Other provisions call for a change in the duties of vice-president, formation of a standing committee to coordinate student activities, and a change in qualifications for candidates for ASSC offices.

Secrecy Veils DT Hearing
A veil of secrecy surrounded yesterday's hearing of the Men’s Judicial council investigating the theft of last Wednesday’s edition of the Daily Trojan.
It is expected that the court's findings will be turned over to the Student Activities committee, a fa-1 culty organization, today.
Dr. Albert Zech. counselor of men, said that he hopes to “have this whole case wound up” by tomorrow.
Under the faculty-student judi-: cial arrangement, the Student Activities committee must pass on i the findings of the men's council.
Three DT men testified at yes-I terday's closed hearing, but under ( the present judicial setup at SC. the trial proceedings and the names of the suspects cannot be released without permission of the Student j Activities committee.
Members of the mens council have been checking the stories of neighborhood witnesses in hopes of learning more about the circumstances surrounding the theft, it was learned today.
Approximately 7000 copies of the Wampus were stolen last night from a storage bin in the university incinerator on 37th place. University officials believe, however, that the humor magazine will go on sale tomorrow according to schedule.
An early development in the case was an offer by Joe Skol-nik, Huntington Park junk dealer, to return the missing journals in return for S1.98 with “no questions asked.” Skolnik said he has inside information concerning the whereabouts of the Wampuses. ASSC✓Prexv Bob Padgett has of-fepJtl him $1.50 on behalf of Unity *»arty, but the junkman apparently is playing hard to get.
Student Put Strike Blame On Officials
Latest development in the LACC student executive council walkout was an hour-long rally Monday at which the 16 council resiignees presented their views to the LACC president.
No specific agreements were made but a mutual understanding probably will be reached in the near future, according to Mark Gilman, former student body president.
Gilman stated that the executive council walkout was the direct result of administration interference in council discussion. When the I council was considering a proposal to send a letter to the University of California protesting its stand on loyalty oaths, the administration stopped all further council dis- j cussion on the matter.
“We wish to make it clear,” said 1 Gilman, “that the basic issue in- | volved here is the interference with free discussion in the student ex-

“I am the first to realize the frailties of the church,” he added. “But it is our only hope of getting together where we can move in one direction—toward the brotherhood of man under the fatherhood of God."
Though students’ schedules might be cramped, he advised them to take off an hour a week for church to stop and regroup their thoughts and take a long look before digging in again.
Toward this end he urged that Protestant groups make churches increasingly available to worshippers so that they can take advan- ; tage of the church without limiting 1 other important activities.
