Referendum On Red' Ban Gets the Ax
ASSC President Ken Del Conte dealt a death blow yesterday to the campus “free speech petition" circulated by the Trojan Democratic Club (TDC).
Del Conte said he would not call a special session of the Executive Cabinet to schedule a referendum election on the matter despite claims by TDC President Glen Mowrer that such a refusal is in conflict with the ASSC Constitution.
Mowrer asserted that the more than 900 signatures on the petition are about 100 more than are required for necessitating calling of such an election within three weeks.
Del Conte claimed there was not enough time left in the semester for the student
vote.
He also reminded Mowrer that many of the persons who signed the petition this year will not be registered students in the fall and a new petition might have to be taken.
“This action of Del Conte’s shows a complete disregard for his duties as the elected representative of the student body,” Mowrer charged. “The question is not whether he personally approves or disa proves but whether he will fulfill his responsibilities to the ASSC Constitution and allow students their right of referendum.” he said.
Del Conte has repeatedly told Mowrer in their conversation, “I’m against Communists.” and expressed the view that the “free speech petition” would exclude Communists who had not registered from appearing on campus.
The TDC president noted that either the invalid names for next semester will be determined or the petition will be circulated again.
He said he will discuss plans at a TDC meeting today at 3:15 in 106 FH.
Mowrer contended that the signatures of more than 900 students collected in a week-(Continued on Page A2

Delt Officers Ready House For Opening
WATCH THE TV BIRDIE
Tri-Delts, Betas Beat 16 Entrants
Election of new officers and $3,000 worth of house improvements have paved the way for the re-opening of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity on Sept. 1, new Vice President Steve Rivers, said yesterday.
Three days of conferences between university officials, local alumni and a national representative of the Delts resulted in the official closing of the fraternity on April for a re-evaluation of its ideas, laws and attitudes.
The success of the five-month program will guarantee no university restrictions on the fraternity’s rush and social functions, Rivers explained.
Officers
New officers, elected to a one-year term, include Russ Sherman, president; Rivers, president; Gary Primrose. treasurer; Dick Fenton, social chairman; John Labru-sherie, pledge trainer; and John Kruger, house manager.
The closing of the 63-man house, located at 919 W. Adams Blvd., was sparked by an unpetitioned, unchaperoned social event.
Conditions agreed upon for the re-opening included the expulsion of “undesirable elements.” appointment of an alumni adviser to attend IFC meetings, completion of repairs on the fraternity house as recommended by fire inspectors and the established of an Alumni Advisory Committee.
