Greek Voters Choose IFC NomineeToday
Davis, Winn Face ‘Showdown’ Vote In Row Primary
Johnny Davis and Bill Winn square off in the final round of their battle for the IFC presidential nomination as Row’ voters head for the primary polls this morning to select their candidate.
A move to allow’ sorority women to participate in the all-Row primary collapsed at Thursday night’s]
IFC meeting. Under a plan proposed at the meeting women would have been allowed to express their preferences between the two candidates, but, after consideration, the coun- j cil ruled that the IFC constitution does not provide for such contingencies.
VOTE DEADLOCKED
Not originally a part of the IFC campaign plan, the primary was made necessary at the IFC nominations meeting last Thursday when voting by fraternity presidents resulted in a 13-13 deadlock between the two candidates. The general fraternity primary plan was adopted as tne only feasible method of selecting the Row’s final nominee.
This is the first time that such a primary has been held at SC.
Booths established in front of the Administration building will open at 9 and remain open until 4 today and tomorrow to handle the voting, which is expected to be heavy, according to the IFC primary elections commission.
In order to vote, men must present ASSC student body cards at the polling place for identification. Signatures will be checked to insure honesty.
Members of the commission handling the election are “Whitey” Fruh-ling, PiKA; Jerry Haynes, Kappa Sigma; Aubrey Kaplan, ZBT; and coach during Cromwell day at SC
Pete Clower, El Rodeo staff member, announced at the assembly that this year’s annual will be dedicated to Coach Cromwell, and “Ije council at its last meeting. Candi-	the first copy off the
dates are Grafton Tanquary, AMS ! presses. ’
LAS President Fred Knell presented the coach with a two-piece set of luggage, but not before Coach Cromwell removed a four-in-hand tie he was wearing (it wasn’t in keeping with Crcmwell Bow Tie day), and donned a giant bow tie. CIRCUIT RIDER LAMPOONED Laughmaker Standley livened up the entertainment part of the show, which was devoid of the promised feminine pulchritude. His interpretations of “Old Mother Hubbard” and “Little Bo Peep” and his closing hymn brought laughter to the Bovard audJence.
Crooner Wayne sang “Sleepy Baby” and “But Beautiful,” singer Mercer crooned “I Understand” and “Nature Boy,” and pianist Carter played “Body and Soul” and Tschai-kowsky’s Concerto in B Flat Minor.
Following the assembly, the-Knights escorted Coach Cromwell to Phelps-Terkel, where his footprints and bow tie were implanted in red cement.

The movement, originally a Peace Train program, was initiated by Dr. Paul B. Studebaker, pastor of the Church of the Brethren at Modesto.
Bill Stevens, former president of the Council on Atomic Implications, is representing the local chapter on the trip and is scheduled to work with David Lilienthal’s commission on atomic energy.
The delegation, convinced that war is not inevitable and that a world of law, justice, and order is still possible, will urge either the United States strengthen the United
ment is the organization of a sup- j Nations or call a world constitutional
convention.
Educators, clergymen, and veterans of California, Oregon, and Washington compose the group.
“We do not insist upon one particular method of getting a supranational government,” Dr. Pettengill asserted. “We do insist that we move in that direction decisively and rapidly.”
Among the responsible officials with whom the group will confer are Secretary of State George Marshall, Frederick Osborn, United States representative on the United Nations atomic energy committee, the director of the Federation of American Scientists, and congressional representatives.

“My thanks to Troy's great athletes, who have given me the opportunity to coach them and who have made me known.”
With this brief speech. Coach Dean Cromwell last Friday accepted from Bill Schroeder, Helms Athletic foundation director, a large golden trophy to be retained at SC as the Dean Bartlett Cromwell perpetuating trophy. Retroactive to 1947, the first name to be engraved on the award is Mel Patton, for his feat in equaling the 100-yard dash record last year.
The award was made at the LAS all-U assembly in Bovard auditorium honoring the Olympic coach for his 39 years of producing champions at SC. Appearing on the program were comedian John Standley, Artie Wayne, Charlie Spivak and his pianist, Bob Carter, and vocalist. Tommy Mercer.

“We must present a strong front to Russia. That country holds all ideals not embodied in force as irrelevant. They wouldn’t understand anything else; it would be taken as a sign of weakness,” Dr.
Northrop has said in reference to relations with Russia.
“There will be war with Russia unless the United States and the USSR can meet on a common scientific philosophy,” he noted in a speech, at SC last spring.
Communism and capitalism cannot unite, but under a new’ set of philosophical premises transcending both the United States and Russia’s present political ideology and set up an international economic order, if the United States is to avert war, Dr. Northrop noted.
SC will honor Dr. and Mrs.
Northrop Tuesday with a reception from 1:30 to 3 p.m. in the chancellor’s suite.

Third, the new telescope will allow astronomers to take a look at the expanding universe.
“There are 3,000.000 galaxies out-
the stars.
“There is pretty good reason to believe that hydrogen is abundant, but the heavier elements like plutonium and uranium can hardly be detected with a telescope and have not yet been analyzed,” explained the astronomer.
Dr. Russell pointed out that if these rare elements are abundant in the stars, they would be found in the interior.
“If the relative abundance of elements is found, the theory of the evolution of the stars may be

The professor said that no satisfactory explanation has ever been offered why the light in this outer universe is red. although one reason is that these galaxies are moving away.
Indicating the trends of astronomy in recent years,® Dr. Russell emphasized that astronomers are looking forward to improvement in the field of electronics. This improvement will permit precise measurement of the brightness of stars.
Papers Push Medic Hunt
A three-day search for a doctor who may be able to save a baby’s life still continues, and staff members of the UCLA I>ai!y Bruin and the Daily Trojan are cooperating to run down all possible leads.
Meager facts that reporters on both papers are trying to piece together to solve the mystery are that the doctor is supposedly a pediatrician and has done research either at SC or UCLA.
The hunt began when a frantic father called UCLA and said that his child is suffering from a disease that places her life in constant danger, one which specialists have been unable to diagnose, and that her only hope lies in finding the unknown doctor who has cured a similar case.
Many leads have been followed up, but the name of the doctor who may be instrumental in saving an infant’s life still remains a mystery.
Group to Study Lack of Spirit
“What's Wrong With Troy’s School Spirit” has become the big question of the week as the campaign to create a unified school spirit on the campus gets under way today.
Sponsored by the greater university committee with Johnny Davis as chairman, the committee hopes to attract student suggestions that will establish closer cooperation between organized and nonorganized students.
The problem of the all-U spirit lacking at SC was brought up at a discussion meeting last week between the Knights and Amazons With the backing of the greater university committee it was decided to poll the student body for ideas and suggestions that might alleviate the situation.
Junie Robinson of the Amazons was selected to contact all campus organizations by letter to obtain their support in the campaign.
A receptacle has been set up near the tobacco counter in the Student Union where students can leave their suggestions.
Initial Registry Ends at 3303
Registration for the coming ASSC elections remained quiet Friday as the first registration period ended.

Jerry Jones, elections commissioner, predicted that about 5500 j president of the council of religion.
“is to justify belief in peace. The three gentlemen who will address students at the noon assembly wrill attempt to show there is that justification. Those who will speak during the afternoon will base their discussions around the presentation of attaining and preserving peace.” Truitt expressed the hope that Trojans will take a strong interest in the program and special activities planned for today, adding that the prominence of the guest speakers and significance of their messages should attract that interest.
talks by Father Robert Coerver. Catholic representative; Rabbi Jacob Pressman, representing the Jewish faith; and Dr. Frank Fagerburg, speaking for Protestantism. These clergymen will show the approach to peace in their respective faiths. Their scheduled theme is “My Faith Looks at Peace.”
RACE PROBLEMS DISCUSSED At 2:15, G. Raymond Booth, executive director of the Los Angeles council for civic unity, will base his lecture on the factor of interracial peace in Los Angeles. Mr. Booth will pose the question, “Can we live in peace in unity in a city having such large Jewish, Mexican, Negro, Japanese, and Filipino populations?” The Newman club, Hillel foundation, and Protestant groups on campus have expressed their willing-! ness to cooperate with the council I of religion by making provisions for I their discussions at weekly meet-! ings to center around the relrgious J day theme, “Emphasis on Peace.

C Northrop of Yale university, who will spealf on “International Policy for a War-Threatened World.” He may be heard at 3:30 today in Hancock auditorium, and will con tinue discussion of this topic tomorrow and Wednesday.
Supplementing the religious activities, one adviser from each of the 13 religious organizations on campus will meet tomorrow. 11 a.m to 2 p.m. at the Hillel house, 1029 West 29th street, for consultation with all students wishing to discuss personal problems.

Robert Hunter’s playing of the Greig piano concerto highlighted the Fullerton performance. Sharing honors with the band, the Trojan glee club featured James Smalley singing Fred Waring’s arrangement of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.”
Taking the place of the former Apolliad. the Festival of Contemporary Arts highlights programs sponsored by the Institute of the Arts, College of Architecture, physical education department, and the Allan Hancock Foundation for Scientific Research. Festival displays and programs on campus will be held almost daily during May.
In a sudden move Friday afternoon, Jack Gariss, chairman of the Unity party steering committee renounced the party’s policy and resigned as its nominal head.
In an initial statement to the Daily Trojan, he said, “I repudiate the whole policy of the Unity party and resign as its chairman.
“I don't believe UP represents
the independent students, coming cut as it does for certain candidates who aren’t independent.
“Steering committee changed the plank in the platform of abolition of segregation and discrimination on racial and religious grounds to a new plank—lukewarm opposition ta segregation and discrimination.
“Apathy shown by students in registration and so forth shows the general discontent with so-called Unity party because it does not represent their interests.
“What I would like would be an independent student organization running flatly against the Row. ‘You can’t ride two horses at the same time—both independent and Row candidates/
“I will run as an independent representative. and challenge any man
JACK GARISS . . . repudiates
the UP puts up before a public assembly to answer the question why he can't honestly represent the independent students and UP at the same time."
Unity party members when contacted expressed surprise. Said Jack Shaffer independent representative and Unity member, and Mike Colicigno, member of the steering committee:
The working organization of the UP is ready to carry through the program outlined in its platform. The steering committee, which acted unanimously in establishing UP policy, feels that one man’s action dues not repudiate the ideals of the organization, and that, although Mr. Gariss feels it necessary to resign, the party will carry on under the very able leadership of Herb Riley, upon the policies lt has publicly stated.”
joe Flynn, Unity candidate for
ASSC president, said, “Mr. Gar lisa has misunderstood the basic concepts of our policy. The Unity party was never intended to be a nonorg versus org party but one for any student who was interested in electing the best candidate on merit and in campaigning against machine government.”
Pat Corrigan, secretary of the steering committee and recently announced candidate for ASSC secretary stated:
“Gariss gave the Unity party no indication of this unfavorable attitude to our slate and platform. We assumed that he realized the name Unity denoted a coalition of both row and non-orgs alike.
