Tonight Is the night most Trojan women have been waiting for all year.
For tonight at 7 In Hancock Auditorium the annual Associated Women Students’ Recognition Assembly will be held. Sixteen awards will be presented to outstanding campus women
education secretary only a week or two earlier.
Miss Irvine's reply to this came in the form of a loiter Riven her by Assistant Professor of Education Donald E. Wilson. Wilson also sponsors the council, and according to Miss Irvine, his letter verifies her eligibility to hold the office.
The letter said in part, according to Miss Irvine, “‘This is to verify that Barbara Irvine .has been a member of the Education Council during the Spring semester of 1956. Even though she has not been able to attend the meetings due to a scheduled class, she is a member in good standing, having served on the
on the proposed education center. Because of her sincere interest end partlcipattion in council events and hecause of | Deal.
Highlight of the assembly will be the tapping of new members of Mortar Board, national honorary for outstanding senior women. Before the tapping, however, Dr. Jtilia Norton McCorkle, Mortar Board adviser, will read "The Torch,” an inspiring poem that will remind the women chosen for Mortar Board “that they should be proud of their organization, not of themselves.” Candlelit Ceremony Dr. McCorkle will emphasize that “ ‘Tis the torch that the people follow whoever the bearer may be.” The entire tapping ceremony will be performed in a darkened, candlelit auditorium.
Scholarships will also be awarded at the assembly and the announcements of new members of campus scholastic and service honoraries will be made.
The scholarships are for one year and the recipients of the scholastic and service awards will be given scrolls honoring their campus achievements With graduation so near there will be special excitement for those awards to be given to senior women.
Town and Gown Award Tlv? general consensus of campus opinion is that the top honor any women can receive at SC is the Town and Gown award. This is given to the women who in the eyes of the judges have baen the most outstanding women on campus for four years The Emma Bovard award will
be given the senior women with th’ highest grade-point average in the university, while the University Leadership Recognition Award will be given to the women with the "most active service record for four years.”
Two More Awards
Both the Elisabeth von Klein-Smid and Trojan Junior Auxiliary awards will be given to two women for their outstanding sendee to the university.
Members of Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi, campus scholastic honoraries, will be announced as will the members and officers of Alpha Lambda Delta, freshman women’s scholastic group.
Alpha Lambda Delta will also present an award to one of their former members who has accumulated the highest scholastic record during her four years at SC.
Service Groups Too
Announcements will also be made at the assembly of Trojan women who have been listed in Who’s Who in American Universities. The Faculty Women’s Club and the American Association of University Women will also present awards.
To close the assembly, new members of Spurs, Chimes and Amazons will be tapped and officers of Phrateres, the YWCA, URA, Panhel, Women's Judicial Court, Independent Women's Council, the Red Cross, and AWS will be introduced.
By the Watchbird
The seating of newly-elected Education President Barbara Irvine by the ASSC Senate has failed to stem the controversy raging over her right to hold the office.
Specifically, the battle centers around the question of whether she has been a member of the Education Council, a prerequisite to holding the office. Miss Irvine has told the Senate twice that she was a member, yet Elections Commissioner Sid Owsowitz has pointed to evidence that directly clashes with her statements.
When originally challenged on membership, Miss Irvine told a Senate meeting on Ap.\ 18 that she belonged to the council the second half of her sophomore year. She said a class conflict probably prevented her from being on the roll.
Story Doesn’t Gibe HoWever, a telegram from Shirley Harwood, education president that semester, said there were definitely no half-year members on the council.
An additional check in the El Rod showed that Barbara Irvine was not in the Education Council picture, and did not have Education Council listed in her versonality write up.
She also failed to list Education Council on her petition to run for president and did not list the council on her Amazon petition, which calls for all previous activities.
Miss Irvine then stated she meant actually that she was on the council her junior year, during the current semester. This time current Education President Anita Herscher backed up the story, saying that Miss Irvine was definitely on the council and was "a great help to me."
Off Roster, Too
But a check of the council roll book failed to produce her name, she failed to use Education Council as a qualification in her campaign literature, and her name was not in a DT story listing the pi-ople vvno joined the council at the semester.
When Miss Irvine was contacted by the DT she held that the roll book had been missing before and during the week of the elections. She also said her membership on the council had been a matter between her and Council President Anita Hersch-
Film Stars Asked To See SC Play
"Marty,” a play originally written for television that earned an Academy Award as a movie, will return to television this week at SC for its first closed-circuit presentation.

Another Discrepancy
When asked to produce a receipt showing she had paid her council dues, Miss Irvine handed in one dated February. Yet a check of receipt book showed it was taken from the book following a receipt dated In April, seemingly showing it was post dated, Owsowitz said.
Miss Irvine told the DT that at the time she paid her dues, she did not get a receipt. "When this controversy over my eligibility came up, I went to Miss Herscher and filled out a receipt and post dated it,” Miss Irvine said.
She also produced her petition for the council, dated In February. Yet Owsowitz claims that the petitions of the type she handed in were given the
her membership on the council, she, I believe, is eligible for candidacy as president’.”
Mure Evidence In the DT story naming council members, Miss Irvine's name was not mentioned. Miss Herscher reasoned that this probably happened because she didn’t join tlie council until later In February, after the semester started.
Yet. according to Owsowitz, Miss Irvine's petitior. was dated Feb. 10, which could have only meant she was on the council early in the semester.
Council Member Shelley Harper also backed up Miss Irvine’s claim to membership, saying that as far as she knew, she was a member. Miss Harper is chairman of the education clinic committee and said that Miss Irvine worked w:th her.
Green Won't Talk Another council member, Barbara Green said that she knew Miss Irvine worked on a committee attempting to raise donations for the new education center. but she refused to commit herself further on the question of membership
With the seating of the new Senate, Owsowitz's office and his committee expired. But the Irvine case could turn out to be one of the biggest battles of »he early fall Senate meetings.
Friday’s telecast will conclude KUSC-TV programs for this semester. It will be beamed to sets in Town and Go\Vn dormitory and 231 HF.

with Kappa Alpha and Oh, By Jingo” In 1954, and last year with their small group, singing "Plnlones, the Pine-Nut Song."
And this year was no different. Under the superb direction of Ron Broadwell, the Kappas and Sig Eps snng their way to the sweepstakes — as well as the Mixed Division trophy— with “Once In The Highlands," from the score of "Brigadoon."
The Knppa-Sig Ep dominance didn't end there, either. Both groups also annexed trophies in the Women's and Men's divisions, respectively, the Kappas with "Live A Humble," directed by Robbie Carroll and the Sig Eps with *'A Mountain Medley" directed by Broadwell.
Kappa Alphas Win The "dark horse" entry of the gigantic production. Kappa Alpha, swept to the Novelty division trophy with their rendition of "The Game," from the score of "Damnn Yankees.” Original lyrics highlighted the number.
Obviously the show-stopper of the evening, the KAs — who barely made it past the Songfest prelims—won plaudits from the audience and judges as well with their rnambo number in particular. Tom Sant ley and Ray Kl*tle directed.
In the Men's small group division, it was another repeat performance for Acacia. Winners last year with "Chow Mein," the Acacias grabbed another trophy this year with "An Irish Ballad.” They were directed by Don Vincent.
Theta* Win Sparked by the alto voice of Sally McKenzie, Kappa Alpha Theta sang its way' to first place in the Women’s small group division with "Little Girl Blue.” Sandy Crahbe, Betty Zumer, and Sandra Krlehn rounded out the winning Theta quartet.
The Thetas also took a third place trophy in the Mixed division, as they teamed with Acacia in an audience-moving rendition of “The Story of the Three Bells.”
The winners of the UCLA Spring Sing, SAE and PiPhi, put in a guest appearance as the last number in the show with "Brazilian Psalm.”
Other Trophies Awarded Sccond-place ’ trophy winners were Alpha Delta Pi and Beta Theta PI, mixed division; Phi Delta Theta, Men’s small group; Pi Kappa Alpha, Men's division; Alpha Phi, Women's small group; and Alpha Phi and Alpha tail Omega, Novelty.
While no throphies were given for direction, possibly the most colorful of the directors was ADPI Barbara Swedenborg, who led her group in the Mixed division, singing "Elijah Rock.”
Following the UCLA singers, the entire massed chorus of mere than 800 performers and committee members .along with the Trojan symphonic band and the SC A Capella choir, joined in a grande finale number, "The Halls of Ivy." Guest conductor Gordon Jenkins directed.
In a fitting tribute to one of SC* hardest working students. Dean Bernard L. Hyink presented a special "Tommy” to Songfest chairman Bob Jani, after Jami had Just presented honorary trophies to hosts of years past.
