Commissioner Gives Warning **** **** **** Election Rulings Are Listed To avoid any trouble which may arise in today’s freshman class presidential election because of campaigning at the polls, “Pink” Jones, commissioner, calls attention to article 2, section 5 of the Constitution, which states: "There shall be no campaigning within the limits of the campus at any time preceding the closing of the poll on the day of election. “Campaigning shall be construed to mean any public demonstration calculated to attract the attention of voters to any candidate. “Any infringment of these rules | will disqualify the candidate if af- , ter hearing the facts pertinent to the case, the legislative council shall vote in favor of such disqualification.” For the benefit of freshmen who have never participated in an A. S. U. S. C. election the following instructions have been prepared by Jones: (1) The student body identification card must be displayed before the voter is allowed to cast his ballot. (2) The ballot is to be marked in this fashion: select one candidate of those listed as your preference and mark with an “X”. In no case are two persons to be voted for. Ballots marked twice will be destroyed. (3i There is to be no electioneering within 50 feet of the polls. (5) No placards, posters, flags, pennants or loud speakers or noise-making, attention-attracting devices whatsoever are to be used. To Hear Discourse Today By Maclnnis “Does Science Exclude the Existence of a Personal God?” is the topic Dr. John Maclnnis has chosen for the Westminster club luncheon Monday. Members will gather at 12:15 in the Women’s Residence hall. Dr. Maclnnis is head of the department of religious education of the southern California presbytery, j He has made an intensive study of his subject, and John MacFarland, president of the club, invites all interested students to attend.

Women Managers Of Houses To Be Honored By Deans Sponsored jointly by Dr. Mary Sinclair Crawford, dean of women, and Dr. Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men, a tea for all women managers of student residence houses will be given this af temoon from 3:30 to 5 in the Women’s Residence hall.

The tea is being given in order that the women may become better acquainted with both S.C. campus policies and with each other. Current problems of interest to all managers will be discussed and a round table forum will be held. Trio Concur That the right of eminent domain may be exercised in behalf of any institution which is exempt from taxation under a provision of the constitution w’as pointed out by Justice Scott, pro tem. Justice Stephens and Associate Justice Desmond concurred. “From the very nature of respondent as an educational institution it is apparent that the land here considered will be devoted by It to a high public use” was the finding of the court. The property owmer contended that there is lacking the essential element of the right to use which must be present to qualify a use as public. Lengthy Battle Yesterday’s ruling climaxed a three and one-half year fight ln which the University of Southem California sought to avoid paying the price of $45,000, which Mrs. Robbins demanded for her property. When negotiations were first started to acquire the land, she asked $50.-000. later reducing the price $5,000. The administration once offered 532,500. In upholding the earlier decision. Justices Scott and Stephens and Associate Justice Desmond, concurred with the decision handed down in 1933 by the Superior court jury. The case wras tried then in the court of Superior Judge Guy F. Bush, who had ruled that the institution has a leeal right to condem property needed in its expansion program, according to the law of eminent domain.

Steering Gear Carried Away
First word of the Larry Doheny's danger came at 8:42 ajn. P.S.T., when the President Coolidge heard a distress call, reporting that steering gear of the tanker was being carried away in the storm. The distress call was repeated shortly later, and in a few minutes the craft wirelessed the Olympia.
“You being the only ship answering our call proceed with all possible speed. Will keep in touch with you as long as power holds out.”
The Olympia answered that she was changing her course and “coming to your assistance immediately.”
At 10:29 a.m. P.S.T., the tanker wirelessed: “Going soon. Require all possible help.” A final distress signal was received at 10:42 a.m. P.S. T.—and after that came no further word from the storm besieged ship.
