Socialists Pass Literature by Doheny Library
As though it were planned, a representative of the Socialist Workers party appeared on campus yesterday peddling copies of the party organ, “thc Militant,” in front of the university library.
This happened just as the second installment of Robert Wells article on “The Decline of Radicalism on Campus" was sent off to the printers.
Wells’ article, which today is about the new names assumed by old student clubs in hopes of maintaining falling rosters, appears on page 2.

Von KleinSmid To Offer DP IR Scholarship
Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid will provide a scholarship in international relations for one dis-displaced student, and the university will provide tuition for another, it was announced yesterday.
The government ruling is that a DP must have complete financial support guaranteed before he will be allowed to enter a U.S. college or university.
The Interfraternity council has offered to supply subsistence for the student sponsored by Chancellor von KleinSmid. Beta Sigma Tau has pledged living quarters for the university-sponsored student, who who will be allowed to work for his meals at the University Methodist church co-op.
Alpha Phi Omega is making efforts to supply clothing for the DP students. George Koehler, chairman of the clothing committee, is also sponsoring a car pool to bring the DPs here from New York. Clothing and expense money are still | needed, and any one wishing to contribute can call Lois Wollenweber, general chairman, Rich-

Don’t hope for meals in the new cafeteria or classes in Founders hall too soon.
Completion dates of campus construction are strictly an unknown factor, and no one will slick his neck out far enough to venture a guess.
Last year’s sand and gravel strike threw the original building schedule off pace, and now John L. Lewis’ coal strike has delivered the coup de grace to hopes of an early construction windup.
It seems that the lack of coal has hampered railroad delivery of inside fixtures and furnishings for the new buildings.

City May Use Coliseum Area For Auto Park
Recent action by the city recreation and parks commission may lead to easing the local parking problem through introduction of parking areas around the western half of the Coliseum.
Commission officials informed state and county authorities last week that all gardening and maintenance work by the city on land leased by the county and state would cease this week. Grounds around the Coliseum are affected by this work stoppage.
Gen. Wayne Allen, county chief administrative officer, said that he would submit a recommendation to the state to convert the area into a parking lot.
Allen said that the county has no current budget to finance the maintenance work and that his proposed move would aid in the cost of the parkland upkeep.
James S. Dean, state director of finances, said that “due to a general need for economy in the state government the state cannot appropriate money for maintenance of a park lying within the Los Angeles city limits, anti used by the .city.
“The only solution," Dean said, “appears to be the conversion of a part of this area into automobile parking space . . .” Dean's views were in the form of advice to McIntyre Faries, president of sixth

Three proposed amendments to the Senate standing rules will be on the firing line at the next ASSC Senate meeting tomorrow evening.
Elimination of the vote by proxy is expected to provide the hottest issue of the changes recommended by the Senate Rules committee.
Additional provisions call for an amendment to the constitution providing for an initiative and the revamping of the existing rule that permits one member to demand a roll call vote.
According to Parliamentarian Al Wiggins, who heads the rules committee, the proxy is virtually unknown in deliberative assemblies.
Figures illustrating the use of the proxy in the Senate were provided by Wiggins.
“Sixty votes have been cast in this manner since the start of the fall semester,” said Wiggins. “This represents an average of six to seven per meeting.’’
The rules committee believes that one request should be insufficient to require a roll call.
“We propose to create a blank as to the number of people required to carry this motion," said Wiggins, “and let the Senate decide which rule will govern for the balance of the semester.’’
Senator George Bermant is spon- j sor of the proposed constitutional I amendment that would establish | the initiative. This is also expected k jt	. ^ I

Howard Kotler, retiring IFC president, said he was “sitting back and listening" to the debates on these questions rather than enter any further controversies.

Bob Reynolds, election commis-{ sioner, announced that Mar. 14-15 had been set as tentative dates for j the special election to fill the sen-• ate vacancy created by Richard Podmore's retirement. Row repre-| sentative Duane Shelstad is occupy-j ing the post ad interim.

GEORGE BERMONT Initiates Initiative
KTRU Fails FCC Test;
The plan of action of the ASSC “Little Hoover” commission, set up to make recommendations for a reduction in Senate representation to 12 members and the spending of student funds will be presented to the
Senate tomorrow night.
Al Wiggins, chairman of the committee, will make the report. •‘Most senators agree there should be a change in the ASSC setup, but we cannot say if they will accept our recommendations," Wiggins said yesterday.
“The present powers to handle ASSC funds are entirely too liberal," he said.
“Other than the establishment of a finance committee, there is no provision for the handling of funds in the ASSC constitution." DIFFERENT INTERESTS
The commission will recommend changes in representation in the Senate. “Classes and colleges by past experience have demonstrated that they have no special interests which are unique to their groups.” The committee hopes the 47-member Senate will be reduced to 12 representatives.
Another recommendation of the group will be the formation of a committee to coordinate student activities. It wrould serve as a clearing house so two or more organizations would not be working on a project simultaneously, Wiggins said.

The check on radiation was requested by the station after it had increased output to reach all parts
of the campus.
A Cappella Choir Returns From Nine-State Tour
Wiggins’ committee also is attempting to get an interpretation from administrative members of how much the student executive and legislative branches have in their dealings with the administration.
Future items of legislation presented to the Rules committee for technical clearance will be subject to release to the DT upon request, according to a resolution adopted by that body.

A cappella choir members returned to classes Monday after a week-long concert tour of the Southwest in which the 40 singers presented 16 programs in' nine California and Arizona cities.
The group was under the direction ■ of Dr. Charles C. Hirt. head ol the
j. department of sacred music in the School of Music.
In its final concert in Phoenix.
the choir ran out of encores and sang the current hit tune ‘'Rag Mop’’ to satisfy the audience.
The tour had its funny moments. It is customary for the choir to surprise Dr. Hirt at least once during a trip by breaking into a
strange number right in the middle of another song.
In Palm Springs, while the choir
was singing “Spirit of the Lord,”
a Negro spiritual, the choir suddenly gave out with “Rag Mop.” They almost had to mop Dr. Hirt up off the floor.
In Litchfield Park, Ariz., they
were singing “Where Are My Cows?” wtven ^taApVv CJapolurvso, choir treasurer, and John Kagoplan
assistant business manager, actually led a cow into the auditorium. Fog delayed the choir’s arrival
in El Centro, but the audience waited.
After a dinner dance in Phoenix, the choir spent Friday night riding home to Los Angeles.
The choir will go to South Pasadena Mar. 23 for another concert.

With the union facing stiff penalties for its defiance of the federal court’s back-to-work order, union-management n e g o t i ators agreed to recess their bargaining conferences after a 45-minute session again failed to crack their 10-month-old contract deadlock.
