“Measure for Measure,” the story of a girl who wouldn’t say yes to a man who wouldn’t take no for answer, was presented by the Crescent theater group last night.
The extra-curricular dramatic club's presentation of Shakespeare's only religious “passion play,” with the players all but carrying signs to signify the virtues or lack of same they portrayed, was in the main, carried off very well.
Exceptional in his lead role as Vincentio, the duke, was DickMan-gan, whose resonant voice created a staunch, but human nobleman. His pantomime alone could have sufficed.
Bouquets also to Peter Sterne, whose table-hopping and butterfly voice characterized Lucio, a complete fop.
A disappointment was John Man love, who seemed to be more interested in the beauty of his own legs in tights than in Angelo, the deputy, the part he was to act. Manlove, who also directed, overacted on many occasions, through his attempt at the classic Barrymore poses.
Also noticeable was James Bar-reca as Varrius, whose Texas tones were not exactly suited to the Shakesperean type he was tt play.
Susan Brown as Isabella, the girl who wouldn't say yes, even though her brother was hanged for her refusal, was convincing even though she lost her stage voice a few times and resorted to a flat California voice.
Mistress Overdone, a bawd, and!
Elbow,
procurer, played by |
Mimi Surany and Ray Jolly, respectively, were amusing and convincing.
Jack Owen as Claudio was fair. His Shakesperean dialogue could stand ‘brushing up,” however he resembles Burt Lancaster somewhat, and the lady viewers seemed to like him.
The presentation will continue tonight through Saturday 8:15 p.m., student lounge. Admission is fifty cents.

H. J. SHEr tltLD . succeeds Willett
Faculty Drive Exceeds $1000
by Nick Apple
Results of a political survey among more than 100 Trojans revealed that many students do not know enough about potential ASSC presidential candidates to vote intelligently.
Those who had some knowledge of the activities of campus leaders chose Unity's Alien A. Arthur over fraternity men Jack Colton and Fred Harper.
These prospective candidates collected 73.5 per cent of the votes cast in a field which also included Sen-atbc^at-Large Bob Mitchell (GUP), Senatbr-at-Large Art Wexler (UNITY*, TKE President Dick Hall (GUP), and ASSC Senate Parliamentarian and Senator-at-Large Ed Niebuhr (GUP).
Arthur Leads Individual percentages of the total vote were Arthur, 29.1; Colton, 22.9; Harper, 21.5; Mitchell, 13.8; Wexler, 5.5; Hall, 4.1; and Niebuhr. 2.7.

These Trojans probably represent the approximately 6000 ballot markers who regularly bypass their voting privilege. A similar number do the voting.
Interviewed students were asked whom they would vote for and why. The answers were both informative and amusing.
“I’ll probably vote for Harper. He’s the only one I’ve ever heard of,” said one freshman radio major.
A sophomore pre-law student said the same of Arthur, and added, “He seems to be the most dependable and trustworthy.’
“Certainly, I’ll vote for Colton. He’s my fraternity brother,” said a loyal freshman pledge.

Elton D. Phillips, university \ business manager, announced the installation of the new lighting system yesterday. Through the work of the Operation and Main-corps, the lights were up with the exterior lighting system of the Administration building.

personally, and I know that he is worthy of the position,” said a junior education major.
“Arthur is on the ball,” said a sophomore commerce major. “He realizes the needs of the student body. And besides he is above the present draft-eligible age; he will be here next semester for certain.
Question Marks
“What are the candidates party affiliation?” “What have they done?” “Sorry, I don't know any of them. I’ll have to talk it over at the house. ’ These are typical of other replies.
Although the potential candidates have not openly admitted that they are interested in Al Wiggins’ job, it can be assumed that they are. It remains for party conclaves to pick the top contenders.
Unity's big name and workhorse, Arthur, should get the nod easily. At the present he holds two Senate seats, those of Veterans’ Representative and Alpha Phi Omega president.
While serving on various ASSC Senate committees he has fought for higher student wages, reorganization of the Student Union book-| store, registration by mail, and more parking facilities. He was also Student Handbook, editor.
Battle on Row
'Disgraceful' Wampus Due Back Monday
The “Spring Fashion” issue of the Wampus, college humor magazine, will go on sale Monday. The Wampus will be sold from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at stands located on the comer of the student Union and in front of the Annex.
Reid Bridges, Wampus editor, promised that this issue “will definitely shock Jack Colton and Frank Baffa.”
Colton, Junior class president, and Baffa, IFC president, criticized the Wampus for printing a calendar by Staff Artist Mel Shestack in the December issue. They described the cartoons as lewd, lascivious, and a disgrace.”
With nearly 1500 faculty members yet to be heard from, the Red Cross faculty fund drive has reached one-third of its $3000 quota. While only 126 members have contributed, the average gift has been well over the national average.
Co-chairmen of the drive, Betty Smiley and Sharon Swan ton, will continue to receive contributions through the faculty mail. To push SC over its quota the remaining faculty members will have to contribute less than $1.50 each. Nancy Phelp6, unit chairman, yesterday said that if the $3000 quota is met it will mean SC will have paid for 428 minutes of the total Red Cross service throughout the world.
Record Seen “This would be a tremendous record for SC,” Miss Phelps said, “when considered with the 346 pints of blood which Trojans donated last fall.”
Miss Phelp6 also announced that recruiting for blood donors for Apr. 11 and 12 will begin next week. All houses on the Row will be personally contacted, and those who gave blood last fall will be notified by mail.
Quota fo” blood donations this spring will be 600—a record-high figure for peacetime. Ann Dillon and Phil DeBriere will be co-chair-men of this drive. A committee meeting will be held at the Delta Gamma house today at 3:30, when final plans for the mobile blood bank will be completed.
Project Named Mary Ann Morey, member of Red Cross board of directors, has been appointed to fill the post of production chairman. She succeeds Joan Dudley who handled the knit squares drive last semester.
When Sheffield learned of his appointment he said, “I hope I can gain and merit the same sincere respect which Professor Willett enjoys among his colleagues, students, and University of Southern California graduates. He has set high ideals and standards for any man to follow.”
Dr. Willett, a member of the SC faculty since his graduation in 1907, will continue to work in a part-time relationship with the university although he will have passed the official retirement age.
Besides being the oldest alumnus on the SC faculty, Dr. Willett has taken an active part in university affairs since his first appointment after he was graduated. He taught latin and mathematics, and became head of the mathematics department in 1921. Laler he entered administrative work. and haa served as director of admission* and registration since 1942.
He also has taken an active part in the Pacific Coast conference, serving as SCs representative almost since its founding in 1917, and reigning as president from 1933 to 1939. He is also a member of the executive board of the U.S. Olympic Games committee.
Dr. Willett is now serving his second year as president of the National Collegiate Athletic association. He was voted the alumnus who brought the greatest honor to the university in 1960 by his election as prexy of the NCAA. Another honor bestowed on Dr. Willett was his selection for the Asa V. Call Achievement award at the last Alumni day.
Dr. Willett has been secretary of the chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, national schoLsatic honorary fraternity, since 1928, and is also active in Phi Kappa Phi, scholastic honorary. He is a member of Kappa Alpha social fraternity.
Sheffield. Willett's successor, will take over his duties early in July. He will receive his degree of Doctor of Education from SC in June. He was a teaching fellow on campus from 1939 to 1941.
Sheffield, who was instrumental in the organization and development of El Camino JC, has been in his present position since 1947, when the school was formed. A native of Utah, he is a graduate of the University of Utah. He was a teacher and principal in Duchesne county, Utah, before coming to SC in pre-war days to do graduate work.
He served as dean of guidance at Santa Ana Junior college from 1941 to 1943, and then was an officer in the Navy for three years. Before going to El Camino, Sheffield worked as director of the Veterans Guidance center in Santa Ana.
Sheffield is a past president of the SC chapter of Phi Delta Kappa, education fraternity, and is a member of the board of governors of the Southern Caliofmia Junior College association.
Crime Probe Starts Court Prosecutions
Official
Notice
The political picture on the Row is a little more difficult to predict.; It will be a battle with Mitchell, Harper, and Baffa the central figures.
Harper is editor of the El Rodeo and has devoted much of his time I to the forthcoming publication. He is now chairman of the Greater University committee and has taken up the cry for mail registration forj all students.
Students enrolled in the university who will complete the two-year pre-pharmacy requirements by Sept. 1 and plan to apply for admission to the School of Pharmacy in September, are requested to notify the office of admissions by Apr. 15. Supplementary applications required of all pharmacy applicants may be obtained at the office of the School of Pharmacy or at the Office of Admissions.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 28—'UP) —Six bigtime gamblers and a notorious gambling house were caught up today in the net woven by the Senate Crime committee’s sensational investigation.
“Dandy” Phil Kastel, New Orleans partner of New York's Frank Costello, and James J. Carroll, biggest of the bookies, were among those named in court prosecutions.
Nfew York's Gov. Thomas E. Dewey ordered a grand jury investigation of alleged gambling at ; Saratoga Springs, a popular spa.
Republican members of the Senate Crime committee opened a formal drive to extend their sweeping inquiry at least until next Jan. 15.
Governor Dewey in a letter to Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) said he hoped the committee would be continued beyond its scheduled Mar. 31 expiration date. Dewey had been criticized by Sen. Charles W. To’oey, (R-N.H.) for not cracking down on the Saratoga gamblers.
The first crackdown on gambling today came at:
New Orleans—A federal grand jury indicted Kastel, and four other persons on contempt charges for refusing to answer committee questions during a Jan 25-26 hearing there.
Kansas City—Carroll, dean of the “betting commissioners” was accused under a seldom-used law oi failing to comply with provisions of the Income Tax code. He was charged on 26 counts with failing to file tax forms 1099 and 1096 in 1948 and 1949.
Philadelphia—Police raided a big “layoff” gambling establishment that accepted large bets from other eastern cities. They acted on a tip from New York Police Inspector James R. Kennedy, but the original information was developed at the committee’s New York hearings.
Albany—Governor Dewey directed the state attorney general to investigate the Saratoga gambling charges which were brought up during the Senate committees |New York hearings.
