The Unity party, meeting in the Senate chambers Friday, decided that type A plasma in the form of new members was needed and voted to start a membership drive tomorrow.
There was some discussion as to the advisability of a drive at this time. It was suggested that it might obscure the issue of the election. However, this point was refuted with the argument that now was the time for the drive because interest in the election was high.
Frank O'Sull van, newly appointed chairman of the party, said, “the ranks of the Unity party are open to any interested students. Membership is not confined to any one group.”
Candidates for freshman president to run on the Unity slate are now being considered by the steering committee. The committee members are Bob Padgett. Unity presidential candidate: George Ber-mant, and Bob Scollin.

Job placement and semester ac-
with Bird and two others.
Bird has been active in many campus organizations. Among other activities he was instrumental in the organization of crew development at SC.
Tentative plans for the home-joming outlined by Bird for the senate embraced many new ideas and innovations.
“Homecoming week should be more for the students than for the alumni.” he emphasized. “It is one •time during the year when teamwork between the row and independent students is vital.
“The job should be complete^ non-political and should not b? influenced by any party line what ever,” he added. “Appointment to my committee will be made on a strict ability basis regardless of party affiliations.”
WORDS FLEW
Sharp verbal exchanges accom-Danied the parliamentary battling before B:rd’s confirmation.
Aft~r Bird revealed his plans for TT~meroming. AMS President Jack Shaffer’s motion to force a vote on the confirmation was beaten 16-11.
Larry Bub. senior class president, then moved to table his appointment until the next meeting.
“I don’t think the need for a chairman is so imminent,” he said. “Miss Potter should give us a break and put all of the names suggested to her before the senate so we can have a choice.”

Simmering political strife will greet returning UCLA students in Westwood today, proving that SC is not the only local cave of learning beset, at times, by the screams of anguished politicas.
Awaiting the student body is the firs copy of the publication Dailv Bruin to be printed by two editors rejected last Spring because of “political affiliations.”
An opening-of-school edition of the Bruin circulated with the names of Jim Garst. ed:tor, and Clancy Sigal, managing editor, flying at the “flagstaff.’’
They won a four-months fight for their posts after midnight Thursday when the Student Executive council approved the nominations by a nine-to-three vote.
Garst and Sigal wrere called on the carpet at the hours-long session and questioned by the members of the council.
Last spring, when the school’s I iLt L. uo:. . .jiicaiions board, but Student Publications board reject- j it was the Strdent Executive coun-
appointment. This argument is just a device used by Mr. Bub io get his own man in as chairman.” “Bird has all the qualifications a person could have for the job,” said Tom Perry, senator-at-large. “Only politics can keep him out.” The senate voted 15-13 to table s confirmation until the next meeting. The motion was defeated since a two-thirds vote was required to pass it. Shaffer immediately moved that the senate adjourn and reconvene in five minutes, and the notion was passed.
BIMMERMAN OUT During the interim, Bimmerman notified Miss Potter of his withdrawal.
Asked after the meeting why he withdrew. Bimmerman said that .he thought Bird was a good man for the job.
“I would have liked to have had the job myself, but it wasn’t worth ruining Homecoming by delaying an appointment of a chairman. It shouldn't be considered as a political job.”
BUB EXPLAINS
After Bimmerman's withdrawal. Bub explained why he had opposed Bird.
Bird was promised the full support of Bill Warfield, whose appointment as Homecoming chairman was rejected by the senate last Wednesday.
“I am very pleased that Bird been confirm*d.” he said, “and I will be glad to help him in any way I can.”
Bird pointed out that even though it is right that alumni activities should be the highlights of the celebration it as sometimes been the case that two or three days go by during Homecoming week without any planned student activities on campus.
GIVES PLANS “This condition has allowed the enthusiasm and excitement to die between events,” he continued. “My plans include some outstanding event on campus each day during the entire week, with trophies to be awarded for outstanding student participation.
“Tentatively, the week’s entertainment would include a rally to get things started,” he stated. “This will be followed on consecutive days by such events as “Men’s Capers, a talent show open to all male students; a “Flapper’s” day for the alumni, featuring dress styles of the ‘20s and model “T” Fords; and an evening concert.
PLUGS FIRES “I would like to see the return to our campus of the old bonfire tradition even if we have to use the parking lot as a location,” he went on, “with a prize given to the student organization winning the wood race.
“No Homecoming would be complete without the big dance and the freshman-sophomore brawl.” he concluded. “It is possible that this year we will hold a parade of SC floats down Wilshire boulevard and end up at the Ambassador hotel with an evening of festivities.”
ed their nominations, it was charged that the proposed staff members were “too politically biased”— with the bias to leftward.
“They said thr.t my political associates had be.?n ‘oo extensive,” Garst said. “They felt that we would overplay political stories.”
At the Wednesday night-Thurs-day morning interview sess'on. politics were not mentioned. Garst said.
“They concentrated on questioning us about our qualifications as editors,” he reported.
The Daily Bruin is the official organ of the Associated Students of UCLA. Garst and Sigal had worked on it for several semesters before they were listed to head a 10-man slate of top editorial staffers.
The nominations were rejected by
cil wh'ch cast the votes accepting the disputed list of names.
“The publications board has sev-e> members,’ Garst explained. “‘One of them is the Bruin editor At the beginn ng of this semester there was no Bruin editor — he hadn't been rporoved -ro the publications board couldn’t legally vote on the matter.”
“That’s why the council took it up.”
This semester's council, Garst said, is “‘more enlightened “than the entirely different body which sat last year.
Both of the disputed editors are seniors. Both are 23 years old. Garst was a merchant seaman and Sigal a GI during the war.
Accepted with Garst and Sigal were the remaining eight members of the once-rejected slafe.
