TREES AND TALK-A group of student leaders and administration officials discusses student problems under the trees -at the recent Idyllwild Leadership Conference. A variety of suggestions for improvement in student spcial life were made.
FOURTH FROM BOTTOM
Row Scholarship Idyllwild Subject
Problems of fraternity scholarship, drinking on the Row, and relations with international students were discussed by the second of the two discussion groups of student leaders who met at Idyllwild last weekend.
Because SC fraternity scholarship averages are fourth from the bottom in national college ratings, the group discussed and recommended an investigation of other colleges with a similar fraternity set up but with high scholastic averages.
Most members felt that the stress of social life and campus activities was mainly responsible for the low grade averages. Another recommendation was for fraternity pledges to make a 2.25 grade average during pledging in order to go active.
Moving from there to the discussion of drinking, the group recommended as a body to set up an educational program whereby leaders of houses would enforce existing “no liquor” regulations.
Some senators suggested a policy of allowing weekend parties in fraternity houses to more effectively control drinking and to keep students from driving home after a party.
Members of the administration however, nixed the proposal because it would violate existing state laws pertaining to minors.

O'Sullivan Names Republican Party Sugar Isolationists1
By Norm Nager
Frank P. O’Sullivan, Democratic candidate for congress in the 15th District, called the Republican party a “political ally and instrument of big business” and a party of “sugar-coated isolationism.” He talked in Founders Hall Wednesday afternoon at an ASSC Forum.
“We had a fair proportion of businessmen and industrialists in the government during our administrations,” O’Sullivan said. “But this is the difference. During our administrations they were in government along with other people.”
20 Year Administration “Under Republicans,” he said, “the corporate interests that dominate our national economic life have been given the same kind of control over our political life. Such a conosntration of economic and political power in one special group is dangerous,” he said.
“At r -> end of 20 years of Democratic administrations, there were more private businesses, with greater production, mors employees, higher profits, and bigger dividend checks than ever before.
“Big Business”
“The Republicans opposed the TVA, the REA, Grand Coulee, and Bonneville, yet tjjese resulted in new industries and new prosperity for business in whole regions. The output and profits of power companies themselves are higher,” he added.
“You see the big business control of the Republican party in the GOP tax bill which gives the bulk of tax relief to corporations and their shareholdsrs.” He said that there was a “drive of Republicans to give away” public power control to private monopolies.
“A monopoly of atomic energy, in this modern age, would make the big beef, oil, and power trusts of Teddy Roosevelt’s day look as innocent as a country store,” the speaker went on to say.
“Fortress Eroded”
“The Republicans have no program equal to our needs in world affairs, too,” said he.
The fortress of the free world “erected of strength ar.d confidence under America with the leadership of President Truman,” O’Sullivan said, turned the Communist threat back.
“But in the 20 months since the GOP came to power in Washington that fortress has been steadily eroded. The decay is visible and dramatic in Indochina and is evident in Western Europe in tha growth of neutralism and departism and the loss of confidence in America’s leadership,” he said.
“Massive retaliation has become massive humiliation,” he claimed. “The new look is simply the new weakness. No one has been liberated. We sit on the sidelines while Geneva turns into what Senator Knowland calls another Munich,” O’Sullivan ended.

McDonough Lauds Republican Party For Its Legislation
By Norm Nager
“The 83rd Congress has passed more legislation bene-fitting more individuals than any other Congress in recent history.”
So said Rep. Gordon L. McDonough when he spoke in Founders Hall yesterday at an ASSC Forum event. Me Donough is the incumbent Congressman from the 15th District.
McDonough named several tax reductions the Republican controlled Congress passed. These reductions, he said, amounted to $100 in many households and affected most of the nation.
Among the reductions he named were an “across the board” reduction benefitting pensioners, and another reduction for college students.
College students will be able to deduct $600 from their income which is taxed, the Congressman said, as a result of the new legislation. Tax reductions, he said, were accomplished by a cut of $14 billion in the budget for government agencies.
McDonough said that new legislation has been passed which will “make it easier” to pay off housing loans and “harder for housing scandals, as in the past, to occur.” Where homes are neglected or there has been a blight, loans will be provided and borrowers will have a lower down payment to put down and more time to pay off the loan, he said.
The Korean problem was a difficult problem to settle, the Congressman said, “but we did it.” The United States took a “tactful position to avoid involvement in Indo-China and also used “tact and strategy” in settling the Iranian dispute, he said.
McDonough also discussed the new farm parity legislated by the Republicans and the surpluses connected to parity programs. He said that many of the farmers agreed that sordlthing should be done with the old parity program. He stressed that the welfare of the farmers affected the welfare of the nation.
Under the Republicans, McDonough said, the bill to outlaw the communists was passed, the value of the dollar was stabilized “if not advanced,” vets received added compensation, and more social security payments were made.
Steve Robertson, chairman of the Forum, estimated 40 students and faculty heard Frank O’Sullivan, Democratic candidate, and 30 heard McDonough. He said that steps will be taken to get bigger audiences for other speakers.
Sen. Thomas Kuchel, Trojan alumnus, will speak in FH 129 at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, Robertson said, and Mildred Younger, candidate for state senator and Trojan alumna, will appear on campus Thursday.
SC-Oregon in Run for Bowl
Gridders Face Air Attack In TV Game of Week
by Murray Brown
Daily Trojan Sports Editor
It’s almost three months until Rose Bowl time, but the »PCC representative could very well be decided tomorrow afternoon when SC’s swift Trojans fight it out with air-minded Oregon in the National TV “Game of the Week.”
Kickoff time is 1:30 p.m. at Multnomah stadium in Portland.
The Trojans, who whomped Washington State 39-0 In their only conference game, are expected to find Coach Len Casanova’s Ducks more indigestible than any other Rose Bowl rival.
Bowl Chances Increase
Last week Oregon lifted its chances for returning to the Bowl after an absence of 35 years when it stunned California 33-27. The Duck’s conference mark is now 2-1. They have the advantage of meeting the Trojans on their home grounds, where they upset them 13-7 last season. They are only a two-point underdog to Troy—the least any SC opponent has been so far.
Their passing attack is the second best among the nation’s colleges with an average of 188.8 yards gained in four games. The prime mover of the Webfoot’s air game is busy Quarterback George Shaw, a likely All-American choice and the man they call the best back from the PCC in the last ten years. Gorgeous George is the nation’s No. 1 passer with 580 yards gained—137 more than his nearest rival. His completion percentage is an eye-blinking 49.4.
Dangerous on Ground
But Shaw is also dangerous on the ground. And the more than 80 yards he picked up there has made him the individual total offense leader in the country. He led Oregon from a two-touchdown deficit to a six-point victory over the Bears last week by scoring one touchdown, passing for another, and booting three conversions. He also hit 12 out of 20 passes in the game observers claimed was the greatest of his career.
At the beginning of the season, Oregon supporters knew that the teams chances were wrapped up in Shaw. And the back has come through in better-than-expected fashion. Coach Casanova’s pre-season clairvoyance is also bearing out. He had said:
“We’ll be improved particularly on offense. We could do very well if we get some breaks, and don’t get any of our key men such as Shaw injured.

Former Oregon Star Killed Accidentally
From United Press
SPRINGFIELD, Ore.—Ken Sweitzer, 22, outstanding senior on last year’s University of Oregon football team, was killed in a hunting accident yesterday by a rifle bullet fired by his close friend, Jack Patera, star guard on this year’s Webfoot eleven.
The accident occurred in foggy weather shortly before 7 a.m. while the two were deer hunting about 19 miles east of here.
The tragedy came as a shock to the Oregon team, which faces Southern California in Portland tomorrow in a crucial Pacific Coast Conference game.
Broken-Up
A spokesman for the athletic department said Patera was “completely broken up” about the accident. It was not known immediately if he would play tomorrow.
Sweitzer, from Pasadena, Cjdif., was married and the father of an 11-day-old daughter. A guard, he was selected by teammates at the end of last season as the outstanding senior of the scjuad. He was attending the university as a graduate student.
Casanova Informed
Coach Len Casanova hurried to the home of Sweitzer’s widow, the former Synova Erickson of Eugene, Ore., upon hearing of the tragedy.

217 Yesterday A total of 217 freshmen cast ballots yesterday in an opening day turnout which Elections Commissioner Bette Dobkin termed “mediocre.”
“Everything ran smoothly in spite of the fact that many people who had signed up as poll workers didn’t show up,” Mrs. Dobkin said.
The elections commissioner appealed to everyone who had signed up to work today to show up at the polls at the appointed time.
No Majority The first day total of 217 is 95 less than last year’s first day balloting when 635 voted in the two-day election.

Four Foot Trophy Set As HC Prize
Bruins Borrow SC Fire Truck
What would UCLA do without SC?
Southern Campus, the “tardy” Bruin yearbook which figured in the news recently, now finds itself in the embarrassing position of having to borrow the Pi Kappa Alpha fire engine for the Bruin’s homecoming parade tonight.
The DT learned yesterday that the PiKAs agreed to lend the bright red fire engine to the Westwooders with the stipulation that four or five PiKA fraternity men “operate” the engine in the parade.
A four-foot high grand sweep-' stakes trophy will be awarded to the organization participating in the most Homecoming events and chalking up the most points, according to Homecoming Chairman Tom Pflimlin.
“Everything is relative during Homecoming this year,” he said. “We believe that any group will have the incentive to participate in as many Homecoming events as possible if it will eventually lead to the grand sweepstakes trophy.”
Point Setup
Pflimlin added that this trophy should not be confused with the parade grand sweepstakes trophy which is awarded to the organization designing the best float.
Points are set up as follows:
Entering a float in the parade, or building house or University Avenue Decorations—5 points: entering a non-float in the parade—
3 points; entering the Diamond Jubilee Show—5 points; entering Flapper Day—3 points: entering the Charleston Contest during Flapper Day—2 points; supplying at least 100 pounds of inflamable material for the bonfire—2 points.
Winners’ Points
Points given to winners are as follows:
Grand sweepstakes winner in parade or house decorations—5 points; first place in float or house decoration division—3 points; first place in University Avenue decorations—3 points; First, second, third places in Diamond Jubilee Show—3, 2 or 1 point; First, second, third places in Flapper Day— 5, 3 or 2 points; First in Cnarles-ton Contest—2 points.
