State Senate tonight.

I economics concerning the presi-j dent's State of the Union address to Congress.
Sprinkling their statements with many words of the “probably” and “perhaps” category, the fiscal experts ventured some comments, but asked to be quoted as a group rather than individually.
NEED CONTROL
Control of inflation, not a necessity for revenue, is the need that prompted the president to ask for legislation to bring in an additional $4 million in taxes, the local authorities believe. The intention of obtaining the money by increasing corporate, estate, gift, and middle and upper-bracket income taxes is consistent with New Deal
policy, they said.
“The presioent himself has utilized the Taft-Hartley act several times to stop strikes,” one of the ! faculty members remarked.
The professors agreed that price j control on scarce commodities re- j quested by Truman was impract- j ical.
•'Partial price control inevitably evolves into complete price con- I trol.” they maintained.
PROFESSORS RELUCTANT
The professors were reluctant to ! take sides in the state vs. federal Kovernment tidelands controversy. One of them, however, expressed the ooinion that since the states ] own the high-low tide land—the area submerged by high tides and exposed at low tide—the federal government might encounter difficulty in operating in tne disputed areas even though their ownership was in federal hands, as President
Truman advocates.
Vet Benefits Good to End
Veterans whose eligibility for GI Bill educational benefits runs out in the middle of a semester need not worry.
According to L. C. Chapman, manager of the Los Angeles VA Regional office, veterans completing at least half a semester will be paid by the government for the remaining time. In addition, the veteran will receive subsistence allow-andce for the balance of the semester.
Veterans wishing to transfer to another school at the end of the winter semester are reminded to give the Veterans Administration 30 days notice before they make the change.
WThen enrolling in a new school the veteran not only must have a supplementary certificate of eligibility but also a statement from his school showing satisfactory progress.
This supplementary certificate may be obtained by applying to the VA regional office where the veteran's records are on file. Veterans from other parts of the country who wish to enter training in this area should apply immediately to the nearest VA office for the transfer of their records.

Civil Rightists Hit Red Baiters
Red baiting is nothing new.
That period in our history preceding the election of President Jefferson in which everyone who held an unorthodox opinion was dubbed Jacobin and hence an agent of a foreign power was very similar to our own.
These statements were made by A. A. Heist, executive director, American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, yesterday in a discus ion sponsored by the Council of Religion and Council on Atomic Implications.
Reviewing the work of his organization on behalf of conscientious objectors, atheists, communists and others, he declared, “There is no use in talking about free speech or any of the other rights unless we are willing to grant these rights to those wiio are diameti-caliy opposed to us.”
The steady encroachment of the military in the universities and the denial of civil- liberties are to be deplored said Glenn Smiley, regional director, Fellowship of Reconciliation. “The millions being poured into the universities in ROTC and j Naval Reserve units make the uni- | versities loath to question the or-

Phi Beta Phi will be open to political science majors with a 2. grade average in six or more units of political science. It hopes eventually to have a house on campus.

It wasn't a happy New Year for Trojan Gridder Gene Beck and his wife Barbara. Wrhen they came .home early New Year's morning they found their small apartment and all their belongings destroyed by fire. They had no insurance.
College life without a home, clothes, and other little necessaries is pretty discouraging, so the Greater University committee is starting its drive tcd^y ro lend the Becks a hand.
