Spring Rush Attracts 175 For Pledging
IFC vAide Expects Totals Will Rise In Extended Rush
By JIM PERRY
USC’s fraternities pledged 175 new men for the spring semester, IFC Adviser Jess Hill Jr. announced yesterday.
The total was about equal to last year’s spring figure and "pretty good,” according to Hill, after the large number who pledged in the fall. There were 478 pledges last semester, the largest figure since just after World War II.
“This total should rise be cause we expect five or six houses to go on extended rush. Hill said. He explained that houses which don’t have 35 members can apply for extended rush, which can continue all semester.
Sigs Get 19
Sigma Chi led the list of fraternities with 19 pledges. Beta Theta Pi and Kappa Alpha each added 14 prospective members.
Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon both pledged 11, while Zeta Beta Tau was fourth with 10 pledges.
Six houses registered gains of eight each. They were Delta Tau Delta, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Kappa Tau, Phi Sigma Kappa and Theta Chi.
Tau Epsilon Phi pledged seven and Tau Delta Phi gained six pledges.
Five fraternities registered five members each. These houses included Delta Chi, Lambda Chi Alpha. Sigma Alpha Mu. Sigma Phi Delta and Theta Xi.
Alpha Tau Omega pledged three men, while Alpha Rho Chi and Sigma Phi Epsilon ad ded two men.
Alpha Epsilon Pi. Delta Sigma Phi and Tau Kappa Epsi Ion signed one each.
Late Registration
Hill added that anyone who failed to sign yesterday could come in before 4 this afternoon for late registration.
Dave Hepburn, IFC member-at-large, pointed out there is a new trend toward pledging lower-division students on the part of the fraternities.
“The trend is to get lower-division students because of the constant turnover. They have a chance to do more for the house,” Hepburn said.
By way of example, Hepburn disclosed that 75 per cent of the new pledges were sophomores and second semester freshmen. There were no seniors among the spring pledges.
QUEEN JANET TO REIGN FROM 'DERBY' TO 'GROVE'
Janet Harris will receive one of her most colorful Queen for a Day prizes today as a gold Chrysler carries her through a full day of activities planned for her by the Queen for a Day staff.

Miss Harris will be met by chauffeur and Chrysler today at 9:30 at the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority house. She will be wisked to Max Factor’s for hair set and glamorization.
After lunching at tb.e Brown Derby she will be taken on a tour of the Warner Bros. set. She will then visit the Knickerbocker Hotel in Hollywood for a “siesta or swim,” and will have dinner and see the show at the Cocoanut Grove, where Bobby Darin is now appearing.
Miss Harris chose today because she has no classes. Her sister, also a member of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, will accompany her on the first part of the trip, and head men’s counselor for Troy camp, Steve Mauro, will escort Miss Harris to dinner.
“I’m so excited,” Miss Harris said yesterday.
“I can’t believe any of this yet.” She said th.at with . the $700 from Queen for a day, if the grants and pledges come through there will be enough Troy Camp money.
“We really appreciate the support we have been given,” she said, “and we hope many students will join the rewarding experience of counseling and working with these children.”

125 Put Life Into Campus Blood Drive
Publicity Director Needles Trojans, Seeks More Aid
It doesn’t really take courage to be a blood donor —just a few minutes.
That was the gist of what Mark Burnstein, Blood Drive publicity director, had to say yesterday following the opening of donor sign ups.
“There were 125 who signed up today,” he said, “which is pretty good figure. But we hope to get at least 600 donors during the drive.’ ’
Sign Ups Students and faculty mem bers may sign up through next Monday in front of the Student Union. They may also register during the donation Deriod itself, March 5 through 8.
Burnstein explained donation procedures in an attempt to dispel any fears that prospec tive blood donors might possess.
"Donors will get a brief physical first, checking pulse, blood pressure and blood type, plus a set of questions to be answered,” he said. ‘ ‘Doctors will determine if a person is capable of giving blood by these tests.
“There is no pain to it,” Burnstein added. “In fact the person’s normal activities don’t have to be restricted after giving blood. There is weakness.”
Post Exercise Burnstein did concede that it wouldn’t be advisable to go out of the office and run 50 miles.
“There will also be free coffee and doughnuts afterwards,” Burnstein said. "The real advantage in giving blood, however, is that either the person or his family may draw an this blood immediately, without red tape.
"Otherwise, if a person needs blood, relatives may have to pay for it right away and go through red tape,” he said.
"Giving blood is really like getting an insurance policy,” he continued.
Burnstein complained of past USC drives, where the total of donors fell below hopes.
"UCLA goes all out on their blood drive,” he said. "It’s pity USC can’t. The goal over at UCLA is 1,300 pints.”

By PONCHITTA PIERCE Assistant to the Editor
Bronwyn Anthony Emery, a 21-year-old senior who leads four lives as Mortar Board vice president, varsity debater, wife and student, yesterday was announced as the fifth Helen of Troy.
Since her freshman year, the new “Helen” has brought numerous honors to the university through her skill in public speaking.
Her latest achievement came during semester break with a first place win in oral interpretation at the Rocky Mountain Speech Conference in Denver, COlo.
In addition to many “excellent” and “superior” ratings during her debating career, the married coed in her junior year placed first in impromptu speaking at the Western States Tournament in Fresno. In her sophomore year she took second place in debate at the Western States Tourney in Corvallis, Ore.
As a freshman she captured first place in extemporaneous speaking at the Spring Championship at UCLA and teamed with her partner, Lacy Moes, to win a Gold Medal at the Los Angeles City College Debate Tournament.
The debater lists warmth, information and audience speaker rapport as the qualities of a good speaker.
“Debate is not the stereotype, arm-waving oratory that we usually picture,” she explained. “Instead you communicate with Individuals with whom you must establish rapport through warmth and by always having them—as an audience—in mind.”
Mrs. I&nery, who holds a 3.3 grade average, has been on a university forensic service scholarship since coming to USC. She is also recipient of an Ebell scholarship award.
“Bronwyn is a very energetic and radiant student.” comments John Fraiser, assistant director of forensics and varsity debate coach.
“She possesses an independent and sharp mind and her attitude toward university activities and life in general is one of healthy optimism.”
As vice president of Mortar Board, the attractive coed last semester was in charge of Troeds, a group of freshmen women who meet to become better acquainted with the university and with each other.
This semester she will replace Troeds activity by co-chairing the newly organized “Freshmen Forum.”
“Through the forum, freshmen men and women will have a structured opportunity to interchange ideas by discussing various topics and the problems they face as individuals, citizens and students,” she explained.
The hazel-eyed blonde says her greatest interest is her husband, Cedric Emery, a first - year medical student.
Mrs. Emery, who has been married for a year, commented that marriage is not all “romantic love.”
“More importantly, it is a love that demands giving of yourself,” she explained.
She also observed that in marriage the husband and wife should still retain their individual interests and responsibilities.
“So many young married couples are insecure and try to hold on to or possess each other to the point where it becomes stifling,” she said.
An English major, the fifth of 1963’s “10 Helens” is a member of Chimes and Zeta Phi Eta, national speech arts sorority. In her junior year she also served as vice president of Harris Plaza.
Mrs. Emery was graduated from John Marshall High School where she received membership in Ephe-bians and was awarded the “Outstanding Student Award” from California Savings and Loan Association.
The meeting in dispute was held last Wednesday by 14 regular members of the Senate and one proxy who was never recognized during the meeting. The group, which didn’t quite qualify as a Senate quorum according to the ASSC Constitution, approved an ASSC Constitutional amendment by an unknown number of those present, rather than the two-thirds required.
2.5 Average The amendment, if upheld by the whole Senate and approved by the student body in special election Thursday, will lower the grade-point average needed by candidates from the all-university average to a 2.5 average.
ASSC President Bart Leddel, AMS President Hal Stokes, Elections Commissioner Dick Messer and Assistant Dean of Students Tom Hull will be on hand tonight to “get the facts of the last meeting and to discuss the actual need for the amendment.”
Leddel said a special election would not be called until the validity of the Senate meeting had been determined. He explained that a vote of an actual Senate quorum would be the best way of solving the problem.
President Confers He explained that he asked Senate President Barbara Shell to call the meeting after a conference Thursday with Dean of Students William H. McGrath.
Messer explained that if the amendment is passed, petitioning for student government offices would have to be extended until Monday to give potential candidates who qualify under the amendment a chance to petition.
The present deadline is either Thursday or Friday at 4, depending on whether Messer or Leddel is the one asked.
The supporters of the amendment, which was introduced at the disputed meeting by Senate Secretary Dianne George, maintain that the best leaders are not always those who achieve high grade-point averages, but those who are willing to give their time for an activity.
Troy Wins Top Ratings In Debates
Students File To Participate In Campaigns
By VIRGINIA BODIN Elections Reporter
Fifteen candidates yesterday added their names to the growing list of petitioners for student government offices. Elections Commissioner Dick Messer announced.
“We’ve had more petitions today than ever before,” he said after processing the petitions. “People are finally making up their minds to run.” Grade Point
