Students Get 'Bird From. Trapped Bird
A pigeon, trapped in the student lounge gave janitors and students the bird yesterday when their efforts to free him were of no avail.
Flitting from di-apery rod to cross-beam and vice-versa, the pigeon, which had flown into the lounge through an open window early in the afternoon, glanced down apprehensively at Troymen.
Students, who had more cause for apprehension than the bird, fingered loose paps/s nervously.
Remarked one student, “I always knew the DT would come in handy some day.”
Janitors, nonplussed by the activities, said they could shoo the bird out after students left the lounge.
Neutra Encore On Housing Due Tonight
The problem of luring prox'e£-sic -1 skill for the building of low cost housing will be discussed by world-famous architect Richard Neutra tonight in Harris auditorium at 7.
SC Hodcarriers Not Affected By AFL Strike
The one-day old AFL hodcarriers and building laborers stirke in Los Angeles will not delay completion of Founders hall, according to Supt. Edward Ogle.
J. A. McNeil company, buiders of the LAS structure, is a member of the Associated General Contractors, an organization which has a “no strike” agreement with the building trades union concerned.
By terms of this agreement, the union guarantees that there will be no strike,, slow-down, or stoppage of work on any construction job done by AGC members, Ogle said. If a strike should occur it would be outlawed and subject to suit.
Since contractors may hire nonunion labcr if AFL cannot furnish the men, strike possibilities are further lessened.
Meanwhile work has been stepped up on the LAS building with the settlement of the sand and gravel strike. Concrete pouring was resumed Tuesday and Foreman Charles Gauthey announced that all his concrete workers wer eback on the job.
About one-half of the men laid off by the past strike have returned. Elmer Wegner, carpenter foreman whose crew is most effected by the slow-down, estimated that all men will be back at work next week.
Accusing the Senate of trying to “usurp” his administrative authority, President Bob Padgett lashed out at Row senators who for the second straight time blocked approval of his selection for Trojan Chest chairman.
The goat this time was George “Buck” Sherlock who drew fierce criticisms from Betty Garfinkel, Cal Schmidt, and Howard Kotler.
Two weeks ago Row fire was heaped on Lois Wollenweber whom Padgett had appointed as cochairman along with Sherlock. At that time, the appointments were tabled after Schmidt leveled personal criticism at Miss Wollenweber.
Padgett withdrew Miss Wollen-weber’s name from consideration, but left Sherlock, who had escaped Row criticism. His appointment was defeated "1-8.
“If you want to stifle the wheels of progress,” Padgett told the Senate, “that’s your business. I will continue to bring :Tou appointments. If you continue to turn them down, you will jeopardize the Tro-jaji Chest drive.”
tKotler had an answer for this, but he left himself wide open.
“I suggested an alteniate choice to you this week which you could have put before the Senate. It is not our fault if tne wheels of progress are stopped.”
I will not have my prerogative to make appointments usurped by a legislative body,” Padgett blasted back.
Disapproval of Sherlock followed the same pattern that has been
by Bob Human and Jerry Boyd
used all year to fight first Ellen Potter's and then Padgett’s appointments. Row senators have continually held . r complete knowledge of campus figures is the key to be a successful chairman.
“The success c the Trojan Chest drive depends on how many peo-

pie the chairman knows,” Kotler said in starting the attack on Sherlock.
Warren Scoilin didn't agree.
“Just because a man does not fit into a political clique, he should not be kept /from acting in a job for which he is well fitted.”
Schmidt dwelt on Sherlock’s supposed lack of familiarity with SC activities.
“While Sherlock may know everything that goes on in Long Beach,” Schmidt said after Padgett had
'listed Sherlock's accomplishments at Long Beach city college, “he obviously doesn't know very much about SC.”
NSA reports were delayed until later in the session by parliamentary battling. Bob Flower, first r* the delegates to report, submitted a summary of the congress that was declared unsatisfactory by Larry 3ub. The report consisted of the preamble of the NSA constitution. read by Flower, ar.d a printed report that had been written by the debgates from th* Uni-! versity of Santa Clara.
The affiliation with NSA move-: ment received a severe jolt when both Kotler and Bill Gray tore , NSA apart with long lists of its j shortcomings.
i Both intimated that the NSA congress was permeated with communistic elements. Gray singled out for particular criticism the congress’ overworking of the discrimination problem.
“Discrimination is not the foremost problem of today,” Gray said, “yet this factor was stressed on every occasion and was injected into every issue.
“NSA is under the control of minority groups,” Gray went on. “The administration vetoed our affiliation last year with NSA because of the communistic influence. They would veto it again for the same reason.”
Gray listed three questions every (Continued on Page 4)

Critic Lauds Singers at Noon Concert
by OWEN ANDERSON
Unique tribute was paid to the superb talents of Opera Workshop students yesterday when the audience doubled its enthuiastic numbers during the Music at Noon concert.
The audience was larger at the finish of each operatic aria as students passing Bovard auditorium remained to be thrilled by the songs of Director Carl Ebert's audition-winning singers.
Not even the overlapping of the program into the next hour diminished the size of the applauding audience.
The uniform excellence of the singers makes it hard to describe the concert in anything but superlatives. The dramatic content, the polished interpretations of the singers, and the topflight quality of their voices combined to make this performance a musical masterpiece.
Tenor Hendrik de Boer's performance of the dying Florestan’s aria from Beethoven's “Fidelio” was a dramatic interpretation whose impact caused listeners to fill the auditorium with successive waves of enthusiastic applause.
De Boer, a graduate of the American Conservatory of Music, has given concerts in 43 of the states.
Sponsored by the Teaching Institute of Economics, Neutra’s speech is titled “Housing: A Planetary Problem.” Attendance is open to everyone.
“Low rental housing for the masses of population,” according to Neutra, “needs the professional attention here r. America that it has received in Denmark, C w’eden, v or Uruguay.”
“The United States is farther advanced ;n the production of autos and jet planes than it is with dwellings for the many,” Neutra explained.
“Housing is a commodity with the broadest consumership all around the globe. Yet, it is technologically lee- developed, less served, and politically less favored than other products which are neither as essential nor a; vital,” the architect said.
Born in Vienna, Neutra settled in Los Angeles 27 years ago and has since done many local homes in the furctional style for which he is famous. Favoring prefabrication methods, he has used new materials and designs in an effort to give low-income groups fc.tter housing.
The speecl' tonight will be the architect’s second at SC this week. “How Design Environment of Today Conditions Life,” was the title of his talk Tuesday.
Solon Demands Right to Answer
Germany Faces Dilemna—Marcuse
bv UNITED PRESS
Assemblyman John W. Evans today demanded of the Senate Interim committee the right to answer charges that he had received a $75 weekly retainer from George McLain’s pension group. Two witnesses yesterday told the committee that they, as bookkeepers for the Citizens’ committee, drew checks for Evans.
The Assemblyman’s request led Chairman Fred Weybret of Salinas to call an executive session of the committee to discuss whether Evans would be allowed to testify.
Afterwards Weybret said that Evans could come before the committee tomorrow provided he waived immunity as a legislator 48 and also immunity from testifying against himself.
Evans told reporters the checks sent him by the Citizens’ committee were used to conduct meetings and pay for luncheons for legislators in trying to promote pension legislation.

Whether to be free, or whether to have wealth and influence is the dilemma that the German intellectual faces today. Dr. Ludwig Marcuse, professor of German, said yesterday.
He declared there are only two powers on Jie continent of Europe today—Russia in the east and America in the west. ‘The basic difference between the intellectual ir. the east and the intellc t\al in the west is that in the west he lias freedom but no influence, while in the east he has no freedom at al! but great influence and good care from the state,” he said.
Forum Urges A-Bomb Plan
Spirited debate and positive views on armament control marked the first ASSC forum in Bowne hall yesterday.
Participants were Dr. J. Eugene Harley, professor of political science; Dr. Robert B. Pettengill, director of the Teaching Institute of Economics; and Dr. Harvey Seifert, professor of religion.
The speakers made short opening remarks in turn and then dissected each other’s views, prompted by questions from the audience and suggestions by Dr. Ross N. Berkes, moderator.
Dr. Harley said that the “world’s $64 question” is control of the atomic bomb. He cited the Baruch plan, favored by a majority of the nations of the UN, as the best yet proposed. Any plan for control of weapons should be worked out in the UN, he said.
Dr. Pettengill said that alternative plans should be considered to reduce the probability of another war. No further progress can be made in the UN because two votes on the Security council block adoption of any plan but Russia’s.
This impasse will increase the atomic armament race which, if continued, will “inevitably bring us all to destruction,” he said.
“The United States should ask nations outside the Russian orbit to share in a plan for • ontrol. To prove our sincerity, we should ask them to share the knowledge, authority, and responsibility,” Dr. Pettengill said.
Dr. Seifert said he favors disarmament, but that it is impractical without an end to the cold war and a change in American foreign policy.
Russia will not surrender to end the cold war, he said, so an immediate perici of negotiation -nd readjustment of relation.' with Russia is necessary.
The program was arranged by the ASSC forum committee, headed by June Tapp, political science major.
SLAVKO VORKAPICH To Shoot Film
SC Students Look Old,
%
Says Agent
“Most students looked too old,” Norman Gray, casting agent for thecampus-produced motion picture “Alma Mater,” said yesterday.
Selection of the campus types needed for the film ended last night. Director of the picture Slavko Vorkapich, .head of the cinema department, will shoot the student scenes at 6:30 a.m. tomorrow and Monday by the animal reliefs on Hancock foundation.
Gray was searching for the “Collegiate kid” type of student, but found only nine of the many applicants suitable. “I hope to get permission to block off the street between University avenue and Hoover boulevard. This way I can allow several students in who are looking for a parking place and use them in the film,” he said. “I only hope they don’t mug the camera,” he added.
The film must be shot a dawn to get effective shadows.on the Hancock foundation wall.
The completed picture will be in color and will run about 20 minutes. It will b» shown to students and alumni. T.he production is sponsored by the department of development.
Beyl to Arrange Mascot - Banner Swaping Place
Exchange of Oskie bear, Cal’s errant mascot, for the SC banner will not take place in the Coliseum Saturday.
“UCLA's rally chairman won’t let us in the place,” said Knight Ron Beyl, who is making arrar._ - ents for the trade.
The Bruin official refused a request for a vehicle pass needed to take the borrowed National Guard tank and cars carrying members of Lambda	Alpha fraternity
into the -tadium, Beyl said.
Original plans were to include the ceremony in half-time activities. Beyl offered to schedule the trade before the game, but this suggestion was also turned down.
REFUSAL EXPLAINED
The refusal was explained as being necessary bccause of a parade of UCLA Homecoming floats before ; the game, and half-time ceremonies j including crowning the Homecom- : Ing queen and marching by four bands.
“Now ve are in a spot,” Beyl j said. “Oskie has to go back. I'm I going to call Cal and see if we can get together some other place, possibly in front of Tommy Trojan. We’ll make the swap—even if it has to be in front of the City hall.”
Dr. Albert Zech, counselor cl men, confirmed Beyl’s statement that Oskie would leave the campus Saturday.
“Bert Coffey, Knight president, has assured me that Oskie will no longer be with us after Saturday. The exchange for the banner will be made, and that should end the matter,” he said.
POLICE TO WATCH
WHen asked about possible retaliation by Cal rooters, Dr. Zech said that he had checked into the rumored purchase of a large quantity of blue and gold paint by non-pan.ters in the San Fr-.ncisco region.
“I hope it is just a rumor,” he | said. “However, I have asked our old friends in the University police station to put on a few extra men and a car or two to keep a rather sharp watch or the campus Friday night. They have agreed to do so.

20,000 Car Garage Needed
by JACK YELTON
SC's parking problem drive, which is progressing rapidly toward a complete standstill, will receive no appreciable help until a mythical 20.000 car garage at Menlo and Exposition becomes a reality.
This is the gist of a day-long DT investigation of the university’s current No. 1 problem. The investigation disclosed that approximately 500 parking tickets are being distributed . to Trojans each month.
Also brought to light during the Querying of officials on and off campus was the fact that the state of California neatly blocked a recent university attempt to alleviate the local headache.
“I tried to get a lease on the large lot at Menlo and Exposition, so that SC could operate it free-of-charge as a student parking lot,”
Elron D. Phillips, university busi- I site is the only move that would ness manager, said yesterday, “but give large-scale relief to the park-my proposition was refused by the ing problem.

chance to lease and operate the lot Last spring SC turned down a on a charge basis because of the difficulty of maintaining operations on an exact non-profit basis. The state then leased it to the present operator, a private party.
Phillips agreed with the other faculty and student leaders that t.he construction of a 2 or 3-deck garage on the M»rilo and Expositior
park, plans to construct such a garage “sometime in the future,” and that it would be leased to SC for use on week days.
Unfortunately, this department is low on funds at the present, and has shelved such plans temporarily.
The business manager revealed that the campus parking lots operated by the university during Coliseum football games were not in the same classification as the Menlo-Exposition area. The former property belongs to SC, and fees charged for public parking do not affect the non-profit status.
Advised by Phillips that the money taken in from these lots on
game days goes into a loan fund, the DT contacted Robert D. Fisher, financial vice-president, in an pffort to obtain more exact information for its readers.
In answer to a question about which loan fund was the recipient of parking lot profits, Fisher replied: “Let us say that the money from these lots goes into a general stuoent body loan fund. This is all I have to say, and I refuse to give ar.y specific information as to the income from the lots, distribution of profits to various funds, or anything else.”
One prominent university official suggested giving students the faculty parking lots back of Bridge hall and restricting street parking to faculty members, who would have marked curb areas to facilitate (Continued On Page 4)
