Interfraternity Council Elects New Officers
Hoover Chosen Head with Levine, Conrad, Noll as Assistants
Daltons' Carry Undersized Car Into Gymnasium.
It’s practically uncanny the way these undersized automobiles do get around.
Yesterday afternoon an Austin, year unknown, license number 89V530, wandered into the Physical Education building and parked moodily before the NROTC office waiting for its owner to claim it.
A cryptic* sign under the windshield wiper claimed that “Dalton did it,” but there is a suspicion on the part of informed circles that a number of “Dalton’s”’ coaxed the erring auto into the corridor.
Here a hasty examination proved the junior car undersized and its condition somewhat under par for enlistment. So the Austin sulked there, weeping quietly out of its radiator.
Shortly after 2 p.m., the little automobile was consoled by the reformed “Daltons” and led out to the street once more. No lasting effects were suffered by the Austin as a result of this experience, but it is doubtful if the car will ever confess its adventure to Owner Doug Baxter.

School of Law Holds Election Amid Protests
Buck, Dudleigh, Wilde, Roark Chosen to Lead Students
“Its prima faci, its unconstiu-tional, its corpus delecti . .
Amid the screeching protests of dozens of la# students, the results of yesterday’s annual election for law school student body officers were tabulated and made public.
Out of the showers of protest that at times reached proportions of a near riot, offices of president', vice-president, and editor of the El Rodeo section were decided.
BUCK GETS PRESIDENCY
Robert Buck is the new president of the student body by virtue of a 10-vote majority over Donald Dunbar and Rose Mary Moore who tied for second place with 54 votes each.
The office of vice-president went to Karma Dudleigh by a landslide, 123 votes against 5 for the nearest opponent. A total of 15 ballots were cast against the new vice-president.
With a majority of five votes, George Wilde led write-in candidate, Norman Watkins, for editorship of the law school section of Tl Rodeo. Votes cast! were 77 to 72.
ELECTION DISPUTED
The office of secretary-treasurer proved to be the cause of the near riot and multi-protesting by the assembled students.
Write-in candidate, Glenn Correa who was nominated from the floor in the nominating assembly, polled 73 out of 146 votes made for the office to split top position with Joseph Roark.
Correa’s nomination was officially dropped by the committee of elections before the opening of the polls when it was discovered that his grade point average was below the required 1.5.

Roysher Wins Special Award
Prof. Hudson B. Roysher of the College of Architecture and Fine Arts has been given the “Special Award for Continued Excellence” by the Cleveland Museum of Art for winning his fifth consecutive first place in the field of hand-wrought silver. The honor was granted at the current opening show of the museum.
His pieces included a 6-foot processional cross, two tea sets, and a chalice. The three other artists to receive the award, con-s’dered the highest given by the museum, have been H. Edward Winter and Kenneth L. Bates, enamelists, and Russel Barnett Aiken, ceramic sculpturist.
Formerly head of the industrial design department at the University of Illinois, Professor Roysher has also had exhibits at the Boston society of arts and crafts.
PRESS ACCUSES ROOSEVELT
He added that, without this United States aid. the war would have been ended long ago.
The rest of the press meanwhile accused Mr. Roosevelt of “personal methods characterizing the worst kind of dictatorship” and laid the United States must react at once against his policies or be driven into war.
“The attitude of the Washington government toward Italy, Germany, Japan, Hungary, Bulgaria, Rumania, Slovakia, and Croatia is the attitude of an enemy and merits being treated as such,’’ Appelius wrote.
“The axis never nourished hatred against the United States and its people. The axis now feels that the Washington government is a 100 per cent enemy motivated by the blackest intentions.”
Annual Brawl Scheduled for Bovand Field; Unnamed Freshman Queen to Reign Over Event
Freshmen will struggle against tradition today in an effort to wrest the gold dink from the sophomore class in the annual brawl on Bovard field at 4 p.m. Since 1937, no freshman class has gained possession of the dink.
Reigning over the clash will be the freshman queen. Her identity will be revealed at the start of the ceremonies. The queen and her two attendants will be chosen from the following:
CANDIDATES LISTED Joan Mclnnis, Delta Gamma: Virginia Koster. Kappa Alpha Theta; Clarinda Boone. Gamma Phi Beta; Mary Rose Callicot, Pi Beta Phi; Carol Morrison. Alpha Chi Omega; Nancy Nervig. Delta Delta Delta; Jacquie Williams, Alpha Gamma Delta; and Ruth Randle, Kappa Delta.

Winner of these events will gain possession of the gold dink, now in the temporary possession of the Junior class PRIZE STOLEN
Last year during the fray, someone made away with the prize causing quite a furor. Naye boasted, after accepting the freshman challenge, that he was the light-fingered lad who stole the dink.
Engraved on the base of the dink are the names of four former class winners. Only the first, 1937, is awarded to the freshman class.
Okayed by Dr. Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men, the field day will be Judged and policed by the Knights.

Long Gives Reaction to Wellesley Editorial
Expressing his belief that we are governed by “cosmic anaesthesia” and completely cut off from "methaphysical consciousness,” Dr. Wilbur Long, professor of philosophy gave his reaction to an editorial on education, appearing in the Daily Trojan yesterday.
The editorial, taken from the Wellesley college News, declared that students today do not take full advantage of opportunities in school to study such a subject as philosophy.
“How many informal groups are there for the discussion of Plato, of Renaissance art?” the editorial asked.
FINEST “PLANT”
Dr. Long said he could see no reason why such topics should not stimulate the interest of students He believed that, particularly at SC, with “thc finest philosopnv plant in the world.” such an interest ls given an excellent opportunity.
The philosopher admitted that in times of crisis with much emphasis on action, those things which are immediately appealing attract the first attention.
“Curiously, philosophy has flour-
ished during the Peloponesian war,” Dr. Long said.
And from 400 to 21 B.C.—the age of warring states—China saw a period with great' emphasis on philosophy, he added.
CONDITIONS OF INTEREST
Interest in philosophy will prevail only under the following conditions, Dr. Long believes:
1.	That it har something significant to say.
2.	When people are genuinely serious about the problems of life.
“One reason why philosophy has lost significance in many cultural institutions is the fact that there has been an enormous increase in college enrollment.” And this in turn, the philosopher thought, had called forth a popular demand which reflects the mind of the broad masses.
Dr. Long juggested that our educational level today corresponds to tfiat of the age of Potagoras, who lived 450 B.C.
This Greek pedagogue was the «nost popular teacher Greece ever produced. He proposed the study of practical subjects rather than theoretical ones, the philosopher explained.
Miss Anita Browne, director of the national poetry center, has announced a nationwide college poetry contest open to undergraduate students. The closing date has been announced as the end of the National Poetry week, May 30. and the awards will be announced and presented on National Author’s day, November 1.
A prize of $10 and a medal will be given for the winning entry and j four additional awards of medals and three of books will be given for poems submitted by undergraduate students.
The poems may be in any form and on any subject but must be original and unpublished except in college publications. They should not exceed 30 lines. Only one poem may be submitted by any one student.
