IN EFFIGY
Students Are Not to Blame Says Downey
Dean of Students Robert J.
Downey reported yesterday t hat an investigation of last week’s “in effigy” hanging of President Norman Topping (so far» may show that, the instigators of the act. are persons not currently enrolled at the university.
“Any action taken by the administration again the persons responsible for the incident will constitute a serious reflection on the individual,” Dean Downey •aid.
Completion Soon Ttie? investigation, conducted by the dean of student's office, is expected to be completed by the end of the week.
“We hcpe to find out cxactiy who was responsible for organizing the incident on the Row," said Dr. Downey.
“The hanging of the President in effigy is not indicative of the Row in general. A great percentage of the people there were merely spectators,'’ declared Dean Downey.
The Dean of Students pointed out that coverage of the hanging by the metropolitan press had given the public an inaccurate picture of what took place.
Reaction to Policy
The incident was a reaction to a new scholastic policy issued by President Topping which re-quires all fraternities and sororities to raise iheir grade point j average equal to the all university average.
The President’s policy goes in- | to effect next semester and fra- , temities and sororities must achieve the academic goal within three semesters or ri^k suspension from ihe university.
Decline* Comment Dean Dow ney declined to comment on the possibility of the university’s reevaluating the scholastic policy.
“The President is the only one 1 who can comment on ihe university's position," he said.
President. Topping is currently in the east on university business. He is expected back on campus Thursday.
A second administrative policy, one involving new Inler-fra-ternitv Council and PanhcMenic regulations, is currrently oefore a re-evaluation committee. Led by IFC President Gary Eoer- ; hard. SC fraternity presidents are formulating suggestions intended to iron out problems arising from the new social regula- ! tions.
Best Interest
Dr. Downey maintains that the purpose of lhe>;e rules is to keep groups from “get I in .-; into trouble.’’
“We want to make sure older persons, whose judgment may be called upon if needed, are at social functions in order to in.-nre the best interest« of the groups involved,” he said.
Eberhard declared that ’he fraternities were cooperating1 with the administration to make the social regulations acceptable both work and to evervone.

Marshal Awards For Work in U.K Open Ts*l Oct. 26
Deadline for applications for 1? Marshall Scholarships being offered for 1960-61 is Oct. 26. said Dr. Totton J. Anderson, cha rm?n of the department of political science.
These scholarships are offered by the British government to enable graduate students, men or women, to study at any univer-*”y in th? United Kingdom in fields in which a degree can be earned within a two-year period, he said.
Three of the scholarships are reserved for candidates from the western staler.
A candidate must not lie more than 26 years old by Oct. 1, I960, but in exceptional circumstances. such as an interruption of studies for military service, students up to 2R years of age may be considered. Dr. Anderson said.
The scholarships are valued at fi.425 a year and provide for the remission of tuition. Under certain circumstances a married man’s scholarship can be increased by $570,
Tran-port-iticn costs to and fiom t He United Kingdom aie also included in the awards.

4.	Student authority in homecoming.
Assume Duties
Dr. Robert Downey, dean of students, speaking for the administration, urged the Senate to assume responsibilities in handling its own* affairs.
The Senate, he said, could be effective this year particularly in public relations.
“We need to identify and publicize outstanding students to the public in order to counteract the recent bad publicity,’’ he said.
Hit Home
A committee appointed to handle the problem suggested that oublic relations began internally.
“An Internal public relations iob must be done before the external work can be carried out. For example, we might carry a column in the Daily Trojan, basing it on facts about Troy— how many people are on scholarships. what graduates are doing and how many students go to school,” Ken Wilson, president of the School of Public Administration, stated.
Dr. John Gerletti, associate j professor. School of Public Ad- j ministration, told ihe students that members of the university must change their attitudes to- ; wards law enforcement.
In other areas of student government, Dr. Dovvnev pointed out the Senate might take a concern in giving a moral support to the band.
Bob J a n i, coordinator of special events, stated the events, brought stated the Senate's position in homecoming when he said. "The ASSC Sen- j ate has no administrative authority over homecoming."
Many of the students at the conference thought that the Homecomong plans with UCLA was an unwise decision. Because, it was an administrative decision, Jani told them that the students had no choice in the matter.
Dr. Bruce McElderry, professor of English, apologized for the absence of President Topping's direct contributions to student government.
“President Topping hasn't had much contact with students thus far. This is unfortunate, hut he s been busy putting fires out ever since he's been at SC. But we who are on the faculty know that he wants an exchange of opinion—he wants to venerate a cooperative spirit. What lie says makes sense — When he can say ves to any of your req uests, he’ll say yes. When he says no, he has reasons." he stated.
The Recreational Dance Club will reopen its dance floor tonight from 7:30 to 9:30 at the dance studio in 207 PE.
Anyone interested in joning the club may sign up at the stu-! dio tonight.
Organized by Dr. Tillman Hall, associate professor of physical education, and assisted by Jo Tobin and Susie Hoshi, the club is designed for beginners, j mas intermediate and advanced dancers who merely want to spend an evening brushing up dance steps or learning new ones.
During the evening dances, there will be social, square, and folk dancing, said Dr. Tillman.

“The risk of sacrificing one's own self-realization and creative integrity for material recognition. demonstrated so poignantly in 'Golden Boy,’ represents a very real value conflict faced by the two main characters,” Dr. Werkmeister explained.
The plot to be analyzed consists of a young v iolinist who becomes involved in professional boxing and is embittered by the realization that he is l>eing used to earn money for others and

Tomorrow First Day Of Election
By LARRY BISHOP
Candidates for freshmen offices will be “put on the spot’* today when they appear at the special political rally in the Elisabeth von KleinSmid Hall rec-j reation room at 3 p.m.
The prospective frosh leaders will be subjected to pointed questions by a four-man panel of student leaders in a type of political meeting that is a new 1 concept in student government I at SC.
Question Hour
Bill Steigerwalt. junior class president and innovator of the | "question hour,” said that this meeting will give the voters an “excellent opportunity” to become familiar with the aims of | the candidates.
“We hope we can stimulate interest in the political aspect of student government on the part of the members of the freshman class as a whole rath-! er than just the Row residents,” Steigerwalt said.
‘Fine Thin?’
Davie Barnes, senior class president and one of the panel of questioners, said this meeting , will be “one of the finer things attempted at SC.”
Questions that will be fired at the candidates will give an indication of the “depth of thought” i that each candidate has given | to his campaign. Barnes added. The questioning panel will consist of Barnes, sophomore class president Hugh Helm, and Chuck Everett and Bob Gough, past freshman presidents.
Open for Questions After the panel haj finished questioning the candidates, the meeting will be opened for questions from the floor, Barnes said.
The elections, which will be held tomorrow and Thursday, will feature, in addition to th*> freshman races, the race for the vacant senator-at-large seat.
In many respects overshadowing the freshman issues, the senator-at-large race involves three candidates -— Maytor McKinley. Ronald Sherman and Ken Unmacht.
Lists Qualifications McKinley has served as a Squire and a Knight, was on the Sophomore Class Council, the Songfest Committee and was controller general of the Model United Nations.
Sherman lists experience in such s t u d e nt activities as Knights. Squires. Phi Eta Sigma (freshman honorary). Greater University Committee, Com-m e r c e treasurer and AMS Cbnstmas chairman.
Unmacht also lists -member-shin in Knights and Squires. In addition he has been on IFC and Model United Nations and is currently on the High School -Junior College Relations committee.
Didn't F.nroll
The senator-at-large seat became vacant when it was learned that Joe Nida. elected to that post last spring, was called back to his Michigan home and did not enroll at SC this semester.
Another unusual feature of the coming election will be the re-election of the independent
men's renresentative.
Tony Mendez and Allen W^ll must renew their contest because Well's name was misspelled on the spring ballot and the election for this post was invalidated.
Mendez had won the previous race by a majority vote, but Well maintained that many of his constituents did not recognize his name.
