Ticket Sales Advanced To Avoid Final Rush
To forestall a last-minute rush for tickets to Friday night’s YWCA carnival at the Casa de Rosas, tickets will be on sale throughout this weefc, announced Nancy Lloyd, who is in charge of ticket sales.
Sororities were contacted at row meetings last night to
set the ticket sale campaign in mo- i-—
tion. Tickets may be obtained this
week from Miss Lloyd and her assistants, Sally Short, Eloise Hoff, Pauline Tevis, Kay Diedrickson, Janet Logan, and Betty Brown.
“Buy your ticket now,” advised Miss Lloyd, who anticipates a big eleventh-hour sale at the carnival Friday night.
EVERYONE INVITED
The tickets come in groups of five, each ticket being valued at 5 cents and the stub selling for a quarter. Throughout the carnival, happy-faced clowns will be selling the stubs.
“Everyone at Troy is welcome to the Y's annual carnival,” stressed Virginia Harutunian, who is in top charge of the evening. A big turnout of SC's 12,000 students is sought, she stated.
Infusing the Casa de Rosas, veterans’ dorm at University and Adams, with the spirit of the circus is the job of Johna Dunlap, who heads the decorations committee. Peppermint-striped candy and cotton candy motifs will embellish the Casa, and possibilities of getting a real canvas top to complete the circus effect are being explored. STARTS AT 7 P.M.
The evening's fun will get under way at 7 p.m. and continue until doors close at 11 p.m.. announced Miss Harutunian. Thirty booths, offering varied entertainment and tantalizing food and refreshments

Mittler Sets Time For Election Ads
“Campaign managers in the coming elections must file their advertising for the Daily Trojan in the business office of the D. T. by 5 tonight if they want to receive space in the paper,” Dick Mittler business manager of the Daily Trojan, announced yesterday.
To insure a spot in the paper, all space reservations, engravings, copy, photographs, and layouts must be in 234 Student Union no later than the aforementioned deadine.
A change in the cost of advertising for all offices except president and vice president has been made, and 20 inches of space may now be put in the Daily Trojan for $10. Cost to the candidates for the two top positions in the student body is still limited to $30 as set by the ASSC constitution.
All advertising will appear ln either Thursday or Friday's paper.
Actors Offer Poe Mystery
Following the current style of psychological mysteries, “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe will be presented Friday and Saturday night in the Touchstone theater.
This play, although written approximately 100 years ago, before the age of “Spellbound” and “Shock,” contains all the terrifying elements of suspense for which these pictures are noted.
Centered around a perfect crime I that has been committed, the plot I of the play brings out the fallability | of the human mind. The crime it-j self, perfect as far as the inability of the police to solve it, finally j brings the murderer to justice through a confession brought about by his conscience.
Those familiar with ‘The Fall of the House of Usher” or any of the many other supernatural tales written by Poe know weil his mastery in creating a situation of terror’and suspense.
There are only three characters: Edgar, played by Bill Sowers, a graduate student in drama who is also directing the play; the Inspector, Bob Downing; and the policeman, Joe Fish.	^
Curtain time is 8:30 FridwT'and Saturday night in the TOuchstom theater.

“Leadership, honesty, and a complete understanding of campus life and campus problems, are the prerequisites for a good ASSC president,” Nichols said.

“I iflake no questionable promises to any one group on campus.” MITCHELL NOMINATED Jim Mitchell, Kappa Sig, was the second candidate to be nominated for ASSC president. John Baird, who nominated Mitchell, declared his candidate to be “the only candidate who is really working for campus unity.’’
