Former Stu dent Activities Syste m Recognized
NEW DEAL—Student activities offices reorganization has resulted from overload on old single office. Among the listeners of Dean of Students Robert J. Downey's
explanation of the new system yesterday were student activity officers, left to right above, Janet Kazanjian, Lonnie Watson, Hart Miller and Jo Anne Noothan.
Reorganization in the field of student activities is the result of the inadequacy of the former system, Dr. Robert J. Downey, dean of students, reported yesterday.
“The old Student Activities Office no longer exisits . because it was forced to coordinate too many campus events,” the dean explained at a special meeting of'representatives from all recognized university organizations.
He pointed out that the office was trying to *do too much and trying to cover too many areas of student activities, resulting in some! highly successful events as well as some less successful ones.
New Offices
“The Student Activities Office has been divided into several new offices to facilitate coordination,” Dr. Downey told the group.
University publi cations such as the Daily Trojan and the El Rodeo are now under the jurisdiction of the Manager of Publications, Tim
Reilly.
“Reilly’s function is to supervise budgets and see that publication schedules are met,” he said.
Another new administrator is Miss Shirley Barkley, counselor of women’s organizations. Miss Barkley is responsible for coordinating all women's organizations, including AWS, Pan Hellenic and Independent Women’s Council.
Social Activities
John Berne is now serving in the newly created post of counselor of men’s organizations as the counterpart of Miss Barkley. Both are administratively responsible for the social program of the university.
“The office of special events, headed by Bob Jani, has been created in an attempt to achieve university-wide unification in special events,” Dean Downey pointed out.
This office will handlej major activities like Homecoming and Songfest as well as athletic rallies, elections, I
worship services and social events on the Row.
Good Public Relations
Jani, who was introduced by Dr. Downey, told the students that “good public relations on the behalf of the university are needed to overcome recent bad publici-, ty.”
He asked the representatives to remind their groups that stdents’ conduct at football games was especially important.
“Let people see us at our best and let us be respbnsive to the band, attentive during the National Anthem and ! cooperative during card stunts,” he asked.
Jani pointed out that a; special activity sign-up day ; would be held on Oct. 13 to enable different organizations to have membership sign-ups. A table will be set ; up on University ave. for this purpose.
Special Instructions
He then called on various students serving as committee heads to give special instructions explaining proce-
dures for coming events.
Janet Kazanjian, ASSC recognition chairman, reminded organization representatives that all groups seeking recognition by the university must complete and return the forms distributed at the meeting.
New organizations must include a copy of their constitution or by-laws, she pointed out. All forms are due Wednesday in 230 SU.
Jani then introduced Trish Dwyer, ASSC vice president. Miss Dwyer stressed the fact that any social event given by any campus organization must be petitioned with her office the Tifesday preceed-ing the event.
Homecoming Revised
Homecoming Ch a i r m a n Thad Brown reported that Homecoming for 1959 has been revised. Trolios will be replaced by the Homecoming Show, and the queen contest and Troyland will be continued.
This year’s Homecoming game will be with UCLA, who will be observing their
own Homecoming. The show will consist primarily of humorous presentations, rather than Songfest-type entertainment, Brown explained.
Petitions for Helen of Troy, Troyland and the show will be given out Monday in 230 SU and must be returned by Oct. 16. Fees are required in most instances.
Jani concluded by asking for student support in these various activities, emphasising attendance at basketball games.
Full Stands
“Basketball is convenient now with the new Sports Arena, and we shoud have full stands at every game,” he said. He requested that social groups plan activities around the games.
Jani also announced the formation of a new spirit group, the Trojanaires. The Trojanaires will consist of from 18 to 20 singers who will appear at football games to assist in the singing of school songs. Anyone who can read music and likes to sing may apply.

The two lots on Exposition and Hoover blvd. and behind Town and Gown Foyer, will *be closed to student parking on Monday and Tuesday so that the Faculty Club can open the lots to patrons of the World Series games.
The faculty lot in this area will be used for the same purpose.
ASSC Vice President Trish Dwyer estimated that approximately $2500 will be raised for the building fund if the lots are used on both days.
If the series is completed in only four games, however, the lots will be re-opened to students and faculty on Tuesday.
The price to the public for parking has not yet been determined.

Disciple Paul To Be Topic Of Service
A better undet*standing of Paul through the history and development of the Christian religion will be discussed during the Sunday morning worship service by Chaplain Clinton A. Neyman, at 11 in Bovard Auditorium.
Chaplain Neyman will replace the Rev. Gwilym Morgam, rural dean of Salford, Lancashire, Eng., who was prevented by illness from keeping his appointment to speak at SC this Sunday.
In his sermon, “A Man Named Paul,” Chaplain Neyman will present Paul as a controversial figure on his own day and in our modem age.
Man and Writer
“Since Paul was an outstanding actor in the great religious drama of the first century, we should study and understand him, both as a man and as a writer,” he said.
The chaplain will also present Paul as one of the first of the highly educated persons to be convinced of the undying significance of the person, the message and the work of Jesus.
“Almost overnight, Paul changed from persecutor to protagonist, a man so transformed that his former name no longer suited him,” he said.
In the two previous worship services, Chaplain Neyman has spoken on “The Church in the University” and “Challenges and Choices”. This Sunday’s sermon will be connected with these messages by the same underlying theme of preparation for life.
Responsive Reading
Stevie Adams, ASSC Secretary and former Senator - at - Large, will lead the responsive reading at this week’s non-denomination-al service.

Economics Professor Blasts Unions For Violence, Senseless' Demands
By BARBARA EPSTEIN
The growing power of unions and labor bosses — amplified in the current steel strike — can be curtailed only by prohibiting all but “voluntary unionism” and by making violence in labor disputes a federal offense, and
SC economics professor said today.
Only by taking these measures c?n the power of union leaders be lessened and the inherent dangers of unionism be eliminated, he declared.
Senseless Strike
“The steel strike called by union leader David R. McDonald 79 days ago is absolutely senseless,” he stated emphatically.
I “Steelworkers, receiving an average annual income of $6000, I are among the highest paid in ! industry.”
A recent survey indicates that j the majority of steel workers did not even feel a strike was necessary at this time but had to submit to union pressures when the strike was called.
Extravagant Demands The steel companies had just announced that w'ages would be boosted next year and that new personal and fringe benefits would go into effect in 1960. Nevertheless, union leaders, strivng to outdo other union officials, made the extravagant , demands, he said.
This shows the real strength the union has today, he declared. “In a situation where workers did not really need wage increases and where they were, in fact, satisfied with their current earnings and ben-; efits, they had to walk off the job," the economics professor maintained.
Decent Wages “If unionism were voluntary, those who felt current salaries w'ere sufficient could go back to i w’ork. This would prove that the wages they were getting were really decent. If workers were not satisfied they could wralk off the job and thereby prove to , management that tha wages
are too low,” he emphasized.
"Twenty or thirty years ago when unions were young and had to throw their weight around in order to make decent gains for the workers .compulsory action and membership were necessary,” he said.
Evil Potential Now, the SC economist asserted, unions hold the greatest potential for evil in the United States. “Next to the federal government, they are the largest monopoly in the country.
“The worker should not be forced to join the union unless that is his desire,” he maintained. “And if he gets fed up .(Continued on Page 2)
FAREWELL CHESTER — Yell King Chuck Phillips raises Chester, his pet chimpanzee, in front of the SC rooting section for the last time, as ASSC Senate announced the mascot's abolishment last Wednesday evening.
School Loses Chimp, Gains Singer for Rally
Singer Bobby Darin Will Be at SC Rally
Crooner Bobby Darin, currently receiving the plaudits of TV viewers and nightclub goers across the nation for his number one record hit, “Mack the Knife,” will highlight the noon football pep rally in front of Bovard Auditorium today.
SC’s marching band and the five yell leaders will also be present for this semester's first noon rally.
Jerry Sherman, rally chairman, said a representative from the Athletic Department and a player from the Trojan gridiron squad will speak to the rooters.
During the festivities, Darin will be made an honorary SC Yell King and will be presented with a Trojan sweater.
He will sing his current hit “Mack the Knife” at the noontime show as well as several other songs from his latest album, “That’s All.”
Yell King Chuck Phillips and his cohorts, Sherman, Tim Clark, Brad Liebman and Chuck Ora-peza will lead Trojan rooters in a number of yells.
The Troy band will also play a number of marches and other spirited music.
“Many fraternities and sororities are packing lunches In brown paper bags in order to attend the rally,” said Sherman.
“I hope other students will do the same thing and attend the rally to give support to the team which u*ill beat Ohio State in (Continued on Page 2)
Senate Votes Chimp Out As SC Mascot
“If SC has jackasses in their student government, why not a chimpanzee on the yell leading squad,” blasted Yell King Chuck Phillips today.
Phillips’ charge followed the "abolishment” of Chester, SC’s newest yell-getting gimmick, by the ASSC Senate last Wednesday evening.
“I think this abolishment by the Senate is thoroughly ridiculous as the animal is not a university mascot, but simply my pet which is entirely outside of senatorial jurisdiction,,r Phillips said.
Although the resolution that “the Senate does not favor the addition of monkeys to the cheerleading staff,” was passed unanimously, Phillips still intends to bring Chester to the SC-Ohio State game tonight.
He also informed the Senate that Chester is not a monkey, but rather a chimpanzee.
The resolution to abolish Chester was introduced on the Senate floor by Dayle Barnes, senior class president.
During a heated debate on the resolution, Larrv Young, senator-at-large, said that Chester was in the same class with “clowns and belly dancers, all of which are unappropriate to Troy-dition.”
Wally Karabian, ASSC president. however, turned over his gavel to the vice president in order to express his views.

By LLOYD SUTTON
SC and Ohio State—two of the country’s top-rated football powers—clash tonight at 8 p.m. in the Coliseum in one of the most important intersectional games of the
season.
A throng of 40,000 is expected to witness the battle
between the Buckeyes from the Big Ten, tied for tenth on the UP1 poll, and the host Trojans, rated sixth in the nation by the same wire service.
KNX will air the contest with Chick Heam giving the blow-by-blow commentary.
The game is expected to be a battle of mammoth fonvard walls, as both squads are primarily running teams.
Weight Edge Ohio State has a front line of 219 pounds per man in the first unit, while Troy is five pounds shy at 214.
What may be more important in tonight’s titantic is that OSU is far ahead in the backfield so far as weight is concerned. The Buckeye ball carries average 208 pounds, outweighing the Trojans by 23 pounds per man.
The total team weight average is 215 to 204, in favor of the Big Ten power.
Giant Linemen Coach Woody Hayes’ first string personnel includes such gridders as Ernest Wright at left tackle, 242 pounds; Don Young, left guard, 222; Gabriel Hartman, right guard, 214; and Jim Tyrer, the right tackle who tops the line with his 248 pounds.
The ends are two of the best blockers in the Big Ten, Tom Perdue and Jim Houston.
The backfield is also far from being underweight. Only one man, Tom Mate, the right halfback, is less than 200 pounds.
We weighs 190. Quarterback Jerry Field, 209; left half Bob Ferguson, 217, and fullback Bob White, 214, comprise the first eleven.
All-American Candidate White is the big gun in Ohio State’s running offense, an All-American candidate last year who is% bidding for honors again this season.
SC’s injury situation has taken an upswing as fleet Lynn Gaskill is expected to start at his regular right halfback spot.
Gaskill, the Trojans’ top rusher, sustained a hip point in last week’s game.
Dan Ficca, however, will not start, which will put Garry Fin-neran at left tackle. Ficca still has ankle trouble, which has been plaguing him for the past two w'eeks.
Prukop To Start A good running quarterback,
A1 Prukop, the junior form Mt.
Carmel, will start for Troy. He and Ben Charles will alternate throughout the game.
The rest of the Trojan staff will remain the same. George Van Vliet and Marlin McKeev-er will handle the end posts,
Finneran and Al Bansavage at tackles, Mike McKeever and Ron Mix at guards, and Dave Morgan at center.
Besides Gaskill and Prukop, the backfield will be composed of Jerry Traynham at left half, and Clark Holden at full.
Depth Big Factor Depth may play a big factor in the duel. Both second team squads are big and should get in for more than their share of playing time.
The Buckeyes have four players well over 200 pound* in their second string line. !
Election Time For Freshmen Draws Near
The annual freshman elections, bolstered in importance by the
re-election of five senatorial positions, moved into the secord round of pre-election formalities today when Marjorie Hirsch, elections commissioner, called a mandatory meeting of all candidates.
The meeting will be held at 2 p.m. in 418 SU, and all candidates must attend or they will be dropped from the race, Miss Hirsch said.
In the first round of the October elections, all candidates turned in their petitions which were thoroughly checked by the newly appointed elections commission late last night.
Petitions Approved
Fourteen candidates, filing petitions for the freshman posts of president and vice president, were checked out and approved.
For the top position of the frosh class the six candidates are Stephen Bershad, Donald Meeker. Dick Messer, Ken Payne, Chuck Rea and Chuch Weber.
For the vice presidential post, Judy Crumrine, Barbara Gamble, Judy Arnold, Karen Hubenthal, Orlene Klinker, Marcia Rosen, R a y e Henderson and Pauline Loomos are in the running.
All of these candidates must attend the meeting today, Miss Hirsh warned.
Senatorial Race
The freshman elections, scheduled for Oct. 14 and 15, will have, in addition to the freshman presidential and vice presidential races, a race for five senatorial seats.
Petitions were turned in yesterday for four of these offices, but there have been no candidates for the lone position of senator-at-large.
“Because Senator-at-Large Joe Nida had to resign his post due to illness at home, we are ex-tending the senator-at-large deadline until 3 p.m. today,” Miss Hirsch said.
Vet’s Rep. Needed
Of thrive senatorial positions left open due to election nrs-takes or academic-social reasons last year, only the veterans’ representative position had no applicants.
Two candidates. Alan Well and Tony Kendez, will run for independent men’s representative; Anne Smoyer will run for educational president; and Jim Jam-shidi was the lone candidate for foreign students representative.
Disqualification
However, Jamslvdi, wh:le possessing a 2.8 grade average for last semester, was disqualified last night by Miss Hirsch because his accumulative grade was 2.4.
Miss Hirsch said that she would explain all of the election rules and regulations of campaigning to the candidate« at today’» meeting.
