These four made political history yesterday. Sid Smith (top left) dashed valiantly down the aisle as defense attorney for Caroline Everington (top right) who took the stand in her own defense to answer questions concerning her last-minute withdrawal from the vice-presidential candidacy. Bill Quinn (bot-

"down deep in his heart" that he would be unable to handle the position, he asserted.
HOCAN PLATFORM
Quoted verbatim from his acceptance speech made yesterday morning in Bovard auditorium, the following is ihe five-point program of Jim Hogan, sole candidate for the office of presidency of ASUSC;
1—There	is a problem of student activity files for the purpose of placing appointments strictly on the basis of merit.
2—Assemblies	and rallies have always been one of the imponderables for every student officer. I hope lhat next year we can reach unprecedented heights in this field of endeavor. Then, to say the least, there is much work lo be done in the Student Union.
3—The	sludenl forum can be developed.
4—There	is the problem of faculty and sludenl cooperation in social affairs and curriculum.
5—And	last, and most important, the problem of student activity cards and the voting privilege.

Presidential Race Flares Then Dies
What has been heralded as the drabbest presidential campaign in ASUSC history burst yesterday morning into a flame of excitement which leaped and flared brightly until late afternoon, and flickered out last night. ,
Gardiner Pollich, president of the Junior class, was nominated in the morning assembly to oppose Jim Hogan for the presidency, his name being proposed by Sophomore Bill Quinn, after regular nominations from the floor had been closed and after Hogan had made his acceptance speech.
Pollich rejected Quinn's nomina tion, saying that he did not want to be president, that he felt himself unqualified, and that he would support Hagan. A floor motion by Emil Sady to draft Pollich regardless of his own desires was declared by President Norm Johnson to be out of order.
RUMOR CIRCULATES
Shortly efter noon it was rumored about campus that Pollich was being persuaded to reconsider his assembly rejection of the nomination. At 1 o'clock, the potential write-in candidate, had nothing to say on the matter.
Yielding to pressure, however, Pollich announced at 2:30 p.m. that he would declare himself a candidate, and requested public announcement of his decision.
For three hours, the student body apparently had the ohoice of two presidential candidate*. At 5:30 p.m. however, Pollich dropped out of the race.
“Thi* decision is final.” he emphasized. “X will no longer consider
running.”
PLATFORM ANNOUNCED
In accepting his assembly nomination by Howard Patrick, Hogan set forth a 5-point platform on which he hopes to attain office.
Hogan was described by Nominator Patrick as “pleasing, amiable, and efficient.” His record, as proof of executive ability, was also mentioned.
First nominator for the office of secretary was Willis Stanley, senate member from the College of Engineering, who placed the name of Vlrgliud Holbrook before the assembly. He told of his candidate's record as present office secretary to President Johnson, and said that on this record she de*erves the of-
