16th Century “Fumes” TSmog is not new,” explained Dr. rfeith. “When Cabrillo discovered San Pedro Bay in the 16th century, he named it the bay of 'Los Fumos,’ or ‘The Fumes'.”
Since automobiles and Indus- I trial plants were not characteristic of the 16th century, These | fumes must have been the resujt of natural climatic factors.
“Chief among these factors is temperature inversion. Dr. Keith continued.
“On many days a low-hanging layer of warm air acts as a iid over Los Angelos and prevents the escape of pollutants upward into the higher atmosphere,” he said.

In the talk. Feynman had said i that it is not possible for reli- I gious people to have a set of metaphysical doctrines (he defined this to mean the word of God) without at sometime hav- j jail Democratic President, ing them conflicting with sci- ______
ence.
He said that there were two pillars upon which western civilization was based; humility of intellect (science) and humility of spirit (religion).
No Conflict “Religious people are trained for many years to say there is no conflict between the two,”
Feynman said. “They tell me, .
‘We don’t believe that God is a ! man with a white beard’.” “I I tell them, neither do I. ‘We agree’, they say.”
Feynman went on that when i neople begin wondering what is : the greatest meaning in life, religion begins. He said people j gather together and follow the doctrine of whatever they be- I lieve to be the greatest meaning.

TROY CHEST COMMITTEE TO TRY FOR $7000 MARK
Trojan Chest Chairman Dick Hildenbrand presented the proposed breakdown of this year’s Trov Chest collections to the ASSC Senate Wednesday night—and met with little opposition.
Hildenbrand, who said that his committee is shooting for $7000 in contributions, proposed that 50 per cent go to Trov Camp, 25 per cent for the YWCA, 20 per cent for the Living War Memorial and 5 per cent for World University Service.
Barbara Irvine and Chet Davis, co-chairmen of , the annual Christmas Show, protested that their project needed operating funds. They said that they had been led to believe that part of the show’s expenses would be paid for by Troy Chest, since no campus collections can be made for an individual project.
Joan Sparling, ASSC senator-at-large, amended the report to read 50 ner cent for Trov Camp, 25 ner rent for the YWCA, 17 per cent for the Living War Memorial and 3 per cent for the World University Service.
The money taken from the Living War Memorial and WUS leaves 5 per cent for the Christmas Show.
Miss Sparling’s amendment was accepted, and Hildenbrand said, “I think the money allotment for the Christmas Show is a good Idea.”
Hildenbrand was hopeful that the 1957 Troy Chest drive would be greeted enthusiastically by SC students and that the S7000 goa.’ would be met.
Troy Camp needs S3500 to operate, and because of its 50 per cent allotment, the S5000 collected in the drive last year would be insufficient.
“Several new ideas have been suggested for methods of collection this year,” Hildenbrand said.
“Most of these will be incorporated in the Troy Chest drive. Because Troy Chest is the only fund drive on campus and because classroom collections bring the largest single amount, it’s up to every student to participate to heJp us over the goal.
In 1955 the drive collected about $4000, and in 1956, it collected about S5000.
Troy Chest will be held the week of March 25-29 and will feature, among other things a pie-throwing contest and the Mr. Trojanality Contest.

AWS Hopefuls Campaign At Y
The friendly rivalry between the three candidates for AWS President continued yesterday, | as they made brief campaign ; appearances before the Y Frosh group.
Both Senator-at-large Nancy Porter and opponent Gwen Norton emphasized the innovations which they proposed to initiate if elected.
Miss Porter based her platform on setting up a Frosh Roundup on Troy Day, an AWS assembly to be presented at any sorority or fraternity want- j I003* high school assemblies and
j ary, can get an administration I ok and enough funds to move ; them to University Ave.
Contending that the blocKs | are in an obscure location at j present, Don Simonian, worthy I grand master of Skull and Dag-j ger said it is the hope of the j honorary to set them up on an island where they can be seen i as a perpetual athletic memorial.
Twofold Purpose
“The project would have a twofold purpose.” he said. First it will draw attention to the | footprints, and it will bring the I blocks up to date.”
He explained that five new I blocks would be added to the 21 I already present. Three recently i named All-Americans, Jon Arnett. Frank Gifford, and Pat Cammanela will be honored.
The fourth block would go to ; Willis O. Hunter, director of ' Athletics at SC since 1925, who : is retiring in August; another would be in memory of Howard Jones, famed “Thundering Herd” football coach.
Years Old Simonian said that the foot-| print project began years ago I when Phelps-Terkel, the cloth-j ing store had athletes put their 1 footprints in the cement outside ! the store.
The store catered to athletes j and the blocks became part of j SC tradition.
However, a large plaque was never erected and when Phelps-Terkel moved, the footprints were forgotten.
“If we could sink the blocks | in an island on University,” Simonian explained, “we could put up a plaque telling the purpose of the memorial and who is honored by it.”
Seventeen Gridders Seventeen of the original 21 blocks honor football AU-Amer- i icans. Bill Sharman. All-Amer- 1 ican basketball player and cur- ! rent pro-star for the Boston Cel- j tics is immortalized in another. ;
The former SC coaches have blocks, also. Dean Cromwell. SC’s great track coach for 35 years, put a print of his famous bow tie into the cemer.t along with his footprints.
In addition, there is a block in memory of basketball and baseball coach Sam Barry.
Dog-Gone The pavvprints of George Tirebiter. longtime canine mascot of the Trojans, complete the shrine.
Simonian said that one of the members of Skull and Dagger, Ernie Schag, suggested that the group bring the footprints up to date, after a DT article by sportswriter Joe Jares pushed j the idea. He said the group ended up deciding to make over the whole thing.
“The memorial w o u 1 d he something to be proud of,” Simonian said.

The ASSC Senate voted last Wednesday to hold a special Senate meeting next Wednesday evening to devote full time to : the election bylaw revisions amendment and the National Students Association report.
Senator Laird Willot moved to have the special meeting after debate on the changes dragged on toward midnight.
The bylaws were amended Wednesday in two places. Section I, part B was changed to read that the Board of Protest “shall consist of four voting members of the senate and be elected by the ASSC Senate and the elections commissioner.” MacAdoo Lead* Fight Previously the committee was to have been appointed by the ASSC President and confirmed by the Senate. Dick MacAdoo. senior class president, led the fight for the amendment.

The original revisions said that the posters “must be of uniform half cards.” The new change will allow the posters to be less than the uniform size. “Do It Intelligently”
