IFC Nominates
'Officers; Sets Rushing Limit
The interfratemity council yesterday nominated spring semester officers and set a time-limit on rushing in the first meeting of the spring semester at the Zeta Beta Tau house.
Bill Meecham, present IFC secretary and member of Phi Kappa Tau, was the only presidential nomination. Jim Biby, present treasurer and member of Phi Sigma Kappa, was nominated for vice president and David Silvers,
Tau Delta Phi, was nominated ! for treasurer. No one was nomin-(ated for secretary.
President George Gottesman announced that a special meeting would be held next Thunday af-| ternoon at the Acacia house for the purpose of nominating and el-ecting spring-semester officers.
Few Rushees Because of the small number of rushees. about 150, the IFC voted to limit rushing to three weeks.
The final day of rushing will be Mar. 2. This is a Monday and it was voted that way to give the houses a chance to give an extra weekend rush party.
Tony Ward, greater university chairman, outlined plans to incorporate a larger fraternity section in the next student handbook, providing the IFC appropriates $300.
He pointed out that the fraternity section was small last year because, although the IFC voted funds for the book, the money was never paid.
Ward said that Al Carpenter, handbook editor, would be at the next regular IFC meeting to discuss his plans for the fraternity [section. Carpenter was scheduled j to be at yesterday s meeting but, as happened last fall when the handbook question was first dis-I cussed. Carpenter never showed
I up.
Few Nomination*
Commenting on the nomination I of officers, Gottesman explained jthe apparent apathy in nominating is due to the fact that there are a lot of new representatives in Ithe council. ‘They saw today who [vac nominated and more candi- j dates will undoubtedly be placed various department offices for lin nomination at the election lone year an dthen a possible op-1 meeting,” he said.	ening as a career diplomat.
EGYPTIAN, OSTEOPATH SING DRAFT BLUES '
While Egyptian Mahmud Sohagi, a former SC stu-rent, is telling it to the Marines, SC graduate Dr. Robert Norcross, 10416 Egan drive, Whittier, is telling it to the Army.
Dr. Norcross. an osteopath, claims he would be more • valuable in Chilian life as the Army doesn't recognize his profession. He reported Wednesday for induction as a private.
Sohagi, here on a visitor's passport, has been in the armed forces since last May against his will. He claims he was “high pressured” into service. A spokesman for the Selective Service board said. “We don’t high pressure anyone into the service.”
Now AWOL on the advice of the San Francisco Egyptian consul, Sohagi is awaiting action.
Since July, Dr. Norcross has iost two appeals through boards in his effort to have authorities alter their policy of drafting osteopaths.
Norcross said he wants it plainly understood he is not trying to evade the service, but asked that osteopaths be given the same treatment as medical doctors and be offered commissions for their osteopathic training.
Osteopathies is the system of treating disease by manipulation of the patient's bone structure.
Dr. Frank G. Nolan, chairman of the Military Affairs committee of the Los Angeles County Osteopathic association. criticized the governmer.t for its failure to allow osteopaths to practice medicine.
“He applied for a commission in the medical corps, but was denied that privilege because he doesn't belong to the ‘right club,’ * Nolan said.
Two Up for State Dept. Fellowships
Nominations for an internship in the State Department in Washington and for a $2000 fellowship for study abroad were made by the SC nomination board, announced Ross N Berkes, board chairman, yeterday.
Bruce Ruben, IR graduate who is presently enrolled in the School of Public Administration, was nominated SC’s contender for the Washington internship.
Nominee for Fellowship Richard Brynildsen, graduate IR student, was nominated to compete for the $2000 fellowship offered by the California congress of the PTA.
“In last year's competition for both awards, SC was fortunate in securing two internships with the State Department and one $1000 graduate study award from the California congress of the PTA,” said Berkes.	,
Japan Bound If Brynildsen receives the fellowship he will probably go to Japan for his studies. He is a specialist in the international relation problems of Japan.
Securing an internship with the State Department in Washington would give Ruben work in the
Debate Squad Set for Annual UCLA Meet
SC's debating superiority will be on the block tomorrow morning at 9 when members of the championship Trojan debate squad enter the individual events championship at UCLA.
The meet has been held on the Bruin campus for over a decade and is one of the most important individual events contests of the forensic year. It includes extemporaneous, impromptu, interpre-: tative reading, and oratory con-' tests.
Senior speakers Bo Jansen, Betty Wilcoxson. James Smith. Willis Henderson, and Jean Hollinger will lead the 22-member squad.

The group is led by Sally Roch-lin, Bette Dobkin, Ron Wein-traub, Murray Bring, and Bob Wallach.
Pepperdine college and San Diego state college debaters are among the favorites in the competition.
'Bless You, He's My Brother' ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Silence Reigns on Row
Reaction at SC to the suspension of the Williams college chapter of Phi Delta Theta by its national | headquarters because it pledged a Jewish student has been cautious.
The national press services said the Williams college chapter had been suspended because it violated section 26 of the national constitution which “restricts membership in the fraternity to men of white and full Aryan blood.”
SC Phi Delta Theta President, Dominic Liuzzi, said, “Actually we're not in a position to make any comment on it.”
National Policy “Our position wouldn’t make any difference as it’s a matter of national policy,” said Uiuzzi.
"I hope, however,” he said, “that they will do something to amend the policy.”
George Gottesman, IFC president who has the peculiar position of also being head on an SC Jewish fraternity, felt that it was a purely local matter with Williams col-
lege and Phi Theta Delta, and that no action would be taken at
SC.
No Prejudice
“Personally in my time at SC,” said Gottesman, “I haven’t had any experience with any anti-Semitism at SC. It is not a problem at the university.”
Nick Apple, associate DT editor, j had a different opinion, “I have j seen the rush lists at the houses 1 and those persons listed with Jewish names had a red pencil-line drawn through them. No one even j bothers to call them.”
“Fraternity men have contact | daily with Jewish men,” continued Apple, “and they get along okay, j The fraternities at SC are supposedly open to all students and there is no reason why they shouldn’t be.
“The Protestant, Catholic, and Jew have always gotten along together at SC,” he said.
President Fred D. Fagg Jr. had no comment to make at present.

Many people who want all global defense against communism to be under-auspices of the United Nations have regretted the action of the American government in regard to Formosa, said Dr. Theodore H. E. Chen, head of the Asiatic studies department.
The neutralization of Formosa was a unilateral action ordered by the president of the United States without sanction of the United Nations, he added. .
“If the American fleet should stand ready to protect Formosa against Commuhist attack, the deneutralization move might increase the possibility of another military front for the United States and eventually might mean a further expansion of the Far Eastern war.
War Risk Reduced
“On the other hand, if the U. S. should extend active aid to Formosa and help strengthen its de- [ fense without involving American forces directly in defense of the island, the risk of a larger war would be greatly reduced.
“Whether the deneutralization of Formosa increases the risk of a full-sized W’orld War III,” .said Dr. Chen.” “depends on the yet unannounced'policies that are to follow.”
“So far. the president has only removed the ban on the attack
of the Chinese mainland by Nationalist forces in Formosa. He has not specifically stated what the policy of the United States or the United Nations would be in the case of an attack of Formosa by the Chinese Communists.
Korean Defense
If all future action could be taken in the name of the United Nations, as the defense of Korea was organized, the deneutralization move might turn out to be a gain for the free world as a whole, Dr. Chen continued.
“The most satisfying aspect of the Korean war is that the defense of Korea is an action of the UN and consequently represents the united front of the free nations against Communist aggression.
Day Class Sign-Ups Dip a Bit
Registration of day students is expected to total nearly 10,000 this spring, a figure slightly less than that reached last spring, said Registrar Howard W. Patmore.
The number of registered day students has reached 8309, and combined with an estimated 1400 dental, medical and law students, brings the total day registration up to 9709.
Vets Leaving
Patmore estimated that SC will have about 200 less students in day sessions this year, and attributed the difference in spring figures to the graduation of veterans.
Most of the remaining veterans are expected to be graduated in June, said Patmore. Enrollment should level off after that.
An unexpected flood of freshmen has kept the figures up slightly, and has necessitated the addition of 11 freshman English and 6 physical education classes.
UC Registration
There are no figures for University College as yet because registration is still in operation.
Using last year’s night and this year's day registrations as a basis a total registration topping the 17,000 mark should be reached.
SC will have a smaller enrollment this spring compared to last fall, and Patmore estimated a seven per cent drop between the semesters. He added, however, this decline is recorded every February.

Ex-ASSC Senator, Now U.S. Solon, Meets Press In Visit to Los Angeles
by Charlie Barnett
Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel, a student senator in his SC undergraduate days, returned to Los Angeles yesterday, reaffirmed his support of the Eisenhower administration, and said he believes the tidelands will-be returned to the states during this session of Congress.
The former LAS president, who is now the junior senator from California, held a press conference at his Biltmore hotel suite and said that in his duties as senator he intends to follow the leadership of Eisenhower and the Republican platform. As the reporters quizzed him on various issues it became evident that he is an Ike man just about right down the line and that he intends to push for the fulfillment of the GOP campaign promises.
Predicts Tidelands’ Return ‘The people of California can look forward this year to the fulfillment of the platform promise that the tidelands be returned to the states.” he predicted.
He said that Congress would support the move to return the tidelands to state control and that President Eisenhower would approve the legislation rather than veto it as President Truman did.
The Trojan alumnus is a member of the Interior and Insular Affairs committee which begins an investigation of the tidelands issue Monday.
Legality Questioned He also said that there was a question as to the legality of President Truman’s order transferring the oil lands to the Navy petroleum reserves.
“The question is whether the president had authority to make a transfer of lands not owned by the government,” Kuchel said.
He explained that the Supreme Court decision ruled only that the Federal government had “paramount rights” over the tidelands, not legal ownership.
Kuchel said he expects the Interior and Insular Affairs committee to take up the question of Hawaiian statehood “soon after” they finish with the tidelands bill. He said he thought the tidelands investigation would probably last about two weeks.
Sees Hawaii Statehood He said he thought the chances were good for Hawaiian statehood.
Asked about his own views on the matter, Kuchel said he would listen to what is said opposing statehood in the committee hearings, “but statehood is a plank in the Republican platform and the president has requested statehood, and those two facts are very persuasive to me.”
He said, however, he thinks (Continued on Page 4)

Only $100 of the original $250 was claimed yesterday, and Trovet president Bob Hallberg would like students who left books to be sold to pick up their money.
“About one-third of the books have been sold. We stilF have some Man and Civ books selling from $1.50 to $3.50 and a large number of Woodbridge accounting books with up to 60 per cent off,” he said.

Students can still take their books to the bookmart for selling. A charge of 10 cents for operating costs will be charged if they are sold. Students set their own price o*n the books. If they aren't sold, they are returned and .there is no charge.
