KUREISHI DID. TOO
Omar Kureishi. high-level Unity strategist, also had other ideas.
“That this has happened so close to election time is, of course, a coincidence We certainly are interested to know what are the reasons for the ousters,” he said yesterday.
Three of the four'men. Padgett, Carter, and Evans, all have taken firm stands in favor of Alpha Phi Omega, new men's sendee organization which, reportedly, threatens to take o'er a large share of the Knights’ traditional campus functions.
PURGE INSINUATIONS
Insinuations flew thick and fast \esterday that the Knight* wer? attempting to purge their organization ol Alpha Phi Omega supporters.
Evans, expressing surprise at his dismissal from the group. said that no one warned him of the possibility or his ouster for absence from meetings.
He said he was making arrangements for tne forthcoming Y dance Wednesday afternoon.
“I stopped on the Row and explained to ? group oi Knights, including Morey Thomas, last year's Knieht president, that I had an appointment with Gwynn Wilson, president of the Trojan Alumni as' fociation." he said.
EVANS GETS COUNT
Evans said he returned immediately after the meeting only to learn that he had been given the jong count.
"I would like to know what the Knights believe constitutes service to the university,” he added.
Chet Carter observed that his alleged absences had piled up almost overnight. He said he had never missed a meeting before this week.
Interviewed in the Blue Key office, Carter said he had been kept busy there on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and that= several Knights, were “cognizant of what I was doing and why I was absent from the meetings ”
His dismissal, he said, came as a “complete surprise.”

Health Plan Unripe Comstock Wins
For ASSC Ballot Presidency of
The ASSC Senate’s request for a hospital and improved health services on campus is still in a “formulative stage” with the administration, Johnny Davis, ASSC president, said at Wednesday night’s senate meeting.
Pending further administrative consideration, the measure
will not be placed on the ballot in*-——————---——-——
next week's general student body
elections as had been anticipated, said Bob Flower, Greater University committee chairman.
According to Davis and Flower, definite progress is being made, however. Davis said the tuition increase would probably be $5 or less for the individual student, and not $10 as the senate had suggested.
Bob Padgett, Unity party’s choice for ASSC president, said, “I had hoped the students would get the chance to vote on the plan in the forthcoming election.”
During the meeting the Senate approved a new committee, the Independent Student Council of SC. Its purpose is to assist and advise the independent student representative on all independent student matters. Members will be drawn from some 20 organizations 011 campus.
Quali'ications for independent i student representative and veter-ans repi esentative were also clari- j field by the Senate. The Independ- i ent Representative shall be an un- j dergraduate student, no^ associated ' with any fraternity or sorority and must have completed 60 units, the last year in residence at SC.
The Veterans' Representative must also have completed 60 units, the last year in residence. He shall have served in the armed forces with at least 12 months active ser-

Alpha Phi Omega, new national service fraternity on compus, was given a non-voting seat on the Senate and its status was confirmed when the Senate OK'd the recommendation of AMS committee.
Cal Schmidt, Trojan Chest co-chairman and Row candidate for junior class president, said in his report that over $8300 had been collected in the Trojan Chest's annual drive. $3000 has already been laid aside for Troy Camp. SC's summer camp for underprivileged boys.
More money is expected to roll in when Fred Harper's freshman council takes over one issue of Campus magazine and donates all profits to the drive. Schmidt Will give a final report at the last Senate meeting.
Davis Scorns Flower s Zeal
Greater University Chairman Bob Flower had his wrists slapped Wednesday at the Senate meeting.
President Johnny Davis admonished him for over-concentrating his talents on suggestions to improve Fraternity Row.
Flower expounded for almost five minutes on his proposals to beautify 28th street.
“I plan to have all the telephone poles taken out. Underground wiring will be substituted.
“All the dying elm trees will be removed.
“Chains will be installed at each end of the Row, and a sign posted reading, “This street is a private street, and not fcr public use.’
“After I finish we'll have a Row comparable to UCLA's.
“Where you have old-fashioned property owners we may have to use coercion to accomplish this.
Independent representative Bill Grey attained the floor.
“Somehow Mr. Flower has overlooked my home over 011 24th street. We have dying trees, upright telephone poles and lighting problems, too. I believe the Greater University committee should give us some attention.”
President Davis broke in and told Flower, “Grey’s point is well taken, and Flower should concentrate 011 things of a more general university nature.”
SC Bar Assn
Horace Comstock was elected president of the SC Bar association yesterday.
Other School of Law election victors were Howard Clayton, vice-president; La Villa Adamson, secretary-treasurer; and Edwin Beach, public relations officer.
When informed or tne results, Ccmstock said. “I'm very happy j and I was running against a very J good man. I just hope I can do as good a job as our present president, Bill Hogoboom.’’
In answer to charges made Wednesday by several students against George Grover, candidate who op-posed Comstock, the following notice signed by Joel Rudof, president of tlie student chapter of the Lawyer's Guild, appeared on the , Law bulletin board;
"The Lawyer's Guild has not and • is not supporting any one candi- J date on any group of candidates. 1 The primary purpose of this not- ! ice is aimed at the slanderous re- | marks made by seme person who likes’ to shoot off his mouth before he thinks or knows what it is all ; about.
“The Guild does not endorse Communism, nor is it ‘tainted with 1 Red.’ On the other hand, it has the endorsement cf some of .the greatest men of our time."

Only 79 coupons pledging attendance to the senior prom have been turned in from a class numbering about 5000 students; Dave Saunders. senior class president, said yesterday.
Today is the last day these pledge slips will appear in the DT. This afternoon Saunders will count the total number received and decide if there is enough support for a senior prom.
Referring to Guthrie Miller's list of 228 students pledging their support, Saunders said, “Names on a petition are not enough. We must have pledges, because the prom will take place after finals and there must be enough people in town to attend.”
“Each pledge must have the name and phene number listed.” he said: "so that we may contact them."
The 200 coupons ,put in the Student Union bookstore for distribution are “going steadily but not too fast,” said Miller, still confident that there will be enough pledges by next week.
Seniors who want to pledge their support may obtain blank forms from any of the clerks 011 duty, he said.
The senior prom will be held June 11 if enough pledges are received. Bids will cost between $3 and $4 and will admit two persons.
“The IFC will be happy to back the dance if any interest is.-shown in it,” Saunders said. “The dance was cancelled because there no money to underwrite it.”
A bad risk due to the failure of the last two all-U dances, the prom was cancelled because of student
apathy, he said.
Representatives frcm AMS. ASSC, Delta Chi, and Tri Delt spoke before various organizations recently in an attempt to increase interest in the prom.
The YMCA offered to dedicate its May 13 dance to the senior class in order to underwrite the prom.
"Apathy of seniors toward the pron\ is reflected throughout the entire student body, according to John Davis, ASSC president.
“There is either a lack of interest in social activities or a lack of a program to appeal to the general student body,’’ said Davis, at was j last night’s Senate meet ng.
A thorough investigation and study of the social program must be made by the new Senate next year, he said.
