SC's 1956-57 political year came to a close Sunday evening when ASSC president Carl Terzian handed over a gavel. the symbol of his office, to newly-elected President Larrv Sipes.
University President Fred D. Fagg Jr., who recently announced his retirement, also was given a presentation at the ceremonies held at the First Annual Spring Leadership Retreat at the Methodist Church.
Silver Trav Award Presented by Terzian in behalf of more than 50 SC fraternities, sororities and campus organizations, the award was a silver tray imprinted with a design of the Bovp^d Administration Building.	*
President Fagg, accompanied by his wife, told the assemblage during the dinner-time presentation that he is particularly sorry to leave SC because of the many student friendships he has formed here.
Biggest Satisfaction “One of the biggest satisfactions I have had since brting at SC has been to see students taking a bieger part In th« University’s affairs and functions.” he said.
Terzian also was presented with an award—a mahogany gavel. ASSC Vfce-President Vi Jameson, who gave him the gift, said it was given by his student friends and associates with whom he has worked during the past | school year.
Dine and Chatter
The day’s program. which included a luncheon, dinner | and two panels on “Student Government in Retrospect” and “Student Government in Anticipation” was summed up bv Terzian during the dinner meeting.
He said that recommendations voiced that would constitute a better student government were: (1) Get more students in campus activities. (2) Better calendar planning for campus events, (3) Create more and better teamwork between students regardless of their studies or affiliations, (4) Promote better scholarship, and (5) Attempt to alleviate the parking problem.
New Senate P.’ans Sipes told the group that the new student adminis- I tration and Senate should: (1) Re-evaluate the present! charity program conducted at SC, (2) Study the Troy Camp sites and attempt to select better locales, (3) Create a more learned academic environment at SC, (4) Study the possibility of raising the grade point requirements for Senators from 2 to 2.5, (5) Evaluate and revise committee structures, (6) Study a freshman orientation program, (7) Study the election bylaws, and (8) Study the possibility of changing the Songfest site back to the Greek Theatre from the Hollywood Bowl.

Democrats so honored this
include Chet Davis, secretary; Laird Willott, treasurer: and Tom Pflimlin, alumni secretary.
Topics for discussion will be \ discipline, parent relationships, exceptional children and remedial readings. Other subjects also j to be discussed will be TY in the classroom, getting the job, tise of audio-visual aids, and progressive versus traditional edu- j ration.
Teachers and psychologists in the educational field will help j *tudents with their questions and problems and lead the discus-tion groups.
Ann Gibson, of the Education Alumni group, who planned the discussions said, “these discus- j sions will help to serve you and your particular needs in teach- ; ing.”
She also said that “they promise to be quite benefieient and j stimulating to all students who attend.”
The primary purpose of the open house is to inform the stu- j dents throughout the university us to what the School of Education is doing.
Another purpose of Education Week is to give the incoming students of education an idea of what courses are like and to orient tnose who are already at the University and who plan to go into education.
The crisis of teacher shortage . was the basic idea behind Dr. Donald E. Wilson's speech “Why Teach?” given yesterday as a highlight to the first day of > Education Week.
“The greatest crisis facing Aniprica today is the teacher shortage,” snid the education J
professor. “We are in need of real teachers, not just baby sitters.”
Thursday, the Education Alumni Association will present the Honors Convocation at 8:00 p.m. in Town and Gown. The assembly will honor outstanding people in the School of Education.
The culmination meeting of the Education Council, alumni officers and faculty to evaluate the years activities will be held Friday at 3663 Northland Drive, L.A., from 5 to 7 p.m.

bel, key figure in the alleged distribution of handbills during the campaign, was also inter-view-ed.
“We are not concerned with the disqualified candidates petitions at present.” Neyman declared. “Instead we are trying to bring out evidence which will throw light on the blue and white sheets which appeared during the election.”
Responsibl’*ty Determined
According to Neyman. it is necessary to establish "responsibility” for the handbills before judgments can be rendered on the disqualified candidates petitions for reconsideration.
“Right now our main concern is to consider those people who were elected and subsequently disqualified so we can clear the senate which now has several vacant seats," he said.
Hoping to accomplish this before the meeting , Wednesday evening. Neyman declared that the Activities Commission decisions rest on the evidence which they received from the people “responsible for the issuance” of the slates which resulted in the disqualification of 28 candidates in the last election.
Members of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalism fraternity, yesterday elected new officers for next year.
In-coming SDX officers are former DT Sports Editor and Columnist Jim Morad, president; newly appointed DT Business Manager Dick Blankenburg, vice president; and DT Sports Editor Carl Sawyer, secretary.

Outstanding Service Awards
Announcements of members for next years Knights, Squires and Alpha Phi Omega fraternity will be made. Men chosen in this group will be awarded for outstanding service to their class and organizations on campus.
The Gimbal award and the Trojan Diamoneer award will be presented to outstanding athletes.
Service organizations will be cited in two ways. The outstanding Men’s service organization will receive an award and the most improved men’s service organization will share in the honors.

The winners in *the recent Songfest musical extravaganza, the Student Bar Association, who represented the small men’s group will share the limelight with other outstanding men.
According to Phil Kelman. AMS publicity director, the winners of IFC and URA trophies will be aw-arded. In this group the men with highest number of accumulated points for the semester will win trophies.

Five awards for outstanding graduating seniors add to the night’s list of events. The men will be chosen for having the highest grade point during four years cf college work.
Last year’s Order of Palm vvas awarded to Jerry McMahon, j ASSC President, for his outstanding service and scholarship.
Change Selection Process
Selection of the top seven men has undergone a change this semester. Dan Cassitv, program chairman, said that the new sys- . tem should imorove the method of selection greatly.
“We are trying to make the Order of Palm and the other j six or more awrards harder to achieve, and also, the new method should remove the possibility of campus politics’ interference.”
The new system has been established to make the selections, j Aseven man committee of outstanding citizens are sharing in the selection. Tnis point of the choosing is to remove the selection from campus politics.
Citizen Committee Chooses
The citizen committee will make the final decision of selecting the seven top men from a list of fifteen presented to them by a preliminary SC committee.
Chaplain Neyman and Dr. Robert Gordon, AMS advisor, are members of the selection committee that will choose the preliminary list. Five students share the committee with the faculty membess.
Five Game Schedule
Last year, seniors affected by the PCC edict were allowed to compete in five games, half of the normal schedule. It would be logical to assume that the i same would be granted to the 1957 seniors.
Seniors who stand to regain their eligibility by the Spokane ruling are Walt Gorrell. Don Hickman, Doug Kranz. Wayne Kurlak. C. R. Roberts. Bob Rosendahl. Karl Rubke and Ernie Zampese.
Although short in number, the eight seniors that Troy is fighting to regain lost eligibility for are long on football talent and J stand to aid the 1957 Trojan squad a great deal.
May Ask Relief n is believed that SC, Wash-, ington and UCLA will ask for a complete year of eligibility for their penalized seniors. It has been rumored that Cal and a northwest school, unidentified at | present, have shifted their sentiments and will vote in a bloc with SC. UCLA and Washington.
