Earl Cranston, dean of the School of Religion, was happy at having secured Dr. Baker as a member of the teaching staff.
“His broad educational background and liberal world outlook will make him an unusual asset to his colleagues and students,” he said.
Dr. Cranston feels that many of the clergy in the Southern California area will resume their studies under Bishop Baker.

Engineers Get Clean Start For Annual Beard Contest
Engineers kick up their heels on campus next week when the fifth annual engineering week is celebrated.
The wearing of beards by the fellows with the slide rules sticking out of their back pockets is not to be construed as any return to nature. They are merely obeying the laws set forth by the Kangaroo court in an endeavor to stay out of the mobile jail.
Don’t be alarmed either if you see some staid faculty member entering class in levis and a cashmere. That’s the tradition on Turnabout Day, the first day of engineering week, Mar. 17-22.
Beard registration is today at the School of Engineering. The purpose of the registration is to keep any title aspirants from getting a head start on the field in the “beaver” contest.
The best beaver of the lot will be selected by the mystery queen at the engineering assembly Mar. 21. The queen will be an off-campus celebrity, and her identity will be kept secret until the assembly. Last year’s queen was Hollywood's Gloria De Haven.
Recipients of the Philip Biegler award for the senior engineer with the highest grades will also be announced at the assembly. Disc-Jockey Johnny Grant will emcee the affair.
The week will be climaxed at an engineering ball, Mar. 22 at the Lakewood Country club in Long Beach. Bids priced at 52.50 will go on sale next Monday.
.The Engineering council, presided over by Bill Hansen, is slated to meet today to blueprint plans for the coming week s shenanigans.

of the Eisenhower for President club of a few weeks ago.

The California Democratic guild, parent organization of the campus group, was founded by a group of SC students on campus in the fall of 1949. and has carried on several political promotions since.
Seeks Liberals Graber stated, “The guild seeks as members, liberals who are more interested in what they, as Americans, can bring to politics than in what they can carry away.”
In discussing activities of the guild, Graber said, “the group will endorse and campaign for liberal candidates on the Democratic ticket in both the primary and general elections.”
Countess to Speak at Advertising Club Meeting
Countess Electra Rozanka will talk on “Speech is Your Personality” at a joint meeting of the LA. Jr. Advertising Women and the LA. Junior Advertising club tomorrow at Smith Brothers Fish Shanty in Beverly Hills.

Berkes Explains Russian Tadics To SC Model UN Delegation
Russian reasoning on world disarmament was explained Friday to the SC Model UN delegation, which will have to act as Russia at the conference here Apr. 3-5, by Dr. Ross N. Berkes, head of the School of International Relations.
Dr. Berkes traced Moscow’s attitude on atomic control and disarmament so that the SC delegation will react accurately to arguments thrown at them by opposing UN members, acted by other participating college delegations.
Real Issues He tried to show the issues which the real UN is currently deadlocked on, and what charges will be hurled at the SC delegation.
Jim Ivanoff, head of the 12-man SC delegation, and the other SC members asked questions during the lecture Friday and looked on both sides of the issue in an attempt to emulate Russian voting habits from every standpoint.
Dr. Berkes brought out arguments Russia and the U.S. have been using in the real UN so that the students would see Russian rea-
i soning on disarmament.
Jacob Malik, Russia's chief delegate, most valid point in his reasoning is that if any county starts an atomic war. no control will stop it. Dr. Berkes brought out the fact that the Russ could point to the World War II stand on poison gas.
No Control
No world-wide control or inspection was used in preventing the use oi gas* A mutual agreement among the Rations was the only binding factor. Yet gas was not used during the last war. The potential danger of the gas prevented this, but no control could have.
On the other hand, the U.S. can show where the Japanese violated naval construction agreements which put the U.S. at a disadvantage in the opening stages of World War II. Some type of control is necessary to insure that pacts are being kept in good faith is the U.S. thought.
These and other points were explained by Dr. Berkes in the informal discussion with the delegates.
Ivanoff explained that SC was taking the part of Russia because the host school was expected to. Last year Stanford acted as the USSR and SC was Nationalist China.
Dr. Berkes’ talk was the first in a trio scheduled to help the SC delegation in its* attempt to copy Russian strategy.
Dr. Rodger Swearingen, professor of international relations, will talk to the group next, and will be followed by Dr. Eugene Harley, professor of political science.
Extensive Recearch
The delegation is supplementing the lectures with an extensive research project on personalities of the Russ members and their stand on UN issues. Speeches and agreements of the Russ are being closely studied for a complete background.
Since the General Assembly of t£e UN allows two con and one pro speaker on each issue, the negative Russian delegation will have the floor at least half the time, explained Mohinder Bedi, alternate head of the SC-Russian delegation.
•Ring of Fate Guides Life: Giesler
by Ed Dudzik
Jerry Giesler, perhaps the most publicized defense attorney in America, spoke to the School of Law assembly Friday on “Some of the Things I Have Learned in the Practice of Law.”
Illustrating his theme of how “a little ring of fate follows every person through life,”
Giesler recounted some of his early experiences.
At times, his subdued manner and rather weak voice was like that of an easy going small-town businessman. On other occasions, his voice exploded with all the forceful conviction—using expressive gestures—of rabid theologians.
Giesler Gets Guffaws
In a humorous vein, he was reminiscent of a hybrid between comedians Edward Everett Horton and Edgar Kennedy. A crowd of more than 309, who braved the rain and the hazards of cutting 10 o’clock classes, responded with frequent outbursts of guffaws throughout Giesler’s hour-long talk, and an ovation when he concluded.
“Fate is indeed strange,” Giesler said. “No one can forestall it. The important thing is to be prepared and to make the most of your abilities when opportunity knocks.
“Above all, always be yourself. Never pattern yourself after oth-rs.
Recounts Case
To illustrate, he recalled one of his cases in which the apposing lawyer, with a reputation for fiery courtroom behavior, tried to imitate him. Giesler reenacted the court scene mimicking first the other lawyer, then himself.
“He changed his style contrary to his own personality.” Giesler said. “In the end, he became confused and lost the case even though he seemed to have more facts.
Don Mitchell, program chairman, introduced Giesler as “today’s answer to the great lawyers of the past, as proved by his contributions to law.”
Arrives in LA.
“It seems that the ambition to study law was always within me,” Giesler said as he recalled reading of law cases during has childhood in Iowa.
Arriving in Los Angeles as a teenager, he often left his work to watch Earl Rogers, “one of the
greatest trial lawyers that ever lived,” in court 'action. .
“I have thought many times since then that' watching Rogers helped inspire a deep-rooted desire for law in me,” Giesler said.
He then enrolled in the SC School of Law aid to pay his way, Giesler
