New Voting Method Passed by One Vote; Arrangements Started
Voting hesitantly, senate members last night approved .the use of voting machines in the coming political contest and instructed the election commissioner to negotiate for transportation and installation of the machines.
Following a short discussion as to whether or not the devices “serve their purpose of preventing dishonesty,” the senate accepted the balloting machines by the narrow margin of one vote.
Only four machines will be used, although seven polling stations will be set up. Installation of machines in the dental clinic, dental technical building, and College of Engineering ls not practicable, members decided.
Marvin Shapiro, election commissioner, declared the voting machines were not advisable because
Warning students that absolutely no petitions will be accepted after 3 p.m. today, Marvin Shapiro, elections commissioner, yesterday stated that “only a few students have petitioned for offices so far.”
An important meeting of prospective candidates or their representatives will be held at 4 p.m. today in 235 Student Union to discuss election rules.
of their size anc expense of operation.
Shapiro pointed out that regular ballots would have to be printed as well as special cards for the machines, that transportation must be provided, and that two mechanics would have to be hired at a cost of $10 a day.
The machines were accepted after members had argued that their use aids in tabulation of final election results.
Reporting for the all-U show committee. Morton Block told the group that the administration had approved a tentative selection of the Shrine auditorium for production of “The American Way.” The matter will be presented to the faculty welfare committee for approval.
Tryouts for the play. Block said, will be held Monday and Tuesday from 3 to 5 p.m. in Touchstone theater.
An application of the School of Education to enable its candidates to appear on the ASSC ballot was referred to the faculty committee on organization.

Discusses
Minerals
Geologist to Analyze U.S. Needs Today in 159 Science
Strategic minerals help to build defense products, which in turn attempt to provide security. Thus do minerals form a vital part in the life and safety of a nation, although not many persons realize the fact.
This point was made by Dr. Ben Markham Page, assistant professor of geology, when he outlined the talk he will give today on “Strategic Minerals.” The SC educator will appear on the Wednesday lecture series program from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in 159 Science. ‘STRATEGIC’ DEFINED Dr. Page defined “strategic minerals” as “those which are necessary to the United States during war time but of which the nation has insufficient domestic supplies.” He pointed out that, contrary to the belief that the United States is adequately supplied with these minerals, much of the mineral forming the basis of defense production must be imported.
“The United States has better natural resources than any other one country,” he observed, “but she comes far short of having enough. Sufficient attention has not been paid to the importance of ‘strategic minerals’—only now are they beginning to gain the recognition they warrant.”
MONEY SET ASIDE Dr. Page said that the government is appropriating money for the accumulation of stock piles of these materials. Emphasizing the importance of this practice, he declared :
‘‘If we should become involved in war we might go through a lag during which we could not Import minerals. The accumulation of sufficient stock plies would help carry us through such a period.”
The geologist pointed out that California Is Important as a source of tungsten, used for hardening steel for machine tools. CALIFORNIA METALS “This state has also had a long and colorful career in the mining of mercury, in which she leads all other states,” he added. Mercury goes Into detonators, which serve to make shells explode. Califomia is an important source of manganese as well.
Dr. Page forecast that the future supply of minerals for the nation depends much upon friendly relations between the United States, Canada, South America, and Mexico.
In his talk today Dr. Page will define minerals and their geological compositions.

Employment Bureau Requests Applications
Jugoslavians Mass Against Germany
ISTANBUL. March 19 — «*.P> — Diplomatic sources said today that Jugoslavia was massing troops along a southeastern defense line paralleling the Bulgarian frontier to resist any German thrust from that newly-occupied neighboring state.
Because of the out-of-date cards in the employment files and the number of nsw jobs that are now open for students, John R. Haile, director of the bureau, requested yesterday that students who want jobs come in and resurrect their application from the dead file.
Some of the applications date back to 1938. and many of the students have dropped out of school, graduated, and some have been drafted. It is necessary that this “dead wood’’ is eliminated from the files, so that students can be called for desired work.
Cards have been distributed to the employers throughout the southwest in order to place students in part-time and full-time jobs. Civil service Jobs are also numerous at the present time, and students are desired to fill these positions.
Unfilled jobs are listed in “The Job Hunter” on the second page of the Daily Trojan.
Students desiring work should go to the office of employment and find their old card or make out new ones. They should indicate the types of work for which they are qualified, and the days and hours on which they are available.

Lawyers Base Trials on Ellery Queen Story
In an effort to develop a case composed of nothing but circumstantial evidence, Ellery Queen’s ‘‘French Powder Mystery” will serve as a basis for the law school mock trial scheduled for today and March 26.
Never before have the students of the law school attempted to solve a case composed only of circumstantial evidence, and this one will, no doubt prove of great interest, according to Prof. Stanley Howell under whose direction the trials are given.
The mock trials are held each semester with every member of the senior class participating in some part. Each student is paired with another for his trial. Outstanding municipal and superior court judges, acting as the Judges, make the trials as close to real trials as possible.
In the “French Powder Mystery,” the case of People vs. Crouther,
the judge for the trial will be Gwyn S. Redwine, prominent Los Angeles attorney. Counsel for the prosecution is composed of Howard C. Bonsall, district attorney, and Warren McCarthy and Hal Halter, deputies. Counsel for the defense will be Fred Hall, chief counsel, Neil D. McCarthy and Robert Van Buskirk, associates.
The “French Powder Mystery” has an interesting story background, according to Professor Howell Cyrus French Is the owner and manager of the famous French department store located at Seventh and Broadway, Los Angeles. While the manager is demonstrating a folding bed in a show window of his store, the body of Mrs. Winifred Marchbanks French, his wife, falls to the floor. She has been murdered.
