Trojan Grill Counter Hours Changed Again Vo
The Trojan Grill counter has revised its schedule for the second time in two weeks.
The original schedule was from 7:30 a.m. to S p.m., hut last week James F. Clark, director off the Commons, announced the hours of the counter would be from < a.m. to 8:80 p.m. in order to relieve the pressure on the fountain when the counter was closed.
Yesterday Clark announced that a new schedule was in effect, from 7:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. This schedule was made «>p because there are many students who eat breakfast from 7:15 to 7:80 and who patronize the grill up to 3:15, Clark said.

The United Nations should have a sense of international responsibility for the maintenance of psace, promotion of justice, and advancement of welfare.
This was the principle advocated by Dr. Ross N. Berkes, acting director of the School of International Relations, concerning the effect of UN intervention in Korea and possibilities in future situations of this kind .
Dr. Berkes spoke on UN Korean action yesterday in the International lounge at a public forum sponsored by the YMCA.
Responsibility Needed “The UN machinery is attempting to operate on the international responsibility p r i n c i p 1 e,” Dr. Berkes said, “but it can be executed only if there is uninimity of ; purpose among the leading pow’ers of the world in trying to implement it.”
“Whether the UN is capable of achieving this principle is secondary to trying to promote it,” he added.
Because the UN machinery has

1 exhaustion. Everyone was safe, | however.”
He wrote of the extremely unsanitary conditions existing in the 1 islands about Viet Nam, and how it was necessary to do his own cooking, since Americans are less immune to diseases than are the natives.
“The natives dip all of their food into a mass of spoiled fish and the odor is terrific.” said Dr. Dawson. “Many children have eye infections which result in blindness, and sanitation is practically unknown.
“An American living under these conditions would not last two weeks. I am doing my own cooking, mostly out of cans.”
Dr. Dawson has been searching for the marine algae in coral masses and in mangrove swamps. Ho is on a research project for tho Pacific Science Board of the National Research council.
When his work in Viet Nam is completed, he expects to go to Manila and then to Okinawa to continue his search for algae.
First It's Mmerva—Now It's Chancellor's Chinese Gong
Minerva’s hack. Tommy Trojan’s sword is back temporarily, but Chancellor Rut is von KleinSmid’s Chinese gong is missing.
Ten years ago the chancellor was given a Chinese gong, by a friend, to add to his collection of oriental art. The gong was 20-inches in diameter, made of bron/e and was 400 years old.
Pressed for storage space at the time Dr. von KleinSmid gave it to the SC custodian to store until it could be put on display. In the course of events it was forgotten until recently, when the chancellor expressed a desire to present it to the university—then the search was on.
The custodian had long-since left the employ of the university and no one had any idea where the gong was.
George, the university carpenter, who Dr. von KleinSmid claims knows more about university “hiding places," than any other employee, was consulted.
His search, conducted in various favorite campus “hiding-places" including Bovard tower, turned up nothing more than a Daily Trojan daied April 1928.
Dr. von KleinSmid theorized that it might be serving as a dinner gong in a fraternity house or as a stage property in the drama department. The thought seemed to amuse him.
Flit wherever it is he would appreciate its return so he can give It away.
Ski Club Needs Two Chaperones
The Trojan Ski club is desperately in need of two faculty members or one faculty member and one graduate student to chaperone their five-day trip to the Mammouth Lakes region from Monday to Friday during the Easter vacation.
The Ski club will be willing to meet most expenses for the chaperones.
Dr. Berkes also feels the veto is merely an outward symbol indicating cooperation or non-co-| operation of the countries in the | UN.

“Yes, there is always the chance that educational TV is susceptible to becoming a ‘propaganda medium,' but it is up to the advisory committee on educational television to make recommendations to prevent it.”
This is the view expressed by Dr. John Bartky, dean of the School of Education, Stanford university, who is chairman of the governor’s 30-member committee.
Yesterday the committee gathered in the Allan Hancock foundation for its second meeting since the appointment last month.
Usage Fear One of the many stumbling I blocks before this very young ! phase of television is the fear it will be misused.
“With proper guidance, which this committee can initiate, educational television is no more likely to become a propaganda medium than would a commercial TV station,” Dr. Bartky said.
There is a great deal to be accomplished if the eight channels available to California are to be claimed by the deadline of June 2. set by the Federal Communications commission, he said.
Only 1 Channel At the present time only channel 28, located in the Hancock foundation, has applied for and received FCC sanction.
Ultra-high frequency channels are available at Fresno, Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Diego, the San Francisco-Oakland area, San Jose, and Stockton.
“Local groups must make application themselves,” he said, “and the only real progress shown is in the bay area and at Sacramento.”
Lack of Funds
“Those interested in educational TV are at work in all of these cities, but the financing problem
is what slows them up,” he said.
Minimum cost of installing a station is estimated at §270,000 and the cost of operation would run about $200,000 a year, he said.
Dr. Bartky listed four principal methods of financing such a project: Grants from foundations, popular subscription, direct support from people using the facility, and state support.
SC Video Director Tabbed Policy Head At Hancock Meeting
by Charles Sweet Daily Trojan Editor
Governor Warren’s Citizens’ Advisory committee on educational television set up committees on public information and policy yesterday at its meeting in the Allan Hancock foundation.
William Sener, head of the department of telecommunications, was named chairman of ^--——-
the Policy, and Planning committee at the meeting. As host, Sener showed the 30 members of the governor’s committee through the studios of channel 28 and entertained the group with Capt. Allan Hancock of the foundation for lunch.
Serving with Sener on the Pol- ! icy and Planning committee, will be Russell Giffen, Huron. Calif., and John Sutherland, California Federation of Labor.
Committeemen heard the SC telecommunications head outline a channel 28 progress report at the meeting.
Sener said that while everything at the station is almost ready with tne exception of the transmiter, what is needed now is policy making meetings with educators to “find out what we want to do.’
Representation Problem
Our problem is to properly organize the advisory group so that it represents the Los Angeles community at large—through education basically,” Sener said.
When questioned about the cost of the Hancock foundation station, Sener said that it couldn't be pinned down.
“With 74 per cent of Los An- ' geles homes equipped with TV’,” |
Sener said, “certainly we have a big potential audience.” He said that the problem now is to per- School Leadership Dav. suade viewers to ask for ultra- Beginni in the f	F
