Board Announces Election Statistics
Corrected results for the business, engineering, pharmacy and social studies senatorial races have been announced by the Elections Committee.
The announcement followed discovery of an error in the IBM counting of ballots, which resulted from incorrect
programming.
“The first of two buttons notvied to properly count the ballots was pushed by the machine, but the second was not." Kay Chcrtok, coordinator of student tours explained. "Consequently not all the votes "ere counted for Ihese races.’’ she said.
Students had changed that the original senatorial tallies were ‘'completely off” and had demanded a recount.
Further elections mishaps centered around the humanities senatorial race.
Candidate I.cs Rukasin. who had cast a bid for humanities senator was mistakenly put in the social studies race. As a result, runoffs in the humanities race will take place today.

Rich find* of Lydian and Greek objects were made on the citadel of Sardis, where the expedition due for the first time.
The flanks of the citadel all through the ages have been subject to erosion, which, together with earthquake, brought down huge landslides and left nearly sheer peaks and flanks.
Dangerous Digging
The digging was often dangerous and special paths had to be made for donkeys to carry supplies for the diggers. Among the objects found was a beautiful cup imported from Athens, shattered in many pieces.
An attractive bronze relief of a bear was discovered amid debris of an archaic fortress. Persian arrowheads, mute witnesses to the dramatic siege and capture of the citadel in 547 B. C., were also unearthed.
The siege occurred when King Cyrus of the Persians destroyed the kingdom of Lydia and captured the famous king Croesus, whose fabulous wealth has become proverbial.
City Officials Told to Hold Middle View
Although they are appointed and not elected, city managers
and chief administrative officers must still perform a political function, a monthly luncheon meeting of about 30 such city officials was told here recently.
Speaking on “Community Power Structures." Dr. William B. Storm, associate professor of public administration at USC, said that city managers have to act as a balance between power centers.
“Administrators can expect that any policy is«ue will generate a pattern of support and opposition." Dr. Storm said. “It becomes the administrator's role to develop middle views on which a sufficient numl>er of persons can take a stand to satisfy the needs of the situation."
Power elements in the community develop on a situational ba<is. Dr. Storm added.
“While the number of power elements in a community may lv> somewhat static, relatively few’ of them will become active j on any ^pccific issue. This means ; that the administrator mav expect a new power complex to form on each issue. To be effective and to achieve harmony and progress, he must be prépare.! to meet this changing power pattern,” the administra* toi explained.
The public administrator is also political in the ^onse that he sponsors policv innovations in th* commun^-, the USC professor said. *

NEVER AGAIN—Herman Nathan, popular ice cream vendor who served USC for 11 years, died of a stroke during Easter recess.

Mr. Nathan, who was chosen "Mr. Trojan-ality" four years ago, is shown selling ice cream in a recent photograph. He was 72.
Herman s Cart Cone Forever As Old Vendor Dies in Sleep
By KAREN GUSTAFSON
Herman Nathan, who sold ice cream to USC students near Tommy Trojan for the past 11 years died in his sleep of a heart attack during Easter recess, at his home at 919 S. Spaulding Ave. He uas 72.
Mr. Nathan had been planning to return with his ice cream cart following Easter after more than a semester’s absence d»ie to a stroke he suffered last May.
Wedding Anniversary Mr. Nathan and his wife, Arina, who sells ice cream from her cart in front of Founders Hall, would have celebrated their golden wedding anniversary next Sunday.
The “ice cream man,” one of the most popular “boys” on campus, was unanimously elected Mr. Trojanality four years ago in the annual Trojan Chest Drive. He and Mrs. Nathan always displayed the trophy he won on top of their television set.
Mrs. Nathan was chosen to run in this year's Miss Trojanality contest.
Great Strains
Physicians said Mr. Nathan’s stroke last May and a return trip to the hospital, for loss of blood were just too great strains on his heart, reported his daughter.
Mrs. Lillian Prupes of Los Angeles.
Mrs. Nathan is staying home this week with Mrs. Prupes.
“Anna is pretty upset, but she says she can't stand to be away from the university and the students, so she is seriously thinking about going back next week,"
| Mrs. Prupes said.
In addition to his wife, Mr.
| Nathan is survived by sons Harold of Bakersfield and Melvin jf Los Angeles, Mrs. Prupas and four grandchildren.
The coupie formely lived in Passaic, New Jersey, for 42 years.
They decided to move after , one of their sons was killed in ¡ action during a. World War II ' engagement in the Po Valley in | Italy. He was a first lieutenant | in the army and was about to be promoted to captain.
Extreme Shook
Mrs. Nathan suffered extreme shock and her husband had a heart attack upon receiving news of their son’s death.
They then wrote to USC, where Mr. Nathan had once worked, and asked permission to set up a licensed ice cream concession.
Mr. Nathan worked in front of Tommy Trojan selling ice cream until last May when he had a stroke. His physicians cautioned him not to go back to work until
after Easter when the weather would be warmer.
Regardless, Mr. Nathan could be seen many days before the holiday helping his wife at her cart and chatting with students.
Close Friends Dr. Russell L. Caldwell, associate professor of history and general studies, and Mr. Nathan were close friends. They spent , many hours discussing their similar political ideas.
"Mr. Nathan was an expert j observer,” Dr. Caldwell said.
! "He took in far more of campus life than many students and fac-| ulty members who come and go.” “F o r example, he considered ! today's students far superior to j those of his generation. His view of student life was always optimistic,” Dr. Caldwell explained.
Tradition The history professor expressed hope that Mrs. Nathan will return soon to continue the ice cream tradition at USC.
Adding his hopes for Anna’s return was Dr. William T. Tem-pleman, head of the English department.
“For years I have found Herman and his wife to be a part of the warm heart pf the campus,” he said. "Each one has had a smile and a kindly word for everyone. It’s Mr. Nathan's spirit that we'll miss."

Assistant City Editor
Chris Appel and Hugh Helm will battle today in a special runoff election for the ASSC presidency’.
The pair eliminated third presidential contender Jim Harmon in the regular election two weeks ago. The vote was Helm, 989; Appel, 737; and Harmon. 423.
Voting for the special election will again be held in Alumni Memorial Park, in front of Do-heny Library, and will take place between 9 and 4, according to Election Adviser Don Wallerstein.
Same Setup
Wallerstein said that the same j identification procedure as used in the regular election will be followed.
Many students complained during the general election that the identification procedure was too slow and prevented a large number of students from voting in the two-day election.
Wallerstein explained, however, that the delay was not due to the identification procedure, but to the fact that there were not enough voting booths to accommodate the students.
“We were unable to get more voting booths because the city had already set up most of them for use in the municipal election,” Wallerstein remarked.
The election adviser predicted that the voting lines would not be as slow today.
“Students will only have one
Club to See One-Act Play
A modern translation of an 18th century Japanese Noh play. "Hanjo,” will be acted in Town and Gown Foyer today after I the club's noon luncheon.
Dr. James H. Butler, deMille professor of drama and chairman of the drama department, will present the one-act play in a modern translation by Dr. Donald Keene, professor of drama at Columbia University, who has made a study of ancient Japanese plays.
“Hanjo” was first translated | into modern Japanese and set I in the living room of a home in Tokyo by Yukio Mishima, and then was put into English by Professor Keene.
» A USC student cast of Mona Elkind, Catherine Degen, and Bruce Johnson will enact the play directed and designed by Michiko Suzuki, graduate student in drama.
Program chairmen will be Mrs. Herbert Freston and Mrs. Tracy E. Strevey.
Board members of Town and Gown Junior Auxiliary will be greeted as special guests of the meeting by Mrs. John Wesley Harris, Town and Gown president.
, or two ballots to fill out this i time, instead of the five or six they had to complete in the general election,” Wallerstein explained.
"Also, we don't expect a« many students to turn out for ! the runoff,’’ he added.
Approximately 1.400 students are expected to vote today, compared with the record 2.200 ^turnout "for the general election. However, some turnout estimates have run as high as 1.700.
“Interest usually isn't as high in a runoff as in a general elec-t i o n," Wallerstein explained. “However, we are prepared to keep the polls open later than 4 ' if necessary."
Would Stretch Runoff Candidat“ Appel expressed ; hope that interest would remain high in the election, and said he would support a move to stretch the runoffs to two days if the polls become crowded.
“There is usually less interest in a runoff than in the regular election,” he agreed, “but if we can create the interest we certainly should do all we can to accommodate the crowd.”
Students complained of wait-
ing in line for as long as 45 minutes before being able to vote in the general election.
Candidate Helm disagreed with the suggestion of extending the runoff to two days and said. “Lets just get it over with.”
'I don't expect that more than 1.500 students will turn out to vote, and the polls should be able to handle that amount." he said. “I don't think students who want to vote will have any trouble casting a ballot.”
Appel, who has received the endorsement of Troy's two open political parties — Trojans for Representative Government and the Representation Party — expressed hope that the student ijody would support his pl«n to restore student spirit by revitalizing student government.
Helm continues to base his campaign on a platform of “qualified leadership.” and Appel has held to his original campaign promise of a “return to ! realism.”
“I have based my campaign on my record and experience,” Helm, currently president pro-i tem of the ASSC Senate, remarked.
Socialism in Medicine Tragic/ Doctor Says
By MEL NEWHOFF
The possible growth of socialized medicine in the United States under the Kennedy administration was recently described as “tragic” by a USC professor of medicine.
Dr. G. Douglas Baldridge, assistant clinical professor at the School of Medicine, told members of Phi Delta Epsilon and Nu Sigma Nu medical fraternities at a joint meeting that the Kennedy health program would reduce medicine to the status of a “public utility.”
“I have seen what has happened with socialized medicine in Prague. Austria.’ 'he said. “The results are tragic. They are 30 or 40 years behind us in medicine.”
Dr. Baldridge claimed that the Kennedy health "scheme,'’ supported by the labor unions, will lead to government control of medicine.
Lose Security
Dr. Baldridge said that doctors would lose their security under a system of state medicine and should instead be allowed to retain their independence "even though doctors can't get rich today.”
He indicated that a state-op-erated medical system would hurt the patient by interfering in the patient-doctor relationship, with the result that the doctor’s responsibility toward his patient would vanish.
"A good doctor should not only know his patient's ailments.
but also his problems.” Dr. Baldridge explained. “He should know his patient’s family and take an interest in it. Under state medicine, a patient treated by one doctor today will feel the cold stethescope of another doctor tomorrow.”
Internal Forces
Dr. Baldridge said that internal forces are another factor in the growth of socialized medicine. Encouraging future physicians to depend more on their own capabilities. Dr. Baldridge asked the students fo resist the pressure of socialism.
“Don't sell yourself short,” he said. “Too many young doctors lack self-esteem. They give in too easily to new-, undesirable trends such as state medicine."
Dr. Baldridge said that public opinion can be a powerful force in determining the future of socialized medicine in the United ■States.
“If you don't want state medicine. then fight it,” he challenged.

Alessandri Proves New Hope For Chile
(Editor's note. This is the sixth in a series of articles on Latin American politics by Penny Lernoux. Today she discusses political and economic problems in Chile.)
By PENNY LERNOUX Daily Trojan City Editor Chile, the great spinal column of the Andes, has been blessed, unlike many of her neighbors, with a fairly stable democracy and an absence of Indian ethnic problems and unwanted internal military interference in politics.
Nevertheless. Chile has a problem and inflation.
When Jorge Alessandri Rodriquez. Chile's cun-ent president, was inaugurated in November of 1958, the 1959 budget of S465,-600,000 was unbalanced by $242,-500.000.

Something obviously needed to be done. That something was Al-essandri's tough austerity program.
The two years since the start of this program have not been easy on the Chilean people, especially with the setback of the devastating earthquake that occurred in the south of Chile 'ast

Most important of all.
He also worked on reduction of a vastly overstaffed civil service, encouragement of capital investment, tightening up on income tax evasion and settlement of debts to government contractors amounting to $95 million, many of which had been outstanding for several years.
Alessandri’s busin e s s m a n’s background and the fact that he ran as an independent for president are probably most responsible for his ability to put such a program through.

In fact, the Chilean school of Communism is considered one of the most powerful in Latin America. An exemple of this is one of its leading graduates, Che Guevara, Castro’s left-hand man.
Further, Salvador Allende, FRAP’S candidate in the -958 Chilean presidential election, received only 34.314 votes less than Alessandri.

The government has approved a 10-year $10 million plan to improve the standard of living ot the populace, and Alessandris austerity program is just really beginning to get underway.
Of course, there is always the threat of Communism in Chile. Some Chileans even go so far as to preoict that the next president will l>e a Communist.

Evidence that the Gulf of California extended info the western Imperial Valley as late as 500,000 \r*ars ago was presented * today to the annual meeting of the Cordilleran section of the Geological Society of America in : San Diego by Dr. Theodore Downs, USC visiting professor of geology and scientist for the Los Angeles County Museum.
Until recently, scientists 'lave thought that it had been five or six million years since the gulf water reached as far nortyi as what are now parts of San Diego and Imperial countries, Dr. Downs said.
The USC-County Museum scientist based his report on the discovery of fossilized bones of 48 kinds of prehistoric animals west of the Salton Sea ami south : of Borrego Springs in the Cali fornia stato park area of the An-za-Borrego desert.
These ancient bones, the first record of land animals from the Colorado desert area, are the most complete fauna of that age found Ln Southern California. Dr. Downs said.
Some of the fossils are of a giant condor like bird with a 17-foot. wingspan. mastodons. antelope, large horses, camels 16 fe-t tall, short-faced hears, ground sloths, birds and plains-fype pocket gophers and mice.
