RESHAPING ll of these Blue Key sugges- • passed by the Senate after subsequent debate—was that the ASSC forum committee, which she heads, be informed by the administration who may appear on the committees forums. The administration’s desires would be made known through the ASSC Senate, according to the request. Zech to Begin Deans Confab Dr. Albert Zech, leading an SC delegation to a dean of men's convention at San Diego State college, will give the opening address today at the first session of the two-day confab. SC's counselor of men will speak on National Trends in Student Government and Counseling Procedures.” Andy Davis and Bill Gray were appointed by ASSC President Bob Padgett to represent SC students at the student-faculty leaders convention. Prof. Earl Bolton, from the dean of student's office, and Richard Berg, fraternity coordinator, will make the trip to San Diego with Zech, as administration representatives. Gone Wampus Found; Goes On Sale Today Approximately 7000 copies of the Wampus, missing since Tuesday night from a storage bin behind the university incinerator on 37th place, were discovered last night by alert Wampusmen in a vacant lot near the Delinquency Control institute. Campus police report that two men were seen dumping the journals in the early evening. Neighborhood moppets who were playing in the lot at the time say the strangers told them the magazines were "too hot to handle.” University authorities declared the culprits, if arrested, face possible expulsion from school as penalty for bungling the theft. As a consequence. Wampus officials are hurling accusations of the crime at university authorities. The humor magazine is on sale this morning in front of the Student Union. New Party Formed; All-U Support Sought Complications were added to the campus political picture yesterday by the announcement of the formation of a new political party. John Roach and John De>vlin, Lambda Chi Alpha members, announced the formation of the Student party whose * primary objective to heal the split between organized students and in- Social Work Speech Set Arlien Johnson, dean of the School of Social Work, will explain “Careers in Social Work” at 3:15 p.m. today in the art and lecture room of the University library. “Social work is known as the shortage profession." Dean Johnson said. "For every graduate there are three positions.” The variety of positions and the range of employment in the field is unlimited and beginning salaries coincide with those in the education profession, she added. To get into social work, a student must have a liberal arts education majoring in social science, she said. Knights Battle Formation of Rival Group The battle of the Knights continued yesterday at the organization meeting of the new Independent Knights. Ron Crawford, member of the rival Trojan Knigfits, stirred things up by advancing reasons why there wasn't room enolgh fcr the two Knight service clubs. Crawford stated that as long as tlie Trojan Knights were on campus the Independent Knights could never get into any athlgtic activities. Sandy Gillette, chairman pro tem of IK. said. “We do not know why our organized brothers consider us a rival organization. “ We were gratified at the enthusiastic response of students interested in joining.” ’said Gillette. Some fraternity members said they would be interested in joining since they are excluded from other service organizations because of the quota limitation that accepts only one member from each fraternity house, he said. The 9 a.m. session was limited to a discussion of procedure and other technical details. Petitions for membership will be made next week, he announced. It was suggested at the meeting that sweaters of the Independent Knights be chartreuse. Some felt this would be a better color to adorn the orchestra seats at football rallies than the color the student body has been accustomed to seeing for many years. There will be another meeting next week, the day and time to be announced later, Gillette said. SC Politicos Surprised by New Faction Campus politicians yesterday expressed surprise at the announcement cf the formation of the new Student party. “Its all news to me,” George Prussel, Greater University party chairman, said, summing up the general reaction. Al Wiggins, candidate for GUP’s ASSC presidential nomination, made no comment. Unity candidate, Ed Stegman said he was “curious to know if Henry Wallace is behind this third party, too.” George Woolery tock a deep draw on his pipe, thought a moment, | then said. "Third parties are a natural phenomenon.” O’SULLIVAN SURPRISED Frank O'Sullivan, Unity chairman, expressed surprise that John Roach and John Devlin, organizers of the Student party, considered it necessary to form a new party to achieve an org-non-org reconciliation. “I don’t see the need for a new party to accomplish the same purpose that Unity has consistently fought for.” he said. “If Mr. Roach and Mr. Devlin are really sincere we invite them to join Unity.” Jack Shaffer, presidential aspirant who has asked for both Unity and Row support, expressed the same reaction. “I've always considered that the principle which these gentlemen espouse—working in the interests of all students, regardless of affiliation—to be the cardinal tenet of Unity,” Shaffer said. COMPLICATES SITUATION Doug Morgan, seeker of the Row presidential nod, said in reference to Roach and Devlin: “I have no doubt of their sincerity, but I think it will probably complicate the already clouded political situation. “However,” Morgan added, “there is a place for every political party if each one sincerely wishes to present the candidates best qualified on a basis of leadership, constructive action, and integrity.” ASSC President Bob Padgett seemed happy at the prospect of a slam-bang election campaign. “The formation of new campus political parties indicates a healthy interest in student government,” Padgett said. “I consider it a compliment to my party, Unity, that its program seems to have been adopted by the Student party.” Eaton Is New Veep; Runoff for 2 Posts Nicki Hastert was elected AWS president yesterday by a 2-1 majority over write-in cai»* didate Carol Kingsbaker. Jeanne Eaton was chosen AWS vice-president. A runoff election will be held for the offices of secretary and treasurer between Marilyn Judd and Carolyn Schiller, and Francis Blevins and Janet Ewart, respectively. The election date will be set later, said*-*--* Decision in DT Burglary Case Due Monday dependents. “In the present Senate,” Roach said, ‘ politics have replaced principle. If Unity introduces a proposal, the Row is automatically against it, and vice versa.” The chief occupation of the Sen- 1 ate factions, seems to be bickering, he said. He accused both sides of "lots of talk but very little action.” The new party has no prearranged candidates, Roach said. “We invite all candidates to appear before us to state their platform and objectives,” he said. An NICKI HASTERT Coeds' Choice Skeptics Set For Discussion With Minister Continuation of Life and Faith week will bring three speakers to SC today, one of them fOr a Skep- chairman of the House. Lun Rita Marie Kreiziger, AWS president. “If the voters had followed the preferential voting procedure correctly, there would be no need for the run-off,” said Miss Kreiziger. Gloria Wooden was elected URA women’s representative in an uncontested battle. CLOSE VOTE Pat Davis triumphed in the only ; contested office in the YWCA, winning the position of secretary by a very close vote. All other offices in the Y were elected without any opposition. | Wanda Lowry is president; Betty Yerxa. first vice-president; Candy1 Allen, second vice-president; and Nanette Howe, treasurer. ACTIVITIES LISTED Having directed the AWS-AMS picnic. Taxi day. and Coed Capers, j Miss Hastert is in a good position ! to handle the reins of the AWS presidency.

LOWRY’S BACKGROUND Head of freshman activities in the Y this semester, Miss Lowry is a member of Amazons, and secretary of Chimes. Miss Yerxa. first vice-president, is IOHN ROACH A New Party organizational meeting will be held at 2:15 Tuesday afternoon in 401 Student Union. Roach said he is not a candidate himself and has no personal political ambitions. He said he is in favor of the Senate having more power in the conducting of student affairs and opposes affiliation with NSA at this time. However, he emphasized that these are his own personal views and not necessarily those of the Student party. “We would like to see a lot of new people at the Tuesday meeting,” Roach said. “People who perhaps haven’t participated too much in school politics but who are willing to work for the good of the university rather than for the interests of one particular faction.” A temporary executive committee for the party will be elected at the meeting. cheon. and Hostess committee in the Y, and a member of Spurs. Miss Allen is a Freshman club adviser in the Y. member of Spurs, and AWS orientation captain. Now serving as sub-commissioner of the Social Responsibility commission of the Y, Miss Davis is also treasurer of Chimes. Miss Howe is membership chairman of the Y.

June Louin Tapp, senator-at-large. was appointed assistant chairman in charge of the standing committee on women's activities today by Frank O'Sullivan, chairman of the Unity party.

Just „I{ the Church is to be of any published is his “Television, Ser- value„ he said ..jt must criticize \ant cr Master? existing forms of governments with a bold eye in the light of what ought to -be.” CRITICISM JUST \ Dr. Blake pointed out that the churches' criticism of the government is justly done. The government, .he said, and our western democratic civilization find their roots in the church, and the church basically supports it. “The criticism is done,” he said, “in the spirit of Christanty, not communism.” The church, he continued, should The seven-man Men's Judicial council is still investigating the case against two students accused , of stealing 7000 Daily Trojans and won't offer a decision until Mon-: day. “W'e want to check on every possible lead before coming to a con-elusion." Dr. Albert Zech. counselor of men, said yesterday. Dr. Zech, ; administration adviser to the council. had hoped to finish today. “The next meeting of the council will be held Monday,” he ex-! plained, “and at that time we expect to have our findings ready to present to the Student Activity 1 committee.” ! The committee, a faculty group, will hear the judicial council’s report. no matter what recommendation the council makes for disposition of the charges against the two students. According to Bob Reynolds, chairman of the judicial council, hi sgroup can either drop the charges against the pair or pass the case on to tjie higher body. The council has interrogated the two students who are the strongest suspects in the burglary, he said. The actions of the council are kept secret, according to Reynolds, and members are sworn to secrecy. Names of the two men under suspicion have not been released. They are identified after a car pulled up in front of the student union the • day after the burglary at the Dixon Bell Press, and a bundle of the missing papers were thrown out. Dr. Zech said that members of the council have been in the field questioning witnesses to the finding of the papers and others connected with the case. Pastor Denies Charge Churches Harbor Reds Charges that Communists have infiltrated Protestant churches were repudiated yesterday by Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, pastor of the Pasadena Presbyterian church, in his lecture. “Christianity and Communism.” “Christian leadership is no more communistic than the Republican party leadership,” he*-- Chapter Mourns Fraternity Prexy Members of the SC chapter of Pi Lambda Phi have draped their charter and fraternity pins in respect for United States Ambassador Laurence A.

These failures were made by comparatively small groups with an active desire to live together in harmony, he added. DUTY TO GOD In pointing out the difference between the church tenets and communistic ideas he showed that the Christian believes that man’s ultimate duty is to God. whereas the communist doesn’t believe in God, and maintains that man’s ultimate duty is to the party. The Christian believes that evil lies deep in the human heart, and that no man is perfect, but the communist essentially believes in a Utopia, and that the only evil lies in capitalistic practices. Christians believe that spiritual values are the most importnt in life and that they culminate in love—the communist doesn't understand such foolish- know better than any one else that ness, he said.

The difficulty in constructing the camera was in syncronizing the shutter to the pulse of the X-ray machine which operates on a frequency of 60 cycles. This was remedied by setting the shutter so that 60 exposures a second are taken.

The government, .he said, and our western democratic civilization find their roots in the church, and the church basically supports it. “The criticism is done,” he said, “in the spirit of Christanty, not communism.” The church, he continued, should The seven-man Men's Judicial council is still investigating the case against two students accused , of stealing 7000 Daily Trojans and won't offer a decision until Mon-: day. “W'e want to check on every possible lead before coming to a con-elusion."

These failures were made by comparatively small groups with an active desire to live together in harmony, he added. DUTY TO GOD In pointing out the difference between the church tenets and communistic ideas he showed that the Christian believes that man’s ultimate duty is to God. whereas the communist doesn’t believe in God, and maintains that man’s ultimate duty is to the party.

This achievement may prove to be a great development in studying cronic cardiac conditions, he said. Development of the X-ray movie camera started in a laboratory in Hancock hall during the war. The difficulty in constructing the camera was in syncronizing the shutter to the pulse of the X-ray machine which operates on a frequency of 60 cycles. This was remedied by setting the shutter so that 60 exposures a second are taken. |
