DAWSON TAKES 100° SWIM
Marine Life Discovered
Have you ever gone swimming in water that was 100 degrees hot?
That’s what E. Yale Dawson did when collecting marine life in the Gulf of Siam while on leave from the Allan Hancock Foundation.
Dawson, associate professor of biology at the foundation, took a ¡trip to Viet-Nam in January under the auspices of the National Academy of Sciences and with aid i from the Office of Naval Research and the Pacific Science Board.
Tuesday Talk
What Professor Dawson discovered while doing his research in the South China Sea will be the topic of discussion Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Hancock Auditorium. i Kodachromes will be used for the lecture which is the first in a series to be given for the 1953-54 season.
Subjects to be covered include geology, botany, zoology and an-thropolgy. The Natural Science Series is in its seventh year and open to the public. Los Angeles City School teachers attending ¡the lectures can receive credit.
Professor Dawson’s objective of ‘going to Viet-Nam was to encour-
age the Vietnammese to take a more active interest in support of the Institute Oceanographic d’NHA-TRANG, a marine laboratory which the professor said is the finest of its kind in Southeast Asia.
Established 25 years ago by the
Frencn, the institute deteriorated during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It is 200 miles north of Saigon on the China Sea and offers a wonderful marine environment.

stitute had barely existed and the staff was seriously undermanned. The current troubles in that part of the world had discouraged the building up of a staff and financial aid was lacking.
Professor Dawson enlightened the Vitenammese of the importance of the institution and since his visit more staff members have been added and more support is being given by the native government.
Professor Dawson is the first person to explore marine plants in any part of Vietnamm. He also did some research in the 100 Islands National Park which is in the eastern part of the South China Sea and a recent development of the Philippine government.
Plant Study
Another objective w^as to study plant life on a latitude on the western side of the Pacific, which was the same as on the eastern side. This was accomplished as the professor had previously worked on the eastern side of Mexico.
Final report on marine vegetation is being considered for publication in the “Pacific Science” journal to be used by future researchers in the South China Sea area.
race was a real squeaker w-ith Nancy Mispagel, senior music major, sliding into office with only a 34-vote majority. She polled 1080 while Arne Lingren marked up 1046.
No Party Change Party-wise nothing has changed. Miss Bentley (TRG-UNITY) merely moved from senator to vice-president, w'hile Miss Mispagel will fill the all-U vacancy left by the last vice-president, Mrs. Rad Bea.
When contacted by telephone Miss Bentley broke into joyous tears, and asked if she could come down to the DT office. Sr ting a record time getting to the Student Union, she rushed Up stairs out of breath.
“It w'as so much fun going out and talking to people, and meeting all those who wrere kind enough to vote for me. I will really work hard so J won’t let them dowTi.”
Quirks of Fate It wras two quirks uf fate that enabled Miss Bentley to run for the office. First, Mrs. Bea, elected in the spring election was married shortly, before summer vacation and forced to resign when her service-man husband was transeferred east. Secondly, Miss Bentley, ineligible *for the office last spring acquired sufficient units during summer session to run this fall.
Miss Nelson, opposing candidate, w'as quick to wish all good fortune to the winner:
“I would like to congratulate Bobette and also, I’d like to thank all the students who helped me in my campaign. I will certainly give my full support to the newr vice-president.”
In the freshman president race, Dick Grantham piled up a 71-vote margin, which was not enough to give him the victory. Chuck Leimbach and Ken Niles will join Grantham in the runoff election.
Grantham polled 187, Leimbach 116, and Nines 104.
With the freshman vote spread over six other vice-presidential candidates, Regina Gasell was able to poll just enough votes to necessitate a run-off with Diane Holt. Miss Holt received 211 votes, Miss Gasell 109.
In Class Veep The race for junior class veep has narrowed down to two runoff opponents—Lenore Monosson and Bud Sealts.
John Garr walked into a runoff for the LAS presidency with 419 votes, while Hillard Torgen was second with 355.
Public administration school elected five council members. Thfcy are George Hartman, Dar-ell, Essex, Robert Pearl, John Bermingham, and Burt Yarnell. Hartman will be council president because he polled the most votes, 14.
Barbara Hesse polled 52 votes to win the presidnecy of the School of Music. Margaret Mee polled 35 and Angela Gittlesr>n, 6.
Elections commissioner Chuck McClure beamed over the execution of the counting.
“There was no strain, no pain and absolutely no grines,” he said. He expressed his deep ap preciation to his commission and the counters who helped pull off the smooth election.
The run-off elections will be held Thursday and Friday.
McClure said that student lethargy toward elections apparently is beginning to drop off because the turn out of voters was very high.

Judges Choose Winning Slogan For 1953 Homecoming Today
“The slogan for the 1953 Homecoming Week will be chosen by the faculty judges at 3 p.m. today,” Johanna Pick, slogan chairman said yesterday.
Some 125 entries were submitted including several by the faculty. Winning slogan will be announced tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile, Homecoming plans continue to be formulated. The publicity committee under the direction of Sherman Weiss met Friday afternoon to coordinate publicity for the November Homecoming.
Fred Chase, alumni publicity director, and Franklin Skeele, of the SC news bureau, sat in on the meeting and directed planning.
“If publicity means anything, we will have a top-flight Homecoming because we have the man-power this year to do a real job of drumming,” Weiss said.
Bob Hildenbrand, Homecoming chairman, will hold a meeting of committee heads this afternoon in SU 215. He expects to have some ’ concrete word on the fate of the parade by that time.
Official Notice
In recognition of the fact that several thousand students will attend the SC-Cal game Oct. 24, University administrative officials and student body leaders have made arrangements for a special rooters’ train to Berkeley.
Because of the risk involved due to the unusually heavy traffic on highways to the San Francisco area, and in the interest of safety it is hoped that many students will take the train rather than drive their own car.
The University, through the offices of the Educational Vice-President and the academic deans, is requesting that instructors of classes where stu-
dents are predominantly undergraduate not penalize students who are absent Friday, Oct. 23. Students will assume responsibility for making up the work which they miss in such classes.
The student rooters’ special will leave Los Angeles at 8:16 a.m. and arrive in San Francisco at 7:15 p.m. Oct. 23. The return train leaves San Francisco 8:16 a.m. Sunday and arrives at Los Angeles 7:35 p.m. The Trojan Band will ride on this train, and plans are being made by the railroad to make this train a typical “football special.”
