“Does your coffee contain chicory?” “Is there grease floating on the top?”
These questions were asked several persons while they were sipping their coffee in the Grill yesterday. The strange queries came as a result of an investigation launched by Joe Cerrell, ASSC proxy senator. •

Religious Journals
Books« and many complete or nearly complete runs of the more important 19th century theological journals issued in California are part of the library.
The material was acquired partly by purhase and partly through the duplicate exchange program of the American Theological Library Association.
Bay Area seminaries have a joint acquisitions and holding policy, Shell said, and wished to distribute theological materials better throughout California so the labrary files were made available to SC for use of the Los Angeles area.
being fed greasy coffee which is diluted with chicory.
Cerrell also feels 8 cents is too much to charge for coffee when it can be bought elsewhere for 5 cents.
“For 10 cents students can buy coffee at local eateries and sit there all day receiving free refills,” Cerrell said.
“In direct comparison, the university charges 8 cents and there are no refills. Besides you can almost always find grease floating on the top plus dirty, spoons and cups,” he added.
He explained that his investigation was prompted by students complaining to him about the coffee problem on campus.
Practical Problem “This is one of the most practical problems facing the student body and a very legitimate gripe,” Cerrell said.
“People who are associated with restaurants tell me that our coffee has a chicory content making it impure,” he said.
Cerrell said that he would like to look into the possibility of improving the flavor of the coffee, having more care taken in washing cups and utensils, and a possible price reduction.
“I would also like to check the situation of waiting in line just for a cup of coffee,” he said.
Director Interviewed Jumping to the other side of the fence, Miss lone Malone, director of Commons and Residence Halls, was interviewed to get her reaction to the charges that her coffee is not up to par.
“Maybe the students are comparing the coffee on campus to that served in near-by cafes where the coffee is made for immediate consumption and* does not have to sit around in large urns,” Miss Malone said.
“Since we are forced to prepare the coffee in large amounts we cannot boil the water, which is an essential for good coffee, and take other time-consuming measures if we want to satisfy the immediate wants of the stu-’dents,” she said.
Urns Blamed “Coffee in urns naturally affects the taste but as far as chicory is concerned the students will have to contact the company we buy our coffee from since they don’t send us a detailed analysis of the content of every pound of coffee we buy,” Miss Malone added.
When students were interviewed in the Grill yesterday to get their reaction to the coffee some of the following replies were made:
Rich Haskell, senior and president of the School of Engineering, felt that the chicory in the coffee might be all right for the Southerners, but “we Yankees aren't that strong! At least, it’s hot!”
Kirk Dickens, senior physics major, said that two colleagues, Tom Brown and Ray Walgren, tested the coffee with pH and found that it was slightly acidic.
SC Party Not Dead -Purcell
Plans Not in Sight To Contest Senate
Trojan Baseball Week IncludesQueenContest
By Phil Cook
Baseball Coach Rod Dedeaux and his staff yesterday
TROY DESERVES TV EMMYJ began carrying out plans for a “Trojan Baseball Week” in
/ 1 connection with National Baseball Week, Mar. 19-26.
PFLIMLIN wires academy
cell declared yesterday that while the Student Conservative Party has no definite plans to fight the ASSC Senate’s denial of recognition, the party is “far from dead.” “The near-libelous smear campaign by TRG is designed to put us out of operation or leave us without support," charged Purcell. “Not one iota of proof has been brought forward,” he said, in answer to the Senate's charge of TNE control and an unrepresentative self-perpetuating steering committee.
Tong Controlled ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne and IFC President Ron Weintraub maintained in Wednesday night’s Senate meeting that the SC Party steering committee is controlled by Theta Nu Epsilon, secret political group which has tried for years to dominate campus politics by dishonest methods.
Other senators claimed that the SC Party constitution gives primary power in selection of candidates to a self-perpetuating steering committee instead of to the party as a whole.
Members Vote Purcell pointed out that the individual fraternities definitely control membership of the steering committee and the way in which their members vote.
To substantiate this, he quoted from the SC Party constitution, “The steering committee shall be composed of undergraduate representatives of any campus groups.
Rep Recall
“Each fraternity or sorority shall have the right to choose its own member to represent it on the steering committee and each group shall have the right to recall their representative."
Absolutely no control of the SC Party members is in my hands,” Purcell declared.
“The SC Party," he continued, “regardless of whether or not it is recognized, is composed of students at SC—no other organization is involved.”
Tom Pflimlin, editor of Wampus, has complained to the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences that they overlooked one category in its recent Emmy awards.
In a wire to Don DeFore, president of the Academy, Pfiimlin declared that an award should have been made ior the best closed circuit TV program of the year.
Naturally, Pflimlin said, such a statuette should have gone to SC.
“At the end of your second day of broadcast,” Pflimlin wired, “realized Academy had omitted vital award classification.
“Wampus magazine requests your Academy issue posthumous Bmmy award for outstanding closed circuit program of year to SC’s 75th anniversary speech, in glorious hlack and white starring Ken Shanks and playing to audience of six freshmen who thought they were in an elementery biology classrom.
“By definition,” the wire continued, “Shanks is .a reasonably lovable speech instructor at SC. Wampus classifies your George Gobel as an open circuit Shanks.
“Signed, Tom Pflimlin, Editor, Wampus magazine, reasonably humorous humor magazine of SC.”

Solon Declares A Burro Isn't A Sacred Cow
SACRAMENTO, Mar. 10— (UP)—The Senate Fish and Game Committee today approved a measure by Sen. Jess R. Dorsey (R-Bakersfield) which would extend for two years the prohibition against killing wild burros.
A provision was added that the burros, common to Southern California, could be captured for pets—only if a special permit were obtained.
Dorsey told the committee prohibition against killing the little animals was not sufficient as “those who want to kiU them now w’restle them and put them in trucks to haul away for cat and dog food.”
A Fish and Game official said It was wrong “to make the burro a sacred cow.” William P. Dasmann said burros provided serious competition to other big game animals.
In other actions, the committee killed a bill which would have limited hunter safety training to persons 12 years of age or older. It approved measures allow ing a game warden to demand to see a weapon in a vehicle and to remove the provision that no person or group could stook a lake or stream with fish if they did not own land adjacent to the water.
beliefs,” said Maxine Karpman, independent women's representative,
SC is one of more than a dozen institutions of higher learning, including Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Reed, and Bryn Mawr, which have invited the Russian students to observe their campuses.
Invited to Troy
The resolution extends an invi-
panied Maytham in making the
presentations.
The corporation and the foundation have an expanded five-year plan to 1960 comprising direct contributions, scholarships, fellowships, and special educational aids.
It represents the largest financial support program for education made by the company and the foundation since Westinghouse entered the aid-to-educa-tion field in 1919, according to Gwilym A. Price, president of the corporation and a trustee of the foundation in Pittsburgh.
“The existence of privately-endowed colleges and universities, including the liberal arts institutions, is threatened because of difficulties in financing, rising operating costs, and building-up capital for much-needed expansion,” Price said.
The nationwide program will provide:
1.	Contributions to school operating expenses and building equipment funds totaling $2,350,-000.
2.	More than 300 annual scholarships, fellowships, professorships and teaching awards approximating $1,750,000.
3.	Special educational activities including scholarships for employees and their children and summer employment programs for teachers totaling $900,000.
Highlights of the week’s events will be the formation of a Knothole Club and the selection of a “Miss Trojan Baseball of 1955.”
The baseballers began preparations following Senate approval of the project Wednesday night.
Other events for the season will include a Ladies’ Day to be held every Friday, several throwing and hitting contests, as well as the yearly “Powder Puff Game” featuring the sororities.
Pennant Raised Opening the season against UCLA Mar. 19, the fourth consecutive CIBA pennant will be raised over Bovard Field. Efforts are being made to have Sheriff Eugene Biscailuz toss out the opening ball.
In addition to being the first official game for the team, this will be the official opening of National Baseball Week. This is observed by every organized baseball group in the nation. Partici- j pating will be the major and mi-1 nor professional leagues, and all j of the NCAA and the many organized youth leagues throughout the nation.
Others Work Working with Dedeaux on this, season’s activities are Howard Smith, president of Knights, and Harry Nelson, student activities adviser.
“Miss Trojan Baseball” will be chosen from coeds who have shown an interest in baseball, Dedeaux said.
Judges for the contest will include co-captains John Stevenson and John Garten, in addition to Dedeaux, Smith, and Nelson. Introduced in Bovard Candidates for “Miss Baseball” should leave their application pictures and a dollar in	th e
Knights’, office, 232 SU, starting next Monday. Applications	will
be accepted all week with judging to be held the following week. The queen will be introduced in Bovard on Mar. 25 before	the
Stanford game.
Dedeaux said it is easy to see why baseball is the “National Pastime.” Professors and students come out to Bovard whenever we play just to stop and watch a few innings, he said.
Enjoyed by All “Baseball is the only sport on campus that can be played and enjoyed by everyone,” Dedeaux said. “It can be played for relaxation without physical harm,” he added.
Many professors have told Dedeaux that they will take a few minutes 'for a breather to walk over and watch even a part of an inning between their afternoon classes, he said.

IFC To Probe Rushing Slump Among Houses
Ron Weintraub, IFC president, yesterday appointed a committee of Council members to investigate the poor response fraternity rushing has received this year at SC.
Committee members are Jeoff England, Tom Smith, and Tony Collins.
“We want to see why rushing fell down this year so we are contacting other universities to find out how they conduct the procedure at their particular schools,” Weintraub said.
The IFC also plans, as part of .the investigation, to send postcards to the freshmen to discover why they did not pledge a fraternity. It is felt more direct replies could be obtained by this method.
The ASSC vice president must notify IFC one month in advance when any social night changes are being made, according to a suggestion made at the meeting.
Fraternities have been complaining that the social calendar has been changed too often without adequate notice, Weintraub said.
Weintraub also urged smaller houses to participate in minor IFC sports in order to balance the competition among the leagues. Special trophy points are being awarded in minor sports to encourage participation, he said.
where it failed as a result of the administration’s disapprorval and the feeling that the Russians might carry out spy activities on the UCLA campus, according to Miss Karpman.
“Fine for Campus”
‘The recent SC decision is a fine thing for the campus and helps show that the 'iron curtain’ is only a one way affair,” she concluded.
A committee of five has been formed to extend the invitation to the students. Plans for their visit here include a panel discussion under the direction of Steve Robertson, ASSC Forum Committee chairman, and a campus tour.
“I think it is an excellent idea to bring them to the U.S. to see what the American student is like. Perhaps the trip will help destroy the myths they probably hold about Americans. It is a step forward for SC,” Murray Bring, senator-at-large, commented.
