Signups Coming Slow For Frosh-Soph Brawl
Josef Stalin’s death will not cause any fundamental change in Russian policy, Carlton C. Rodee, professor of political science, predicted yesterday.
Dr. Rodee, who teaches the SC class in the Government of Russia, believes that Georgi M. Malenkov, Soviet Communist party secretary, will be the new premier on the death of Stalin.
“I don’t think Stalin’s death will bring about any fundamental change in Soviet domestic or foreign policy,” Dr. Rodee told the DT.
Stalin Inactive
“I doubt whether Stalin has been very active personally in administration of the government recently,” Dr. Rodee said.
“The Soviet regime has now been in power so long that the ruling clique consists entirely of thoroughly indoctrinated, fanatical communists, most of whom have been educated and trained during Stalin’s regime,” he explained.
“There are, therefore, no wide differences of view regarding the course of public policy,” the political science professor said.
“When Lenin died, sharp differ-
ences of opinion did exist, particularly between Stalin and Trotsky,” Dr. Rodee said, “but the present situation is very different.”
When asked to predict the new premier, Dr. Rodee said, “I think it is almost a foregone conclusion that Malenkov will be Stalin’s
successor.”
Not Molotov
Malenkov holds the key position in the party where he has had control over almost all appointments to the important positions in the party and the government, Dr. Rodee said.
The Russian government teacher was asked his opinion of the chances of V. M. Molotov, former Soviet foreign minister who has been named to sit at the head of the Council of Ministers during the emergency.
“I regard Molotov as a Soviet elder, statesman but not as likely successor to Stalin,” he replied.
Rodee emphasized that although the members of the politboro may be rivals for power as individuals, he thinks they are in agreement on basic policy issues.

Sign-ups for tomorrow's fresh-man-sophomore brawl have been going very slowly, freshman brawl chairman Barbara Hines said yesterday. *
The overdue sign-ups table finally made its first appearance yesterday but students didn’t seem to be in any hurry to put sign-up down for any events.
Miss Hines said that the table would be on the Student Union corner today from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. since it was missing Monday and Tuesday. She explained that a	reservation mixup
prevented her Tfom installing the booth as announced.
Leading the field in participant interest on the first day of signups. the pie eating contest had many men and women listed. A now event, the obstacle race, was second in the number of signups. The DT is to publisr a full list of participants Friday.
Posters advedtising the interclass classic were to appear to-
day to remind underclassmen that the brawl begins at 2:30 p.q?. Scene of the struggle is the Dental field.
“Our year’s experience and the fine sophomore class spirit will carry us to victory,” Sophomore President Phil Marantz told the DT.
“Overconfidence is the prelude to defeat.” Freshman President Don Davis countered. “Freshman spirit has been a driving force to victory all year.”
Both presidents were concerned over the small number of signups. However, they expect a last minute rush to fill the lists despite the poor showing yesterday.
Seven of the eight events require signups. The push ball is a free-for-all type contest and is the exception to signups. A few names were listed for the wheelbarrow relay bnt no one signed up for the horse race and three-legged relay.
Stanley R. Townsend, Dr. and Mrs. Bernard L. Hyink, Mrs. Margaret Walker, and Paulina Salz.
The lounge visitors yesterday inspected the redecorated and refurnished dor mitory basement which will serve as the headquarters for study and relaxation by 2500 graduate students.
They expressed approval of the colorful color scheme and furnishings. Most of them felt that it was about time that the graduates had a “homebase” of their own.
Earlier Need “It’s something that should have been done a long time ago,” said Russell L. Caldwell, assistant professor of history. “I hope to see the graduates take over all of Town and Gown someday—that will be a dream completed.” Dean Deuel hopes that the “lounge will be a real benefit to the graduate students on campus and that they will find time to meditate here.”
The lounge will be for the use of graduate students from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., five days a week. Women from Town and Gown can use it Sundays and holidays. Groups may also rent the lounge for socials.

Informal Dinner Held
Nine members of the governor's committee met iast night at an informal dinner at the California club to plan the agenda for today’s conference.
William Sener, head of the department of telecommunications at SC, and his staff will act as hosts for the day. Sener is a member of the committee.
Other members of the commii-
; tee expected to attend today’s meeting include Mrs. P. D.

Today’s meeting of the educational television committee comes on the heels of an order by the State Assembly for a 60-day -tu-dv of the costs of installing and operating education TV channels.
The house passed by a unanimous vote the resolution by Assemblyman Charles J. Conrad, Hollywood, which directs the Ways and Means committee to investigate the costs and report to the legislature by May 10.
Eight Channels Planned Conrad's measure originally had called for a two-year study, but members objected, saying the delay would jeopardize the state’s chances of obtaining the eight channels the FCC has allocated tentatively for educational television in California.
A further amendment, to the effect the study would have no affect on other educational television legislation before the assembly, was also accepted by the assembly.
Conrad said the governor's committee on educational TV had listed the cost of installing a station at about S270.000 and the cost of operation at $200,000 a year. Conrad said that channel 28 in Allan Hancock foundation is estimated j to cost S6 million.
Assemblyman Marvin Sherwin of Piedmont, whose committee will make the study, said that he believed his group could have | some concrete information by 1 May 10.
Josef Stalin will never recover completely if the reports from Russia on his physical condition are true.
This was the conclusion reached by Dr. Paul O. Greeley, director of the student health center, after hearing yesterday’s reports on Stalin’s sudden stroke.
Dr. Greeley bases his conclusion on two. statements from the reports. Primarily, that Stalin has been in a deep coma about 40 hours. This usually means the body’s capacity to repair itself has diminished greatly.
“After such a coma,” he said, “the patient may recover but parts of the body cannot be controlled. Paralysis of one leg and one arm on the same side is common in such cases.”
Serious Condition
Cheyne-stoke breathing, also reported, indicates an extremely serious condition. This is snorelike breathing broken by intervals in which there is no breathing. Jt is caused by the body not being able to breathe in and absorb oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.
Reports received indicate a cerebral hemorrhage, the breaking of a blood vessel in his brain, he said. It is always a serious condition, and even without further complications, many victims die.
“Even if the medical reports
General Chairman For Alumni Day Function Named
Appointment of W. Worth Berr-nard as general chairman of Alumni day. May 16, was announced yesterday by Bernard C. Brennan, president of the General Alumni association.
Bernard, a graduate from the College of LAS in 1935, is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi, honorary scholastic societies. He is the area manager for a local business counseling firm.
The day is being planned by faculty, students, and alumni committees. A spring football practice staged for fathers and sons will supplement a series of lectures and special events by schools and colleges during the morning.
Preceding the traditional baseball game between alumni and faculty on Bovard field, a family luncheon will be held on the lawn adjoining Founders hall, according to Arnold Eddy, director
are true,” Dr. Greeley said, “it is still difficult to diagnose his condition. Any conclusions drawn on Stalin’s condition and chances of recovery could very easily be erroneous.”
Inconclusive Reports
Dr. Robert A. Livingston, physician at the student health center, agreed it was impossible to diagnose the case from reports received.
He said he had heard some radio reports which denied Stalin was even ill, and others saying the medical reports were Dropa-ganda.
“Nevertheless,” Dr. Livingston said, “it would be impossible to diagnose the case without examining the patient. It is just like a student who passes me in the hall and asks me what is the matter with him—you just can’t tell unless you examine him.”

Georgeous George, the Baron, or any other professional wrestler would completely “panic” if they had to perform in Africa. And-so would the Africans.
The second annual celebration of the African Harvest Festival is being presented Saturday at 8 p.m. in Bovard auditorium, and will feature wrestling — African style—among the evening’s entertainment.
Chukuemeka Okeke, president of the West Coast African Students, and other SC African students, have viewed wrestling on television and found it almost beyond the realm of possibility. “It was horrible,” according to Okeke. Not Professional
In Africa the sport is not professional. Groups of villages get together at Festival time for good-natured competition. The men are classified according to weight: heavy, medium^ and lightweight; and size and age.
The match is begun when the visiting village sends one of its natives out to challenge the host village. The challenged village then decides if the man in its village is well suited to the challenger. If not, then the challenger keeps challenging men until the host village decides that the two are equally matched.
Large Ring Following this decision the two wrestlers dance around the ring, which is about one-third the size of a football field. They are sometimes joined by the other natives. This dancing is all done to music, The two men then face each other and scoop up sand in their hands to signify that they have no evil intentions and will not use any foul means in the bout. If they do it is believed that the gods of earth wiil punish them.
The actual wrestling now begins. The natives from each village give their men messages or instructions through drum beats during the match. If the drummer sees an opening for his man, he may instruct him through drum signals.
This sport is considered a good beginning for romantically inclined young men because the winner is usually quite popular with the women of his village.
At Saturday night’s celebration in Bovard, Olojo Kosoko, SC cinema .major, will sing several folk songs and lead some folk dances. Talking Drums Also on the program will be Chukwuemeka Emejom, who will demonstrate the use of talking drums. They are used in communication, telling of deaths, and warning of war.
The Harvest Festival is a time of great merriment and rejoicing in Africa. It comes at the beginning of the dry season early in November, and the natives give thanks and sacrifices to the gods who have blessed their land with abundance. Festivals are carnivals that take place throughout the continent.

ASSC senators last night passed a resolution asking each SC fraternity to recommend that its national convention drop race or religious clauses from the organization’s membership requirements.
The resolution, which received Senate support in a unanimous voice vote, was intro-,	"
duced by Bill Van Alstyne, who later in the meeting resigned as independent men’s representative because he has pledged a fraternity.
Official Stand
Speaking for his resolution, Van Alstyne said the Senate had never taken an official stand against discrimination and thus was giving “silent approval” to the practice.
He said this resolution expresses the Senate’s desire but does not “force or coerce” the fraternities to take any action.
If the national fraternity organizations would drop their discriminatory clauses, Van Alstyne said, “it would leave the way open for men’s minds to change in the local chapters.
Larry Courtney, veteran’s representative, opposed the resolution on grounds it is an “inherent American principal to discriminate among your friends any way you please.” He said no one who is “not personally objectionable” is left out of the fraternity system at SC because there are Jewish and Negro houses on campus.
Resolution Passes After a 10-minute intermission, the resolution passed without further argument.
Van Alstyne wound up his term on the Senate by tossing a second amendment before the group, in which he proposed that candidates for yell king be appointed by a combined committee composed of faculty, students, and an alumni representative. The amendment also would give th committee power to remove the elected candidate from office.
In defending the motion, Van Alstyne said the committee appointment would take the yell king office out of politics and would guarantee that those who did run would be qualified candidates.
Oppose Amendment Jansen, who was up and down all evening long, opposed the amendment, stating that the yell king should be elected by students and that the committee should serve only to approve nominated cand{dates.
“And if the yell king is found unqualified, action should be taken through the Senate by recall, and not through the committee,”
Jansen said.
Casey’s announcement of a special meeting next week to vote on the proposed amendments was opposed by Jansen, who moved that the meeting be postponed a week because it would conflict with five-week exams.
More Study Needed He said his “widely advertised” scholastic status (referring to his grade point which is too low to run for office again) made it fairly obvious he and many other senators need to devote next week strictly to study.
His amendment was defeated by a close vote, and the meeting will be held as scheduled.
More than 50 onlookers, the largest crowd of the year, filled the Senate chambers at last night’s meeting.
Gonzales Amendment AMS President George Gonzales introduced a constitutional amendment which, if passed by the Senate and the students, would lower the grade-point average requirement and take out the sex restrictions in the requirements for ASSC officers.
Under the present constitution, all ASSC candidates must have a cumulative average of 1.5. Under Gonzales’ proposal, a candidate would need a cumulative 1.0 and a 1.3 in the last semester preceding his election.
The present constitutional clause provides that the president be a male and the vice-president (Continued on Page 4)
Applicants Face Mar. 9 Draft Test Deadline
Students wishing to take the Selective Service College qualification test Apr. 23 are reminded that their applications must be postmarked not later than Mar. 9.
To take the deferment examination, a student must be a selective service registrant, must be satisfactorily pursuing a fulltime college course leading to a degree, and must not previously have taken the test.
Scholarship Deferment
Criteria for consideration of deferment are a score of 70 or more on the test, or a scholastic standing in the upper half of the freshman class, uper two-thirds of the sophomore class, or upper three-fourths of the junior class.
Seniors accepted for admission to a graduate school must stand in the upper half of their senior class, or make a score of 75 or more on the qualification test.
Many students have been confused by the I-S and II-S deferments, Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Selective Service director said.
Deferments Explained
The II-S deferment is considered on the basis of class standing or qualification test, and is arbitrary on the part of the local board.
The I-S is provided for by law. It allows a college student, ordered to report for induction while satisfactorily pursuing a full-time course, to be deferred until he finishes his academic yea>* provided he has not had his ir luc-tion postponed nor been def rred as a student prior to Ju- e 19, 1951.
General Hershey stressed that no deferment is an exemption. “A defernftent is a delay or postponement and in no way cancels the duty of the registrant to meet his obligaeions. A college student is eligible for service until he is 35 years old.”
Chest Board Drops Contest
The 1953 Mr. Trojanality race will not include voting for Miss Trojanality because the “proceeds are not worth the effort,” said Contest Chairman John Witt at the Trojan chest committee meeting yesterday afternoon.
He explained that the entire contest would net more proceeds if the men’s contest was stressed rather than trying to run two contests in one.
Edward Earle, Varsity show director, said in his report that 200 tickets have been sold, so far. Steve Mulhollen, sophomore, was appointed Varsity show ticket chairman at the meeting.
The financial organization of the chest drive was set up by Lenore Monosson, financial chairman, who recently annouced the approval for three committee appointments. They are Joan Price, Row donations; Jackie Jones, school and council donations; and Mary Zall, who will handle the Mr. Trojanality contest funds. All three girls are members of Spurs, sophomore women’s service club.
Bill Rosensweig, chest chairman, closed the meeting by urging the committee members not to repeat last years’s failure.
