Trojans-on-the-Street Air Likes, Dislikes In Newspaper Survey
by Mary Joncich
Results of the first day of the reader interest poll, being conducted by the Daily Trojan to determine which type of material has more reader appeal, disclosed that humor features rank first in reader interest.
Personal opinions of students in the form of Letters to the Editor and staff-written editorials were preferred by Trojan readers next to the humorous material with wire stories and science features next in that order. COMMENTS TOO In many of the baUots, not only were the survey blanks completed but comments were scattered wherever room could be found, criticising or lauding the policies oi the Daily Trojan. If some students feel the ballot insufficient for their personal comments, the Trojan welcomes the addition of written remarks on the ballot or on a separate sheet of paper.
Some agreement was made as to the need for more news from other campuses, but most of the comments expressed the divergent interests of the readers.
Police to Fine Violators of SC Parking Zones
Two dollars—that’s what it's going to cost SC students who continue to park in the temporary “no parking” zones, authorized by Los Angeles city police, near the construction work on campus.
Citations are being issued this week and will be Issued to violators as long as the barracks classrooms are being moved and work is going on, -which probably will be throughout the present semester, according to a campus police representative yesterday.
The temporary signs, which have been completely ignored by many students during the past week, hold just as much import-

With unanimous approval of a provision for the election of nine senators-at-large on a preferential ballot, and a compromise of tlie election of ASSC and college officers, the constitutional committee yesterday completed the main body of a new ASSC constitution which will be submitted to the senate for approval at its next meeting.
Fearing misuse of a preferential ballot in electing ASSC and college officials, the committee, by majority agreement, declined to change the present simple plurality method. Difficulties centering around the installing and use of a preferential plan were other arguments against making a change.
PREFERENTIAL VOTING OUT Milt Dobkin held out for election of ASSC and college officers on the basis of balloting on the Ware preferential plan but was the only committee member supporting the method. Al Harrison, committee chairman, favored a majority vote of the student body with each col-j lege determining its own electoral ‘ | system. Dobkin will present the minority report to the senate.
