Unexpected development ln SC’s impending political storm broke Thursday night when Wally Flanagan, Sigma Chi, was nominated for the ASSC presidency. It was the second nomination placed before the Interfraternity council for the post.

Unity Party Reveals Platform Principles
Striking at “entrenched monopoly” and “psuedo-leadership” in student government, charter members of the Unity party met Thursday in a council of war against “machine politics” on the campus.
An appeal to all students opposed to “invisible machinations in campus politics” was trumpeted as a drive for expanding membership was put into motion.
Dissatisfied with the present electoral structure in student body government, the Unity party advocated the “selection of candidates for student body offices through an open convention.”
Principles on which the Unity party platform shall ultimately be built were delineated as follows:
1—Students have the right to act as citizens and are therefore entitled to those fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States to its citizens.
2—These	rights include freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of press, and the r.ght to petition.
3—Effective	power should be given to the student body in matters both peculiar and vital to students.
4 — Better student-faculty-administration cooperation and a mutual consultation of these bodies on important matters that affect them equally.
Dick Gilson, acting chai man at the meeting. directed a discussion on campaigning methods and specific policies to be followed by the party.
The final platform will be worked out on the basis of the above report. It will be written by the platform committee and then submitted for adoption at a eeneral party meeting.
Knights, Squires Petitions Available
Petitions for membership in the honorary service organizations, Trojan Knights and Squires, are available beginning today, Guy Claire. Knight president, announced Friday.
Selected on the basis of willingness to work for the university, leadership as demonstrated by work done during matriculation at SC. and achievement 1
in scholastic activities, members of! the two honoraries have the duty j of upholding Trojan spirit.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Grover, Kerfoot Participants In Annual National Tourney
SC’s debate team of George Grover and Potter Kerfoot journeys east tomorrow morning to participate in the annual National Debate tourney held this year at the United States Military academy, West Point. They will represent the southwest, an honor that has been accorded the university ever year since the national tour- j ney has been held.
Both Grover and Kerfoot have been speaking their respective pieces | for SC since before the war. Grover, a pre-law student, has consistently made the winner's circle in collegiate forensics with his extemporaneous speaking and debating.
Kerfoot. a junior in engineering, has also been a winner in the discussion field as well as in debating.
THREE-YEAR CLIMAX “It’s quite a climax to three years of debating at SC,’’ said Kerfoot, who is looking forward to his stay in New York. Dr. Alan Nichols, coach, will also make the trip. He thinks their chances of bringing home the honors are very good.
“Mathematically, our chances are 32 to 1, as there will be 32 other col! ages and universities representing’ their regions. However, with this team I think our chances are near 6 to 1,” said the coach.
Grover's only comment was. “1 sure hate to miss the classes.''
RECENT WINNERS Both men turned in outstanding performances at the recent western states tourney held at the University of Redlands. This meet and their performance in winning first place at this year's Caltech tourney, cinched the national bid.
The debates will be held May 2. |

Ernest Kanitz’ Serenade for Piano, Wind, and Percussion received its premiere next. Conducted by the composer, the music is colorful and extremely fascinating to listen to. The ensemble was well trained and performed professionally.
William Teaford. pianist, ended the concert as soloist with the ! band playing ‘‘Rhapsody in Blue.' His interpretation was one of the most remarkable this writer has ever seen, because of his ability to play with great inner depth of understanding: in a word—musicianship. He has a knack for playing spectacularly without appearing to do so.
