O Sullivan Attacks Parking Problem
By LEON FURGATCH
Solving the parking problem and successful completion of the International house and student health plan are among the major goals of the Greater University committee, chairman Frank O’Sullivan said yesterday.
O’Sullivan, who was appointed by the Senate Wednesday
night to head the committee, said*-
that his committeemen will be

chosen by the end of next week.
He said that he had definite answers to the parking problem that has plagued students, but that he did not wish to disclose them at the moment.
DISLIKES TRAFFIC SIGNAL
He expressed a personal distaste for the idea of a traffic signal on University avenue and 36th street. “It won't stop students from crossing against the light,” he said.
O'Sullivan explained that the health plan as. projected by the university committee last year would provide students with about 30 days of free hospitalization and basic dental care.
The plan was scuttled last year when the Senate objected to the j $10 charge for the service.
HEALTH PLAN
Part of the money would have gone for expanding the health staff in the PE building and the ; rest for a campus hospital to be

Gevirtz was not available for comment yesterday on his future plans for the association.
Knights Climax Safety Drive With Accident'
Realism was added to the Knight's drive safely campaign yesterday when the “body” of J. T. “Leatherlungs” Thompson, yell leader, was taken from a smashed 1949 Ford on University avenue.
A screaming ambulance roared down the avenue and stopped at the scene of the wreck. Ambulance attendants, represented by SC yell leaders, leaped out and rendered first aid to the “bleeding” (katsuji) Thompson. They were too late. The ambulance sped off taking the “body” to the morgue, but not before Tom Shea, yell king, delivered a lecture to the crowd on safe driving.
Doug Morgan, Knight project committee chairman, said that the staged accident was a repeat per-pormance of the accident which took the lives of five persons on highway 101 south of Oceanside. It was designed to drive home the message that “Death is so Permanent” and “Kill the Bears not a Trojan.”
“The project committee is open to any other suggestions to improve safety around school,” Morgan said. "This stunt to impress safety on the minds of the 4000 going to Cal is only one of many projects of the Knights to improve safety.”

The holiday, though new to Los Angeles. is an established custom in such eastern cities as New York. Chicago. Cleveland, and Cincinnat-

It differs from other gift-giv-ing holidays in that it is not based on any religious festival or family tie. but is devoted to “making someone happy with a thoughtful remembrance.”

Strike Cripples LAS Operation
Five more men were laid off the construction gang of the new LAS building yesterday as the gravel pit strike moved into its 14th day. This brings to 75 the number of men discharged from campus construction jobs as a result of the strike.
Plumbers, electricians, and steamfitters remain on the job, but how long their work will last is not known, a complete shut down of the project is being side-stepped by ordering lathers and bricklayers to work this morning.
“We can't get the building any higher until we get more cement. This is certain,” said Superintendent Ed Ogle, "but we are going to finish what we have started as far as possible.”

Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall may be, within a year or so, a Faculty club building rather than a women's dormitory.
Prof. Robert Kingsley, chairman of the faniversity Senate, stated at the second meeting of the Senate that a report to this effect had reacheo the Executive iConlmittee. i
Although nothing definite on the matter was said, it was suggested that a faculty committee present j its plan or request to President j Fagg.
The new Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall, which is expected to be completed by next fall, would house the women now living at E.V.K.
John E. Fields, director of development, spoke at the meeting and discussed some of his department’s plans for the year.
Among these plans are the establishment of an alumni fund: the acquisition of more gifts to the University; information for pros-
pective students, especially University College; the development of television programs: and the determining of needs for the specific schools and colleges of the University.
Loser Will Tumble From Title Picture
by ERNIE BEYER
Amid familiar surroundings a familiar problem may be settled tomorrow in a familiar way—or to put it another way, by tomorrow night the 1949 PCC champion may be decided.
Trojans vs. Bears for the Pacific Coast title is nothing new. In 1947 SC humbled the Bears 39-14 for the right to be annihilated by Michigan in the Rose*
bowl. Last year the Bears were I V) J rt	II
victorious, 13-7. and they advanced, fl A R fl KPf AIIC to the Pasadena classic.	|	llwWQIU
This year things are not quite j that simple. While the defeated I team might just as well throw in the towel as far as Rose bowl hopes are concerned, the victor still ! will have future problems.
NO LOAFERS \
The Trojans, in particular, have a glum outlook. Should they get successfully by Cal, they must face Oregon, Washington, Stanford, and UCLA in that order.
The loser of tomorrow’s contest will be shunted to the class of Stanford and Oregon, who have each lost one game, while the winner will join UCLA atop the PCC standings. The Bruins currently are in “the catbird’s seat,’’ being undefeated and also being successfully by Stanford and Oregon, two of the preseason favorites in the PCC.

San Jose Uses DDT — But Not For USF
SAN JOSE, Oct. 13—(lr.P>—The San Jose State's stadium may smeil slightly of DDT during tomorrow night's San Jose-USF game, but officials hope it will be mosquito -free.
Plagued week-long by an Invasion of mosquitoes, school officials announced today that a plane wili spray the insecticide over the stadium area tomorrow afternoon tc-keep the spectators and players free from the pests.
‘T.he Lower Depths,” a French film based on the famous Russian play by Maxim Gorki, will be presented by the Film Classics series Monaay evening at 8 in Hancock.
The film, starring Jean Gabin, is a drama of a thief who befriends a bankrupt baron and shows him a carefree way of life. Woven into the plot of the film are love, jealousy, and violence in the realistic fashion of French movie production.
Jean Renoir, who directed the film in 1936, has long been established in France as a movie maker of great talent. Son of the French impressionistic painter, he brought artistic feeling to the screen.
Gabin is a film veteran of many years. He acted in “The Grand Illusion,” also directed by Renoir, and “Moontide,” an American film made in 1943 with Ida Lupino and Thomas Mitchell.
Tickets for the film series are available at the Student Union ticket office for $3.
The Tomatoes; Vows Revenge
Grid bandmaster Tommy Walker, remembering the spirited barrage of overripe tomatoes and rotting vegetables that showered his band when it marched across the Berkeley turf to serenade the Cal stands after the '47 contest, yesterday vowed that his musicians will “blast the enemy stands Saturday.”
He will march 130 bandsmen into the Cal-bound rooters' special at 9:05 this evening. Walker will carry a “special medical kit-’ in preparation for the encounter.
Cals famous hospitality has been extended to the SC band for two days. Customary half-time etiquette places the field at the visiting musicians disposal first.
This gesture will be reversed tomorrow—according to the Bear’s .head bandsman. Walker says “Not so. We’re going on the field first or there will be two outfits opening up at the same time.”
The Trojan half-time musicians’ theme will be a salute to the California Centennial. “California, Here I Come” will be followed by “Wagon Wheels,” played by the band while it marches into the Covered Wagon formation and then into the outline of the Golden State.
“I Love You California” will be dedicated to the Centennial while the accompanying formation spells out 100.
