that Niles had dropped his name from the list,” said McClure.
The Daily Trojan was unable to contact Niles for comment. Bartholomew, however, emphatically said “the decision was entirely the candidate’s own choice.” Party Backing “Ken wanted TRG party backing,” he said, “and when he learned that we could back only one candidate for the Freshman class president, he graciously dropped out.”
After discussing the situation with Chuck Leimbach, the other TRG candidate in last week’s elections, Niles felt that his votes would lessen the chances for the party.
By Niles’ dropping out, the battle for Freshman class president is narrowed to Leimbach and Dick Grantham (All-U).

NEW COMMITTEES PROPOSED
Senators to Discuss New High School Relations Plan
Famed Band of Today' Signs to Entertain Alumni
Jerry Gray and his “Band of Today” will provide the music for the Homecoming
Dance on Nov. 7, at the Cirfcus Gardens. Gray, a specialist in what he calls solid instrumentals, will feature along with his 16- piece band the young vocalist, Linda Lee.
Gray has reached big-band fame via his arrangements of “Crew-cut,” “Night and Day,” “String of Pearls,” “Chattanooga Choo -choo,” and “Pennsylvania 6-5000.”

boost the Artie Shaw and Glenn Miller bands to the top before the war.
He has now turned his talents to directing his own band.
“With these new bands coming up and playing what they call Miller music, I decided to step in and produce some of the real stuff,” said Gray.
Slow Ballads What Gray calls the “real stuff” is full-bodied orchestration that features lush reeds on the slow ballads and hard-driving brass on the rhythm numbers. Sharp attack is the keynote of the styles which Gray helped to evolve for both Miller and Shaw. Gray finished a stand at the
By-laws designed to improve high school and junior college relations, liaison with the administration, student public relations, and student forum programs will be discussed tonight when the
Senate meets at 7:15 in 418 SU.
A by-law creating a permanent Senate committee to work out a program of junior college and high school relations will be introduced by Senator-at-Large Bill Van Alstyne, who chairmaned a special committee on this subject late last year.
An administration official is handicapped in his effort to sell SC to high school studnets, Van Alstyne believes, for two reasons —(1) He must speak to large groups and can not give personal attention to individuals, (2) He must give a general picture of SC and does not have time to give details about each department or School.
Students Tell Students
The committee proposed by Van Alstyne would provide a liaison between “special interest groups” such as scientific clubs in the SC student body and corresponding groups in high schools and junior colleges. In this way, the contact would be personal— student to student — and high school students could learn details
about the segment of SC in which they are most interested.
Murray Bring, Independent men’s representative, will propose a revision of the ASSC Forum Committee in order to give students a stronger program of forums this year.
Van Alstyne will ask for the creation of a standing committee to servie as liaison between students and the administration. The committee woulçl seek to explain student problems to the administration and explain administration policies to the students.
Publicity A third new committee to be proposed by the senator-at-large is a public relations committee to produce and coordinate publicity on student activities for Los Angeles news outlets. Van Alstyne is introducing this proposal at the request of ASSC President Warren Clendening.
Another scheduled item of business for the senators is the setting of dates for Trojan Chest Week. Trojan Chest is the student charities drive held each spring.
A proposal is also expected to add song leaders or pom-pon girls to the Trojan Band.

Time Lauds Two Trojans
Time magazine gave noteworthy mention to SC this week in two articles, one showing a photograph of Carolyn Knight, SC student and daughter of California’s Governor, and the other citing Dr. Lionel Stevenson, professor of English, for his new book, “The Ordeal of George Meredith.”
The caption under the picture of Miss Knight stated that “Californians were intrigued by the prospect that one of Governor Knight’s daughters will serve as her father’s hostess and thus be the new first lady of California.”
Dr. Stevenson’s new book, published by Scribner, received a two-column review from Time. The magazine praised, “none have placed Meredith in the great chain of novelists so accurately as Stevenson or studied his life and letters with such devoted care ... it is the first grand scale resurrection of Victorian literature’s most neglected writer.”
