Frosh Offenders Go Unassessed; Fine Rules Were Never Written
by Charlie Barnett
Vague election regulations threw the ASSC Senate into a mild state of confusion last night, but a committee was created to clear up the matter.
When the senators could find no written standards concerning fines for election rule violations they voted not to levy any fines on violations in the recent freshman election. ,
The Senate then appointed a three-man committee to codify detailed election rules and set up a schedule of fines to cover each individual type of violation.
Standard* Fluctuate
In the past fines were levied on an orally-transmitted basis or made up according to different standards each year. The ASSC by-laws contain only a general statement of rules and no standard by which fines are to be levied.
Harry Paskil, School of Pharmacy president, who proposed the codifacation, is one of the “Justinian” committee members. Senator-at-large Arne Lindgren is the chairman and sophomore President Phil Marantz is t£e third committeeman.
George Gonzales, chairman of the elections Investigating committee, originally brought up the subject in his report recommending that freshman presidential candidates Jack Forney and Tom Robertson be fined for illegal posting of campaign literature.
Dubious Propriety
After discussion ot the propriety of election signs painted on the streets, Gonzales introduced amendment to the ASSC by-laws which would make the defacing of public, private, or university property illegal and subject to fines. A sign for freshman president Don Davis on University avenue near the Row brought on the discussion.
Gonzales’ proposed by-law amendment will be acted upon by the Senate at the next meeting.
Another by-law amendment introduced last night proposes that the Committee on Student organizations be authorized to make

‘Titter’ a Model
Fazekas outlined the content of the first issue of Wampus.

Professor Will Discuss Wells
A discussion on applying oil-well drilling to sink fresh-w’ater wells will be led by Dr. John F. Mann Jr., assistant professor of geology, at the 33rd annual conference of the California section of the American Water Works association at the Huntington hotel in Pasadena today.
Having electric ‘logs,” which chart underground formations soon after any oil wrell is drilled, made when important fresh-vvater wells are sunk, will be the major topic of the speech.
Many fresh-water wells drilled in tlie San Joaquin valley recently have been electrically logged, and it is expected this technique will be used more in southern California, according to Dr. Mann.
Troy Dedicates Ancient Column
Students Give Gift From Turkey
Many Opinions On Troy Stone
Accepted by Fagg
by Beverly Chuchian
Student impressions of the Trojan Stone, officially dedicated to the university yesterday, were varied.
In answer to the question “What is your impression of the Trojan Stone?’, Althea Aleko said she thought it was fabulous but she had been under the impression for years that Helen of Troy was a brunette and not a blonde as inscribed on the plaque. She added that her Greek heritage had led her to believe that most Greeks were brunettes.
/ Pile of Rock -The stone, to Irene Josefe, is nothing more than a pile of rock. Not so for Jody Ward, however. Jody thinks the idea is marvelous and hopes our Bruin buddies will respect our new symbol of Trojan spirit.
Magnificent
“Magnificent. A supplement to Tommy Trojan,” was Mike Wise’s comment. “It will sooner or later equal Tommy’s national fame.” Mary Lou Lyons thinks it is a terrifiq idea, and that it is good for international relations.
“The stone is very Impressive and the ceremony was especially nice,” said Gerri Reich. She added that it was too bad more people didn’t attend the dedication. James Kassebaum was sorry to have missed the dedication, because of classes, but thinks the stone is a big addition to campus.
Loss for Words Work for a political club has kept Laurel Bump so busy that she hasn’t had time to notice the stone. Don Goodrich was at a loss for words.
Chuck Butterworth thinks that it carries.out the spirit of Troy here at school. Fred Mitchell thinks it’s tremendous and Lynne Mayer agrees with him that it brings the legend of Troy closer to SC.
Herb Thurman thinks the pillar is becoming and very much in the idea of carrying out a duplication of Troy. He thinks it was very nice of the Turkish government to present it to SC.
The inscriptions on the base of the stone are too much for Richard Duran. He can’t follow them, they’re too deep for him. Art Weiss w’ants to know if the pillar is supposed to be standing that way or if it is upside down.
Heartwarming Although Chuck Griffith hasn’t seen it, he thinks it’s heartwarming.” Marilyn Ruesch doubts that it is much more than something else to have paint thrown on.
Angela Gitelson thinks it’s great and that Acacia fraternity was smart to think of it. She just hopes that UCLA doesn't mutilate it too much.
“It gives a nice traditional effect and creates a sort of bond between the spirits of the modern SC Trojans and the old'Trojans,” said Shirley Glass. She added that it would give us an incentive to really “fight on”!
The symbolism of the stone is highly regarded by Norma Welts and Betty Barsam. They think it’s nice to have symbols around colleges and that 4here is too little of it in general.
The stone was covered the last time Don Maher went by it and there were so many people around it at the dedication ceremony that he wasn’t able to see it then.
What? Where?
While many students seem to be favorably impressed by this latest addition, there are still a few that have not seen the stone.
One male student, when asked his impression, said, “the what? Where? What are you talking about?” After an explanation, he refused to divulge his nam'1 because he “didn’t w^ant people to know how’ stupid he was.”
Perhaps-the answer of the day came from Mary Ann Clements who said, “It’s different. I’m impressed. I can’t understand the plaques, . but • the wTords are pretty.”
A 400-pound section of a pillar from a building of ancient Troy yesterday was dedicated as a campus shrine.

Awed Trojans Meditate Before Trojan Shrine
by Bob Frenette
The curious crowd clustered about as the workmen pounded in the plaques. Feeling the granite Trojan Column with humble hands, they silently read Byron’s inscriptions. Then two young Trojans began speaking:
“Doesn’t look like much, does
it?”
“No . . . but it’s old as the hills,” the other replied.
“Makes another target for visiting wise guys. I can see it now, covered with paint,” the first said.
“And once as she passed, golden Helen brushed me with her sleeve,” the first read aloud. “Who was this Helen gal, anyway?”
“Well, I know she had a face that launched a thousand ships. Seems she was a Greek doll who was kidnaped by a Trojan named Paris . . .”
Oh yeah! Then the Greeks started a war to get her back. Boy, she must have been a honey!

student at SC, presented the stone to President Fred D. Fagg Jr. on behalf of Feridun C. Erkin, Turkish ambassador to the United States.
“In dedicating this stone to the Trojans of today and tomorrow,” j Dr. Gursoy said, “I hope that as long as it shall lie on the firm soil of this land of liberty, the deep and cordial friendship between Turkey and the United, States will continue«to flourish.”! Symbolizes Traditions
President Fagg accepted the stone and sajd it helped further to symbolize the many traditions for which SC is famous.
“The Trojan heritage at SC is one of which we all are proud." President Fagg said. “It began some 40 years a to when a sports-writer WTOte that SC teams ‘fought like Trojans,’ „ and the name spread.
“Twenty years ago the statue of Tommy Trojan was presented to the university by the Alumni association. Now, for the first time, SC has something from the original Troy to help us carry’ on the Trojan tradition.”
Turkey Anniversary
President Fagg also pointed out that it w’as fitting that the stone be dedicated Oct. 29, the anniversary’ of the founding of the public of Turkey.
He said the excellent relationship between the United States and Turkey was evidenced by the educational programs which send scholars from one nation to another. Dr. Gursoy and four other Turkish professors are studying at SC under such a program.
Carol Troy, a senior coed whose name was appropriate for the occasion, and Jan Anderson. Home-coming queen, who is known as Helen of Troy, also participated in the dedication ceremonies.
Chancellor Rufus B. von Klein-Smid attended the ceremony. The program was opened wnth a chorus of “Fight On,” played by the Trojan band.
Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English, spoke briefly on the history of ancient Troy.
1200 B.C.
The round, granite-like column stands 2 feet 10 inches tall and measures 16 inches across. It was quarried and polished without the aid of iron tools at an unknowm date before 1200 B.C. and stood in the courtyard of a public building, believed to have been a temple of Apollo. .
The stone is quartz monzonite
The Turkish information office in New York and the American embassy at Istanbul helped obtain the column and ship it to SC. Long Ago and Far Away An inscription appears on a bronze plaque at the base of the pillar:
“From a far place and long ago, and broken,
I have come at last to another Troy.
But still I am. and Troy liven once again.” —Anon.
Another plaque on the base
reads:
“Hector and Paris saw me at
Troy:
I suffered the wrath of Agamemnon.
And once, as she passed, golden Helen
Brushed me with her sleeve.”
—Anon.

Offering no “out-and-out” prediction but a strong opinioh, Dr. Russell Caldw'ell, associate professor of history, yesterday outlined reasons why he believes Governor Adlai Stevenson will wirr Tuesday’s presidential election.
Assuming that the electoral vote situation is strongly in Stevenson’s favor. Dr. Caldwell said that this year’s election could still be very close in the popular vote tally.
Democrats Favored
“Because of the electoral voting system, the cards are once again stacking up in favor of the Democratic party,” the history professor said.
“The Republicans wil! no doubt poll more Southern votes than in any election in the past 20 years, but despite this,” Dr. Caldwell

Professor Will Discuss Wells A discussion on applying oil-well drilling to sink fresh-w’ater wells will be led by Dr. John F. Mann Jr., assistant professor of geology, at the 33rd annual conference of the California section of the American Water Works association at the Huntington hotel in Pasadena today. Having electric ‘logs,” which chart underground formations soon after any oil wrell is drilled, made when important fresh-vvater wells are sunk, will be the major topic of the speech. Many fresh-water wells drilled in tlie San Joaquin valley recently have been electrically logged, and it is expected this technique will be used more in southern California, according to Dr. Mann. Troy Dedicates Ancient Column Students Give Gift From Turkey Many Opinions On Troy Stone Accepted by Fagg by Beverly Chuchian Student impressions of the Trojan Stone, officially dedicated to the university yesterday, were varied. In answer to the question “What is your impression of the Trojan Stone?’, Althea Aleko said she thought it was fabulous but she had been under the impression for years that Helen of Troy was a brunette and not a blonde as inscribed on the plaque. She added that her Greek heritage had led her to believe that most Greeks were brunettes. / Pile of Rock -The stone, to Irene Josefe, is nothing more than a pile of rock. Not so for Jody Ward, however. Jody thinks the idea is marvelous and hopes our Bruin buddies will respect our new symbol of Trojan spirit. Magnificent “Magnificent. A supplement to Tommy Trojan,” was Mike Wise’s comment. “It will sooner or later equal Tommy’s national fame.” Mary Lou Lyons thinks it is a terrifiq idea, and that it is good for international relations. “The stone is very Impressive and the ceremony was especially nice,” said Gerri Reich. She added that it was too bad more people didn’t attend the dedication. James Kassebaum was sorry to have missed the dedication, because of classes, but thinks the stone is a big addition to campus. Loss for Words Work for a political club has kept Laurel Bump so busy that she hasn’t had time to notice the stone. Don Goodrich was at a loss for words. Chuck Butterworth thinks that it carries.out the spirit of Troy here at school. Fred Mitchell thinks it’s tremendous and Lynne Mayer agrees with him that it brings the legend of Troy closer to SC. Herb Thurman thinks the pillar is becoming and very much in the idea of carrying out a duplication of Troy. He thinks it was very nice of the Turkish government to present it to SC. The inscriptions on the base of the stone are too much for Richard Duran. He can’t follow them, they’re too deep for him. Art Weiss w’ants to know if the pillar is supposed to be standing that way or if it is upside down. Heartwarming Although Chuck Griffith hasn’t seen it, he thinks it’s heartwarming.” Marilyn Ruesch doubts that it is much more than something else to have paint thrown on. Angela Gitelson thinks it’s great and that Acacia fraternity was smart to think of it. She just hopes that UCLA doesn't mutilate it too much. “It gives a nice traditional effect and creates a sort of bond between the spirits of the modern SC Trojans and the old'Trojans,” said Shirley Glass. She added that it would give us an incentive to really “fight on”! The symbolism of the stone is highly regarded by Norma Welts and Betty Barsam. They think it’s nice to have symbols around colleges and that 4here is too little of it in general. The stone was covered the last time Don Maher went by it and there were so many people around it at the dedication ceremony that he wasn’t able to see it then. What? Where? While many students seem to be favorably impressed by this latest addition, there are still a few that have not seen the stone. One male student, when asked his impression, said, “the what? Where? What are you talking about?” After an explanation, he refused to divulge his nam'1 because he “didn’t w^ant people to know how’ stupid he was.” Perhaps-the answer of the day came from Mary Ann Clements who said, “It’s different. I’m impressed. I can’t understand the plaques, . but • the wTords are pretty.” A 400-pound section of a pillar from a building of ancient Troy yesterday was dedicated as a campus shrine.

Feeling the granite Trojan Column with humble hands, they silently read Byron’s inscriptions. Then two young Trojans began speaking: “Doesn’t look like much, does it?” “No . . . but it’s old as the hills,” the other replied. “Makes another target for visiting wise guys. I can see it now, covered with paint,” the first said. “And once as she passed, golden Helen brushed me with her sleeve,” the first read aloud. “Who was this Helen gal, anyway?” “Well, I know she had a face that launched a thousand ships. Seems she was a Greek doll who was kidnaped by a Trojan named Paris . . .” Oh yeah! Then the Greeks started a war to get her back.

Fagg Jr. on behalf of Feridun C. Erkin, Turkish ambassador to the United States. “In dedicating this stone to the Trojans of today and tomorrow,” j Dr. Gursoy said, “I hope that as long as it shall lie on the firm soil of this land of liberty, the deep and cordial friendship between Turkey and the United, States will continue«to flourish.”! Symbolizes Traditions President Fagg accepted the stone and sajd it helped further to symbolize the many traditions for which SC is famous. “The Trojan heritage at SC is one of which we all are proud." President Fagg said. “It began some 40 years a to when a sports-writer WTOte that SC teams ‘fought like Trojans,’ „ and the name spread. “Twenty years ago the statue of Tommy Trojan was presented to the university by the Alumni association. Now, for the first time, SC has something from the original Troy to help us carry’ on the Trojan tradition.” Turkey Anniversary President Fagg also pointed out that it w’as fitting that the stone be dedicated Oct. 29, the anniversary’ of the founding of the public of Turkey. He said the excellent relationship between the United States and Turkey was evidenced by the educational programs which send scholars from one nation to another. Dr. Gursoy and four other Turkish professors are studying at SC under such a program. Carol Troy, a senior coed whose name was appropriate for the occasion, and Jan Anderson. Home-coming queen, who is known as Helen of Troy, also participated in the dedication ceremonies. Chancellor Rufus B. von Klein-Smid attended the ceremony. The program was opened wnth a chorus of “Fight On,” played by the Trojan band. Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English, spoke briefly on the history of ancient Troy. 1200 B.C. The round, granite-like column stands 2 feet 10 inches tall and measures 16 inches across. It was quarried and polished without the aid of iron tools at an unknowm date before 1200 B.C. and stood in the courtyard of a public building, believed to have been a temple of Apollo. . The stone is quartz monzonite The Turkish information office in New York and the American embassy at Istanbul helped obtain the column and ship it to SC. Long Ago and Far Away An inscription appears on a bronze plaque at the base of the pillar: “From a far place and long ago, and broken, I have come at last to another Troy. But still I am. and Troy liven once again.” —Anon. Another plaque on the base reads: “Hector and Paris saw me at Troy: I suffered the wrath of Agamemnon. And once, as she passed, golden Helen Brushed me with her sleeve.” —Anon.
