Coonradt. who are attending the annual convention of the national professional journalism fraternity, the fraternity's committee on advancement of freedom of information charged that there “is a great apathy among too many editors in regard to freedom of information.”
Government Evasion
The committee, headed by V. M. Newton, Jr., managing editor of the Tampa (Fla.t Tribune, said members have found "little enthusiasm" among leaders of the press and the public in the light for freedom of information despite apparent instances of governmental secretiveness.
The committee cited a House of Representatives Subcommit tee hearing during which representatives of 19 executive detriments of the federal government “admitted that information on government matters was bring withheld from the American people.”
“Secrecy Policy”
The SDX committee further reported that a “policy of semisecrecy" also prevails in Congress, with more than 40 per cent of Congressional committee meetings conducted behind closed doors.
The Committee on Ethics and News Objectivity, charged that newspapers and newsmen aie continually “tormented by an almost endless profusion of merchandise samples.

Professor Addresses Philosophy Members
By MAR I LEE MILROY
We live in a loosely constructed world—with many elements in it that don’t fit. Philosophers today are trying to weld these together as parts of a total and unified system of Philosophy. But this is not possible.
This was the philosophy of Dr. Frederick Sontag, professor of Philosophy at Pomona College, as he spoke before a group yesterday under the auspices of the Philosophy Club.
Dr. Sontag first read a paper called “Philosophy of Science and Revival of Classical Ontology” which he had written some years ago and then he proceeded to direct a discussion of the ideas in the work.
George Hegel He pointed out the similarity of the beliefs of George Friedrich Hegel the 17th century philosopher who “was incapable of perceiving his system to be wrong'’ with the beliefs of many philosophers of today.
The contemporary philosophers are lacking, he said in “historical background” and there are many books necessary too for that background that have not been “leafed through in recent years.”
The speaker said that he would like to make it his “life project—“to compile a history of metaphysics.” In this, he would take into consideration how the concepts of metaphysics developed and what the criteria are. | Different Svstei*»s There are several mathematical systems which parallel the many philosophical systems. Dr. ! Sontag said, and one cannot choose bet wee:', the systems of I
will apply to philosophy.
“The ways of developing philosophy are inconsistent with the ways of developing science.” said Sontag.
The distinguishing line be-1 tween metaphysics and ontology j came after the influx of the 1 ideas of the German metaphysi- j cian. Immanuel Kant. After Kant, there was a “revival of classical ontology." he said.
Revival in Thought Speculative thought in philosophy is “regenerated by borrowing concepts and methods of! processes in science" said Dr. Sontag ac he emphasized a “re- j vival in philosophy itself" and a new “content of philosophy which would be “introduced I from without.’•
Answering a discussion ques- \ tion about whether there should be a distinction between pure and applied philosophy, Dr. Sontag told the audience that pure speculative philosophy should , come first, then should come ap-. plied philosophy.
“There is much of purse speculative thought that goes down the drain but some of it hangs on and why does it?” the professor queried. He said he was unable to answer his own question.
On a query about when to in-< elude verification or proving of arguments, the professor said “it : is not possible to set up in advance the primary or secondary verification.”
In his classes. Dr. Sontag as- j signs the students to “race i through the philosophic writ- j ines” and then let the criteria arise from the readings.
“Verification cannot be asked i

Trojans Trample Sky-High Irish, 28-20, in Finale
By JIM MORAD Daily Trojan Sports Editor
It would be hard to think of a more fitting climax than the one which Jess Hill bowed out with as head football coach Saturday.
Despite the close 28-20 score, his depleted Trojan* trampled an unrepresentative Fighting Irish football team. Bv virtue of this win. Hill's
in halting the advances of scores ' of Russian tanks and troops.
However, under the overpowering might of the Russian army, the students were forced to withdraw and flee for their own safety.
Outwitted Reds
Lasvlo, along with a score of others, managed to outwit the Russian border patrols and escape to Austria where he was given refuge by the Social Democratic Party of that nation.
The SD Party in conjunction with the United States State Department, decided t'o send Lasvlo to the United States to speak to American students cn his experiences behind the Iron Curtain.
The voung Hungarian will arrive in Los Angeles early tomorrow morning with his interpreter. Ralph Cava, from a ten-day speaking tour of eastern and middle western colleges and universities.
With Mask
On a recent television program, Lasvlo appeared on the screen with a mask over his face. He explained he was disguising himself and not releas- j ing his real name because he feared for the well being of his
: Trojans did two things no SC j team has been able to do in 17 and 18 years—defeat Notre Dame and UCLA in the same year.
It was back in 1939 that Howard Jones’ Thundering Herd whipped Notre Dame, 20-12, after shutting them out the previous year, 13-0. It was also in 1938 that the Herd annhiliated the Bruins. 42-7.
Emulates Both Feats
But Hill emulated both of these feats while concluding one of the most successiul coaching regimes in Trojan history. His final and official record reads 45 wins, 17 losses and 1 tie.
Oddly enough, only Notre Dame and UCLA hold advantages over Hill-coached teams. Since 1951 when Hill took over from Jeff Cravath, both schools lead SC in wins. 4-2. This made the 1956 victories all the sweeter.
So with an 8-2 record in his final year and claiming the only PCC victory over the Big 10 in the Rose Bowl 7-0 over Wisconsin in 1953 Hill graduates to the SC athletic directorship in 1957. a position retiring Willis O. Hunter has exalted for 32 years.
Notre Dame zipped onto the Coliseum floor Saturday before a crowd of 64.538 — half of it made up of fairly composed SC rooters, the other half of screaming. arm-slinging, fanatical fighting Irishmen.
Obviously Outmanned
The men from South Bend, Ind. were obviously outmanned in comparison with previous years, but they had one advantage over the Trojans—two coaches.
The feud between Frank Leahy and Coach Terry Brennan was obviously a rigged job concocted to get the Irish sky-high for the

Tekes Tumble, Theta Chi Takes Over Lead in Fraternity Grade Standings
By GARRY SHORT
Theta Chi fraternity grabbed hold of its number one scholarship rating from last fall semester. held on tight as three other houses tried to uproot it, and still remained on top in the spring semester ratings released through the Intrafraternity Counselor’s office last week.
The Theta Chi’s, who suffered a severe ^>low last year when their Portland St. house burned to the ground, raised their overall grade point from a 2.500 first place in the fall semester to an impressive 2.604 first place in the spring semester.
Tau Delts Soar
In other facets of the scholarship ratings, Tau Delta Phi made the largest gain of any of the fraternity houses by roaring from a poor 32nd position last fall to an eighth place in the spring semester standings.
They posted an over-all house average of 2.436. This is compared to a 1.920 last fall which put them on ominous social probation.
On the other hand, the largest drop in ratings was suffered by Tau Kappa Epsilon which slipped fr^m a 2.444 average and a third

In other grades released last w'eek, both of the two men’s residence halls came through w’ith improvements.

game. It did just that, but what it failed to do was move the Tru-jan line.
A Trojan line composed of Hilliard Hill. Mike Henry, Ben Lardizabal, Karl Rubke. Laird Willot, Monte Clark, Bob Voiles and their replacements continually cracked open the inept Notre Damers.
They were so magnificent that plays which haven't been too successful all year worked perfectly Saturday. They dominated play to such an extent that Notre Dame didn't make a first down in the second half until the final three minutes of the game.
SC Led Statistics
A review of the statistics shows SC led in first downs. 20-■ 13; rushing, 314-112; total offense. 394-254. Notre Dame led in passing. 142-80; punting. 38.14-35.60; fumbles. 4-1; and penalties. 111-60.
One hundred and eleven yards in penalties, primarily from constant clipping from the Irish sophomore linemen, just about nullified any effectiveness the Irish had on offense.
However, All American Paul Hornung again proved he deserves the distinction of being called one of the greatest backs in the team's history.
He can do anything connected with a football. He ran 95 yards to a touchdown on a kickoff run-hack. He threwr a pass complete for 25 yards. He caught three passes for 26 yards. He punted seven times for a 38.14 average.
While Hornung was stopped for onlv 24 yards on the ground.
, this can be attributed to th** dominance of a Trojan line that | refused to open up even for “th**
I greatest back in the country,”
I Coach Brennan called him.
Zamnese’s Greatest Game SC's version of Hornung was junior halfback Ernie Zampese, who plaved his best game as a Troian. Zampese carried the ball 20 times for 125 yards and a 6.25 average. He passed five times and completed two for 14 yards and minted for a 35.60 average.
Z^rvinrse’s most brilliant performance was a 38-yard touchdown run at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The score was 21-20 at the time. And the burst through right tackle gave the Trojans the real cincher.
But Zampese wasn't alone in that Trojan backfield. C. R. Roberts gained 80 yards for a 7.27 average and threw another one of those floppy passes for 15 yards to Hill in the endzone. This was the same play that worked for a TD against UCLA. .
Conroy Real Comer Then there was sophomore quarterback Jim Conroy, who is the real comer. Everybody expects Conroy eventually to rank as one of the all-time Trojan greats.
Taking over for injured Ells Kissinger, he has worked the Trojan offense like an old pro. He scored the first SC touchdown Saturday when he scooted around right end for 10 yards three minutes after the had started.
Football 1956 is now concluded lor the Trojans. But numerous questions about the future fate of SC football remained unanswered. Who will be the next SC football coach? Will SC remain in the PCC conference? If it doesn't, will it form a new conference or become an independ-ene? Will Trojan pla yers get their eligibility back next vear?
