High Score on Test May Not Defer Males
by Bill Rogers
“The attainment of only a high gnade average or a passing score on the college deferment test will not necessarily place a student safely out of reach of his draft board while in school."
“The increase in draft quoatoh for the next several months and the reaching down into the 20 and 21-year age groups make the fulfillment of those two reuirements mandatory.”
Los Angeles, Calif., Thursday, Feb. 14, 1952

Christol Explains Property Rights
Today’s women have become the most numerous beneficiaries of property because of wills and other property settlement. Dr. Carl Q. Christol pointed this out yesterday as he spoke to the Womens "’acuity club on women’s property rights.
Dr. Christol, associate professor of political science, followed this statement by outlining various property rights of women from feudal times to the present day.
He said that tocay, women are more concerned with guidance to property settlement than ever before because they are the most numeroiis property acquirers.
Dr. Chnstol's emphasis on property claims were those which concerned the husband and wife In joint holdings. These were all based on the property laws of California.
Before evaluating husband and wife claims, he first legally defined the terms “separate property” and “community property.” Separate property, he said, is that personal property which a person acquires before or after marriage. This may even be in the form of a gift. Com-muuity property is that which is acquired only after marriage. It cannot be obtained through wills, gifts, or similar acquisitions, he said.
In California the husband and wife each share one half of the community property, said Dr. Christole. however, whether the property Is legally considered separate or community is the determining factor in property claims.
Property to John and Man,- Doe as husband and wife is community, but to John and Mary Doe as Joint
tenants is separate. In separate property, neither mate legally has one-half claim to the settlement, he said.
Dr. Christol gave the* cl,ub a few facts concerning the wife’s rights
These statements were made by Maj Elias M. Keeley, chief coordinator of district No. 5 of Selective Service, during a special panel discussion on “Where You Stand in the Draft” held in the student lounge yesterday.
The panel, moderated by Shelden D. Elliott ,dean of the School of Law, included student, administrative. and military officers on campus who presented the latest information on the Selective Service program to a gathering of men students.
Tells Way Out
Major Keeley said. “The best way for students to stay out of the draft is to achieve both a high grade average and a passing mark on the college deferment test.”
An alternative In the student military situation came from officers of the ROTC units on campus.
Commander George L. Conkey, associate professor of naval science for the NROTC, outlined the program of the SC unit for men between the ages of 16 and 21, and told about off-campus opportunities for college graduates in the Officer Candidate school at Newport and the Reserve Officers Corps at Treasure Island.

In constructing their artificial kidney they used a modified metal beer keg. some cellophane sausage casing, and a transparent plastic cylinder. It has been used success! ullv on a human patient.
Most of the work in designing, developing, and constructing the kidney was done by Dr. John P. Meehan, formerly of the department of physiology and now in the USAF. He was assisted by Dr. Douglas R.

IFC to Choose Top Executives At Meet Today
“Sounds fishy to me,” was the comment expressed by Dr. Thomas Clements, professor of geology, when he was confronted with the story concerning the discovery of tiny seeing fish in a central California artesian well.
A mystery was posed for scientists when these tiny fish were pumped out of an artesian well excavation being dug for irrigation purposes.
Normally, true cave fish are said to be blind. Scientists are pondering over whether these high “eye-Q” fish are on a sight-seeing tour from an unknown source, or whether it’s a natural habitat for a new specie of fish.
Skeptically, Dr. Clements commented on the possibility of an earthquake fault detouring water from another source.
“Subterranean fish that can ,;=ee are usually found in limestone
caverns. There is no evidence of limestone formations in that area,” he said.
The fish are an inch and a half long, are apparently equipped with dual sets of gill slits, have spines where dorsal and ventral fins should be, and change color to suit their background. They have a reddish-colored lower jaw resembling that of a pike.
Phillip Douglas, aquatic biologist of the Los Angeles office of the State Fish and Game commission, determined that the fish were members of the stickleback family.

“I know artesian well, and it sounds fishy to me.”

All seems to be quiet in the Jane Russell-Bob Waterfield household today Volumptuous Jane arrived back in Hollywood yesterday from Las Vegas and was greeted affectionately by her husband. Her bruised cheek, which some people intimated might have been the result of a marital battle, was chalked up to a taxicab door by Miss Russell. Hubby Bob, who makes passes for the L06 Angeles Rams, planted a big kiss on his wife’s lips and then walked arm and arm with her to their car. It is reported that Jane turned and smiled at him.

Who was St. Valentine? How did Valentine’s day originate? What does Feb. 14 mean to you?
’ These queries startled nearly a dozen campusites yesterday in a poll to determine popular knowledge about St. Valentine's day.
Most of the interviewees had heard of the Valentine legend but couldn’t recall its origins. Some had definite information on the subject. All had definite thoughts. None had the correct answers.
Questions Canonization
Jan Begg, general business graduate, thought that St. Valentine began the custom by decorating cards and sending them from his prson. cell. Begg was not certain whether Valentine was ever canonized a saint.
Begg's remark about the festive day being “too commercialized” expressed the sentiment of the majority of those interviewed. Only one of the people polled, Mrs. Patricia Nunmaker, student union saleswoman. said that Valentine's was not overdone commercially.
“Most people buy inexpensive cards, not gifts,” said Mrs. Nunmaker.
Too Commercialization
Bob Nerell, 31-year-old marine veteran recently returned from Korea, had some pertinent opinions on the meaning of the lighthearted day. Although he said that he did not know the who or how about Valentine’s the ex-Leatherneck said that the idea behind it was probably all lost today.
“Its ideal of love for that certain person has been lost in the shuffle of commercialization much the same as Christmas and Mother’* day,” Nerell said.
Dorothy Mahan, student nurse at the California hospital, said she believed that Valentine was a European monk. To her Feb. 14 is a day to tell special persons that their friendship is “nice to have.”
A Childhood Experience
Valentine’s is not important outside of childhood experience to L e 1 a n d Sutherland, psychology junior.
“Grammar school children look forward to exchanging classroom valentines, but as you reach high school level the event loses its significance.” Sutherland 'oaid.
To Mrs. Dorothy Lown, education sophomore, Valentine was an Irish saint who taught brotherly love. She said that Feb. 14 is original “sweetheart” day.
“Children anticipate receiving a great number of cards, while adults give them only to dose relatives and friends.” observed Mrs. Lown.
Not one person knew either who Valentine was or how the day was originated.
According to the American Educator encyclopedia, St. Valentine was a Roman Catholic bishop who was martyred Feb. 14 in 270 A. D. Feb. 14 was also the day that birds were believed to mate.
Inside Information
Allying Valentine’s day of martyrdom with the symbol of love represented by the mating birds, youngsters of the Middle Ages set aside Feb. 14 as a day of love and friendship. On the eve of the event ,boys and girls of a community would draw numbers and pair off with each other. The boy was supposed to be faithful—in other words, a “steady”—for one year to the girl whose name he selected.
ing of the fall semester the Senate voted 16 to 13 in favor of the amendment. At that time Junior Class President Bob Hitchcock moved to reconsider.
Lengthy debate ensued last night on the moiton to reconsider which finally passed by a 19 to 7 roll call vote.
Thirty minutes later the Senate concluded the many hours of argument about the amendment and defeated it once again.
While getting one old issue out of the way the Senate in turn began discussion on another topic which promises to keep the solons busy for some time to come. This came about when Senator-at-large Wendall Casey read the finding of hin committee which has investigation possible incorporation of the ASSC.
Athletic funds and all money derived from this source would remain with the university under the plan.
The cafeteria, operating as a nonprofit organization, should remain under the same management, the report stated.
The committee further recommended that the Daily Trojan, El Rodeo, Student Handbook, AWS, AMS, URA, Rally committee, Social committee, general student body, and possibly the Wampus make up the ASSC budget.
General manager, music, summer Trojan, debate .game entertainment, University College, and Civic Center should be removed from the present student budget because these are essentially university activities, recommendd thee committee.
Casey said that a detailed plan for incorporation and a budget to coincide with the plan will be presented at the next meeting of the Senate.
The report separated all income-producing activities affecting students, dividing them into three categories. The ASSC would assume control of one of these categories to derive funds for the new student budget. The other two would remain under university direction as the committee does not feel that they are completely student activities .
The report recommended that funds derived from the bookstore photography shop, candy concessions, parking lots, and school dances go to the ASSC.
The vote on the constitutional -amendments follows:
Voting for the amendment were Senators B’ackwell (proxy), Bradley, Carter, Casey, Dillon, Judd, McColIoch (proxy), McRevnolds. Moldenhauer (proxy), Tomlinson, Van Laanen (proxy), Wake, Ward, Warnock, and Stone.

Who Dunnit1
Loot Returned; Hunt Culprit(s)
Alls quiet on the 28th street front.
Most of the stolen fraternity trophies have been reclaimed at the Kappa Alpha Theta house, and only about 15 were reported broken.
“I guess the Thetas have all the trophies they want. Somebody tried to help them out, but I guess they don’t need them,” Albert F. Zech, counselor of men said.
Found In Boxes
Five boxes of stolen trophies, banners, and pictures were found in the Theta garage about 10 pjn. Tuesday. The loot was wrapped in newspapers, and a bear rug was strategically sprawled over the boxes.
At 9:45 p.m. a Theta pledge answered the house phone.
“I would like to speak to an officer,” a mysterious voice said
Barbara Hamman, ex-Theta-prexy, was summoned.
“If you will look in your garage, I think you might find a surprise,” the voice said.
“I thought the voice was familiar, but when I started asking questions, he hung up,” Miss Hamman said.
Display Articles
Upon discovery of the trophies, several fraternities were called. Volunteers carried tiie heavy boxes into the entrance hall. The 'teien articles were put on display in the entrance hall, th etrophy room, and on the furniture.
Until midnight, a constant stream of enraged fraternity members rushed in and identified their belongings.
Thetas said yesterday that there are still about 15 unclaimed articles, and since their mantel is already full, asked that the fraternities claim them.
Fraternity emblems on the articles are Delta Chi. Sigma Chi, Theta Chi and Theta Xi. Unclaimed also, are a black sheepskin, and a silver trophy dated Dec. 8. 1927 and reading. “Presented by Carl Laemmle Jr. “as a tribute to Morley Drury a USC hero of the gridiron.”
The Phi Delta Thetas have a theory that the mischief was done between the hours of 4-7 a.m.
“We still had our trophies at 4 a.m., one yawning Phi Delt said.
