Charges
Freshman President Don Davis yesterday answered charges of “discrimination” in the selection of his class council which were aired at the ASSC Senate meeting.
“I chose those who impressed me as willing to work, on the basis of the application and personal interview,” Davis said.
A Senate investigation of Davis’ selection methods was asked Wednesday by Senator-at-large Bo Jansen, but the Senate turned down the request.
Jansen said he had received complaints that the council was selected in an unfair manner, and that independent students “didn’t come out very well” in the selection.
Asked yesterday if he had made any differentiation between Row and independent students in choosing the council, Davis said that this factor “did not even enter into the selection.”
He said he knew that some students would be unhappy because they were left off the council, but it was impossible to put all the applicants on the council.
Davis, who was not present at the Senate meeting said he w’as “shocked” upon hearing about t^e charges yesterday.

Local Colleges To Join Xmas Auto Pool
An innovation in college vacation car pools will be tried this Christmas with students from SC, UCLA, LACC, Pepperdine, and Scripps colleges joining in a share-the-ride program.
The new twist, brainchild of UCLA medical student Paul Goldstein, will give riders a better opportunity to get to their exact destination. Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, sponsors the vacation-ride plan at SC.
Although the share-the-ride campaign begins today publicly, many students have already offered or expressed a desire for rides to distant points.

Yang, w'ho has been in America 4Vz years, hopes to rejoin his parents in Hong Kong before the end of January, when the Chinese New Year is celebrated.
A Chinese New Year is something everyone should see, according to Yang.
"People shoot off fireworks, give children money wrapped in colored paper, and pay off their debts so they can begin the new year with a clean slate during this fete,” he said.
After spending his “second” New Year home, Yang plans to take a job in February as general manager of the Philippine branch of Long Tak Tai, an international importing and exporting firm.
Long Tak Tai has branches all over the world, according to Yang, who foresees an opportunity to travel in Europe as part of his job.

No announcement has yet been made about tickets for alumni and public season ticket holders.
Priority Decision
In a signed article in the Mirror, Dick Nash, former director of the athletic news service here, said disposition of alumni tickets is awaiting a top level decision on priority.
He said the board of trustees will have to decide whether season ticket holders will have first priority on bowl tickets, or whether alumni will get first charice.
“Incidentally,” Nash says, “new alumni membership application payments have been pouring into SC since the Trojans beat UCLA, no doubt by many grads who want to get in on the ground floor for Pasadena pasteboards ... it is entirely possible some public season-ticket holders will be shut out . . .”
1000 Sold
About 1000 tickets were sold to ‘activity book holders the first day of sale yesterday. The sale to A-book holders will continue from 9 a.m. to 12 and 1 to 4:30 p.m. today, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at the service building, University avenue and 35th place.

SC Graduate Wins $2 Cad From UCLA
Thanks to the SC football team and its victory over UCLA, a 22-year-old former SC student today owns a brand new Cadillac, for which she paid $2.
And to make things worse for UCLA, tbe car came from their alumni, who didn’t stand to win anything if the game had been won by the Bruins.
Refused Sale Betty Little, 224% North Ber-endo street, Manhattan Beach, before the big game loyally refused to buy any raffle tickets from her lyy friend, Bill Baird, 27, 1020 Point View street.
Baird, a UCLA graduate, was selling them for the annual Bruin alumni scholarship fund drive.
Double or Nothing Finally Baird and * Miss Little found a happy medium. She would be given a ticket free if the Bruins beat SC. If SC emerged from the game as the victors, she would pay double the regular price of the tickets, or $2.
When Miss Little won the car at the drawing the next day, she was convinced that her boy friend had rigged the whole thing up as a gag. Refusing to be caught by the trick, she wouldn’t go to the dealer’s to pick up the car.
Car Delivered Baird finally persuaded her to go to the dealer’s, and only after the car was signed, sealed, and delivered to her did she believe that she had won.
Baird, however, has salvaged something for his alma mater. Miss Little lets him drive the car occasionally. It won’t last long, though, because she plans to sell the car.
She and her mother will take a trip to Hawaii next spring, compliments of the “generous” UCLA alumni.
