Bill Blocked by Wily Senators
Before the 11 o'clock deadline closed the Senate meeting Wednesday night, the legislators had involved themselves in a time-killing two and one-half hour debate on the proposed Rally committee bylaw.
The senators used all the tricks of the trade to prevent the introduction of the Style committee's “Little Hoover” proposals. They also refused to suspend the rules to allow Debate Captain Ed Stegman to introduce a motion on the Daily Trojan theft case.
The Senate defeated the rules suspension motion 13 to 6 with 3 abstensions. Voting in favor of considering the burglary case were^ eration for tests in the last week Senators-at-large George Bermant, j 0f April.

RALLY BYLAW PASSED
The Rally Committee bylaw was finally passed by the Senate at 10:45. It had been amended to set up an ASSC Rally committee with the Trojan Knight president as chairman. The chairman will select a 25-man committee with at least two committee seats going to independent students.

KNIGHTS BLASTED

Service Orgs Seek Non-Orgs
More petitions for Trojan Knights and Squires were filed this semester by independent students than the total of independent petitions filed during the past two years according to George Prusseli. Knight president.
Independent petitions made up 20 per cent of the Knight applications and 10 per cent of the Squire nominations.
*‘We believe that independents should have adequate representation in our organization, but we can’t get members if they won't petition,” Prusseli said. “The percentage is higher this year, but when the proportion of indepen- ! dent to organized students is considered. the apathy shown by independents is disappointing.” EXAMINATIONS GIVEN
Incomplete tabulations of Knight and Squire examinations show that j both independent and organized ! men did poorly, Prusseli said. Some i did not even know the location of ; major buildings on campus.

The service organizations will assign hosts and hostesses to help students get through the units.
Two registrars will speed 100 persons an hour through each X-ray unit.
Inspection of unit sites by Elton D. Phillips, university business manager, and foundation executives, eliminated a Row location because of an overload on the power lines.
Tentative plans call for one unit at the corner of the Student Union, another fronting the Engineering building, the third in the area between Harris and Mudd halls, and another unit between the Music and Physical Education buildings. All units will operate from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and those on the PE and Harris sites will be open until 9 p.m. for night students.
McCarthy said that two minutes is the maximum time needed from the time of registration until the completion of the X-ray.
Posters advertising the campaign will be set up all over the campus and on the Row.
Faculty members will also be urged to get X-rayed and make announcements about the service in their pi asses.
The 9C drive is part of a county-wide program to test 3 million persons over 15 years.
The Christmas seal-supported X-ray drive will last all year.
Vets Protest VA Cutbacks
Ex-servicemen at a Trovet-spon-sored meeting yesterday started an organized letter-writing attack on point system. One hundied points t^e recent cutback in Veterans Ad-
each will be awarded for person alitv, appearance, and campus activities. The test will be worth 129 points. When interviews are completed, the Knights will choose new members by popular vote. Appointments to the service organizations will be announced May 8.
SQUIRES INTERVIEW Squire interviews will be held next week and applicants must appear on the day assigned. The schedule is:

Protests from individuals and campus organizations to congressmen and state officials was decided the most effective method of combating the cutback that resulted in the removal of PL 16 files from campus and a 75 per cent reduction of VA personnel.
California was hard hit by the VA personnel cut, because of the large number of veterans attending school here, according to Al Asa Dorian. Trovet president. A 40 per
Men s Council Wants Police To Investigate
Finality keynoted the ultimatum directed toward the guilty parties involved in the theft of the Daily Trojan last month with a resolution by the Men's Judicial council triat the case be turned over to Los Angeles police for action on burglary and grand larceny charges.
The recommendation, adopted unanimously by the Student Activities committee, will become fact if the guilty parties do not report to the Counselor of Men by Thursday.
After investigation, the judicial council found present evidence insufficient to warrant formal charges, but expressed the conviction that police investigation would uncover new evidence leading to more serious charges than those the university might bring.
GUILTY INFORMED The recommendation issued by Bernard L. Hyink, dean of students, reads:
.“For one week after consideration of this case by the Faculty committee the Daily Trojan will print a statement which will inform the guilty person (or persons) that if he does not report his act to the Counselor of Men the case will be turned over to the Los Angeles police for investigation.”
The committee also urged any students or faculty members possessing bonafide evidence which might lead to the apprehension of the thieves to report their information to the Counselor of Men.
DT INVESTIGATES Less than 24 hours after the Mar. 23 edition of the DT was .stolen, suspects were identified, but, although this lead was Investigated, conclusive evidence was not obtained.
Two suspects were seen throwing a bundle of the stolen papers on the steps of the Student Union the morning of the 24th. Following a further tip, DT staffmen located tfie remaining 7000 papers in a vacant lot one mile from campus. Neighborhood witnesses identified the suspects as those who had been seen earlier that morning.
The following week they were summoned before Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men, who referred the case to the Men's Judicial council for action.
REWARD OFFERED A veil of secrecy surrounded the hearings *of the council—suspects were not named, nor findings revealed.
Bob Padgett. ASSC president, offered a $100 reward on behalf cf Unity party for the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties.
Early this month Dr. Zech stated that conviction of the suspects was unlikely because of insufficient evidence. He al$o expressed a reluctance to tum the case over to the Los Angeles police.
Today's action was a result of Tuesday's meeting of the faculty Student Activities committee when information presented was hly considered and found
