Debate Squad s First Meeting Set for Today
The debate squad will hold its first meeting today at 2:30 in 203 Speech B. All students signed up for debate and those who are interested in debate will be given orientation material and a schedule of the season’s tournaments.
According to Prof. Alan Nichols, debate squad coach, debate is excellent training for any student who plans to enter the field of education, law, ministry, or politics. It develops the poise and persuasive ability necessary for leadership.
“SCs debate squad has always been well known on the West Coast. In past years it has won well over 70 per cent of all its debates. In fact, it has been so successful that it is reputed by some to be the ‘Oxford of the Western Hemisphere,’ ” stated Murray Bring, this year's debate captain.
The discussion questions, which will first be discussed Oct. 29 at San Diego State, are -“Resolved, that the United States should extend diplomatic recognition to the Communist Government of China,” and “How can education best meet the needs of our so-i ciety?”

“The freshmen have pulled through with candidates for class president and vice president, but the School of Music chair is still empty,” Miss Dobkin said.
“So far we haven’t had a single applicant for this office,” Miss Dobkin said. “Candidates for all offices can still sign up today in the ASSC office, 215 SU, but today is their last chance.”
Miss Dobkin’s plea yesterday for more candidates to run for freshman class offices was answered when petitions were filed by Dann Angeloff and Ernie T. Pope for the presidency, and by Virginia Burton and Mary Lou | Jost for the vice presidency.
Until yesterday, the lone candidate signed up for the freshman election was Sue Butcher, also running for the office of vice president.
Mrs. Dobkin emphasized that candidates for all offices must be
“I want gogetters, not keyget-ters.”
LAS President Jim Barber made this statement yesterday when he urged all students enrolled in the college of Letters, Arts, and Sciences to apply for LAS council.
Application forms may be picked up in the new LAS office, 206 Bovard, or in the ASSC office, 215 SU.
Barbar said that interviews will be held today from 1:15 to 4:15 in the Bovard office.
“If the response is as great as I expect, today will be the last day of interviews,” he said.
Many Activities
Barbar outlined several activities that are planned for the council.
“We want to sef up a system for the recognition of scholarship j by the students. There are awards ; for activities and athletics, but j'nothing to give any initiative for ! scholarship,” he said.

Slogan Battle Trickles On
Only nine slogans were turned into the Homecoming Slogan Contest ballot box yesterday, and five of the slogans were turned in by the same person, said Ron Weintraub, chairman of the contest.
“This really let us down,” Weintraub said. “We thought we’d have a much larger turnout.”
Two tickets to the UCLA game and free passes to all Homecoming events will be among the prizes slated for the winner of this year’s contest.
The contest began Tuesday and will run through Oct. 11. Entries must be turned into 215 j SU or dropped in the ballot box in the Grill.

LAS departments,” he said.
Advisement Series
He added that the deans list for high scholarship would be reactivated.
Another important phase of LAS council activities, according to Barber, is the LAS advisement series.
“Due to the poor attendance in past years, we hope to put the advisement talks under the sponsorship of each department. The department would choose its own speaker, and would bolster the talks during class meetings,” he said.
Animal Life Cycle To Be Discussed

SC JOINS NATIONAL GROUP OF STUDENTS
Funds Must Be Obtained First,
Senate Names Rally to Spark Transportation,
Parking Group
ASSC Senators last night created a special Committee on Public Transportation and Parking. The immediate job of the new committee will be to represent SC students, who use public transportation, at the hearings on raising student rates later this week.
The committee will also investigate possible methods of alleviating the student parking problem and report to the Senate by the end of this semester.
Members of the committee are Bob Croutch, independent men's representative; Bob Gerst and Cammie King, senators-at-large; Fred Fagg III, Greater-University Committee chairman; and Bob Smith, School of Architecture president.
Croutch introduced the resolution which created the committee and instructed it to “establish immediate relations with the major public transportation companies and the local public utilities commission” to act in SC students’ behalf in the matter of the proposed fare hike.
The new committee met immediately following the Senate meeting and elected Croutch chairman.
Two constitutional amendments were approved by the Senate to be submitted at the Oct. 6-7 election. One proposed amendment requires all voting and non-voting senators to maintain a non-ac-cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and carry a minimum of 12 units during the term in which they are elected and during their tenure of office.
The other proposed amendment makes graduate as well as undergraduate students eligible for the office of foreign students representative. Davlat Masuaa, who now holds that position, said that more than half of the international students on campus are graduate students and many of the undergraduaes have considerable trouble with the English language. The proposal also states that a graduate student in this position need not carry more than eight units.
The Senate aiso gave the elections commission the duty of approving and recognizing campus political parties for %use of University facilities.

Daves urges all students who do not have scheduled classes at this time to attend the pep rally.

expenses of delegates to regional and national conventions.
The Board of Financial Control will consider possible methods of financing membership and report to the Senate within a month.
The action approved by the Senate in a 25-3 vote was recommended by a report by ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne and Senator-at-large Murray Bring, who attended this summer’s NSA national meeting as observers from SC.
The advisability of joining NSA has been an annual discussion topic on the Senate for many years, but this is the most definite action taken on it within the last five years.
In describing the activities of | NSA, Bring reported that its nonpolitical lobby in Washington was largely responsible for the recent tax relief granted to college stu-| dents.
NSA's Washington representative also helped convince Congress that the Fullbright Scholarship ; program should not be cut in half, he said.
“One tangible benefit NSA pro-i vides is a student discount serv-: ice for. member schools,” Bring stated. “This means that students | will receive a special price from local theaters and merchants.”
Bring stressed the importance of NSA help in solving school problems. This is done through discussion at the national con-j vention, and by contact with other schools through the NSA Information Bureau. NSA also dis-1 tributes literature dealing with

A special benefit of membership to the more than 600 foreign students at SC is NSA’s extensive international student program. Exchange programs are carried on with other countries, and tours of the U.S. are provided. Bring reported.
“The most valuable attributes of NSA membership are its educational aspects,” Bring said. “NSA member schools can attain a sense of community with other universities. They help formulate student policies and opinions which are respected in the country’s educational circles.”
The importance of NSA was recognized by both President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon, who sent greetings to the 700 delegates representing 250 universities at the national convention in Ames, Iowa. Bring said.
