Medical School Files Brief Against County
The SC Medical School along with two other southland medical schools have filed written briefs
with the District Court of Appeals for $857,000 concerning legalities in a controversy between Los Angeles County and the schools for services rendered.
This suit over legalities is based on contracts for annual services performed at Los Angeles County General Hospital by SC amounting to §419,000; College of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons, $120,000: and College of Medical Evangelists, $318,000.
The Board of Supervisors agreed to pay the annual amounts last March, but Supervisor John Ford, chairman, refused to sign the contracts in order to seek a court ruling on their legality, not because he disapproved paying the amounts.
Kennedy argued that the value of the services provided by the three schools and their facilities far exceeds the cost to the county.

Private Colleges Praised By Kuchel in Campus Talk
★ ★ ★ ★ • ★ Kuchel Lauds Warren Appointment to Court
“Earl Warren will be a strong Chief Justice,” Senator Kuchel predicted yesterday.
While discussing the rise of prominence of Californians in the Federal government with reporters before his Founders Day speech, the Senator also praised Senate Majority Leader William Knowland and Vice- President Richard Nixon.
“There is no greater patriot in thje American govenrment than Bill Knowland,” Kuchel said of his colleague.
“He has been doing very im-
I portant chores for the President,”
1 the Senator said of Nixon. “His present trip will indicate to the free nations he visits the friendship of the American people for freedom-loving people all over the globe,” Kuchel aded.
Elaborating on his faith in Warren, Kuchel said, “He Will bring common sense, a fine legal mind, aijd American idealism to the Court.”
“The nation may be proud of California’s contribution to the Federal government,” Kuchel said.

Student elections will get underway officially tomorrow morning with 39 candidates running for 12 offices.
Polls in Alumni Park, in front of the Doheny Library Building, will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both Thursday and Friday. In case of rain the polls will be moved to the basement of the Commons Building.
Although many more offices are at stake, campaigning has been very light in comparison to last year, according to Elections Commissioner Chuck McClure.
Everybody Votes
Every student will receive the “A” ballot for electing the ASSC vice-president and senator-at-large. Students eligible to vote for class or school officers will be given the special ballot for their class or school.
He emphasized that, in order to vote, a student must have an ID card filled out in ink. Duplicate ID cards, filled out at registra-
social activities for the indepen dent students. This is such a vi- J tal need and yet so often overlooked. Another goal which I have set is the continuation of the calendar committee,, which arranges and coordinates dates of meetings and social events.
I'd like to work in harmony with all social chairmen in planning the social schedule and revising the social handbook to meet the current needs of all groups. All requests lor closed dates should be submitted early so that the social program set up could be mimeographed and sent to all social Chairmen.
In this way, conflicting dates would be avoided, and fines and penalties minimized. In handling the social petitions I would be completely fair and just to all participating groups.
Working for our university has always been an important part of my college life. As Troed President, Treasurer of Freshman Woman’s Council. President of Alpha Lambda Delta scholastic honorary, | and YWCA committee, I gained a ' f roat deal of experiencee in my !
Frshman term. Later I was a

Board senior honorary, senator-at-large and maintained an accumulative 3.7 grade point.
With this background I am asking for your support. I would work hard to serve you well as Vice-President—the social chairman of the university and official hostess of the school—always believing that the social policies of A S.S.C. should be set on an adult plane and that social rules should be an aid rather than a hinderance to social development.
“I will personally guarantee | that this will be one of the fairest elections that we have ever had,” said McClure.
Don’t Paint He reminded candidates that painting on public property to advertise a student's candidacy is not allowed, and all posters must have a stamp of approval, which can be obtained in 228 SU between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. every day, or from McClure.
“There will be no campaigning allowed within 100 feet of the polling area—in other words, the entire block of Alumni Park and the Library,” said McClure.
Financial reports from all candidates will be due Friday, and should be turned in to McClure at the polling area. Report forms may be obtained at 228 US.
Obey Rules Candidates are urged to adhere I strictly to the rules, and fines will be imposed on those who deviate, he said.
Ballots will be counted Friday
afternoon and evening, and results will be posted in 418 SU as
soon as they become official.
School of Public Administration students will choose a five-man council including a president in a new type of election to the SC political scene. A preferential voting system will be used to choose the five members of the School council. The councilman who receives the most first preference votes will automatically become president of the School of Public Administration.
Senate Seat The Public Administration president is expected to have a voting seat on the ASSC Senate soon. After the president is elected, only technicalities stand in the way of a Senate seat for the Public Administration School.
In the ASSC vice-presidential race, Joan Nelson, backed by the All-U party, is running against Bobette Bentley, backed by TRG and Unity parties. Miss Bentley resigned her senator-at-large position last week in order to run for the vice-presidency.
Losers Vie Two candidates defeated for top ASSC positions in last spring’s elections oppose each other in the race for the senator-at-large seat resigned by Miss Bentley. Arne Lindgren, a former senator-at-large who lost in his bid for the ASSC presidency last May, is running against Nancy Mispagel, who was defeated in the ASSC secretary race in the spring. Miss Mispagel is backed by All-U party, while Lindgren is running with TRG backing.
LAS President Five Trojan men will compete for the presidency of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences resigned by Jim Smith.
Three women are in the race for Music School president, while five students are running for Junior Class vice-president.
Runoff elections are probable in freshman class races where nine are competing for the presidency and eight are vying for vice-president.
Spanish Students
Anyone possessing a copy of a book entitled “Intensive Spanish” and who wishes to sell it is urged to bring it to the Spanish Office, FH 410, between 9 a.m. and noon today and the rest of this week.
According to Professor Dwight L. Bolinger, head of the Spanish department, a serious shortage of textbooks has occurred.
“We shall accept any book, regardless of condition, so long as all the pages are present,” Prof. Bolinfcer said.	\
Opera Positions Open to Trojans
Positions as spear-carriers and walk-ons for the San Francisco Opera Company’s coming productions at the Shrine Auditorium are open to SC men students, according to representatives of the production staff.
Operas available include “Me-fistofele” on Oct. 19, “Boris Go-dounoff” on Oct. 21, “Otello” on Oct. 26, and “Carmen” on Oct. 27.
Men students who are interested can make application to work in one or as many operas as they wish. They should write to Arthur Warner, 2550 Kemper Street, La Crescenta. giving 'height, weight, and their opera préférences.
JOAN NELSON . . . vice-president
I am a candidate for the position of ASSC vice-president. As you know the vice-president is your official hostess and is in charge of coordinating all social activities on campus. I feel that I understand fully the duties of this office from my service on the ASSC social committee, which is directly under the supervision of the vice-president.
Coordinating the social activities of such a large university as SC may be achieved only through active student participation, both organized and individual. Following is a list of ideas which I believe would accomplish this program:
1.	Closer integrated All-University open houses that will reflect the real spirit of SC.
2.	A special All-University Christmas party with entertainment provided by various groups
on campus depicting the Christmas traditions of several countries.
3.	Informal coffee hours each semester at which the campus leaders discuss university activities with the new students. This I believe would aid in Freshman orientation on the social level, tions may come to discuss questions involving social activities
4.	Bi-monthly meetings of the social committee where the social chairman of all campus organiza-and to offer common problems.
This program in its general aspects is intended to aid the students at large, but with specific provisions for those in a rather unique situation, such as the night students and the daily commuters. These students should have the opportunity to enjoy an all inclusive social life.
I believe that such a plan may be achieved through active student participation under my leadership.
Universities Freedom Key, Senator Says
by Bob Stitser
As long as private colleges exist, they will protect and insulate all state institutions from political domination, political pressures, and political interference, U. S. Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel said yes-¡terda.y morning in his Founders Day address.
“As long as the independent colleges are free to speak, few will dare and none will for long succeed in bending any public institutions to political use,” Senator Kuchel said before a packed Bo-vard audience.
Colleges fight against political pressures through the many voices of their graduates who have been instructed in the philosophy that the “power” belongs in the hands of the people and not the state, said Kuchel.
First Step
“This instruction is the first step in making dictatorship and totalitarianism abhorrent and impossible,” he said.
Senator Kuchel,. who was graduated from SC in 1932 cum laude and then continued on to get a law degree in 1935, told how SC has kept apae.e with society’s growth around it.
He quoted Joseph P. Widney, dean of the university in 1888, in ?nswer to the question of why the imposing name, University of Southern California, was taken when there were only three students in the graduating class of 1884.
Looking Forward
“ ‘Because of our broad university plan of making Los Angeles the educational center of the Southwestern quarter of the continent,’ ” said Dean Widney, “ *It is that future to which we are looking forward, and for which we are planning.’ ”
Dean Widney, as quoted by Senator Kuchel, went on to say that “ ‘the founders of the university have lain the educational foundation of SC so broad, so liberal, and so enduring that our work shall live after us.’ ”
“And indeed SC has lived after the founding fathers,” said Senator Kuchel, who pointed out that SC is now' one of the six largest | private colleges in the world.
“It has grown and will continue | to grow, because its administrators have been convinced of the | transcendental worth of the free | enterprise system as found and ! taught in private universities.
I “Other sectors of the world are t being beaten down to slavery under the theories of Karl Marx and Joseph Stalin .through intrigue, sabotage, coercion, and occasional military aggression.
Grave Crisis
“With countless millions submerged by this tyranny, our world is confronted by the gravest crisis in history,” said Senator Kuchel.
It is the universities of the free world which must play a great part in stemming this tyranny, according to Kuchel.
“But in order to survive, such universities need the support of free men and free enterprise,” said Senator Kuchel.
“It w'ould be a tragic thing to the whole cause of freedom if private education w^ere to falter or to fail. It must not do so.
“It will not do so, if the people of this area, and the business community of this area, serve the same high purposes of our University ’ founders,” said Senator Kuchel.
Senator Kuchel told his audience of the hardships the founders met with during the 1870’s when plans for the university were taking shape.
“The panic of 1873 and the drought of 1877 made the decade of the seventies a period of depression. Some of the earliest authors I _	^ (Continued on Page 4)

Beaming Coed Shoves Aside Campus Brass
A coed slipped through the group of campus brass surrounding Senator Kuchel after his Founders Day speech yesterday.
‘‘That was a real grand speech,” she beamed, moving up to the Senator’s side.
Kuchel’s attention immediately turned from the administrators and professors to the student.
“You’re prejudice d,” he smiled, taking her hand#
Then the Senator took a few moments out to talk with his niece, Dorothy Kuchel, before the sophomore coed dashed off for her 11 o'clock class.
Jr. Class Council Members Selected
Art Bali Set Tomorrow At Palladium
The Art Students Ball, sponsored by the Fine Arts departments of SC, UCLA, and several other Los Angeles area colleges, will be held tomorrow evening from 8:30 to 2 a.m. at the Hollywood Palladium.
Publicity Director Sarah P. Millier, of the Chouinard Art Institute, reported that the highlight of the evening will be a wedding eelebration of the queen of the Lost Continent of Atlantis. This pantomime will take place in an under-sea setting.
Miss Carol Wood, SC’s candidate in the Queen of Atlantis contest held earlier this week, will serve as one of the maidens-in-
waitiog in the pantomime.
Reigning as queen will be Miss Joyce Freeman of UCLA.
Miss Millier said that the Ball, which last year attracted 1600 persons, was initiated in 1948 by Chouinard to obtain scholarship funds for talented art students of the participating schools.
Ray Anthony and his band will provide music for the ball.
Those who wish to buy tickets may get them in the Fine Arts office in Harris Hall. General admission is $2.50, and tfc« student rate is $2.	^
Selection of 87 members for the ! Junior Council has been com-I pleted, said Rodger Darbonne, Junior class president.
Darbonne stated that his choice was made from 150 applicants on the basis of the petitions, interviews, and past student activities.;
“There was no particular break down on campus groups represented, since this was not considered in the selection, but there are, however, a great number of | transfer students,” he said.
Projects Planned
In outlining forthcoming projects for the council and class as a whole, Darbonne said that they will work toward the publication of a student directory, song books for Homecoming, and better lighting for University Avenue between Jefferson Boulevard and 28th Street.
He appealed to all the applicants who were not selected for council duties to remain active in sup- j porting class activities throughout the year, and especially urged all juniors to vote for their class vice-president Thursday and Friday.
Wednesday Meeting
“We urge all juniors, regardless of whether or not they are on the council, to sit in on the meetings, which will be held at 3 p.m. every Wednesday starting next week,” he said.
Darbonne said that more than three absences from council meetings will constitute grounds for dropping a member.
