The new nameplate which ap-ars for the first time on this I ue was designed to give the DT | hat sleek, smooth look that lias «‘oome so popular in newspaper ! at“les.
You will notice that the words uthem California are changed o script and the words Daily Tro-n are changed from script to lock print. The words Daily Tro- I n have been spread apart so I .t they do not encroach on the ie university seal which forms the alter of the nameplate.
The new nameplate was designed j Ralph Johnstone, an SC in-;tor in design and widely wn advertising designer. He has many awards in national art I rector shows.
The new university teel which ,
RALPH JOHNSTONE , . . sleek touch
was recently adopted by the university trustees is a “cleaned-up” \ersion of the old seal. Tlie torches have been shortened and the shape of the shield changed slightly.
Before 1908 the seal was a simple uncolored circle enclosing a palm tree and a tablet bearing the date 1880 (the date SC was founded*.
Jesse Ray Miller, 08. designed the seal in 1908 from a pencil sketch given him by Warren Bovard, nephew of SC's first president.
The motto of Lord Nelson, “Pal-mam qui meruit ferat,” was adopted by the miiversity at that time and added to the seal. The motto when translated literally means “Let him bear the palm who merits it.” The three torches, the California poppies. and the setting sun were also adopted at this time and incorporated into the new seal.
Charges Rise Over Possible Election Fraud
by Phil Adamsak and
John Eccleston
Protests against the Senate’s summary approval Monday of the ASSC elections mounted swiftly yesterday as disenchanted students circulated petitions of non-confidence and representatives of both parties met with the Faculty committee to thrash out details of the disputed contest.
Petitions began circulating yesterday morning, calling for reconsideration of the Senate’s decision to approve the elections.
Sheet after sheet, some said to include the names of high-level Row politicos, was turned in to Andy Anderman, president of Casa de Rcsas, who had accumulated more than 1300 signatures in 3 hours for presentation to the Faculty committee.
PLEA BACKED Anderman lent emphasis to his plea before the Faculty committee with the petitions and a number of signed statements which enumerated irregularities in the voting procedure.
Both Row and Unity forces formed tight little huddles prior to the Faculty committee meeting for the purpose of mapping out conference strategy.
Omar Kureishi, shrewd captain of Unity ranks, indicated that he would not attend the meeting, but conferred with Jack Shaffer, Andy Anderman. Frank O’Sullivan, and other Unity members.
Meanwhile, a hush-hush Row policy meeting was called ln the ASSC president’s office in the afternoon just before the crucial confab.
CONFEREES SEEN
Seen going in and out of the conference room were Bill McGurty, Bill Bretz, George Woods, Dean Lierle, Howard Kotler, Parnell Curry. Dave Saunders, Bob Flower, Cal Schmidt, and Johnny Davis.
The Faculty committee meeting itself turned out to be a wide-open affair.
Prof. Sydney Duncan, chairman, allowed all students who wanted to voice opinions to enter the conference room.
“The only i;aestion this committee will consider.” Professor Duncan said, “is whether there is a sufficient degree of fraudulent voting to warrant an investigation.” Charges and countercharges flew as the discussion became more heated, and only timely intervention by Professor Duncan prevented degeneration of the meeting to a name-calling contest. On more than one occasion, Professor Duncan’s quips dulled the edge of verbal thrusts and cooled rising tempers.
Bill Stevens, stoutly defending a no-action position, clashed with Unitymen Shaffer and Anderman several times.
Shaffer demanded sweeping investigation of all phases of the election. He recommended matching ballots and ID cards, comparing total school votes with the university presidential total, and he outlined a plan to contact all listed voters and ask them if they had voted.
Bob Flower, Senate investigating committeeman, condemned the Shaffer plan and indicated that he would only consider a survey of the ballots.
Late last night, no decision was forthcoming from the Faculty committee.
Election Mix Told Faculty
by Harvey Edwards
Denials, accusations, and counter-charges echoed through President Fagg's conference room as Row and Unity representatives explained the “fraudulent vote” charge to the Faculty committee.
Johnny Davis, ASSC president, admitted that the election was “sloppily handled,” blaming “the new and unfamiliar procedure used. There was cheating, minor, but no wholesale ballot manipulations,” Davis said.
“I consider the matter closed. I’m leaving tomorrow with the president-elect for Sun Valley,” he added.

KTRO Airs Senate Notes
Station KTRO last night broadcast a resume of Monday’s hot election meeting in the Senate. The program, scheduled for 15 minutes, aroused enough interest to be extended to 25 minutes.
Marvin Lester, prelaw head of station relations, reported the event, and received a lively response in phone calls and letters.
Dean Lierle, station manager, stated that the purpose of the broadcast was to familiarize students with KTRO as a news source, and that on-the-spot Senate news will be attempted in the future.

Senate Agrees On Change in ASSC Voting
Proving that all is not, darkness and discord. ASSC Senate members Monday afternoon agreed that a majority vote would be necessary for the future election of all ASSC officers.
By a vote of 24-6, the Senate discarded the old system of electing representatives by a plurality vote.
Sharp disagreement was voiced, however, by Don Evans and Larry Bub. senators-at-large. and Dave Saunders, senior class president.
Election by majority vote would necessitate run-off elections and take up too much of the students’ time, they said.
“For some reason, one particular group seems to be afraid of majority election,’’ said Milt Dobkin, former parliamentarian of the group and defeated candidate last year for ASSC president, in a speech advocating majority election.
“To the argument that we spend too much time on elections. I say we might benefit if we would spend as much time on the issues and on the elections as we spend on social affairs,” he said.
Dobkin and Grafton Tanquary, AMS president and member of the Senate's special election committee, stated that the new system would eliminate much of the present dissension in student politics.
Tanquary said that IBM machine? would be used to count next year's ballots, thus cutting in half the time spent on elections.
At the special session which was called to approve election results, Wayne Chiappe. engineering president. opposed majority vote as entailing too many run-offs.
“I believe the majority has spoken in the past and does so right now,” he said.
Fourteen awards were given to Trojans, and new members of Knights, Squires, Blue Key, and Skull and Dagger were tapped.
The Order of the Palm for the outstanding graduating senior was awarded to Grafton Tanquary by Dr. Bernard L. Hyink, newly appointed Dean of Students.
The award is based on student activities, scholarship, athletics, and community contribution.
ATHLETES NAMED Five athletes, one from each of t.he five major sports, received Scrolls of Honor for meritorious achievement. Willis O. Hunter, director of intercollegiate athletics, made the presentations to Don Doll, football; Bill Sharman, basketball; Wally Wolf, swimming; Art Mazmanian, baseball; and Mel Patton, track.
Three additional Scrolls of Honor for outstanding contributions to students activities were awarded to John Davis, Don Doll, and Bob
Padgett.
Don Doll received the Gimble award. It is given the athlete who has displayed the best attitude in intercollegiate competition.
PATTON PICKED The Trojaneer Diamond award was given to Mel Patton for displaying outstanding physical skill,
! courage, and intellectual ability in | competition. Arnold Eddy, general manager of associated students and executive director of the Alumni association made the award.
The outstanding men’s organiza-j tion was tabbed as the Trovets.
Frank O'Sullivan, president of the i group, received the award for the organization.

Still more technological advancement is going to displace SC labor.
The man with the stick with the nail on the end was disconsolate yesterday.
“I’ve had a pretty sharp job here,’’ he said. He neatly speared a wind-blown lunch bag. “I hear they’re going to get more of those b 1 a n k e t y blank trash cans though.”
Elton D. Phillips, university business manager, confirmed the statement yesterday.
“We have a dozen or so swing-top trash receptacles on order,’’ he said. “It takes about three weeks for them to get here and we ordered them about a week ago.”
“Phooey,” the man with the stick said when he heard tiie news. He stuffed a crumpled DT in his sack.
i “I'll bet the students use them too. They’re real easy to operate,” he said as he lashed out blindly at a vagrant ice cream wrapper.
“Yipe!” a coed yelled.
“Oooops,” the man with the stick said. “Wrong bag.”
IR Day Fete Opens Today
IFC Imposes Fines On Row Watermen
The Los Angeles division of water and power wasn’t responsible for it, but water bills for three fraternity houses hit a new high yesterday afternoon when the Interfraternity council meted out $25 fines as punishment for the recent Row hosing incident.
Delta Chi, Kappa Sigma, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon were the fraternities assessed by the IFC at yesterday’s meeting.
The IFC decision was taken into the Student Affairs committee meeting for ratification yesterday afternoon, and the committee approved the fines and said that it would “observe” any further developments.
The fines were levied against the three houses as punishment for the
dousing of opera-goer John Koke and his wife, who were shortcutting through the Row on their way to the Shrine auditorium Apr. 27.
Plans to land $l-per-head fines against the three fraternities were scuttled in favor of the flat $25 fine by the IFC for two reasons. House bills for this month had already been paid and some houses would have been unable to collect from those members who do not legularly attend the weekly meetings.
