Recent luncheon meetings between 1 acuity and students of the cinema department follow the suggestions made by the Western College Accrediation Committee for SC.
! "The accrediation committee recently commented that there isn't enough exchange of ideas between faculty and students concerning the classes and in struction material.” reported Dr. Robert Hall, to the as- i sembled group last Friday.
“But this can't be said of the ! cinema department.”

A complaint, common to the University in general, was that students starting as undergraduates do not know what classes they are required to take be-yong each semester because of inadequate university council-ing. This situation was remedied for the department by handing out mimeographed sheets showing class requirements for both bachelor and master degrees.
Current Method When the question of “Where are our jobs coming from’’ was brought up. the current method of job placement was explained.
Every student of the department must fill out an advisement card which shows the training, field of ability and interest of each individual. These cards are filed and coded so that when a job is called in, the right person can be immediately sent out to be interviewed.
Monthly Magazine For work that is not in the local area or not filled by available students or alumni the job description is sent all over the country in a monthly magazine published by Delta Kappa Alpha, the national cinema fraternity.

When order was restored it was discovered that there were 24 Republicans, 14 Democrats and 30 non-party members in the class.
There are 22 undergraduate schools represented and 13 religious faiths.
“The married members of tt e

The class is made up of 68 members with an average age of 23.2 years. The youngest is 19 while the oldest is 34, they said.
Two countries and 15 States are represented. There are 65 males and three females. “When the males get tired of studying ‘Gray's Anatomy’ they find relaxation in observing the three females.” Twenty two of these males are married.

President Eisenhower also will be offering United States voters a political new look. He calls it Modern Republicanism. Mr. Eisenhower’s modern Republican i Party is Mr. Eisenhower himself much more than it is the party and the party organization which ! he leads.
Modern Republicanism is a blend of the old time GOP religion with the Roosevelt New ■ Deal of 20 years ago. Mr. Eisen-[ hovver did not borrow all of FDR's deal. The Republican I President balked, for example, at Roosevelt public power policies. He regards the Tennessee Valley Development as creeping socialism. Modern Republicanism is inclined toward placing responsibilities on the States and away from centralization of big government in Washington, budget balancer ilr.

Adlai E. Stevenson sought to make it official before the Democratic National Convention by suggesting that the time had come for moderation in all things political. Gov. Averell Harriman. New York, and Gov. G. Menncn (Soapy) Williams. Michigan, rebuked Stevenson for that.
“There is no place in the Democratic Party,” said Harriman. “For moderation.’’

That was what much of the battling was about in Chicago when the Democrats gathered to write their platform and to nominate a presidential candidate. Stevenson, the moderate candidate. won in Chicago hut took a bad beating in last week's election.
The Democratic Party as represented by its other candidates throughout the nation did much better than Stevenson. These lesser candidates were, generally, more new deal than moderate and the voter* made a deliberate choice.

Rebels Call Strikes To Shackle Reds
VIENNA. »UP) — A general strike by Hungarian workers became the major rebel weapon today against the Russian army and the puppet Communist government.
Determined bands of Nationalists still fought the hopeless fight against Russian tanks and troops in Budapest and in the provinces. But the rebels began playing up the 20-day-old strike which has paralyzed the economy and added to the troubles of the 'Communists already plagued by the threat of starvation throughout the country.
Fighting was reported still continuing on Csepcl Island, at the northern suburb of Ujpest and the Koebanya industrial district on the southeastern edge of Budapest. The reports were not immediately confirmed, however. Early today heavy guns opened up. but neither the sites of the batteries nor their targets could be determined.
Leaflets Found
Leaflets distributed in the streets of Budapest appealed to workers: “Do not work under the command of the occupiers and the illegal usurping government.”
"We shall ration our supplies and help each other. But we shall continue to strike.”
The government of Premier Janos Kadar tried to bait workers back to factories with promises that food would be sold in the plants.
Kadar himself admitted yesterday that the situation was “difficult” He promised a moderate independent government if the strike is ended and order ; restored.
Strike of Workers
The nationwide refusal to work, which started shortly after the rebellion broke Oct. 23. appeared developing the very “chaos” which provided the Ka- j dar regime with the excuse for i calling in Soviet troops.
Returning Western newsmen reported the city a wreck. As late as Thursday, bodies lay in 1 the streets unburied. The stench of death was everywhere. Russian tanks coughed death. Whole
Struggling Rebels May Receive Aid From Troy Fund
By JERRY BURNS
An urgent appeal for fund.s and backing for the struggling people of war-torn Hungary will be one of the leading questions that will arise at tomorrow night’s ASSC Senate meeting.
Petitions, resolutions and an expected drive for funds
have spontaneously arisen on------—
campus with a goal of sending money, goods and heartfelt hope to the Hungarians who are presently under a Russian seige.
Student leaders behind the aid-to-Hungarv movement outlined a four-point procram. First is the petition to the United Nations in which the signers “condemn these flagrant violations (actions of the USSR' and injustices upon the . . . rights and freedom of self-determination of the Hungarian people.” UN Action Asked After expressing sentiments against Russia, the petition calls for the UN and the United States “to create and expedite all appropriate actions necessary to halt immediately this needless slaughter and suppression of such a valiant nation.”
Second point of the movement is to have a similarly worded resolution passer! by tomorrow night's 7 o'clock Senate meeting.
The third point will be the implementation of the resolution If it is passed by the student legislators.
Open Forum An open forum on the Hungarian problem will be the fourth point in the aid program. The discussion is scheduled for Friday' at a yet-undisclosed site. Main speaker will be Hungary-, born Francis de Erdely, professor of fine arts.
The drive for funds for Hungarian relief began last night and will continue with greater impetus if okayed by' the Senate. All monies collected will be sent to World University Service to administer in Hungary.
Other business set for the open-to-the-public Senate meeting will include a report by Recognition Chairman Dale Ziegler in which he will recommend that a list of campus clubs be no longer recognized. These groups will be the ones who haven't reported their constitutions or memberships to the Recognition Committee.
Welcoming Committee Vi Jameson, ASSC vice presi- j dent, will report on the Trojan Host Committee. Made up of

Chips Down They said Western radio broadcasts had been offering sympathy for years. But when the chips were down, the W est failed to provide material aid.
“The Western broadcasts have pushed and pushed us into this, ’ a revolutionary council chairman told a newsman at Szob.

leaders from out-of-town colleges and schools.
Among the correspondence to I be read by President Carl Terzian will be a letter from Paul Butler, Democratic national chairman, in which the political figure thanked the Senate lor its letter of apology for actions that occurred as Butler spoke here last month.
Another letter from Stanford i Student Body President Bob Freelen and Dean of Students H. Donald Winbigler expressed the Farm’s thanks for the mini-I mum amount of trouble that ; happened during the Stanford weekend and game.
Popular Resolution
Two very popular resolutions will be brought up tomorrow' night. Boh Robbins, president of the School of Public Administration, will suggest a change in the Pacific Coast Conference : ticket rule that makes it very 1 difficult for an SC student to take a non-SC date to a foot* j ball game or other athletic event.
If passed, the resolution will recommend that the university | take a new stand on the question within the PCC and try to have a new policy adopted all over the conference.
Popular Chance
Associated Men Students Vice President Dennis Fagerhault will also recommend a student-popular change in connection with football game procedures.
Under the resolution, the football ticket deadline will be extended to the week of the game. Proponents cite the Friday. Nov. 9. deadline on the Nov. 24 UCLA game tickets as being a perfect example.
Ticket Deadline
“If university policy is to put an early deadline on tickets so that they can sell more to the general public, I am all against ti.” President Terzian declared.
“Students should get first crack at tickets even if it is in the same week as the game,” he said.
If passed, the resolution will be sent to the university for consideration and possible action.
