Critic Praises Stop-Gap Plays
by SHIRLEY ICKES
Three of the best one-act plays ever to hit the Stop-gap stage opened last night.
“Pan, Pan IS Dead,” Jack Gariss’ production which won the Al-den Award for the Dramatist Alliance last year, proved that it well deserved the honor. It has an interesting story to tell, is well written, and the unique plot, concerning a mythical concept of how Christianity may havq come into Greece, reveals an expert command of the dramatic essentials.
Florence Malin, as the craggy old priestess, turned in a professional performance. Her gestures, facial expression, and voice qualities were in complete accord with the characterization and the mood of the play.
Sol London revealed a sure grasp of his character's idiom in his hardhitting play, “No Tears for Trace.”
The structure and dialogue of his play, which revolves around the suicide of a shipyard worker, was terse, powerful, and altogether convincing. The blood-splattered body of Trace added to the play's grim realism.
Sherman Martin's “Clarissa,” lacking the earthiness of the other productions, did not entirely captivate the audience because of its somewhat confused plot. It was entertaining. however, and good performances were turned in by Co-rinne Chermin and Jeff Whitten.
Long-Range Planners Praised by Douglas
by BOB WELLS
Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas yesterday in Hillel patio narrowed her eyes against the late afternoon sun, smoothed her trim black suit, and spoke earnestly and with conviction about Congress and the people who elect it. . There are three types of persons in Congress, she said—
those who believe in long-range*-—-
planning, those who will recognize
immediate problems, and those who for one reason or another seem to oppose any constructive action. She indicated that there were too few of the first type and too many of the latter.
She characterized California’s population growth as the largest migration into a semi-arid region in modern times.
“In numbers, it is as if the entire population of Virginia had migrated to the west coast,” she said.
This sudden increase, Mrs. Douglas said, has presented California with many problems. However, the state offers greater opportunity than any other area, she said.
“California is the doorway to the Pacific, to trade with Asia wThich, with its great human and natural resources, will be the world of tomorrow,” she said.	'
The key to California's future, the congresswoman believes, is proper utilization and development of natural resources, particularly water for power and irrigation.
“Plentiful power at low cost: means employment opportunities ; and high wages,” she said. “Lack of power resources means unemployment and cheap muscles.”
To aid California’s development and to help the state meet its immediate problems, Mrs. Douglas said she had recently introduced a (Continued on Page 4)

SC and Row Pose Problem For Freeway
SC is a “large, fixed obstacle!’ to the city’s freeway engineers.
Hugo Winter, who is in charge of locating and planning Los Angeles’ super highway system, made this observation yesterday at the Men’s Faculty club luncheon in EVK.
“We are actively conducting studies to locate the proposed Harbor parkway,” Winter said. “I do not know which route will be chosen.- *
“If it goes to the west it wiil run through fraternity row. If it goes to the east it wrill encounter hospitals, and between the two is a large, fixed obstacle—the university.
"That is why we are even studying a proposal to build elevated parkways down both Figueroa and Flower streets.
“It is the history of large public improvements that they have always been put through over vigorous opposition.
‘Building parkways is a complex problem, but we are going to solve it without partisanship. We will select the best possible route from traffic studies and from the community standpoint. We have to consider property values and. the effect of parkways on the community.”
Winter said that freeway con-Negligee-clad campus lovelies | struction was not proceeding as dancing against a backdrop of raPidly as the city had hoped.

Racial
Report
Accepted
Motion of Bill Gray, Independent senator, that five observers from the ASSC Senate attend the 1950 National Students Association Congress was passed by the so-lons last night with only two abstaining votes.
Heated discussion flared as the NSA question followed
the Senate’s quiet acceptance of the report of a special committee that the “race and descent clause” be stricken from the admission blank.
Question of whether senators or students should attend the NSA confab caused stormy debate that lasted until the ninth meeting of the Senate this semester ended at the 10:30 deadline.
* Mrs. June Tapp and Jack Shaffer were the two solons who refused to vote in favor of accepting Gray’s motion.
Initiative proposals of George Bermant and George; Woolery, expected to be the bones of rhetorical contention, failed to reach the Senate's attention when NSA wrangling lasted to the final minutes of the session.
Earlier, a roll call vote was called for as Lillian Stevens, Debate Captain Ed Stegman’s proxy, urged an amendment that the five observers be “elected by the student body.” Vote went in favor of the original measure, and the amendment failed.
Debate on the acceptance of the “race and descent” report, by comparison, flowed smoothly to the point w’here Bob Scoilin, senator-at-large, urged acceptance with the declaration:
“This is an adult report and we (Continued on Page 4)

The all-U St. Patrick's Day dance Mar. 17 will be the first all-univer-sity affair planned from t.he findings of last semester’s social-activi-ties poll.
The poll, conducted by Ellen Potters ASSC social committee, revealed that Row and independent students were overwhelmingly in favor of Informal dances held off campus and priced from $2 to $2.50.

The dance will be preceded by a week of “St. Patrick’s Day” activities. Ron Hunt, dance chairman, has announced a rally in Bovard on Thursday. Hunt said that the goal of all-U affairs is to create an all-university spirit.
“There have been complaints in tlie past,” Hunt said, “that the desires of the entire student body were not being considered in planning dances. The poll has given our committee something definite to go by, and we are trying to give the students the type of affair they want,” he concluded.
The Trovets will underwrite the dance, and any profits will be donated to the Living War Memorial fund.
Bids will go on sale Monday.
