Office Aspirant Claims Clique Sways ASSC
By I OK SALT/MAN Daily Trojan City Editor
A candidate for ASSC office fii d angry charges at ASSC President Wally Kaiabian and other student leaders yesterday when he ricc arcd iliat SC’s stu-neni government is being run hv a selective self-interest clique, not hr representative? interested in students.
Jim Harmon. junior class presidential candidate, said that
*	clique is controlling the government hy defeating political aspirants of the past through manipulation and dirty political practices.
"Because of student apathy, this «lique has managed to keep its hold on our government through unelhical voting and appointive procedures," he said.
Destroy Posters
He said that the clique is a group that would even stoop to tearing down postets and banners.
"Students should know of the unethical tactics lhat the clique uses before campaigning even begins." he said.
Harmon maintained that this selective group, led by President Karabian and ASSC presidential candidate Bill Sleigerwalt, has managed to turn student government into a comedy, forcing ihe student body to lose in1ere>t in the government.
“In fact. Karabian has already said to me that the ASSC presidency was his meal ticket into law school.” he added.
Do Nothing
“The majoritv of our presem student leaders get plenty of self-glorifying publicity and they accomplish nothing,” he said.
He issued harsh criticism at the clique by insisting that "our leaders are simply ‘using’ their offices and thinking very little
•	bout the student body.”
Harmon gave a personal example of the "clique" in action by explaining that Karabian eased him out of the Blood Drive Chairmanship one week before the drive.
Position Denied
"Mike Guhin. Greater University chairman, asked me lo lake ihe chairmanship early Iasi fall, and then before the drive, he told me thai Steve Feldman had been given the posiiion." he said.
"When I asked why. he told me that Karabian had demanded it.” Harmon declared.
He said that his previous suc-ecss with the Christmas Show had assured Guhin that he was qualified for the job.
He said that he had planned the drive for weeks and 1 h a t Feldman’s failure with the drive v. as due to lack of planning.
Fraternity Opposition
"Now 1 find that 1 am running against one of Karabians fraternity brothers «Denny Metier t lor junior class presidency," he said.
“It seems lhat Kaiabian pul

50 pies were tossed at the fundraising and fun-raising activities on the front lawn of the TEP fraternity house and more is expected 1o be raised as ihe contest continues at noon today.
"We’re ahead of last year’s total for this contest at this time,” reported Sharon one of the participants in yesterday’s event. "But we still have a long way to go to reach our $2000 goal, two fifth.^ of the total Troy Chest aim of $5000.”
End Comes
However, Miss Kelly added a note of optimism when she said that the members of the Troy Chest committee do expect to make the set mark.
The end to yesterday's pie throwing contest came when the TEP and ZBT houses engaged in a pie throwing contest of their own on the TEP front lawn.

Coach Cautions Fans To Scan Wing Plays
By BARBARA EPSTEIN
Keep your eye on the end positions to find out what's happen-| ing on the football field was Coach John McKay’s lesson of ihe day for ihe SC Faculty Club ; yesterday.
The football coach told his lunch - hour “class” that the fan in the stands can follow field tactics by carefully watching activity in the wings.
If ihe team is going to run with the ball or pass it, the ac-lion can generally be predicted by wing activity, he said.
"Just watch the way the team spreads out.” the new head coach advised.
If the opposing team throw's heavy defense on the ends, chances arc the Trojans will run wilh the ball.
Open to Pass
If no one moves in on the end. he’ll probably be open to a pass, said Coach McKay.
‘‘We would probably run with the ball all day and never throw' it if the other team threw a nine - man line against us.’’ he said.
McKay's theoiy of football rests on the ‘position” play.
“We only want the ball when it is in the position we want it.” he said.
This means that the Trojans will normally not drive headlong toward the goal unless ihey are within the opposition's 40 - yard line.
•Possession' Theory
Other teams sometimes follow th* “possession” theory. They take the ball and keep it no matter where it is, McKay explained.
"If we are way ahead or way behind well thrqw the ball a lot.” McKay continued.
The new football coach in-
Art Professor To Judge Era Of Old Tombs
Egyptian and Chinese tomb art and architecture will be compared at today's SC Medical School humanities lectures.
Dr. Karl With, professor of art al UCLA, will discuss the ancient tombs of Egypt and China emphasizing their designs and contents at the Medical School lecture series in the main auditorium of the Los Angeles General Hospiial at noon.
Speaking on "Sepulchral Art and Architecture in Ancient Egypt and China.” Dr. With w ill compare ihe figures and reliefs of Egyptian Mastabas. or nobles’ tombs, with those of their Chinese counterparts, wdth emphasis on their outstanding similarities.
One of the similiarities to be noted will be the correlation between elaborate figures and relief and the dead.
Dr. With will attempt to show that the kind of art and architecture with which today’s civilization lives was reserved exclusively for the dead in ancient Egypt and China.
sisted thal defense was the biggest element in Ihe game.
“If Ihe other leam doesn’t score, we can’t be beaten.” he laughed.
Football players have to be able to think quickly if they expect to win games, he maintained.
Quick Changes
Plays usually have to be changed quickly and each player has a changed blocking assignment with each one.
SC has about 17 running plays to each side and about 15 different pass routes. Coach McKay said.
Each one carries with it different instructions lor the player on the field and he must be able to ael on each rapidly, he added.
What are SC's chances this
year?
McKay thinks the University of Washington will capture the

Winning Philosophy
His philosophy o f winning football games can be summed up in one word: confidence.
"I have never gone into a game that I didn't think we could win.” he told his audience.
McKay begins his first season as head coach of the SC team

He is currently doing research on how cells, subjected to a known cancer - causing agent, will break ihe agent down and excrete it harmlessly.

and testing habits of students representing all grades and a variety of majors.
Their reasons run from moral issues to sheer Jack of knowledge.
As one architecture student put it, "The professor told us a certain point would not be on a test so I didn’t study for it.” “However, it turned out to he on the test anyway,” he added. “My hook was there, so I cheated."
He said thal he felt justified because he felt that, the professor had cheated the class by misinforming it.
Don’t Know A junior political science major, on the olher hand, recalled that in his freshman year, he had to cheat "because honestly 1 didn’t know a thing.”
In general, students admitted their cheating was because of their own laxity and lack of preparation and that it didn't really help their grade.
An English major summed up most feelings by saying. "Cheating doesn't accomplish a thing. The only person you're kidding is yourself, because you haven’t really done what you set out to do learn.”
As to whal to do about cheat-
I ing, students were more divided, j Some felt a need for stronger j discipline and punishment, while | others were in favor of an honor system.
“I hale cheaters and I think , they should really let'em have j it. I mean the works,” growled one English major.
Another English major, on the other side of the fence said that “the whole problem is a student problem.”
"If they knewr it was their responsibility they wouldn't feel so free about it, he added.
Encourage (’heating "Furthermore, I think some of the professors indirectly encourage cheating by iheir attitudes,” he said. Some of them get up in front of the class and virtually dare anybody to cheat.
"It’s the same old story about the forbidden fruit," he said.
A more novel solution was made by a business major who suggested the use of blinders.
All opinions revealed one important fact, students are aware of cheating, and ihev feel it is a problem that they, as students. must cope w'ith.
Desire Solution Furthermore, they show a definite desire for a fair solution in which they will have some voice.
Since cheating occurs in their realm of the classroom, they naturally feel Iheir opinions and suggestions on the subject should carry some weight.
As one student put it, "It’s like having poison ivv and being told by someone whose never had it, ‘I know how you feel.’ ”
Phi Beta Kappa Honors 87
