“The two-hour drill and sludv sessions aie planned to replace part of the time a student would normally spend at honv in preparation for his lessons.-’
They do not increase the work load of the students but make learning easier and more effective. he stressed.

Selected movies in Chinese with vocabulary and explanations provided by the instructional staff are also being planned for the innovatory course, he said.
“The new facilities and methods will enable students to learn to read, speak and write Chinese more fluently and more efficiently in a considerably shorter period of time," he emphasized.

VOTING PROTEST INVAID, DEAN OF STUDENTS RULES
A protest filed against the ASSC vice presidential election was ruled invalid yesterday by Dr. Robert J. Downey, dean of students.
The ruling declared that there was no factual basis for protesting Sharon Kelley’s victory.
“The protest was not concrete and was based only on hearsay,” Dr. Downey said, explaining his decision.
“All the claims made in the protest were only things which students had said,” he added.
Judy Ashkenazy, a junior, had filed the protest on the grounds that the votes had not been counted properly and that the polls were closed before the 4 p.m. deadline.
Miss Ashkenazy debated the terms “hearsay” by arguing. “I based my claim on what I had been told by Bart Porter, an elections officials.”
“I thought that Porter, who is also on Men’s Judicial, was a responsible person, so I took what he had said to be correct.
“In this sense, what I had said was not hearsay,” she added.
In answer to her charges against the election, Dr. Downey revealed that he himself had been present at the ballot counting to see that there were no errors.
“As an added precaution, Bob Jani, coordinator of special events, counted the ballots by hand,” Downey said.
As to the controversy which arose over the time the polls closed. Dr. Downey said that there was nothing incorrect in that area of the voting procedure either._______________________	,
Troy Democratic Club Opens Member Drive
Bruin Cheats ill Get Axe
UCLA's recent decision to dismiss all students guilty of cheating makes that university the vanguard of the “get tough” school of thought in the war against cheaters.
“I don’t know of any other university at the present that has a stronger policy on this,” said Byron H. Atkinson, UCLA associate dean of students.
In the past, UCLA had a four-step system of penalties for cheaters. First offenders usually drevy the minimum of failure in the course, while others were dismissed for more flagrant examples of cheating, and associated acts of plagiarism and “ghost writing.”
Not only will cheaters be expelled from UCLA, but students who contribute to the cheating of others or who even give the appearance of cheating will also be dismissed from the university.
Trojan Democratic Club members will hold their first meeting chaired by new officers today as the club initiates a membership drive with a goal 01 1000 students.
The young Democrats — with new leaders Larry Young, president; Bill Shank, Ted Tizyna and Sari Gilfenbain, v ice presi- j d e n ts ; Sue Warschaw, secretary; and Harry Lohdell, treasurer; — will also discuss plans for upcoming activities at the meeting in 103 FH at 2:15 p.m.
“Some members will participate as delegates to the Mock ; National Convention, held at1 Los Angeles State College this j Saturday,” President Young said.
He added that a beach house, party is scheduled for May 6 in I
Santa Monica and the club is seriously trying to bring Sen. Lyndon Johnson, Senate majority leader and presidential hopeful, to speak on campus in May.
Young said that students who join the club now will not orWy benefit by these social events but will be able to participate with the club in the National Convention and presidential campaign this summer.
“The Democratic convention will meet in the Sports Arena during July to select a presidential candidate,’’ he said. “This impotrant historic event will take place only a half-mile from the campus.”
Young takes over as president from Bob Chick. Chick graduates in June.
UCLA Drops Requirement
By PK.NNY LKRNOIX Asst. City Editor
The question of to drop or not to drop physical education has again risen at SC as its Westwood neighbor puts into action a faculty decision to terminate an all-university requirement of FE courses tor graduation at the freshman and sophomore levels.
The pre-Easter ruling made by UCLA’s Academic Senate now places the decision of taking physical education courses in the hands of the students and individual colleges.
May Continue
The Westwood campus colleges may require or not require physical education courses. Consequently, PE may become a requirement for graduation like science or language, but it will be a requirement of the individual college, not the university, as is the current practice at SC.
However, if the individual college does not make physical education a requirement for graduation in its particular field, the student will be free to make his own decision since PE would become an elective.
All Decisions
At UCLA the LAS College has already decided to make PE an elective.
At SC the question of maintaining physical education courses as requirements is decided by an all-university curriculum committee.
This committee also forms decisions on all other courses offered by the university as to whether or not they should be requred for graduation.
"Recently, the School of Commerce petitioned the committee to drop second-year physical education requirements, and their request was complied with,” said Howard W. Patmore, SC registrar.
Effect Debatable
However, although the request came from the school, the decision was made by the committee, he added.
What effect UCLA’s decision may have on SC rulings is debatable.

Krain, whose name originally was Krainukov, was born in j Russia where his father was a j general in the Czar's army.
Krain himself served in the White Russian forces in World j War I and then made his way to China where he was employed by the old Universal Newsreel.
His motion pictures of the bombing of the Cathay and Palace hotels in Shanghai in 1937 were hailed as spectacular newsreel films.
Because of the dangers he braved in filming wars and floods in the Orient. Lloyds of London once charged his newsreel employers a $900 per month premium to insure Krain's life.
