Two Men Eliminated From AWS Elections
%
m
by Susie McBee Associated Women Students elections will be held today without the names of Dave Maddux and Pat Patterson on the ballot.
The two male students, who were refused the right to petition for treasurer last week, were indignant about not getting their names on the ballot.
“Wcpien voters should write in our names for the office,” Maddux said. “We’re still in the running.”
An AWS spokesman said that in case of rain today the polls will be moved from Alumni Park to the Student Union Foyer. Balloting for candidates will begin at 9 a.m.
Eleven women have entered the race, which will continue tomorrow and possibly next Wednesday and Thursday when runoffs will be held.
The two men attempted to get their names on the ballot last week because the AWS constitution has no provision saying treasurer candidates must be women.
AWS Cabinet sources countered by quoting the constitution (Art. VII, Sec. 2):
“Nominations for elective officers shall occur ¿n open meeting . .
Also Section 1 They also pointed to Section 1, which provides that each prospective candidate must file a petition setting forth HER qualifioations.
“The male candidates fill neither of these requirements,’' one member retorted, “and besides, they aren’t even members of the Associated Women Students.” Not Serious Patterson, who signed a letter to the editor “Patti Patterson,” said he was misquoted by Elections co-Commissioner Nancy Mispagel when she hinted he was not serious in petitioning for the office.
“I have conferred at length with my campaign manager and confidant, Don Fitzgerald, and we have agreed to bring this matter before the ASSC Senate,” the letter asserted.
Maddux was advised by Miss
Mispagel to reread the constitution when he said he and Patterson didn’t have to appear at the nominations assembly held Monday.
“In view of our previous experience in student activities here at SC (Maddux is Commerce School president and Patterson is former Squires president), we feel quite justified and qualified to run for the office,” Maddux said.
Cabinet Confused None of the women candidate? had a comment on the daring invasion of “AWS-hood,” which has amazed and confused cabinet members for several days.
Patti Tremellen, present AWS assembly chairman, is running unchallenged for AWS president.
Vice Presidential potentials are Janet Fakuda, Jean Haynes, Barbara Ryan, and Sally Taylor.
Other Candidates Those vying for the secretary's position are Marian Hadadd, Do-reene Reeb, and Barbee Steeves.
Treasurer candidates are Nancy Bates-Lane, Shirley Largura, and Carolyn Johansing.
Veep candidate Janet Fakuda now serves as AWS Treasurer. She has been president of Troeds, a Freshman Women’s Council member, and a Spur.
Veep Three Time*
Miss Haynes has been a vice-president three times in her college career—of Troeds, a cappel-la choir, and her sorority. She has also served in Frosh Women’s Council and in Spurs.
Miss Ryan, now secretary of Spurs, is a member of Alpha Lambda Delta, and was a committee chairman for Religious Emphasis Week. She has a 3.3 grade average.
Stephens College Transfer Miss Taylor, a junior who transferred here from Stephens College in Missouri, served in Chimes, on the Poster Committee for Religious Emphasis Week, and on the blood drive.
Secretary hopeful Marian Hadadd, a freshman who was student body president of her high school, serves as a Troed, ASSC secretary, and Freshman Council member.
Miss Reeb is on the Sophomore Council, ASSC Social Committee, and is an AWS secretary and member of Sigma Alpha Sigma,

Students planning to attend the game in Kansas City were urg*wi yesterday by SC Ticket Manager John Morley to “buy their tickets now.” There will be no tickets available in Kansas City since seating space is limited.
SC’s games will be carried by adio on both nights. Associated il Company will sponsor them and as of late yesterday afternoon, a local station had not been selected.

Budget Fun Books Called Good Buy
“Transferability” Is the magic word for “Fun-on-a-Budget” buyers. It is magic because several budget-bound students may pool their pennies on one book of these tickets to places of entertainment.
The books are not made out to any one individual, but can be passed around among friends who have different entertainment tastes, Bob Gerst, Squires president, said.
“The long valid period is another distinct advantage,” Gerst added. “Although many tickets are good now, they will continue to be so until the middle of August.”
Dean First to Buy
The bargain ticket books, being sold for $2 by Squires, got off to a fine start yesterday. Bernard L. Hyink, dean of students, bought the first one at the booth in front of the Student Union, which is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily.
“It’s a wonderful offer and will certainly benefit any who take advantage of it,” the Dean commented.
There will be a limit of three books per customer the Squires president announced, because of the tremendous bargain entailed. “Fun-on-a-Budget” is being sold for $3.50 in other parts of the city, but has been reduced here since profits will go to charity, namely, the Trojan Chest.

Trojans Show Poor Response to TV Show
Popular response to “Debut,” six-week-old musical talent program, has been gratifying—except from SC students.
This was the opinion expressed yesterday by Sylvia Kun-in, originator of the show which is presented each Sunday at 4:30 p.m. on KCOP, Channel 13 sponsored by Barker
Brothers.
“Although over 400 contestants have applied, only a few have been from SC,” she said. “Certainly, with its excellent music students, SC should have a better representation.”
On “Debut,” singers, violinists, and pianist compete for a grand prize of a $1000 scholarship in 13-week competition periods.
The first eight wreeks compose the preliminaries. The next four weeks are the semi-finals, with the preliminary winners competing against each other. The last week has been reserved for the four finalists, during which the winner of the scholarship will be announced.
Symphony Tickets Every participant receives two season tickets to the Hollywood Bowl’s “Symphony Under the Stars” series, while each semifinalist is given a tape-recorder.
“ ‘Debut’ was designed to encourage young musical talent and to present it in good taste,” Miss Kunin said. “The competitive phase is played	down,	unlike
many other TV talent quests.” The show features David Blum, 18, and his orchestra, also made up of youthful musicians. Members of this group include five SC students — Marie Manahan, cello; Linn Pottle, viola; Gene

IT'S DR. LAPORTE NOW
P. E. Director Honored
William Ralph LaPorte, since 1913 director of SC’s physical education department, was awarded the Doctor of Laws Degree at Pepperdine College last night at an informal dinner in his honor in the Pepperdine Dining Hall.
Dean E. V. Pullias of Pepperdine introduced LaPorte for the degree.
Hood Placed On LaPorte Dr. Hugh M. Tiner, Pepperdine president, then placed the hood signifying the Doctor of Laws upon LaPorte
LaPorte then delivered an address in which he challenged big time college athletics to fulfill its basic purposes of providing leadership and recreation for the young people of America.
Injuries Serious Hazard He suggested more facilities, better trained leaders, and less
emotionalism to overcome many
of the problems which currently j beset athletics.
LaPorte said that the high in- | jury rate in lootball is one of the most serious hazards of present day athletics. He pointed out that in four high schools and four colleges in California which had a combined total of 240 football players, 56 injuries of a serious nature resulted in one season’s play.
Distrust Among Colleges
“Excessive community and a-lumni interest proved detrimental to athletics—often placing a coach under serious pressure,” he said.
LaPorte, pointing out the distrust among colleges and universities, relating to eligibility lists, sad, “these insttutons are the supposed leaders of world opnion, the places where cultural and
idealistic patterns are set; but in athletic relations they are far more distrustful of each other than are financial brokers on Wall
Street.”
Then he cited the proposal of Dr. Harold Stoke of the University of Washington to make varsity football a professional activity in which the players would not be required to meet the scholastic standards of full time students.
“Dr. Stoke’s proposal offers food for serious thought,” said LaPorte.
He then suggested a “Decalogue of Athletic Standards” for public school administrators:
1—Provide	more adequate sport areas.
2—Provide	more and better trained leaders as teacher-coach-
es.
3—Eliminate	inter - school com-
petition at the elemèntary and junior high school levels.
4—Provide	athletic budgets for high schools from public school funds.
5—Insist	upon shorter practice hours (about one or one and one-fourth hours a day).
6—Give	opportunities for team members to play in various positions rather than just one.
7—Limit	high school travel to short distances.
8—Have	home teams act as friendly hosts to entertain visiting teams on a social basis.
9—Urge	sports writers in their articles to play up group accomplishments rather than individual
prowess.
10—Place	the emphasis upon sound, physical development, skill and strategy, friendliness, self-control, and the will to achieve good sportsmanship.
