CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES
Voters Will Decide Fate Of Grade, Finance Bills
By VIRGINIA BODIN Elections Reporter
Trojans will cast ballots to-,day from 10 to 4 in front of Tommy Trojan on two constitutional amendments approved by the ASSC Senate Tuesday-night.
The amendments are a change |in the gradc-point requirement for running for student offices and a transfer of financial investigatory powers over campus organizations to the Senate.
The first amendment would change the grade-point require ment from the all-university average, 2.63, to a 2.5 average for all ASSC Executive Cabinet posts, senatorial seats and fields-of-study officers.
Supporters of the grade-point amendment claim that because the requirement would be lowered, more students would be able to run for offices.

Applications to End For Camp Leaders
A 21-year old “Hellion” who has spent more than of the campaign.
three-fourths of her student life serving others was distinguished yesterday as the seventh “Helen of Troy.”
Miss Dianne Riley, co-chairman of Songfest and Troy Camp, has given time and energy to more than 30 organizations during her university career.
President of Alpha Chi Omega sorority, the “Hellion”
—a tag she received last year at the AWS awards assembly—is also a member of Amazons; Senior Class Council; Theta Sigma Phi, professional journalism fraternity for women; and secretary of the International Students House.

He explained that although the university’s hard driving professors have curdled the blood of many a student, the same revered instructors seem a trifle reluctant to contribute their blood to the Red Cross.

But applications from students interested in these opportunities, must be made by tomorrow, Janet Harris, head women’s counselor, announced yesterday Students should file their applications for the weeklong job by 4:30 in 233 SU.
Troy Camp runs from Aug. 24 through 31 in the San Jacinto Mountains near Idlewild.
“We need student counselors, to supervise and take charge of swimming. horseback riding, crafts, nature hikes, photography and devotions, Miss Harri3 said.
“Counselors are also needed for archery, storytelling and campfires,” she said. “All in all, we need 11 men and women counselors to supervise and instruct the 120 deserving children attending the camp.”

Philosopher Links Poets To College
Universities afford the poet an intellectual atmosphere where he may feel at home, Dr. Louis Hammer, assistant professor of philosophy, explained yesterday at a Presbyterian-Episco pal Center discussion.
“But even so,” noted Dr. Hammer, “there is not a big enough emphasis on contempo rary poetry in the American university."
To understand the direction contemporary poetry has taken, one must question whether it is read from the same view’ as the older and classic works. Dr. Hammer explained.
“English poetry seems to be close to English tradition, isolated from continental influence.
is not necessary, but would be helpful, she said.
Troy Camp is a summer camp for underprivileged chil dren completely supported and conducted by USC students, Miss Harris explained.
“Only the most deserving children between the ages of 8 and 12 w’ho meet the camp’s qualifications are selected,” she added.
Last year nearly half of the 120 youngsters were selected by the Eastside Boys Club, while the others came from elementary schools in the USC neighborhood.

“Anglo-American tradition,” Dr, Hammer continued, “tends to be poetry of direct statement. The poet talks about his experience. He often must use formal features, meter, alliteration and rhyme to make clear the poem's difference from prose.

A breakthrough in heart surgery and successful experiments in treatments for arteriosclerosis were reported yesterday by two School of Medicine professors.
Dr. Jerome H. Kay, dissociate professor of Surgery, told the Los Angeles County Heart Association Midwinter Symposium that he has repaired heart conditions formerly considered fatal, while Dr. Robert D. Solomon, associate clinical professor of pathology, described his experiments on animals.
Aortas Repaired
Dr. Kay said he was able to successfully repair ruptured aortas by inserting dacron tubes in the damaged areas. He used a heart-lung machine to perform the operations.
The patients, both men, now have normal blood pressure and are doing well, Dr. Kay said.
He estimated that the condition occurs as often as once every three weeks in the Los Angeles area. He explained that the condition is associated with a congenital weakness of body tissue known as Marfan’s syndrome.
Hardening of Arteries Dr. Solomon reported Uiat he experimentally produced arteriosclerotic lesions — hard ening of the arteries—in rabbits, chickens and pigeons showed “remarkable healing” when the animals were given chemical agents that interfer-red with the synthesis of cholesterol in the body.
