enators Propose Ticket Sales eating Changes
by Kent Milton Daily Trojan Sports Editor
Football’s greatest intersectional rivalry will be renewed once again tomorrow when Notre Dame and SC meet on the silver anniversary of their series which began in 1926.
As gridiron classics go, they don’t come much better than the 25-year-old series between the Trojans and the Irish, and tomorrow’s game shouldn’t prove any different, for it finds two teams which left the gate fast, bogged down in the backstretch, and who will be fighting for all they’re worth to get back on top.
Ticket sales are upwards of 55,000 already, so a crowd of around 70.000 should be on hand at kickoff time, 2 p.m.
Game On Haiional TV
For those who would rather take their football In an arm chair the contest will be televised, both nationally and locally, starting at 1:45.
Jess Hill and Frank Leahy, respective coaches of the two contestants, have both done considerable juggling of lineups in an attempt to discover a winning combination.
Though both will start the usual ensembles, word is out that substitutions, of the freshman and sophomore variety, will be aplenty.
Leahy’s team is fresh from a 20-20 tie with a weak Iowa squad and is sure to be on the upswing, especially considering that SC is the opponent.
Teams To Use Youngsters
Hill’s contingent is carrying a two-straight loss record which it would very much like to eradicate at the expense of the Irish.
Throughout practice this week Hill has worked and reworked his offensive combinations, looking for the new spark to ignite his team. Freshman Chuck Greenwood has been named as starting end, what with various illnesses and injuries canceling the effectiveness of the SC mentor’s other: wingmen.
Working New Combinations
Only Trojan definitely out oi this contest is End Don; Stillwell. Center Lou Welsh, with a gashed leg, should be ready but if not Ben Sampson will fill in.
On the Irish side, Halfback Billy Barrett is the only casualty. He did not make the trip with the team. Barrett’s loss will throw much of the offensive rushing assignment to workhorse John Lattner, who is to the Irish what Frank Gifford is to SC.
Lattner will also be forced to do all the punting, a task

Vol. XUII	Los Angeles, Calif., Friday, Nov. 30, 1951 No. 52
.Two constitutional amendments at will affect direct student re--esentation on the ASSC Senate e now on the legislative docket that body. The measures, in-oduced Wednesday night by nator-at-Large Tony Ward and ^dependent Representative Jerry lackwell, will be debated at the xt regularly scheduled Senate jieetmg, Dec. 12. in accordance with ie provisions of the ASSC contortion
The proposals, which to be "opted must pass the Senate by two-thirds vote and then be rati-jed by a majority of students vot-ag in an election within three reeks after the Senate action, ould change the representation on he Senate for both organized and ndependent students.
Ousts IFC Ward's amendment would sub-titute for the Interfratemity ooun-president in the Senate a fra--rnity representative elected by all ratemity members at the spring general election. The IPC would lot be affected by the measure ex-pt that its president would no onger be on the Senate.
The IFC president is elected by vote of house presidents, each louse having one vote.
Blackwell's proposal is to sub-titute for the independent stu-
dents’ representative an independent men's representative and an independent women's representative. A similar distinction is in effect made for organized students in that the men are now represented by the IPC president and the women by the panhellenic president
More Democratic
Both amendments will provide for more equitable and more democratic representation on the Senate, Ward and Blackwell argued. Ward pointed out that under his, plan ; fraternity men would be represented by a senator whom they directly elect by majority vote. This is not now always the case, he said, since house membership does not count in IPC voting.
Blackwell said that men and women have different problems than can best be handled by separate representatives. He said that he has found it difficllt to adequately handle all independent women's problems. He also felt that it would be a step forward in equalizing representation between organized and non-organized students.
Debate was limited on both issues to five minutes Wednesday under parliamentary rules, but they will receive a full airing at the next meeting.
For Basketball Games Lag
Only a total of 650 basketball tickets have been obtained for the opening Trojan games tonight and tomorrow night, John Morley, ticket manager, said late yesterday afternoon.
Falling far below the 2000 quota for each night’s contest, only 400 students had secured ducats for tonight's contest. Less than 250 tickets had also been obtained for tomorrow night's tilt.
Activity ticket holders from 1-2000 may still secure tickets for tonight’s SC-Santa Barbara State game at the ticket office, second floor, Student Union. Book holders above 2000 may obtain ducats for tomorrow night's San Diego State game.

Those Guys Are At It Again ★ . ★ ★ ★ Sigma Chi Seeks Gal
Consul’ Cast Goes European k ★★★★ ★★★
ress Rehearsal Set for Sunday
Looming from the local smog and smoke of this year's rash of queen contests is the traditional topper of every year, the competition to determine who will reign as Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.
Beginning Monday, 20 campus lovelies will descend on the Sigma Chi house for the first in a week-long series of eliminations which will end with the crowning of the Sweetheart and two attendants at the formal Sweetheart ball a week from Saturday night.
Though this may be the climax, it is not the end of festivities for the winner. SC's Sweetheart will be entered in the national eliminations and may be one of the three chosen from the United States and Canada to go to the
Sigma Chi grand chapter meeting at the resort town of Mackinac Island, Mich., next summer. There, one of the three will be chosen International Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.
As the local chapter's Sweetheart, she will receive a jeweled Sigma Chi pin and the large perpetual trophy. For a full year she will be invited to Monday dinners and house parties.
Candidates for this year’s Sweetheart have been entered by each of the 17 sororities and three residence halls. EVK. University hall, and Town and Gown. The annual contest is a tradition with Sigma Chi chapters in the United States and Canada.
The cast of the opera “The Con-’1” will go European Sunday night j dress rehearsals get under way Bovard auditorium. Then props ill be moved in over the worn lalk marks, and Professor Carl ert won’t be calling down smg-so often from his tenth row seat. The setting for the Menotti sas-?nse opera is a totalitarian counin contemporary Europe.
Curtain will go up Wednesday . at 8 .30 in Bovard auditorium, the Wednesday and fol-urday presentations are ? Student Union ticket S') through $2.40.
: r.wson, well-known de-
signer, is doing the costumes for The Consul,” and Marcus Fuller, of the drama department, is handling sets.
Professor Ingolf Dahl will con- 1 duct this semester s opera. He takes over the job of Wolfgang Martin, who recently took a position with | MGM studios. The entire Opera Workshop production is under the direction of Ebert.
Gian-Carlo Menotti is best known for his two operas “The Medium” ; and “The Telephone.” although “The Consul” has received wide ac- j claim from the critcs. It won the Pulitzer music prize and the award
of the New York Drama Critics Circle. The Bovard production will be its West Coast Premiere.
The consul of the European country hi the opera never actually appears in the story. A good deal of the action takes place in his office, where Magda Sorel tries to get permission to rejoin her husband, who has fled to another country. Several other persons waiting in the office arc also trying to leave the country, for one reason or another.
Th: Consul and his office are the block that thwarts the lives of the applicants for visas. The story is one of red tape and frustration.
Office Seeks Absent-Minded, Pantless Trojan
Another trouserless Trojan is wandering about the campus today. As a result, the lost and found department has another pair of trousers, making a total of two pairs that are now waiting to be called for by some embarrassed male.
And, if “Russ” is missing a lighter, he can have it back if he’ll only come to the information office and identify it. Then there is a pair of swimming trunks, just waiting to get wet.
Carleton H. Mann, head of the information office, said that the trousers,’ swmmng trunks, and lighter, along with assorted keys, glasses, and books, if not called for, will probably be turned over to the YWCA shortly after the first of the year to be sold at auction.
