Engineers Set Annual Open House Today
Closed Circuit TV Will Be Featured
You can do everything from hearing your own heart beat to i seeing yourself on TV in the School of Engineering today.
The reason is the annual Engineering Open House being held from 3-9 p.m., which will feature many of the gadgets and tools of the seven departments in the SC School of Engineering.
Visitors will run into the TV hook-up first, as a complete closed-circuit system has been set up at the entrance of the engineering building. Cooking by electronics and a heart microphone to record heart beats are popular demonstrations which have been arranged for the day.
Prospective aviation men will be entertained by the perpetual motion, high velocity wind tunnels and models, cut way jet engines, and sonar impulse models on display. Financiers and engineers of the future will be able to observe at first hand working models of oilwell processes.
“This event is designed to orient everyone in the functioning in the School of Engineering,” explained Engineering President John Wilson. "Friends, wives, and interested bystanders can see for themselves what does go on out here.”
The demonstrations are arranged by the individual departments.

aird Claims Tong Slate jives Her Endorsement
ASSC Presidential Candidate Carl Terzian yesterday countered charges made earlier In the week by his opponent that he was never a member of th Protestant Student Council.
He quoted from a letter signed by the Rev. John E. Burkhart, advisor to the Council, to the effect that he really doesn’t know after all whether or not Terzian did or did not serve on the Council.
In yesterday's Daily Trojan, Terzian's opponent, Greg Taylor, claimed that Burkhart said “I have no recollection whatsoever of his (Terzian) ever attending any of the meetings.” Yesterday, Burkhart wrote Terzian that “I have no personal knowledge" of whether or not Terzian was or was not a member of the council.
Stating that he has no knowledge of Terzian's possible participation on the council prior to this year. Burkhart said he did not become the Council’s advisor until this year.
“I did not state that ‘Carl Terzian was never a member of the Protestant Council.' ’’
In addition, Knut T. Gunderson, Lutheran Student Foundation, pastor, wrote that "Carl Terzian in the past calendar year served on the Protestant Student Council as the appointed representative of the Lutheran Student Association."
Also, Connie Breunninger, president of the Lutheran Association, signed a statement reading that “Terzian served his office on the Council well and submitted several reports to the group.”	______

"Vice Presidential Candidate Mary Laird is on the slate in an attempt to split TRG," Cerrell charged. “They are hoping to twist TRG votes into voting for Miss Jameson.”
Cerrell declared that the administration is "pussy footing on the issue and should take definite action against the activities of the party.
Miss Laird agreed that it "probably is a Tong slate." She explained that they had to support somebody and decided to support her because she is the most qualified candidate.
••No Deals”—Laird “I don't object to their support, but I have made no commitments to them," Miss Laird declared. "I am still going to uphold and support the TRG platform."	,.
Student Body Secretary Sue Corwin challenged Miss Laird, also stating that it is definitely a TNE slate.
"I wonder how TNh and IKIj can both support her and hope she can support both of their platforms on the Senate, said Miss Corwin.

Stan Drury, who was accused by Cerrell of distributing the slates, denied the accusation. He said that he didn't know who was responsible for them.
Denying any affiliation with the Tong, Drury said that it is "fairly obvious that this Is a TNE slate, but I can’t say one way or another."
“Can’t be Tong’»”
An unidentified campus politico pointed out that since the slate endorses TRG candidates for three of the top four offices It is “not logical that it would be a TNE slate."
Presidential hopeful Carl Ter zian said that he doesn't know what group is behind this endorsement of his candidacy. He said that he was surprised to see a slate which includes both TRG and TNE candidates •TUG Ha» Tong fcvlU'

Robertson Sets Senior Agenda
Senior Class President Steve Robertson yesterday outlined the class’ plans for the remainder of the semesters
May 4: Senior Ditch at Ca-brillo Beach. Half-chickens will be the menu of the day.
May 18: Senior Prom at the Huntington-Sheraton Hotel in Pnsadeiia.
May 271 Baccalaureate at 1:8!) p.m. in Hun rock Auditor" lum.
June 8: Senior Breakfast at 10:30 a.m. (Location will bo announced later).
President Robertson said senior announcements are now on sale at the Student Union Gift shop for $8.50 for 25; $6 for 50; ad $11 for 100.
lie said senior fee lilll.t, costing $8, will be on sale at the booth In front of Student Union and in the Bursar's Office all this week.
The bill admits one to the ditch and breakfast and includes admission for two to the prom. It also entitles students to membership In the Alumni Association for one year and a subscription to the Alumni Review.
A "ruling clique” and a “last minute personal smear attack" are but »«me of the charges ASSC presidential candidate Carl Terzian is hurling against his opponent Greg Taylor.
In reply to these charges, Taylor has repeatedly said that he was looking at Terzian's present and active memberships on various councils and committees, but Terzian forces are going Into recordr. of past years to verify qualifications for their candidate.
In regard to the pink circular, “An Open Letter to Trojan Voters," which deals with campus leaders questioning Terzian's qualifications, Taylor emphasized that it was printed only as an answer to Terzian’s "Truth."
Taylor explained the “Open Letter” never once stated that Terzian had not been a member of the groups to which he professed to belong. Taylor stated his whola contention is based upon the fact Terzian claimed “active” membership In these groups.
Taylor cited his opponent’s membership on Protestant Council as one of these questionable “active”, memberships. Taylor has been backed up by council advisor John Burkhart who has said that while Terzian was notified of all the Protestant Council's meetings this year, he hasn’t attended a single meeting, nor has he (Terzian) bothered to inform the Council of his intention to withdraw.
of voters."
The total numher of votes cast yesterday differed slightly from the totals cast on the first day of elections on the two previous years. Last year, there were 1072 votes cast on the first day; and in 1954,	1208
votes were cast.
Lushes Workers
Owsowitz lashed out at candidates and their campaign managers, as well as at members of service groups who were supposed to work at the polls.
"There was a total disregard of the elections rules all day,” he said. “If the rules were followed to the letter, certain candidates should be fined somewhere in the neighborhood of six or seven hundred dollars.”
As regards the poor turnout of polling-place workers, Owsowitz expressed disappointment over the response his commission received from the service groups who had promised to work.
Short of Help
"We just didn’t have enough workers at the polls to handle the volume of voting which we should have,” he said. “It should be added, however, that nearly all who did show up not only w’orked, hut worked well beyond what could he expected of them.”
He gave much credit to Alpha Phi Omega fraternity for
the work they did at the polls.
“Again, APhiO volunteered to help out, though they weren’t originally scheduled to do so,” he said.
In addition to this, he criticized the Senate Elections Investigating Committee for its failure to be present at the polling-place.
Mixed Groups Hold Auditions
Songfest auditions will be held this afternoon for the mixed groups listed below. Groupa are asked to report In the south alley behind Bo-vard 10 minute« before audition time.

High Blood Pressure Cure Near, Doc Says
Science may be a Btep closer to the cure of certain types of high blood pressure, thanks to new experiments by Dr. Yale Joel Katz, associate clinical professor of medicine.
Working with experimental animals, Dr. Katz and associates grafted a section of intestine, where the biood supply Is abundant, onto the kedney to furnish new circulation to that organ. In several weeks new blood vessels grew into the kidney tissue and supplemented the kidney’s normal circulation.
By using dye tracers the doctors confirmed the grafted circulation, since the dye reached the kidney even after the closing of the artery to the kidney.
The results of the experiments, started at the University of Mln-
nesota and continued at SC, have been announced by the Los Angeles County Heart Association, which supported Dr. Katz’ work.
Medical authorities believe that high biood pressure in some patients is caused by the narrowing of this artery to the kidney, since pressure builds up to push the blood through the narrower opening. When the new blood supply to the kidney is established by the graft, normal pressure may be restored.
Dr. Katz was formerly associated with Harry Goldblatt, M.D., who first demonstrated in 1934 the relationship between high blood pressure and restricted circulation to the kidney.
Associates of Dr. Katz in his experiments were Drs. Donald W. Hannon, John F. Alden, and Ivan D. Baronofsky.

Wampus Sale Going Great Diener Says
Chances of Wampus selling out b?fore Friday appear to be very good, if yesterday's sales are any indication of the student body's acceptance, according to Editor Arnold Diener.
"We were more than pleased with the number of copies we sold,” Diener said, "I suggest that anyone who has not purchased his copy, buy it today before they are all gone.”
The number of copies printed this time was cut by almost 1000 in order to economize. Almost half of the magazines were sold the first day.
Wampus salesmen will be in front of the Student Union all day today. They will also be making the rounds of the Grill, Bridge Hall, Founders, and any other nook and cranny on campus.
Although th?re was some question about the effectiveness of the Wampus political ads, since the magazine didn't come out until 10 a.m. yesterday, Die-rver explained that tlie majority at Rowites don't vote until today or tomoiTow.
‘,‘If we can sell Brother 1000 copies before tomorrow night, we will be sure to have another issue in May which will be dedicated to the seniors," Diener I added.
