MAVIS SHAMES, winner of the title, "Our Girl," from Phi Kappa Tau fraternity, is shown with Bill Lyon, president, and brother Bill Monteith as she was given the large perpetual trophy for her Alpha Delta Pi house and the smaller one for herself. She is the second girl of her sorority to win the honor since the award began.
Mavis Shames Chosen Our Girl' by Fraternity
Sproul, president of the University of California.
“The University of Southern California mourns with you the tragic loss of Clarence A. Dykstra,” President Fagg wired. "We know him as a distinguished educator, patriotic citizen, and valued friend, who brought keen understanding, wise advice, and great personal charm to every council table he attended. His record of high accomplishment will ever remain a bright etching in our memories."
Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid telegraphed Mrs. Dykstra:
‘ Please accept this expression of deepest sympathy with you and other members of the family on the passing of your husband and my good friend. He did a noble work and w’ill be sadly missed. My thoughts and prayers will be much with you these days.’’
Panhellenic President Mavis G-! Shames was chosen this year’s "Our Girl" by Phi Kappa Tau fraternity last Saturday night during their annual White Orchid formal at the Valley Hunt club ball room in Pasadena.
Bill Lyon. Phi Tau president, presented the three-foot tall perpetual trophy to Miss Shames, a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority.
The contest was started last year when the Phi Taus decided to add something original to the many campus sweethearts, dream girls, and queen contests. The title “Our Girl" was chcsen for that reason. Although beauty and personality
were two factors in the judging, the most important point in the selection was the friendly feeling existing between the candidates and the fraternity’s members.
‘‘By not holding eliminations among girls who just happened to be representing a particular soror- j ity and by net making a give-away 1
program of the award, we feel that when we choose a girl, she is ‘Our Girl,’’ said Ken Vaughn, committee chairman.
CUP-Unity Blast Stalls Springtime
by ROGER HOLMES
Spring did not get a chance to come in yesterday, even though the weather was right for it. Instead, it had to wait for the thaw of frigid relations between GUP and Unity electioneers.
No spring petals came waltzing into the arms of the brisk west wind, but only GUP’s posters and Unity’s handbills.
Sounds were not of singing birds, but of the wails of GUP observers protesting Unity campaign methods.
Twice Don Gevirtz, chairman of a three-man Senate investigating committee to review complaints pertaining to the election, received complaints about campaign stunts. t Once yellow leaflets were found in the voting area.
Once a Railway Express truck labeled "Unity Express” rumbled

Top Candidates Fail to Debate
What happened to the Al Wig-gins-Jack Shaffer debate in front of the Student Union at noon yesterday?
Don Gevirtz, chairman of the Senate Investigation committee, said it was “purely a ‘technical’ failure of not getting the debaters together at the designated time."
Special permission to hold the debate had been obtained by Gevirtz because stumping on election days is a violation of a university-ruling.
Permission for the debate was given at 11:15 a.m., Gevirtz said, but he was unable to get Wiggins and Shaffer together in time for i the political forensics.
Wiggins said his publicity direc- . tor had told him earlier that debate was “definitely off.” However,! Wiggins said, he Was at the island

Candidate Has Name Left Out
More than 1300 students voted in the ASSC election yesterday, but most of them voted on incomplete ballots.
Until 3:15 students were not asked to state whether or not they were Independents because the name of the candidate for Independent representative had been left ofi the ballot by the printers.
Earlier in the afternoon, Paula Rowlands, candidate for president of the School of Education, complained to Election Commissioner Bob Reynolds that certain education majors were not getting the proper ballots.
Some students enrolled in LAS are majoring in education, she explained. When they went through the polls they were given LAS ballots. One candidate for Education council couldn’t even vote for herself, Miss Rowlands said.
MAKES REQUEST
Upon the request of Ted Donaldson. education president, LAS students asking for education ballots were given them by election workers.

Padgett said that there was a lack of desire by a majority of the Senate members to solve the greatest problem that faced them, the reorganization of ASSC governmental structure.
“It was my firm hope that proposed reorganization would bring about a more functional student government and impress upon the participating students that the ASSC president Bob Padgett ;aid main objectives of the student at the Senate hasn't done as Senate are to serve the student uch as it should.	body and to build a greater univer-
“Too many student politicos1 sity,” said Padgett.
Padgett said he plans to make a report to President Fagg at the end of the year to point out areas in student life which have not received adequate administrative attention and some reasons for the lack of interest by a large percentage of the student body.
Howard Kotler, senator-at-large said that he feels ths Senate has done "quite a bit" despite an overabundance of arguing.
He said that more work has been done by committees than has been done on the floor of the Senate.

Aussie Radio Scheduled as Forum Topic
Problems of radio production will have an international flavor when Camille Montgomery, formerly with the Australian Broadcasting com-mis'ion, discusses her work on the final Radio-Television forum, 4:15 tomorrow in 145 Hancock.
Miss. Montgomery, one of four panel members, will describe her two years' work with the Youth
Education section of ABC. This is jn front 0f student Union at 11:30. one of the primary functions of the j an(j f0lincj no opponent.
Australian radio since many Australian children get their education entirely by broadcasts and correspondence because of the great distances between settlements.
Programs range from kindergarten to advance language courses and have been so successful they have been copied in Canda and Norway.
Not all shows are aimed at education, however, because entertainment is also in demand. The government sponsors artists from every part of the world.
Miss Montgomery thinks their productions are more artistic because time means nothing and theatricals, the most popular type of show, are given in their entirety.
Shows are also better cast, she said, because actors alternate between radio and the movies.
Just to prove she’s become a real American, she will portray a gangster's moll in the take-off on “Sam Spade” which will accompany the panel discussion.
Unity said the debate failed to come off because Wiggins didn't show up. They failed to explain Shaffer’s absence.

. . . entries must be in the counselor of men's office, 225 SU, not later than 4 p.m. today.
The possibility of a Bruin-Trojan faculty baseball game at Catalina on Sunday was voiced yesterday by Jack Gardner, LAS council organizer for the LAS-sponsored Catalina day.
Since UCLA and Troy are both going to “land" on the island Sunday, Gardner said he was trying to arrange a peaceful meeting on the diamond of the rival faculties.
Gardner said that he was trying to contact UCLA faculty members, and that nothing was definite yet.
More than four hundred SC students are expected to make the trip. The student-faculty ‘ baseball game is scheduled for 2 p.m. at Catalina ballpark.
Faculty players are Tracy E. Strevey, dean of LAS. pitcher; Harry Smith, frosh football coach, catcher; Richard Berg, interfraternity coordinator, frist base; Bernard L. Hyink. dean of students, second base; Lowell Noonan, instructor in political science, third base; Albert Zech, counselor of men. short stop; Ralph Smith. AROTC instructor, left field; Roy Baker, assistant football coach, center field: and Forrest Twogood, frosh baseball coach, right field.
Ticket sales will continue until Thursday at the traffic island, in front of the Student Union. The
round trip and dinner at Arno’s Seafood Grotto at Catalina costs $5.
Mot'or launches will leave the Harbor Water Taxi docks in Wilmington at 9:30. Sunday morning. Returning launches will leave Avalon at 7 Sunday night.
Students making the trip may park their cars near the Wilmington water taxi dock.

date Wayne McClaskey were used because he was unopposed on the ballot. But McClaskey said:
"If there’s a write-in candidate running against me. I’m being discriminated against, and I'm worried.’’
Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men, brought a supply of corrected ballots from the printer .
VOID BALLOTS Thirty ballots had to be voided because voters had not marked the Xs properly after the names of the candidates for senator-at-large.
“We are- using the Hare system of voting," Election Commissioner Reynolds explained.
“Students should mark an Xt in column No. 1 after their first choice. They should mark an X in column No. 2 for their second choice, and so on for the rest of their choices.” The polls opened at 10:40 yesterday morning. 40 minutes late. Voting was delayed because the voting equipment was not delivered by the Operation and Maintenance department on time.
TRAFFIC EASED The backlog that had been built up was quickly eliminated after the polls opened, and only once during the day’s operation did a voter have to wait.
Today at noon the election commission will send a three-man delegation to the County hospital to receive the School of Medicine vote.
The votes will be counted Wednesday or Thursday, depending on when the polls close. Reynolds has promised the polls will stay open an extra day if the traffic is heavy on Wednesday.

A safety valve to relieve pressure on strained facilities in the SU cafeteria is being set up in the SU patio.
Chairs and tables to accommodate approximately 150 coffee drinkers have been placed in the patio as a temporary measure, said Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men. yesterday. He suggested that coffee drinkers and students who bring their lunches should use the patio to enable those buying meals to use the cafeteria.
DOUBLE LOAD The SU cafeteria is carrying a its double load since the Town and Gown has been dosed to facilitate the moving of its equipment to Commons building. There is little possibility t.hat the Commons cafeteria will be opened this semester, Dr. Zech added.
In the meantime, it has been suggested that the grill in the SU basement be open full time for the sale of coffee and doughnuts.
Dr. Zech requested that students turn in letters to the DT editor suggesting other possibilities for relieving the situation.
PADGETT ASKS In a letter addressed to Students and Faculty Members. Bob Padgett, ASSC president, backed up Dr. Zech’s suggestions:
• “The closing of Town and Gown cafeteria means doubling the load on our already overtaxed Student Union cafeteria and coffee grill for the remainder of this semester. Until the Commons building is officially open for business, I am kindly asking for your consideration and cooperation on this problem. After you have finished your coffee or lunch, as the case may be, would it be possible for you to make room for the next person who might be standing in line waiting for your chair? Any assistance that you might give will be appreciated by myself, the entire student body, and the faculty.”
