Purchases Area Athletic Field
erkes, Muste ebate Spread (Communism
Ten homes and two apartment buildings on property unded by West 36th street, McClintock avenue, West 35th ace, and South Hoover street have been purchased by the iversity to further the expansion of SC’s athletic facilities. This property was acquired by direct negotiation with
--* the owners.
In addition, two suits based on the right of eminent domain are pending in civil court for acquisition of property on the north side of West 35th place.
Once completed, the block immediately fronting the PE building will contain a regulation quarter-mile running track and a football field. Jumping pits and shot-put area will be located inside the track but outside the boundaries of the gridiron.
COST $330,000
Cost of the entire project, including purchase of land and buildings will be about $330,000. according to Financial Vice-President Robert D. Fisher. Removal of the buildings is now under way.
When and if the university acquires all the property bordering West 35th place, it will be closed off between South Hoover street and McClintock avenue, making room for the full sweep of the track.
A city ordinance prevents such an action uhen it would deny access to private property.
Work on the field will be completed by next fall, but the track will not be ready for use until February.
Four volleyball courts will be moved from their present site to the north side of West 35th place.
Willis O. Hunter, director of intercollegiate athletics, said:
“The athletic department is most appreciative for the benefits to be derived from the expansion of facilities. This is the second phase of that program, the renovation of Bovard field was the first.”
If the third phase of the plan advanced by Hunter is ultimately | approved, the athletic plant will j

City Council Studies New Freeway Plan
Routing of the harbor freeway along Long Beach boulevard was proposed Thursday by Councilman Kenneth Hahn in a resolution introduced into the Los Angeles City council.
Declaring that construction of the freeway along the route previously Vocation” will be given at 2:15 p.m., proposed would jeopardize the liv-art and lecture room, University li- j ing conditions of many SC students
and would destroy the “traditional and well-honored Fraternity Row,” the resoution called on the council to request the state to investigate the alternative route.
Speaking in favor of his resolution, Hahn characterized the proposed freeway route as “stupid.” Utilization of the Pacific Electric right-of-way along Long Beach boulevard, he said, would provide a more practical and useful route with a minimum of dislocation. MOORE DISAGREES However, Councilman George H. Moore, in whose district the freeway terminus will be located, disagreed with Hahn.
“A common nuisance setting himself up against the state’s road experts,” was Moore's label for the young councilman.
Constructing the freeway along the route previously proposed, Hahn said, would mean the uprooting of thousands of homes and the disturbance of business and community life. His resolution pointed out that SC “has a tremendous stake in the development of this city in the intellectual and cultural field.” Earlier this year, state engineers told DT reporters that the Long Beach boulevard route was impractical.
brary. In the panel are Dr. Karl Quimby, the Rev. Gerald B. Harvey, and the Rev. Herbert J. Riley.

Kreiziger Tells Election Details
The proposed use of a preferential voting system in the Associated Women students election Wednes- J day was outlined by AWS President Rita Marie Kreiziger last week.
The system, which has confused many voters and caused distrust of the election, is merely a device to avoid runoffs, according to Miss | Kreiziger. Since a majority vote is needed to elect women to each office, alternate votes are allowed to take the place of subsequent elections.
Voters will grade the candidates for each office by making first, second, third, and other choices.
The woman receiving the least number of “first place” votes is eliminated and ballots cast for her are carefuly screened to tally alternate votes. Beginning with the lowest, each candidate is dropped and her votes tallied the same way until someone gets a majority.
“Actually, the votes would go to the same candidates,” Miss Kreiziger said, “if there were two or three or four runoffs. Alternate, choices do not penalize the candidate that the voter really wants.”
She also explained some technical points about voting for AWS president.
Nicki Hastert is on the ballot for president and Carol Kingsbaker has announced her intention to run as a write-in candidate.
In voting for .Miss Hastert, 5 stamp must be used. Miss Kings baker’s name must be written in and stamped if she is to receive vote. Either pen or pencil is acceptable for the write-in.
German Film Variety' Next Series Classic
“Variety,” a German film direct-1 ed by A. E. DuPqnt and starring Emil Jannings, will be shown by the Film Classics series tonight at 8 in Hancock auditorium.
The photoplay depicts a man and his wife who are carnival trapeze artists. The pair becomes successful and obtains a better job in a big city theater. This involves adding another man to the act whose presence causes the jealous husband to murder his wife.
The murder is the springboard for a tense guilt complex scene in which the camera is attached to the swaying trapeze to film a hazy looking crowd, as if seen from the eyes of the wife slayer.
The film, made in 1925, exhibited a camera technique which Hollywood admired and wished to imitate. A precise use of photographic devices capturing light and shadow was rarely seen at this time and Hollywood strived to create these effects as well as the German models.
The result was the importation of German film makers who developed their ideas on the American screen.
Tickets for the film series are available at the ticket office for $3. I

STEVENSON, Wash., Mar. 26—The nude body of Joann Dewey, 18-year-old hospital worker kidnapped by two men a week ago, was found today by two young fishermen on a gravel bar of the Wind river and authorities pressed a giant search for her abductors.

Shaffer, a member of Unity's feering committee, expressed sur-
prise at the startled reaction to his appeal for Row support.
“Unity is not anti-fraternity,” Shaffer said. “My fratenity. Kappa Alpha Psi, is a member of Interfratemity Council. A number of Unity officers and members belong to fraternities or sororities. Unity has consistently attempted to put school politics on a basis of ideals rather than affiliation or non-affiliation."
Roberts said that today’s Unity meeting was primarily called to hammer out a platform for the party. A candidates meeting will be held later, he said, at which time the party will make its endorsements.
Row endorsements will be made this week.
Roberts said that Unity, in choos-
ing a presidential candidate, will impartially consider Shaffer and Wiggins, Unity party members, as well as any others who may announce their candidacy.
Asked his opinion of Wiggins statement before the Row group that Unity was an “anti-Row party” that had done everything in its power to undermine the row, Roberts smiled.
“Al knew where he was speaking," he said.
Bob Padgett, ASSC president, stressed that today's meeting of his party was open to all interested students.
“It is particularly important that all Unity members attend and participate in shaping a vigorous platform for next year,” he said.

KANSAS CITY, Mar. 26—One of the most intense storms on record ate into the nation’s breadbasket today. Farmers and agriculture agents agreed that the gusty, dust laden winds caused some damage to the wheatlands of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Following up information furnished by the Daily Trojan, administration officials announced that “several'’ suspects involved in the theft of Wednesday’s edition of the DT will appear before the Men’s Judicial court tomorrow.
Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men, in charge of the investigation, is withholding the names of the people involved pending further hearings tomorrow before the judicial body.
1 “We have a number of witnesses set to testify at the hearing,” said Dr. Zech “and expect to get action on the whole case in a minimum of time.”
The decisions and recommendations of the Men's Judicial court will be referred to a faculty committee for review and action.
At least one of the suspects was questioned by Dr. Zech Friday, after a conference with police and DT staffmen.
Dr. Zech said he will follow the entire matter through to the end.
ASSC president Bob Padgett stated that if the culprits are not apprehended by the University, he will personally prefer charges with the police against the person or persons responsible for the theft of the Daily Trojans.”
This would in effect reopen the case for police action. If booked by police, the thieves face charges of robbery and burglary with possible sentences of from one to five years. COULD BE EXPELLED According to Dr. Zech, anyone convicted of the theft by the administration and student disciplinary bodies would face penalties ranging from probation to expulsion from the university.
The 7000 missing copies of the DT were found Thursday scattered over a vacant lot at Arlington avenue and 27th street.
Neighborhood witnesses observed two men, driving a convertible, circle the lot early Thursday morning and finally stop to examine the papers. Minutes later the men were spotted dumping the papers on the steps of the Student Union. Complete descriptions of the pair were obtained, along with names and the license number of the car.
NO MOTIVE ESTABLISHED No motive for the theft could be established immediately. After examining a copy of last Wednesday’s paper. Dr. Zech, who was out of town at the time of the theft, said he could see no motive, political or otherwise, that might involve a news story in that particular edition.
It could be just a prank, or it might be that someone anticipated a story that actually failed to appear.” he said.
Attempts have been made in the past to hi-jack the DT, but usually they have occurred during hotly contested elections. During these periods of high feelings and emotions. the Trojan has made it a practice to place the papers under heavy guard.
A^ reward of $100 dollars was offered by the Unity party for information leading to the conviction of the persons responsible for the themt.
APPEARS AT MEETING One of the missing Daily Trojans mysteriously showed up at the preliminaries to a meeting of the Trojan Knights Wednesday evening at the Sigma Chi house.
Marty Gray, SAM. admitted having a copy of the stolen paper at the meeting. When queried as to the source of the paper, he asserted that “a pledge gave it to me.” He refused to identify the man further.
Gray told a DT editor that he had asked the pledge to get him a copy of the paper, and after the pledge's unsuccessful attempt to secure one from the DT office, 424 Student Union, the pledge finally got one from the Dixon Bell press where the paper is printed.
A check of employees at the press, including Foreman Homer Daggett, showed that there were no copies of the paper at Dixon Bell, and it would be subsequently impossible for any of them to give anyone a copy of that particular paper.

DT Burglary
First Theft On Record
Last Wednesday’s DT burglary marked the first time in the history of the paper that such a theft has been accomplished.
During hot elections in the past, plans to steal politically dangerous editions were headed off before the conspii^tors coud complete them
During last year's contested elections, part of one edition disappeared from the Student Union. But by guarding the papers through the rest of the controversy_ other thefts were prevented.
Interviews with some of SC's old-timers brought no recollection of a past theft.
“This is the first time in history, as far as I know, that such a thing has happened,” said Tom Lawless, managing editor of the Alumni Review.
Marc Goodnow, former director of the journalism department, said that the paper had been threatened several times before, but he could remember no time when it had actually been stolen.
“It has been put under guard during hotly contested elections,” h said.

Volunteer Aid Sought By Anti-Vivisectionists
A call for help in the campus campaign against anti-vivisectionists was issued Friday by Dr. Clinton H. Thienes, head of the department of pharmacology and toxicology.
Dr. Thienes said the Medical Research Society of Southern California, of which he is secretary, is in urgent need of immediate volunteer help. Students wishing to type letters, stuff envelopes, make telephone calls, file, and other types of work were asked to see Dr. Thienes at 919 West 37th street.
The anti-vivisectionists have introduced an ordinance into the City Council which would make it a misdemeanor for laboratories to obtain unclaimed animals from the city pounds.
The Medical Research Society in
turn has requested that an ordinance be passed allowing such groups to obtain the unclaimed dogs and cats.
The whole question will be decided April 19 when a public hearing on the matter will be held. So far, both sides have begun a letter-writing, telephone barrage against the members of the City Council. Students in Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Medicine, received 4000 signatures on their petitions last week requesting the release of the animals.
School of Medicine personnel expressed hope that students would repeat their letter-writing campaign of last October when they wrote over 2000 leeters to the Supervisors when they closed the county pounds.
Row Organizes to Oppose Unity
The Unity party will be opposed in the spring general elections by the Greater University party, a new Row-sponsored organization.

The Daily Trojan has been asked to cover the open meetings.
First big test of the group's solidarity will come tomorrow night when the official party candidates are selected at the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity house at 9.
