T Council Thielen Named A55C Will Consider

New Manager	_
of Handbook Senate Rules Change
Is the independent student representative bound to cast his senate vote in accord with the majority decftion of his council? That question provided lively debate at the Independent council meeting yesterday.

The council expressed Unanimous disapproval of a suggested method lor choosing senate independent representatives. The . proposal provides for one man and one woman representative to be elected from the university council of residences.
Gray designated Harold Carter. Trovet delegate to the council, and Jeanne Middleman, Sophomore council delegate, to serve with himself as an interviewing committee for prospective members-at-large.

Today s Headlines
KTRU Seeks Quick End of Broadcast Ban
KTRU engineers expressed hope today that the FCC imposed suspension will soon end so station operations may be resumed.
“We are investigating several possibilities.” said Bedford MoCoin, station manager, “but can promise nothing definite as yet.”
McCoin said that a letter has been sent to the Intercollegiate Broadcasting system, of which i KTRU is a member, asking for I suggestions and any aid possible. In ■ recent weeks six members of IBS have been suspended from the air because their power output was over prescribed limits.
There is a bill before PCC to increase the allowable strength of carrier current stations, such as KTRU, approximately six fold. Station engineers fear the bill will not be considered until 1951 because of the backlog of FCC business.
Station officials reiterated that the suspension will last only until ; they can again meet F’CC regula-1 tions. The check-up which brought 1 suspension was made at the request of KTRU after it increased output.
“It may be only a week or it may be a month, but we will be back on the air again,” McCoin promised.

Chiang Back in Saddle
FORMOSA, Feb. 28—Chiang Kai-Shek, China’s general-, issimo for 22 years, returns to the presidency for the third time tomorrow, determined to lead his all-but-conquered Nationalist government back to the mainland.
Chiang. as president and head of the Supreme Defense council, will be commander-in-chief of the armed forces, a post he never fully relinquished even during his 13 months of “retirement.”
Drugged Leopard Quits
OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 28—A once-ferocious leopard, full of drugged meat and possibly romantic notions, literally collapsed into captivity today and stretched out in a deep sleep at peace with the world.
The big cat, which had outsmarted professional and amateur hunters, dogs, and U.S. Marines for more than 60 hours, was captured at the edge of the pit from which he escaped last Saturday.
Acheson Condones Hiss
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28—Secretary of State Dean G. Acheson said today he does not “condone in any way” the crimes charged against Alger Hiss. But he said Christian ethics impel him to stand by Hiss despite the former State Department official’s perjury conviction.
Navy Tries Mo's Skipper
NORFOLK, Feb. 28—Squaring his shoulders before a naval court of inquiry, Capt. William D. Brown, 47, assumed full blame for running the mighty battleship Missouri onto a Hampton Roads shoal Jan. 17.
Some bitterness crept into Brown’s dramatic statement. But he asked .that three fellow* officers and defendants be dealt with lightly and that his own “ordeal” be made a Navy object lesson.
Chairmen Discuss Rushing Problems
The need of a workable plan for fraternity rushing to prevent recurrences of past cases of questionable tactics, was discussed at a meeting of fraternity rush chairmen yesterday at Theta Xi fraternity house.
Committees were formed to write letters to other universities and colleges for suggestions, study the IFC constitution, and set up a plan for visiting local high schools to orient students on aspects of university fraternity life.
It was pointed out that before the war there were 18 fraternities on campus while now there are 35. A iraternity spokesman said this will lead to a struggle in acquiring both quantity and quality in pledges.
plans will be presented for the reduction of Senate representation and control over spending of student body funds. A recent Senate survey set 12 as the figure favored for the size of the new Senate.
PROXY FACES DEBATE
A large part of the debate is expected to center around the elimination of the proxy. The frequent use of this device has led to a demand that it be abandoned since it is not used in many deliberative bodies.
The rules committee has also recommended that one vote be insufficient to require a roll call vote. This was done to speed up Senate action that has been slowed by 15 roll call votes this calendar year.
Al Wiggins, rules committee chairman, has announced that the committee will not specify the number of people necessary to demand a roll call but will let the Senate decide upon the number.
Under this procedure the Senate nominates a number of figures and votes on them, considering the highest figure first.
The chief issue at stake in this proposal is whether the minority’s right to go on record should be protected, or whether the action of the Senate can be speeded up without affecting tihese rights.
SEEK ALL-U INITIATIVE
The third proposal is the constitutional amendment calling for the initiative, as sponsored by Senator George Bermant. At present students do not have the power to initiate measures outside of the Senate.
Bob Reynolds, election commissioner. will report to the Senate on the special election to be held Mar. 14-15 to fill the vacant seat of Richard Podmore.
Trans-Atlantic Hug Heard Saturday
SC and the University of Oslo will come together Saturday by the medium of transatlantic telephone on the “Carnation Family Party" when a Norwegian coed at SC and a Trojane at Oslo exchange messages with their families at home.
Connie Hug. former SC student, will talk with her parents from the home of Anne-Grete Berg, 17-year-old freshman exchange student. Miss Berg, who came to SC on a Panhellenic scholarship last fall, will talk to .her folks in Oslo from a Hollywood radio station.
Miss Hug will break the news of her engagement to Jens Berg, brother of Miss Berg, to her parents during the course of the conversation. She met Berg when he came home for the Christmas holidays from a school in Switzerland.
The program will be released locally over KNX at 12:30 p.m.
