IFC to Meet With UCLAns
A joint meeting of the SC-UCLA Inter-Fraternity Council will be held today at 3:15 p.m. in UCLA’s SAE house, it was announced by Ron Pacini, Troy’s J IFC president.
A tour of the Westwood fraternities is scheduled for the ear- | ly afternoon, to be followed by a I dinner at 6:15. The annual meeting. which all fraternity presi- j dents attend, was held on tbe Trojan campus last year.

NSA Group Passes Two SC Resolutions
Bike-Riding Pushed As Aid To Ease Parking Problem
Bermudas are bringing bicycles to the Trojan campus.
Style conscious Trojans will soon be seen parading to and from the Row and around campus on bicycles, according to Dr. William Stratford, Interfraternity Coordinator.
“Many colleges have already turned t o this stylish means of transportation, including Stanford and Cal,” Strat- I-------------------------—
Tw'o SC-sponsored resolutions were approved by delegates to the Far Western Region Conference of the National Students Association at Westwood last weekend.
“There was a feeling of respect for SC. No doubt we have a fine place in the organization,” ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne said. This marked the first time that SC had taken a part in an NSA. convention. SC joined the group two weeks ago.
Only UCLA and - Cal voted against a resolution to let Korean War veterans going to private universities enjoy the same benefits as veterans of World War II.
Special Allowance
Under Public Law 346, passed just after World War II, veter-
ans attending private schools receive a special allowance to compensate for the difference in cast between a public and private college.
No distinction in allowance Is made for Korean veterans under Public Law 550.
The other resolution asked the Secretary of Defense to clarify a phrase, “sympathetic association,” used in the loyalty oath required of all ROTC students. Backers of the bill feared receiving mail, or attending social functions of a subversive group might be considered “sympathetic association.”
Loyalty Oath
A proposal by UCLA that the ROTC loyalty oath be censored was dropped. -
“Our resolutions carried by the greatest majority of the day,” ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne reported. “The majority of the colleges and universities in the region are private schools and they immediately identified themselves with SC.”
The veterans* resolution now goes to the national NSA convention, and if appproved there, will be pushed by the NSA lobby in Washington, D.C., Van Alstyne said.

Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid is an ardent bicycle fan, having once toured England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales on a tandem.
“Racks will be built in convenient locations around campus where students can park their bikes,” Stratford said.
One of 17
The bicycle fad was one of 17 suggestions recently offered when IFC and Pan Hellenic representatives met with city officials in an attempt to relieve the parking problem around SC

Saturday Lunches Sell Fast
Senior Day Tickets For Coliseum Meal Restricted to 600
The Harbor Freeway moved a step closer to the SC campus yesterday as a new link was opened extending to Adams Boulevard.
Before yesterday’s opening, Trojan commuters could reach only as far as Washington Boulevard via the Freeway, but now the super highway reaches almost into SC’s back yard.
The extension, according to Assistant Chief Engineer Hal Holly of the Auto Club of Southern California, will “transfer a lot of congestion from W a s h i n gton Boulevard to Adams.”
Link Will Help When asked whether the new link would mean faster driving,
Holly stated, “We can’t promise less congestion during the morning and evening rush hdurs, of course, but we do feel the new link will help considerably.”
“We’re engineers, not magicians,” he continued. “Figueroa has been used for many years and we still want the public to use it regulafly. The freeway is not a substitute, but a supplement, for city driving.”
More Expansion Plans have been made to extend the speedway as far south as'Santa Barbara Avenue by next November.
The Harbor Freeway isn’t the only time saver in town that’s undergoing a face-lifting. The Ramona Freeway now boasts the largest stretch of full freeway construction to be opened at one time: 13.4 miles.
Ceremonies Today Ceremonies will take place this morning, according to the State Division of Highways, at the Euclid Avenue interchange in Ontario.
This link, extending from Archi-, bald Avenue to San Dimas Avenue, cost nearly $12 million. Additional links are also being planned in that area, to make for 41 miles of uninterrupted highway from the Civic Center to j Archibald Avenue.
Box lunch tickets for Saturday’s Senior Day are selling fast, according to Senior Day Chairman Bob De Rienzo. The ducats are on sale in front of SU for 50 cents.

gone iar before the deadline.” Ticket holders will be admittf'* at the West end of the Coliseum between 10:45 and l1 ^15 a.i.’. urday. Seniors will also need their A-books and rooters tickets.
The lunches will be distributed by Chimes at 11:55 a.m., and then a member of the Alumni Assoc:a-tion will address the seniors on the “Benefits of the Alumni Association to Graduates.”

TAIPEI, FORMOSA—Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek’s military leaders met today to plan retaliatory attacks against the Chinese Communists for the sinking of a Nationalist destroyer escort.
Reliable sources said that the Nationalists p r o b ably were seeking the view of American officials in Washington on the latest Red attack.
Bad w’eather north of Tachen Island hampered any retaliatory action.
Nationalist warships and air force planes covered the rough seas north of the island outpost in a search for survivors of the 1800-ton destroyer escort Taip-ing, w hich was sunk by Red PT boats Sunday.	|

Dr. Robert H. Kennedy, surgical director of the Beekman-Downtown Hospital in New York City, told 10,000 surgeons that 95,000 persons were killed outright in accidents in 1953, but that some might have been saved if they had received skilled first aid.
