VELERO IV, SC's floating laboratory, is the successor to Velero III, which was used by Dr. John S. Garth, associate professor of biology,
1938 EXPEDITION
in his 1938-39 expedition into South America. The Velero III was taken over by the Navy in 1942 for wartime coastal patrol use.
Film ot Velero Trip to Be Seen
Motion picture highlights of the 1938-1939 Hancock expedition to South America will be shown tonight at 8 ' in Hancock auditorium.
The film, “From Clarion to Chimborazo,” is in color. Dr. John S. Garth, associate professor of biology, will give a running commentary to the film, and has arranged a display of South American native weanons and cultural objects.
The expedition started from Clarion island, 600 miles off the west coast of Mexico, proceeded through Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, the Galapagos, ard down into Ecuador.
The expedition spent much of its time around Mt. Chimborazo, which at 23,000 feet, is the highest mountain in the southern Andes. It chose Riobambo as an operational base. The village, sitting at the 9000 foot level, is the home of the Quechua Indians, descendants of the ancient Inca tribes.
Southern California Climate, Scenery
Dr. Garth said in an interview yesterday that the climate and scenery of this region are like that of Southern California in the springtime.
The Quechuas are a musically inclined people. They make a reed flute which produces a weird, shrill music, but the strange thing, Dr. Garth said, is that the flute is identical to hohe used by ancient Egyptians, and the two civilizations grew up independently of each other.
These Indians are experts in the art of weaving baskets, and have learned to weave baskets from wheat straw which are capable of holding water.
Tht colorful marketplace, with Indians in their native coSTOmes, and llamas, the camels of the Andes, are all recorded on the film.
From Riobambo, the expedition moved over to the headwaters of the Amazon river, and brought back from the headhunting Jivaro tribe delicate, iridescent-colored earrings made from the wings of beetles and decorated with feathers of the toucan. It also brought back a 10-foot spear with a metal point.
Metal Work Unknown Among Natives
Metal work among the Indians of this region is unknown, and it is thought that natives acquired the spear head by trading with early bands of Spanish explorers.
Dr. Garth has seen examples of weapons made from tempered copper by the Incas but explained that the art is lost today. The Indians have forgotten how and he white man never learned.
In the coastal regions of northern Ecuador and southern Columbia. Dr. Garth found among the Cayapa tribes there, highly decorated weapons for hunting and fighting. He will also put these on display.
The bow and arrows are unusual. The bow is covered with hides of the ocelot and other fur animals, and has a grip made from snakeskin. The arrows are hard wood, rather heavy, and have no feathers. A hollow wooden tube, fixed to the grip of the bow, steers the arrow on its way.
Realistic Pictures of a Seine in Use
In Port Parker, Costa Cica, Dr. Garth took some excellent pictures of natives using a beach seine. The seine is a net 100 feet long and 8 feet deep. It has lead weights on the bottom and cork floats around the top. One native rows out with the seine and pays it out as he goes, Dr. Garth explained. Another worker on the beach, anchors one end. The boat makes a small circle back to the beach and both men pull the seine with its trapped fish out onto the beach.
Dr. Garth had a strange beginning in the field of marine biology. In 1931 he was a senior in the School of Music at SC. Captain Hancock, who plays the cello, asked the head of the music department to find an interested student to go along on an expedition. Dr. Garth volun teered.
The Velero III was used by the foundation until 1942. The Navy took it over that year and used it for coastal patrol off California and Hawaii. An oil syndicate bought it after the war, spent $1,000,000 fitting it over, and presented it to the Sultan of Kuwait in the Persian gulf area.
The Velero IV came into ose in 1948.
Debate Squad In Local Meet
SC’s debate squad faces its toughest competition of the year this weekend when it meets more than 30 other schools in the Pi Kappa Delta, national speech fraternity tournament at Pepperdine, according to Dale Drum, assistant debate coach.

ENGINEERS RAISE FACE CROPS FOR CELEBRATION
Gillette will be frantic, young maids will flee in distress—the Engineering School quit shaving today.
Engineers start a beard growing contest today in preparation for the annual Engineer’s week which starts next Monday and those who won’t cooperate must pay a penalty. This will be hard on pink-cheeked freshmen who just simply can’t.
An engineer who can’t break that shaving habit may buy a ciean-shave kit at the table outside of engineering building, but it will coat a dime. That’s for this week only.
Next week, the week of the celebration, similar chits will cost a quarter.
The same table which sells the clean-shave chits will also register those persons who want to participate in coming events in all their hairy glory. The table will be open from 9 a.m. to
S p.m.
By next week, the engineers will have a queen to judge the bearded ones and beards will be judged on the baaig ot quality and quantity.
For a reason no one in the Sohool of Engineering knows, St. Patrick is the patron of the school. The library could throw no light on the subject, and lt Is not even known whether the good man shaved or not.

U.S.' Says Rus s' Plot Reprisal
SC’s Security Council delegates, Ann Rush and Mohinder Bedi, to the Model United Nations at the University of California Apr. 15-19, are expecting two main attacks from the Soviet quarter.
One of these attacks will be the germ " warfare charge which Russia has accused the United States of practicing in Korea. The second charge will be that the U.S. is delaying Korean peace.
The germ warfare charge was brought forward in last year’s session of the real United Nations by Jacob Malik to counter the Western bloc’s charge that Russia was responsible for the Katyn forest massacre.
More than 7000 Polish officers were found machine-gunned and buried in a huge, bulldozer-made trench in the Katyn forest by the German High command during the early years of World War II.
Germans Disbelieved
The Germans notified the allied world of their finding through Swiss intermediaries, but the allied powers did not pay much attention to the news. It was presumed that the Germans had prefabricated the finding to create dissension among the allied powers.
If the Polish officers had been murdered then Russia would be implicated in a very grave way, because the Polish army had surrendered itself en masse to USSR shortly after the outbreak of World War II hostilities.
A great part of this army has never been heard of since except through the Katyn forest revelation, and talk filtering out of Siberia that Polish ex-soldiers are being used there as slave labor.
“Russia has no real defense against the Katyn massacre charge,” said Bedi, “so we will reiterate this charge in the Security council and by so doing we will take the offensive.”
Germ Warfare
To combat the germ warfare charge directy, we will assume Henry Cabot Lodge’s, U.S. Security council delegate, counter-demanding that Russia show specific proof that UN forces have employed germ warfare, he said.
“Soviet charges of germ warfare are merely a cover for armed support that Russia gives the North Koreans, and the North Korean peace camp reminds me of a dove sitting on a 155 mm howitzer,” said Miss Rush.
The North Korean peace camp, which is supposed to be a zone of non-aggression and recognized as such by both sides, has attained singular prominence in the news of late.
UN flyers are complaining that it is from this red “neutral” zone that the heaviest North Korean anti-aircraft fire is coming, and the greatest war material build-up is taking place.
Gross Violations Such gross violations of the Korean truce code will be the basis for our refutation of the Russian charge that the U.S. is holding up a peaceful settlement of the Korean “police action,” said Bedi.
“We shall show that the North Koreans have been intransigent to repeated peace proposals and that they are merely tools of Soviet agressive design in the Far East,” said Bedi.
Nations comprising the Security council are Nationalist China, France, USSR, United Kingdom, and the United States as permanent members. Columbia, Chile, Denmark, Greece, Lebanon, and Pakistan are temporary members.
Bedi, who played USSR’s Malik last year in the Security council, said that this year’s delegates would set up a display of pictures and material from last year’s session so that students may get an idea of how the Model UN works.
Miss Rush and Bedi will represent the U.S. in the council this year.
