The freshman student, who received a one-half inch knife wound in his left side, will be released the latter part of this week, according to Dr. Paul O. Greeley, director of the infirmary.
“Perchesky has no serious injuries. The doctors are simply holding him fo? further observation,” said Greeley.
The attack on the seven Varsity show members occurred when Perchesky stopped his automobile on University avenue to unload his passengers.
Six youths, who had been following Perchesky’s vehicle, began beating on the car. One of the attackers reached through the window and stabbed Perchesky with a pocket-knife.
University Station detectives said yesterday that they have no further clues as to the identity of the men.

Confusion Reigns At Model UN Start
by Jim Ivanoff Special to the DaUy Trojan
BERKELEY, Apr. 15—On the eve of the third annual Model United Nations conference on the University of California campus here, confusion is supreme.
At Model UN headquarters in Eshleman hall, people are running in and out, staplers are clicking, and mimeograph machines turning. Conference Director Joyce Kislitzin Kallgren, senior in political science at Cal, is busy answering questions.
SC’s delegation is due to arrive later today in time for the first meeting of the General Assembly tomorrow morning. Some 500 delegates and a host of alternates, observers, reporters, and spectators are expected at the opening session tomorrow.
Kerr Greets Delegates Clark Kerr, chancellor of the University of California, and Dick Holler, Associated Students president, will greet the delegates. Tomorrow, Ralph Phillips, student secretary-general, will turn the gavel over to David W.

Wainhouse, wise in the ways of the UN, also is director of the State Departments Office of United Nations Political and Security Affairs. He will be chairman of all four sessions of the General Assembly.
Southland Delegates Delegates of the University of Alaska, who will represent Egypt, have been thawing out here since Monday. Other southland colleges, and the countries they will rep-
resent, are Loyola, Bolivia; Pasadena City college, China Nationalists; Long Beach State, Colombia; Los Angeles City college, Costa Rica; Pomona, Cuba, Pep-perdine, France; San Diego State, Greece.

‘Model Lobbyists’
To make the conference more like the real thing, five “model lobbyists” will press the cause of world peace just as a group of Quakers from England, the United States, Sweden, and Mexico would do.
This is the first time a lobby will operate at a Model UN. In actual UN sessions, lobbyists first made their appearance in 1947.

SEEKS ELEPHANTS FOOT
•
Five more fraternity houses yesterday reported missing items and asked that they be returned Friday during the Row Repatriation day.
Ken Shanks, IFC coordinator, has set up this special day in an effort to affect the return of many fraternity and sorority possessions that have been “borrowed” during the last few months.
Latest items reported missing are an elephant's foot fromf the Theta Xi house, a deer head from the Kappa Sigma fireplace, charters from Beta Theta Pi and Zeta Beta Tau, and the front door and several paddles from Phi Sigma Kappa house.
Shanks will ask for the return of these and many other wandering possessions this afternoon at the IFC meeting.
“If we can get these things back to their rightful owner, there will be no questions asked,” he said.
Also missing along the Row is a valuable velvet painting from Phi Kappa Psi, porch rugs from Pi Beta Phi, brass door knocker from Kappa Kappa Gamma, and two lion statues from Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
A charter also is gone from Phi Kappa Tau, and Phi Delta Theta also has lost a front door.
Shanks is going to ask fraternities and sororities to “clean house” in an effort to find the missing momentos.

Christine'
Lauds Sex Change Here
A mysterious voice has crept into the political wars at SC.
George Gonzales, AMS president, last Tuesday received a telegram which read:
“Received news concerning sex change at SC. Feel my experience has set a precedent. Urge support.
Constantly yours,
“Christy J.”
Gonzales had no explanation for the unexpected support of his amendment asking that both men and women be allowed to run for ASSC president, vice-presi-dent, and secretary.
Western Union officials informed the Daily Trojan that the telegram had been sent from a pay phone in Los Angeles at noon last Tuesday.
Sender of the message declined to give his name, according to telegraph officials. This mysterious telegram was sent from a pay phone with the dial number Richmond 8-9043.
Daily Trojan reporters located the booth next to the University Bookstore on the first floor of the Student Union.
It has not been ascertained whether “Christy J” is in town or still residing in New York.
SC Blood Drive Gains Support
Fourteen campus organizations already have pledged 100. per cent support of the Apr. 21-25 Red Cross blood drive, chairman Sally McGrath announced yesterday.
“One hundred per cent support does not necessarily mean a 100 per cent blood donation,” Miss McGrath said, “but a large percentage of donations are needed to make the drive a success.” Those Who Join
Presidents of organizations are urged to ask for complete support of their members. Those wishing to join the honor roll may do so by phoning Miss McGrath at Richmond 8-8501.
Students can sign to donate blood at registration tables in front of the Student Union and Founders hall from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily.
Actual donations will be given next Tuesday through Friday in the Commons basement. Living groups will be competing for the trophy awards given to the men, women, and service organizations giving the biggest turn-out.
Minors, Too
Minors from 18 to 21 can give blood if they have a parent’s or guardian’s signature on the Red Cross release form. A married female minor may sign her own release, and married male minors who are economically independent and who live apart from parents must obtain wife’s signature.
Donors must weigh at least 110 pounds and have temperature, pulse, blood pressure checked, and hemoglobin determined, before donating.
The following campus organizations have pledged 100 per cent support of the spring Red Cross blood drive:
Acacia, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Rho Chi, Amazons, AROTC, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Gamma, Delta Sigma Pi, Delta Tau Delta, Kappa Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Pi Beta Phi, Phi Kappa Psi,
missioner Jim Lucostic, who reported 376 students voted yesterday, called it “a pretty moldy tilmout.”
“Even if twic® as many students vote the second day (today),” Lucostic said, “less than 12 per cent of the students will be deciding the issues.” Lucostic urged all students to register their opinions on the proposals at the polls today.
Four Amendments
The first three amendments on the ballot would remove sex qualifications for the offices of ASSC president, vice-president, and secretary. The fourth ballot measure would lower the scholastic requirements for ASSC officers.
This is what a “Yes” or “No” vote means on each amendment on the ballot:
Amendment No. 1.
“Yes” — The ASSC president may be either a male or female.
“No” — The ASSC president must be a male.
Amendment No. 3.
“Yes” —• The ASSC vice-president may be either a male or female.
“No” — The ASSC vice-president must be a female.
Amendment No. S.
“Yes” — The ASSC secretary may be either a male or female.
“No” — The ASSC secretary must be a female.
Amendment No. 4.
“Yes” — Candidates for ASSC office must have a cumulative grade average of 1.0 and an average of 1.3 for the last semester before election.
“No”—Candidates for ASSC office must have a cumulative grade point average of 1.5 and an average of 1.5 for the last semester before election.
For This Year
If passed, the new amendments will apply to candidates for the general spring elections, Apr. 29, 30, and May 1.
The All-U party is supporting all four amendments. Trojans for Representative Government party is urging “No” votes on all four proposals.
Proponents of the first three amendments say they will provide equality of rights between men and women in running for student offices. Opponents say passage of amendments 2 and 3 would practically eliminate women from school politics, since there are more men at SC than women and men tend to vote for men.
More Participants
Those supporting amendment No. 4 say that if the grade point is lowered, many more students, who formerly were disinterested in politics because they felt they had no chance to participate, will become active in student government.
Those favoring a “No” vote on the grade point-lowering amendment say it looks like a political move to make certain candidate or candidates eligible for the spring general elections. They content! officers having just a 1.0 or slightly higher grade point average would be in danger of falling below tl*e 1.0 and going on probation bec&use of the time required by governmental duties. ★ ★ ★ TRG Thumbs Down To Both Measures
A motion favoring defeat of the amendments to lower the grade point standard and to remove sex requirements for ASSC offices wras passed at the Trojans for Representative Government meeting Tuesday night.
TRG feels that if sex requirements were removed, opportunities for women to hold office would be appreciably decreased, A1 Graves, party chairman, said after the meeting.
“It is significant that the Senate defeated the grade point measure 25-2,” said Arne Lind-gren, sponsor of the TRG motion.
