New Pledges Make Row Debut
Future of Elections Depends on Cabinet
By LARRY BISHOP
The fate of the ASSC elections code — and perhaps that of the freshman elections — rests in the hands of the Executive Cabinet tonight. hut even the most optimistic student leaders feel the bill will receive the executive veto.
The statute to create a new ASSC election code was introduced at last Wednesday’s Senate meeting by Bob Kendall and Carole Whitson, senators trom social studies.
Discussion over the five-page piece of legislation lasted for nearly two hours as the senators displaved their prowess as parliamentary debate before 50 guests at the first ‘ open Senate meeting of the year.
Student leaders from several local colleges were on hand to study the new student government structure in action and to hear ASSC President Bill Stei-pervvalt's “state of the union"

expected to block the progress of the code at tonight's cabinet meeting was brought up at the Senate meeting but died for lack of a second.
Bobby Furbass, social studies senator, saw an apparent flaw in a clause w hich provided for registration of voters and proposed to correct it by providing a procedure whereby voters would be registred at the same time as regular class registration.
Either no one understood Sen. Furbass’ motion or the urgency of the forthcoming freshman elections was a more immediate threat to efficiency, for no senator rose to second the motion.
Miss Furbass did. however, have support among the Executive Cabinet, which must give ultimate approval to legislation belore it can become binding.
Hugh Helm, president, pro-temp of the Senate, said that, if the cabinet does veto the statute,

University Park enrollment has not been damaged hv the university’s flat-fee tuition plan, according to figures released by Registrar David Evans.
The flat-fee tuition program, developed to encourage the full-time college student, has replaced the former rates of S30 per unit for six or more units of study and S25 per unit for less than six units of study.
Officials also hoped the new tuition plan would be able to provide higher faculty salaries, meet the continually rising costs of higher education and add distinguished professorships and lectureships to the faculty.
Although still one of the lowest tuition rates for a private university, there was speculation at the ime as to whether this new policy would hinder enrollment at USC.
However, Evans’ figures show that the 1960 University Park enrollment is actually higher than 1958 and only slightly less than the boom enrollment of 1959.
As expected, part-time enrollment has been off, and University College also shows a drop from last year. Evans points out, however, that UC registration continues for another week and figures are not yet complete.
“I feel confident that total enrollment for the University will reach 17,000,” he said.
Total enrollment during the boom year, 1959, was 18,069.

Help Week ' Marks New Row Season
“Helping, not hazing” was the theme opening this year’s fraternity rushing and a record number of students responded to the new look on the Row.
The IFC reports that the first three days of rushing have produced a large increase of interested male students over the same period last fall. Enforcement of the administration ruling which forbade hazing was credited as cause of the r.ew confidence among male students.
New activities on the part of | the fraternities themselves have j also been responsible for the revival of fraternity interest.
