Bv CHARLENE DEVINE Daily Trojan Women’s Editor
The scent of roses and carnations perfumed the warm Indian summer air last night as more than 250 of SC’s newest sorority women were presented to Rowites, family and friends at standing-room only ceremonies on 28th
street.
The women, gowned in ballerina 01 full length white formals, radiated beauty and excitement as they were introduced to university society. Roses, the floral theme in a majority of the houses, were carried by the women in arm bouquets or ribbon and tulle nosegays.
In the cherished spot above their hearts, each of the women wore their sorority pins presented to them at pledging ceremonies conducted late yesterday afternoon and Sunday.
Good wishes and presents abounded as alumni and friends gathered at the houses to congratulate and extend best wishes to the new mgmbeis.
Red carnations tied with red ribbon were carried by the AChiO pledges as they were introduced by their President Joann McDonough to friends and alumni. Cards above the heads of the women identified them.
Names in glitter on the rose-colored streamers told guests of the new members at the ADPi house. The women, introduced to the guests by Paula Abbott, ADPi president, wore full length white formals and carried arm bouquets of red roses.
Green and white table decorations accented the floral theme at the A E Phi house where President Carol Rischall was on hand to present the new pledges.
Green napkins and white candles and a white lace table cloth grace the dining room table with a center piece I of white and green flowers.
AEPhi pledges carried out the motif as they held white carnations with green ribbon in their arms as they smiled at the guests.
At the Alpha Gam house the new members were presented at ceremonies in the ferrn filled patio.
The members carried nosegay bouquets of red and gold roses centered in a bed of white lace. President Elreen Thrulow presented the women.
A red and white A entwined with roses accentuated the cherry wood stair case at the AOPi house as President Judy Cochran stood beneath the floral decorations welcoming the guests.
The AOPi women being presented carried red roses with their names done in glitter on the red streamers attached to the arm bouquets. Red candles and red roses decorated the refreshment tables.
Alpha Phi pledges looked as beautiful and sparkling as the bouquets of American beauty roses tied with red ribbon which they carried last night. Tags in the bouquets gave the names of the women and President Joanne Hagen officiated with introductions during the evening.
Yellow was the color theme decoration at the Chi Omega house for Presents. President Ann Marquam introduced the new Chi Omega women who carried yellow roses tied with yellow ribbon.
Blue, yellow and white stock decorated the Tri-Delta house last night as President Lolita Kennedy introduced her new pledges. The women carried baby pink roses decorated with pink ribbon.

Every member of this new "unified body” will have an equal voice in the affairs of the junior class and will he advised of business meetings through periodic newsletters.
In addilioii to this change, there will >>e established a "Council of Good Government” headed by a political affairs director to lie appointed soon.
This council will act as an investigative and polling body covering all facets of campus life with the aim of keeping the class president informed of the actions and attitudes of both the administration and the students. It will also act as a lobbying group on behalf of the junior class.
"This will be the first time, to my knowledge, that the class president will be thoroughly informed of the desires of the junior class when he represents them at the meeting of the ASSC Senate.” Steigerwalt said.
He also announced that petitions are now available for the appointive positions of projects chairman, staff secretary, public relations director and political affairs director.

mately 500 persons since the audience got out of bed eight hours before.

Before coming to SC, Patmore
“This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone who wants to try his hand at radio announcing.” Sprague said. He added that the programming will be both live and taped and will be of diverse subjects.
He pointed out that this increase of population would stimulate industrialization, with the grealest impact to be felt in the metropolitan areas of Los An-geles-Long Beach, San Francisco-Oakland. San Diego, San Bernardino and San Jose.
He called California the economic hub of the West, stating that “approximately 75 per cent of the total business transacted on the Pacific Coast is carried on within this state.”

Kappa Sigma fraternity members who watched pledge Richard T. Swanson choke to death on a piece of raw liver which he was forced to eat Thursday as part of an initiation hazing stunt were dismissed from SC or placed on university probation yesterday shortly after the dead student's i body was lowered into its grave at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
SC’s President Norman Topping explained that the dismis-I sals and disciplinary probations completed the university’s action in the case. Local authorities still may take legal action against the fraternity mepibers involved. Dr. Topping did not release the names of the dismissed students.
Dean’s Investigation
The president's action followed Dean of Students Robert Downey’s investigation into the actions which resulted in the tragic death of the 21-year-old dentistry major. The hazing stunt was a violation of the In-ter-fraternitv Council's code of conduct which has been in effect at SC since 1957.
In addition, Los Angeles Police reported yesterday that seven of the students involved will be subpoenaed to appear at a coroner's inquest scheduled for next Tuesday.
Members Subpoenaed
University Division Lf. William Porter said Fraternity I President Dan Hayes and three Kappa Sigs and three pledges who were present when the youth died will be among 15 witnesses subpoenaed.
The Los Angeles City Council also ordered its own probe of the death which will begin Thursday.
Eight SC officials, including Dr. Topping, and members and pledges of Kappa Sigma fraternity attended Swanson's funeral yesterday at the Church of the Recessional, Forest Lawn.
Four Points
In a public statement Dr. Topping listed four points of action which were taken by the
I University:
. 1. Those who had the responsibility for the affairs of Sigma Kappa fraternity including the pre-initiation event have been dismissed from the University. In addition, those whose previous conduct has not at all times measured up to the high standards of the student body have been dismissed from the University.

Episcopalians Hold Services

pated have been placed on disciplinary probation. This means that they will be able to attend classes but not participate in any student activities on campus.
3.	Those who knew of the plans and what was to take part of their official record at have been reprimanded and this action has been made a part of their offocial record at the University.
4.	No action was taken against those being initiated.
Dipped in Oil
Swanson choked to death when forced to swallow a four-inch long piece of raw liver that had been dipped in oil and colored with vegetable dye.
The fraternity has been banned permanently from the campus and the fraternity's national organization has removed their charter from SC.
Wally Karabian, ASSC president, said the fraternity hazing incident will probably not be brought to-the Senate floor “because of Its seriousness and because it is out of the realm of student government.”
Karabian also extended deepest sympathy to the family of. Swanson on behalf of the s'u-dent body.
