By HAL DRAKE Assistant City Editor
The final countdown for Ihe most heated ASSC election in years has begun.
The debates and political charges that have distinguished this election from any in the past five years appear ready to continue down to the last hours of campaigning. Candidates are likely to still be yelling when the polls open at 9 a.m. tomor-★ ★ ★
row in Alumni Memorial Park.
Supporters of defeated yell leader contestant Rich Miailovich will definitely be campaigning for their candidate, even if the others should finish their battling early.
Miailovich's supporters have claimed that the junior English major failed in his try for yell leader because he was blocked by a “political clique.”
As a result, irate friends have
Croddy, Moss Clash In Campaign Debate
Steve Croddy and Dan Moss, candidates for Junior Class president. will lock horns tonight in the second debate in this year's ASSC elections campaign.
The clash will begin tonight at 7 at the Alpha Phi house.
The first debate was held last week among Hugh Helm, Jim Harmon and Mike Guhin, ASSC presidential candidates.
Who Worked
Moss, chairman of the Greater University Committee, said that the Junior Class race “won't be a contest on basic issues since both Cioddy and I want a better class. It will be a contest of who will work harder in the future based on who worked harder in the past.”
Croddy feels that the issue of the debate will be “whether or not the class wants to continue being run by an organization
Chimes Tie Varsity Nine
The campus baseball championship was left up in the air as the rugged?0? Chimes battled the Trojan varsity to a 2-2 tie on Bovard Field yesterday afternoon.
The Climes overcame a 2-0 score in the second inning on a double by Mary Memory and a single by Kondelia Wells.
An unidentified Chime third baseman or basewoman is credited with averting a varsity score by fielding a sure base hit and turnin'; it into a double play.
Katie Spencer and Robin Angelica, the varsity battery, held the Chimes to five hits, while Ron Stillwell and Steve Bach allowed the varsity only four hits.
Coach Rod Dedeaux stood by his team through the entire presidents
whose only concern has been to control, not to provide."
Croddy is a yell leader and is a member of Squires and the Inter-Dorm Council. He was president of his high school student body and is on an Elks , leadership scholarship.
He cairies a 2.8 grade average.
Gathers No Moss
Moss is on a full-tuition. four-year scholarship and maintains a 2.9 grade average.
“I was responsible for the showing of the film ‘Operation Abolition' and this year's Bill of Rights Wreek, which placed fourth in a state-wide contest— the first time that USC has done this," Moss said.
Croddy holds that the present Sophomore Class has a lot of leadership potential as shown by the large number of class members in service organizations, such as Spurs and Squires.
“It is important to show' these
people that it will be worth their iclentificaUon of his status as a
prepared a write-in campaign for Miailovich that has turned a peaceful yell king race into a bitter, wide-open battle.
Election Commissioner Art Kay cautioned Miailovich supporters to “refrain from any overt activities,” which are technically illegal.
Kay added, however, that Miailovich votes would‘be counted, even if his name were slightly misspelled.
A student cannot be elected yell king unless he has been approved by the ASSC board that rejected Miailovich. Therefore, it is likely that the popular junior would be disqualified even if elected.
Miailovich's supporters are planning on a wide majority for their candidate, which,they hope will pressure the board or the administration into reversing the decision.
They also plan to offer evidence that the voting was weighted against Miailovich by “campus politicians.”
Over-Ambitious
Although many races are being hotly contested, election procedures have been outlined to guarantee against over-ambitious voters, according to Commissioner Kay.
“Voters will only be allowed to bring their identification with them into the voting area,” Kay explained. “Books or handbags will not be allowed.”
In additional attempts to prevent ballot-stuffing, Kay and his staff will check the identification and field of study of all voters before they are given ballots.
“No one will be allowed to vote who doesn't have proper

while to serve their class through the class council,” Croddy said.
Promises If Moss is elected, he plans to visit campus living groups with the class vice president to get individual student ideas for social. academic and cultural activities.
“Then the students will come to the class meetings since their interest will have been aroused. If we can get the interest first

This series of lectures has shown that existentialism offers a “broad orientation toward thj problem of human existence and a diversity of specific interpretations," Dr. Werkmeister said.

Officials Eye Trimester Plan

The trimester college system may be the answer to speedier education and capacity utilization
of classroom facilities.

Both schools have added a 12-ueck summer study program to the.r regular four, six and ten week plans.

Dr. Strevey reported that applications will be accepted through March 27. and he urged students, especially men, to par-tic pate in the program. Applications are available in 215 SU.
Thirty students — ten women and twenty men—will be chosen by a six-man selection committee, consisting of faculty members and administrators.
