rovets Join UCLA LACC in VA Protest
The cry against VA cutbacks on training personnel for ehabilitation students which was initiated by LACC students ast week has been taken up by Trovets and Calvets of UCLA.
Plans for joint action were drawn at a meeting here Fri-iay afternoon by Al Asa-Dorian, Trovet president; H. E.
-+ Warsh, LACC; George Farvar, Cal-vet president; and William G. Amour, UCLA.
Principal action will involve/taking a firm stand against the failure of Congress to appropriate funds for pay increases voted to federal employees last year. Asa-Dorian said. The resulting lack of funds has forced the VA to lay off needed

Another tussle over the results of the Greater University committee’s parking survey arose last week when Burnell Grossman, member of the committee and vice-president of the LAS council, submitted figures on orientation questions to the council.
George Woolery, LAS president, who had asked for the figures, said he is not satisfied with the tabulations.
Woolery announced Friday that he planned to use the tabulations in discussion with the LAS advisement office and counseling service j about a program of orientation for next year.
He said he Ls interested only in j the opinions of LAS students on I orientation as shown by the parking survey.
According to Grossman the figures presented- to the council represent the opinions of about 50 per cent of the LAS students. The tab- course. Rae Haas, president of the ulations were based on 2037 ques- organization, said.

The immediate result of the meeting was a letter sent to Congressional and VA representatives. Governor Warren, and President Truman demanding that action be taken to approprate money to meet obligations arising from the pay increases voted in Congress.
NEXT STEP IS
“The next step in the battle is a general meeting for all Trovets, rehabs. and veterans who are interested in the welfare of their fellows and themselves,” Asa-Dorian said.
Under present reduction orders two representatives, Thomas Durham and Fred H. Sparks will be retained at SC on a four-day visiting schedule. All P. 4. 16 files will be sent to the central office in Los Angeles.
“This cutback affects the rehabs now.” Asa-Dorian added; “but before long it will be the P. L. 46 veterans who begin to lose their benefits and the rights guaranteed them under the GI Bill of Rights.

“Also we feel that reducing the number of training officers for rehabs and moving the files downtown will lose the rcpport and efficiency which has been the big factor in the success of the VA training program at SC.
“Without this help rehabs will become discouraged. There is a strong possibility that they may require an extension of time, thus overcoming the supposed savings. In several cases rehabs may be unable to continue their training and will become wards of the states, which is the very thing the enactment of this law sought to prevent.

Orientation courses already in operation as part of the curriculum oi other universities were also studied.

The LACC student government protest against curtailment of free discussion has been handed to Dr. Morton Renshaw. newly appointed dean of student personnel. Dr. Howard S. McDonald, president of the college announced today.
Pending Dr. Renshaw's action, a “stony silence” prevailed, according j to Mark Gilman, resigned student body president. He stated his council's cause in resigning as a quest for the “right of free discussion and the right to participate and show the student viewpoint in decisions made by the administration.”
“I’ve tried democracy and it won't work, so I'm trying autocracy,” Dr. McDonald was quoted as saying by Gilman.
“Free discussion is essential to carry out the duties of our offices 1 and thereby represent the students,” I said Gilman.
Final settlement of the dispute will be attempted after Easter vacation when the college presidents advisory council and Dr. Renshaw will meet to discuss the issue.
Benedict Ray, assistant dean in charge of men's activities and student council sponsor, said the council was neglecting its duties in student government by discussing world affairs. The council maintained that it placed matters concerning student government on the agenda first, which Ray agreed was true.
McDonald further stated that the council must submit an agenda of council ipeetings prior to the meeting so that he could approve or veto proposed topics for discussion, according to Gilman.

Under the general heading of vocational orientation, new students would study the development of a life philosophy, vocational and avo-cational planning, and self-evaluation.
GUIDANCE NEEDED
“This project was undertaken by Mortar Board,” Mfs. Haas said, “because the members felt that there existed a very definite need for a guidance program available to freshmen students for the purpose of aiding their difficult adaptation to the college level of study and learning.”
While intended primarily for freshmen, the course would also be valuable to transfer students, she j said.

A! Wiggins, Greater University party candidate, offered Friday to debate with all comers his quaifi-cations for the top ASSC position.
Ed Stegman, aspirant for Unity’s presidential nomination, promptly accepted the offer. Stegman said he was “willing to meet Wiggins J anywhere, anytime.”
The GUP hopeful made the challenge before a group of DT reporters in the Knight office during a “press conference” arranged by George Woolery, Wiggins’ temporary campaign manager.
If elected, Wiggins said, he would fuly support the not-yet-written GUP platform. He said that GUP would campaign for both Row and Independent support, but admitted that Independents at present had

feasible method of representation can be worked out.”
Sororities are also without voting rights in GUP because “they have never requested voting rights,” Wiggins said.
He will not seek endorsement of his candidacy from any other political group on campus, the Senate parliamentarian said. He said he “didn't know anything’’ about the newly formed Student party, but believed that it would probably be a short-lived organization.
He took a dim view of the tentative Unity party platform which appeared in Friday’s DT.
“More consideration is needed on the proposal incorporate the ASSC before action either way can be recommended. In a Unity-conducted survey, students indicated that they wanted more information on NSA before deciding whether to join or not to join.”
The Unity platform called for the incorporation of the ASSC and immediate affiliation with NSA.
The presidential hopeful said he had made no commitments to anyone concerning prospective appointments if he is elected.
He said he had no indication that the secret political fraternity, TNE, still existed on campus. If it did. he said, he would “strongly disavow” any support it might offer him.
