Split On Row In 1948 Resulted In Formation
(Editor's note—The Watchbtrd Is beginning a series on campus politics. Today he reviews the history of Trojans for Representative Government Party, tomorrow he will discuss how the party Is organized now and who runs It.)
By the Watchbird Trojans for Representative Government, the only recognized political party now on campus, was born seven years ago as an opposition to what was then virtually a monopoly party.
In a political split on the Row In 1948, a group of houses united to oppose the secret Theta Nu Epsilon which completely dominated campus i politics at that time. The group I was called the "Free Greeks’
| since its houses were free of affiliation with TNE, which had previously encompassed the entire Row.
| The "Free Greek" group, an j embryonic TRG. was composed | primarily of the larger and more ] socially active houses on the Row, but it did not begin as a political power.
Track Star Wing
Finally in 1951 it scored its first major triumph — the election of track star John Bradley to the student body presidency in a bitter, three-man contest.
The following year, TNE unsuccessfully attempted to reunite the Row'. The fading independent political party—Unity— formed a coalition with TRG behind Sigma Nu Bob Hitchcock for the presidency. But it was unable to defeat TNE-backed Wendell Casey.
During the next two year«
TRG continued to gain strength, electing a mounting percentage but not a
In its formative years TRG was no more than a loose-knit group of large houses having little more than a half-social, half political organization.
During the early years, it adopted the unhealthy policy of nominating for office everyone who wanted to run but who had been turned down by Tong. This policy had a negative effect upon the party. It looked as if TRG merely nominated candidates to satisfy the social obligations of lands autobiograph i c a 1 i certain houses.

The newly - organized, TNE-dominated Student Conservative Party endorsed Van Alstyne. although he was not a member. Van Alstyne neither endorsed the SC party, nor did he repudiate it.
Corruption Churned After a violent and bitter campaign, with name calling on both sides and corruption charged by both candidates. Van Alstyne won by 158 votes. But TRG did not lose either. For the first time since its inception as the Free Greek party, it gained control of the Senate.
TNE had expected patronage in the form of appointive officers for their support of Van Alstyne. The TNE party, however, was startled and shocked when Van Alsfyne, in an interview with the Daily Trojan, blaster TNE, and revealed that certain members of the party had attempted to bribe him into making appointments. It was clear that while TRG didn’t have a student body president, neither did TNE.

A 20-minute film of his lec-ture-sculpture on Abraham Lincoln recently won an Oscar from the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The program tonight is sponsored by the Fine Arts Alumni Association and will be open to the public. Admission is 75 cent*.
In his personal appearance, as in the film, Professor Gage talks of Lincoln as he molds his bust in clay. Starting with Lincoln as a young man, the SC sculptor gradually ages the face of Lincoln as he looks at each turning point of his career.
As the face takes shape, Gage tells of the experiences in the president’s life W'hich etched the lines of character in his face.
The demonstration ends with Lincoln as he looked just before he met death at the hands of John Wilkes Booth in 1865 at Ford's Opera House in Washington, D.C.
Other awards ‘which Gage's film have captured include a bronze medallion from Look Magazine, the Screen Producers Guild's intercollegiate award competition: and the "Film of the Month" award by the Los Angeles Film Council.
