when a constructive senatorial background and a higher respect for student government will be attained.
“The Senate under Scott’s leadership.” she said, “has become more than a juvenile political unit; il has become interested in intellectual and cultural fields and has become a responsible and respected group.’’
Two Viewpoints She explained that the Senates achievements must be observed through two viewpoints:
i 1 ( The group who meets every other Wednesday in a business meeting, performing routine and necessary business.

“The people, who say that a Senate meeting is not creative, have the wrong idea about student government,*’ she main-

“The totalitarian aspects of ’ordering’ people around and telling them to do special jobs,” she said.
“But Scott, like Larry Sipes before him, has a keen desire to stay in the democratic lorm of government and this literally different ^as ‘tied up his hands,' ” she said.
“The only answer,’’ she maintained. “is a middle-of-the-road type of philosophy where the president can prod and push people in certain ways.”

BULLETIN
Two SC students who admitted planting a home-made bomb under the cheerleaders’ platform at the Coliseum as a "prank” won’t face police charges, authorities said today.
Lt. Bill Porter of the university police headquarters said that the pair, Dave Yisel and Neil Bazier, admitted planting the bomb — which didn't go off — prior to the game with UCLA. Both maintained that it was not dangerous, however, and was intended only to cause smoke if it did explode.
Student activities committee meetings continued today in the office of Dean of Students Robert G. Gordon. No official decision is expected until tonight, however. The committee’s completed report will then be submitted to President Norman Topping for administrative approval.
Both Visel and Bazier were members of the Trojan Knights, Porter said that more than 50 students in all — all members of the Knights—apparently were involved in the “prank.”

World Affairs Meet Given 5-Point Plan To Win Conflicts
By DAVID C. HENLEY
A five-point program to cope with limited wars—the confined conflicts which have been so successfully used by the Communists to gain material and psychological prestige in the past decade—was proposed at the 35th session of the World Affairs Institute last night by General

BLOOD TALK
Lecturer Tells Effect Of Bark on Pressure
Today's Weather
Trojans will peer through hazy sunshine today following the dispersal of early morning fog and low clouds. The fog and (¡louds will make a comeback in the late afternoon, however. High for today will match yesterday’s 68. Last night’s low was 48.
Extracts from the bark of the Australian Alstonia tree may prove to be revolutionary new agents in the treatment of high blood pressure Dr. R. C. Elder-field. professor of chemistry at the University of Michigan, told SC’s science fraternity Sigma Xi last night.
Research began eight years ago when it was discovered that the Indian snake root contained a highly active hypotensive agent. The finding of this constituent, reserpine. renewed investigation of various botanical species of which the Alstonia bark is a member.
New Discovery
After exhaustive chemical tests on a few of the species, he said, it was discovered that constricts, an alkaloidal constituent of Alstonia, exerted a strong effect on blood pressure and the total crude alkaloid fraction of Alstonia, muelleriana, effects the body in the same manner as resperine but in a short time.
From constricta alone, contends Dr. Elderfield, three nitro-g e n e o u s have been obtained whose types and biogenetic origin poses still more, fascinating problems. Correlation of the chemical structures with physiological activity provides new bases for the

design of synthetic compounds that may open the way to improvements on nature.
Although muelleriana is distinctly potent as a blood pressure depressant, none of the other new alkaloids presently isolated from the bark of the Alstonia tree showr hypotensive action. The tree which grows in northern Australia and nearby islands has been noted in folk? lore for its effective extract agent used in the fight against malaria. Interest in the tree's bark was renewed with the discovery of the new alkaloidal compounds.
The general methods of isola-ion, structure proof and synthesis of the new substances concluded the address by Dr. Elderfield, a member of the National (Continued on Page 2)

it is a reality.
Russ Gains
Limited wars, conflicts such as the Korean Action which saw a heavy loss of life, but did not threaten America’s national existence, will be used more and more during the coming years, General Taylor told his listeners. because the Communists are “well aware of the very material gains they have made in the past through this form of limited aggression.”
Some of these successful actions, he said, were the Chinese Civil W’ar, guerilla operations in Greece and Malaya, the Hungarian revolt, and the recent renewal of hostilities in the Taiwan (Formosan) Straits.
Thus, said the West Point educated soldier, in agreeing that the limited war in is here .to stay, the United States, although it now has a significant capability to cope with limited wars, must take steps to improve this capability.
Hence, Taylor's five-point program.

Expeditions
Scott’s second and last expedition to the Antarctic successfully reached the pole, only to find that the Norwegian expedition headed by Raold Anundsen had gotten there first.
The first expedition was a qualified success because it came closer to the pole than any of the earlier trips. From this journey, however. Scott developed his lasting distaste for the use of dogs and sledging. This
distaste had much influence on
his second trip.
First To Pole
In 1910. Scott received permission from the British government to conduct an expedition into the Antarctic. The idea of being the first to reach the pole
dominated Scott's actions.
He was onset by trouble from the first when he received a letter from Anundsen saying, “Madera—am going South.”

Photographs from such serious

The exhibit was organized by the University of Washington and brought to SC through the efforts of Richard G. Adams, an
photograph and program of SC's 1 SC graduate student.
The Newman Guild annual Christmas luncheon will be held at noon today at the Newman Center.
Miss Martha Jo Chalmers, SC student, will sing a medley of songs, and the Washington High School Madrigal group, under the direction of Mrs. June Mc-Conlonge, will give a program of I union Christmas Carols.
Henley asked the highest ranking Army officer in the country if the draft might soon be eliminated.
The general chuckled, took a deep breath, and said “I see no elimination or reduction of the draft whatsoever in the near future. We need all the men we can get.”
The question was asked of the General because of the increased use of atomic weapons in modern warfare which reportedly will require more skilled but a smaller number of men.
General Taylor also told his press conference that the Army is “very pleased” with its new' program to gradually weed from its ranks those found to be lacking in sufficient mental capabilities.
