Election Fines, Reports Keep Senators Busy
by Gary Kreutz
Reports, recommendations, and a resolution—all stemming from the ASSC election—kept the AS-SC Senate busy last night in a relatively mild and sparsely attended meeting.
The greatest interest was aroused by a preliminary report from George Gonzales, chairman of the elections investigating committee, who submitted a list of 18 candidates to be fined for elections infractions.
Bill Van Alstyne, who had the largest number of violations recorded in the report, successfully questioned the illegality of two reported violations — stuffing campaign literature into copies of the Daily Trojan and placing signs on lamp posts along University avenue.
Levy Fines
He stated that the election rules did not specifically outlaw these practices and that the investigating commission did not have the authority to “arbitrarily” levy fines on them.
“Stuffing handbills in the DT may be illegal On other grounds, but it does not come under Gonzales’ jurisdiction,” Van Alstyne said.
Radmilla Gogo, who was also recommended for fine for having placed signs on lamp posts opposed it saying, “Frankly, I don’t know
w here I can* get $30 to pay the fine.”
The Senate finally approved the fines by a close roll-call vote after cutting the two debated issues,
Assembly-Line
After the mid-evening recess, motions were presented and approved by the Senate in assembly-line fashion.
Murray Bring, independent men’s representative, began the session by moving that the Senate ask the faculty committee to grant recognition to the Civil Liberties conference or disclose its reasons for denial of recognition.
The group, which is attempting to gain school recognition, was approved by the Senate earlier this spring but was refused by the faculty committee on what Bring claimed were “vague reasons.”
The move was approved by the Senate.
Approval Voted
Approval w'as then voted on Van Alstyne’s motion to create a six-man committee, two from each political party of not more than junior standing, to study the election and mechanical difficulties for possible revisions which will be presented before the new Senate next fall. It is now up to
the party chairman to name members to the committee.
The Senate hastened to approve Gonzales’ motion to write a letter to Los Angeles newspapers disapproving their handling of the recent “heat riots” on the
Row.
“It was just a trick to sell more papers,” Gonzales said.
Gonzales also received approval of his motion to extend cbngratu-lations to Senator-at-Large Bo Jansen for his prize-winning effort in the Hearld-Express Hearst oratory contest Tuesday evening.
Special Meeting
A special Senate meeting to approve election run-off results will be held at noon Monday. Casey assured senators the meeting will be a short one.
Earlier in the evening, Jim Lu-costic, elections commissioner, gave a preliminary elections report in which he gave 21 recommendations for handling future elections. The Senate will act on his report, when it is completed.

Commerce Society To Stage Tour
Delta Sigma Pi, professional commerce fraternity, is sponsoring a tour through Blythe and Company, an investment bank, and the Los Angeles Stock Exchange today at 11 a.n*.
Students may sign up for the trip, in 100 Bridge hall. A limit of 20 students has been set, and transportation will be provided for them.
“This is another of many tours conducted by Delta Sigma Pi to promote a closer affiliation between the commercial world and students of commerce,” said President Ernie Breeden.
Pat Johnson, SC’s 1951 homecoming queen, has received the new title of Hollywood Park Goose Girl for the turf season opening May 12.
She will preside over the 50-day racing program by rowing a boat across a pond In the center of the track, and by feeding the geese, ducks, and swans.
Since Pat left SC this February, she has been taking one big vacation. “I’ve been sleepng late every day, and having a lot of fun,” she said. “I plan to teach in an elementary school this fall,” she continued, “but I don’t know where yet.”
She majored in psychology while attending SC, “mainly to catch a husband,” she said. And she did! She and Ralph Pucci, a former Trojan fullback, have set
the date for Sept. 12. Pucci is now' a salesman for the Transcon Freight lines.
A little surprised at receiving a call from the DT for an article on her newly-won title, she bubbled over with information about the contest which was sponsored by the Inglewood Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with the Hollywood Turf club.
“The Chamber of Commerce chose 8 finalists from 34 entrants,” she said, “and photographers from the downtown metropolitan papers chose the winner.”
A luncheon followed the contest at Miller’s Steak house, Prairie and Manchester, for the eight finalists, the mayor of Inglewood, the Inglewood Chamber of Commerce and City council, and personnel from the Turf club.
HALE COURT TO AIR PREJUDICE ISSUE
The constitutionality of discriminatory clauses in fraternity charters will be argued in Hale Court finals May 16 in the law school auditorium.
Arguments pro and con will be presented at a mock State Supreme Court session by Warrin Segal and George Dell, who qualified for the final round by topping other law students in preliminary Hale competitions during the past year.
Charges Discrimination
Three judges will hear Segal
appeal his case. Justice Paul Val-lee of the District Court of Appeals will preside. Associate justices are Parker Wood, also of the District Court of Appeals; and Daniel N. Stevens, of the Superior Court.
In the original complaint, which was dismissed by a Superior Court, Segal stated Joe College was able to seek admission to only three of the 20 social fraternities recognized by the fictitious State of Hale university.
Restrictive Clauses
Eleven fraternities have clauses in their charters restricting their membership to “white, Caucasian” persons. These houses and six others, though not having such clauses, have practiced discrimination, the complaint alleges.
Because Joe College is not allowed to join fraternities, he thus is deprived of the opportunities which are enhanced by membership in a social fraternity. Therefore, the complaint states, he is not able to enjoy and take full advantage of the education opportunity offered by the university.
‘Whites’ Only The complaint also cites the case of Moe Graduate who similarly had been injured because membership in Rho Rho Rho professional legal fraternity is restricted to “whites.”
Although the complaint prayed university officials be compelled not to recognize its fraternities
which practice discrimination, the case was dismissed on grounds no cause of action for Joe College or Moe Graduate against the college officials was requested.
Consequently, Segal gained judicial consent to appeal the case to Supreme Court of the State of Hale.
Fourth Amendment
Irwin O. Spiegel, chairman of finals, said the Fourth amendment clause prohibiting states from denying equal protection of
the laws would be used to support Segal’s appeal before the visiting justices.
A decision upholding Segal’s arguments would not affect SC as it is a private institution, Spiegel said.
, The proceedings will be included in Alumni day activities, and will be called to order at 10:30 that morning.
Mask Myths' At4:15 Today
Three one-act plays, “Myths in Masks,” written and directed by^ SC art education students, will be presented this afternoon at 4:15 in 101 Harris hall.
Adapted from a Pacific Northwest Indian legend, an ancient Chinese folktale, and a modern German myth, the plays were written by students ift the art class who made the masks and designed the stage settings.
The masks will be all the audience sees above a curtain on the stage. Paul B. Flick, assistant professor and director of art education, directed the mask making.
Students participating are Rose Cekada, Goldie Harcus, Imogene Kehn, Mrs. Helga Mennig, Milton Nelms, Kenneth Sweinhart, and Ann Timons.
Dean of Students Bernard L. Hyink, after meeting with Counselor of Men Albert F. Zech and Counselor of Women Mrs. Edwarda White, yesterday issued the following statement concerning Tuesday night’s melee:
“The university in no way countenances the actions of those of its students Tuesday night in the setting of bonfires, particularly at a time when the fire department might have been needed urgently in other parts of the community.
“We are grateful to the fire department for their patient help; at no time were the fires allowed to encroach upon or endanger private property. Although no citations asserting violation of a city ordinance regarding street fires were issued by the police officers who were present and who very capably handled the students afflicted by ‘spring fever.’ the university plans to take disciplinary action against the students who W'ere responsible.
“Similarly, the abortive and short-lived ‘panty raid’ is a violation of university regulations, and for those students who participated in the unauthorized
entry of the sorority house the recommendation for discipline by the Student Men’s council and the Faculty Student Activities committee will likely be suspension or expulsion from the university.”

Current trends of India’s foreign policy will be discussed today at 2:15 p.m. in 129 FH by Dr. Tarak-natn Das, professor of public affairs at New York university and lecturer in oriental history and politics- at Columbia university.
Dr. Das ended his studies at Calcutta university in 1902 to become a member of the Bengal underground movement.
Coming to the U. S., he began the first newspaper advocating complete Indian withdrawal from British rule in 1907. He w'as working his way through various American universities at the time.
Gets Ph.D.
He received his Ph.D. at Georgetown university in 1924, and took a 10-year tour of Europe. He worked for culturalcooperation between India and other lands, and in 1934 was forced to return to the U. S. because of his opposition to Hitlerism.
Dr. Ross N. Berkes, acting director of international relations, in an interview yesterday said he has “found distressingly little comprehension in American university life of the emergence of India as an important factor in contemporary world affairs; still less does there appear much knowledge of the policies adopted by India.”
Shirtsleeved election workers mopped their brows yesterday and predicted that 1300 voters will have passed through tke polls by the time the ASSC run-off election ends at 3:30
this afternoon.
A total of 681 voted yesterday. Polls are scheduled to open
this morning at 9:30 and Elec- i------------------------------------------
tions Commissioner Jim Lucostic < warned party representatives and , members of the Elections commis- I sion to be on hand by that time, j
“We won’t start the election un- i til we have enough people to man the polling area,” he said. “Yesterday polls didn’t open until 10:10 a.m. At that time only three poll workers had appeared. We had to recruit more troops right off the street,” Lucostic said.
More Accurate Check
Dr. Alex Aloia, student activities adviser, demonstrated a new election procedure which will enable workers to keep a more accurate check on who has voted and how many ballots have been issued.
He said that the new method is expected to clear up any question over differences in the number of ballots issued and the number of &krds signed.
Dr. Aloia said that even the most elaborate precautions are useless when parties fail to send representatives to work at the polls. “To insure a fair and honest election, the results of which cannot be questioned, parties must provide workers for us. This they have not done.”
Need Morning Workers
Lucostic said the shortage in election workers occurred in the morning hours. “We’re OK in the afternoon,” he said. He-also asked members of the Senate Election Investigating committee to report to the polling area during election hours.
Ballots for the 22 candidates in the election will be counted immediately after the polls close today at 3:30. Results should be available at approximately 7:30 and will be published in Friday’s DT.
