Wiggens Fights ASSC Election Malpractices
ASSC President Al Wiggins announced yesterday that he will make it his personal responsibility to guard against malpractices in the coming ASSC campaign and election.
He said he would use all means at his disposal to seek out and punish any offenders to the full extent of university regulations.
In a letter to the ASSC Senate, Wiggins said:
“It is my feeling in regard to the forthcoming elections of student officers that implicit in my authority and responsibility as president of the Associated Students is the enforcement of university and ASSC regulations. I consider the conduct of that election my personal responsibility.
“I therefore take this opportunity to assure the student body, the university administration, and all participants that I shall do everything within my power to insure against malpractices in the coming cam paign and election. If, however, malpractices are noted, I will use every means at my disposal to seek out offenders and to see that they are punished to the limit of university regulations.
It is clear that we cannot countenance even a suggestion of tampering with the election procedures. It is clear that we cannot countenance the type of malicious campaigning which is based on slander and mudslinging. It is clear that

Senator Says That Proposed PA System Would Disturb Study'
It was “God bless President Wiggins night” at the ASSC Senate Wednesday, according to an eye-catching note on a blackboard. Wiggins showed no signs of “fading away.”
He responded to his admirer by coming up with some sharp comments during the evening, especially in regard to the proposed University avenue public address system.
In response to M. S. Malik’s objection that a public address system would disturb his library study,
Wiggins asked, “When were you last in the library?”
No Music
Mai Morris, who reported on the PA plan, explained that no music would be played over the system— and Wiggins added “that means no bop.”
The PA system would be used to make . special announcements approved by the dean of students’ office. It will be used as part of the Civilian Defense warning system.
Fred Harper’s Greater University committee took up most of the Senate’s time. He delivered six subcommittee reports, ranging from plans for a more elaborate undergraduate diploma to sending the Trojan marching band back to the Army football game next fall.
Two Requests
Dave Durst, chairman of the subcommittee investigating the diploma situation, asked that:
1.	The administration consider a change in the undergraduate diploma.
2.	The size be increased for ‘‘conspicuous framing.”
A third recommendation was voted after Senator-at-Large Art Wexler objected to the design presented by the subcommittee. The

Red Cross Ends Year's Activities
Final activities of the year were wound up by members of SC’s Red Cross unit yesterday in preparation for the new staff of officers which will be elected next week.
Reports were given by various committee chairmen of activities conducted during the past semester and of those still in progress.

Embarrassing

Senate OKs Ticket Books For Concerts
Recommendations for a $5 student concert book which would provide nine reserved-seat tickets for musical events were approved by the ASSC Senate Wednesday nighk One advantage of such a plan as outlined by Art Stilwell, president of the School of Music, is that an organization may purahase a block of concert-ticket books and thereby be assured of sitting as a group.
In addition, no student identification card would be required, making it possible for books to be exchanged between students and all the tickets used.
The ticket book would include two tickets to campus-produced operas, two tickets to special campus concerts, and five tickets to other campus concerts, including the a capella choir, orchestra, and band.
Stilwell recommended to the Senate that the plan be adopted on a trial basis for the year 1951-52.
A new course, “concert music,” is being recommended by the Sohool of Music for the fall semester. The course would carry one-half unit credit, be required of all music majors, and open to all students in the university.
