Maybe Casey Kelly supported Wendell Casey for the presidential nomination, but. Mitchell believed no candidate should be endorsed if he does not want to be.

The political pranksters were at it again Monday night—leaving the sign of the Miami Triad painted on the sidewalks around campus.
Just outside the entrance to the Student Union was a big triangle. The words “Triad \ and the Greek letters for Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Chi, and Phi Delta Theta were painted in w hite. “Triad” was also printed in white on the corner of 36th street and University avenue.
Remnants of the Miami Triad stickers pasted all over campus last week are still clinging to the north doors of the Student Union building.
Members of the Triad fraternities again denied having anything to do with the prank.

YM Croup To Discuss Church Reds
What is the real threat of Communism and how does Communism conipaie with Christianity? How can we best keep our domestic liberties from the threat of totalitarian groups within the United States?
Those are some of the questions Dr. Harvey L. Seifert, professor of religion, will attempt to answer in his talk. ‘‘Meeting the Challenge of World Communism," at noon today in the international lounge. The talk is sponsored by the World Related ness committee of the YMCA.
Dr. Seifert feels we must “act widely or we will discover the means we use to protect our liberties will instead be used to take our liberty from us/’

Heathens and infidels are lurking about the campus, along with sun-worshipers, and voodooists, if one takes some of the registration religious affiliation cards seriously.
In his semi-annual religious affiliation report. Chaplain Clinton A Neyman discussed some of the in'eresting statistics compiled from the No. 3 registration cards, including the 4 per cent comprised of diabolical jesters who write such comments as “religious affiliation ... Sigma Chi."
Usually Dependable
•On the whole, these cards are considered dependable.'’ Chaplain Neyman said. “Ninety-two per cent of the students who registered last fall submitted religious affiliation on cards. Thc reports, although optional. represent a much better than avorace success in gathering such information.”
During the spring registration pericd. 5820 out of a day enrollment of 10.280 students, submitted religious activities cards. The remaining 44 per cent of the stu-
| dents failed to submit cards, partly because of the spring registration sysiem in which many of the forms did not include religious activity cards.
Proportion of Totals
Although they are not an actual breakdown of the total religious affiliations on campus, the follow- ' ing statistics represent an approximate proportion of the totals. Per- i centage-wise. the totals deviate slightly.
Divided into 5o categories, the religious affiliations statistics showed there are 3000 Protestant students. 970 Catholic students and 499 Jewish students.
The remainder includes a breakdown of the various religious sects, minority and non-Christian groups, agnostics, aetheists, miscellaneous reportings, and blank cards.
Breakdown
The total breakdown is Roman Catholic. 970; Methodist. 790; Presbyterian, 646; Jewish. 499: Protestant <as indicated on card*, 480: Protestant Episcopal. 406: Baptist. 297; no indication, 274; Disciples

Explains Differences
“Ojr agnostics are not all equally in doubt and uncertainty about the same things.'' Chaplain Neyman explained. “One of them is an ‘ignos-tic’ and another is an ‘egnostic.’ ”
According to the report, there always arc a considerable number of cards left blank or giving names ! only. Those who simply check “Protestant” (with or without i checking either “member" or “preference”) indicate nothing, the report explained.
Such casual treatment of the card may signify one or another of two or three varying attitudes. Chaplain Neyman’s report continued, varying from opposition to another form of Christianity to a vague and maybe inherited opinion about religion.
The fast-moving story concerns the escapades of a group of college students who go to Las Vegas to raise money for their show after the university refuses to back it.
One of the collegians wins the needed funds at roulette with an equation he worked out but is duped by two con men and loses the whole amount.
Hollywood Ending
The cast is stranded at the Wide Horizon hotel in the gambling city but manages to come through ln usual Hollywood fashion and produce the show.
Dancing and singing routines are woven into the plot along with several humorous situations.
Leading members of the cast are Art Tookoian as Eddie. Laurel Bump as Toni, Earl Conklin as Mitch, Courtna McMann as Linda, Jack Colton as Charlie. Eddie Earle as Freeman. Jeaneal Crowley as Connie.
Ken Shanks as DeWitt Goodrich, Mort Miller and Bob Rue as Hilo
and Stanley, Sue Brown as Dewitt's secretaiy, Howard Banks as the Indian Chief, and Helene Oats as the Chief’s daughter.
The two-act musical has been written and staged by students. Jack Tillar and Sam Spence wrote the two-act musical. Earle handles the directing. Colton is the choreographer with Miss McMann and Candy Allen as his assistants, and William White does the lighting.

Knights and Squires will serve as ushers.
To Meet for Brief Session
ASSC Senate members will hold a brief meeting tonight to consider the creation of a foreign students’ representative.
An amendment proposed by Senator-at-large John F. Bradley provides that the representative be an undergraduate with at least 60 units, have spent one year at SC, and be a citizen or permanent resident of a foreign country.
ASSC President John Bradley, in j staging, calling the special meeting, revealed Brown handle makeup, and Jerry that Senate members are making Wenzel is property man. a sacrifice to consider the amendment.
The sacrifice involved was giving up their chance to attend the premiere of the Varsity Show “Wide Horizons.” But members fervently hope that the sacrifice will be of short duration.
It is therefore expected that the meeting will be brief. The speeches will be brief, the arguments will be brief, and the vote will be brief.
In fact, it could be that this meeting will set a new record for brevity.
