C Caught With Umbrellas own During Week s Rains
urprised Students Dash for Shelter

might have made a good subject here.
Too bad he had to miss the young lady who sat dejectedly in her sporty car while it was being towed away from in front of the science building. Seems the garage man preferred to fix the blowout in the confines of his own dry shop rather than in a University avenue puddle.
Then there was the .hulking instructor who strode happily from Founders’ hall protected from the downpour by a ladies’ transparent raincoat — complete with hood— which couldn't have been bigger than a size 10.
And the little lady with the bright scarf over her head who sells ice cream in front of the Annex. She would have been happy to pose as she huddled behind her wagon in the doorway after abandoning her usual post in the parkway.
Come to think of it, that silly photographer would have made a pretty good subject. And maybe you would have, too.
No More DT's Printed Until Next Semester
Today is DU-Day for the Daily Trojan staff. Drag-up day, that is, for the fall semester.
The roaring presses came to a screeching halt early this morning, and the final DT of the semester was ready to be in your hands.
During the time the Daily Trojan is shut down, campus information will have to travel over the gravepine.
The first edition of the spring edition will hit the campus on Feb. 12. This edition will be highlighted by an orientation theme for new students.

Plan Week Shutdown For Doheney
University library will be closed one week—Feb. 6 through 11—in its first shutdown in history with the exception of holiday periods.
The closing will be made to facilitate completing the movement of the library's 500,000 volumes to increase capacity, Dr. Lewis F. Stieg, university librarian, said.
Since the shutdown will come after final examinations, it is nct; ex pected to hamper the work of gra-uate and advanced research students. The library will be open Monday, Feb. 5, from 8 a.m. to p.m., giving students an opportunity to secure necessary books. It will reopen Feb. 12.
Rearrangement of bocks and magazines on the library's 10 miles of shelving has been in progress since the Christmas vacation. Half of the moving job is now completed
Contrary to popular belief, there is no concrete evidence at the present time that men’s grades have plunged downward due to the world situation, according to Dr. Albert F. Zech, counselor of men. In fact, said Dr. Zech, there were fewer 10-week cinch notices than at the 5-week period.
When asked about the claim of men students losing interest, he replied, “It is true that the students are losing interest” and that they are in a state of “where are we going, and when?’'
Zech said the “draft neurosis” is in the “form of bewilderment” ar.d that the students could not feel settled.
Dr. Zech said that the proposed 18-year-old draft, if it goes through, will keep a large number of college students in school, especially up-per-classmen, but will, in turn deplete freshman enrollment.
Zech gave his formula for success under the strain of the world situation. He said that a student should put this worry out of his mind as much as possible, and work to keep his grades up. He warned students who are thinking of dropping out with a poor record that it might be hard to get back in school.

Junior Party To Disclose Thing Identity
Got any ideas as to what the “Thing” is? Junior Class members will get the answer to the haunting question today at Junior Day festivities in the student lounge.

Administration Faces Decision on Student Athletic Committee
The struggle to obtain some student say-so in the selection of a new football coach worked its way up to the ASSC Senate Wednesday night.
The senators came up with another resolution to put before the administration; it’s fate, at the moment, is enveloped in a fog of doubt.
The resolution requests the university to allow a three-man committee, composed of two varsity lettermen and the ASSC president, to meet with the Faculty Committee on Athletics.
Opinion Compromise
The Senate suggestion represents a compromise between two views on how student opinion should be! expressed. One group of lawmakers! felt an elected student leader j should represent the student body,! whereas others favored representation by athletes.
“Put the prexy on the Athletic committee,” Warren Ettinger proxy for Senator-at-Large Jerry j Cappello, urged in moving that the; ASSC president sit with the com-! mittee.
His motion was then amended by AMS President Louis Ramirez to substitute “a committee of three varsity lettermen for the ASSC president.”
Hired Help
In the discussion that followed, Ettinger upheld his belief that an elected student officer could best represent student opinion.
“Football players are hired help, it seems to me,” Ettinger declared.
His remark brought a sharp retort from two-year track Ietterman (Continued on Page 4)

$71 Phone Call Hurts
A disheartened and disillusioned student, who usually has plenty to say in his Trojan |Owl column, could only say “I was robbed!” yesterday.
“This is enough to turn a writer too crime,” said the irate reporter, Edward Eric Ash, who disclosed to the DT the filching of $71 from his wallet Wednesday night.
The reason Ash was so loaded at the time is that his GI check came 10 days late. Shortly after he cashed it, he entered a phone booth in Founders hall and opened his wallet to find a phone number.
After completing the call, Ash de parted, leaving the wallet. A quick check with Lost and Found got him his wallet—minus the $71.
The janitor had found the empty money receptacle in the booth and turned it in.
Ash admitted that he had left a very large temptation for passer bys but declared “It shows that
standards at SC are at a new low when they don’t even leave you enough money for carfare.”
The disheveled columnist has been making inquiries of housing facilities at some of the downtown missions since he was divorced frcm his subsistence. It was all he had.
He thought it would be best if he took up lodging elsewhere in case a few .heartless creditors should haunt him.
If the newly rich person’s conscience is bothering him, Ash says he would appreciate the return of some of the money to 1623 North Normandy.

Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid recently accepted the chairmanship of an institute dealing with “Brotherhood at Home and Abroad” when it meets March 14th and 15th at the Ambassador hotel.
The institute is under the sponsorship of the National Conference of Christians and Jews and is designed to create better understanding among the citizens of this nation and to improve relations with our neighbors abroad.
“Through this institute an opportunity will be presented to citizens of Los Angeles in which they can create the climate to set going from person to person the most powerful force in the world, the spirit of brotherhood,” said Dr. Von KleinSmid.
Co-chairman attending the meeting from Southern California ■will be Stanley Bergerman, David Cannon, Loren Miller, Joseph Scott, and George Wasson Jr.
“It is hoped that such a movement will tend to make more of us aware of the need for working in harmony with our immediate neighbors as well as worldwide, and that such awareness will be reciprocated. With proper attitudes and the development of ideas pertaining to the importance of such a movement, we can not only prevent wars but we can take away the reason for conflict,” said George Wasson Jr., protestant member of the executive board of the institute.
Dean Proposes Civil Defense Plan for Troy
Civil defense took a big step forward yesterday when Dr. James N. DeLamater, associate dean of the School of Medicine, presented his plan for converting SC into an improvised emergency hospital that could care for more than 2000 patients.
Although the plan is set up for taking care of the students and employees, it could be expanded to include persons within the campus area. DeLamater said.
The plan includes lists of personnel, medical supplies, and equipment that would be needed and designates the structures that would be used for hospitals and other facilities.
Student volunteers are needed to staff the organization, and forms will be made available during registration for students to indicate willingness to serve.
Volunteers are needed as stretcher bearers, ward clerks, nurses’ aids, orderlies, general clerks, equipment movers, and cleanup men. Persons who have had experience in home nursing, military hospital corps, first aid, and first aid instructing are especially asked to volunteer.
Dean DeLamater emphasized that it is vitally necessary to get a sufficient number of student workers before the plan can function properly.
“SC’s organization will_ be the seed from which other civil’ defense organizations will crystalize,” he said.
