CHARLOTTE QUINN
Quinn becomes acting prexy
C. Q. takes over for one week.
Charlotte Quinn, vice-president of the Associated Students, officially became the first woman president in the history of SC Tuesday when Bob McKay, who is leaving Monday in the mfdshipmen’s training class, handed over his gavel to her.
As the last part of the senate meeting, McKay gave her the reins to lead the student affairs at Troy.
In the words of McKay, Miss Quinn has ability, personality, levelheadedness, and ‘“is just the type to settle the affairs of the ASSC election.’*
Former trackman reported missing
Johnny Butler, former Trojan and member of Kappa Simga fraternity, was reported missing recently after a raid over Berlin on Mar. 20. Butler, a bombadier, took part in a large scale raid over Germany and failed to return.
Word was received that he was missing on Mar. 28.
Butler ran the mile and two mile at Troy in 1940.
Caldwell’s original lead to 42 votes. Thus is completed an unprecedented chapter in all SC political history—an interesting example of student-controlled democratic election processes at work. The first vote for a student body president was cast at 8:30 p.m. Mar. 26 and the last vote a* 2 p.m. Apr. 21.
The election started with Bob McKay as president and Phil Levine as election commissioner, and ended with Charlotte Quinn replacing McKay, and Bob Fiske taking the post of Levine, who resigned. Fiske also resigned immediately after making his report to senate at yesterday afternoon's meeting. His resignation was accepted.
Interest ran high in the med school vote, since 53 out of 64 eligible voters cast ballots, whereas only 1393 students out of more than 4000 voted in last Friday’s election.
In one of the few senate election meetings that was not closed to the general student body by presidential decree, followers of both candidates lined the walls and occupied all available seats to hear the results. Caldwell and Williams were present Levine and McKay were absent.
Tension mounted as Fiske, in a fast, crisp voice, read off lengthy preliminary material as to how the election was conducted. When the 43 to 10 vote was given, the only reaction was increased tension.
He ended with “Because of the existing votes cast I recommend to the ASSC senate the ratification of the election of Bill Caldwell to the office of president of ASSC.** Sighs of relief echoed his concluding words.
A voice vote approved of the election. There were no opposing votes.
Miss Quinn set the installation ceremonies for next Tuesday.
All that remains is to quote the beautifully expressive remark of one senator:
“By gaaawd, the damn thing’s over with.**

Troy sluggers nip Oxy Tigers for title
by Lee Schulman
Mighty Trojan batsmen, taking advantage of Dutch Ruether’s poor control in the top half of the ninth inning, and also cutting short a promised fatal rally as the Bengals batted for their last time, yesterday nipped the Occidental nine on Patterson field, 6-5, to become champions of the Southern California Intercollegiate Baseball League.
Earl “Ace” Chamber? went in to relieve Dave Sacks in the sixth frame after the former Bruin hurler had filled the bases with Oxy men. Chambers pitched almost errorless ball from there in, and although one run did cross the plate to tie the score at 3 all in that sixth canto, Earl got
credit for his eighth win of the year as he went on to hurl his teammates to victory.
The clash, played with the Oxy campus for a background, was easily the tightest game of the current season. It had thrills galore packed into every inning, witn everything, including a near free-for-all breaking out in the closing minutes of the game.
Going into the ninth frame the Trojans and Bengals were tied at
3-3. But it was here that Walter “Dutch” Ruether, son of the famous major league hurler, lost his control and saw a possible* victory for the home squad fade into a once happy dream, and at the same time witnessed ihe De-
deaux Yankees come through in the clutch and walk off the diamond with the title in their possession.
Ruether struck out Ken McCreight, the first man he faced in that fateful ninth, and it looked as if things weren’t soing to be so bright for the locals. But before Dutch knew what was happening, Hal Umer stepped in and hit a bullet-like grounder to the Oxy shortstop who bobbled the pellet, and the Trojan center fielder reached first by virtue of the Tiger error.
Bill Spaeter hit a slow rolling ball down the third base line which sent Urner to second, but the Tiger catcher threw Spaeter
out at the first sack and things again looked black for the Dedeauxmen.
And then the bomb exploded in Ruether’s face!
With two away the Oxy hurler was facing Karl Tashjian. The second ball he pitched wert wild which sent Urner racing to third. Two balls later Tashjian walked to first, and four pitches after that Don Palmer got anothep free ticket.
Bases loaded, two away, ninth inning, Earl Chambers in the batter’s box, . &nd after hurling 11 straight balls Ruether threw a called strike. Ten minutes later, after an intersquad melee was finally broken up that had start-(Continued on Page Two)
