Elections Integrity at the YWCA, The committee, which is composed of faculty-members and students alike, discussed the general subject of "Is Cheating a Matter of Self-Defense?” The Committee maintained, as does the McCall article, that an over emphasis is placed on the importance of grade--. Such high value is placed on grade averages that a student will use any means to get an A or B. Real Goal Lost In the struggle to get a good grade, the magazine maintains, the student often loses sight of the real goals of education. Also discussed by the committee was a long list of recommendations which Hip Faculty Senate's committee on cheating intends to present to the ASSC senate. Among other things, the list includes a number of suggested methods of controlling and preventing cheating on campus. Student Disapproval The faculty suggests that a more thorough job of destroying mimeograph carbons of tests be done; that there be a more thorough screening of proctors and assistants to the instructors; and that widespread disapproval of dishonesty hy the student body would also help. The student-faculty committee was composed of Dean of Students Bernard H.vink, Dr. William Templeman, Liz Jones, and Jim Maddux. DAILY® TROJAN voi.

Involves All Classes The McCall article, while maintaining that "cheating is a national problem,” said that it involves youngsters from good families as well as bad. "Honor systems—used in ten per cent of the nation's colleges —are not preventatives for cheating,” the magazine article | continued. “As witness- the fact that 93 cadets, the cream of the football squad, were Caught cheat- | ing at West Point a few years ago, and 109 students were caught at the University of Florida.” Included in the article were comments by scores of students, who said: "how else are you supposed to get ahead,” or "it’s okay if you get away with it,” or, ‘‘it can’t be so bad when everyone I know does it.” rids Today /^CCf Croup Initiates 16 tot In the AWS run-of( h»» been extended l toon today, np In yesterday'» poll-has resulted In *tlon Chairman Cam-flns'i decision to let vot-Fn from 9 a.m. through lay, »a» the rare for both 1» so very close, 1 I* only fair Ip lei the who were unable to »terdav cast their bal-1 morning,” MIm King ***• o( the elections. tN> Kathy Niemeyer |1* Svendson running •*»>, and l.inda Lis-4C* PfRgy Edwardson lor treasurer, will be In tomorrow's DT. The Iota Chapter of Alpha Beta Psi, national accounting fraternity, initialed 16 new members at a ceremony ¡Saturday in the Pasadena Elks Club. Dinner preceded the initiation, which was highlighted by dancing. Attending the activities were members, alumni, faculty, and their guests. New members are Stanley Anderson, Leonard Cacioppo. David Current, Richard Cummins, Neal Edwards, Thomas De Yager, African wedding, and the rhythms of the bongo and tomtom. Rhythms that have been influenced by America and Latin America are also scheduled. Promotes Culture and Tradition Chukuemeka Okeke. emcee of I the show, said that all the performers are non-professionals from local colleges and universi- ! ties whose main purpose is to ' give to the American audience j some idea of the African culture and tradition. The show includes a torch dance done only by young worn- j en because of its vigorous move- | ments and exercise. "After seeing, this dance,” Okeke said, "Americans will understand why African women do ! not have to go on diets.” Another dance features Afro-American Robert leHouse, who becomes so engrossed with the rhythm of the drums that he dances until he collapses from exhaustion. ^ Even wrestling will be done to drum beat. Different drum rhythms are used to tell each combatant the holds and strategy to use. African wrestling differs 1 from American, he explained. In that there are more ways to ob-| tain a fall. > Features Popular Drummer Anyogu Ukonu, program director and performer, is considered by many to be the best African drummer in the United States. Ukonu. a UCLA theatre arts major, has appeared on stage and ' television, and is booked to perform for two months this summer at the Last Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas. "We are putting on this program so that Americans will understand us better.

Baxter and hi* 'Shakespeare on TV’ may well serve as an example for those whose aspirations are high. "Already recognized hy his colleagues and students for his unusual talent, this scholar-teacher has. through the magic of television, carried Shakespeare's profound wisdom and eloquent speech to thousands wno today.have a better understanding of the deeper meaning of poetic grandeur because of him and KNXT (CBS). “In recognition of this major contribution to cur country’s cultural growth and to the stature of television as an educational device, the Peabody Television Award is hereby presented.” Dr. Baxter's reply was; “I am deeply grateful for this coveted award. Apart from my personal gratification, I am glad for the encouragement this will give to the many other people who are now engaged In educa- i tional television. “Letters from very old and very young, from professional men, librarians, teachers, patients in government hospitals, thousands of housewives, and from all sorts of people, have reassured me that educational television answers America. "We are all trying to get people to read more widely and appreciatively. I must thank CBS for devoting good saleable time to my programs on a public service basis.” The Peabody awards were sot up in 1940 by the board of regents of the University System of Georgia to recognize the mos1 disinterested and meritorious public service each year by radio and television, and to perpetuate the memory of the late Georgi- Foster Pcahody.__________ Delta Gamma Bolts TRG Delta Gamma sorority submitted Its request for resignation to the executive committee of TRG last night In a late hour meeting.

By a 25-2 vote the executive committee voted to recommend to the general assembly to accept the resignation. Until the general assembly accepts the resignation. Delta Gamma is still a member of TRU. Both party Chairman Joe Cerrell and Senator-at-I.argc Dave Gershenson lauded the sorority for previous work In campaigns. Discussion on the major party change continued after 12 p.m., past the Daily Trojan deadline. A complete resume of the event will appear In tomorrow’s Daily Trojan. ______________ Watchbird Reveals Innercircle; Frank Cress, Charles Green, Carl Greiner.

"The other offices around me and the huge' Student Lounge would have served me wonderfully for entertaining and giving dinner parties," Whittemore Stated. “I would have had dances in the Lounge and then would have adjourned with my friends to the television room on that floor for more entertainment." But Whittemore couldn’t very well live in a place he wasn't able to get into at night, so he had to move back into his old apartment. However, he still spends most of his waking hours in the Independent office. "If they ever decide to give me a key to this place. I'll move my things right back in,' Whittemore said “This is the finest building on campus and I hope to someday make tt my home.” The English department has announced an Invitation to all architecture and engineering majors who have a flair for writing to enter the Mary A.

However, TRG was unable to capture the AMS presidency, the office of yell king, and the Commerce presidency. These were the three places where TRG met definite opposition in the relatively quiet campaign. TRG Only Party This year, because of their TRG's position became strong- j control of the Senate, and beer and stronger last year as elec-1 cause theirs is still the only tions neared. recognized party machine on Partly because of sensational \ campus, TRG appeared to be exposes of the TNE-dominated | powerful. And yet, is it? Student Conservative Party by DT columnist Mark Thoreson, j and partly heacuse of TRG’s majority in the Senate, the SC1 party failed to get the Univer- j sity sanction it needed lo func-1 tion as a legitimate political party. In addition, ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne became In- I creasingly more sympathetic to the TRG cause. Van Alstyne Reverse This inclination finally culminated in Van Alstyne's fraternity, Acacia, joining the party. ; Shortly before the election, Van 1 Alstyne wholeheartedly endorsed i 1 the TRG slate and the TRG j I cause. The TRG slate was an inter-sting one. Possibly because of For months, informed campus observers have been predicting that TRG will eventually be so torn with strife and bitterness that the party will eventually dissolve this year. These observers substantiate their predictions hy pointing to rumblings of dissatisfaction from Important members of the party. They claim that certain houses have become disgruntled because of the extreme power of the so-called "inner circle” of party, . . „ leaders who seen, to dictate to »«n. who success uliy maintained cent withdrawal of Kappa Sigma from the party. Kappa Sigs were disappointed by the party's failure to completely support Dann Angeloff in his race last year for yell king. Many TRG voters broke party ranks and voted for Bill liillinck, who trounced Angeloff for the office last Spring. Cerrell, Caesar's Wife Party Boss Joe Cerrell may have to successfully play the role of Caesar's wife. Calpurnia, and keep the Row members united behind independent Greg Taylor. Cerrell and his “inner ciYcle,” however, seem capable of fulfilling their obligations to the parly. Not a newcomer to politics, Cerrell has had his finger in the political pie since his first days as a freshman. In the days of the old Unity under his command, the party became a powerful machine. It has been said that Cerrell's key to leadership seems to lie in a basic knowledge of political strategy and a willingness to put in long hours of work. During campaign months, he averages eight hours a day on TRG activities. “Inner Circle” Revealed Running a major political campaign is too much work for a single man, and Cerrell realized this. Therefore, he has gathered about him a “kitchen cabinet" of political strategists who compose the “inner circle" of TRG. This group of leaders, of-fically called the Membership Committee, is composed of six | men. Psi Upsilon Art Gontier is the i "old guard” of the TRG “innc1 the party. DG Prompts Rout People in the know also refer to the recent tiff over the party’s nomination of Pi Phi Mary Laird for ASSC Vice president. Miss Laird was opposed for the nod apathy on the. part of the SC | by DG Vi Jameson. Competent party members, and partly because of general apathy toward campus politics in general, most TRG candidates were unopposed. They were swept into office in the landslide of votes which ■ ASSC President Jerry McMahon observers claim that the party's repudiation of the DG block of votes will result in a “mass rout” of houses. Another indiration of the unrest and dissatisfaction among strong party members is the re- party (organized and composed | circle, of independents), Cerrell served The gioup is chalrmanned b. his political internship under f ex-Tong member Ron Wein Unity Chairman Bo Jansen. Jan-! traub. | Weintraub, who is a ZBT, and the coalition of the Unity Party \ who unsuccessfully ran for AMiJ with TRG, passed his political | president last year, has taken much of the work load off Cer-rell's hands during the recent reins to Cerrell.

But Whittemore couldn’t very well live in a place he wasn't able to get into at night, so he had to move back into his old apartment.

Not a newcomer to politics, Cerrell has had his finger in the political pie since his first days as a freshman. In the days of the old Unity under his command, the party became a powerful machine. It has been said that Cerrell's key to leadership seems to lie in a basic knowledge of political strategy and a willingness to put in long hours of work. During campaign months, he averages eight hours a day on TRG activities. “Inner Circle” Revealed Running a major political campaign is too much work for a single man, and Cerrell realized this.
