Senators to Battle in Final Race Thursday COVETED SEATS — Wally Karabian heads the Senate in which Ron Sherman and Ken Unmacht will vie for a position in DT Photo by Bob Holste Thursday's run-off elections. Here, the Senate is being addressed by Dr. Robert J. Downey, adviser to the Senate. Ken Unmacht and Ron Sherman will battle it out#*for the senator-at-large position in a special run-off election this Thursday, said Elections Commissioner Marjorie Hirsch. The two candidates were voted into a run-off situation last week when Sherman edged out Maytor McKinley by three votes enabling him, as the second man, to run in this final election ballot. Freshman class candidates on the run-off ballot will be Dick Messer and Stephan Bershad, president, and Faye Henderson and Judy Crumrine, vice president. Out of the 900 votes cast for the senatorial position, Unmacht received 359 votes. Sherman and McKinley received 276 and 273 votes, respectively. Both Unmacht and Sherman will try and fill the vacancy left by Joe Nida who had to return to Michigan because of an illness in the family. The position was put on the Freshman election ballot because Nida was declared ineligible to remain in office. A provision in the ASSC Constitution requires a senator to be enrolled at the university during his term in office. Nida has enrolled in Michigan University for this semester. Both candidates have urged everyone to come out and vote. They stressed that it is not only a duty, but a privilege. Sherman said that he was disappointed with the turnout at the polls and he thinks that “everyone should vote this Thursday. Unmacht is continuing with his pledge to help make the Senate an efficient body with concern for practical legislation Sherman is campaigning with a three point platform which includes better student - administration - relations, streamlining of ASSC Senate proceedings and the final resolution of the long-leader issue. Miss Hirsch has announced that all candidates in the election run-offs have until this Friday at 4 p.m. to turn fn their campaign materials. During the Freshman elections held last Thursday, only 497 freshmen out of an estaimated 1100, went to the polls. Other election results included the surprising win by Alan Well over Tony Mendez for Independent Mens Representative. Well defeated his former spring-time opponent by a 115-51 margin. He had previously been defeated by Mendez in the spring contest. That election was declared null and void whcn a protest by Well over the fact that the ballot listed him as “Ala Nwell,” was upheld by the Senate. The protest was filed last year and a senatorial decision sanctioning his charge resulted in this new race. Mendez said that he did not believ.e it was right for him to compaign since he was “the legal winner of the election.” He did not bother to campaign in this election, enabling Well to romp to a victory. Anne Smoyer, won an uncontested education president position and there were no candidates for the vacant Senate seats of foreign and veterans’ representatives. Elections Commissioner Hirsch said that the run-off election this Thursday would be handled in much the same manner as the Freshman elections. She urged that all students vote during the day and that they have proper identification when they come to the polls. PAGE THREE What Happened To The Senator’s Promise?

Pinkham’s “Aunt Elsa,” w'hich wall be presented by Dr. Walter Crittenden. English professor, today at the 12:30 p.m. in 129 FH. It is the third in the series sponsored by the English department held every Monday at noon. “ ‘A*int Elsa’ is a little story in the tradition of such books as Troy’s represenlative for the ‘Goodbye.

Blanhencliip, set designer; hid White, pu-diictiwn manager; Hans Leer, muiie di- j rector; and Joan Tewkesbury, ! choreographer. This second Rodgers and Ham- j mcrstcin hit followed “Oakla- i boms” a show which played 2202 performances. Critics overwhelmingly called “Carousel’’ a resounding hit. It was praised for its warm story and the sensitivity of the score. Action and Music “Carousel" was a new type of musical with its careful integra-lion of action and music. It ran for 864 Broadway performances. With a colorful setting from ihe play 'Liliom” by Hungarian playwright Ferenc Molnar, Ihe musical opened in New York, 1945. The familiar songs of ihe pro- Daily Trojan Staff Meeting All Daily Trojan reporters, t opyreader» and news editors mast report at a special meeting of the staff today at noon. Anyone who is not In attendance «ill he subject to a stiff grading penalty. duction include “If I Loved You.” “You'll Never Walk Alone.” “June is Bustin' Out All Over,” "Carousel Waltz” and "Soliloquy.” "Liliom” is the name of a good-for-nothing merry-go-round operator in the play. The Hungarian, “Lily” means "worthless follow.” "Carousel” tells of this worthless follow, renamed Billy Bigelow. He is a rough sort who somehow wins the love of “sweet” Julie Jordan, but can never bring himself to say that he loves her. I)e*parate Try Billy and Julie are »married, but Billy cannot hold himself to "erp an honest.job. Desperately trying to help his family, he participates in a robbery and is killed. The play's highlight occurs when, 16 years later, lie is fallowed one day to come toeartn to see whether has paid for his sins. Billy's outward nature is still rough, but he finally admils his love for Julie and their growing daughter. Although she lost her husband at sea many years before the story opens. Aunt Elsa continues to wait for him and talk of him as if he wrere alive. “She realizes that her husband is gone, but she prefers to think of him as a live being,” Dr. Crittenden explained. “She plays a game of make-believe with herself and the townspeople, who also know' that Aunt Elsa is quite hcrseir. “This little lady, although eccentric. is always kind and cooperative where others are concerned. She has a verv definile policy of ‘live and let live, ’ ” he said. In keening with the series theme. ‘'Discovery,’’ Dr. Critien-den said he found the book w^hile in the Navy in World War II. Forgets Troubles “I liked it immediately, for it took me temoorarily out of the spirit of training for overcoming enemies and allowed me to forget troubles.” he said. Pinkham is a rather obscure author whose main writing ex-Derience is journalism. However, he “occasionally makes excursions into the field of fiction,” Dr Crittenden explained. Auni Elsa's “battern on Ihe ceiling’’ philosophy is not presented as a moral code, but simply as one person’s w-ay of mak-ine life enjoyable, he said. Selected passages from the book wil b^ read in illustration of ihe spirit of the author’s i work. ' Different Philosophies Pinkham’s loose philosophical ideas differ from those of George | Santayana, who was discussed last week. Although both men born and raised in New England, their ideas differ great- j iy. Dr Bruce McElderrv. acting head of the English department, read selections from Santa-vana’s ‘Last Puritan” demon-l strating the deep philosophical j imolications of the writing. Dr. Drew' Pallette, of the English department, will present the noon reading next week. His sub- I ject will be “Horai-e Bell’s Ac- [ counts of the Old West.” ¡ The necessity for effective U.S. competition with the Soviet Union as well as the need for other nations to assume their share in maintaining freedom was revealed last Friday by California’s two U.S. senators. ‘It is time that other nations began assuming their share of the cost of defending freedom against agression,” U.S. Senator Thomas Kuchel told 200 members of SC’s Legion Lex. Kuchel shared the platform with U.S. Sen. Clair Engle at the third annual formal dinner of the financial support group for the School of Law at the California Club. Soviet Competition “We must be prepared to compete with the Soviet Union in trade, diplomacy, culture, political ideas and principles and in outer space, Engle said to the group of attorneys and judges. “In a very real sense the theory of self government is on trial,” explained Kuchel when asked to discuss the major problems facing our nation. Kuchel, an SC Law School graduate and present Republic whip (assistant leader) in the Senate, reported that he had no doubt of the verdict of history, but free peoples meanwhile have their work cut out for them. “That Is especially true of the people and the government of the United States because ours is the responsibility of leadership in the cause of peace with justice all around the globe,” he said. Eisenhower’s Lead The senator, who served as vice chairman of the Senate Committee on Water Resources, lauded President Elsenhower’s leadership in the struggle for world peace. *‘In my view, President Eisenhower is admirably discharging his leadership responsibility in this crucial field, and the American people overwhelmingly endorse his painstaking, constant quest for an honorable basis on which to solve the many grievous problems which plague us,” Kuchel explained. He pointed out that the United States has carried on a policy of mutual security for Itself and for the freedom loving nations of the world. “The people of our country have been generous over the years, but the defenses of freedom against agression are not the concern of our country alone,” he said. Kuchel explained that the importance of these defenses are common to all our allies, and the cost of maintaining them must be more realistically shared by all. Restored Liberty “Those war-ravaged countries whose economy is now restored and whose love of liberty is like our own need now to assume their rightful and proportionate share of the burden of deterring agression,” he concluded. Engle, too, was questioned on the nation’s problems, and maintained that our major problems are the result of Soviet activities. “The major problems facing the nation arise from the challenges of Soviet political, economic and military agression,” he said. He indicated that the nation’s intellectual, material and spiritual resources must be mobilized to meet these challenges . “To began with the people of the nation are not fully ware of the breadth and danger of these Soviet challenges. The first problem therefore is to arouse the people of the nation and their leaders,” he continued. Engle cited the second problem as that of laying out a program for successfully meeting Soviet action in each and every field that it occurs. “It isn’t enough to meet Soviet military agression. We must be prepared to fight a trade war, a diplomatic war, a cultural war, a war of political ideas and principles, a war for outer space. “How we organize to solve these problems will determine not only the future of this nation but of the free peoples of the world,” he concluded. Engle, a University of California Law School graduate, is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and a former Congressman. IR School, KUSC Join in Relaying World-Wide Happenings to Listeners Daily international happenings involving disarmament, trade competition and Communist aggression, are now being relayed to the FM listener via Perspective, KUSC's new weekly panel show’. Perspective, a 30-minute live panel presents an informative academic-type discussion dealing with the top international happenings of the day every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. The School of International Relations selects the topics to be discussed and IR students who are to be panel members for the show. Ron Way, a telecommunications major, is producer-director of the show. Nick Krivosreia. a ¡graduate IR student, is associate producer and co-ordinates the IR school with the telecommunications xlepartment. A different formal with changing panelists are used each week on Perspective. Last Thursday, Soviet Premier Khrushchev’s U. S. visit provided the discussion topic. Major areas covered were disarmament, the role of Red China and trade competition. Panelists for the Khrushchev discussion were Herman Mel-vet, graduate student specializ-in? in European affairs; Elaine Van Oosten, specialist in European affairs; Doug Power, specialist in economics; and moderator Clare Humphrey, graduate student specializing in Asiatic affairs. “This is our first attempt at DT Photo by B»>b Holste BRIEFING—KUSC-FMs producer-director, Ron Way, briefs panel members before air time on the new weekly panel show “Perspective."

Eisenhower’s Lead The senator, who served as vice chairman of the Senate Committee on Water Resources, lauded President Elsenhower’s leadership in the struggle for world peace. *‘In my view, President Eisenhower is admirably discharging his leadership responsibility in this crucial field, and the American people overwhelmingly endorse his painstaking, constant quest for an honorable basis on which to solve the many grievous problems which plague us,” Kuchel explained. He pointed out that the United States has carried on a policy of mutual security for Itself and for the freedom loving nations of the world. “The people of our country have been generous over the years, but the defenses of freedom against agression are not the concern of our country alone,” he said. Kuchel explained that the importance of these defenses are common to all our allies, and the cost of maintaining them must be more realistically shared by all. Restored Liberty “Those war-ravaged countries whose economy is now restored and whose love of liberty is like our own need now to assume their rightful and proportionate share of the burden of deterring agression,” he concluded. Engle, too, was questioned on the nation’s problems, and maintained that our major problems are the result of Soviet activities. “The major problems facing the nation arise from the challenges of Soviet political, economic and military agression,” he said. He indicated that the nation’s intellectual, material and spiritual resources must be mobilized to meet these challenges . “To began with the people of the nation are not fully ware of the breadth and danger of these Soviet challenges. The first problem therefore is to arouse the people of the nation and their leaders,” he continued. Engle cited the second problem as that of laying out a program for successfully meeting Soviet action in each and every field that it occurs. “It isn’t enough to meet Soviet military agression. We must be prepared to fight a trade war, a diplomatic war, a cultural war, a war of political ideas and principles, a war for outer space. “How we organize to solve these problems will determine not only the future of this nation but of the free peoples of the world,” he concluded. Engle, a University of California Law School graduate, is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and a former Congressman.
