Faculty Hears Pundit Expose Smoking Evils
Hy KARRAKA KPSTEIX
Dr. Linus Pauling tightened the rope around the smoker's ! neck yesterday by pointing to cigarettes as the biggesl ihief of human life.
The Noble Prize-winning sci- , enlist, speaking to the SC Fac- ■ uJty CJub on “Aging and Death” i st its weekly luncheon meeting, told his audience thaï cigarettes j are reducing the life span of | Americans faster than any disease. including cancer.
“Cigarette smoking is the , principle cause for decreasing i the life span of Americans.” he i said.
The average American, smok- j ing ? full pack of cigarettes per day. shortens his life expeclancy bv eight years, said Dr. Paulin"
Age Cut
Looking at each cigarette as ; *»n individual age-leveler. the famed Caltech chemist told ; smokers that “you age yourself | three times more than it takes you to smoke a cigarette.”
He said that the pack-a-day smoker spends one-fifth of his | day or 4.8 oui of every 24 hours putting on a cigarette.
This means that for every cig- * »rette smoked the life expect- s ancy of the cigaiette smoker decreases by 14.4 minutes.
“The decrease in life-expect-ancy ic probably not zero for the non-smoker, either, because he has to smell cigarette smoke «II the time,” Dr. Pauling added.
Aches, Pain*
While cigarette-smoking shortens the life span ¡1 does not release smokers from the achcs and pains that often accompany old age the Caltech chemist continued.
Dr. Pauling told his audience, none of whom were smoking at the time, that smokers won’t “miss out’’ on old age but will merely age that much more rapidly.
“Smoking cigarettes doesn't release you from the misery of old age,” he said. “Cigarette smoking increases the physiological age above the chronological age.”
fopp.vctM'li C'laitn
Dr. Pauling, called "one of ihe decade's outstanding leaders” by Dr. William Perkiijs, program chairman of the Faculty Club, dismissed «s “poppcock" the claim of cigarette manufacturers that cigarettes* are harmless.
“There is absolutely nft doubt about the statements I have made,” he slated positively.
The life span of pipe and cigar smokers is reduced by only two | years because they “probably don'1 inhale the smoke," added Dr. Pauling.
Drinking a cocktail before dinner also acts as a life-span ! increasing agent, said Dr. Pauling.

France Gets Little With Atomic Blast
Fiance’s recent entry into the “A-Club" doesn't mean she has now become a world power, says I Dr. Lowell G. Noonan. SC associate professor of political sci-I ence.
Fiance became a member of the “nuclear club” (»hich! i hitherto included only the U.S., ihe Soviet Union and Britain) Iasi Saturday when she set off' i an atomic bomb at the top of a lower deep in the Sahara.
“Although France now has the atomic bomb, ii doesn't mean she has the means to implement j such national objectives as equal i I treatment with Britain and the ! U.S. in NATO or arbitration be-| tween Russia and the U.S.” he ' says.
Prestige Increased
The French, like everyone ! else, tend to dream their dreams, I but, unlike everyone else, they i also tend to seek realities in ! them, Dr. Noonan believes.
"Power is a matter of fact, not sentiment. Although French j prestige has. of course, increased 1 greatly because of her recent A-bomb test, this does nol mean | she now has the other military and political implements to put her on an equal footing with Britain, the U.S. and Russia.” he says.

Death Takes Chief's Wife

Death ~as accidental, according to an attendinc physician.
The Michaels had just moved Into the new home at 4733 Don Zarembo drive, and Mrs. Michael was looking forward to decorating the place, friends said.
Funeral services are pending.

Ann Daniels. 23-year-old §C graduate, has been selected for the title role in the famed outdoor play. “Ramona.” staged each year in the Ramona Bowl hy ihe people of Hemet and San j Jacinto.
The play will run for three ! consecutive weekends beginning I April 23 and 24.
The SC drama major won out over 12 other contestants for the role.
Miss Daniels admitted, “I’ve | never seen the drama, 'Ramo- , na,’ but at least I won't be com- j paring my performance with the other Ramonas.”
At SC she played in a long list of productions including "The Twin Menaehmi.” "Blood Wedding." "Summer and Smoke. "Cradle Song." "?kin of Our Teeth." "Macbeth" and "The Brick and The Rose.”
She also played in several experimental theatre productions. !

“The Fourth Republic of France perished on the other side of the Mediterranean. What happens now in Algeria will determine whether the Fifth Republic meets the same fate," he says.
Gives Solutions
France, under Charles de Gaulle's regime, can resort lo a number of solutions to the Alger i a n problem, he believes. “The French can continue a policy of pacification by the military, which even de Gaulle admits hasn't worked, or they can pursue an outright war of extermination of the Arabs.
"However ,the most likely and best solution would be negotiation w ith the leaders of the FLM (Algerian rebel organization) preparatory to a ceasefire, a solution which de Gaulle is cur- j rent.lv working on,” Dr. Noonan* says.

Agreement Necessary
"The French A-bomb explosion hasn't improved relations with Morocco and Tunis either, both of which countries’ agreement is necessary for settlement of the Algerian problem.” he says.
Manx nations of Africa—particularly Morocco, Nigeria. Ghana and Guinea, which all felt uncomfortably close to the French test site at Tanezrouf, southwest of Reggane, protested vigorously against the French about the explosion.

Pledge Period Comes to End For Row Life
When the two-week fraternity pledge period ended at 5 p.m. yesterday, a total of 166 new members had paid ihe $2 initiation fee, John Berne, counselor of men's organizations said.
With 31 houses on the row,
I this means that the average I pledge class w as 5.3 members, he added.
Making up for their weaker-than-usual fall quota, Sigma Chi led with 18 pledges, followed by Sigma Alpha Epsilon with 16.
Berne said that houses with I membership of 35 or less may | pledge throughout the semester until they reach 35 members.
Rushing was off 17 per cent from ihe last corresponding spring rush period when approximately 200 joined fraternities.
“All indications point to the fact that our rushing has suffered as a result of the undesirable image the general public has of the fraternity system.”
Berne said.

"There aren't enough people who bother to keep informed,” continued the AWS lecturer, known also for her work as a book critic.
Such w'cmen as Frances Perkins, former secretary of labor, who have climbed to the "highest echelons in politics,” have done so by becoming experts in some field. Mrs. Hardy said.
"The woman w ho emerges as an expert is very likely to be asked to take pari in politics." she said.
Mrs. Haidy herself, got into the political world via that route, having been requested to run for the Board of Education because of her extensive work with young people in the community, she explained.
Women can play a very important part in today’s politically turbulent world if they will ust let themselves get interested. Mrs. Hardy feels.

“The party also hopes to win back Assembly seats lost in 1958 and to prevent reapportion-ment,” said Fryer.
Chick announced that the SC Young Democrats have endorsed California Governor Pal Brown for president.
“Of course we are not discouraging groups within the club from supporting other candidates, but the club as a whole

ASSC President Wally Karabian called last night's Senate meeting the best he'd ever seen. For him it was.
His proposed standing rules for the senate were adopted with no revisions, his statute to establish major-field-of-study organizations was adopted with only minor revisions and his personal choice for president pro-tem. Jerry Sherman, was unanimously elected.
Karabian never lost control over the body of 39 senators, and met several minor crises with smooth-talking ability matched only by his political conlederate. Parliamentarian Gary Dubin.
As a surprise to nobodv. Karabian named Dubin chairman of the omnipotent rules committee. As rules chairman, ^ Dubin will not have the power stated in the original diaft of the j standing rules drawn up earlier this week
Difficult Vote
In that copy, the only way legislation could be brought be-j fore the-Senate w ithout the approval of the rules committee i was by a two-thirds vote of the senate. To get a two-thirds vote j would be. by Karabian's admission. very difficult. i In the mimeographed copies of the standing rules proposed by Karabian and Dubin last night, however, the two-thirds vote had been changed to read a majority vote, thus greatly I simplifying the task of bypassing the rules committee.
Despite Karabian’s . compromise on this issue, there was still some question raised as to the power wielded by the rules committee.
Go Along
Senator Stan Gottlieb suggested that members of the rules committee not be chosen bv the chaiiman. since he would probably sclecf only these he fe t would go along with his policies.
Gottlieb's proposal u'as largely lost in bickering over the advisability of retaining commit-i tees which had been useless un-i der the old senate.
In debate after his move to alter the selection of the rules committee, the, question came up again regarding the power of ; I hit body.
Senator Jack Karp asked. "Can the rules committee prevent a piece of legislation from reaching the senate floor?” Karabian admitted it could. But he qualified his affirmative answer by trying to pass the question off as quickly as possible. saving. "Let's not worry about it. We’re looking at this from a negative point of view. The rules committee is here to helo you on your legislation.” Senator Hugh Helm asked. “Will there he no legislation on the floor without the rules committee?"
Majority Vote
At this, Karabian pointed to section F of article VI in the standing rules, giving the Senate the right to produce legislation with a majority votp. This appeased Helm and the other senators, who only murmured their questions about the rules committee to one another after Karabian's change in (Continued on Page 2)
