PROFESSORS SPLIT DN IKE PROPOSAL
by Susie McBee
Two SC political experts, in a |T interview yesterday, took op-losing views of the new proposal President Eisenhower that any (erson, especially a Communist iader, “hereafter” convicted un-ler the Smith Act of plotting to verthrow the government “be leemed to have forfeited” his U.S. itizenship.
I Dr. Russell Caldwell, associate Irofessor of history, said that the lower to revoke citizenship is too |reat a power to give to the President.
Opposite View
I Supporting the proposed legis-^tion, Dr. Wilbert L. Hindman, ssociate professor of political sci--joe, said that “a proved Communist. convicted under the mith Act, has already been rec-gnized as one who has himself enounced U.S. citizenship, i “A proved Communist has, in ffect, accepted the ideas of the
I'ommunist International, a subdiary of the Soviet Union. It as always been true in America iat if a citizen takes oath to a )reign power, he loses U.S. citi-^nship,” Hindman says.

T Reporter ecomes Pa 1Of Baby Boy
DT reporter Jim Foley became he father of an 8 pound 5 ounce x>.v last Sunday.
The baby was bom at 12:47 j.m. at Queen of Angels Hospital md is 22 inches long. He looks
[ust like Jim and, in fact, is lamed James William Foley. * All this his father told the rest if the staff.

‘Oh, said Mr. Foley, “my wife (Margaret is doing fine.”
j posal, made last week to Congress in his “State of the Union” mes-I sage and since offered as a bill by Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (R.-Me.), would be roughly equal to convictions of treason and I would make the Red leaders “stateless” persons without any i nationality or citizenship privileges.
Dr. Caldwell, who opposed the plan, said “we have already yielded too much power to the President.
“U.S. citizenship is the most precious thing next to life itself. To revoke it is too great a power to entrust to any one person, or any one branch of the government,” he said.
Too Much Power
“The American President already has more power than any other national leader in the world. His power shouldn’t be developed recklessly.
“If this power were given to President Eisenhower, he and the executive department might give the enforcement of it to Attorney General Brownell, who has been reckless in matters of justice in the past.”
Dr. Caldwell referred to Brownell’s recent accusation of ex-President Truman of “virtual treason” in the Harry Dexter White case.
Legislative Function
He concluded that if the President had the power to revoke citizenship, he would have another legislative function.
Dr. Hindman, in analyzing the legalistic aspects of the proposal, said that a Red convicted under the Smith Act would automatically lose his citizenship.
“The President then would not decide whether a person loses his citizenship,” he said. “The decision would be automatic with the court conviction. It would be like a penalty for treason.”
Dr. Hindman said that the bill will probably be parsed because “Congress is on record of favoring many things mentioned in this proposal.”
KEN SHANKS
. . . producer extraordinary
Shanks Elected Producer of Varsity Show
Ken Shanks, speech instructor and former IFC Coordinator, was unanimously elected producer of the. 1954 Varsity Show, succeeding Dick Porter who handed in his resignation Friday.
The announcement was made by Verne Cooney, newly-appointed chairman of the Varsity Show Production Group.
Shanks has been prominent in SC drama circles and is well-known for his sharp wit, humorous debates, and comical acting roles. He was featured as Pierre Patalin in the play of the same name last year and took the part of DeWitt Goodrich in the 1952 Varsity Show.
In other Varsity Show developments, Director Dave Worth announced that tryouts and casting for the show will be held the first week of the new semester. Exact time and place will be set later, Worth said.
Dr. James Butler, head of the Varsity Show faculty advisory committee, reported the highlights of a meeting held Friday
The original script was submitted by Dave Rankin and Ross Sonne in December, Butler said. He added that their treatment was approved and that their completed script will be approved unless it is totally without merit.
Since then, Warren Brown, a cinema major, submitted a script with the theme based upon an old Greek comedy which will be considered as an alternate if the Sonne-Rankin script is, for any reason, found unacceptable, Butler said.

SC Journalism Fraternity Casts Unamimous Ballot
Vice-President Richard M. Nixon has been selected as “Southern California Man of the Year” by SC undergraduate chapter of Sigma Delta Chi in Conjunction with the Daily Trojan.
Nixon was selected Friday in a unanimious vote cast by members of the professional journalism fraternity. The Vice-President will be the first recipient of this annual
award.
Presentation will be made at the California Newspaper Association’s annual convention Feb. 4.
Nixon has climbed in eight and one half years from political nothingness to a vice-president who is really No. 2 man in national stature. Reports from
Washington indicate that Nixon has become a molder of U.S. policy rather than a figurehead, the role usually played by a vice-president.
Most Valqable Player
It has been reported that President Eisenhower has privately called Nixon “the most valuable member of my team.”
Nixon’s world-wide tour as representative of the United States
and Eisenhower has been the most recent of his important tasks for the administration. The
President has said he Is highly
pleased with the way Nixon handled his foreign mission.
The 10-week good will trip took Nixon through 45,000 miles of conferences with national leaders, speeches, handshakes, and observations to bring to Ike and the American people. Upon his return “Time” magazine characterized the vice-president as “the Eisenhower administration official most likely to succeed.”
Special Duties
On the home front, the President has also delegated duties of unusual importance to the vice-president, and reports from the Capital say Nixon has carried through quietly and efficiently.
The pride of Whittier has presided over both the Cabinet and the National Security Council in the absence of the President. One of his chief duties has been to promote harmony betweeen the White House and Congressmen whose actions threaten administration plans.
Many Considered
There have been many instances in which his calm, analytical persuasion has brought Congressional support to Administration policy.
Himself a former congressional investigator of Communist infiltration, Nixon has been especially valuable in dealing with Red Hunters Sen. Joseph McCarthy and Rep. Harold Velde.
“Many outstanding Southern California citizens were considered,” SDX President Bob Krauch said, “but because Vice-President Nixon has carried out his momentous responsibilities in such an outstanding manner he is our choice.”

Dahl's Compositions Will Be Given In Bovard Concert Tonight at 8:30
Ingolf Dahl, versatile SC music professor recently returned from a year of composition in Austria, will present four of his most recent works in a program tonight at 8:30 in Bovard Auditorium. '
The program is sponsored by the Evenings on the Roof organization and the music department.
Dahl, director of the university orchestra and instructor in composition and conducting at SC, visited Austria as a Guggenheim Fellowship winner and returned to the United States early this fall. Two of his compositions will be presented for the first time in Los Angeles tonight.
The Concerto for Saxophone, written by Dahl in 1949 for saxophone virtuoso Sigurd Rascher and frequently played in the East and in Europe, will be one of these compositions. It was originally written for a large band, but was recently rescored in order to make
it available for performances by symphony orchestras.
Soloist
William Ulyate of the Fox Studio Orchestra will be soloist in the saxophone concerto. A special wind section made up of selected members of the SC Band will provide orchestral background for the concerto.
Dahl’s second unreleased work, his Sonata Seria' for piano solo, also is a feature of the program this evening. The Sonata, written a few months ago in Austria, will be presented for the first time anywhere with the composer at the piano.
Older Works
Two older and better known ■Dahl musical works, his Music, for Brass Instruments and his Con-cereo a Tre for clarinet, violin, and cello, will complete the evening’s program. The Music for Brass composition, written for performance by an instrumental quin-
tet, has been presented in Los Angeles a number of times. It will be played by a quintet consisting of RObeft Cairns, George Hyde, Robert Marsteller, Lester Remsen, and Robert Stolz.
The Concerto for Saxophone and the Music for Brass Instruments will both be conducted by Dahl.
Concerto a Tre, composed in 1947, gained national popularity when recorded by the Columbia Recording Company last year. It will be performed by Mitchell Lurie, Dorothy Wade, and Emmet Sargent.
In Austria
Dahl spent most of his time in Austria in a small Alpine Village not far from Zurich. While there, he found Zurich practically unchanged from the time he once spent there as conductor of the opera. Later, the German-born Dahl traveled to Stockholm for a
reunion with his parents and two brothers.
Other musical projects completed in Europe by Dahl were a revision of the Duo for Cello and Piano, a short work for two pianos, and the rescoring of his Concerto for Saxophone. Dahl also wrote a concerto for two clarinets and orchestra for Benny Goodman and Reginald Kell, wrho are preparing the work for its premier now.
Composition
Dahl presently is occupied with the composition of an orchestral work which has been commissioned for performance by the Louisville Symphony in September.
Tickets for the program are now on sale at the university ticket office on the second floor of Student Union.

Jim Biby and Virginia Barhouse I will discuss opportunities for the ; rowites and Murray Bring and Bette Dobkin will speak on the advantages of being independents.
“It is fslt that too few new students have an adequate basis to decide whether or not to join the Row or remain independents. A free and open discusión of this subject between campus leaders
has been long overdue,” Brown said.
