$12,000 Endowment Assures Scholarship
Outgoing president of Trovets, Andy Weber, issued his final report for the fall semester yesterday and stated that th^e funds now accumulated in the Living War Memorial fund amount to approximately $12,000 with the scholarship due to go into effect next September.
Present tally for this semester’s LWM drive is $2154.89, according to Weber, with a substantial contribution expected soon from Lockheed Aircraft’s “Buck-a-Month” charitable organization.
LWM Scholarship io Begin in Fall
To date total contributions to the LWM fund this semester are as follows: table collections, $174.79; mail, $287.00; members of Trovets, $19.32; classroom collections, $852.96; Dr, Frank C. Baxter’s Christmas readings, $552.21; organizations, $29.19; containers, $67.17; faculty, $72.25.
Returns were audited by Beta Alpha Psi, accounting fraternity. Not all contributions of faculty and Trovet members are represented in their category since collections and containers, included money from everyone.
According to the original requirements when the LWM fund was initiated in 1948, the scholarship was to become effective when funds had reached $10,000. Now that that mark has been met and passed the Trovets are ready to begin the operation of the memorial scholarship in the fall of 1952.
Trovet Elections To Be Held Tomorrdw
Recipients of the scholarship will receive $300 per semester for eight consecutive semesters to be used toward tuition and books. A 1.5 grade point must be maintained.
Outgoing President Weber stated that elections for next term’s Trovet officers would be held tomorrow at 12 in Founders hall. Officers for next semesters LWM drive will then be chosen. However, Weber added, Frank Ford will remain as general chairman. The Trovets plan to present Ford with a plaque at the Thursday meeting for his work in connection with LWM.

Fall of French Qovt. Not Surprising

government of France has fallen.
What will be the repercussions? How will the international scene be affected by the unsteadiness of the government?
Dr. Carlton C. Rodee, professor of political science, does not think
There are three forces in the French National assembly. First force is the Communist, politically far tc the left; the second force is the DeGaullists, extreme rignt.
The third force is made up of the Socialists, the Radical Social-

it must come from the political middle, or third force,” explained
The third force again will attempt to adopt a government and move to get more support from the moderate right wing.
“It is almost an insoluble problem. In fact, I think it is remarkable the third force has been able to govern France for five years,” Rodee said.
Won’t Affect U. S.
“I do not think it will affect the French foreign policy, their feelings toward the United States, or their position on the North Atlantic treaty organization or the European army,” he said.
Rodee feels the greatest problem
the new government will face if it is to stay in power will be the job of satisfying both the Socialists and the moderate right parties.
As for the threat of Communism, Rodee thinks it still is a danger, but points out the Communists have lost a little strength in both the National assembly and in municipal elections.
The trend in French political thinking tends toward the right and the DeGaulle movement, but Rodee cannot see a coalition that vould bring in the DeGaullists.
French political thinkers of the moderate right are afraid of De-Gaulle, who desires to regiment business <md rearm as quickly as vossible, Rodee said.
No matter who becomes the next premier, Rodee feels it will b« more
of the same old thing—rigid opposition from the right and left. There it once again will be more compromising to maintain power. Wage Struggle
The great fight in France since the war has been that of controlling wages or prices. Each political faction has desired control of one, not both. This has meant the coalition government must try to satisfy both factions, something that has proved impossible and led to the unsteadiness of government.
Rodee reiterated his feelings, saying, “I am absolutely confident there will be no change in French policy. I don’t think the French people are inclined toward neutralism. They are very nationalistic

Extra-Long Session
Scheduled for 6
Two constitutional amendments that have been in the legislative deep-freeze for more than one month will be brought before the ASSC Senate tonight in the student solons’ final and persaps lengthiest meeting of the fall semester.
Student representatives will meet in the Senate chambers beginning at 6, one hour and 15 minutes earlier than usual. Starting time was advanced in order that the senators will have time to handle the logjam of business that has piled up.
Blackwell Presents Women's Proposal
The two amendments, which would provide for an independent women’s representative and would replace on the Senate the IFC president with a popularly-elected organized men’s representative, were to have been discussed at the last meeting, held shortly before the Christmas holidays. That meeting lasted only 50 minutes, however, and neither amendment was dealt with at that time.
The independent women’s representative proposal was introduced by Independent Representative Jerry Blackwell. The aim is to place on the Senate both a men’s and a women’s independent representative. At present, independent students are represented by a single senator.
Casey Heads Committee cn Incorporation
Senator-at-Large Tony Ward introduced the proposal to change the method of selecting an crganiz°d men’s representative. The IFC president, who is elected by a vote of the interfraternity council (each member house having one vote), at present is on the Senate. Under Ward’s plan he would be replaced by a representative elected by a vote of all organized men’s students at the general election in the spring.
A special committee, headed by Senator-at-large Wendell Casey, w^.l report on its investigation into the possibility of incorporating the ASSC.
Appointment of a diploma committee to study the possibility of securing an improved sheepskin is also on the agenda.
Larry Spector is scheduled to give a report of the Great-er-University committee.

Atty. Gen. Brown Rules Out Hand-Picking of Delegates
Capt. Kurt CarLsen and his battered ship, the Flying Enterprise, met the gravest peril of their 14-day battle against the sea last night when the stricken ship began taking water all over again. The freighter was settling farther in heaving seas, and the British towing tug, Turmoil, was forced to heave to to ease the strain on the towing cable.
Carlsen has stuck with his ship in spite of the danger in order to save salvage rights on her.
