Senators Criticized By Sipes
Says Pariy Set-up Could Have Solved Political Problems
By ( 'ARMEN (.ONZAI.I Z
Larry Sipes, ASSC president, accused the student Senate of refusal to lace the university’s p >Iitical probiems by turning dow n riosda organizing campus.
“The Senate «as trembling on the brink of doing something great.” said Sipes, “something that would be an emphatic step t< wards solving some of our political ills. It was too great a

After it turned down the amendment, the Senate called for a committee to report back in four weeks concerning another plan to establish political parties. Headed by Walt Williams, 1he committee includes Wallv Graner, Peggy Edward-son. Stan Ark in and Patty Wynn.
Sipes slated lhat the committee would probably revise the amendment. One of the main objections to it was that many felt party registration would concern too much paper work.

Also in favor of the organized parties politieal was Ron Mitchell, international relations president, who blasted Stan Arkin.
“The committee as it is set up now will have to make many changes if they expect the unanimous consent of its members because Arkin is opposed to political parties on this campus.” said Mitchell. “Any program which is acceptable to him will of necessity have to be drastically changed.’’
Faulty System
Arkin immediately denied that he was opposed to political parties.
"Undoubtedly political parties are a major contributing factor to a dynamic democratic system." he said. “Rut the amend- must have mcnt was reallv a svstem of booth spa

Uy DICK TKAC'V
Bewildered and ccatless, an SC sophomore wingeu into O'Hare Airport in Chicago Friday afternoon, tiie victim of a spectacular fraternity “kidnaping” which would have done justice to a James Cagney movie.
Burt Rosen, 20, historian of I Zeta Beta Tau and the fraternity's initiation committee head, stepped shirtsleeved from a United Airlines DC-7 int•» Chicago's blizzardy weather at .5:30 p.m. after his “capture" by 11 pledges here while walking to an 8 a.m. ciass.
Taken in Ton
The dark-haired Rosen was i taken immediately in tow by his ! father, Chicago Doctor George | Rosen, who angrily threatened ! to take fraternity's president to task for the prank.
“I don’t want to punish any-one but this thing burns me up,” the elder Rosen said to newsmen who contacted him by phone.
Dr. Rosen also indicated that his son’s stay at home "would be prolonged” so young Rosen would miss the fraternity’s Saturday initiation d inne r and dance.
*A Little Something*
“It's time he (his son i learned j a little something,” the lather declared.
Forewarned of the prank by a phone call.from tiie fraternity j early Friday morning. Dr. Rosen j said he absolutely refused to go along with the plan.
“I told them absolutely no,"
| said Dr. Rosen.
Confused Trip Fast
Between the time of his cap-i ture and his arrival in Chicago,
| his home town, Burt spent what j was probably a contused trip dreaming up tortures for the 11 ■ pledges from his fraternity who j conceived and carried out the ; devilish plot.
Here, according to the best reports, is the plot: Rosen, ap-; parently walking to classes from ! the fraternity house, was “tak-1 en for a ride” by four of his i brothers who offered to take him to class in their car.
Unexpected Jaunt
But when 7 more pledges piled ; in as the car moved toward [ school, and the driver turned 1 finally toward downtown Los ! Angeles, the 20-year-old youth i became suspicious and learned gf the prank which ultimately
Officials of United Airlines said the Chicago student didn't know where he was headed until after the plane was airborne. By then, they nommented wryly, it was much too late.
Actually, airline officials and Zela Beta Tau president Gary Zimmerman pointed out, the only deception in the “kidnapping” was that the lad didn't know “exactly” where he was going.
School officials learned of the incident Friday also, and between smiles said “an investigation will be made.”
Meanwhile. Rosen was to have had his initiative tested by determining whether he could make his way back to Los Angeles in time for the initiation dinner-dance Saturday night at the Glen-Aire Country Club in Sherman Oak«:.

“She calmed down later when she called and learned that he was safe and sound and on his way home." the president continued.
Counselor of Men Jerry Wulk told the Daily Trojan that a “complete investigation will be made of the matter.” but declined comment until such a study is competed.
Questioned about administration rulings against this type of behavior, “Dud” Johnson, fraternity counselor, said he knew of no ruling that would apply in this case, but that he also would
