MISSING TROPHIES FOUND RESTING ON CABINET TOP
The five missing trophies stolen from a PE Building showcase Friday are resting quietly on a filing cabinet in the PE Building today after making the rounds of doorsteps, the police station, and various unknown culprits.
The trophies, valued at S100, included three Flying Club awards and two sport momentos.
The end of the “long search” came Tuesday when Flying Club President Bill Sokol retrieved them from the University Police Station.
The police in turn retrieved them from the front porch of a house on Portland Street, where they were found abandoned. They were informed of the “hot merchandise” by a telephone call Monday night.
After finding the trophies, the police informed University officials, who informed Sokol, who picked up the trophies.
A plan is in the making to put t hem in a glass showcase in the Student Lounge.
The trophies?
Only one suffered.
An airplane was broken off one awarded to the Flying Club for “Traveling the longest distance.”

Troy Camp, SC’s summer camp for underprivileged boys, will receive 50 per cent of the money collected in this spring’s Trojan Chest drive, 10 per cent more than last year’s quota. Per centages passed after considerable discussion by the ASSC Senate last night also included 22
per cent for the campus YWCA, 20 per cent for World University Service; 5 per cent for the Community Chest and 3 per cent for the Red Cross.
The Senate also approved President Warren Clendening’s appointment of Jim Barber as Trojan Chest chairman to replace Phil Prince who is leaving SC for military service. Assistant Chairman Barber has been sharing Trojan Chest leadership with Prince while the former chairman has been in the process of entering the service.
Barber also served on the Senate’s special committee to recommend Chest percentages and he gave the report which- the Senate approved last night.
Other Senate action included passing a motion to incorporate Living War Memorial drive with the Trojan Chest drive and making the Troy Camp campaign a separate fall endeavor and approving recognition of the Israel Club and Tau Alpha Sigma, telecommunications fraternity.
Further legislation was approving the recommendations to let the Social Committee work with alumni in planning Alumni day and to switch some Student Union offices around to give student leaders more working space.
The Committee’s recommended splits of Chest funds were not approved until after long debate over IFC President Dick DuPar’s proposal to raise the Troy Camp percentage to 60 per cent by halving the 20 per cent recommended for World University Service, a student organization dedicated to raising educational standards throughout the world.
60 Per Cent DuPar’s proposal came after Mary Barrett, former Troy Camp director, said that because of increased expenses the camp must have at least 60 per cent if there is to be a Troy camp this year. Shirley Egland, School of Education president and Troy Chest appropriation committee member, said the “YWCA absolutely can’t function unless it gets 22 per cent.”
This left cutting the funds for the world group the only method of raising the Troy Camp percentage. Louis Diez, executive director of the East Los Angeles Variety Boys Club, told the senators about the benefits derived by boys from his club who attended Troy Camp. He emphasized that the camp was helping to combat juvenile delinquency, and showed 10 minutes of slides portraying the activieies of the camp.
“Charity starts at home; we’re doing a lot more in our local area with Troy Camp than we could do by spending the money on WUS,” DuPar said in supporting his proposed raise of camp funds. “Everyone in the nation gives to WUS but w'e are the only ones giving to Troy Camp.”
More Leadership Chaplain Clinton A. Neyman told the Senators that the camp tnust have more leadership from SC students and much heavier financial aid from students in the Trojan Chest drive if it is to be a success. If only $5000 is raised by Trojan Chest, the Chaplain said, it will not make much difference w'hether the Camp gets 50 or 60 per cent. “You’ve got to raise a bigger total,” he emphasized.
WUS Objective
Paul Denisse, field representative of WUS, told the senators that the objective of WUS is to aid students and universities where there is a serious need for colleges to train leaders, especially in underprivileged countries.
Dick Thomas, WUS regional secretary emphasized that the students aided by WUS will be the leaders of their respective countries In the future.
After a recess, the senators came back with a nearly unanimous clear decision to give the Camp 50 per cent and WUS 20 per cent. Boys Club Director Diez
Campus Leaders Meet With Senate in First Conference
April 7 Scheduled As Premiere of ‘Affairs of State’
The first full rehearsal for the 1954 varsity show, “State of Affairs,” will be held tomorrow in FH 133 at' 7 p.m., according to Dave Worth, director.
The show will run Apr. 7, 8, and 9 in Bovard Auditorium in connection with Trojan Chest Week. The proceeds of the production will go to Troy Camp, an annual summer project sponsored SC students.
Written by English majors Ross Sonne and David Rankin, the script is concerned with the private and public life of William Sanders, governor of the state of “beautiful mountains, lakes, and women."
The Plot
The governor and his assistant, Frank, win an election with the aid of a successful platform and are doing w’ell as public servants until their private lives and the private lives of their friends catch up with them. Then the womanly approach of Clara and Jeri save the day.
Cast in the five leading roles are Chuck Charter as the governor, George Schardt as Frank, Kay Reiter as Jeri, Jayne Lans-ford as Clara, and Betty Rhodes as Cathy.
Others in the cast include Dave Hammond as Tom, Cathy’s love-interest; Jim Coday as the old philosopher; Tyler Gilman as Eddie, the bartender; Lee Green as Mrs. Johnson, and Roy Zotter as a bus-boy.
Also in the cast are Bobette Bentley, Louis Pollay, Sue Mar-mion, and Karen Steinke.
Songs and Dance
The show will feature songs by Hal and Stan Charnofsky. Barbara Hunt, Bobette Bentley, and Louis Pollay will dance in ballet numbers by Paul Glass.
Ted Gardner is musical director; Pat MacLean, art director; and Barbara Hunt, choreography. Verne Cooney is serving as associate director.
Altogether, more than 50 students will combine talents for this year’s show. A production group of 20 students will work with the staging, construction, and lighting, with the remainder performing in the chorus and various roles.
WARREN CLENOEN1NG
. . wants closer harmony
A Leadership Conference—the first in SC campus activity history—will be held tomorrow in the Student Union Lounge from 2:15 to 5 p.m., Warren Clendening, ASSC President announced.
The purpose is to bring all campus leaders into a closer
contact with student government i	M	w
to try to solve some of the prob- [	^
lems of the individual groups.
“In the past, there has been a tendency for our student Senate
to operate without taking the in- 0 0 7 O	/	4.1
terests of the students into mind,” j JL S I mLJCLy £.0110/" Clendening explained.
Clendeningi—
approved the decision saying that the 10 per cent w7ould not make so much difference to the camp as the total raised by Trojan Chest.
Former ASSC Secretary Anne Clements seemed to keynote the feeling of the Senators when she emphasized that the most important thing is not the percentage allotted to each charity, but that the entire drive be a success so all the charities would receive large amounts.
Senator-At-Large A1 Gobert’s motion'to incorporate the Living War Memorial drive with the Trojan Chest campaign and schedule Troy Camp drive in the fall was passed unanimously. It will be effective next year.
“Officials of Troy Camp never know whether they can operate it until after the Chest drive each spring,” Golbert said. “Under this plan they would know in the fall.”
Senators also discussed Leadership and Senate Conferences to be held Friday and Saturday, respectively. The Leadership conference, running from 2 to 5 p.m., will consist of presidents of all student organizations including fraternities and sororities.
The student leaders will hear three panels: one for fraternity and sorority presidents moderated by Bob Wallach, one for interest group presidents moderated by Fred Adelson, and one for senators moderated by Murray Bring.
Saturday’s Senate Conference beginning at 9:30 a.m. will be highlighted by an experiment in group dynamics conducted by a guest psychologist, Bring said. Purpose of the conference will be to discuss what campaign promises have been kept and w-hat wrork needs to be done to fulfill them in the future.
Sacred Books Acquired for Troy Library
More than 500 volumes of religious works, including Bible manuscripts in Arabic and Syriac have recently been acquired by the religion library at the University of Southern California.
The books previously were owned by Dr. George H. Scherer, La Quinta, who spent 40 years’in Syria and Lebanon with the Presbyterian Mission Board. Part of the books were donated and the remainder were purchased by SC's School of Religion.
Among the collection is Solo-weitschik’s “The World of t n e Bible,” a collection of 700 pictures and facsimilies translated from the original Hebrew, and “The English Hexapla,” published in 1841, which contains six important English translations of the New Testament and the original Greek version.
Others are The New Testament from the Syriac Peshita version by James Murdock, the Aramic origin of the Fourth Gospel, and “A View of the Levant,” by C. Perry, which was published in
To insure maximum attendance at the conference, letters have been sent to the president of every campus organization, including fraternities, sororities, clubs, honoraries, and the ASSC Senate.
The first part of the conference will have as speaker John B. Wentz, city manager of Beverly Hills. He will speak on his experience in the field of leadership following an introduction by President Fred D. Fagg Jr.
The remainder of the program will be designed to discuss the problems facing campus ‘organizations.
“I sincerely hope this becomes an annual affair,” said Clendening. “It would greatly improve Senate-student relations on our campus.”
Tau Delts Elect Semester Officers
Elections of Tau Delta Fhi officers for the spring semester w’ere held recently with A1 Levy chosen president.
Levy is well known for his work on the Junior Class Council, the Commerce Council, and the Trojan Squires.
Taking office with Levy was Hal Horowitz, first vice president and rushing supervisor; Bernie Mendelson, second vice president; A1 Rossoff, treasurer; Dick Li-chalter, secretary. Sherman Weiss takes over as social chairman.
Ex-SC Yell King to Head Alumni Day
Paul W. Elmquist, yell king at SC in 1928, has been announced as general chairman of the annual Alumni Day for returning grads, to be held Saturday, Apr. 3.
He is heading a group of several hundred student and alumni committees who already are planning a full day of events for Trojans of the past 50 years and their friends.
Special events for alumni and members of their families, beginning with nursery-school age, will include a carnival, the spring football game between varsity teams and a barbecue luncheon on the campus lawn.
Tribute will be paid to SC’s most outstanding valumnus of the year in presenting the Asa V. Call Achievement Trophy, according to Arnold Eddy, executive director of the General Alumni Association. The day will be climaxed by the traditional baseball game between the alumni and SC faculty.
It has been the custom, in national political circles, for an administration to review its accomplishments and its failures after 100 days. Two hundred and ninety-one days have passed since the present ASSC Senate was voted into office. I feel that the time has come for student politicians to review their accomplishments and their failures.
In addition, there has been a tendency for our Student Senate to operate without taking the Interests of the student body into consideration. Indeed, the Senate has been called a “debating society.”
For the.se reasons, I am asking the members of the Senate meet with the presidents of all of our campus organizations in order t* determine what the students really want us to do.
There will be two meetings —the Leadership Conference to be held tomorrow from 2:15 to 5 in the Student Union Lounge, and the Senate Conference to be held Saturday from 9:30 to 4 in the YWCA.
I earnestly hope that campus politicians wUl be able to-sit down to determine what the students want them to do, and what is needed to bring the Associated Students up to the potential that it has thus far never reached.

ROBERT D. FISHER
has financial problems

Fields, a graduate of Northwestern University, served at that university as assistant director of development and also in the department of public relations and alumni activities from 1936 to 1943 before coming to SC.
Financial Problems Fisher will speak on the responsibilities of financially upholding a large university, and of the various insurance policies covering SC.
