Group Studies Plans to Help Alien Students
Six steps which could be taken to improve the lot of SC’s financially “devaluated'’ foreign students were outlined Friday by the chairman of an ASSC Senate committee studying their plight.
An appeal could be made directly to the U.S. Immigration authorities, George Bermant, head, of a three-man emergency committee to investigate the problem, and effect on foreign students, of the British pound's devaluation, said.
The committee, consisting of Bermant, Robert McClendon and Jack Shaffer, was impowered to recommend to the university what course of action should be pursued.
Appeal to the immigration officials might be made in requests for relaxation of restrictions which prevent foreign students from filing either part or full time jobs, Bermant said-
Parallel to measures aiding international visitors in securing work were suggestions that courses be speeded up wherever possible, allowing foreign students to finish in less than 15 weeks: allowing them to take less than 12 units, to facilitate outside work, and securing scholarship aid from new sources outside the university.
Also named as a possible measure was listing all other universities in pound sterling countries which offer the same curricula as SC. It might be suggested 'Bermant said, that foreign studer^s dependent on the British pound look for schools offering facilities similar to SC’s in nations of the British Commonwealth.

Card System Ends Trojans' jobless Line
A new placement procedur® which eliminates last year’s long lines is being used this year by the University Employment bureaii. Mrs. Florence B. Watt, bureau director, announced Friday.
The new procedure is a simpH one. A student fills out a McBee Kc-ysort card on which he indicates three job choices. When an opening occurs the cards are used xo determine which student is beit qualified to fill the position. The applicant is then notified of thc opening.
Mrs. Watt warns that applications submitted iast semester must be reactivated if they are to be kept in the bureau’s files this year.
Positions offered by the bureau are either full-time career jobs for graduates or full- or part-time non-career jobs for students.
Mrs. Martha Morey, head of non-; career jobs, takes applications every morning in 320 Student Union. People desiring full-time career jobs may see Mrs. Mona Diehl, Ruth Madsen, or Dorothy Laprevotte any weekday.

ASSC presidential candidates squaring off for their last big campaign oratory, delivered 10-minute speeches and participated in a question and answer period at the all-U assembly in Bovard, Friday.
Freshman class candidates also gave their acceptance speeches at the assembly. -
This election is the first to be re-run in six years. In 1943, the ASSC Senate yielded to student pressure and reversed its decision upholding the election of Jack Williams. A fact-finding committee disclosed that 10 per cent of the ballots it checked had been fraudulently cast. When the election was run again, Bill Caldwell defeated Williams.
Words Fly At Bovard Rally Quiz Session
by EARL TORGERSON
Ed Vierheilig and Bob Padgett, ranking fauna among SC’s political species, eclipsed a barrage of fledgling oratory Friday when they followed eight freshman presidential candidates onto the Bovard stage at a “last word” all-U assembly.
Aiding the two ASSC presidential candidates in fitting a battlecry to the campaign were a scattering of questioners who pelted the pair with queries.
Prompted by the badgering, Vier
Fast Moving Unity Board OK'd at Last
Padgett Confident Of Victory As Campaigning Ends
Interviewed on election eve, Bob Padgett, Unity candidate for ASSC president, expressed confidence that “the past trend indicated among students at SC will continue to grow, and bring a Unity victory.”
“We feel our victory is in the offing,” said Padgett. He expressed the hope that all voters will examine both platforms carefully and inform themselves of the qualifications of each candidate so that they may go to the polls well informed and able to cast their votes for the best candidate.
“Voters will find no ‘weasel words’ in my platform,” he added.
Padgett felt the campaign had gone smoothly so far and that the election would follow suit.
He said he would be glad to compare platforms with his opponent, and issued a challenge to “debate in a free forum type of meeting the issues of the campaign at any place or time designated by my opponent.”
heilig and Padgett took turns squeezing the last words into the final speechmaking session of the pre-election period.
Even those still dozing from the after-effects of freshman political discourse tilted forward to catch Padgett’s blast at a questioner who demanded:
"Where do you think a man 32-years-old, with a wife and child would get the time required for the duties of president?” ’
The Unity Party candidate at first refused to reply because of the personal nature cf the ques tion. The man in the audience insisted.
“If you want to know my background,” Padgett stated hotly, “I’m Anglo-Saxon . . . yes, I’m married very happily married . . . and may be older.
"But I’ve got an excuse for four of those years of mine.” he continued, facing the questioner from the edge of the stage. “I hope you have an excuse for some of yours.
It was Padgett who got in the very last word—a restatement of his policy toward the fraternity system. (They could be improved, he said.) The quiz session, however, gave Vierheilig an opportunity to re-emphasize his owm favorite plank—active cooperation with the administration.
Included in Padgett's short speech before the question and answer per iod was a tribute to Ellen Potter, acting ASSC president. She acted as moderator during the Q-and-A firew orks and introduced the speakers, including the freshman candidates.
Called to the stage for a two-minute talk were Dick Calhoun, Wendell Casey, Don Daves, Alec Kerr, Phil Ramser. Bob Richmond. Ernie Cooper and John Ward, frosh presidential hopefuls.
CAI Knew
Russ A-Bomb on Time
“President Truman’s announcement of the detection of an atomic explosion in Russia shows that American scientists were right when they predicted that Russia would develop an atomic bomb not later than 1950,” Council on Atomic Implications spokesmen reported last Friday.
“Now it is clear that an atomic armaments race is upon us,” Dr.
the CAI said Langmuir attempted to analyze the various stages in the atomic armaments race.
According to Langmuir, there would be four separate stages in this hectic race. “In the first stage the United States alone would have atomic bombs and will accumulate a stockpile . .. In the second stage one or more other nations will have begun to produce atomic
Unity party’s “now you see it» now you don’t” campaign board came to its final resting place Friday near its original position.
Legality of the board was contested immediately when it was first set up last Tuesday. It was removed soon after its appearance and Unityman, Frank O’Sullivan formed a committee to protest the ban.
A meeting of Dean of students Bernard Hyink, Counselor of Men Albert Zech, and Counselor of Women Helen Hall Moreland OK'd the displaying of the board in the patio of the Student Union. O'Sullivan then requested, and granted, permission to display the board in front of Bovard.
Friday, O'Sullivan was requested to move the display from in front of Bovard because it interfered with the repair crew working on the building. The board was then moved to the sidewalk on University avenue south of the Student Union.
Congested sidewalks soon forced the committeemen .to again move, this time just a few feet, over the hedge and onto the adjoining lawn. O’Sullivan said he plans to run the display concurrently with the ASSC student body election scheduled for today, tomorrow, and Wednesday.
Unity Carries On
“Regardless of the outcome” of the ASSC presidential race, a membership drive started last Tuesday by the Unity party will be continued all this week, according to Frank O'Sullivan, Unity committeeman.
This was decided late Friday when a dozen Unity stouthearts ended a busy day with a meeting in the Senate chamber.
Bob Padgett, presidential candidate, gathered with members of his steering committee to discuss outcome of the day’s political rally and to plan for this week’s events.
No. 1 event, is, of course, the election which will start today. No.

Vierheilig Smiles On Election Eve
Ed Vierheilig was smiling ana confident he carried with him the faith of the Trojan student body as he was interviewed on the eve of the three-day balloting period.
Queried on the progress of the election, Vierheilig replied that he thought “everything was running honestly and smoothly,” and that he was certain his “fellow-students had faith in him and would elect him ASSC president.”
“Too little emphasis has been put on experience and past record in this campaign,” said Vierheilig For the wisest decision students should compare my record of serv-Continued on Page 4

frequently attempted to interpret the meaning of this new form of armament competition. The council has long suggested that people read statements by American scientists published in “One World Or None.”
Quoting from an article by Nobel prize winner Irving Langmuir,
In the third stage, according to Langmuir, many countries would have bombs enough to destroy all the cities of a potential enemy. In the fourth stage, he said, “atomic bombs or radioactive poisons distributed over the country might destroy practically the whole area of the country.’*
