El Rodeo Out Soon
Distribution of the 1952 El Rodeo will begin Wednesday morning at the ticket office, second floor Student Union, according to Editor Fred Harper.
Copies may be obtained by presenting activity books only during the first part of distribution.
The theme of the yearbook is “Progress." The last two yearbooks employed the themes “Expansion,” and “Look Ahead.”
The 1952 theme combines the J said.
Al Gallion Wins Runoff For Yell King
Al Gallion defeated Al Pizzo yesterday in the yell king runoff by a plurality of 2l0 votes and a majority of 2 votes. Gallion, running with TRG backing, compiled 445 ballots and Pizzo collected 244.
Write-in Moffat Hancock. School of Law professor of contracts, received 197 votes mostly from law students. He is ineligible for the student body post because he is not carrying 12 units.
Twenty-one other ballots were void.
Gallion told the Daily Trojan he will live up to his campaign promises and "make the university rock with spirit.” He also thanked all those who worked and voted for him.
When the results were first announced yesterday afternoon by Elections Commissioner Jim Schuck, Pizzo supporters asked for a recount on grounds of the slim majority. However, they reversed their stand after confer-ing with Pizzo.
Schuck was greatly relieved when the counting finally came to an end. The one-hour session in the Senate chambers yesterday concluded the annual student body elections which this year was spread over six days.
Primaries were held Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of last week and five runoffs were conducted this Monday and Tuesday. Because the original yell king battle was declared void by the ASSC Senate, the contest was run a-fresh Monday and Tuesday.
The first yell king election was rescheduled after Schuck had disqualified Gallion, Mel Baron, and Bob Imel for lack of sufficient units. The Senate reversed his decision.
Schuck thanked the elections commissioners who worked so hard during the voting and ballot counting.

two latest ideas to show the progress of the university and gives a general over-all picture of SC since its founding in 1880, Harper said.
The book contains some of the oldest pictures of the school and compares them with photos of the campus as it is now.
A peek into the 448-page book reveals that the introductory pages are composed of montages containing selected scenes of campus life.
Harper, in speaking of last year's El Rodeo, said, “It is impossible to compare the 1952 publication with the last one as they have entirely different themes, makeup, and copy style.”
During recent years a lot has been done to make the elections efficient and equitable to all candidates, he said.
DT Finale Deadline Set
Stories for this semester’s final DT must be handed in to the city room, 432 Student Union, by 5 p.m. today.
Friday and Monday will be the last two papers published: Monday’s DT will be a special allpicture edition.

her student interest should lulated in the Alumni as-ion's affairs.” Casey added, ve already discussed some of problems with Arnold Eddy, director of the General association, and further are being planned.
“As far as university issues out-i side student-body jurisdiction are concerned.” Casey explained, “spe-i cial student committees are ex-I pected to be appointed to inves-| tigate the issues, and recommendations will be forwarded to the proper parties.”
Pointing out thc need for a better coordinated program between international and United States j students. Casey said he hopes to
arouse the type of interest that
would help make the foreign students feel at home at SC and partake with equal interest in the student-body activities.
One of the rare souls* who were born and bred within the Los Angeles city limits, 20-year-old Casey was graduated from Los Angeles high school in 1949. In his senior year, he reigned as student body president and senior class president.
SC was a natural choice for Casey. Both his parents were graduated from SC around 1921.
“Grandma (on mother’s side) is also an SC graduate,” Casey added, “not to mention a half dozen or more uncles, aunts, and cousins who are among SC's alurr*ii.”
Casey is a member of Trojan Knights. Blue Key, and is a Blackstonian. A senator-at-large, he also held minor offices in his fraternity.
"I would like to thank all those people who worked so hard in the election,” Casey said appreciatively. “The elections officials should receive special commendation for their conscientious efforts. To all the voters and the entire student body, I express my deepest gratitude for the opportunity they have given me to represent them. I sincerely hope that next year-will see a high-spirited student body working in harmony for the greatest good of the university as a whole.’*
It’s Will Shakespeare Tonight ★ ★ ★ ★ ★★★★ Cast All Set for Curtain Raiser
The drama department “goes Shakespeare” at 8:30 tonight in Bovard auditorium with the opening of the five-act comedy, “Twelfth Night,” under the direction of Frank Reicher. lecturer in drama.
Presenting the first , Shakespearean play in the history of SC’s drama department, the cast of 27 will go through four more performances — tomorrow, Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday nights —all beginning at 8:30.
Heading the cast, 18 of whom have speaking parts, will be Chuck Charter, Sebastian; Edward Earle, Feste the clown; Nat-Good-win. Sir Toby Belch; Barbara Hudson, Viola; Pat Madgwick Olivia; John Manlove, Duke Or-sino; Jim Norcop, Sir Andrew Ag-uecheek; Virginia Reck, Maria; and Jesse Swan, Malvolio.
Act I of the five-act drama opens with the tragic separation of twins Sebastian and Viola in a shipwreck. Viola is cast upon the shores of Illyria, an area bordering on the eastern Adriatic.
Viola, in the guise of a young man, wins a friend in Duke Or-sino, one of the gentry of Illyria, who appoints her as page and sends her to persuade the Lady Olivia to marry him. But as the curtain rings down on the first act, the first of a series of awkward situations finds Olivia having fallen in love with Viola.
Olivia, now deeply infatuated with Viola, sends gifts to the page to express her affection. The amours become more cornpli-cated, however, when Viola falls in love with her master, the Duke Orsino.
Malvolio, Olivia’s steward, caps off the action of Act II by allowing his affections to make him the butt of a practical joke. Having uncovered Viola’s guise, he falls under her charms while she is emissary at Lady Olivia’s chateau. His co-servants fake a love note to give him, and. believing it is from Viola, his consequent actions in Act III heighten the entanglement.
After Malvolio has flitted through several scenes in his amorous mood. Olivia, thinking he is a lunatic, has him put away.
Following Olivia’s suing for Viola’s hand in marriage, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, one of Olivia’s former lovers, challenges Viola to a duel. The farcical contest is stopped in time, however, by the intercession of a troop of officers.
Act IV reintroduces the lost Sebastian. Sir Andrew, thinking that Sebastian is Viola, renews the feud, but is severly beaten.
Her marriage proposal still pending, Olivia is accepted by Sebastian who has fallen in love with her. After being secretly married, Sebastian leaves Olivia temporarily. Olivia encounters Viola in the company of Duke Orsino and, thinking she is Sebastian, addresses her as her husband.
The duke fumes at this believing that Viola has been courting Olivia for her own interests rather* than his. Sebastian comes to the rescue, however, arriving upon the confused scene and clearing up the whole affair.
He reassures his sister Viola that he is still alive, marries Olivia, and witnesses th* sudden, growing love betweer/ the duke and Viola.
Justice is done as, in the end, Malvolio is released from the insane asylum.
Working closely with Director Reicher in readying the Shakespearian comedy is Associate Director Dr. Herbert M. Stahl, associate professor of drama. Stage sets are being handled by Marcus Fuller and lighting by Bill White.
Tickets, priced at $1 for orchestra scats and 50 cents for balcony seats, are being sold at the university ticket office, second floor, Student Union, and by students of the drama department. Activity book holders will be admitted free.
SC’s students, all ten thousand of them, will be asked to help rescue the sinking Trojan Chest tomorrow in a special “Trojan Chest Dollar Day.”
Renewed classroom collections will be held with a group of 30 prominent students speaking in 10 o’clock classes. Trojan Knights yesterday pledged to |-
aid in the collections and Trojan Squires are expected to lend their support today.
The Chest drive, a combined charities appeal for Troy Camp,
YWCA, World Students Service fund, YMCA, Red Cross, and March of Dimes, fell some $6000 short of its $10,000 goal.
It is of special importance that the goal be reached, since $5000 is needed to continue Troy Camp.
The camp for underprivileged children, a project which no other university student body undertakes, receives 50 per cent of the mcney collected by the Chest drive.
Money Source
Additional money for the drive may be forthcoming this afternoon when the six-man Senate committee handling the emergency measures asks the IFC to recon-
Speakers to Meet at Noon
The following student speakers for “Trojan Chest Dollar Day” are asked to meet today for a special briefing meeting at 12 in 418 Student Union:
Ann Dillon, Dot Fucci, Joan Field, Lois Stone, Janet MacLeod, Nancy Ridgeway, Bob Jansen, Don DuBose, Stan Charnofsky, Hal Charnofsky, Alden McKelvey, Dean Schneider, Pat Cannamela, Jack Schlarb, Jack Davis. Jack Owen, George Gonzales, Wendell Casey, Bob Hitchcock, Stan Tomlinson, Ted Todd, Mohinder Bedi, Larry Spector, Dick Van Laanan, Dean Pic’l, Bob Erburu, Chuck Kelly, Tony Taylor, John W. Bradley, Ken Flower, and Bob Mitchell.
sider a decision not to pledge $1 per man in each fraternity for the Trojan Chest.
The dollar contributions, the amount being asked of all students by the committee to put the drive over the top, would net $1600 from the fraternities if the plan is adopted by the IFC. Sororities pledged $3 per woman for the first Trojan Chest drive.
Classroom Stress
Several other money raising plans for tomorrow still are under consideration but the committee feels the primary emphasis should be put on the classroom collections. All students approached to speak have accepted.
The committee feels that through the classroom collections, and that method only, the great majority of the student body who did not give to the Chest during the first drive can be reached and drive successfully concluded.
The special committee is composed of Bob Mitchell. AMS president; Larry Spector, Greater-University committee chairman; Chuck Kelly, IFC president; Tony Taylor. Homecoming chairman; Ted Todd, Trojan Chest chairman; and Bob Erburu, DT editor and committee chairman.

Briton to Air Middle East Problems
The current crisis in the Middle East will be discussed by Paul Gore-Booth, the director-general of the British Information service in the United States at 3:15 p.m. today in 133 Founders hall.
Gore-Booth. top man in the U.S. concerned with British affairs, arrived in Los Angeles this morning from his office in Washington, D.C.
Ross Berkes, acting director of the School of International Relations, which is sponsoring the talk, said that Gore-Booth’s message is one that should be of interest to most students and faculty members.	v
Gore-Booth, -now completing a nationwide speaking 'engagement, is well versed in his field. He joined the British foreign office in 1933 and held posts in Tokyo and Vienna. He was appointed to the British embassy in Washington in 1942, and has also been a member of British delegations to numerous conferences.
He was a member of delagations to the San Francisco United Nations conference 1n 1945 and the Japanese Peace conference in 1951. Gore-Booth also has represented Britian on the UN Economic and Social council. He took up his present post in November, 1949.
Women Protest Food In Dormitory Walkout
EVK and University hall women just “got fed up with the lousy food,” they said, and last night 152 of the 200 residents failed to show up for dinner in what was called a mass meal protest.
One hundred women regularly eat dinner at EVK. Last night five of them showed up, it was reported. Three of them were dormitory sponsors, and the other two reportedly had no other choice. They were low in finances to (he tur.e of 65 cents.
Of the 100 University hall women, 44 were in attendance at dinner.
The 152 women from the two dormitories went elsewhere “to get a good meal,” they said, in hope their walkout would bring “better food soon.”
Sad Sit nut ion
Many of the women who reside in the two dormitories had disdainful stories to relate.
One of them revealed she was feeling ill, and when she went to her doctor, he told her she wasn’t getting enough green leafy vegetables. In an attempt to ameliorate the situation, she appealed to the dormitory officials who said they couldn’t do anything about it.
They told her “it’s such a problem to feed so many people,” she said. “Many of the girls have decided to move elsewhere next semester,” she added.
Who Knows?
When Miss Lucy Lataillade. head resident at EVK, was asked what happened, why, and what was being done, she replied, “I don’t know why, and we aren't doing anything.”
I
Miss Molly Sheean, president of EVK. who called the DT at Miss Lataillade’s request, reported the walkout was “just for the heck of it.”
Tempermental Cow*
One of the women who walked out said the protest was mostly against three days of “spoiled milk.” She said that dormitory officials calmly explained that the milk was spoiled "because the food was changed on the cows. The spring food was switched to summer food.”
She went on to say that “The food isn’t good enough. There's too little meat, too much bread and not enough vegetables. They don’t spend the money wisely. Instead of putting the money into the, meat, they put musbroorro in the gravy to make it taste'good.”
Following a four-year campaign to establish a perpetual fund, Trovets announced its first scholarship winner yesterday.
Richard Steiner, senior student of Chula Vista high school, was declared winner of the Trovet Living War Memorial honor by Larry Courtney, president. Steiner will enter SC in the fall.
Fund Grows
The fund was established in 1938 for sons of members of the armed forces who lost their lives in combat duty. By means of classroom and faculty collections, summer concerts by the Trojan band, and proceeds from Christmas readings by Dr. Frank C. Baxter, the Trovets now have $12,000 for scholarships, according to Courtney.
Steiner will receive $300 a semester for four years.
Honor Student
Steiner’s father, Fred Alvin Steiner, was an attorney in San Diego following his service in World War I. He volunteered for field duty in World War II in 1941 and was with the fourth division of the infantry. He was killed during the first wave ashore on the Normandie beach landing and had the rank of lieutenant colonel. He had been awarded the silver and gold stars, the D. S. C. and Purple Heart.
Young Steiner has been captain of his cadet corps at Chula Vista, was master compiler of the De-Moley order, and vice-president of the Key club. He played on the tennis and basketball teams and is accredited as an expert rifleman. He has earned a B average throughout his high school years.
Wampus Laid To Rest Until Next Winter
Spring is busting out all over, but—the Spring edition of Wampus is being quietly laid away until next winter because the University cannot allow, under its constitution, any student activities during stop-week.
It was announced yesterday that the publication, originally due to apper onMay 22, was postponed until early next semester upon the advice of Dr. Bernard L. Hyink. Dean of Students, in conjunction with the Board of Publications. Although the magazine was entirely assembled Monday and ready to go to press, it would have been impossible to print and sell it before stop week.
“I.t was very disappointing to learn of this,” said Perry Snell, Wampus editor. However, we will be able to salvage most of the contents of the magazine for use in the first issue of next semester. Some of the material we will be unable to use because it pertains too much to this past semester and will be old. so far as good humor is concerned, by September.”
