★ Goodby, Mr. Ashley
the DT talked to Ted King, ent body president, and Ed Ol-ez, president of the sophomore s. who sounded Just as glum as
rest.
peaking for the student body, g said that the news was a it shock to everyone.

eluded a poignant drama presented by Weinberg, Ken Downs and Don Sorensen.
The time for action has arrived. It has been the hope of the editor that that time would come.
The issue, in case anyone is in doubt, is the closing of the book labeled “Daily Trojan, Fall, 1949.”
Friday, the operation of the DT this semester was reviewed. There were some omissions.
First and perhaps foremost of these is an expression of thanks to and praise for the close cooperation this administration nas had with the University and its spokesmen from President Fagg down to Dean Hyink.
Indeed, though, there have been times when our feelings did not agree with these officials. These differences have usually been resolved.
Secondly, there have been stories which were delayed for good reasons. They still were newsworthy when they finally appeared, but it is always a good news policy to print them as soon as it is feasible.
Lastly, there have been delays and disappointments in action that should be taken by proper authorities. The Homecoming Queen contest case is still not settled and it should have been long ago.
The authorities handling the case should be roundly condemned regardless of reasons for the delay, and strive to prevent such in the future.
Be that as it may, the time is at hand to congratulate the nrw editor of the Daily Trojan. Ordinarily the Trojan does not change editorial hands in mid-semester, but this year it does. The present editor is to be graduated at the end of January.
Next semester, the editorship of the Daily Trojan will be in the capable hands of Marion Sellers, one of this'year’s assistant editors. He has earned the job by hard and diligent efforts. My best wishes go to him for a successful year. .
As for you, Frank Ashley, it’s off to the salt mines with you.
In short, Goodby, Mr. Ashley.

Housing Expert Hits LA Slums
Hitting Los Angeles slum conditions, Charles Abrams, national authority on housing, said in a speech given on the campus Thursday that Rose Bowl glitter hides slums more squalid than those of New York.
Abrams, at the invitation of Dr. Robert B. Pettengill, director of the Teaching Institute of Economics, spoke on the legal aspects of housing, including restrictive covenants and the problems faced by public housing authorities.
The talk highlighted the fact that the minimum legal requirements for housing in Los Angeles are below* those of New York. It was also pointed out that enforcement of the requirements in New York is more thorough than in Los Angeles.
Abrams cited the fact that New York laws require running water on

The parking situation at SC sprouted as many new buds over Christmas vacation as an elm tree in springtime.
During tlie interim several SC parking lots were paved—one was not; curbs along University avenue were painted black because of a mixup in city ordinances; chairmanship of the Greater-University Parking subcommittee changed hands; police promised to paint parking lines along 36th street; plans for the Greater-U parking survey were completed; and the 6th Agricultural district get ready to raze land for Coliseum parking lots. SITES SURFACED
Faculty parking lots near the Dental building and behind Bridge hall were blacktopped. Work was started on the Science lot before the other lots, the result being that the Science lot was all graded, soft, and absorbent before the rains and soaked up too much moisture to be blacktopped.
Business Manager Eltcn D. Phillips said that work would be started on the absorbent lot as soon as the moisture works its way to the surface and evaporates. He asked students to be patient about the delay and said that the lot would be
open for parking until it is ready for paving.
REDS TAR BRUSHED Outside curbs along University avenue were painted black by the city police when they discovered that red curbing in conjunction with “no parking” signs violated traffic ordinances. Black curbing allows a passenger to stop for three minutes to pick up passengers, providing the- driver remains behind the

Backgrounding the talk will be slides of ancient life. Some of these slides are the work of C.R. Knight, artist and paleontologist, whose drawings nave been of great aid in understanding the prehistoric world.

To Analyze Recent Vote
Conservative party victories in Australia and New Zealand will be discussed by Robert Hadow, British consul-general, in the art and lecture room of the University library, Thursday, at 7:15 p.m.
Pi Sigma Alpha, political science honorary fraternity, will sponsor Hadow's address on “Elections in the British Commonwealth.” The public is invited.
Other speakers will be Dr. Tot-ton J. Anderson, acting chairman of the department of political science, and Dr. J. Eugene Harley, professor of political science.
Members of Pi Sigma Alpha will have a dinner meeting in the faculty section of Town and Gown at 6:30.
Last DT for This Semester
To let journalists catch up on their studies and give them some chance to pass their courses, the Daily Trojan stops publication this semester with this issue.
Publication will be resumed on the first day of the spring semester, Feb. 8.
The first change requested by a veteran will be approved by the Veteran's Administration if it is tragic j approved by the university and if there are no substantial reasons which in the opinion of the VA make the change undesirable, Hall said. If later changes are requested the veteran will be required to go through VA guidance and' counseling before action Is taken.
Students who are in doubt as tc whether their planned change of course will require a supplemental certificate should check with the office of Veteran Affairs. All veterans who have filed forms for a change of course next semester must refile for the planned change. Permission to register will be denied until such request has been properly filed, Hall said.

business of routing a monstrous freeway through a city, they leave you with the feeling that it is much like playing chess—you know, “I moved, now you move.”

ENGINEER'S MAP SHOWS just where the proposed freeway will slice its way through 28th street. Hope has been expressed that a new route can be agreed upon by planning officials.
tically send freeway autos down University avenue in competition with Row and Tanner Tours traffic.
This last suggestion is no good because, among other things, it would practicaly kill Frank O'Sullivan of the Greater U committee who has been trying so hard to solve the unsolvable parking and traffic problem at SC and fulfill a campaign promise for his boss.
A more radical plan, advanced by business people in southwest Los Angeles who are in danger of b^ing liquidated by the freeway which is coming through between Figueroa and Broadway streets in the south, is to move the freeway to Long Beach boulevard way east of here.
This plan is sheer phantasy according to freeway engineers who estimated that the city would have to expend $8 million for every mile of elevated highway they would have to build over the railroad right-of-way.
Even if the taxpayers could stomach such a bite, the freeway
idea would be defeated by sending people around Los Angeles and not into it, where they want to go.
Incidently. since the Long Bcach boulevard plan is no good, it will most likely blast the last hopes of southwest businessmen.
These same people were overjoyed during the vacation, as evidenced by their spokesman, a prominent neighborhood throwaway paper, to note that “powerful new support in the battle against currently pm-posed routing of the Harbor freeway between Figueroa and Broadway street was seen this week” from SC.
The best suggestion yet advanced for saving the Row comes from a modest journalist on the DT who believes that the only thing left to do is dig a tunnel under 28th street for the freeway.
The only question is, would the groundhogs mind?
