Miss McGrath and Bring will fill the posts of senator-at-large and independent men’s representative for the remainder of the semester. Miss Vasseur will begin her term as AWS president in the fall. Two other issues were settled during the two days of balloting which ended yesterday afternoon. Barbara Goode was elected AWS vice-president, and
the yell king constitutional amendment was adopted, 825-162.
Run-offs will be held next Wednesday and Thursday between 10 and 3 at Alumni park for the offices of AWS secretary and treasurer. The two remaining contenders for the secretarial position are Shirlee Blalock and Marty Christensen; for treasurer are |

This committee will be composed of the ASSC president and vice-president, AMS president,
Trojan Knight president, Trojan band director, dean of students, and the student activities adviser.
AWS President Pat Wykoff refused to disclose the number of votes by which each AWS candidate won. but said Miss Vasseur won in a “close race” against Miss Willsqn.
Votes Secret Miss Wykoff said that not revealing the number of votes by which a candidate won was traditional with the AWS—beginning last year in the spring election.
“We feel it is better just to disclose names of the winners and of those ahead in run-offs so the losers never know the number by which they lose,” Miss Wykoff said.
Jim Lucostic, elections commissioner, said the total vote for senator-at-large was 1068, which he termed as “very good,” since this was the first special election held at SC in -quite a number of years. It is more than 10 per cent of the student body and about half the turn-out for a regular election.

But one day she completely stopped production when she suddenly burst out loud and shrill with the words and music of “Fight on for Old SC.”
The astounded silence that prevailed «as she finished the last bars of the Trojan fight song; was broken by a loud snicker from Gary Cooper. He confessed he had spent days secretly teaching Rosita the song.

Rain-Drenched Audience Greets Hay Fever in Bovard Opening
by A1 Morch
“Hay Fever” affected the rain-soaked first-nighters in two ways last night in Bovard auditorium. Some laughed and some didn’t at the drama department production of the 1927 Noel Coward comedy.
The play deals with four normal people who spend a weekend with a bohemian English family of four. Normal these people are, by the standard of their society, but they are by no means the criteria. One is a diplomat, one a gangling athlete, another a woman whose profession isn’t mentioned, and a “sweet young nothing.” Bohemian Blisses
The bohemian Blisses are theatrical. There is wife Judith Bliss, a retired actress who hasn’t quite, and her husband David a successful novelist. David is the amused spectator. He has watched his family “act” for years and rather enjoys their fancies.
Simon and Sorel are the 25-
year-old children,” who * unfortunately follow in their mother’s footsteps. They are spoiled, and
rude.
This is the predicament that the playgoers faced last night. Because “Hay Fever’s” success or failure depends on timing it is a catalytic action — one set of characters acting on the other to produce the comedy.
Take It Easy
Pat Hougham as Judith, Charles Carter as Simon, and Bobette Bentley as Sorel failed to do this for the most of the first act because of their fast delivery.
It wasn’t until Interfraternity Coordinator Ken Shanks surrep-titously cued the audience with his own laughter that the performers settled down. After that they were wonderful.
Athlete Sandy Tyrell .portrayed by Louis Pollay was good as a pantomimist, but as an English accent he was still Loui* Pollay.
However, his disregard for correct intonation did get more laughs than one would expect, even if they were in the wrong place.
Leigh O’Malley and William Boggess as David Bliss and diplomat Richard Greatham were both grey-haired wonders as middle-aged gentleman.
Most Difficult Although Patricia Madgwick as Myra and Barbara Blauch as ingenue Jackie Coryton muffed a few lines, they recovered nicely to lend credulity and a certain amount of confusion to what Coward called “his most difficult play to act.”
Two things that annoyed the audience were the acting of Florence Wagner as the maid and the manner in which Pat Hougham walked. Florence Wagner failed to lend realism to a part which could have produced laughs.
