The three others are the Western Area Council, which serves students at UCLA, Santa Monica City College, Marymount, and Mt. St. Mary’s College; the Central, which serves Los Angeles State, Los Angeles City College, Chapman, and Woodbury Colleges; and the embryo council in the Pasadena area serving Whittier, Claremont, Scripps, Pasadena City College.
The councils were started to familiarize foreign students with various phases of the American way of life.
The new council previously arranged the stay of 70 students at Santa Paula and Fillmore last Thanksgiving and many more over Christmas. It also sees that foreign students are met upon arrival in Los Angeles, and provides civic groups with students as luncheon speakers.
The council’s goals are to provide scholarships and to provide a home any time a foreign student wishes to visit an American family for a few days.

Martin Luther’s “Catacism” is the most potent religious textbook ever written according to Dr. E. T. Bachman, professor of church history, who yesterday, delivered the first in a series of 10 religious lectures being given on the SC campus, and which are still open for class registration.
The former director of religious affairs for the High Commissioner of the American Zone, Germany and director of Graduate Studies at the Lutheran Theological Seminary said that Luther’s theme “Make room for the Gospel” was the domineering force in bringing the Gospel back to the psople.
Monastic Life
Before the Reformation in the mid-fifteenth century, monastic life was regarded higher than
married life. Luther’s teachings brought religion to the “grass roots” of the people.
The Catholic church, with its emphasis on a life of austerity and monasticity provided the need for a reformation in the life of the individual and the community who were bound to the obedience of tbs ruler, king and prince of the state in which the people lived.
Grave Doubt
After Luther’s death in 1546 the outlook for the perpetuation of his teachings was in grave doubt as violence broke out between the Catholics and Protestants in Germany.
However, the Treaty of Augsburg signed in 1555 regarded the Lutheran Church as a legitimate church to stand side by side with the Roman Catholic Church, and thus provided the impetus for its gospel to spread over many countries in Europe; from France to the Scandinavian bloc, from England to the Balkan nations of Hungary and Rumania.
New World
In the “New World” the Lutheran Church had its adherents settled in Jamesown, Virginia and Plymouth, Massachusetts. Later colonies were established in Savannah, Philadelphia and Dele-ware by the Dutch, Germans and Swedish settlers.
In the new country no longer was the religion of the leader the religion of the people. Luther’s teachings were reflected in the people’s lives as they learned to live with different beliefs, tolerate them and further, to respect them.
Responsible Church
Next Monday the discussion will be on “A Responsible Church in a Free Society.” Future lectures will be concerned with the struggle of Christianity with Communism* materialism, and secularism.
The lectures are held in 113 FH at 2:15 p.m. and are sponsor-er by the Lutheran Student Association. Fee for the course and materials is $2.

'Practice What You'll Preach' ToldFutureProfs
Future teachers are today more conscious of practicing what they will soon be preaching.
Shirley Egland, School of
Education president, pointed out that the future teachers neglected to fill In recommendation sheet blanks listing worthy activities and organizations in which they participate.
“Perhaps some of us have been so busy trying to get through the studies that wre haven’t had time to consider that space,” Miss Egland told the education students.
Miss Egland stressed that members must first work on the council before they become officers. She asked members who could help on the council to come to the first council meeting at 3:15 p.m. today at 114 FH. Petitions for office may also be obtained.
Model UN Procedure Told By SC Delegation Adviser
by Harvey Zuckman
A talk on procedural practice for the Model UN was presented by Jim Ivanoff, international relations graduate and SC delegation adviser, before the UN group yesterday afternoon in the International Students Lounge.
Ivanoff, who attended a pre-‘ conference meeting last week at UCLA, informed the “India” diplomats of the many “do’s” and “don’ts” decided by Model UN officials.
After Ivanoff presented his information, Perry Spanos, chief delegate of the SC contingent announced a list of universities and
colleges taking part in the “Little
UN” conclave at UCLA, March 25, 26, and 27.
Schools participating and the country they will represent are:
Stanford .....................France
University of California .......XT. S.
UCLA .........................Russia
Loyola ________________________China
Pepperdine ..............Great Britain
Portraying minor nations will be:
Redlands __________________New Zealand
Occidental ........ -----------Egypt
Pasadena City College ...........Iraq
Los Angeles City College....IsraeI Orange Coast College__________Greece
A major adversary at the mock UN is expected to be Pomona
College, which will play the role
of Pakistan. Spanos said it is likely that “Pakistan” will bring up the Kashmir question but “India” will be ready for it.
“I am certain that India, as played by SC, will give a good account of itself at the Model UN for two reasons,” Spanos stated.
“First, we have an excellent faculty to prepare us for whatever we may encounter at UCLA, and second, only the most experienced, informed, and competent students were picked to make up the SC delegation,” concluded Spanos.
At the meeting it was decided to have preparatory' get-togethers every Monday from 2 to 4 p.m. to hear experts on Indian foreign policy and to discuss tactics, resolutions, and problems currently affecting India.
WORLD NEWS ROUNDUP
Warren Gets FBI Probe, Final Senate Approval, Soon
From the United Press
WASHINGTON—(UP)—A Senate judiciary subcommittee set Wednesday midnight as the deadline for critics of Earl Warren to file objections to his nomination as U.S. Chief Justice.
Chairman William Langer, who also disclosed that the subcommittee has requested an FBI report on the former California Governor, announced the deadline to reporters following an hour-long secret meeting.
“We gave them (the critics) until midnight of the 17th to get in their complaints,” he said. “We’re not going to delay beyond that.”'
Meet Thursday
Langer said the subcommittee will meet again Thursday or Friday	to	consider	complaints
against President Eisenhower’s choice	of Mr. Warren	for th£	nation’s	top	judicial post. He	did
not promise, however, that the subcommittee will vote then.
He said the members coud not act until they receive the FBI report and there is no indication when it will be ready.
Delayed Nomination
The subcommittee unexpectedly delayed action on Mr. Warren’s nomination Feb. 2 after hearing endorsements from The Califor* nia and American Bar Associations	and	criticisms	from	Dr
Wesley Swift of Los Angeles. Swift said he spoke for the Christian Nationalist Crusade and American Anti-Comrnunist
League. The Chief Justice has been serving under a recess appointment.
There apparently is no serious question about ultimate Senate confirmation of Mr. Warren. None of the subcommittee members have publicly opposed him and Langer indicated originally the delay merely was to clear up all questions about his nomination.

WASHINGTON — (UP) — Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson today slashed dairy support prices to the lowest level permitted by law and estimated it will mean an 8-cent a pound cut in retail butter prices.
The move brought protests from
most dairy state Congressmen. But Chairman George D. Aiekn (R-Vt.) of the Senate Agriculture Committee supported the action and Sen. Clinon P. Anderson (D-N.M.) called it “a very good step in the right direction. . . .”
Benson announced at a news conference that government price supports on butter, cheese and dried milk will drop from 90 per cent of the so-called “fair price” parity to 75 per cent April 1.
He said dollars-and-cents support levels will be announced later, but “housewives can count on about an 8-cent a pound drop in butter.”
Benson also said he “hopes” to be able to announce “before too long” a plan to dispose of some of the more than $350,000,000 worth of surplus dairy products piled up in government warehouses under the support program.
LOS ANGELES, (UP)—The Flying Finn Twins, George and Charles, were arraigned in Federal Court today on charges resulting from their attempt to arrest U. S. Attorney Laugh-lin Waters.
Judge Pierson M. Hall continued until Mar. 1 the pleading of the twins and reduced their bail from $10,000 to $5,-000 each.
The twins were indicted by a Federal Grand Jury on two counts each of interfering with a federal officer and conspiracy.
