Engineers Build Giant Slide Rule
by Stan Kiefer
If you happen to be taking a stroll through the campus today and suddenly find yourself confronted with a seven foot slide rule rolling down the street, there’s no reason to
become excited or upset.
Hadley Tells Reasons for atin Reds
By making Latin America aware its poverty, the United States helped Russia to breed Com-mism in Latin America, according Dr. Paul E. Hadley, assistant afessor of intemation relations. •Communism in Latin America” 5 the topic of Dr. Hadley's speech tfcrday at a meeting of the Inter-ltural club, he U.S. made the people of Lat-America aware of their low stan-rd of living by radio and motion ;tures and the Soviet took ad-ltage of the situation that was gated, he said.
Movies Backfire idlev cited Guatamala as an ex-iple. During the war the U.S.
motion pictures to that area picting life here and contrasting vo life in Germany.
These pictures were attempting turn the people against the Nazis, jt instead brought on the first solution in Guatamalan history in 14.
After the revolution a professor s elected president and since that :e the country has swung grad-llv toward Communism. “We
lught them discontent,” said Had-
Breeds Resentment
Communism will also breed where .here is resentment against capit-??!;sm and the capitalist state, said Hadley. This has been the case in Larin America since the days of Dollar Diplomacy, and Communism has used the resentment in Latin America, saying the U.S. wishes to keep the Latin Americans oppressed snd in poverty, he pointed out. Nationalism is another way of reeding Communism, according to id ley. Great emphasis is put on nationalism by Communists as they :ell the people that their independence from the U.S. must be assert'd. Then the Communists attempt take over, he said.
Catholicism a Deterrent One of the greatest deterrants to ommunism in Latin and South nerica is the Roman-Catholic mrch. related Hadley. It is strong-st among the poor people, the peo-le who are most susceptible to mmv.nism. the IR professor jointed out.
Argentina is the closest country o Communism among the dictator-iios of the area. Hadley said.
“The dictators themselves are )ulv arks against Communism, es-:ecialiy il they are benevolent dic-Ltors," he said.
The best way to combat Com-lunism in Latin America is to do Knething about the causes that reed the ideas. Hadley pointed out. his means monetary aid by the .S.. but this monetary aid must » pugmented by US “know-ledge nd know-how,” said Hadley. Educational facilities, and par-cuiarly vocational schools, agri-ure missions to teach the people ut the latest in machinery and conduct soil experiments, and Jth and sanitation work v.ill be b3St way to spend U.S. dollars, said. Such action is the greatest against Communism, con-:luded Hadley.
The radio-controlled slide rule is one of the features of the School of Engineering open house which will be held today jrom 2 to 10 p.m.
Over 50 exhibits of the latest creations of engineering from the departments of petroleum, mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil, and general engineering will be on display.
Controlled from Car
The slide rule which might have caused you some fright is mounted on three wheels and controlled from a car that is driven one-half block behind.
Impulses sent from a radio within the car direct the moving slide rule.
And if you aren’t interested in radio-directed seven-foot slide rules, then maybe a display and explanation of color television will hold your interest.
Color Television
A moving color wheel which contains six colors, moves at a speed of 1800 r.p.m. and is synchronized with a similar smaller wheel attached to the television camera as the basis of color television.
For persons who hate to watch the clock drag slowly around the 12-hour cycle, the electronic clock will answer many a wish.
This clock contains 1300 tubes and at the same time has no moving parts. It can be speeded up to such an extent that the day will figuratively fly by.
High Voltage
Then if you have ever had a desire to see l1? million volts of electricity jump through air. a demonstration of the Tesla coil will be of interest.
If you are interested in looking for oil one of these days, scale models of oil wells and drilling equipment might give you a few ideas.
Models Shown
Then there are models of the new freeway system .and exhibition of tne “pinging" of gasoline engines being run on different types of fuel, a demonstration on the behavior of water flowing over dams, and one of the erosion process.
Tours of the laboratories and ex-'libits will start at the entrance of the Engine? ring building, S20 West 36th place, and guided tours will proceed every few minutes through-cut the day.

Education of the world’s peoples and the offering to all of opportunity for full enjoyment of human rights are phases of UN activities that are less spectacular than the political activities, Benjamin Cohen, assistant secretary general of UN, said, but they promise to lead to stable and friendly relations among all peoples.
The Chilean, who was interviewed by the DT after his arrival in Los Angeles yesterday morning, will speak at the plenary session of the Model UN general assembly in Bovard tomorrow morning.
Department Head Cohen has had an extensive background in world politics. He is one of the eight assistant sec-retary-generals in the world organization. He likened the eight to a loosely organized cabinet. Public ! relations for the organization is the responsibility of his department.
Future responsibilities of the young people of the world will re-j quire familiarity with the operation of the world organizations, Cohen said.
“The importance of the Model UN cannot be stressed too much,” the UN public relations head said. “It affords young people an opportunity to realize what the organization is for, and how it really ’ operates.
‘Justice for Everyone’
“I am interested in youth because they already are living in a different world than before the second world war—a world that is now being transformed into new forms of world cooperation and collective security based on social and economic justice for everyone.” he stated.
The function of the UN, ‘‘giving of opportunity to all people for j full enjoyment of human rights and of all of the great advances brought by science and technol-! ogy.” was considered very important by Cohen.
“We can further industrial and agricultural development; better I educational facilities; raise standards of health; and achieve social progress in the larger freedoms everywhere,” the official said. The UN charter provides for these programs.
Not Spectacular
“This phase of UN action is much less spectacular than political maneuvering but is one that will, some day. remove most causes of friction and conflict, thereby creating conditions for international cooperation that will lead to stable patterns of friendly and pacific relations among all peoples,” the UN official- concluded.
Commenting on the attitude of the people of the Western United States, Cohen said. “The people i here look on the Pacific area as one of close relationships, especially with the countries to the south. In California you have a cultural heritage which makes fertile soil in which to plant the seeds of better international understanding”
30-Year Friendship The meaning of this was brought out very clearly when Cohen expressed his gratification at seeing that SC was under the wise “leadership of that wise educator, Chancellor Rufus#B. von KleinSmid— whom I met in Chile over 30 veal's ago.”
TYPICAL DELEGATES TO SC's Model UN meetings are these students from John Muir college in Pasadena. The Muir delegation will represent Turkey, latest supporter of the North Atlantic Treaty organization, at the
conference. Registration of delegates is planned today and sessions will start tomorrow. Seated from left are Sheila Murphy, Elizabeth Hall, and Betty Boyd. Standing are Greg Esgate, Don Campbell.
Alaska and Hawaii Groups Due Today
Nearly 1000 delegates from 73 campuses in seven western states and Hawaii and Alaska are converging at SC today to register for the Model United Nations conference which will be held here the rest of the week.
The second annual world organization miniature will follow in detail the procedures of actual UN meetings. Each school will represent a different country, the delegates being faced with the difficult problem of acting, even thinking, like their counterparts from all over the world The opinions they express will faithfully reflect the attitudes of the countries represented.
Hope for a successful conference was received yesterday by D. Jerome Harris, conference director, in a telegram from Dr. Ralph Bunche, president of the UN Trusteeship council and main speaker at the first Model UN conference held at Stanford last year.
Bunche Wires
Dr. Bunche wired:
“The first Model UN conference at Stanford last year was an inspiring event. I treasure the memory of it as one of my most interesting and useful experiences of this kind. I am happy to extend warmest greetings to the second conference and trust that it will be even more successful than the first. A real service is rendered to the UN and the course of world peace and freedom by these conferences. I wish you great success.”
Meetings of the General Assembly, Security council, Economic and Social council, Trusteeship council, and Political and Security committee will be held tomorrow and Friday.
A short Security council session and an all-afternoon meeting of the General Assemoly will be held Saturday, the closing day of the conference.
Today delegates will register in the International lounge, on the west side of the student

Blue Key to Probe Student Opinion of Administration
Do students feel the university is run purely for monetary reasons? Is the high cost of activity books and the resultant low sales a contributing factor to the lack of student interest in student functions? Are students taking advantage of the vocational aptitude tests at $25 per? If not, wiiy not?
These and many other questions will be discussed this evening at a town-hall type Blue Key meeting at the Sigma Nu house. Chimes, junior women’s service and schol-
astic honorary society, women members of the ASSC Senate, and members of the faculty also will participate.
‘ What is Right and What is Wrong with the Administration?” | will be the theme of the meeting j wiiich will attempt to bring out the basis for .some of the opinions which students have regarding the administration.
Doug Morgan, president of Blue Key. said that among the problems to be discussed is that some
Political Science Graduate Professor Receive Grants
An SC professor and an SC graduate student have been awarded fellowships from the Fund for the Advancement of Education for the academic year 1952-53. according to the Committee on Faculty Fellowships.
Dr. Lowell G.' Noonan, assistant professor of political science, and Donald H. Scott, Ph.D. candidate in political science, are the recipients of the fellowships.
This year’s grants, which total approximately $1,400,000. are being made as part of the funds program aimed at strengthening liberal education in American colleges.
The awards are a continuation of the fund’s faculty fellowship program which was started last year shortly after the fund was created by the Ford foundation.
Dr. Noonan js receiving a $5300 fellowship while Scott will be given a $6700 fellowship for research in Latin America.
Selections were made by the Committee on Faculty Fellowships from a total of 1158 applications. Dr. Nconan and Scott were chosen along with 246 others.
Scott is an instructor in Spanish at Long Beach City college as well i as a graduate student at SC.
students feel the school is only financially interested in them.
“We hope to find out whether or not this is a real feeling or just an imagined one.” Morgan said. “If it is not imagined, then we hope to get at the basis of the feeling.”
“This meeting,” said Morgan, “is one of many in which Blue Key has been endeavoring to help solve campus problems.”
In recent meetings the lack of student interest in student affairs and the dearth of graduate interest in school functions have been probed.
“Blue Key feels there is a definite lack of esprit-de-corps among students of this university. The reasons should be found ana corrected,” Morgan added.
In behalf of Blue Key, a motion recently was made and passed in the Senate asking fcr a one-unit course in orientaticn be required of all students.
The object of this course would be to give each student a thorough grounding in the work of student organizations, work of graduates, scholastic opportunities offered, the financial setup and operations 0f the university, the history of the university, and extra-curricular activities.	.
Morgan will reintroduce this motion, with some •’.dditions. at the next meeting.
lounge, from 4 to 11 p.m.

Combo to Play
Ed Lloyd and his combo will play for dancing after the program is completed.
The SC delegation was readying itself to give the United Nations the usual hard time in its portrayal of Russia. They met yesterday with delegates from New Mexico Highlands university, portraying the Ukraine, to brief them on a coordinated stand to be taken in UN sessions.
The 12 Ukrainian delegates, led by Joe Tockman and accompanied by their faculty sponsor Dr. Charles D. Kinney, arrived early yesterday.
Realistic Attitude
“We discussed means of presenting a realistic Soviet attitude,” said Jim Ivanoff, who heads the SC delegation. Ivanoff, an IR major, specializing in Russian and Far Eastern studies. Instructed Russians in U.S. Navy methods during World War II, and served as a War department linguist during conferences on the establishment of the 38th parallel in Korea.

Nadia Islyin, of Rusian descent, once worked f©r IRO (International Refugees organization of the UN>. Mary Webster and Elva Soper are IR majors and IR council members. James A. Walper, bearded philosophy major, is another Russ delegate.
by United Press Sen. Robert A. Taft staged a comeback to win the Wisconsin primaries yesterday and was running a close second to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in early ; returns from Nebraska.
With two-thirds of the Wisconsin precincts reporting it was Taft, 155,000: Warren. 109,000;' and Stassen, 83,000. Sen. Estes Kefauver won the Democratic race handily. Senator Taft still did not hold a lead over the combined totals of his opponents, however.
In Nebraska, with 145 out ot 2039 precincts reporting, Eisenhower led Taft in a write-in campaign, 3370 to 2945. Kefauver had a good lead for the Democratic nomination. A complicated ballot slowed election return reports.
I Tired SC Cars Get No Rest
SC's parking problems have grown temporarily worse due to j the state's construction of n e w parking lots m Exposition pe.rk, west of the Coliseum. The con-i struction has eliminated an old | parking area for the time being.
