Berkeleyites Unable to Reach Change Decision Students of the Berkeley Campus have been unablc to reach any deci- sion on a proposed change in the academic calendar. The proposed change would mean the fall semester would run from about August 23 to December 20 and the spring term from February 1 to lvlay 20. The proposal would mean that the final examinations would end before Christmas holidays and the spring semester would still start late enough for mid-year high school graduates to cuter the University. ' Advantages Listed According to Stanford A. Mosk, professor of economics, said that the advantages of the new system would be ll elimination of the lame d-wk session after Christmas. 21 fall grades would be known before the spring semester started, 35 fall grades would a formal three-day break for Thanks- giving. 4D travel expenses would be lessened, 5D early graduation gives a better chance to get j0bS, 67 the facultv could use the extra time f01' research, 71 Bookstores would have a better supply of books. Students on the Davis Campus so far have favored the change, Mosk said. This will eliminate student's cutting classes to work before Christ- mas, which is of no educational value, but at the same time finals will be over early enough to work, especially if a student has them all the first week, he said. Students Veto Change At a special ASUC open house students voted 25 to 22 against chang- ing the schedule. Twenty-three 'of the students who voted against the measure were opposed for employ- ment reasons.

' Fight Loyalty Oath Payments Regents of the University of California, ordered last Thurs- day by a Sacramento Superior judge to pay EB29O,291 in back pay and severance demands of 21 professors fired in a loyalty oath controversy, are going to hire an attorney to fight the Order. The regents met on the UCLA campus last Friday and voted to re- tain San Francisco lawyer Eugene Prince. They declined to comment on the Thursday order by judge John Quincy Brown to pay the sum or show reason for not so doing April 8. A special committee headed by regcnt John Francis Neyland was set up to find another attorney if Prince, who has represented the regents on other matters, is unavail- able. The professors were dismissed for failing to sign a loyalty oath and lost two years' pay. A 1952 Supreme Court decision ordered their rein- statement. In other action, the regents ap- proved a policy to set up a retire- ment system granting teaching and top administrative staffs retirement benefits like those now given to other state employees. Ceeiling would be 80 per cent of the average of an em- ployee's three highest paid years. Regent Victor R.

-1 UT r Vol. I Riverside, California, March 11, 1954 No. 4 hese three profound gentlemen are, from L to R, Joe Pitruzzello, Vaughn Blankenship and huck Young. They are UCR's first presidential candidates. RE IDENTIAL CANDIDATES' O Jon PITRUZZELLO V. BLANKENSHHJ CHARLES YoUNc w people realize how lucky we at this time we are able to es- sh good government with con- rules, traditions, and precedents students will be proud to follow r footsteps. e in tum will be proud to call our Alma Mater. believe in establishing these , precedents, and traditions we ld use good judgement and above move slowly. Everyone must cipate. it is possible for us to choose e for the school paper, to have 1 cheers and songs, I am strongly vor. ee no reason, however, why we wait until next semester if the student body, are willing. ove all, if I am elected to office, do my utmost to abide by stu- body wishes and opinions. Experience! Diligence! Imagination! A soda is only as good as the jerk who makes itf' Experience! Hardwork! Imagination! You can put them all in our student government. My platform? To use these ele- ments, if elected, in establishing by- laws, traditions, clubs, social func- tions, for ASUCR. To give everyone an opportunity to express his ideas, to give everyone the job of establish- ing ASUCR, to give effective leader- ship in the direction required. It takes more than buildings to make a college. It takes a group of students and a student body govem- ment. It takes more than being elected to make a student body govemment. It takes experience, imag- ination, and leadership. Vote for Vaughn! That's me. Thatis mc?? Stu- dent body Presidcnt of ASUCR-thatis Vaughn. Tomorrow is election day. I hope that 100'Z1 of the Student Body goes to the polls. During the past few weeks, I have had the good fortune to become fair- ly well acquainted with most of you, and I am convinced that the Student Body of this College is capable of laying the foundations that are need- ed if this organization which we are now founding is to be lasting. I think we will need to move slowly and carefully in the weeks ahead but the final decision will remain with you. The office of President during this formative semester will be one of ex- treme importance in realizing our goal. With your help, I believe that I will be able to help you do the job that must be done. XVhen you vote tomorrow, I hope it will be for. me so 'that together we can achieve our aims. ' ST BALLOTS FROM 8 - 5 ON FRIDAY 1 Candidates Meet To Discuss Plans With Broadbent Leis keep it vigorous but clean, said Dean Broadbent at the meeting of candidates and campaign managers of the forth- coming election. That was the Dean's parting word at the Wednesday, March 3rd meet- ing in his office. A meeting keynoted by high-spirits and friendly coopera- tion. By mutual consent, it was agreed that no candidate was to spend more than five dollars on his or her cam- paign, and that all the political as- pirants would submit a statement of expenses to the Dean of Students. The first order of business was to determine if all the candidates were eligible -to run for office. An exam- ination of the petitions showed that none were ineligible. The following individuals were of- ficially declared as candidates at the meeting: For President of the Student Body were Joe Pitmzzello, Vaughn Blankenship and Charles Young. Running for Vice-President: Bill Cowan, Lorraine Eyer and Bill Kas- sel. Secretarial aspirants are Pat Sparkman and Mabel Fariester, while Peter C. Van Vechten, Bill Anderson and Bud Barton have thrown their hats into the financial ring-treasurers. The meeting lasted for nearly an hour, and was interrupted only by several photographers who had come to the office to take pictures of the presidential candidates for the local press. A post-election party will be held in the Physical Education Bldg. from 7-11 Friday, March 12. All students are invited.
