Plans Released For Graduation
Plans for SC's 65th annual commencement exercises, to be held in the Coliseum Saturday, June 12, were releases yesterday by Prof. William R. LaPorte, commencement marshal.
A procession of the graduating class and faculty down University avenue wall precede the exercises. The procession will begin in front of the Administration building. Excesses are scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m.
Caps and gowns will be provided by the university. Measurements for them all will be taken next week in the basement of Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall from 9 to 5 daily. A $5 deposit is required for each gown but will be refunded.
If candidates for degrees are unable to appear in person for measurements, they are requested to send to the University Bookstore their name, hat size, height, weigjit, and degree sought.
Costumes will be delivered June 9. 10, 11, and 12 from the basement of the Student Union. They must be returned immediately after the exercises.
Only diplomas for Ph.D. and Ed.D. degrees will be issued at commencement exercises because final grades will not have been complied yet. Diplomas will be mailed to candidates at a later date.
Baccalaureate services for the graduating class are being combined with inauguation ceremonies for Dr. Fred D. Fagg Jr. the day preceding commencement. The services and inauguration of Dr. Fagg as sixth president of the university will take place at 3 p.m., Friday, June 11 in front of the University library.

Senior Council Gives Juniors Prom Invitation
No unconditional surrender was Junior Class President Joe Flynn’s agreement to bury the traditional hatchet and puff the peace pipe with Senior Class President Cliff Lyddon yesterday noon.
One of the stipulations imposed by the juniors at the hatchet-burying ceremony in front of Bovard was the juniors be allowed to at-
Contrary to reports published earlier in the week in the DT, the “moonlight and roses” senior prom, to which juniors will be admitted, will take place Saturday right and not Friday night. The prom ad in yesterday’s paper was similarly in error.
Dependable service keys went out to five members of the DT and Wampus staffs Tuesday at the journalism banquet in recognition of "heir work during the past year.
Forrest Foster and Barbara Schick received keys for their handling of DT business staff duties.
Al Hix, Art Buchwald. and Bob Jones qualified for keys for service
on the Wampus, campus humor magazine. Hix edited the Wampus and wrote the column, Incidentally Speaking.
Buchwald was managing editor, business manager, and general gagman. Jones served as art editor and himself contributed many of the cartoon gags. He originated the now famous Willie the Wampus-bird.
tend the “moonlight and roses” senior prom Saturday night. To this, Lyddon and the senior council agreed.
BIDS AVAILABLE
According to ASSC Vice-PV e s i-dent Jea Morf, juniors may now purchase bids to the formal, the same as seniors. Bids, which are selling all this week for $3 per couple, are available in the university ticket office, 211 Student Union. In addition, a number of tickets have been placed at the various fraternity and sorority houses, and will be sold by senior council members in a special booth in front of Bovard today and tomorrow from 9 until 5.
GRADS INVITED
“A special invitation is extended to last February’s grads,” Lyddon added, “so that they can come back and renew acquaintances. The council members are working hard on the prom, as is the ASSC social committee. We know that this formal is going to be well worth remembering as a final fling for seniors here at SC.”
The “moonlight and roses” prom will take place at the Bel-Air Bay club, and will feature the “cafe society” music of Dick Dildine and his orchestra.

Farmer to Air Race Doctrine
One of the founders of the Committee of Racial Equality, James Farmer, will offer his views in “Race and Our Conscience,” an address sponsored by the Council of Religion in the art and lecture room, University library, at noon Friday.
An experienced writer and lecturer, Mr. Farmer has worked for better racial understanding and tolerance. He started his crusade when he became a member of the National Council of Methodist Youth.
In 1942 Mr. Farmer helped establish the Committee of Racial Equality, followed by his acceptance as the first national president of the Congress of Racial Equality.
The lecturer has served on the leadership staff of youth camps and institutes. Each summer he has accepted a faculty post in one of the regional young people’s Institutes of International Relations sponsored by the American Friends Service committee.
Seniors Ditch Tomorrow; Destination—Zuma Beach
Senior wTeek festivities will be climaxed tomorrow when members of the graduating class “ditch” legally and head for Zuma beach.
“Ditchers.” with the approval of the University administration, wrill be excused from their noon and afternoon classes, according to Cliff Lyddon, senior class president.
Lyddon said that a caravan has been planned, and will leave from 28th street picking up all seniors wishing transportation from any point on the Row. After leaving the Row, the caravan will tour the campus, picking up additional ditching seniors.
The “ditch” party at Zuma beach will be next to the last major event in the senior-week program, which has been planned and directed by members of the semor council in
honor of February and June 1948 graduates.
Highlights of the week include last Tuesday night's AMS recognition assembly, the “hatchet-b u r y i n g” ceremony between seniors and juniors yesterday, ’ditch day tomorrow, and the formal “Moonlight and Roses” prom at the Bel-Air bay club Saturday night.
approved Jones’ report after some discussion as to the eligibility of John McGriff, candidate for senator-at-large.
Davis, with a 1554 count, collected only 85 votes less than the combined vote of Flynn and Milt Dobkin, independent candidate; Flynn received 870 votes, while Dobkin was close on his heels with 769.
The elections were declared official after Independent Representative Jack Shaffer asked the senators to thank and commend Jones for his fine work in running the election.
TANQUARY UNOPPOSED
Unopposed in the race for AMS presidency was Grafton Tanquary, who garnered a total of 2964. Other successful candidates were Barbara Potter, ASSC vice-president; Jeanne Gard, ASSC secretary; and Jack McKee, yell king.
Al Hix was chosen LAS president; Don Gill, president of College of Architecture; Ben Keeler, president of College of Music; Wayne Chiappe, president of the College of Engineering; Jim Bennett, president of College of Pharmacy; Cedric Gerson, president of College of Commerce; and Richard Barton, International Relations president.
The question of the eligibility, of John McGriff was raised at the senate meeting when Jesse Unruh said that he had heard from Mike Colicigno, vote counter, that candidate Bill Hurt might have more votes than McGriff.
ALL IN AGREEMENT
Colicigno, Frank diMarco, tn charge of the PR vote count, and Elections Commissioner Jerry Jones all told the senate that at the time the count was made they were all in agreement on the candidates elected.
DiMarco and Jones said that it would be virtually impossible to recount the PR votes, because the ballots had been mixed when they were stored in the vault.
Kenny Kerns was declared elected as an assistant yell leader. Kerns received 22 write-in votes on the ballot. One of the five yell leader candidates had been declared ineligible.
Choir Presents Irish Numbers From Musical
A medley of songs from the motion picture “My Wild Irish Rose” at the annual SC a cappella choir spring concert will provide a change for those Trojans lacking in appreciation for classical music.
The choir, organized in 1945 by Dr. Charles C. Hirt, will perform in Bovard auditorium tomorrow night at 8:30. Lyric tenor soloist John L. McGowan wrill carry vocal leads in the medley from the motion picture musical.
One number included in the performance, ‘Bayoushki Bayou,” was arranged by Gretchaninoff especially for Russian soprano Maria Kurenko and the SC a cappella choir. Dolores Peterson will sing the solo.
NATIVITY SONG INCLUDED
“O Magnum Mysterium,” a Nativity song from the 16th century, will open the program.
Among the activities of the choir in the metropolitan area each year are a spring concert, presentation of a major oratorio, and participation in the annual Easter sunrise service at Forest Lawn Memorial park. The latter program is broadcast over a national network.
Prompted by the enthusiastic reception of that tour, the choir this year visited El Centro, Brawley, Palm Springs, Riverside, and Phoenix. Actor Dennis Morgan joined the choir in San Diego for a special concert in which he sang leading solos.
Dr. Hirt, organizer and director of the choir for the past three years, developed and became director of the sacred music department of the university. Aside from his duties at SC, Dr. Hirt is minister of music at the First Presbyterian church in Hollywood.
