PCC Stifles Senior Grid Hopes
Four PCC Northern weak-sisters and a halo-bound1 Stanford joined forces yesterday to kill a motion to restore 1
i	half season’s eligibility to SC and UCLA senior football players.
Faculty representatives from Oregon, Oregon State, Washington State. Idaho and Stanford combined to wreck completely any hopes of seeing the penalized seniors in action next season.
Not content with this ruling, the faculty representatives rubbed a strong helping of salt into the SC wound. After voting 8 to 1 to end California's one-year probationary status as of July 1, an SC move to have its probation! ended at the same time was soundly defeated by a vote of 7-2. The order of vote was not disclosed by PCC spokesmen.
L A. sources in Spokane said the leniency petition would have affected C. R. Roberts, Ernie Zampese, Don Hickman and Doug Kranz.
Given as the reason for the Cal whitewash was that the school’s athletic program “now is operated upon a sound ba^is in strict accordance with conference rules.”
No hint was given by the pedantic faculty men as to just what bothered them about SC's athletic program.
With this action following the narrow vote that nearly j k;cked UCLA's Bruin’s out of the conference, odds jumped
that SC and UCLA would take quick steps to bolt the! shaking PCC.
The same 5-4 margin—and the same five schools— decided a hotly contested motion to retain the round-robin schedule requiring each member except Idaho to play the other members each year.
Should it stick with the PCC, this means that SC would keep playing to half-empty Northern stands on every trip to the hinterlands. It also means that more and better inter-sectional games can be kissed off as a pleasant but awfully wild dream.
The resolution limits each member to nine games each season of which at least five must be with member schools.
The actions were taken at a long afternoon session following a morning meeting at which SC' long a PCC power, and little Idaho, long a power in the PCC cellar, shared the spotlight.
The PCC passed the hat to Idaho and SC and demanded they pay S1000 apiece for violations of the PCC code, j
Troy drew its fine for statements made by “a basket- j ball coach of an official or officials” during and after a conference basketball game last season, according to a subtle release from the Spokane hide-away.
The faculty representatives failed to name Forrest Twogood, SC’s head basketball coach, by name, but left little doubt as to who the fine was pointed at.
Following the SC-Oregon basketball game last season in which the Trojans ran up an easy victory, Coach Twogood declared he had witnessed one of the “worst jobs of officiating” he had ever seen.
PCC referee Warren Scott, the only game official in earshot of Twogood at the time, evidently wasted no time in referring the matter to the PCC front office. Scott has never been known to admit that he ever called a bad game or that he likes to have the next-to-the-last word of an argument.
Since the Trojans waltzed over the Oregon ''five with ease, Twogood's remarks could hardly be classified a case of “sour grapes.”
But just so stripe-shirted Referee Scott can have the last word, SC has been asked to fork over S1000 to appease the Gods now meeting in Spokane.
Diminutive Idaho, a school that has developed amazing lung power because it has had to scream at the rest of the league from the depths of the PCC cellar, was fined for illegal interviewing of prospective students, presumably English trackmen, by “a track coach.”
Names, places, times and other details of the incidents were not disclosed by conference spokesman Dr. Glenn Seaborg of California but it was known that Idaho has at least five English students on campus who turned out for track.
The English designation represents students from England, not students majoring in English. Idaho, the smallest school in the PCC but who has just as big veto voting power as anyone, claims to have “well over a dozen students majoring in English.”
The English students at Idaho include distance ace Ray Hatton, who previously had mentioned discussing the Idaho curriculum with a track coach. Hatton finished third to Max Truex of SC and Bob House of Cal in the 2-mile event of the PCC championships last week, timed at 8:57.4.
The faculty men adjourned late yesterday afternoon. They still must face perhaps the most important item on the agenda—the matter of aid to athletes. Conference Spokesman Dr. Glenn Seaborg of California said “action, whether positive or not,” would be taken on that problem at the Spring meeting’s last session this morning.
It was this matter which led to the disciplinary action against the penalized schools. A sliding scale formula to provide payments according to cost of living at the variou sshools was discussed at the Portland meeting in March but was put off until this session. There was widespread belief that the issue once more will be postponed until the Winter meeting Dec. 1-5 at San Francisco. At present, athletes are permitted to allow not more than $100 at each school.

SDX Censured for Vulture Publication
By LARRY FISHER and JOE JARES
Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, last night was censured by the ASSC Senate and threatened with possible expulsion by the Dean of Students.
The action was stimulated by the fraternity’s publication of “Vulture” yesterday. In which a photo appeared of Pope Pius XII with a caption identifying him as “Willy Grayam.”
Acting Dean of Students Clinton A. Neyman said he would “recommend” to the Student Activities Committee that the worthiness of the fraternity as a recognized campus group be given “serious consideration.”
“This comes close to an impious action,” Neyman declared. “Let those who do not have religious faith or a sense of religion restrain their humor and joking to something less sacred than this.”
Neyman expressed fear that the features concerning Catholicism might keep Cardinal Francis McIntyre from addressing the Baccalaureate Services June 14.
LAS President Virginia Burton introduced a motion that “The ASSC Senate censure Sigma Delta Chi for the publication of the 1957 Vulture,” and this motion was unanimously passed with five abstentions.
The debate was instigated by I. R. President Ron Mitchell who said the humor newspaper contained material which was a “bad reflection on religion in a publication distributed to the student body of SC.”
“This publication is not under control of the student body,” Mitchell said, ’ But I suggest we do get some control over it before this sort of thing happens again.”
President Larry Sipes pointed out, how-
!ever, that while the senate doesn’t have jurisdiction over the publication it can control the official recognition of its publishers, Sigma Delta Chi.
Virginia Burton in debate in favor of her motion declared that “Vulture” was nothing but trash,” and “made Confidential look like a comic book.”
Ed Malone, architecture president, retorted “If this isn’t what the students wanted to read they wouldn’t buy it. The only adequate way to stop this,” he said “is not to buy it.”
Prior to debate on the tabloid newspaper, President Larry Sipes announced his choices for chairmen of the 14 standing; committees, all of which were unanimously approved by the senate.
For Homecoming Committee head Lee Rafner, active in Troy Camp and other: committees this year, was appointed. Wally Karabian, this year’s blood drive chairman,, was recommended to the group for Greater University chairman.
Other committee chairmen chosen at the meeting were: Jody Vattimo, Christmas Show; Bruce Blinn, Troy Chest; Tommie Lane, URA; Margie Bowman, Recognition Committee; Mary Freeman, Public Relations; Nancy Porter, Orientation, High School and Junior College Relations, Charlie Moran, and Ann Durfey, Forum-Committee.
Sipes recommended Joe Agapay as Parliamentarian and Marnee Mae Tyler for Elections Commissioner.
Tom Harfison was selected as NSA coordinator to attend the national convention at the University of Michigan along with Larry Sipes, Ann Durfey, Jerry Burns and Gwen Norton.
AWARD SELECTORS - The committee chosen to designate AMS award recipients are (l-r) Captain Swan, University Police Station; Robert Lightcap, Norcap Manufacturing Company; David X. Marks, donor of Marks Hall; Charles Jacobson, YMCA associate secretary; Dean Earl Vivon Pul-
lins, Pepperdine College, and Dr. Lloyd Eastwood, dean of students at Los Angeles State College. The AMS awards are annual Troydition and will be given tonight at 7:30 in Hancock Auditorium. The winners of Songfest will entertain during the breaks.
