Groups Consider Row Riots
IFC Asks for More Time to Investigate Riot Muddle
A temporary report and a list of recommendations was presented to the administration yesterday by the special five-man committee appointed by the Interfraternity Council to investigate last week's much-publicized riot on the Row.
The student committee presented their temporary recommendations to the administration’s Student Activities Committee and asked for more time to investigate the situation further.
The IFC committee spokesman said that since they had only 30 hours in which time to look into the muddle created by the riot, they feel that their report should be considered only temporary until they can complete their investigation.
At a special IFC meeting at the Tau Kappa Epsilon house earlier in the day, the fraternity representatives okayed their committee's list of recommendations and sent thè committee into conference with the administration.
Both committees met together for two and half hours an’ came to no definite conclusions over the matter. A report is expected to come from the Student Activities Committee early next week.
The SAC recommendations will then be carried out only after they are accepted by President Fred D. Fagg Jr.
Counselor of Men Robert Gordon complimented the IÏC and their committee for "the adult way in which they have handled a ticklish situation."
I “It is gratifying to note that the student committee display-| ed such an interest in the situ-j ation that they spent the whole night Tuesday debating and preparing their report," Dr. Gordon said.
Members of the student committee include Sigma Nu Carlos Martinez, Chi Phi Geoff England. Acacia Bob McClure, Sig Ep Jerry Nace, and Sigma Chi Bill Schaeffer.
When the committee was appointed Monday. Dr. Gordon cautioned the IFC that "it is up to the IFC committee to uncover most of the facts needed for a decision.”
SEVEN 'HELENS OF TROY’ WILL BE SENIOR QUEENS
Steve Robertson, Senior Class president, announced that this year’s seven Helens of Trov will also serve as the seven Senior Queens and will be announced at the Junior-Senior Prom.
The Prom will be held at the lluntlnjjton-Sheraton Hotel In Pasadena, Friday, May 18. Harry James and his band will provide the music and entertainment.

lie added that the Helens, in the past, have not had adequate student recognition.
"They have been announced at the AWS Recognition Assembly and in the El Rodeo. Hut by being announced at the prom, they receive recognition before a great segment of their fellow seniors and juniors, whom they have worked with throughout the year.”
"This is the first time that this will be done,” he added.
Bids to the proni may be purchased from members of the Junior Council, at the door, or at the ticket office on the second floor of the Student Union.

The Baccalaureate will be held in Hancock Auditorium May 27. The Reverend Melvin Wheatley and President Fred D. Fagg Jr. will speak.
A reception will be held after the services at 2:30 p.m. at Town and Gown Foyer. No tickets are needed, and all graduates and their friends are invited.

SC Needs Open Democratic Unit New Boss Says
By The Watchblrd
They say that clothes make the man. TRO—Trojans for Representative Government—has adopted a whole new j wardrobe In an attempt to change the party through new
1 officers and a new program.
Dave Gershenson, the Senator-at-large who has | served as chairman of the Board f of Publications this year, was unanimously clocted as new chairman of TRG at a meeting Tuesday evening.
Completing TRGs new suit of clotbcs are Vice Chairman Ernie Pope, Secretary Sandy Hardin, and Treasurer Barbara H.vsong, all elected unanimously.
New I.lfe for TRO Gershenson declared that TRG is not dead "just because we lost the presidency, vice presidency, Joe Cerrell, or because TNE or the Watchbird say we are.”
The 20-year-old junior who has taken the helm of the only recognized campus political party said thnt the major opposition to TRG is the underground political party TNE.
"Instead of devoting all of our energies to trying to expose Tong men, blasting their policies, and malting accusations, we are going to defeat them by building ourselves,” Gershenson said.
Plans Progress Gershenson emphasized th&t TRG is a new partv. with new leadership, and a clean bill of health for everyone. He said that no reprisals would be taken against those who bucked TRG in the recent elections.
"In the future, however, I'd rather have TRG hecome a tugboat that floats than an ocean liner with holes in it that's likely to fall apart or go down in bad weather.”
The 6-foot merchandising major said that there is a need for an open, democratically run political party—for both ethical and practical reasons.
"We can be a workshop In practical student government,” he explained. “Like any non-professional workshop, we have made may mistakes. The test of our ability is whether we accept these mistakes as final or if we face them squarely and try to correct them.”
Four Krror»
, Gershenson said that TRG has made four important mistakes in the past year:
1. The feeling in the party of being run by an inner circle. Gershenson said that whether this is true or false it prevented free discussion. He plans to combat this by disbanding the executive
DAVE GERSHENSON
.. .new TRG head
and membership committees entirely and having all policy, established by vote of the General Assembly.
2.	Only being active during election time. Gershenson said that unless TRG functions during the entire year it is only fooling itself when it says that it is organized to carry out student government for the good of the university.
3.	Failing to be representative of organizations. Gcrsheiu’r i said that the results of the recent »lections show that TRG failed to find out how the houses they were representing felt about the party's candidates and policies.
Hits Political Disunity
4.	Lack of unity on the non-political level. Gershenson said that the representatives and members in TRG must get to know each other better through a limited social program.
In a final tribute to retiring TRG Chairman Joe Cerrell, Gershenson said that n large part "of the success TRG has had is due to Joe’s leadership and ability to organize.”
"I have a tremendojis personal respect for Joe,” Gershenson said. “He got up and said to hell with tradition, to hell with convention, and did what very few people—especially an independent—could have done. He unified the Row."
