SC to Take Part In Aircraft Study
SC has been selected as one of four California schools to participate in a new nationwide education program sponsored by Lockheed Aircraft corporation.
Two of the schools, California Institute of Technology and Stanford, will offer scholarships for study in science and
engineering.
Scholarships in non-engineering courses applicable to the aircraft industry will be offered at Pomona college and SC. These courses will include business administration, industrial relations, and cost accounting.	’
The scholarships are renewable if the winners meet certain leadership, character, and academic standards. They provide full tuition and $500 annually for school expenses. The selected schools will also receive $500 annually for each scholarship.
Deserving Leaders
“The education program was designed to help expand America’s industrial horizons by providing college educations each year for 20 of the country’s most deserving high school leaders,” said Cyril Chappellet, vice-president of the aircraft company.
Universities in other states offering these scholarships are Carnegie Institute of Technology, Cornell, Georgia Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering, Purdue, Rensselaer Polytechnic institute, .and Michigan.
Other universities are Emory, Harvard, and Northwestern.
“It is hoped the award winners will seek positions with Lockheed following their graduation, but they will be free to work wherever they wish,” said Chappellet.
Dance Scheduled
A benefit carnival-dance will be held Saturday night in the International lounge with proceeds to go to the earthquake-devastated areas in Turkey.

Varsity Show as Hit
Performers Draw Laugh at Musical Comedy's Opening
By George Lasezkay
“So Long to Love,” Varsity show production, got off to a faltering start, last night, caught its balance in the second act, and went on to score a first-night triumph in the
third and final act.
The show started coldly, felt its first spark of fire at the end of the first act with a timely and unlooked-for assist. A hole high up in the leg of a dancing costume brought the first spontaneous laughter from the audience, and from there, the cast took on life and went to work wih spirit.
Cast Draws Laugh
Edward Earle, Barbara Hines, and Ted Donaldson, the most seasoned performers of the show, drew the laughs, steadied the other actors, and moved the production into high gear.
By the end of the show there was complete harmony between actors and audience, and both were enjoying themselves immensely.	*
Chuck Perchesky, who sang the male lead as Charlie, solved the problems of Bovard’s acoustics, and distinctly reached the unpeopled corners of the auditorium. A first-night crowd of nearly 800 persons failed to fill all the first floor seats.
The musical comedy starts off In the early 20s and moves across the bridge of years to the modem theater. Charlie, a theater owner, loses his theater and cast to a competitor, who takes the show to California and into motion pictures.
Son, Daughter Meet
Somehow or other, Charlie, who doesn’t appear married in the play, does have a son from whom he is separated. His competitor, Sylvester Burns, played by Ted Donaldson, has a daughter, Renee Cefalu. In later years the son and daughter meet in show business, get a cast together, and return to New York. They rent a down-and-out theater owned by Charlie. Over parental objections, son Jerry and daughter Penny put on the show. Her father finally relents, stages it for TV, and he and his old rival Charlie are persuaded to forget past differences. Everything ends in sweetness and good will.
The third and final act of the play finds a much-matured cast staging an exceptionally effective History of the Dance.
Abstract Scene
The scene is set in abstdact, has the proper mood music for such a setting, and with a subdued, rosy lighting tends to quicken the pulse. The dances are well planned and staged, and are the climax of the play.
Figured in its entirety, the music was not too good, but the show produced a song worth whistling on the way out— “To Be My Own” — sung by Renee Cefalu and Tom Ex-ley. Other novelty numbers caught the fancy of the crowd and received good applause.
In a scene staged with props that Ken Shanks frowns on, Earle remarked that “it looks like Ken Shanks dropped in for tea, and the crowd really liked it.
This show, contrary to what you may have heard, is the best dollar entertainment in town, and the performances will improve rapidly now that first-nigh jitters haVe been pushed aside.
Plastered Faces Swell Chest! * ★ ★ ★ ★ Pie Contest Nets $168
The sophomore class earned $168.60 in the Pie-throwing contest yesterday, swelling Trojan
Chest contributions to date to $1829.50, more than twice the sum collected last year at this time.
Lenore Monosson, financial chairman, released figures showing that last year's pie contest netted little more than half of yesterday’s returns, $88. That brought last year's mid-week total to only $735.
Ted Harper, contest chairman, said that about 200 pies were thrown in the melee at both scheduled and unscheduled stu- j dents. Hugh Kelley, the versatile j barker, auctioned pies for three j hours, while a Bowie pie delivery man kept up with the demand. Credit Given
Harper attributed much of the j success of the drive to the Sophomore council and to Fred Mitchell, Phil Marantz, Don Kimble, Jim Craig, and Nina Moller.
“Hugh Kelley, the barker, was really the sparkplug of the event,” Harper said.

This is the line score on yesterday’s pie-throwing contest, which netted $168.60.
The highest bid for a single pie was $4.75 thrown at ASSC President Wendell Casey by Barbara Hines, member of the Varsity show cast.
The most pie thrown at one individual was $12 worth, tossed at Stan Kiefer, Daily Trojan city editor, by DT staff members.
The dirtiest pie-face (in the opiniun of Phil Marantz, sophomore class president) belonged to Jim Biby, who “looked more like a cream puff than president pro-tem of the IFC.”

ASSC senators last night set the special grade-point and sex qualifications amendment election for next Wednesday and Thursday. The amendment, put on the ballot by a 1103-name petition, will be divided into four sections and each portion will be voted on separately. Sex qualifications for the offices of ASSC president, vice-president, and secretary, respectively, will comprise the first three ballot issues.
The fourth proposal, if passed by the students, wxiuld lower the grade-point average necessary to run for ASSC office to 1.0 cumulatively and 1.3 the semester before election. A 1.5 mark comprises both requirements now\ New’ Election Dates The Senate also rescheduled the spring general ASSC election for April 29, 30 and May 1, so a possible runoff election would not conflict with Senior week activities. Runoffs will be May 6 and 7. Senior week is the following week.
A proposed constitutional amendment providing for a $50 a month salary for the ASSC president and a $25 a month salary for the secretary was defeated by the Senate. The two salaries wrere voted on separately. After the president payment proposal had lost 11-13, proponents evidently felt it would be impossible to get the required two-thirds on the secretary’s salary either and dropped their support. The secretary’s salary wras vofed down, 16-0.
Argument Wins
A major argument expounded by those against the salaries was that there is no way at present to appropriate funds for salary without cutting budgets of classes, councils, and other organizations.
Pie again flew during Senate
proceedings, but this time Senator Bo Jansen was on the receiving end instead of the pitching end. Immediately after recess, Bill Van Alstyne, acting as proxy, orated profoundly on the disappointment of students that Jansen had not participated in the pie-throwing contest.
During the speech, pies were quietly sold (for the Trojan Chest) to several Senators and Jansen, sensing the impending tragedy, jumped to his feet and headed for the door.
Senator Radmilla Gogo grabbed the Senator before he could exit and Jansen was promptly stood up against the wall and plastered with a half a dozen pies. The Senate voiced their approval by a spontaneous verse of “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.”
Chest Profits Ed Ripley, a member of the conspiracy, estimated that the stunt earned $10 for the Chest.
Jansen returned from washing the pie off his face to introduce a resolution asking Board of Trustees President Asa V. Call to remove a discriminatory clause from qualifications for the award he gives the outstanding alumnus each year.
The Senate passed Jansen’s resolution after voting out provisions asking the administration and students to disassociate themselves from the award until the proposed changes are made.
houses have pledged contributions, but haven’t turned in their money yet.
Junior Class Contributes
Classroom collections have netted $951.90 and Faculty donations $278. The Jr. class council also contributed $73.
“At this rate, SC will be able to send a lot of children to camp this summer,” Chest Chairman Bill Rosensweig said.
Meanwhile, Greater University committeemen are busily arranging for the afternoon dance Friday. Sara Donald, dance chairman, said that the dividing hedges on the Commons terrace have been moved so that students can
get refreshments from the coffee shop.
The freshman class last night set up a refreshment booth in Bovard auditorium and sold cotton candy. Half the proceeds will go to The Chest.
Terrace Dance Slated
Winner of the Mr. Trojanality contest will be announced tomorrow' afternoon at the Greater-U sponsored dance from 2 to 5 on the terrace of the Commons.
Admission to the dance is 25 cents per person, and proceeds will go to the Trojan Chest.
Ray Dewey’s three-piece combo and vocalist will provide music for the afternoon, and the coffee bar at the east end of Commons will be opened, according to Sara Donald, dance committee chairman.
Tickets may be purchased from members of the Independent Wom-
| en’s council, and the Greater-U, and ASSC Social committees.
Tonight, members of the Great-er-U committee will visit sorori-I ties and fraternities on the Row to sell tickets.
“So far, not too many tickets have been purchased,” Miss Donald said. “I certainly hope we have a big turnout, not only iri support of the Chest, but in support of the men running for Mr.
; Trojanality.”
Her committee includes Bill ! Houser, Mary Lou St. Clair, Chris-! tine Dalby. Steve Robertson, Karen Keagy, and Jim Paul.

African Living Conditions Talk By Briton Set
Plans to raise the standard of living in British-Colonial African territories south of the Sahara desert will be discussed by Dr. Edgar B. Worthington, secretary-general of the Scientific Council for Africa, at a lecture tomorrow at 1:15 p.m. in 129 FH.
Some $250 million has been allocated to the territories to aid in building up their economy, educational systems, and medical and welfare services, according to Dr. Worthington.
The territories also are advancing toward self-government, as shown by recent developments in the Gold Coast and Nigeria areas, where Africans now control the policy-making and executive organs of government, he continued.
Six-Power Project
Under Dr. Worthington’s leadership. the six-power scientific council technicians, representing Britain, France, Belgium, Portugal, South Africa, and South Rhodesia, are working to break down artificial frontiers in Africa.
Technical, sociological, and scientific information is exchanged, experience pooled, and ideas for progress are worked out on a continental rather than a national basis.
Included in this job of building a framework for scientific development are geological surveys, the preparation of standard maps, housing, and water conservation.
First-Hand Knowledge
Dr. Worthington will speak with first-hand knowledge of the Mau Mau troubles because he lives in the Nairobi area in Kenya where the disturbances are taking place.
The lecture is open to students and faculty.
Service Clubs To Hold Picnic
Knights, Amazons, Squires, and Spurs will get together at Griffith park Saturday for their first annual picnic.
“This is the first time the four service organizations have ever planned a combined picnic,” said Ed Ripley, picnic chairman, “and we are hoping for a big turnout.”
About 140 picnickers are expected, Ripley said.
The picnic will begin at 12:30 at Pepper, Tree lane No. 2 in Griffith park and last until about 5. Spurs and Amazons will serve lunch at 1 p.m.
Squires hava planned an afternoon of games including a three-legged race, tug-of-war, a pie-eating contest, potato sack race, softball, and volleyball. Knights are in charge of providing refreshments.
Ripley’s committee which planned the picnic includes Rae Olsen and Mary Ann Morey, Amazons; Patti Tremelien and Barbara Goode, Spurs; Herb Vos-sler and Ed Low'e, Squires; and Tom Graham, Knights. Ripley is Knight’s social chairman.
Nancy Vlnetz, and Paula Partridge. The premiere performance of the musical comedy «show, "So Long to Love," was viewed last night in Bovard. Remaining showings will be offered tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday.
Renee Cefalu, who portrayed Penny in last night's Varsity Show opening performance, and Al Golbert, member of the chorus,
are shown in one of the several dance routines of the show. Approximately 800 first-nighters were present.
CANCO CHARLIE
Robot to Make Blood
Drive Appeal Today
Canco Charlie, the walking, ’talking, dancing Red Cross robot, makes his appearance on the SC campus between noon and 1 p.m. today to promote the spring blood drive.
The seven-foot, half-ton tin can man has said he will dance with any girl who shows up at noon between Bovard auditorium and Founders hall.
Charlie will tell students about the need for blood and try to convince them they should give blood in the SC drive Apr. 21-22.
“Since I’m a can, I can’t give blood,” says Charlie, “but I would if I could. You can!”
Canny Body
Canco Charlie has a canny body 11 feet in circumference and is controlled by the same principles involved in governing robot target planes and guided missiles.
He will remind students that blood is especially needed now before the summer polio epidemic strikes. Gamma globulin, blood derivative, will reduce or eliminate the crippling effect of polio, the can man will tell prospective donors.
Signup Tables
Waving his arms, and rolling his eyes, Canco Charlie will tell students how blood is saving lives in Korea, and how much more is needed.
Signup tables where students can register to give blood will be set up Monday, according to Sally McGrath, blood drive chairman.
