Brave Bruins Bring Blues to Bronze Battler
Tommy Trojan got another scrubbing j esterday.
The bronze SC warrior—constant target of UCLA prank-sicrs—climbed out of the blue ink coat Bruins dumped on him last weekend and got ready to defend himself against any more Bruin on«lau^hts.
In 1 ho first UCLA prank preceding Saturday's football scuffle with the Bruins, the Trojan warrior became the victim of a hii^ht blue Bruin pen. campus police reported.
Observers on the SC campus are venturing that Tommy's blue coating came al>out as a reaction to the iheft of a UCLA ni;* horn by SC students last week.
The air horn, coming into Trojan hands by chance, was returned to the Bruins, but not before SC publicized its pie-game victory.
Administrators and student leaders on both campuses have asked their students to limit stunts to “clean, intellectual fun.”
UCLA Dean of Students Boyd Atkinson last week praised SC for being “several hundred yards ahead of UCLA” in this area.
He cited the “fake Daily Biuin” planted on the UCLA campus by Trojan journalists last year as the cleverest prank yet devised.
The phony paper, written by two Daily Trojan staffers caused an uproar in Westwood. Students accepting the paper as 1 heir regular Daily Bruin were incredulous over statements which felled UCLA under the Trojan sword.
In retaliation. Bruins attempted 1o drop manure on Tommy Trojan from a low-flying helicopter. They missed their target.
After the game, however, they did successfully crab an SC victory banner that had been locked up in Bovard tower.
They climbed four flights of stairs and figured out a maze of doo's to reach their goal.
The rumor was confirmed last week that the banner is going to be auctioned off by a UCLA fraternity and that proceeds from the sale will go toward financing a ISO foot cement “C for the Bruins.
UCLA students have been warned not to let the stolen SC banner appear at Saturdays pa me.
“Heads will roll if it shows up,” promised Dean Atkinson.

James Thurber’s tale of a midgel baseball player delighted listeners at yesterday's noon reading hv Harry Reed, assistant professor of English.
The short story. ‘‘You Could Look It Up'’ is supposedly told by the trainer of a baseball team who hires a midget by the unbe-lieveable name of Pearl du Mon-ville.
In the midst of a losing streak, the team comes up against the tough St. Louis team. The bases are loaded in the last inning with St. Louis One run ahead.
To everyone's surprise and disgust, Manager MeGrew replaces the team's best hitter with a pinch-hittcr Pearl, the midget.
Choir to Give Noon Concert In Auditorium
The Trojan A Cappella Choir will give its first concert of the year tomorrow at 12:15 p.m. in Hancock Auditorium sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and the School of Music.
Directed by Maurice Allard, , Ihe choir will perform “Lord. How Long Wilt Thou be An- j gry." an Anthem by Purcell; “Ave Maria.” by Villa-Lobos: “Arbolucu. te sequeste.'’ by Carlos Chavez; ' Jig for Voices.” by j A!ec Rowley; “Glory to God in the Highest.” by Randall Thomp- , son and a chorale from the or-ga\ works of Brahms.
Featured on the same program will he pianist Joyce Normart playing “Italian Concerto” by Bach; and “Rhapsody in B Minor.” by Brahms.
The onh performance the choir has made this year has been an open rehearsal held for the visiting delegation of Russian composers two weeks ago.
The Trojan A Cappella Ciioir. organized in 1945 by Dr. Charles C. lliii, director of choral organizations at SC, plans to give special performances in the Los Angeles area this year as well as in other U. S. cities on ¡Is annual spring tour.
| Thurber's vivid description of . the play that followed brought chuckles from Reed's audience.
The pitcher becomes frustrated because he had just walked two “normal-sized human beings, only to see this midget standin' ¡at the plate.”
Pearl lets three balls go by that were “only a foot an’ a half over his head,” but strikes at the fourth ball, which “was I the slowest ball the world ever 1 seed.”
When the ball rolls only a few feet and is fumbled by three players, all the runners make j their bases, but Pearl's short j legs still haven't reached first | base.
“All Bethlehem broke loose” as the ball whizzes 1o first, and '• the base umpire shouts “Out.” j
MeGrew taking out his fury : on 1he midget, hurls Pearl to center field, to the amusement of Reed's listeners.
Thurber ends his story with the authenticating phrase. “If you don’t believe it, you could look it up.”
COUNSEL'NG
Students Get Advisement In Courses
A university - wide progr am of extended counseling, designed to ‘‘breathe new life and dignity into SC students, ha« iust been
announced bv Dr. W'Jliam H. McGrath, assistant dean of students— men.
“Several radical and important j changes will take place in the social organization of the SC cammis as the result of the death of Kappa Sig nledge Richard Swanson.” Dr. McGrath said.
He pointed out that the proposed program of extended counseling for all students would eliminate the possibility of such mishaps as the Swanson death from re-occurring.
“This program will include a series of additional comnulsory classes,” Dr. McGrath explained.
ft	Lecture	Series
These “orientation” -classes will be in thn form of labs, added to such required courses as Physical Education 160.
“In realitv Ihese labs will be lectures bv deans, vice presidents of the univers'H. top professors and sruests of the university,” Dr. McGrath explained.
In this way, the administration hopes to brine the realities of | student life—social psychological and academic -— closer to freshman students.
“They’ll now’ know what is I exDected of them,” Dr. McGrath added.
Other plans for improving the student body's attitudes in this program include the awarding of several freshman achievement awards and numerous cultural aids.
Reading« and Luncheons
“Lectures will be taped during classes and collected in the audio-visual department for student reference,” Dr. McGrath said.
He said he will also assign readings in etiquette books to students who come to him with problems in this area.
In addition. Dr. McGrath will be meeting once a week for luncheon with a group of about 12 students to discuss with them individual programs.
“We also hope to initiate a j program of speakers for living j groups, classes and organiza- I tions.” he added.
HOMECOMING FESTIVAL ENTERS INTO FIRST STAGES
Homecoming preparations swing into high gear today as rehearsals and booth-building enter their final stages, said Thad Brown, Homecoming chairman.
It will be the first time that b*oth SC and UCLA will hold their homecomings in the same week, he added.
Dean of students Robert J. Downey said that he hoped all students would try to make both Homecoming celebrations a success through their cooperative actions.
‘‘As this is the first year that SC and UCLA are holding a joint homecoming, that is, during the same week, the success of both the Homecoming as well as the football classic depends on the mutual respect and concern for the activities and property of both universities,” Dr. Downey said.
“It is a tribute to the two great universities, their alumni and students, that such an undertaking is possible.” he said.
“It is our sincere hope that, with the Homecoming Dance this Saturday night, we shall culminate what will be termed the greatest Homecoming in SC’s history,” he concluded.
Among the Homecoming activities will be Belly-dancers, espresso coffee, movies and fortune-telling. These are only a few of the many attractions planned for the Troyland carnival this Friday night on Bovard Field, Brown said.
Dave Pell and his band will provide the music at the carnival and trophies will be awarded to the best booths.
The field will be open for preparations Thursday at 6 p.m., said Brown. A football rally for the game will be held at 11 p.m. at the carnival.

Student s Dad Among Dead In Air Crash
Don Pedro Ruben Marco, noted Cuban architect, flying from Havana to see his son, an SC architecture student, was killed yesterday in the crash of a National Airlines plane' in the Gulf of Mexico.
The son. 20-year-old Pedro Ruben Marco, is in Mercy Hospital in Bakersfield, where he has been a patient since he was critically injured in an automobile accident en route to the SC-Califor-nia football game in Berkeley on Oct. 30.
He ,was driving to Berkeley with two Marines when he was involved in a head-on collision on a turn eight miles from Taft.
Marco's legs and pelvis were broken, and he suffered severe head injuries. He did not regain consciousness until a few days ago.
Viets Logue. foreign student adviser, has visited young Marco twice in the hospital to make sure he was receiving all possible care.
Losue was at International Airport yesterday morning to meet the father when he was infoimed of the fatal plane crash, which took 42 lives.
The book, which uses 'pattern practice” .to teach grammar, is I currently being printed and j should be distributed some time next March, Dr. Bolinger said.
Pattern Practice
“In helping students overcome I the age-old problem of learning I correct grammar and usage. Modern Spanish’ uses pattern practice concentrating on specific grammar rules,” Dr. Bolinger explained.
“T h e book reproduces instances in everyday life which emphasize certain rules in many different situations, so that students will learn them automatically.”
Films Complement Twenty-four short films will complement the textbook. Dr. Bolinger said. Themes of the films will be taken from a series of dialogues depicting everyday occurrences, including politics, dating and traffic jams.
Dr. Bolinger's associates in writing are Dr. Agnes Brody, University of Kansas: Dr. Ernest Haden, University of Texas: Dr. Lawrence Poston, University ‘of Oklahoma; Dr. Norman Sacks. Oberlrn College; and Dr. J. Donald Bowen, Philippine Center of Education.
Reinvest Royalties Royalties from “Modern Spanish” will be reinvested in the compilation of other language textbooks for the Modern Language Association of America. Dr. Bolinger said.
This is the largest language ; association in the country and is | subsidized by the Rockefeller Foundation.

student government and give the precC(|enfed “urgent meeting” in
vturlent body a new- vehicle foi ^¡j. president’s office today after legislative power. ASSC Presi- I fjrjng an official five-point at-dent W ally Karabian has or- tack upon the inherent weak* dered a social meeting of his j nesses of lhe ASSC SenatP
The presidential-a p p o i n t e d committee will voice their “new I constitution” at the afternoon i meeting and an extraordinary I Senate meeting, also called by i Karabian yesterday, will be held tomorrow at 7 in the Senat* i Chamber to hear the revolutlon-arv results.
In an official statement frryn i Karabian’s office, the student | body president told of the fiv*
■ kev areas of the present student I government system which must be reorganized.
I “My attack was aimed at thi basic Siena te structure.” he de-! clared. ‘‘not at senatorial person*
alities.”
“My comments on the present | Senate are aimed directly at a I structure which is top-heavy and ; liable to collapse any minute," the ASSC President said.
His official five-point state-ment says:
1.	The present structure of fh? ASSC Senate is inherently un-
j representative of the desire and interests of the entire academic | community.
2.	It unfairly focuses all atten-tion upon the Senate rathpr than upon its subordinate bodies and organizations.
3.	It lacks adequate channels for researching and analyzing campus issues.
4.	It denies the student bod” its inherent right of expression
1 in student affairs.
5.	The present structure of t' « ASSC Senate lacks the pro*w means to carry out the powers.
1 duties and responsibilities inherent in any government.
The constitutional committee — headed by ASSC Parliamentarian Gary Dubin. and members Harold Fong, senator-at-large; Cl arlene Miller, faculty-student relations chairman: Stevie Adams, secretary:	and Davie
Barnes, senior class president—
I vvill now decide on a new constitution and act on Karabian's organized complaints.
This constitution will be read at tomorrow night’s Senate meeting, hut, according to the nresent ASSC Constitutional ruling. will not be debated upon.
“This is the primary reason for this special Senate meeting.” Karabian said. “The new constitution will he read and then debated at the next regular Senate j meeting.”
The next regular Senate meeting is on Dec. 2.
Chairman Dubin said, “We must allow’ student government ! to function more effectively.” “Karabian took the initiative to appoint a nresidential committee responsible only to him,”
! the parliamentarian said.
The job of this committee was to analyze the present governmental structure and to advise the president on the changes ; needed to make it effective.”
I ‘We feel that only a new con-situation with a new student epv-ernment can achieve this goal.” he said.
“The main reason for revamping the senatorial government is is to give the student hodv more ; nower to legislate effectively," Eubin added.
“At the present, we do not have the means to legislate and l the new constitution i« an at-[ tempt to remedy this situation.” he concluded.
President Karabian said that his criticism and subsequent action is purely of a structural nature.
“The ASSC Senate has been more active this year than e'er before, but we must revise our present constitution in order to allow student government to function more effectively and democratically.” he said.
Opposition to a new constitution is exoected to come from manv of the Senate members.
They will, however, have two weeks to think of negative arguments before the next regular Senate meeting.
Both Karabian and Dubin said that they exoect to have some soirited oDposition, but that clear, intelligent thinking on the part of the Senate should re- . suit In the immediate* adoption of this new constitution.
After Senatorial sanction it will he placed on the student body ballot for ratification by the student-body-at-large*
'Hedda Gabler To Represent Nihilist Type
By BARBARA EPSTEIX
1 A ruthless woman, consumed by tne desire to control a human destiny, will be the subject of today’s Philosophy Forum at 4:15 p.m. in Bowne Hall.
The leading character from Henrik Ibsen's 19th century psy-; chological drama “Hecida Gab-j ler” w ill be analyzed by Dr. Wilbur H. Long, professor ot philosophy, in the last of the Philosophy Forum's "Six Experiments in Value Conflicts.”
‘Hedda represents a personal type of Nihilism,” said Dr. Long. "She is totally devoid of any moral point of view and is without any sense of the value of the world.”
Xo Value
According to Nihilist philosophy man's life has no meaning or value, and the world in which man lives has no moral order. Dr. Long explained.
He will interpret Hedda's selfish. amoral actions as falling within the confines of the Nihilist doctrine, he said.
Throughout the play, Hedda's central motivation ’ is to dominate the life of Ellert Louborg, an intelleciua: ex-suitor of hers whose life has been wasted in profligate living. She determines to mold him to her satisfaction by urging him toward self-loath-j ing.
I.ast Scene
The last scene of the play will be presented this afternoon by j advanced drama students Nina Shaw. A! Cruse. Ellen Elliott j and Richard Lang Jr.. under the 1 direction of John Blankenchip. assistant professor of drama.
Its action will reveal the frustrations that Hedda faces in trying ,to assert her will, said Blankenchip.
Hedda. disgusted with mediocrity in an y form, rebels against the middle class tastes and manners of her contemporaries, their social conventionalities and romantic sentimentalities. explained Dr. Long.
Loathes Drabness
She loathes the drabness of child hearing and home life and resents the limitations that financial difficulties impose.
The only goal worth pursuing becomes the prospect of influencing Lovbor. the superior intellect and idealist, continued Dr. Long.
"The play is somewhat unique in not being concerned with any moral or social doctrine,” added Dr. Long.
He said that the real drama of the play is concentrated in Hedda's ammorality. representing the Nihilist school which says that man “stands naked and helpless before the abyss of Nothingness,” he continued.
El Rod Cops Excellent Title
El Rodeo Yearbook was called “one of the best yearbooks ever seen” by its judges as it received the National School Yearbook Association rating of “A” and a commendation for excellence.
N.S. Patterson. NSYA director, said a score of excellent was given to only about 5 or 10 per cent of the books in El Rodeo's particular classification.
“Th;s book was a most impressive one and competed with the best overall yearbook entries we have ever received.” he said.
The NSYA judges both spring and fall semester yearbooks.
Last year’s El Rod Editor was Frank Gleberman. who is doing the job aeain this year. Staff adviser is Tim Reilly, manager of | student publications.
“The 1959 yearbooks entered in i our scoring service showed ( marked improvement over those of last year’s entries,” said Dr. i William H. Talt, chief NSYA I judge, in reference to the other yearbooks in the class with SC's.
