Commissioner Calls Initial Turnout Poor
After a first-day turnout termed “very poor” by Elections Commissioner Chuck McClure student runoff elections move into the final day of balloting at 9 this morning.
An LAS president, a junior class vice-president, and a president and vice-president of the freshman class 'will be elected by the voting which ends at 3 p.m. today in Alumni Park.
Polls did not open until 10:30 a.m. yesterday although voting was officially scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. McClure said the delay was caused by the failure of campus political parties to supply the required poll workers.
681 Voted
A total of 681 votes were cast on all three ballots in the runr off. There were 315 voters in the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences election, 122 votes for Junior Class candidates, and 244 in the Freshman election.
“It was a motley turnout,” McClure said, compared to the 950 ballots cast on the first election day last week.
In first-day voting last week, there were 152 more voters in the LAS election, 84 more voting for junior class vice-president, and 68 more ballots cast for freshman offices.
McClure does not expect today’s turnout to be any better than • yesterday’s. The ballot counting should be completed by about 5 p.m. today he said.
Rules Observed
Yesterday’s voting was practically free of rule infractions, McClure reported. There was only one case of campaigning in the polling area. Last Thursday, he said, there were vioations of almost all regulations.
Candidates in the LAS Presidential run-off are John Garr, backed by Unity and TRG parties, and Hillard Torgan, supported by All-U party.
Chuck Leimbach (TRG) and Dick Grantham (All-U) are running for the freshman presidency; while Diane Holt Al(l-U) and Regina Gessell (TRG) are vying for the freshman vice-president position.
Junior Class vice-presidential candidates are Bud Sealts (TRG), and Lenore Monosson (All-U).

Train to Cal Jazzed Up For Rooters
A dancing car, two dining cars, and a number of lounges and snack bars will all add up to “party-time” when the Trojans get together on the special rooters’ train to Cal next Friday.
So far only 250 students have made reservations for the train trip which last year proved to be a great success, according to the 450 rooters whc made the journey.
$17.50, for the round trip of approximately 800 miles, or less than two cents per mile proves to be the lowest cost of any transportation to San Francisco.
The cost of driving by car to the game would be approximately 10 cents per mile with the driver generally getting the worst of the deal, according to insurance companies.
The rooters’ train will leave Union Station at 8:16 a.m. while students from the valley area may catch the train at 8:35 a.m. at the Glendale depot. The train will arrive in San Fiancisco at 7:15 that night.
The train will return to Los Angeles at 8:15 Sunday morning and will arrive at the Union Station at 6 that night.
Baxter to Do
Romeo on TV 14 New Members
Chosen By Chimes
Dr. Frank C. Baxter will begin the preliminary reading of “Romeo and Juliet” Saturday on his “Shakespeare on TV” program. It will be presented at 11 a.m. on Channel 2.
In addition to his TV audience over a thousand students have signed up to take both the credit and non-credit, one-unit course.
year, but with the Washington set back, the attenion of UCLA and the local papers is focused on us to see if SC has the spirit to support a team even if it were \ losing,” Lucostic said.
Rumors Flying “SC was praised last year by the columnists for its team support but we had an all-time winning team. Rumors are now around that SC has no school spirit when the score goes against them. The rooters 6top cheering, and walk out before tlje game finishes.”
Registration is now closed in the $12 credit course.
His plan for reading with more understanding is to go through a play three times. “Go through the play quickly the first time, and then on the second reading, go more slowly and with more concentration. The third reading should be aloud as much as possible,” Dr. Baxter said.
In his previous lectures, Dr. Baxter has prepared for play reading by discussing Shakespeare’s London, the theatre in his day, and poetry as Shakespeare wi’ote it.
Chosen new members of Chimes, junior women’s honorary yes-terady were Margaret Thompson, Patti Tremellen, Joan Swan, Marion Meale, Barbara Border, Mary Senton, Afton Thomas, Martha Stultz, Myrna Reed, Eddie Hyland, Sallie Taylor, Iris Higbie, Eleanor Tutt, and Marcia Jo Drummond.
There will be pledged next Tuesday at 4 p.m. in Mudd Hall.

A surprise party honored Dr. Harry J. Deuel, dean of the Graduate School, on his 56th birthday yesterday afternoon at the weekly coffee hour for faculty members and students in the Graduate Student’s Lounge in the basement of Town and Gown Residence Hall.
REV. MILLER'S VIEWS HIT
Yugoslav Religious Situation Argued
by Murray Brown
A Catholic pastor yesterday disagreed with statements in a recent Daily Trojan article in which the Rev. Dr. Wendell Miller, minister of the University Methodist church, was quoted as saying t lie re is “religious freedom” in Yugoslavia and that Cardinal Aloysius Stepinac was “jusny convicted.”
In an interview, the Rev. Felix Diomartich, pastor of St. Anthony’s Croatian church who lived in Yugoslavia lor 25 years, said religious freedom in the Communist country is so suiiocaied and so limited “it practically doesn’t exist.”
He gave his viewpoint after several Catholic students had criticised the Rev. Miller’s com-frients, which preceded a talk to *he SC Faculty club.
According to the Rev. Diomartich, religious schools have been conliscated in the Tito-ruled country; the Catholic press is extinct; and no religious meetings or gatherings outside of church are permitted without a special police grant which is usually denied.
“Religious teaching is allowed only in thf churches,” the Catho-
ster, who recently returned from! Yugoslavia.
The Rev. Dr. Miller said Tito Expanding on his earlier state- ! allowed him to “talk to whomever
lie pastor said, “and government pressure makes it impossible for children to attend church."
ments in an interview yesterday the Rev. Dr. Miller maintained
that religious freedom in Yugoslavia is “very much’’ like it is in the United States.
“From all my observations, and from talking to the National Heads of all the churches and the people on the streets and on the farms, I found that all religions were alolwed to worship freely,” said the Methodist mini-

you want to, and go anywhere you want to,” and that a large number of the people he spoke to knew English.
It is the Rev. Mr. Diomartich’s contention, however, that people in Yugoslavia would hesitate to “speak freely” since they are living in a police state.
The Communist government, according to the Rev. Dr. Miller, has helped rebuild those churches which were destroyed during World War II.
“I also saw numerous schools,” the Methodist pastor said.
Cardinal Stepinac admitted that there was religious inhibition only to the point that the law requires every child to go to public school his first three years, Dr. Miller said.
Government Subsidy
Every religious group is subsidized by the government, he said, but they have to “keep out of politics.”
As the Rev. Mr. Diomartich sees it, Free expression is an important part of religious freedom.
“No chance is given to any religion to say what it thinks of atheism and materialism publicly, in churches, or at meetings.” Bishops Beaten “Two or three weeks ago in Yugoslavia,” the St. Anthony church pastor said, “10 Catholic Bishops and a number of orthodox Bishops as well as scores of priests were beaten within one week.”
The only reason churches are kept open, he said, is that the government doesn’t want to have any martyrs.
“They want the people to fall away from religion,” he said.
Stepinac Discussed In regard to Cardinal Stepinac, who was sentenced to 16 years for activities against the state, the Rev. Dr. Miller said he urged cooperation under the Hitlerian puppet government and in his own documents attacked the Western Democracies.
The Rev. Dr. Miller further stated that at the Nov. 17, 1941 Bishop’s conference in Zagreb, Stepinac “gave sanction to the (Continued on Page 4)

TURKISH OIL TOPIC OF 'HALLS OF SCIENCE' SHOW
The potential petroleum production of Turkey will be discussed Sunday on “Halls of Science” by Nick van Wingen, visiting professor of petroleum engineering. The television program is viewed over channel 4, KNBH, at 3 p.m.
Professor van Wingen was employed by the Turkish government last summer as consultant to discover how muoh oil can be produced in the refineries. “Since the government controls the oil reserves, it was necessary to work through them before planning the refineries production,” he said.
Using still photographs for illustrations, Professor van Wingen will also discuss the country and its strategic location in relation to Russia.
Professor van Wingen, a native of Holland, received his BS in engineering from Cal Tech and his MS in petroleum engineering from California.

PROFESSOR TO TELL JAPAN RED THREAT

Troy Knights To Fete Dads Tomorrow
Dad will be the celebrity of the day at tomorrow’s SC-Oregon State game when he, along with his sons and daughters of Troy will sit in a special rooting section as part of the annual Dad’s Day celebration sponsored by the Trojan Knights.
Tomorrow will be the second-
tured speaker at an International Relations dinner tonight.
“But no one on the scene and familiar with Japan can fail to discern a powerful mixed undercurrent of anti-foreign, anti-Unit-ed States, neutralist sentiment.
“The Japanese Communist Party, despite its defeat at the polls in the Diet elections earlier this year, remains an important ideological factsr. This is particularly true within the labor movement where Communist influences seems to be on the increase, ’ he continud.
Critical Problems
“However, even though Japan faces critical political and economic problems, the situation is not hopeless. Given patience on the part of the West and the necessary technical assistance, Japan should take her place as a member of the free community of nations.”
Dr. Swearingen under the auspices of the Ford Foundation just returned from Japan where he has studied the problem of the Russian impact on Japan.
On the other extreme are the observations made by I. Roger Yoshino, lecturer on Asiatic Studies, and co-speaker tonight, who also has recently returned from a Ford Foundation sponsored study of Japanese rural life.
In the village where he conducted his study Yoshino found that only 1 per cent of the people he polled were sympathetic to Communism and an overwhelming 91 per cent were against it.
City Versus Village
This seeming contradiction in Japanese opinion was due to the different localities of the studies conducted. Dr. Swearingen dealt with the metropolitan area of Japan while Yoshino’s was of Japanese village life.
Dr. Swearingen received his AB and MA in Asiatic Studies at SC and his PhD at Harvard in International Relations. He served during World War II as a language officer in the Army and in 1951 was with the State Department. He is co-author of “Red Flag in Japan,” and is director of the Ford Foundation project, “Russian Impact on Japan,” at SC.

Flapper Day Rules Changed For 53 Fete
Changes in the rules for Homecoming Flapper Day were announced yesterday by Rodger Darbonne, Flapper Day Chairman.
“Although cars should be from the 1920’s,” he said, “they will not have„to be from that period in order to compete for the tro-
phy.”
Costumes, however, will have to be from the flapper days, he continued. Bathing suits, knickers, racoonskin coats, moth-eaten or not, will be acceptable dress for the affair to be held at noon Nov. 5.
Rules will be distributed to each fraternity by meeting time Monday night, Darbonne said, so that the men’s groups can consider an entry. Deadline for entering is Oct. 30.
Old Car
Entries are to be based upon an old car occupied by participants dressed in clothes representative of the Roaring ’20s.
Each fraternity is limited to one car entry but can have as many individual participants as desired. Tandem bikes are also eligible to be in the parade, which will be down University Avenue.
The winning fraternity will be awarded a large trophy at Tro-lios and the ancient flivers will be allowed in the Homecoming parade, according to Bob Hilden-brand, Homecoming Chairman.
Flapper Day created a great deal of enthusiasm in previous years but it has been missing from the past two Homecoming celebrations. Theta Xi fraternity, winner in 1950, is sponsoring the revival this year.
Judges Stand
A judges stand will be located near Tommy Trojan to review j the Flapper Parade. Judging will be based on appropriateness to humor, and
ActionDue Within 10 Days
University Avenue from West 34 Street to Exposition Boulevard may be closed to vehicular traffic within a period of 10 days or two weeks, Financial Vice-President Robert D. Fisher said yesterday.
University officials have formally requested the City Council to close the street because vehicular traffic creates a great danger to the large number of pedestrians who use the avenue between 34 and Exposition, he said.
Favorable Action
The matter has been acted upon favorably by the Board of Public Works, the City Engineer, and the Traffic Engineer as well as other city officers and departments.
Legal problems have been studied by the City Attorney.
At present the matter is before the Traffic Committee of the City CounciL The committee will draft an ordinance for action by the Council, and it is anticipated that the Council will act on the ordinance within a week.
Work Out Details
Exact details of how the en-1 trances to University Avenue from side streets and at its ends will be closed are still to be worked out. Fisher said. They may be closed in such a way that it will merely 4F steel posts.
The Avenue will have to be colsed in such a way that it will be readily accessible at times of emergency to the fire and police departments, to the water department and other public utilities, and for limited delivery service to University buildings.
Closing of the avenue is possible since the University now owns all property on each side of the
street from 34th Street to Exposition Boulevard.
Knights have set up a special reserve section.
Jack Cashin, chairman of Dad’s Day said arrangements have been made for all students and their
dads to enter gate 25 of the Coliseum and go directly to their seats with a minimum of waiting.
Knight President Tom Graham has urged all Trojan students to invite their dads for tomorrow’s game and said there will be ample seating facilities for all.
Last year’s celebration brought out over 200 fathers, and the Knights expect an even larger turnout this year.
During the half-time activities, a special card-stunt is planned as a tribute to the dads.
A-Books, Ducats Needed at Came
No students will be admitted to the Oregon State-SC game tomorrow without A-books and rooters tickets, John Morley, University ticket Manager, announced today.

Sorority women are allowred to participate in any fraternity entry, Darbonne said, provided they are properly attired for the event.
“Judging from earlier Flapper Days, this should be one of the big events of Homecoming Week,” Hildenbrand said, adding that he expected a capacity turnout for the revived affair.
In past years, many unique entries vied for the crowd's acclaim. Using a 1916 fire eneine in the 1949 parade, Beta Theta Pi rescued a “bootlegger” who escaped
the “feds” by jumping from the Student Union fourth floor into the Beta fire net.
