Runoff balloting for freshman president, vice-president, and foreign student representative wiil be polled tomorrow and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Alumni park as no candidate for the offices received a majority of the ballots cast during the initial voting.
A total of 426 votes were cast when the polls were closed at 4 p.m.,” Jim Lucostic, elections commissioner said, “but none of the top two candidates for each office received the necessary majority.”
Second-round candidates for freshman president are Don Davis and Jack Forney. Davis held a slight 5 vote lead after the initial balloting. Gretchen Dockweiler and Linda Ruddy are the two remaining office seekers for the vice-presidential post.
Foreign student representative candidates in the runoff are Satinder Kumar Verms, who received 27 votes, and John Andrews. 31 votes.
The election of a foreign student representative will mark the first time international students have had a seat in the ASSC Senate. SC is the first university in the country to give representation in student government directly to foreign students, said Chukuemeka Okeke, president of the International club.
There are approximately 350 international students on campus but only 78 of these cast their votes for their representatives.
“A special representative for the international students in the senate is a great progressive step and is now up to the visiting students to take advantage of the fine opportunity,” he said.
There is plenty of time to vote between classes, because it only takes a few minutes, said Lucostic.
Students are reminded that they must bring their ID cards to the polls in order to vote.
The 425 vote total topped last year’s total of 315, Lucostic said.
Tabulated vote returns were as follows:
President	Heacock, Jane	81
Davis. Don	115 Moore, Ann	15
Ruddy, Linda •	169
Shields, Ron	41
Forney. Jack	110 Stone, Audrey	08

Eleven ballots were void and Madgwick, Patricia	14
two were blank.	Andrews, John	31
Vice-president	Verma. Satinder Kumar 27
Dockweiler, Gretchen	93 Six ballots were void.
THESE SCENES WERE TYPICAL of campus life in a growing college a few years after SC was founded in 1880. The Class of 1889 (left) was graduated in the year that the university proposed establishment of an astronomical observatory on Mt. Wilson. The SI00,00 project failed. In 1884 the cornerstone for the Old College (above) was
laid, with the surrounding areas still being tilled as farm land. Troy first took on the appearance of a college campus shortly after the first unit of Old College was completed. This building was still in use until five years ago, when it was tom down to make way for the present ultra-modem Founders Hall.

University Nears Four Decades of Steady Growth
Today is Founders day. Seventy-three years ago in the “midst of a vast stretch of uncultivated plain covered with a rank growth of wild mustard” the first cornerstone of the University of Southern California was laid.
That first building was a lonely object, standing nearly three miles from the then sleepy little town of Los Angeles, and only 50 students were greeted by. the 10 professors on opening day, a far-cry from the enrollment of today.
Except for the depression years SC has witnessed a steady growth. The present Administration building was completed under the administration of President George F. Bovard. The School of Law, the women’s residence hall, and Aeneas hall were completed in 1926, and in 1928 the first unit of Science hall was finished.
In the last 25 years 14 buildings have been added to the campus, in addition to numerous barracks, from the Student Union in 1928 to Founders hall in 1950.
Nor has construction stopped yet.
Even now plans to close University avenue and plant it in grass are being put into operation in order to turn SC into a country campus once again.
SC has come a long way in 73 years, and the dreams of he? founders are only just beginning o be realized.
