Y Mardi Gras Draws Throng
The Mardi Gras-fashioned Y carnival Friday night proved to be one of SC's most successful, as a result of the large participation and the gaily decorated booths.

All There Is to It
Signing your name—that’s all there is to it. Registration for the coming campus elections involves nothing more.
It’s simple. It’s effortless. It’s free. You make no sacrifice whatsoever, and yet you receive an invaluable privilege. You receive the right to vote.
Perhaps you are inclined to rationalize your own inertia by sneering at “petty campus politics.”
It is true that campus politics are no reflection of sublime order and purity; neither are politics in our cities, nor politics on a national scale. But the fact remains: politics are the means by which people govern themselves. In a democratic system politics are just as good as the people make them. The more people who exercise the right to vote—and exercise it wisely — the better will be the kind of politics and the kind of government we shall have.
There is ample reason for us to strive for student government that will administer campus affairs honestly and well. But there is more to it than that. Although the connection may seem obscure, policy on a national and international scale is founded on local activities and opinions.
The kind of local governments operating in our nation reflect the state of the popular mind to congress, to our

Father Dunne To Tell Role Of Catholicism
One of the most active supporters of labor and racial minority groups ln Los Angeles, the Rev. George Dunne of Loyola university will speau on Catholicism in Bowne hall at 3:15 today in the fifth of the Panorama of Religion lecture series.
“Not politicians or business tycoons, not labor leaders or
ecclesiastical dignitaries, not artists or philosophers, but only saints are the true products and representatives of the church,” Father Dunne ! contends.	,
MENTAL PROBLEM The task of achieving a just and j wise society, he makes clear, is the task of the human intellect.
“The specific mission of the church,” he says “is to be witness \ to Christ and to offer a means of participating in a divine life through sanctifying grace.”
An active participant in movements to combat minority group oppression, Father Dunne is concerned at present in aiding motion picture workers who are suffering because of the labor controversies at the studios.
NEW YORK PLAY

Edmund Penney, SC orator, became college champion of the Hearst newspapers’ national Patrick Henry oratorical competition Thursday night by winning a clear-cut victory in the finals at Pittsburgh.
Topping competition offered by Anita Cirpiani, St. Johns

SECOND CHAMPIONSHIP Margot Brader, Immaculate Heart representative in the high school competition, tied with Edward Griffin, Detroit, for first place, but the tie was resolved in favor of Griffin when the five judges compared the number of “first” awards.

NEW DELHI. India, May 4—0> —Orthodox Brahmin priests and Sadhu ascetics squatted outside the residence of nationalist leader Jawa-harlal Nehru in relays today, waving their yellow flags marked with the sacred swastika of Hinduism and chanting:
“Don't let the untouchables enter our temples.”
The demonstration marked the start of a big and potentially dangerous Hindu protest against the proposal by the constituent assembly that the future constitution of an independent India forbid dis-! crimination against up to 60,000.000 j untouchables, condemned by age-old Hindu religious practice to live i as outcasts from birth to death. SANSKRIT CLASSES While the demonstration continued for hours outside the home of Nehru, leader of the caretaker government, other priests, gathered in a thatched camp on the bank | of the sacred river Jumna, addressed their classes in ancient , Sanskrit to explain why an earth ( tremor shook Delhi for 20 seconds I yesterday.
i It was due to the anger of mother j earth over the sacrilegious action of the assembly in seeking to end their chant against the proposed ban on keeping untouchables a submerged class.
A few at tha demonstrator* war*
arrested, under the existing ban on public demonstrations, when they became too noisy.
The demonstrations demanded that the constituent assembly draft a proposed constitution in consultation with scholars and pandits of the Shastras—the Hindu holy books —who had studied them on “holy lines.”
The demonstrators demanded also that the constitution of a “free” India impose an absolute ban on the slaughter of cows, which Hindus consider sacred; abandon all plans for partitioning the country into Moslem and Hindu areas and drop all proposed legislation which would interfere with Hindu religious practices.
PRINCES WILL SECEDE
The British - owned newspaper Statesman said today that it was likely that maharajahs would press for independence of Indian princes if a system of partition in favor of Moslem areas were finally agreed on.
A majority of the 140 maharajahs who belong to the chamber of princes favor setting up their own sovereign Rajast an-Princes’ I And— and their own constituent assembly, the newspaper said. This would separate one-third of the area and one-fourth of the population of the Indian sub-continent from the rest of the country
thuds from the favorites as they literally plowed up the coliseum cinders. A total of 13 meet records standing since 1928 and one coliseum mark slipped into obscurity as a result of the collision of the two teams.
PATTON ROARS
Mel Patton was one step closer to the king sprinter title as he roared through the century in 9.6s and put a six yard whammy on the vaunted Herb McKenley in the furlong in 20.4s. smashing Jesse Owens’ mark of 20.7s.
In the 100. Bill Mathis paced him for 50 yards and succumbed to the “Meteor’s” terrific gather. Coming back up the track, the dusky NCAA champ could only shake his head and say “I don’t know where that boy came from.”
The duel of the century in the 220 was all Patton. Starting faster than Jet Pilot, Patton had five yards on the Jamaica flyer coming j out of the tunnel and never re-linquished it.
Illinois, sporting flashy indoor I tans, looked like the original pale I faces compared to the bronzed Tro- I jans. Illinois hadn’t had enough I work outside and showed it. Coach i Leo Johnson entered John Twomey j in the mile and Cromwell countered with Roland Sink. It was a great '
4:14.6s. Two yards back was Sink and six yards back of Mm was Twomey. '
Sink had no excuses, taking the lead on the fourth lap. he was out-kicked by one of the best in the business. Whatever the strategy of the two coaches, it backfired. Rehberg was scratched from the half mile and Sink and Twomey gave up the two mile after three and five laps respectively.
NIGHTMARE The high hurdles was a nightmare. George Walker crashed into the first hurdle and went no further. Dick Attlesey. Hank Gabriel, and Lou Futrell came up to the eight running in that order. Attlesey, still bothered by a bad leg, hit the eighth, staggered over
prejudice.
Father Dunne is a member of the board of directors of the Los Angeles county committee of human relations, the state civic unity committee. and the Los Angeles youth council.
The 42-year-old sociologist and churchman was bom in St. Louis, Mo. He received his A.B. at Loyola, later being awarded a doctor's degree in sociology at the University of Chicago.
In China he spent four years studying sociological conditions. He was ordained into the Catholic church in 1934.
Town and Gown
The confab, which gave the youthful students a chance to see the campus and compare it with other universities of their possible choice, also provided an opportunity for Trojans to establish contact with active high school opinion groups.
Following registration in the patio of Mudd hall, the high school crowd was taken to 101 Harris hall, where Trojan Coaches Jeff Cravath. Sam Barry, and Jess Hill welcomed the young leaders. Pat Hillings, chairman of the greater university committee and head of the day’s activities. introduced most of the top executives of SC’s student government and service groups. A film showing the Trojan band and rooting section in action at last year's j #
football games was shown.	SinQeT tO AppeST
A tour of the campus preceded I 9	'
luncheon at the Kappa Sigma fra- |n Rriwno P or if 3 I temity house, and. later, the high ' 1 n DOWne l\eUldl
schoolers were SC's guests at the
coliseum track meet.
Prior to the Thursday night contest Penney received many telegrams from Trojan friends expressing confidence in his ability and urging him to win. One read “To be or not to be B.M.O.C. fbig man on campus),” while another stated “Knock ’em dead or drop dead. Penney said he felt it safer to win than to return in defeat.
The Pittsburgh finals were held in the Stephen Foster Memorial hall on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh under the sponsorship of the Pittsburgh Sun-Tele-graph. host newspaper.
Included in the capacity audience was Penney* father, Fred Penney Chicago landscape artist, who said his son’s victory gave him one of the greatest thrills of his life.
