Expulsion of ZBTs Adds to Shakeup
Political shakeups continue on the Row this week as Zeta Beta Tau fraternity seeks membership in TRG after splitting with the Student Conservative Party amid heated charges Thursday night.
The SC Party steering committee expelled ZBT for disloyalty, after learning that its members had been negotiating for a place in the opposition TRG Party.
ZBT President Ron Weintraub welcomed the expulsion, announcing that his house had taken a vote at lunch Thursday to disaffiliate with the party anyway.
Political Benefits Weintraub told the steering committee that while he realized ZBT had benefited politically by it’s affiliation with the SC Party, he could no longer tolerate the tactics of TNE.
A committee member protested
Weintraub’s association of the SC party with the infamous underground political group.
“The SC Party executive committee is synonymous with TNE,” Weintraub retorted. “You’re not
fooling anybody,” he added, “I’d rather just talk to you as Tong brothers.”
Steering committee members immediately broke in with spirited denials' of any connection between the SC Party and the secret TNE group.
Leaves Meeting The steering committee then voted to expell ZBT, and Wein-
traub, who is also IFC president, left the meeting.
Discussing the decision of ZBT to leave the party, steering committee members charged that it was Weintraub’s personal political ambitions which prompted the ZBT break from the SC faction.
“I don’t think it was the men of the ZBT house. They have more intelligence than that. I think it was the aims of one man,” said one committee member.
“Deals Made”
The committee agreed that they didn’t like to “see deals being made behind their backs,” and moved on to the business of the special election campaigning.
The committee approved the general party meeting recommendation of candidates. Jim Allen is running with the SC Party for veteran’s representative, and Barbara Frank will receive SC Party support for ASSC * secretary although she is,not affiliated with any party. The steering committee discussed a personal contact campaign among veterans for Allen.
Hurst In As Solum Pulls Out
TRG Sees Victory Of Senator-at-Large As Opponent Quits
TRG-supported Jim Hurst was virtually assured of his election as senator-at-large when his last opponent, Conrad Solum, dropped out of the race Friday.
According to Tau Kappa Epsilon president Harvey Palash Solum did not authorize anyone to submit his petition for candidacy.
Petitioner Unknowner
“We don’t know who did it, but Conrad never intended to run for office,” said Palash. “He was recently elected vice-president of Knights and considers his program too full for any other office.”
Solum could not be reached for comment.
When informed of Solum’s withdrawal and assured that the information had come from a reliable source, Hurst said that he was happy to learn that he was the only candidate for the office and would work “to elevate student politics to a level of honesty and integrity so that they will merit tlie respect of the student body.”
“But I deeply regret that I cannot take advantage of the opportunity a campaign would give me to refute the irresponsible and farcial statements made by former candidate Leroy Barker,” he continued.
Hurst was referring to the statement issued by Barker as the reason for his withdrawal last Thursday.
Barker’s Withdrawal
“I feel,” said Barker, “that TRG (Trojans for Representative Government) is blacker than TNE ever was, even back in the days when it (TNE) was national.” He also stated that he felt it was more important to have the “total independent vote behind Confrad Solum,” and referred to the election as having “too much political mud slinging with the parties jockeying for position.”
No corroboration could be obtained for the rumor that the Solum petition was submitted by TNE party members without his permission.

Pilots Study Aviation Safety Course at SC
If they pass the course, a group of SC students will graduate March 4 from the only college course of its kind in the world. For the final exam students will b6 taken to view an airplane crash and asked what caused it.
The course is actually five separate courses making up a program of aviation safety. The students are generally pilots from the Army, Navy, Air Force an<^ Marine Corps, but the present class includes five Canadian officers and three civilian airline representatives.
Hour Classes
The five courses in the program are aeronautical engineer ing, aviation psychology, aviation physiology, accident prevention techniques and accident investiga tion. The students are in class seven hours a day for five days a week. The course lasts eight weeks.
SC was selected by the government for this important program because of its proximity to the aircraft industry and to Norton Air Force Base near San Bernardino, where the Air Force’s flight safety research program is located. SC also has the only hu man centrifuge — a device for testing human reactions under simulated flight conditions—west of the Mississippi.
Andrews Instructs
The instructor for the course is Frank G. Andrews. Andrews learned to fly in 1925. He was an airline pilot, test pilot, and flight instructor before turning to his present field.
“People plus hardware equal accidents,” Andrews says is the basic formula to be followed in accident investigation.
After a plane crash investigators examine every piece of the airplane that can be found to determine whether it was damaged in flight or on impact with the ground.

cities
areas, speakers said at an alumni day meeting celebrating the 25th anniversary of the School of Public Administration. It w>as part of the Diamond Jubilee observance of the University’s 75th anniversary.
“There is also the danger that individual citizens will be so busy with their own problems that they will have little time to know much about the factors that must go into broad public policy decisions,” said Richard W. Gable, assistant professor of public administration. “So public officials will be even more on their own,” he 6aid.
Increasing Population
“We shall have in this country and the world, a rapidly growing population with all the responsibilities that implies,” he said. “In the U. S. w'e have reason to estimate a population over 200,000,-000 by 1980. The world population will be 34 billion.
When the School of Public Administration was started 25 years ago the world population stood at two billion. There has never ‘been a 50-year period in the history of the world in which popu-
lation increases were as rapid as between 1930 and 1980. In the period between 850 B.C. and 1650 A.D. the world population increased only from an estimated 100,000,000 to 545,000,000.
“We have a gross national product in this country of approximately $300,000,000. Economists estimate by 1980 this will be in excess of $500,000,000. It is possible with an increase of about eight per cent in the gross national product nearly to double the standard of living of the people in this country.
“The potentialities of population and economic growth are almost too great to contemplate, and their implications for the public administrator extend far beyond our present knowledge of the field.”
Past Reviewed
Dr. Emery E. Olson, founder’ of the School of Public Administration and its dean from 1930 to 1953, reviewed the past 25 years during which SC pioneered the new professional school of public service.
With 1500 students, it is the largest in the nation and the second oldest.
Drs. Olson and Emmerich Receive Honorary Degrees
Honorary degrees of Doctor of Civil Law were conferred Friday night upon two men at a formal banquet at the California Club celebrating the 25th anniversary of the School of Public Administration.
Dr. Emery E. Olson, founder and first dean of the School, who
served from 1930 to 1953; and Dr. Herbert Emmerich, Chicago, director of the Public Administration Clearing House, received the degree from President Fred D. Fagg Jr. “for their outstanding contributions to the administration of public affairs.”
Dean Olson, executive vice president of Sterling Electric Motors Inc. of L. A., was presented as a candidate' for the honorary degree by Dr. John M.
Pfiffner, professor of public administration. Dr. Emmerich was presented by Dean Henry Reining Jr., who succeeded Dean Olson.
Dean Olson Hailed Dean Olson wTas hailed as a pioneer in public service education, a man who headed the L. A.
Civil Service Commission and brought the city’s personnel program back to self respect and high professional status.
“He has been a tireless worker for high standards of civil ser-vioe in his membership on the State Personnel Board and in his wartime service for the Federal government,” the citation with his degree said.
Dr. Emmerich was called “the most important private person in public administration in the
United States, the world’s principal protagonist for improvement in governmental administration.”
The career man in American government has arrived and is an essential part of our 20th century economy, Dr. Emmerich said in an address at the banquet.
“The American public servant does not desire a position of superiority and special privilege which characterized old European governments which originated the unattractive word ‘bureaucracy,’ ” he said.
“But capable men will not be attracted to and remain in the public service if it is regarded as an inferior, degrading and parasitic vocation. The press and public opinion can save money for the taxpayer if they will accord fair play and equality of treatment with other vocations to public officials—no more and no less.”
Alums Hold Offices
There is scarcely a department in L. A. city and county government wiiich does not have near its head an officer trained by the School of Public Administration, Dean Reinifig said.
17th Century Works Topic For Readings
“Seventeenth Century Lyrics” will be the topic of the English reading by Dr. Walter M. Crittenden, at noon today in 335 FH.
Dr. frittendon will read from the works of Thomas Carew, Robert Herrick, Ben Jonson, Richard Lovlace, Andrew Marvel, Sir John Suckling, Edmund Waller, and George Wither.
“Most of the lyrics of the early seventeenth century,” Dr. Crittenden said,” wrere written in the forni of love poems, due to the influence of woman at that time. The Elizabethians, through their writings, had placed women on a pedestal, but the early seventeenth cenutry writers preferred to write about them with a touch of sarcasm.
The noon readings are open to students and the general public.
Political Ads Deadline Set For Candidates
“Some candidates will be left waiting at the polls this week, because they failed to place their political ads in the DT In time,” warned DT Business Manager Bob Eisner Friday.
He emphasized that 4 p.m. today is "the deadline for paid advertising* in Wednesday’s paper, and the same time tomorrow will be the last chance to place an ad in Thursday’s DT.
Popularity Bad Goal, Hawley Tells Y Group
By Darlene Hall
Pride is the pig pen of our emotions, according to Dr. William Hawley, who spoke Friday noon at the YWCA.
Man’s goal of hitting no. 1 spot on the popularity pole is his disaster, because only when man feels himself unworthy of life and in need of divine forgiveness is he acquainted with himself, said Hawley, dean of the University of Chicago School of Divinity.
Man must face himself honestly realizing that there is no hero rising above the tragedies of life, but only a hero who faces life, he said.
“Only by seeing life as it is, by accepting it, and by replacing our personal pride with faithful affections to the Almighty, can man have inward peace.”
“To Be is to Cry,” is the theme of all life he said, because to be in the tragedies of this life, man must either cry in hopeless despair, or cry for guidance from the Father.
