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.

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.

WILL LOSE RAPPORT “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. tionaires. “Since permission to examine or even put the council to work on the files to obtain the breakdown has been denied me by Allen Arthur (vice-chairman of the Great-er-U committee).

HEAR REPORTS The three “traveling” observers heard approximately 100 representatives of more than 100.000 California college students discuss: 1. A purchase card system which enables students to obtain price reductions on services or goods bought on or near the campus community. 2. The 1952 World Youth congress i sponsored by the International Union of students. 3. Academic freedom complaints | submitted by the student govern- ! ment of Los Angeles City college. 4. A student Bill of Rights which defines the minimum rights of stu- ; dents in the college community.

UNITED CDASS “Such a course,” Mrs. Haas said, “would serve as a strong cohesive week when the Trojan Knights and the Independent Knights vied for credit of the restoration.

A basketball dinner honoring the LACC 1949 National Championship team and a freshman class dance were canceled because student funds importance of scholarship, improve In making the survey on which the recommendations are based, Mortar Board queried eight large universities on their methods of introducing new students to college life. Trojan faculty members, student leaders, and freshmen were also consulted, and a poll was con- I ducted among representative cross sections of each grade level of the university on the desirability of the proposed course. Orientation courses already in operation as part of the curriculum oi other universities were also studied. COURSE OUTLINED Personality orientation would deal with such topics as problems of self-direction, getting acquainted and making friends, distribution of time, and life values in college studies. Study orientation would cover the of a Unity steering committee session Friday. O’Sullivan aso announced the following appointments: Allen A.

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. ment in study methods, conditions for effective study, effective attitudes and control of attention, note taking, and using the library. 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.

During the first shooting “The Wind,” a Film Classics pre- of the film cameras picked up so much dust that nothing else could be seen on the screen. This re- ; quired expensive retakes but the finished product was one of “rusty nail” realism, a refreshing contrast | to the usual artificial plush sets of Hollywood. The film, one of the last silent j pictures, uses the elements and in- j animate objects to add to the drama. The acting of Lillian Gish and I Lars Hanson is considered among the best of the silent screen. George Prusseli, GUP chairman, announced that other GUP candidates would be nominated Tuesday when another meeting will be held. Class to Hear Ex-NAM Head For those who will learn, Bach's music offers insight into the structure of his art. Every listener of his music is offered a glimpse into the thinking processes of mankind s greatest musical genius. Professor Ingolf Dahl's reading of the music was expert and ever faithful to the wishes of the composer. This quality of faithfulness, on the conductor’s part, is fast becoming non-existent, especially in contemporary interpretations of Bach, and it is with real pleasure sentation to be shown tonight at 8 in Hancock auditorium. “The Wind,” made in 1928. tells the story of a city girl who marries a Montana rancher and returns with him to the hardships of a rural life. The frustration and terror she feels from the endless wind and flying dust is almost enough to break up her marriage, but love finally triumphs over the forces of nature. The film was directed by Victor Seastrom and stars Lillian Gish, Lars Hanson, and Montague Love.

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.

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. ment in study methods, conditions for effective study, effective attitudes and control of attention, note taking, and using the library.

Class to Hear Ex-NAM Head For those who will learn, Bach's music offers insight into the structure of his art. Every listener of his music is offered a glimpse into the thinking processes of mankind s greatest musical genius. Professor Ingolf Dahl's reading of the music was expert and ever faithful to the wishes of the composer. This quality of faithfulness, on the conductor’s part, is fast becoming non-existent, especially in contemporary interpretations of Bach, and it is with real pleasure sentation to be shown tonight at 8 in Hancock auditorium. “The Wind,” made in 1928. tells the story of a city girl who marries a Montana rancher and returns with him to the hardships of a rural life. The frustration and terror she feels from the endless wind and flying dust is almost enough to break up her marriage, but love finally triumphs over the forces of nature.

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. |
