Nonorgs Won t Join Knights, Prusseli Moans
“We aren’t getting enough membership applications from independent students,” Knight president George Prusseli complained yesterday.
Out of 150 petitions received so far for Squire and Knight membership, only five have been from independent students, he said.
“That means that we have more vacancies for independents than we have applications,” he said.
The deadline for filing Squire petitions has been set at 4 pjn. today. Knights petitioners have until 4 p.m. Thursday to pick up applications in 232 Student Union.
Written examinations will be given to Squire petitioners this afternoon at 4 in 113 Barracks Q.
Squire interviews will begin next week. Candidates will be judged on general appearance, personality, and past records. On the basis of the interviews and written examinations, the entire Knight membership selects the candidates by popular vote.

party.”
Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men. proposed that the two groups get together before the voting to promote a smooth-running election.
O'Sullivan, who is also chairman of the ASSC Greater University committee, refused, at the same time blasting University party for taking the name that his committee .has popularized.
“Unity party will not dignify the action of the GUP in exploiting the name of the group that organized ‘and conducted the parking survey,” he declared. “We will not meet with them while they continue to use that name.”
George Prusseli, GUP chairman, denied all charges of plagiarism in the choice of the party name.
“There was never any intention of making any ties with the Greater University committee. We felt that the name was significant of the type of political group that would best represent the student body as a whole and not as a separate unit.” he said.
WASN’T INTENTIONAL
“We weren’t cognizant of any outstanding success of the committee in the first place, and certainly had no desire to tie the party in with it through similarity of names.”
O’Sullivan. Unity party chairman, tied the name “plagiarism” in with the recent DT theft.
“Unity party, as a group interested in honest student government also deplores the fact that the recent theft of DTs has been dealt with in such a way as to condone such actions, and does not feel that the best interests of the student body has been served by the hurried disposition of the case,” he said.
Allen A. Arthur, vice-chairman of the Greater University committee, was also outspoken.
‘NOT INTERESTED”
“I am not interested in discussing politics with a small group of individuals w'hich has bid for a : free ride in plagiarizing the name of the ASSC committee of which I am vice-chairman.”
Arthur continued, “If the parties , responsible for the theft of the i DTs are not officially determined or disclosed, it will be just as smelly as the fraudulent election last year when not a single wrist was slapped.
"Student government cannot function when a few individuals ; engage in such activities and are ' blithely allowed to thumb their noses at the entire student, body," : he said.
Completion of the party slate and approval of the platform is due in tonight’s Greater University party meeting, at the Zeta Beta Tau house at 9.
Nominations are open for senior class president and veteran's representative. The GUP's candidate for AMS president. Doug Morgan, will announce his intentions in the forthcoming election at the meeting. Morgan has considered declining the nomination in favor of Louis Ramirez.
WON’T OPPOSE RAMIREZ Ramirez officially announced his candidacy for the men's post after GUP gave the nod to Morgan. Previously, it was reported, Morgan had agreed not to oppose Ramirez if he ran.
The party platform will be submitted by George Prusseli, GUP chairman, for approval.
Prusseli said the platform is constructed on impartiality, responsibility, cooperation, and effective government.
Included in the not-yet released platform is:
Administration recognition of the Student Life committee, rebate system in the bookstore, registration by mail, advancement of the I house, an orientation course for freshmen with possible unit credit, and a periodical ASSC presidential report to the student body.
RECOMMEND RUSHING Also included in the program will be recommendations for a “rushing" program for the university which would help bring more students to SC.
GUP also will work for the revival of Troy traditions, reinstitution of chapel periods, coordination of activities with lhe alumni association. and the advancement of the university as a cultural center, according to Prusseli.

Is Tommy a Sword Swallower? ★ ★ ★ ★ Mystery Gets Deeper
Tommy Trojan is rapidly becoming the most fought over character on campus—and probably the least concerned.
Cause of all the to-do is Tommy’s periodically missing sword. The Trojan Knights have expanded their supply of wooden swords, the last one having been stolen Mar. 31, the same day it was shoved into Tommy’s tightly clenched little fist.
M. S. Malik, secretary pro. tem of the Independent Knights, said yesterday that if the Trojan knights will not supply Tommy with a sword, “We will!”
George Prusseli, president of the Trx>jan Knights, had no comment on Malik s statement. His organization is now trying to get lighting for the statue, to prevent further pilfering when the metal sword is replaced.
The original metal alloy sword was taken regularly by UCLA students as fast as the Knights could fin* it and replace it. The cost of
the new swords is borne by the members of the Trojan Knights.
Meanwhile, Tommy himself stands calmly in silent contemplation of the Shrine roof.
