Cards to Rain $25 in Pennies From 'Heaven
Don’t be alarmed when it rains pennies from heaven tomorrow on campus. Don’t rush to Dr. Warren of the psychology department and demand a treatment. It’s all part of a publicity stunt by the Crescent Theatre group for their next play “A Penny for Charon,” an original comedy by Herman Miller, former SC student.
Twenty-five hundred post cards, each with a penny attached, will be dropped from the roof of the Student Union building at noon tomorrow. Students may keep the penny, and if they wish add 49 more to it which will be the admission to the play to be given May 2, 3, 4. and 5.
Everyone is entitled to a card, but the theatre group wiuld like to point out that it is not a welfare organization designed to keep delinquent check-receiving veterans and allowance-short students in coffee money for the rest of the month.

Day at SC In Store for High Schools
Greater University committee’s next big project will be a day at SC for student body presidents of Southern California high schools, Chairman Fred Harper announced.
The event, under the direction of a subcommittee headed by Joan Field, will be May 19, and will serve to acquaint prep students with SC life and student government.
Letters of invitation have been sent out to more than 100 Southland high schools, and some response already has been received. Each student president has been asked to bring one friend to the university for the day.
The program will include addresses by SC student leaders who will explain SC's plan of student government to the high school leaders. In the afternoon, panel discussions will give high school students a chance to talk over their ideas and problems of student government.
The day will end with the showing of football movies narrated by one of 8C's grid coaches.
Harper also announced progress on there other committees working on a possible three-unit band course, campus drinking fountains, and high school contacts.
The band course committee recommended that members of the band get three units of university credit for all the extra time they put into practice for the one-unit course.
Jim Dean, reporting on possible installation of more drinking fountains on campus, said that the cost is too high, but suggested that the committee recommend that senior classes be asked to donate the fountains.

Phyllis Andersen’s name today became the second and last on the list of aspirants to the ASSC vice presidential post.
Ann Dillon, Delta Gamma, will run against Miss Andersen.
Miss Andersen, Alpha Delta Pi and endorsed by Unity, said her platform will include a “foreign policy.”
“This will mean the appointment of a coordinator to aid needy foreign students, ’ she said.
One of Miss Andersen’s main program planks is a liberalization plan for social policies to be worked out with the aid of the counselors of men and women.
These plans include improvements in homecoming dance facilities, and a noon dance every month.
The calendar committee will be extended, with a monthly all-U calendar planned for the official bulletin boards.
Miss Andersen said she will accept the support of any groups beside Unity that wish to back her.
As a freshman Miss Andersen was vice-president of Junior Panhellenic, a member of Freshman Women's council, and president of the ADPi pledge class.
In her sophomore year she was tapped for Spurs and was a member of the AWS Associated cabinet, activity recorder for AWS, and a captain and a big sister in the AWS orientation program.
Last year Miss Andersen held the presidential post in Chimes and was a member of Amazons, AWS cabinet, Education council, and chairman of the LAS Advisement committee.
Deadline for filing petitions for the ASSC elections is today at 3 p.m. Petitions are available in
225 SU.
Gary Turner, Sigma Phi Delta, filed for president of the School of Engineering.

The Palmer School of Chiropractic, Davenport, Iowa, instigators of the petition, have lined up the Veterans of Foreign Wars headquarters at Kansas City, Mo, to lobby the request at Washington.

IFC Drops Sig Ep Ban
Action on houses using ineligible athletes in interfratemity competition was dismissed Thursday afternoon when Hilton Green withdrew his motion for disqualification of Sigma Phi Epsilon from IF competition at the request of the IF Athletic committee.
In a prepared statement to the IFC, Dave Small, chairman of the athletic committee, recommended that Green's motion be withdrawn, and that no action be taken against the Sig Eps because they were not the only house on the Row involved.
Instead, Small recommended that this case be used as a warning against further practices of this or South Africa, the Rev. Mr. Walk-	an_d- in the event of any

SC to Host Business Group
Tw’o hundred leading businessmen will assemble on campus May 10 to attend a conference on “Marketing in Our Mobilized Community.”
The conference is sponsored by the School of Commerce and the extension division of the university in cooperation with the Southern California chapter of the American Marketing association.
Two Speakers

Elieson will open the meeting at a luncheon in the Foyer of Town and Gown. He will spjeak on “Effects of Government Regulations on Local Marketing Problems.”

Second Speaker
Dean McDaniel will be the concluding speaker. His subject will be “The Place of Marketing in a Mobilized Economy.”
McDaniel has been a consultant to the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. National Resources Planning board. He served as special assistant to W. Averill Harriman when he was Secretary of Commerce, and later, as personal advisor on European trade matters in connection with the Marshall Plan.

Fall May See More Parking
Hope for more campus parking space was sparked yesterday when the DT learned that work will soon begin on a state parking lot to be cleared for the Coliseum.
House-moving in the blocks be^ tween Menlo, Vermont and Santa Barbara avenues and Exposition boulevard will start as a result of a bill signed recently by Governor Warren to provide more parking lots for the Coliseum.
The lots will be completed in September, in time for the fall semester. Louis Venator, executive secretary of the Coliseum, said.
The first tie-up with Exposition parking possibilities was made by Allen A. Arthur when he was working with the Greater University committee last year.
Ramirez to Manage Campaign for Bradley
Track Ietterman John Bradley an-1 nounced Friday that Louis Ramirez, AMS president, would manage his campaign for the ASSC presidency.!
In making the announcement, Bradley said Ramirez had been elected last year to the AMS post on policies and principles similar to his own and that he felt they could work effectively together.
“We both believe,” Bradley said, “that it is time the ASSC presidency was removed from the political realm and given back to the student body. It is an all-university officie that equally affects every segment of the student body. It is our desire to rid the office of patronage and restore it to a merit basis as has been done with the AMS office.”
Ramirez said he was aiding Bradley in his campaign because “I sincerely believe he is the only man running who will take the office out of politics once he is elected.” The AMS president pointed out that three years in athletic team competition for the university had taught Bradley that students can work together regardless of affiliations.
“I believe,” Ramirez said, “that Bradley is the first man with more than political interests to seek the top student office in many years.
LOUIS RAMIREZ . . . back in politics
His outstanding service to the university in the fields of athletic competition, service groups, and fraternal life has proven that he works for every student, not just one clique.
Because Bradley is an athlete, Ramirez said, building Trojan spirit will be important to him and he will want representatives of all student factions working with him.
