Discrimination Hit by Panel
Problems facing minority groups in higher education were the subject of a panel discussion in Bowne hall Friday. Dr. Russel L. Caldwell, assistant professor of history, acted as moderator for the program which was sponsored by the Student Council on Religion.
Milton Senns, executive secretary of the B'nai B'rith Anti-defama-tion league, discussed the problem of minority group students entering college. He described the effect of school location upon minority group students who apply for admission and said that “the mores of the area may be such that it would be difficult, if not impossible, cretion of the group.

to arrange a meeting with administration officials to discuss the survey and the recommendations made by the committee.
ASSC President Bob Padgett said that he was “highly satisfied so far" with the work of the Greater U. committee and its parking subcommittee.
“The acuteness of the problem has been dramatically demonstrated by the survey results,” Padgett said. “‘I am confident that the administration will take action to alleviate the problem.”
Allen A. Arthur, Greater U. vice-chairman, said that while the problem had been measured, it had not yet been solved.
“Almost 10,000 persons are bringing their cars into the campus area where parking space for not more than 2300 cars is available. Obviously mere parking space must be secured,” Arthur said.
The committee’s parking report, O’Sullivan said, recommends specific action by which more space can be made available.
Administration officials said comment would not be forthcomng until the had received and studied the committee report.
ENJOYS CONCERTS
Coomer attends each concert on the tour, staying backstage where he can lend a hand, if needed. Although he doesn't claim to be a singer, he has memorized most of the choir’s repertoire.
“I don't go to the concerts just because I have nothing else to do. I really enjoy them.”
A native of Big. Stone Gap, Va., Coomer' had a truck and trailer produce hauling business in Harrisburg, Pa., for ten years before the war.
CALIFORNIA LURES
He enlisted in the Air Corps in June, 1942, and was a B-17 tail gunner in England three months later. He flew 27 missions, going over Hamburg and Schweinfurt, and was mustered out in September, 1945.
Then, like a million other GI’s he came to California.
Coomer has been driving for Greyhound for four years—three without an accident of any kind, even a dented fender. The only black mark on his record came when a car came through a red light and collided with his bus. This morning at 6:15 Hollis Coomer started on a real “busman’s holiday.”

A complete, long-term solution for Los Angeles’ transit headaches, will be offered by Dr. Henry K. Babcock: SC lecturer in finance and a local consulting engineer. He will discuss the plan at an open meeting of Ephebian Society of Los Angeles, Mar. 2 in the auditorium of the Subway Terminal building.
The plan proposed by Dr. Babcock is not the cuctomary suburban transit system in operation in other large cities, but a new subway project designed for the 175 square mile central area of Los Angeles.
Under this plan all public surface trasportation in the central district would be eliminated, leaving the highways to private vehicles. A proposed network of 12 radial subway loops would give 100 per cent coverage to commuters in the central area as compared with the 39 per cent coverage of the New York system and the 22 per cent coverage given by the Chicago system.
Areas served by the proposed high-speed system would be Glendale, Burbank, Eagle Rock, Alham-

Devised in 1927. the system, according to Dr. Babcock, is selfsubsidizing and self liquidating. Its adoption has been urged by numerous civic groups.
A resident of Los Angeles since 1934. Dr. Babcock is a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He earned his PhD. at Northwestern university, where he served as associate professor of physics and later became a consulting engineer.
Tax Plan
Perils SC
—Stegman
President Truman’s’ proposed tax program threatens the financing of private universities and colleges such as SC, Ed Stegman, co-captain of the debate team, said Friday.
Stegman said that the portion of the President's tax plan calling for the removal of tax exemption from commercial enterprises operated by nonprofit charitable or educational institutions would reduce a major source of income for many private schools.
Such universities as Yale and New York receive funds from commercial operations, he pointed out. Yale owns Boola Inc., and NYU operates a macaroni factory.
“Endowments to private universities have become increasingly scarce,” Stegman said. “Many universities have had to look elsewhere for the funds necessary to perpetuate themselves. A number of them have invested in commercial enterprises which are currently tax-exempt.”
If this exemption is now removed. Stegman declared, it would not be of any real benefit to government since any revenue so raised would have to be used to provide the educational facilities now provided by private institutions.
The debater and George Burke co-authored a resoluton, passed by the ASSC Senate Wednesday, which requested the President and Congress to retain the tax-exempt provision.
L.A. Problems To Be Told
Dr. Donald S, Howard, head of the department of social welfare at UCLA, will speak at the Pi Lambda Theta meeting, 7:30 tonight in Bowne hall, on “Social Welfare Problems Facing Los Angeles.”
A prominent authority in the field of social welfare. Dr. Howard has written a number of articles on this subject. He is president of the American Association of Social Workers.
For two and one half years during World War II Dr. Howard worked with the U.S. State department, the Foreign Economic administration. and UNRRA. He helped to develop the UNRRA welfare program in eastern Europe and later became deputy director of the UNRRA China mission.
Dr. Howard’s discussion of the growing social welfare problem in Los Angeles is open to the public.
