Elections Code Yo-Yo Match? To Make Bid For 4th Time
A general elections code will be presented for the fourth time i on the floor of the ASSC Sen- , ate tonight.
The first code, submitted by j Elections Committee Chairman Bob Kendell, included a system of voter registration and was unanimously passed by the Senate in September. It was later defeated by the Executive Cab inet.
Kendall submitted a second i code in December that eliminat- j ed voter registration. This was ! passed by a narrower margin in j the Senate but was also defeat- I ea by the Executive Cabinet.
Third Try A third try to decide on an elections code was made during a special meeting in January. I During that meeting, the sena- ; tors	apparently	decided	that it	I
was	too late to	approve	a stem	j
code	but not so late that	a weak	|
one	had to be	passed,	and the	j
code was again rejected.
Chairman Kendall resigned.
The code that will reach the floor tonight is expected to be a compromise that will be acceptable to the hands-off faction as well as the strongcon-trol group.
Voter Registration Voter registration is not expected to be included in the code, which is sponsored by Senator Bernie Elias. In the past. Elias has claimed that voter registration \yould injure the interests of the majority of students since they would neglect to register and, thereby, be deprived of their vote at election ’time.
Other senators, including Pharmacy Senator Dan Casey and Social Studies Senator Bobbie Furbass, have argued strongly for the protection they feel registration vvilj offer the voter. They might be leaders of opposition to the new code.
Urgent Demands Sludent Body President Bill Steigerwalt has already threatened to call special Senate sessions until a code is produced. And Senate President Pro Temp Hugh Helm voiced the majority view of the Senate by calling for “a code, any code,” to legalize the pending elections.
In all probability, a code will be produced during tonight’s meeting but not before a series of verbal grandstands and pyrotechnics.
Even o 1 d timers aren't predicting an outcome for this one. However, an interim code is all set to bp brought on the floor, just in case.
Although sportseasters and newswriters may be predicting the demise of college athletics, an upstart group of anemic Stanford graduates have offered to take on the cream of Troy’s athletic pride in a battle to the death with . . .
Yo Yo’s.
That’s right. Losers in basketball, football, baseball, swimming, crew and badminton, the Indians have taken up a new battlefront, more suitable to their intellectual and cultural heritage.
In response to an arrogant challenge delivered by none other than Stanford’s Graduate Vo Yo Champion, the Daily Trojan prepared to find a suitable judge for the contest.
But Beanie is unavailable and UCLA coach Bill Barnes gracefully declines.

Campus Sculpture Exhibits Feature Diversified Talents
BY JEANNE M \ZZOTTI
Los Angeles, a jewel in the rising art mecca of Southern California, reveals the great diversity in thought and expression of its area sculptors at the USC Fine Arts Upstairs Gallery exhibit this month.
Seventeen sculptors, both known and unknown locally, have contributed 34 works to the show in media ranging from welded aluminum to polished stone.
The works selected typify the sculptors in the methods with which they are currently work-ins. They embrace both traditional and current sculptural trends from classic to abstract expressionism.
A high point of the exhibit is a grotesque flesh-colored cypress woodcarving of two figures entitled “After the Bomb Was Over." Done by Robert Ortlieb, « USC graduate, the sculpture Is a shockingly direct comment on the contemporary scene.
Outstanding, represen tat ive work in wood sculpture are two 9-foot carvings by Jjck Horton; a polished laminated wood construction by Ben Wade: and two reclining female figures by I SC sculpture instructor Harold Gehhardt.

I is a thought-provoking entry by Albert Stewart.
Cornelia Runyon is represented by a sculptural medium: a "Turtle" of a polished Brazilian agate piece. A favcrite method of the sculptor, the natural form of the stone, suggests an idea which is then refined, such as in Ortliebs ironwood bird, entitled “Elegy.”
A delightful iteqi in the exhibit is a fanciful blue and silver rnbile, set in motion by a touch to a rock suspended from ; the center. The mobile vv?.' built by Gerhardt Nichol-cn.

Pegot Waring has carved an interesting creation from limestone with encaustic. called the “New Man.” It portrays a fig-1 lire leaping from the mouth of : a huge frog.

lines.
Merrell Gage, USC professor emeritus, who is well-known for his documentary on sculpture, “The .Face of Lincoln,” is represented by a serene classic madonna of clay.
Sculptures in metals are ex-emnlified by the works of USC instructor George Baker, with his wall-relief done in the difficult medium of welding aluminum, a ca«t bronze "goat” by international;* known Jack Za-and a free. f:gu re-grouping in steel and bronze hv USC Instructor Charles von Duering.

A powerful potion for basketball success brewed by the junior class will be tested on the student body tonight at 8 p.m. in Bovard Auditorium.
A concoction of music, yells, and praise, the potion is calculated to inspire the Trojan ball club toward record-breaking athletic feats.
Jim Harmon, inventor of the strategic formula, and research j assistants Gretchen Boldman and Virginia Kalinske, report that USC’s foes should take heed.
“Nothing can hold us back,” j said Harmon, “if our experiment is successful.” It hinges on proper mixture of ingredients — an j auditorium filled with rooters, ! an infinity of determination, ‘ 1 mountain of confidence hearty support.”
When asked about the probability of securing the necessary ingredients, Harmon expressed scientific confidence. He related 1 that his strategic committees h&ve taken all the necessary precautions.
“An automobile caravan starting on 28th street will carry j roolers from the campus living j organizations to the auditorium,” ; he confided.
“Once the rooter ingredient j is corraled in the auditorium, | success is almost inevitable,” | Harmon feels.
He believes that rooters and team members will find it hard to resist the enthusiasm and cheer of the host of entertainers I and activities planned to catalyze his formula.

Harmon asserted that the Junior Class’ research into the elements of success proves conclusively that USC has all the natural resources required fulfill the formula for it.
A new jet-age college education for Air Force cadets, including a $1,100 per year grant for each student selected, is part of a streamlined overhaul proposed for the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps, reported Lt. Colonel John A. New-bauer, director of the USC AF-ROTC program and professor of air science.
This major proposal, just off the Pentagon drawing boards, was. outlined by the Air Force Advisory Panel recently and is now awaiting the final approval of the Department of Defense.
The new program, built around merit scholarship, is the first major change in the Air Force ROTC program since its I inception in 1916, Colonel New- Dr. bauer said.

Poor Reasons Robinson argued that the reasons given were “lame and weak” and insisted that the early petitioning date was unknown to himself. Harmon and other possible candidates he had contacted.
Steigerwalt countered Robinsons' charges with a claim that the petitioning date was decided upon by the Executive Cabinet— which includes Harmon and Guhin—the week following Christmas recess and was reported to the Senate the next day.
“We have given candidates two extra days to petition, and early petitioning will give them a longer time to prepare a campaign and present themselves to the student body,” Steigerwalt said.
“How can this be a disadvantage?” he asked.
However, Robinson wrote that Harmon expressed equal surprise over the early petitioning when contacted. The communications senator continued that the move was apparently designed to further disorganize any opposition to Helm's campaign.

to do so, it is likely that other contenders for the presidency have rot yet filed and that, for the moment, the business senator is running unopposed.
Kay urged potential candi-to dates to file as early as possible, instead of waiting until the deadline as has been the practice in previous elections.
“Absolutely no petitions will be accepted later than 5 p.m. Friday,” Kay said.
“Petitions will be available in 301a SU until then.” he added i
