“Wright was one of those great architects. whose loss «p fool «ill have tragic implications not onl\ hoc in the School of Arcni-trr-iuie but in the whole of our culture." he said. "He died at ihe ace of 90 and yet we cannoi help feeling his death as a shock.

Population Problem
The biochemist said that an increasingly dangerous problem facing America is that of the •population bomb” which has more population as its fallout.
“In I9RS we will he up lo our e\ehaPs in people,” he declared, “and population is increasing at a rate of 5 per cent each year.
He said that form of birth control must he practiced wisely a: d with restraint if Ihe problem is to be resolved. Dr. Salt-man pointed to Japan as a coun-try which has employed birth
control as a means to reach a population equilibrium.
Assuring View
Dr. Caldwell took an opposite stand on the population problem and s^id that the earth could safely hold 270 million people in 1988. He indicated that science could transform deserts into valuable agricultural areas.
“We will have a wierd type of socialized capitalism bv 1988 which will frustrate Russia," Caldwell predicted. He hinted th;jt income variations will have leveled so as to abolish the “man from the ot her side of the tracks.”
Caldwell described socialized capitalism as an economy which features the general availability of capital to ail the people. “The aveiage per capita will increase to ?25,000 by 1988 along with increased inflation." he said.
Energy from Atom
Dr. Saltman said that the problem of dwindling natural resources in respects to fuel will be subdued by atomic power resources whivb will provide energy for the next 10.000 years.
He also pointed out that mental problems will be cop&i with through a series of drugs which may he developed even within the next 10 to 15 years.
"I don’t think there will be another big war. barring someone’s getting trigger happy,” Dr. Caldwell said.
“The result is going to be a gradual breaking down of nationalism. and internationalism will be accep'ed as necessary foi continued living.”

Recommendations List Of 60 Senate Planned
A senatorial project of compiling recommendations for next year’s ASSC Senate has been started with Vice President Mardythe O’Mara's proposal to abolish class councils. President Scott Fitz Randolph said today.
“We are planning a list of recommendations from different areas of student life to give to the new Senate,” he said. “When the recommendation list is finished. we will send a list to the new president, t^e Daily Trojan and the Dean ot students for official approval.”
Over Ihe Top
O'Mara's revolutionary recommendation calls for class councils to be replaced by class meetings. While no senatorial action can be planned this year. Fitz Randolph feels that next year's Senate will benefit from the planning and factual material put into this year's recommendations.

Kouri pointed out that the chest committee went over their goal for the first time in 15 years, gathering an eslimated $5100.

“After interviewing applicants for the receipts of the charity drive on the questions of need, purpose, contribution to SC and other sources of income — we decided on the seven groups included in our final report,” he said.

The ASSC Election Board of Protest dealt a political blow to the School of Engineering yesterday by disqualifying Presidential Candidate Peter Van Meter and beginning an eligibility investigation of the remaining candidate. Alan Widiss.
A special meeting has been called at 2:30 today to decide on Widiss’ eligibility to run for office.
In the Board's final decision, ASSC Vice President Mardythe O'Mara said, “Under the present rules of the Engineering School constitution, we have no alternative but to disqualify Candidate Van Meter.”
The Engineering School Constitution states in Section IV, Paragraph A that: "the Engineering School president shall have been a member of the Council for one semester prior to the election.”
Formal Protest
Van Meter could not meet Ihis qualification. Upon hearing the news of his possible disqualification. Van Meter had petitioned Widiss’ eligibility with a formal protest to the Board.
In his complaint, Van Meter stated that Widiss had been expelled from the Engineering Council due to a lack of interest. He said that Widiss did not attend any of the five meetings held this year and that three unexcused absences result in automatic expulsion.
President Scott Fitz Randolph said that it was regrettable that both candidates were deficient
Mac Gregor Will Speak Next Sunday
Part two of ‘‘God: Much Ado About Nonsense.” visiting religion professor Dr. Geddes Mac Gregor’s discussion of theolo"'’ in today’s world of science, will bp given at this Sunday’s 11 am. Bovard Auditorium Wor-shin Service.
“In the sciences we are accustomed lo dealing with hvpo-theses that mav be verified by observation.” Dr. Mac Gregor said last Sundav in explaining how modern man analyzes any subject. “If the hypothesis can not stand un under such investigations it is judged worthless and js discarded.”
When we turn to theology and encounter such non - verifiable concepts as God. we often, because of this type of thinking, find ourselves in a very disturbing logical dilemma, the doctor continued.
“As a result, the ordinary man mav often feel that theological language is meaningless because its concepts cannot be tested” he said. More of theology’s counter - arguments to this condition will be brought out in this Sunday’s address.
Dr. Mac Gregor came to this country from Scotland in 1949 to oceunv the first Rufus Jones Chair of Philosophy and Religion at Bryn Mawr. Prior to this time he had served as Senior Assistant to the Dean of the Chapel Roval at St. Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh and as Minister of Glasgow’s Trinity Church.
In addition, he has also formerly been British philosopher-
scicntist A.D. Ritchie's assistant
in the University of Edinburgh’s philosophy department.

on these grounds (pending Wi-diss’ possible disqua',fication) and that the only way the Board could vote was for disqualification.
“Van Meter's record was in direct conflict with the Engineering constitution and the only way he can run. and probably Widiss too, will be if the School of Engineering hurrid-ly revamps their constitution,” he said.
Board members Kathy Nie-meyer and Larry Lichty said that the Board of Protest must
SC Meets
Britons in Big Debate
An international debate between the University of London and SC will be held in 133 FH tonight at 7:30.
Frederick W. Crawford and E. C. Dalrymple-Alford of London will challenge Ken Shanks and Charles Sohner of the SC team on the topic, “Resolved; that the dust of the arena is preferable to the calm of the ivorv tower.” Dr. Russell L. Caldwell will act as chairman.
This is the 19th debate in a series of 28 which began at Wisconsin State College and will end May 1 at the University of Minnesota. The next debate will be at Santa Barbara State College.
The international debate program is an annual event sponsored by the Institute of International Education and the Speech Association of America. Another British team will not appear at SC until 1961 because debates are held alternately east and west of the Mississippi.
Crawford and Dalrvmple-Alford won the annual London Observer newspaner contest, de- j feating teams from Scotland. j Wales. Northern Ireland and England. They are reputed to be the finest debate team sent here in recent vears.
stick to the letter of the constitution.
“The only way that we could
have voted for the Van Meter’s
eligibility was to change the constitution, a power we do not have” they said.
Fitz Randolph said that the Board will decide on Widiss’ eligibility after more conclusive evidence is presented.
“Political Maneuver”
“Engineei ing President John Koeller will give us the evidence we need concerning Widiss’ attendance and qualifications,” Fitz Randolph said.
Another view was expressed by Senator-at-Large Stan Ar-kin who said that Van Meter's complaint was an obvious political maneuver.
“I have Widiss’ word that he has been lo the meetings and I believe in his honest and sincerity in the matter,” he said.
Arkin claimed that he thought Van Meter’s “political backing” was handling this recent fiasco and he insisted that Widiss should be cleared of the entire disqualification charge.
