Barker promised that tonight's rally will be topped off with "a monstrous kindling event.” He added that a certain Westwood coach “will be hung in effigy."
"Other schools have successful night rallies.
“Since SC is the best of them all, Troy is sore to have the world's biggest and bestest night rally,” Barker cried.
"Holding the rally on the Row was planned so it would not interfere with night school. It is not a Row-sponsored affair, and all students are welcome to take part,’ he added.
In addition to this evening’s entertainment, two more rallies are on deck for tomorrow.
Squires Hold Rally
The Squires will hold a noon rally in front of Tommy Trojan.
The organization said Red Sanders and the Westwood Homecoming Queen will be there, along with Hardiman Cureton,

Dr. C. Beadle Will Present Genetics Talk
One of the world's most eminent biologists, Dr. George W. Beadle, will give his views on the controversial subject of heredity tomorrow noon in 252 Science Hall.
Dr. Beadle, chairman of the biology division at Cal Tech, will center his lecture around the age-old mystery of "What Is a Gene?”
An article on the same subject recently appeared in the American Institute of Biological Science Bulletin. He has spent considerable time in recent years on research on the transmission of hereditary traits through genes.
Dr. Beadle is current president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1953 he was awarded the Emil Christian Ilansen Prize, Denmark's award, to the WorUl s outstanding scientist of the year.
In 1950 the illustrious scientist received the American Public Health Association’s Lasker Award, and the following year he was recipient of Ihe Dyer Lectureship Award for outstanding contributions to science.
Dr. Beadle and his associates have done extensive research to prove that the genes themselves Kenyon College.

West Depicted
Ono of the highlights is a series of three stylized sun-drenched scenes of Bryce Canyon by Edgar Ewing, associate professor of fine | arts. Executed in oils, the orange toned canvasses depict Western vitality.
"Fifteen Pieces of Silver" is one of the paintings by Francis de Erdely, professor of fine arts.
Winner of 36 prizes in American exhibitions, de Erdely displays his forceful style in an autumnal toned still-life and two life drawings done in crayon. His work is subtle in quality and stresses form as well as design.
Raw and Prlinlti\-e
Raw, primitive paintings splashed with primary colors are outstanding features of the work of Keith Crown, associate professor of fine arts. His paintings are impressions of the Hermosa Beach area.
Canvasses by these painters and other artists were hung by Curtis Opliger, administrative assistant, in the upstairs gallery. This annual show is under his direction and participated in by all members of the fine arts faculty.
Wire sculpture and “plastio-metal” works are exhibited by Stephen Zakian, University College instructor in sculpture. Modeled from steel and bits of stained glass Zaklan's collection illustrates human forms and abstractions.
Plll*tlc Arts Represented
Representing the plastic arts, Susan Peterson, associate professor of ceramics, is displaying a group of ceramic works in simple line and tone.
Among the other works are prints, water-colors, and pen and ink designs. Outstanding among the woodcuts is "Monday Morning," a print In green and black by Dr. Jules Heller, associate professor of fine arts.
“This exhibition reveals the constant preoccupation of the art faculty with visual experimentation,” said Vincent Lanier, assistant professor of fine arts. "The most successful experimentations deal with the impact of color and form.”
Desert Animals Water Source Lecture Topic
The inside story on why desert mammals don't need any drinking water will lie told hy Ormond Mitchell, graduate student, at a biology seminar in 252 Science at 4:15 p. m. today.
Speaking on “Adaptations of Desert Mammals,” Mitchell will explain how animals get their water supply from seeds and plant material.
Mitchell will reveal survival and reproduction secrets of such southern California citizens as kangaroo rats and grasshoppers, and deer mice.
He will describe the behavior patterns of these animals and Iheir adjustment to desert life by lounging underground during the day to avoid inclement weather conditions and surfacing at nighttime.
Mitchell will also discuss the world-wide distribution of mammals and how the various species adapt themselves to their individual environments.

posal that the buying of senior class activity cards l>e compulsory.
Robertson pointed oul before presenting his resolution that the proposal would still have to be ! approved by the administration ! and possibly by the Board of Trustees. The Senate's vote reflected j the student body’s opinion on this j issue.
The proposal was assailed by Senator-at-Large Carl Terzian and other senators as being "morally wrong, even though legally right, to force a student to pay the $3 senior fee during registration.”
Force Students
“You can’t force students to participate in something they do not want to,” Terzian argued.
Rolicrtson met further opposition from Geoffrey Englund and International Relations President Marguerite Cooper.
Englund said that a similar attempt was made Itefore in 1949 and the Senate “was horrified” at the request.
"That Senate said nothing but the health fee ever could be made compulsory,” he said.
Miss Cooper said 35 per cent of the male population on campus is married and "not willing to pay for something it is unable to participate in.”
Answers Comment
In answer to Miss Cooper’s comment, Robertson said that the fee W'ould not affect most married students for three reasons:
1.	The fee would only be charged to day students.
2.	Only students carrying eight or more units would be required to pay the fee.
3.	Students in the professional schools would not be made to pay the fee.
“Few married men students attend day school, especially not carrying eight or more units,” Robertson went on to clarify.
The plan calls for a reduction In the fee from $3.50 as last year to $3. The fee Includes admission to the prom, the senior ditch, senior breakfast, Alumni membership, the senior gift to the university and baccalaureate and reception.
Stimulate Participation
Participation by independent students would be stimulated by the compulsory fee, Independent Men's Representative Greg Taylor said.
In other action, the Senate passed a resolution showing its backing of the Trojan football team and Coaeh Jess Hill. Under the motion, ASSC President Jerry McMahon was directed to send, in the name of the Senate, telegrams of liest wishes to the team and coaches before the UCLA and Notre Dame games.

ASSC Senate
Delays Action On Magazine
By Jerry Burns
Action on whether Wampus humor magazine should be sanctioned by the university was temporarily suspended hy the ASSC Senate last night after Senator* at-I.arge Judy Green moved to reconsider previous action by the legislative body.
Senators will vote at the next Senate meeting in two weeks to reconsider their denial of university sanction after a vehement attack on Wampus by AMS President Bob Gerst.
Parliamentarian Joe Cerrell said action was suspended because of “hasty action” and "insufficient debate.”
"Cheap, vulgar trash ... at best a sex magazine, at worst I wouldn't evvn say . . . low and poorly put together” were some of Gerst's remarks about Wampus.
Small Attempt “It Is a small attempt to come up to the standards we expect,” he said.
The AMS president was met by pro-Wampus arguments from three sides.
Dave Gershenson, chairman of the Board of Publications, who made the motion for university sanction of th? humor magazine, claimed that its only purpose is “the entertainment of the students,” and not, as Gerst had stated, to represent SC to outsiders and parents. Gershenson said that putting Wampus under university sanction would do “what Mr. Gerst wants—clean it up.”
In response to charges by Gerst that Wampus would give parents wrong ideas aliout SC and that he “knows parents who have complained,” IR President Marguerite Cooper replied that she “w'ouldn't even take home 'Psychology of Sex’ by Havelock Ellis. Our humor is no lower than any other school’s.”
Sanction Hacked University sanction was also backed by Burton Zipser, School of Religion president, who sa'd that Diener "Is attempting to measure up to SC standards by trying to get university sanction.” The sanction, defeated 15 to 12, with 2 abstentions, would have permitted the magazine to have an office on campus, a telephone, a mailing address, and privileges granted other SC publications. One of the most important of these privileges would have been the right lo sell Wampus in campus buildings, something which is not now allowed.

Humanitarian Reasons Explain Dutch Position in New Guinea, Visitor Says
The “hard-to-explain” position of the Netherlands’ administration of West New Guinea ls largely based on humanitarian reasons, a counselor with the Netherlands Embassy, said yesterday.
The Dutch representative, Dr. H J. Friedericy, spoke to more than 100 students when
he discussed "Netherlands New Guinea and the Old Colonialism.” Friedericy has served as a member of the Netherlands delegation to the United Nations and as chief advisor on Indonisian affairs for the Netherlands Information Service.
Explain* Cause Why should the Dutch want to maintain control of an undeveloped island whose people are "a stone age holdover in the development of man?”
"It’s very curious and hard to understand,” explaitA-d Friedericy, "and nobody can understand why we want to help somebody else.” This humanitarian interest can lie traced to many religious and liberal elements in Holland that want to help underprivileged people achieve self-government, said Friedericy.
Shows Importance Security-wise, the island of New Guinea 16 of strategic importance to the allies of Holland and the free nations. “It is an enormous protective barrier for Australia This was clearly indicated during Worid War II whep the Japanese got stranded on the island and had to give up an intended invasion of Australia.”
Will the Dutch realize much profit by exploiting the economic resource* of the island? Friedericy sau. no. “The economic value
of the country is still unknown It doesn't look too promising. The island has oil and nickie, but not much Hut enormous supplies of timber exist.”
Challenges Rule
New Guinea has received worldwide attention recently because the Republic of Indonesia has challenged the Dutch administration of the island. The Republic asserts that the territory belongs to them and that the Netherlands government has no legal right to govern it "They think the island belongs to them," said Friedericy.
"However, tfle Republic doesn't have a leg to stand on,” explained Friedericy. "Our administration of the island is in keeping with the letter and spirit of the United Nations Charter."
Currently, the status of the ter-ritoi, is on the agenda ot the Gen-
eral Assembly of the United Nations "Within a year a decision will lie made to determine who governs the island, the Netherlands or Indonesia," said Friedericy.
Answer* Queries
"Why did your country start a war with Indonesia?” one student asked. Friedericy replied, "We did not start a war with Indonesia, they started a war with us .”
Another student questioned, “What assurance do we have that
your country will eventually give West New Guinea its freedom?”
Answering this question, Friedericy said “We have already given two country* freedom to decide their own future. It would I be stupid for us not to extend the | same right to Netherlands New j Guinea The Dutch are through with the old Colonialism.”	1

putting into operation a plan whereby the college papers would act as advisors to them.
“We intend to use the colleges as a stratified Gallop poll!" Keene j said.
The editors will also be told of a new "continuous course" now in effect at San Diego State. This program will be brought to SC I and UCLA before the end of the month.
| The program, which is under the auspices of the Joint College Federal Service Council, is open to all recent graduates now employed by government or lnaus-Iry.
"The purpose of the plan is to give graduates a chance to get started on the right foot,” Keene said.
“We also want to encourage them to continue on to study in the graduate fields,” he added. In general we hope "to help them find their niche," Keene concluded
The plan has been in operation at San Diego State for more than a month. Out of 200 original applicants, 15 were selected to pursue the program. The city manager, federal administrators, the faculty of San Diego State College. and industrial leaders art cooperating in tiie program.
