SC Debaters Capture 2 Seconds in Tourney
Four debate-w^y Tr(^ahsXarfrrtfc ^old"cups^ home Saturday after placing second in two divisions of an annual California Institute of Technology tournament in Pasadena. It was the first debate encounter for SC this semester.

Jim Cravitz walked away with a second in lower division. First place decisions went to Ray Ford and Roland Reid of Pepperdine college in upper division and to Cliff Wallace and Ken Haygood of San Diego State college in lower division.
Twelve SC teams competed against debaters from 25 southwestern colleges in the two-day event which lasted from Friday to Saturday afternoon. The question was nationalization of basic industries.
In addition to the team of Dell and Levy, other SC upper division j squads were manned by Dale Drum and Ed Stegman, David Hunter and Al Wiggins. Dennis Shelley and Barrie Bateman. Charles Donnell and Lolet Thapar. Eph Feldman and Charles Jones.

Awards given Dell, Levy, Carter, and Cravitz included two trophies for the university and an individual cup for each of the debaters.
Main affirmative contentions on the nationalization question appeared to be that lack of competition in basic industries has resulted in evils to the general welfare and that the profit motive should be replaced with a “welfare” motive, i
Opposing the creation of government corporations—the plan pro- ; posed by affirmative speakers—the j negative contended nationalization would tend to undermine the present economic system.

The parking lot behind Science hall now being paved will be opened by Wednesday morning — if there is no rain in the meantime.
Elton D. Phillips, university business manager, announced that the work is scheduled to be completed on that date. If the entire lot cannot be opened, at least a part of it will be, he said.
Crews began black-topping the area Saturday morning. The work continued all day Sunday.
When paved and marked with white lines, the Science lot will accommodate about 330 cars. Phillips I .said. The wcrk will cost about I $6500.
The student lot would have been paved during Christmas vacation if rain had not prevented completion of the work, Phillips said.
Another facet of the parking situation was discussed Friday when student leaders of the Greater University Committee and its parking committee met with administration representatives to press for more parkng space for students. The meeting was held in the office of Dean of Students Bernard L. Hyink. Present were President Bob Padgett of the ASSC; Chairman Frank O'Sullivan of the Greater University Committee, and Vice-Chairman Allen Arthur; Chairman John Lathrop of the parking committee, and Willis S. Duniway of the department if development.
The biggest boon to SC coeds in many years hit campus Friday when women’s swimming; classes discarded their hallowed blue cotton swim sacks in favor of red two-piece bathing suits.
Long a source of embarrassment to struggling swimmers, the old suits included as standard equipment shoestrings to tie the straps. This was sure to stop the garments from floating away in idle moments.
Campus women expressed suspicion that the new models were the result of gradually decreasing enrollment throughout the years since the last great reform. No one could remember exactly ho>»v long ago this was.
Although the school has evidently decided that the form-revealing swim suit is here to stay, timid coeds may sti'l don the old models if they wish—but they must supply their own shoestrings in the future.

UC Faculty Ordered to Sign Anti-Red Oath in 65 Days
BERKELEY. Calif.. Feb. 27—<l"J») I —Indignation swept the faculty of the University of California today , in the wake of a Board of Regents ultimatum ordering professors to sign anti-communist oaths within 65 days or lose their jobs.
The regents’ action, climaxing a bitter eight-months battle with the faculty of the world s largest university, served only to unite the 4000-odd faculty members more solidly in a “do-or-die” rebellion.
Instead of public threats of resignation, however, the faculty geared itself to take the controversial demand through the courts to the Supreme court if necessary—by withdrawing the “loyalty oaths” that many of the professors already have signed and then letting the regents try to fire them.
The university has announced that 85.6 per cent of the faculty I “and other employes” among the 11.000-member staff of the university have signed the oath prescribed by the regents June 24,
1949. There was no figure indicating how many of the faculty have signed.
Last night's ultimatum gave faculty members on all eight campuses until Apr. 30 to sign or “be deemed to have severed his connection” with the big school as of June 30, 1950. The two main campuses are at Berkeley and at Los Angeles.
There was hardly another topic of conversation in academic halls, at faculty luncheons and breakfasts on the campus this morning. The university switchboard reported a “tremendous” increase in outgoing and incoming calls. Inter-campus lines and office-to-office telephone connections buzzed as professors reiterated among themselves the denunciations they have made public from time to time during the fight to maintain “academic freedom.”	•
A four-man committee of the academic senate, the ruling body of the faculty, led the professors’ fight.

Service Club Takes Orientation Poll

It was made to demonstrate the need for an expanded orientation program that will generate enough enthusiasm on
the part of the student to carry *----

affairs and into alumni activities.
Questions that were included in the poll, were designed to evaluate the opinions of interviewees on the [ value of the proposed freshman orientation course and a knowledge of the university and its traditions.
Miss Potter said the poll was handicapped by similar questions in previous polls. People were annoyed at being asked the same questions twice.
Information secured by the poll will be included in a report which will be sent to the proper administration officials.
Miss Potter said the Mortar Board had attempted to weight the answers to the questions on the basis Of the fall 1949 registration figures in order to obtain a scientific sampling.

Wolf Panic In Alaska
ANCHORAGE, Alaska. Feb. 27— (U.E)—Clarence Rhodes, director of the U. S. fish and wildlife service, today reported a case of “wolf hysteria” wras sweeping Alaska,
Reports from frightened residents are flooding the service’s headquarters from all parts of the territory, he said.
The wildlife expert said that while there are many wolves in Alaska, much hysteria is connected with reports of their bothering humans.
Rlfodes said reports that wolves are slaughtering large amounts of game animals in the Arctic are exaggerated, and added his office was investigating reports from residents living on the outskirts of Anchorage that wolves have been following them on outlying streets.

Boxing fatalities, the latest being that of Laveme Roach in a New York bout Wednesday night, are making the sports future a dim one, SC instructors indicated in interviews last week.
“Deaths caused from ring injuries are hurting boxing to the extent that it will be banned by law,” one instructor said.
“The aim of the game Ls to knock out the opponent,” said another. “Someone is going to get hurt.”
“Public opinion puts pressure on the lawmakers and boxing commissions,” said a third. “The nature of boxing arouses the public against it, while the injuries in other sports are taken more lightly.”
“I think the boxer’s past injuries are too often overlooked,” another said. “Is there any way of knowing whether an old head injury
which has been further aggravatea causes death, or whether one blow does it”
Another opinion was that large sums of money made from boxing have made it a lucrative business for promoters and managers. Inexperienced boxers are pushed toward top competition too fast. They face experienced men before they're prepared.
The money angle was brought up by yet another instructor. “The promoter is concerned about keeping his fighter in shape, but the boxer’s value is based only upon his wins ard looses. Maybe he doesn’t worry enough ab ut r.he ir-juries which dont show up .n the pre-fight examination.”
SC does not sponsor competitive boxing bouts. The sport is taught as a PE activity purely from the point of skill.
