Although it has not as yet been officially released. I, as a nator, ought to be able to tell you that Bill Caldwell nosed out .Tack Williams by less than a dozen votes to win the hotly contested post of student body president. This is a reversal of the previous election which was declared null and void because of fraudulent practices. All other offices remained ‘n the same hands as before. Now there are rumors that Caldwell’s election will be disputed. Apparently we senators are meeting tonight for the urpose of more than just reviewing this election. Why hasn’t nyone officially released the “secret” results that have been apidly leaking out since Friday night? As a senator, I have been asked by many students what he results were and why weren’t they being released. I could ind no answer for them. All I could say was that students ould not know the results until the senate had certified or efused to certify the election. But if an important controversy arises tonight over this lection, how am I to represent the wishes and interests of y constituents if they do not know what the score is? I said before that there are rumors that Caldwell’s elec-ion will be disputed. Do you ask how this can be so after hi:* has apparently been an honest election? I will tell you.

Sixty-eight of the axis planes were Junkers 52 transports destroyed in blazing battles over the Sicilian channel and reliable reports from Cairo said the transports “appeared to be carrying troops.” Regardless of who or what was aboard, the allies dealt a major biow to axis air strength yesterday in shooting down 74 planes including 58 transports in one fierce engagement, one of the greatest ever fought. Ten more Jankers transports and one escort fighter were shot down over the channel today while the remainder of the 96 enemy planes were accounted for in other operations Sunday. (The London Daily Mail said in a Cairo dispatch that it was believed at least 1000 key officers and men of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel’s desert army perished when a Sicily-bound Junkers convoy was smashed.) It was officially announced that the axis lost 159 transports from Apr. 5 through 10 a.m. today. The Sicilian narrows victory was the work of the western desert air force—P-40 Warhawk fighters flown by Americans, Britons, and South Africans and RAF-piloted Spitfires—which had been winging on constant patrols for just such an opportunity. Sunday it came. A great aerial convoy of more than 100 Junkers 52 transports and fighter planes swept out of the Tunis area in a low, lumbering flight.

On the platform with the featured speaker, President von KleinSmid, and Bob McKay, will be Dean Francis Bacon, Dean Helen Hall Moreland, and Hugh C. Willett. Official vote results remain big question Official lips were still closed yesterday regarding Friday’s election, and the certified results of yesterday’s re-count will not be made known until tonight when the student senate meets to decide whether or not to sanction the ASSC revote as it stands. The senate will be faced with a number of problems that have as yet defied all attempted solutions and have made it seem advisable to withhold the election tabulations until there has been opportunity for further Presidentt speaks May 1 “Universities in the Postwar World” will be the subject of Dr Rufus B. von KleinSmid, president of the university, when he speaks at the spring meeting of the Western College association May 1 at UCLA.

DeMille preps Tovarich' cast For the love of the theater “Tovarich” cast members are denouncing their Easter vacation to put the finishing touches on the play production to be presented Apr. 29 in Bovard auditorium. Director William DeMille is polishing off a few actors for the dueling scene with “en garde,” thrusts, retreats, and general fencing techniques in the dramatic inner sanctum of Old College. Talk of rehearsal advancement is forbidden material for a Daily Trojan reporter since Professor DeMille believes that pre-presentation criticism makes the actors self-conscious and restrained. However, the romantic humorous plot of “Tovarich" is rich material for such actors as Phyllis Perry, Paul Board-man, and Jim George who play the leads, and Bebe Blake and Frank Christi who enact the juvenile roles. Ed Kelly, Bill Chapman, Florence Wagner, Grace Dicksir, Geraldine Carlson, Claire Laub, and Ritchie Gregory play supporting parts. “Tovarich,” a three-act, three-set play, will play to a limited audience for five nights beginning Apr. 29.

Relief confab held Official spokesmen at the opening session of the Anglo-American refugee conference said yesterday that an adequate solution to the problem of providing relief for the racial, religious, and political victims of nazi prosecution will have to await a united nations victory in Europe.

McNutt said yesterday that provisions of his job-control program permitting workers in essential industries to switch to higher-paid jobs if the transfer furthers the war effort, will be extended soon to areas where employment stabilization plans are not in effect. Dean Tiegs' new assistant named Mrs. Florence Pollman has been appointed to the office of assistant to Dean Ernest W. Tiegs in University college, a position held formerly by Miss Nellie Parr, who recently resigned because of ill health.

AU three newly-elected officers are non-orgs. Rawlings is from the College of Commerce, and Kirst and Holt are students at the University Junior college. Members of the sophomore service organization are chosen for their outstanding service during their freshman year and must have a one-point cumulative grade average. As Squires they officiate during football games, assemblies, and other university activities. W Asiatics hear Chinese consul • S. C.

Tickets will be available at the door or at the Medical library, Bridge hall. investigation. * “No questions have arisen in regard to the honesty of the election,” Elections Commissioner Phil Levine declared yesterday, “but Bob McKay, representing the student senate, has asked me not to release the vote tabulations until after they have been certified by the senate.’* McKay explained that several factors led to this action on his part. “The closeness of the election itself is important; we won’t be able to find out until tomorrow morning whether or not dental students received adequate notification that they had to vote at the Administration poll; and there is some question about the second-year medical students not being given an opportunity to vote,** he said yesterday. Senate members who were contacted were not able to offer any suggestions that might rectify the medical and dental students' situations if it did prove that they had not had an adequate opportunity to cast their ballots. It was pointed out that it would almost certainly have to be a choice between denying these students the right to vote or facing the problem of having a limited number of students undergo strong pressure from both sides before casting their ballots—neither alternative being a desirable one. The question in the dental students’ case concerns whether or not a notice was posted in the dental building notifying them that they would have to vote at the central polling place in front of the Administration building instead of in their own building as had been the previous procedure. The medical students’ problem centers around the assertion that the names of second-year students did not appear on the list of eligible voters and they therefore could not vote. A second-year medical student contacted last night declared that he and another student had written a notice on the blackboard of the room in which all second-year men were to take an examination, and that notice announced that those who wished to could vote in Arnold Eddy’s office between 4 and 4:30 p.m. He asserted that he took advantage of this opportunity but did not know how many others had. Faculty invites Apolliad judges 4—Z0-43—1 / Students, critics, and guests attending the two-hour Apolliad program in Touchstone theater May 8, are invited to a reception in the Green room of Old College during the program intermission, the faculty committee planning the affair announced yesterday. Invitations were sent to literary and art critics in this area last week, and approximately 12 will attend the program to criticize Trojans’ creative endeavors. The 1943 19th annual Apolliad, will be concerned with the student’s outlook on the world crisis. The program will consist of short stories, plays, essays, poems, musical compositions, and creative dances. Judges will view the presentations and send their criticisms by letter to the students participating in the program. The judges’ names will be announced next week, Mrs. Tacie Hanna Rew, committee chairman, stated. XX
