Ban Bill Stern From SG Games, Larry Bub Urges
by JERRY BOYD and BOB HUMAN
NBC sports announcer Bill Stern had the fire of Senate criticism heaped upon him last night for the manner in which he broadcast last Saturday’s SC-Notre Dame football game.
Stem’s broadcast was termed “the worst interpretation of a football game I have ever heard” by Larry Bub, who introduced a resolution asking the administration to see that Stem never again is allowed*--
Unity Senator Bolts Party Line Over NSA
Dissension reared its head within the Unity party steering committee when George Bermant, senator-at-large elected on the Unity platform refused, at a recent committee meeting, to be a “rubber-stamp senator.”
The flareup occurred when Bermant refused to “blindly

The support of the Gabriel Heater, Walter Winchell, and Frances Langford programs is also being sought by the Trovets.
The big sleeper event designed to happen on University avenue today has been cancelled by decision of the administration.
ENCOURAGEMENT GIVEN Albert S. Raubenheimer, educational vice-president, issued the following words of encouragement to the Trovets:
“I am very glad to know that the Trovets are organizing this second drive to reach the goal that they set for themselves last year, for the creation of a scholarship fund as a Living Memorial in honor of their comrades who gave their lives in the last war. The previous drive met with fair support. Surely we all want to do our part to Insure the complete success of the present drive. How could we better honor those who have given their lives than to assist in providing for the education of their children?”
Bob Padgett. ASSC president, delivered this proclamation:
“The Living War Memorial is a real opportunity for every student, whether a veteran or not. to render a real expression of gratitude towards those fellows who made our college days possible by giving up the remainder of their own. Every Trojan has a chance to show the world that he or she has a heart as well as a fighting spirit.
“It is a personal privilege for me to designate the week of Nov. 30 to Dec. 7 as ‘Living War Memorial Week’.”

Name-calling, inferences, implications, and frequent use of rare adjectival phrases marred the faculty team’s hard-fought tie with a fighting Student team in the Bab Bowl yesterday before 1200 he-hawing fans.
Charging fraud after the discouraging l-l-l score, the disspir-ited and tired gang of three Student warriors trudged into the student union locker room swearing, that they should have won.
Nasty intimations of fraud and chicanery were hurled by Head Judge Howard Kotler. “Rambling Russell Caldwell has once again i relied upon his usual chicanery and deceit—his too often repeated misultilization of facts—to try to interpret the judges decision as , one for the faculty. Actually the audience deserves the decision for i it was the audience whose conduct was most intelligent and gentlemanly and indicative of trpe Trojan spirit. If Caldwell persists in | claiming victory, I am left with but one recourse—I shall charge : FRAUD!” Kotler stated.
Caldwell could not be reached for a statement. Promoter “Rube” Zacharias said the student team demanded a rematch. Kureishi

suggested meeting after grades were in.
. PLAY BY PLAY First Quarter: Referee Alan Nichols gave a long touching, sincere speech about how “impartial and honest” he was. He then lampooned the Student team and praised the Faculty one. The teams entered. Caldwell stopped on the Student side, Legman caught him offside and gave him a shove.

roons-We Got a Name for Ya!
by ROBERT WELLS
holastic and legal circles in hern California yesterday were busily trying to determine what A is if it isn’t a university, e State Board of Equalization week confirmed a conclusion SC students had reached long UCLA is not a university, e board pointed out that sec-172a of the penal code requires 500 students be in residence on tnpus before the institution can ailed a university and be pro-?d from liquor establishments in a mile limit.
CLA has only 400-odd students dence.
mediately after the board's de-was made public, a westside .nte committee was formed, committete is petitioning the y health deparment to do hing about the now indescrib-nstitution.
w that the Hyperion project n completed, there is no
I valid reason for the continued existence of UCLA," said a spokesman ! for the committee, an SC alumnus.
However, on the Westwood campus. a small, valiant group rallied to Lhe defense of their alma mater.
“After consultation with our legal ! advisors, we have decided that UCLA is a bona fide university.” said Stan Bachrach, Daily Bruin ; bigwig.
Another said. “Our shipment of athletes from Alabama was a little I short this year, consequently we fell under the 500-resident require-
! ment.”
The mother of a renowned UCLA scholar was not surprised when in-, formed that the institution was not I a university.
“It’s what I suspected all along,” ! she said as she dodged her son’s yo-yo.
Many Westwooders insist that I since UCLA is the southern branch I of the University of California it
deserves all the privileges of the Berkeley campus, including the right to be called a university.
However, the most common reaction to the news of the equalization board's decision was: “If it isn’t a university, what is it?”
Some thought the institution should drop the U from its title until the matter was settled and be known simply as CLA during the interim.
In an effort to dispell the confu-! sion, the Daily Trojan has announced a contest to decide just what the Bruin establishment is. First prize will be the Bruin estab-! lishment.
“You name it, you claim it,” is the general theme.
Entries may be submitted at the Daily Trojan office. They should be in four-letter Anglo-Saxon words and must be accompanied by two tickets to the Rose bowl game, or reasonably exact facsimiles thereof.
spicy advice of onlookers, three judges clutched the leashes of their “seeing-eye” dogs, tapped their red and white canes on the ground, and selected a board extolling the virtues of Chesterfield cigarettes as the winner.
Running a poor second was the crowd's favorite, a real-life, honest-to-gosh picture of as tantalizing a chunk of feminine pulchritude as anyone could ever hope to encounter. This delightful damsel, semi-$ad in a Bikini bathing suit (it detracts not atpll), advertised Fortnight magazine.
Show money went to an advertisement hinting that equipment from the Bill Logg Archery shop would enable one to consistently score bullseyes without a quiver. A board advising social figures to give their business to Dedrick’s Tux shop earned fourth spot.
MAKE OWN BOARDS
The “sandwich man” stunt, carried out by pledges of ADS, national advertising fraternity, is an annual affair conducted before initiation. Pledges make their own boards, carrying advertising for both national and local business concerns, and must wear them while on campus.
Yesterday’s winner, portraying a package of giant Chesterfields, was designed and toted by Ray Garcia. Fortnight’s little de-icer was the brainchild of Herb Agid, who sold the space to the magazine for $35. Beautiful Elinor Stock was the model for lucky Agid, who shot the pictures of Elinor (ahhhhh!) himself.
Jack Amsterdam designed the Bill Logg Archery shop board, and Stan Garnett planned the Dedrick layout.

Caldwell stumbled over to his team’s bench.
While Nichols continued to tell of the merits of the Faculty bunch, they sat there. Craig was reading Dick Tracy and Terry and the Shot Pirates, Redding was glancing through Esquire magazine, and Caldwell was really looking at the Esquire “Esky” calendar.
The Student team sat there, quietly counting their prepositions, nouns and toes.
Stegman started the offensive. He defined the faculty (“A group of people too lazy to work and too nervous to steal.”), the trustees (“composed of the upper crust—a bunch of crumbs held together by a lot of dough”), the administration ("the people who, when we get through with this debate, are going to cut salaries”), and the students (“A group of eager young minds in the process of having their intel-lectural curiosity stiffled.”).
He issued his teams first contention: “The cost of the faculty is far out of propostion to the value received.” He supported this by showing that the American history text “Muzzey and Krout” contains 440,000 words. Caldwell’s lecturers were given, he said, at a rate of 135 words a minute. “In 32 lectures of a 2-unit course” he says only 216,-000 words he added. “So, if we increase the size of the text book 50% we can completely dispense with Dr. Caldwell and his ilk.”
Stegman pointed out “Caldwell’s 2-unit course costs $32; the book can "be obtained for $5; you can get a good used book for $3.75; Dr. Caldwell, who is practically worn out, still costs $32; and. when you get through with the course you can sell the book for $2.50. There’s no market resale for Dr. Caldwell.”
Following a yell (“Who’s He?”) when Caldwell was introduced, the “Rambler” tore into Stegman's statements. He said he dictated to his students 2?5 words a minute. Showing the “Esky” al-girl calendar he illustrated his contention with figures. He called the opposition the “purile purlings of pub-esence,” told how they stole; said ( Continued on Page 4)
Women Warblers To Compete for Songfest Honors
Warblers from 23 women’s organizations are entered in the annual AWS Songfest to be held in Bovard auditorium, 7 p.m. Monday.
Each group, composed of not more than 12 women, have chosen their songs and are rehearsing, said Chairman Marilyn Wolf.
Fraternities and sororities have been requested to hold their Monday meetings in the afternoon to allow members to attend Songfest, she said.
Organizations entered and their songs are Alpha Chi Omega, “Dream Song”; Alpha Delta Pi. “Sorority Blues”; Alpha Epsilon Phi, “Through the Years”; Alpha Gamma Delta, “Sweetheart of Alpha Gam”; Alpha Omicron Pi, “AOPi Girl”; Alpha Phi, “Alpha Phi Sweetheart.”

to broadcast an SC game.
“This is a sore point with me,” Bub said. “Not only was Stem’s broadcast obviously biased against SC, but he continually messed up the players names.”
“This is a Goodbye Mr. Stem motion,” President Bob Padgett said.
The motion later was toned down to direct a Senate committee to write a letter of censure to Stem. Opposition of Howard Kotler and Cal Schmidt to the original resolution prompted the amendment.
KOTLER OBJECTS
“If this motion is passed,” Kotler asserted, “it will give SC a bad name, especially in view of the fact that we were resoundly beaten. When all this gets out it will make' us look like bad sports. Let’s wait until Stem broadcasts a game which we win before we attempt to bar him from our broadcasts.”
The Senate’s move to place Padgett on the Board of Trustees was turned down by the administration, according to a report given to the Senate by Bob Scoilin.
“It is the opinion of the administration that the ASSC president has no business on the Board of Trustees,” Scoilin said in making the report of the liaison committee.
VIVIAN AGREES
“Dean Vivian expressed the feeling that inasmuch as faculty members were not even permitted on the Board of Trustees, he could not see why students, supposedly more immature than faculty members, could be given an ex-officio, advisory seat.
Scoilin told the Senate that one member of the administration had remarked to Dean Hyink after hearing about the Senate’s request “Who in blazes do these students think they are?”
The Senate’s request that students be included on standing University committees also was given the administration cold shoulder.
“Dean Hyink felt that faculty matters should be kept distinctly apart from student affairs.” Scoilin continued. “He felt that the faculty would not like the students to tell them how to run their affairs.
HYINK SUGGESTS
“Dean Hyink made an' excellent recommendation, that standing Student committees be appointed on parallel lines to the University committees. These committees could get together periodically to solve problems and air ideas.”
Honor and respect was paid to the late On' Mohler, one of SC’s greatest all-Americans, when the Senate observed a minute of silence in memorium.
Following this tribute the Senate approved arrangements for flowers from the Trojan student body to be sent to the funeral to be held Friday morning.
KNIGHTS ACT
Bert Coffey, Knights president, reported that both the Knights and the Athletic department are sending floral tributes.
“I do not know at the present time if the funeral will be private or open to the public,” Coffey announced.
“A number of Knight.? plan to attend as representatives of SC if the funeral is open,” Coffey said.
The administration announced through Coffey that the flag on campus will be flown at half-staff on Friday during the funeral hour.
Success of F-S day was extolled by a number of senators in open debate. Particular emphasis was placed on the success of the debate held in Bovard. General opinion of the Senate was that the debate was the greatest thing in our history in bringing about better relations between faculty and students.
GEORGE BERMANT He Can't See It
Foreign Office Jobs Outlined
Employment opportunities with the foreign service of the State department were described yesterday by Vice-Consul Borrie I. Hyman to an assembly of international relations students in Mudd hall.
Hyman said that two catagories v>f jobs are available for applicants. They are for foreign service officers and positions in the staff corps. Officer applicants may expect a long wait.
“After applicants for foreign service officers have passed two tests, which includes a difficult one-half hour oral exam in Washington, he must wait two years before he is called,” said Hyman.
Officers are started at $3300 plus overseas allowances. Once in office, they must keep up satisfactory work or they are asked to resign, said the vice-consul. Officer applicants must speak at least one European language. Students may get a sample examination by writing to the State department, Washington.
“The staff-corps employee has an easier time getting accepted,” said Hyman. “He need not speak a foreign language and only has to pass a simple examination with which a college student should have no trouble.” Starting pay is $2800, and the staff man must be prepared to go anywhere. Hyman reminded his audience that most ambassadors and consul-generals worked themselves up from a bottom position.
Staff-corps jobs include typists, clerks, stenographers, and radio operators. Hyman said that a small post is best for experience and promotion. “There is greater opportunity here to leam all phases of the work and not get bogged down in the routine of a larger office,” he said. “Applicants are expected to serve the full two-year term.”
plank.”
“At the present time I do not know enough about NSA to vote intelligently either way.” Bermant explained.
“In my opinion, neither the senate nor the students have enough information to reach any conclusive decision,” he continued.
HEATED DISCUSSION After a heated discussion on the affiliation problem, a motion was made for a show of hands of all members who were “true to the cause of the Unity party.”
“This motion, in reality, was nothing more than a loyalty oath,** Bermant declared.
Following another hour of debate, the motion was withdrawn.
Stating his views on NSA affiliation, Bermant pointed out that the Senate has apparently turned its back on the problem.
“I am in favor of an investigation program which will serve to educate both the Senate and the students. We should either accept or reject affiliation, but only with a complete knowledge of its advantages and disadvantages.” he said.
QUESTION GROUP He suggested that the situation might be clarified if people outside the campus who have been exposed to NSA were invited here for questioning by both the Senate as a group and by any special committee the Senate might set up.
“Students should be fully informed of all facts gathered by such action so that they can have some say about any affiliation action taken by the Senate.” Bermant concluded.

Blood Center Plan Devised
SC Red Cross chapter yesterday announced a group participation plan for blood donors.
The plan is devised for participation of individuals, industries, and fraternal and union groups. It provides that the groups have a blood savings account with the Red Cross regional blood center equal to the amount of blood contributed by their members.
An advantage of the plan is that all members of a group, and their immediate families, whether they have been able to contribute or not, are eligible to draw upon the credit established by their groups.
After the first contribution, Red Cross sends the donor an identification card giving his blood type and Rh factor. In an emergency, this information is immediately available to doctors and hospitals.
All group member? and individual contributors receive slips telling the procedure to be followed when blood is needed.
Jack Lindquist, blood donor chairman, announced that donations will be taken at ZTA house next Thursday from 1 to 5 p.m. The mobile blood bank also will be on campus Mar. 29 to take donations.
Bovard Filled for Pears Recital
by OWEN ANDERSON
Residents of Southern California are noted for their informality . . .
They conformed to their reputation last night. Curtain time for tenor Peter Pears and his com-poser-accompanist Benjamin Britten, was 8:30 last night. The pair waited in the wings of Bovard auditorium 20 minutes while latecomers delayed the recital by jamming the aisles.
After usherettes finally unscrambled the tardy audience into the correct seats, the youthful Britten and Pears managed to begin the program that was a part of the third annual Festival of Contemporary Arts.
Pear’s first song, an anonymous 17th century song, “Have You Seen
but a Whyte Lilie Grow?” quickly quieted the audience who had to listen intently to catch the melody of the softly sung air.
Pears sly humor became apparent*1 when he introduced “I’ll Sail Upon the Dog Star,” from “Orpheus Briti-cus” with a pun which played upon a distinction between the encyclopedia and the work that was the song’s inspiration.
The audience broke into its first truly enthusiastic round of applause at the end of the song. The other Purcell-Britten numbers, “There’s Not a Swain” and “Sweeter Than the Roses,” were greeted by even greater appreciation.
After a slight pause Pears and j Britten returned to the stage with
a group of five Schubert numbers. As before, each number was applauded more wildly until at tht last, the audience was giving the soloist And his accompanist a ringing tribute. At the last of these numbers a moment of silence was finally broken by scattered gasps of appreciation before the applause began.
Britten’s "St. Nicolas Cantata” began its West Coast premier* a half hour late after the intermission. Pears sang the lead part. Nicolas, joined by nearly 200 of the university choral organizations, four members of the St. Luke’s choristers, and the University orchestra, in the performance which was given even greater tribute than th* preceding recital.
