Ditch. Danger To Dreamers Ends Manana
Trojans who like to read as they walk will soon have at least one danger to climb and life eliminated— the ditches surrounding the athletic field across from the annex.
Dug for the purpose of instating a sub-drainage pipe system for Troy’s new track, the ditches will be filled in and the field restored by tomorrow, according to Elton D. Phillips, university business manager. Without facilities for drainage, he said, a heavy rain would turn the track into mud.
Schduled to ve completed by July, the track is being constructed by the Pacific Coast Paving company.
Panhel Removes From Ballot Lists
tr
Complications arose yesterday in the Trojanality contest when the LAS council slashed from the ballot the names of the 13 women scheduled to run for Miss Trojanality.
The action was taken after an announcement by Shirley Barkley. Panhellenic council president, that the council is not and never h as been participating in the contest.
The contest will now be limited to the se lection of a Mr. Trojanality.

Fame Comes To DT Queen
What started out as a joke among sorority sisters is making a celebrity of Joan Winter, winner of the
Daily Trojan “Spring Fantasy” queen contest.
Miss Winter’s picture wTas turned in to the DT without the coed’s knowledge, and then she walked off with top honors. Now it’s leading to bigger things.
The “queen of queens’ ’picture find story of winning was picked up by downtown newspapers, the Examiner, Herald-Express and Mirror, and carried by Miss Winter’s home newspaper, the Arcadia Tribune.
As a result of this publicity, Paramount studios asked for an interview, and Life magazine may carry a story on her experience. Miss Winter visited Paramount yesterday and will be interviewed by Life today.
“I just want to be normal and finish college.” said “SC's prettiest coed,” the title given her by the Examiner.
Miss Winter is a junior majoring in sociology, and a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority.

Solon Quotes Ridgway View
WASHINGTON, Apr. 16 (UP)— Rep. O. K. Armstrong (R—Mo.) said today that Lt. Gen. 'Matthew B. Ridgway and “practically every high ranking officer” in Japan and Korea agree a complete victory’ cannot be won without carrying the Korean war into Manchuria.
Mac s Guards Rough Photogs
HONOLULU, Apr. 16 — (UP) — Several press and newsreel photographers complained today that they were “manhandled” by Air Force | Police guards as they took pictures of General Douglas MacArthur’s arrival at Hickham field.
Carl Mydans, a Life magazine photographer, said he was “roughed up” by an Air Force policeman who twisted his arm behind his back and pushed him.
Mydans said he was not taking a picture at the time and was Armstrong, just back from a trip “standing well back of an imagin-to the Far East, said Ridgway’s j ary line photographers had been views are “substantially” those for asked not to cross.”

Only press, newsreel, and television cameramen were permitted to approach MacArthur’s plane when it landed or get near the general and his welcoming party. Press and radio reporters were kept behind a chest-high wooden railing on the front of the terminal building 50 yards from the plane.
Commie Lawyers
MacArthur, stripped of his command for bucking those policies, sent word that he is willing to appear as a star witness in the coming hearings on where and how the United States should put its main emphasis in combatting Communist aggression. The Administration believes the test will come in Europe; MacArthur says Asia.
The homeward-bound general was resting overnight in Honolulu when the House adopted, without discussion, the formal motion inviting !iim to state his case before a joint meeting of Congress.
The general began work on his eagerly-awaited speech during the stop-over in Hawaii.
MacArthur’s speech to Congress, which will be carried to the nation by radio and television, probably will be his first important public utterance since he wras abruptly dismissed by Truman last week. The general maintained a tight-lipped silence upon his arrival in Hawaii and indicated he will confine his remarks to formal greetings in San Francisco.
But once the ice is broken by the formal address to the House and Senate, MacArthur is expected to sty plenty about the policy disputes which led to his ouster.
He informed the Senate Armed Services committee by cabelgram that he stands ready to testify in question and answer sessions “at any time” after Thursday. The committee has voted to conduct a full-dress investigation of the circumstances surrounding the ouster, and will begin Wednesday by hearing closed-door testimony from Defense Secretary George C. Marshall.

The only difficulty the barrel-bearers encountered was that of frightening away a few they sought to impress.
The barrel was the basic item in the pledge getups. but in addition each pledge drew heavily on hi» creative powers and came up with originality, and often conspicuous-ness* of garb.
The results were weird. Typical was a “femaie” disguise, complete with floor-mop hair. Another was a barrel with iees sporting a green will not tolerate aggression in t e lamp s^ade mounted halo-wise.
