bulk of the recruiting at the present time.
Last week, Pappas and Davis were officially relieved of their recruiting duties an hour before Dr. Norman Topping, university president, made the announcement in a press conference.
At this conference, Dr. Topping laid out a program that he said will “assure a program of intercollegiate athletics that can seek not only excellence but also fulfill
our agreements with our sister institutions.”
He explained that Davis and Pappas “have been reprimanded, placed on probation and taken out of all recruitment activities.” But. he added, “other assignments in the university will be offered them so their loyal interests and energies can best be utilized.”
Davis will remain as Don Clark’s assistant coach while Pappas, it is understood, is being considered for a rugged fund raising job in the athletic department.
Dr. Topping said in his statement that the Faculty Committee on Athletics had completed an investigation it was conducting into the entire NCAA quagmire.
“Although the committee has some doubts as to our guilt, it is clear that we have either been guilty of minor and technical infractions or that we have permitted practices which might be interpreted as violations of the NCAA code.
“It is also clear that this situation arose through a lack of proper exercise of authority in the recruiting of student athletes. The university cannot escape its share of the responsibility since no single individual was entirely at fault.”
In his statement, Dr. Topping also made some sweeping revisions in the athletic department, especially in regard to this touchy situation of recruiting.
“1. We have placed the entire responsibility for contacting prospective student athletes in the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and have directed the establishment of procedures that will prevent any future misinterpretation of NCAA rules,” Topping said.
“2. Contributions from alumni and friends of the uni-
versity for the support of athletics shall come directly to the university, which will be responsible for the administration of these funds.
“3. A request has been made to the General Alumni Corporation to refrain from contacting prospective student athletes, and that the corporation merge with the university to strengthen cur total program. I am confident that this will be done.”
In this fourth point, Dr. Topping explained the cre-
ation of a new vice presidents position. This position will handle student and alumni affairs and will be headed by former SC All-American Francis Tappaan.
“Mr. Tappaan reports to the university on July 1,”
Dr. Topping added. “In the meantime, I shall assume re-
sponsibility for the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics.”
The fifth and final point tells that S>. is establishing a closer working relationship with the Faculty Committee on Athletics in its advisory capacity.
“Based on the findings of the Faculty Committee, we intend to use every possible avenue to appeal our case to tthe NCAA for a reduction in the severity of the imposed penalties,” the Trojan president continued.
“Looking to the future, I want to assure our faculty, students, alumni and friends that we shall continue to develop our excellent academic program and at the same time maintain our strong intercollegiate athletic program in the proper balance so that one supplements the other to the advantage of both.
“We hope that all friends of the university will not only endorse these actions, but actively support them.”

“He actually revealed a complete breakdown of an approach to the problem of mathematical validity and as a result found it necessary to start a new and radically different point of view,” Dr. Werkmeister explained.
“Although the method he employed was that of phenomenal logical intuition, he eventually approached the position which is in marked parallelism to Kant's transcendental idealism" he continued.
The internal difficulties of Husserl's position became an incentive and starting point for other philosophers who have made strong impressions on the contemporary philosophical scene.

Its setting is France in 1910.
Act of Congress Gives SC Student Loan Fund
National Defense Student Fund of $61,255 has been ished at SC by Congres-act. for incoming or ores-enrolled students. Presi-Topping announced yester-
A Loan establ sional ently dent day.
Application forms for the loan are available at the university siudrnt loan office. 3454 University Ave.
The fund was established to aid students who are unable to continue their studies because of a lack of financial resources. Special Consideration Given Special consideration will l>e given to full time students with superior academic backgrounds who express a desire to teach in elementary and secondary schools or \* hose acadcmic backgrounds indicate a superior capacity or preparation in science, mathematics engineering or a modern foreign language.
Oilier l*ro\isions Other provisions for iwPi ung tlit* loan are that the applicant must l»e a U.S. eitizen, that he must be af'ceped by SC as a regular full-time student and must
be in good standing, making normal and satisfactory progress toward a degree. Applicants must establish a need for the loan to enable them to continue their academic studies.
Maximum Loan SI 000
The maximum loan. $1000 a year, will be made available at the rate of $500 a semester. Loans will be applied to cover tuition first with any remaining balance applied to room and hoard or paid in cash to the borrower.
Loans and interest, at 3 per cent, become payable one year after borrower ceases to be a full-time student and can he paid in 10 equal annual installments.

“On the other hand, his writing resulted in the irrationalism of Heidegger's existentialism and Sartre's French existentialism," Werkmeister said.
The forums, sponsored by the School of Psilosophy, will continue weekly through March 17.
SC Offers TV, Medical Law
Classes in medico-legal problems and radio-TV law will be taught for the first time this semester by SC's School of Law.
Dr. Leo Gclfand, attorney and M.D., will conduct the course in applied medicine for lawyers. It will cover the fundamental principles of medicine.
The course will also include concents and principles of biological sciences, general anatomy, head, neck and back injuries, the coronary and nervous system and the preparation of medico-legal cases for trial. SC is the first law school in this area to offer such a program.
A course in radio and TV law is also being introduced this semester and will be taught by Dixon Q. Dern. an attorney for the CBS network.
The class will cover legal aspects of radio and TV broadcasting, the amended Federal Communications Act of 1934 and the Federal Communications Commission.
Legal problems in the enter- | tainment industry will be taught j by Gordon Stulberg, executive assistant at Columbia Pictures.
These courses are among the I 15 being offered to practicing j lawyers by the Law School.
SC Trio Tracks Snakes on Grant
Three SC biology students, Arnold Kluge, Aden M. Brame j and Robert J. Lavenberg are in Costa Rica this semester studying reptiles and amphibians under a $5200 National Science Foundation grant.
The three will collect samples of weirdly colored poisonous j frogs and deadly snakes, such as | the bushmaster and fer-de-lance. Several of the frog species secrete poison which is used by natives in the preparation of poison-tipped arrows.
The group will spend three months in Costa Rica working in cooperation with the Inter-American Institute for Agricultural Sciences.
Newman Lunch Set for Noon
SC's chapter oi the Newman Guild will hold their annual Mardi Gras Fashion Luncheon at ! the Wilshire Country Club, today, at noon.
Guests will be the Most Rev- ' erend Bishop Alden J. Bell of l„os Angeles, suit 1 the Reverend Joseph WeYer, director of SC’s Newman Club.
Proceeds of the affair will go to the Newman Center’s library.
Rains Blamed For Palisades Earth Slides
I Homes in the Pacific Palisades area that have been drifting into the sea to become “house-' boats" are not the result of earthquakes as is commonly supposed, but water.
SC researcher Eldon Roth, a graduate geology student, says that recent studies show a definite correlation between rainfall occurrence and quantity and slide occurrence.
“It has been found,” said Roth, “that the majority of the landslides in the Pacific Palisades area and farther west accompanied or followed very shortly the periods of highest precipitation.
“Apparently, very little relation seems to exist, generally speaking, between seismic activity and slide occurrences, although one sharp quake in 1931 did cause several landslides,” Roth pointed out.
Roth said that a graph of the ; rainfall, seismic activity and I slide occurrence in the area, over a period of years, indicates a “somewhat irregular increase in ♦ he frequency and number of landslides with the passing of time."
Lawn Watering Blamed
Roth believes, this is caused by the increased quantity of wa-i ter supplied to the land by lawn watering as the area has developed.
Roth analyzed the trend with a warning:
“This will continue unless remedial steps are taken, especially since the effect of this added water is to some extend cumulative.’’
Roth Offers Remedy
Roth has outlined three possi- ; ble remedial and preventive steps j that can be taken:
1—Slope reduction should be ; achieved by cutting and filling I
2—Surface drainage
3—Internal drainage through I horizontally bored drains.
Senior Photos End Friday
Senior pictures for the El Rodeo, SC’s yearbook, are being taken all this week. The last day members of the class of '59 may have pictures made is Friday, reports Editor Frank Glebe rman.
Appointments must be made in advance at the University Photo Shop.
Glehtrman emphasized, “l'lease make your appointments now, not later. We want to have every senior represented in the book."
RESIGNS AS DEAN—Dr. Lawrence C. Lockley, Dean of the
School of Commerce, is leaving his post after serving eight years. His resignation is effective Sept. 1, 1959.
DEEP FREEZE
If necessary, blood can safely be shut off from the brain for 12 to 15 minutes in open heart surgical operations.
This is nearly twice as long as present-day medical science has thought the brain could go without oxygen and not be damaged.
Discoovered by SC Doctor
This new technique in open heart operations was discovered by a physician of SC’s School of Medicine when he cooled his patients’ bodies with ice and thereby slowed down their blood circulation.
Remains Anonymous
The SC physician, who wishes to remain anonymous, made his report yesterday to a meeting of the American College of Physicians in Palm Springs.
He told of 100 open heart surgeries at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles in the past five years, which produced these facts:
1. Although it has been stated that hypothermia (the artificial lowering of body temperature) should not go below 86 degrees Fahrenheit, it is safer to keep patients between S2 and S4 degrees. Normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees.
2. Active breathing was observed at 80 degrees, despite reports that it stopped at 86 degrees.
3. Normal heart beats of 72 per minute continued at 82 ae-
I grees, although slowing of the pulse to 45 or 50 occurred at I higher temperatures where the I rate of cooling was more rapid. The slower heart rate is associated with the rate of fall in temperature rather than the absolute level.
4. Drugs to build up blood pressure work well at and below' 82 degrees, although they have been said to be ineffective in hypothermia because of constriction of the blood vessels by cold.
Slow Heat
3. Although rapid rewarming of patients has been advocated, it can be dangerous. Slow rewarming is safer.
6. Contrary to statements that for safe hypothermia deep breathing was essential to remove carbon dioxide |rom the body, all 100 patients were kept in better heart beat rhythm below 86 degrees with deliberate addition of carbon dioxide in small amounts.
Patients are given an anesthetic before being placed in an ice filled tub for an hour to cool them for the operation. Their body temperature stays down about three hours, and rises again in six hours.
It was forecast that in the years to come, hypothermia will have greater use in the treatment of strokes, congestive heart failure and coronary thrombosis.
Educator To Take Leave of Absence
Dr. Lawrence C. Lockley admitted that it was ‘'more fun writing books than being a dean,” as he announced his resignation from his eight-year post as dean of the School of Commerce yesterday to devote himself to teaching and writing. Dean Lockley will continue as

The 59-year-old educator said that President Norman Topping had confirmed his application for a special leave during the academic year of 1959-60. When he returns in Sept.. 1960. it will be “without administrative assignment.”
“During my special leave from SC,” he said, “I will be a visiting professor at the graduate school of business at Columbia

Roth said that a graph of the ; rainfall, seismic activity and I slide occurrence in the area, over a period of years, indicates a “somewhat irregular increase in ♦ he frequency and number of landslides with the passing of time." Lawn Watering Blamed Roth believes, this is caused by the increased quantity of wa-i ter supplied to the land by lawn watering as the area has developed. Roth analyzed the trend with a warning: “This will continue unless remedial steps are taken, especially since the effect of this added water is to some extend cumulative.’’ Roth Offers Remedy Roth has outlined three possi- ; ble remedial and preventive steps j that can be taken: 1—Slope reduction should be ; achieved by cutting and filling I 2—Surface drainage 3—Internal drainage through I horizontally bored drains. Senior Photos End Friday Senior pictures for the El Rodeo, SC’s yearbook, are being taken all this week. The last day members of the class of '59 may have pictures made is Friday, reports Editor Frank Glebe rman. Appointments must be made in advance at the University Photo Shop. Glehtrman emphasized, “l'lease make your appointments now, not later. We want to have every senior represented in the book." RESIGNS AS DEAN—Dr. Lawrence C. Lockley, Dean of the School of Commerce, is leaving his post after serving eight years. His resignation is effective Sept. 1, 1959. DEEP FREEZE If necessary, blood can safely be shut off from the brain for 12 to 15 minutes in open heart surgical operations. This is nearly twice as long as present-day medical science has thought the brain could go without oxygen and not be damaged. Discoovered by SC Doctor This new technique in open heart operations was discovered by a physician of SC’s School of Medicine when he cooled his patients’ bodies with ice and thereby slowed down their blood circulation. Remains Anonymous The SC physician, who wishes to remain anonymous, made his report yesterday to a meeting of the American College of Physicians in Palm Springs. He told of 100 open heart surgeries at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles in the past five years, which produced these facts: 1. Although it has been stated that hypothermia (the artificial lowering of body temperature) should not go below 86 degrees Fahrenheit, it is safer to keep patients between S2 and S4 degrees. Normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees. 2. Active breathing was observed at 80 degrees, despite reports that it stopped at 86 degrees. 3. Normal heart beats of 72 per minute continued at 82 ae- I grees, although slowing of the pulse to 45 or 50 occurred at I higher temperatures where the I rate of cooling was more rapid. The slower heart rate is associated with the rate of fall in temperature rather than the absolute level. 4. Drugs to build up blood pressure work well at and below' 82 degrees, although they have been said to be ineffective in hypothermia because of constriction of the blood vessels by cold. Slow Heat 3. Although rapid rewarming of patients has been advocated, it can be dangerous. Slow rewarming is safer. 6. Contrary to statements that for safe hypothermia deep breathing was essential to remove carbon dioxide rom the body, all 100 patients were kept in better heart beat rhythm below 86 degrees with deliberate addition of carbon dioxide in small amounts. Patients are given an anesthetic before being placed in an ice filled tub for an hour to cool them for the operation. Their body temperature stays down about three hours, and rises again in six hours. It was forecast that in the years to come, hypothermia will have greater use in the treatment of strokes, congestive heart failure and coronary thrombosis. Educator To Take Leave of Absence Dr. Lawrence C. Lockley admitted that it was ‘'more fun writing books than being a dean,” as he announced his resignation from his eight-year post as dean of the School of Commerce yesterday to devote himself to teaching and writing.

Special Leave The 59-year-old educator said that President Norman Topping had confirmed his application for a special leave during the academic year of 1959-60. When he returns in Sept.. 1960. it will be “without administrative assignment.” “During my special leave from SC,” he said, “I will be a visiting professor at the graduate school of business at Columbia Intends to Write While carrying a full teaching load at Columbia—Marketing Research.
