Cabinet Plan After experimenting for this semester with a bi-cabinet sys¬ tem, a committee has been ap¬ pointed to suggest other ways of gaining student government unity. Marian Moser and Roy Shaw are devising a pyramid system, in which there would be one much smaller cabinet, with each office having several large divisions. Atom Bomb, Peace Controls Debated Today The Atomic Bomb, its possibili¬ ties for peacetime and its control, and the subject of “How to Pre¬ vent War,” were the topics for discussion at this morning’s as¬ sembly. Sponsored by X-ANM, the ex-servicemen and women’s organization on campus, and in¬ troduced by Oliver Duffy, the show planned and presented by Dr. M. W. de Laubenfels, preced¬ ed to present a film showing the first atomic bomb explosion. Following the film a discussion led by Dr. Richard Noyes of Cal¬ tech, President of the Pasadena Scientists, was held on the subject of the bomb’s destructive powers and why it should be controlled by the United Nations. What might happen if the Atomic Bomb should be used by some enemy nation was also discussed. The second half of the assem¬ bly period was devoted to the more optimistic side of the pre¬ vention of war and the control of the Atomic Bomb. In a talk given by Dr. de Laubenfels of the science department here at PJC, the tremendous power of the A- tomic Bomb for peaceful indus¬ tries was discussed. Along with this talk still pictures illustrating the subject were shown. According to Dr. de Laubenfels the assembly should be well re¬ ceived as this topic has been at other such gatherings. Although along a more serious note, the subject of the Atomic Bomb is an ever-present question and the peoples of the United Nations should be well aware of all its possibilities for use in peace time and in the advent of future war. Stu U Chang es Taken to Council At a principal’s council meeting on April 1, Don Logan student body president, and Mr. J. Ray Risser, adviser for student body government, will explain the pro¬ posed changes in the plans for the new Student Union. The petitioned changes, which were passed by the Board of rep¬ resentatives at the March 22 meet¬ ing, have been approved by Dr. John Harbeson, principal. The re¬ visions will make fewer, but larg¬ er rooms out of several of the student body offices. As the plans now stand, there are to be two floors; the first floor will house a cafeteria, which will relieve the problem of crowd¬ ed eating on campus. The sec¬ ond floor will include a large bal¬ cony, lounges and 12 to 14 stu¬ dent body rooms, such as a board and cabinet meeting and work room, a court room with a jury and judges chamber, and the stu¬ dent body president’s office. If no additional restrictions a- rise, work will begin on the long- awaited building in July. It will be located directly west of the Life Science Building, where there is now a faculty parking lot. The plans for the student union, and other campus enlargements, have been drawn by architects Robert and Cyril Bennett.
