Vet Representative To Senate Quits
By Joyce Boehm
Stan Dunn, Veterans Representative in the Senate, sub-ftted his formal resignation to ASSC President Bill Van styne yesterday after deciding to le&ve school in order to ce a job in San Francisco as a law secretary for the pre-ling judge in the California Court of Appeals.
A new representative will be chosen at elections at the end of this month.
Campus politicians speculated that Dunn’s resignation would mean the death of the Student Union Party which he was trying to organize.
“I know that you will carry on our common projects—the revision of P.L. 550, the Student Federation of Veterans. Living War Memorial, and the idealism that fostered the idea of the Student Union Party,” Dunn stated in his resignation.
“I don’t think it is advisable for any man to pick a successor," stated Dunn. “The choice should be left entirely up to the Veterans in the election.
Trovets President Bob Ray felt differently. He hoped that Jerry Detwiler, vice president of Trovets, would be among the candidates running.
“Dunn served the Veterans on campus well, and whoever the new representative is, I hope he will* be able to work as hard as Dunn,” Ray stated.
. In addition to his other jobs as representative Dunn wrote a column in the DT titled “Vets Views,” in which he voiced his opinions on such things as the P.L. 550 law. He was for a revision of this law which provides Korean Veterans with schooling onlv in certain schools.

The students chipped in $300 each and bought a surplus subchaser from the Navy. They outfitted it for fishing for sharks since there was then a market for shark livers for tbeir Vitamin A content.
They sailed from San Pedro to the French Marquesas islands. “We found shark fishing a little beyond us,” Moore said, “so we thought we would go to Tahiti for a few laughs.”
The ship was sold in Tahiti to some merchants, who allowed the boys to sail the subchaser to Honolulu with a skeleton crew. Most of the crew flew home.
Jack Douglas produces “I Search for Adventure.” which has proved so popular as a local TV program that it will soon go network.

Twelve Coeds Seek Sig Ep Queen Title

WASHINGTON — The United States has not formally promised the Chinese Nationalists to help defend the Quemoys and Matsu— but it almost certainly would if the Chinese Reds made a serious effort to seize them.
Generalissmo Chiang Kai-shek told a news conference at Taipeh that it has “been made perfectly clear” the United States will defend the off-shore islands. Chiang did not claim to have received a formal commitment.
The assumption here was that a Red assault on the Quemoys or Matsu would require Communist air superiority over the islands to have any chance of success. This could be achieved only by attacking Nationalist airfields on Formosa.
The United States is formally-pledged to defend Formosa. Thus

a Red attack on its airfields would bring American warplanes and ships into the battle under the authority recently granted President Eisenhower by Congress.
In addition, some American authorities feel that abandonment of the Quemoys and Matsu would be a damaging blow to the prestige and morale of the Chinese Nationalists.
American policymakers are letting it be known that they intend to do nothing which could damage Nationalist morale* or be construed as letting Chiang down. Authorities consider the 350.000-man Nationalist army a valuable weapon in the trouble-laden Far East.	^

SC Plans Defense For A-Bomb Attack
In case of an atomic bomb attack on Los Angeles, SCs Civil Defense Steering Committee is prepared to meet the emergency, Dr. Paul Greeley, director of the Student Health Center, announced yesterday.
Dr. Greeley said that air raid warden units have been assigned in case of an emergency, with the Health Center as head unit, but admitted that there is no specific air raid shelter on campus and that no attempt is being made to keep the students informed of what they should do in case of an attack.
He also said that while the 25 or 30 concrete buildings on campus are recommended as shelters they will not be marked as such with signs of the type used j throughout the rest of Los Angeles because “no other schools , seem to be doing it.”	1
Following Paul Coates’ “Confidential File” program on KTTV (channel 11) last Sunday when he interviewed Dr. Wilbert L. Hindman of SCs political science department on the effects of an A-bomb attack on LA., requests have been coming in to the DT for information concerning safety measures at SC in case of an attack.
Dr. Hindman admitted that he knew that SC was only 15 miles from L.A. City Hall, consequently in ground zero, the center of the blaSt.
When asked what he would do if he had word about a bombing, he said he would go to a. basement shelter or the nearest campus building.
“The program did weU to alert people on the problem of an A-bomb drop,” Dr. Hindman commented.	.
