Senators To View Proposals
Call Last Meeting For ’55-56 Senate
The 1955-56 ASSC Senate will meet formally for the last time when it holds a business meeting at 6:15 in 418 SU.
The session will end promptly at 8:30, ASSC President Jerry McMahon said yesterday, to enable the senators to attend the Trojan Choraliers’ concert in Bovard Auditorium.
Topping the agenda for tonight's meeting will be a report from the chairman of the Elections Investigation Commission and the final consideration of an amendment to the ASSC constitution which would curtail the activities of campus political parties.
Finer» Told Bob Kent, chairman of the Investigation Commission, will name students who will be ordered to pay fines because they violated the ASSC election code in last week’s election.
Some infringements cited by Kent were the marking of candidates' names in chalk on sidewalks, pencil marks on buildings, and markings in the Grill and other student meeting places.
International Relations President Marguerite Cooper will give the final reading of her bill which concerns campus political parties.
“The amendment does not mean parties could not be formed,” she said. “It would deny them the use of university facilities for meetings and publicity in the Daily Trojan.”
System Wrong Miss Cooper said she thinks the party system at Troy is “wrong.”
“A party should express a political philosophy which differentiates it from other political parties,” she added.
Another vote to be taken by the Senate will be the final consideration of a proposal, sponsored by ASSC Vice-President Betty Metzger, which would reword the by-laws of the ASSC Social Committee.
Miss Metzger, who is chairman of the committee, said her proposal “will give the committee more power to carry out its delegated duties.”
She said her plans call for the establishment of a new Social Judicial Body which would have the power to take direct action against sorority and fraternity houses that have broken rules laid down to them by the university.
Not Representative At present, the Social Committee deals with the offenders but Miss Metzger feels the group, which consists of 12 appointees, “is not representative of the student body.”
Her proposed judicial body would be comprised of the Pan-hellenic and IFC presidents, the men's and women's independent representatives, the foreign students representative, the ASSC vice-president, the counselors of men and women, the ASSC Social Committee chairman, and the chaperone chairman.
More Bills Two bills that also will come up before the Senate for final consideration will concern the method of selection of yell kings and the formal establishment of Religious Emphasis Week and Homecoming.
The yell king bill would provide for the nomination of yell king candidates by the student-faculty committee. At present, the yell king is chosen by students in the regular ASSC election.
He added that the present administration will meet with the new administration at the Phi Sigma Kappa house at 5:15 p.m. on that date.

Manufacturer Has Birthday; SC Gets $$
The Colgate-Palmolive Company, celebrating its 150th birthday, gave SC an unrestricted $3000 Friday. It was part of the company's $500,000 financial aid to 186 selected colleges and universities throughout the nation.
“It seems fitting to us that business should help colleges through financial aid Just as the colleges help business by training men and women to carry on your work,” said E. H. Little, chairman of the Colgate-Palmolive board of directors, in a letter to President Fred D. Fagg Jr. of SC.
“We are happy to be able to extend this aid to the country's centers of higher learning. We do not in the least regard our contributions as a gesture of generosity but rather as the acknowledgment of a responsibility which all good citizens, both private and corporate, owe to the future of our enlightened nation.”
President Fred D. Fagg wrote Little that “this timely assistance, coupled with the help which is being provided by other Industrial concerns, will do higher education great good, and particularly a private institution like ours which does not rely on •Uta funda tur ita aupport.
Conversation Tea Slated By Mortar Board
Records, backdrops, typewriters, and paintings will serve as background tomorrow for the Mortar Board sponsored Conversation Tea.
Entitled “4 Arts Sake,” the tea will feature a panel discussion of art and Its relation to students at 3:15 p.m. in Elizabeth von KlelnSmid Hall.
“The theme of the arts was sslected because of the tremendous response to last year's tea on 'Art for Our Sake,’ explained Cammie King, president of the senior women’s national honorary.
Related Art«
Misfr King said that the faculty's enthusiasm for the arts will be contagious and probably boost attendance at concerts, plays, and art exhibitions if students realize that “the arts are not isolated functions, but are related to each of us.”
Guest speakers at the tea will be William C. White, drama department stage manager; Richard A. Condon, instructor in English; John R. Crown, professor of piano; and Mrs. Susan Peterson, associate professor of fine arts.
Mrs. Peterson summed up the attitude« of all the panelists when she said that “appreciation of the arts enables a person to enjoy life more.”
Better Consumers “In addition, women can learn to be better consumers,” Mrs. Peterson said. “Art has to do with all visual aspects of living. A woman who appreciates the arts is more selective in her choice of clothes, furniture, and draperies.”
Miss King said that the teas are held to expand the cultural horizons of students.

Cerrell to Step Down From Political Throne
By The Watahblrd
Like General MacArthur and other old soldiers, TRG Political Boss Joe Cerrell today announced that he will fade away from the campus political scene, but his party will never die.
Cerrell condemned the mockery of democratic procedure involving "literal seduction at the polls and the circus of chickens and monkeys in front of the student union" as he labeled the recent campaign "the crummiest in history.”
The veteran politico said that he was disgusted with TRG members because “when it came to a choice between a TRG candidate who was an Independent and a Row man affiliated with TNE, they voted for the person with the pin."
Terzian Denies Student Body President-Elect Carl Terzian denied Cerrell’s charges and stood on his record on the Senate as opposing TNE.
"I regret that Joe has not learned that you don't build up one person by tearing down another," Terzian said. “The results of this last election show that SC students don't approve of smear tactics. Too bad Joe hasn't learned this.”
Terzian declared that he has "never owed allegiance to any underground political organization, is not a member of TNE, and haa no intention of ever belonging.”
Admitting that there is "no philosophical difference between TRG and TNE,” Cerrell said that the only diiiuanca batwaen
the two partiea Is In their method of electing student body officers.
"TRG is not dead because It can muster a minimum of 60 to 70 per cent of the Senate next year," Cerrell said. “If TRG-en-dorsed people remain loyal, we will have TRG government because the Senate is supreme over the non-TRG executive.” The suddenly-cynical politician said that TRG can never dl^ because the big houses and the sororities cannot gain membership in TNE. He said the name — Trojans for Representative Government—may die, but the organization cannot.
Fitting End Admitting that he doesn’t Intend to make friends by his statements, Cerrell said that the recent elections were a fitting end to his career as a campus politician because he “started on a losing slate as an independent, rose, and quickly fell again.” As a result of TRG’* defeat for the top executive positions, Cenell quoted Adlai Stevenson’s statement that he "felt like a small boy who had atubbed his toe—too old to cry, too hurt to laugh."
Cerrell commended Student Body President-Elect Carl Terzian aa a “capable adminiatra-
tor.”
"But Terzian owe* hi* allegiance to TNE,” Cerrell concluded. "I doubt the effectiveness of a person who is subservient to such an underground political organization.”	,
