‘ Many of his ideas were dear to the depression,” said Dr.

He pointed out that even with the failure of Sinclair's campaign, California moved toward progressivism under Governor Olsen.

"We formed this party for the half of the student body that doesn't like TRG,” member Hal Stokes, newly elected AMS president, said.
Stokes said the party chose to base itself on group representation to give “more effective leadership” to the organization.

Meiers said the group probably would not hold a general membership drive until after it received approval from the Executive Cabinet, although it would work to enlist groups into the Council of Representatives.

DANN MOSS—By scoring 603 votes in the runoff yesterday, Moss edged out third-place candidate Gil Garcetti by only 30 votes. Moss will be on the ballot tomorrow with Bart Leddel in a second runoff election.
BART LEDDEL — First place in the runoff election went to candidate Bart Ledell. With 899 votes, Leddel led second-place candidate Dan Moss by a margin of 296 votes. Leddel is supported by the TRG party.
UCLA Spurt Will Spur Trojans In Blood Drive Recruiting Efforts
Blood Drive Committeemen sharpened up their sales pitches yesterday following announcement that UCLA had again gone over its quota in the annual crosstown race.
Jim Walsh, chairman of the drive, said he hoped that the UCLA results would serve to make the Trojans “work doubly hai'd in the competition with the southern annex of Berkeley.”
Editor Fills Photo Post
Assistant Daily Trojan Photo Editor Frank L. Kaplan was promoted to the position of photo editor yesterday upon the resignation of Steve Somody.
Daily Trojan Editor Barbara Epstein announced Somody had resigned because of ill health.
The new assistant photo editor is Knute Crawford, who previously served as El Rodeo staff photographer.
Kaplan, who ii a transfer from Los Angeles Valley College, has served as staff photographer and writer for the Daily Trojan. The foreign student from Canada is also a member of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalistic society.
Signups are going on this week from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in front of the Student Union and Doheny Library. Donations will begin next Tuesday and will continue through Friday, Walsh said.
This year’s Blood Drive will be spurred by competitions between the fraternities, sororities, independents and the service organizations, marking the first year that the sororities will compete against each other for awards.
Trophies will be given to the group with the highest percentage of donors and to the group with the most donors.
The point system used in the competition allows one-half point for each person who signs up, providing he makes an effort to donate. It also allows one point for each person who donates.
Walsh said this would allow
points, while the TEPs and Theta Xis trail with five and four points respectively.
In the sorority competition, the Tri-Delts lead with eight, Alpha Phi is second with six and Alpha Chi Omega and Aland are leading after the first;pha Gamma Delta are tied with
a donor to make a possible one-and one-half points for his or her organization.
Challenges have been issued by many of the competing groups, he added. The Squires have challenged the Knights,

The Amazons are leading all other women’s organizations in the competition.
On the Row, Theta Chi leads the fraternities with eight

Total points are Row, 80, Independents, 31.
The second runoff will be held tomorrow in Doheny Park from 9 to 4.
In a spectacular voter turnout for a one-day runoff, Leddel, TRG’s candidate, polled 1899 votes, while Moss tallied : 603. Garcetti, with 573 votes, was nosed out by 30 ballots. More than 2100 students I voted.

Hofstadter To Present Last Talks
Historian Richard Hofstadter, currently delivering the Haynes Foundation lectures on campus, will speak at the Faculty Center at noon today on "American Conservatism Today.”
The Pulitzer Prize-winner j author, who will continue j with the Haynes series tonight at 8 in 229 FH, has been speaking on the general topic of “A n t i-Intellectualism in American Life.”
His talk tonight will deal with "The Fate of the Reformer.” Previous lectures have traced the rise of anti-intellec-tualism and have distinguished intellectualism from intelligence and “expertise.”
Dr. Hofstadter’s concluding talk in the series will be given Friday night at 8, also in 229 FH, and will describe “The Rise of the Expert.”
Loudspeakers have been set up in adjoining classrooms to accommodate the overflow crowds that have attended the Columbia University professor’s lectures.
The Haynes Foundation lectures were inaugurated in 1949 to bring a scholar of national distinction to the campus of a college or university in Southern California annually to discuss contemporary social problems.

Fine Arts Professor Traces Art, Reality
By RICHARD COX
Connecting reality and the impact work has on its viewer has always been a challenging problem in art, Dr. Theresa Z. Fulton, associate professor of fine arts, said yesterday at the Philosophy Forum.
Dr. Fulton, speaking in the third of the Philosophy School’s “Reflections on the Arts” series, traced the means artists have used to reflect this reality.
“I tell my students to think of artists as IBM machines which take sensations from reality, codify them and then translate them into another form,” the Wellesley College graduate said. ‘This is essen- it tially what the artist has al- es~ ways sought to do.”
Typical methods of imitating reality and producing an impact on the viewer in the past have included painting characters so that they seemed to look out from the canvas, she noted, so that turned away, a sense of objectivity and distance would be produced.
Artists of the 15th century believed that sight could be rationalized. They felt that
scene,” wrote Brown, “as it would appear to its minutist detail.” This concept of art was strong until 1900, she pointed out.
In the 16th and 17th centuries codified forms were used to represent certain phases of reality. Artists used such devices as happy faces to convey the impression of happy people, the instructor of art history and criticism said.
“Brown was not inviting the viewer to discuss the design
of his work,” she noted. "Art was a vision of texture and I chine-count of ballots cast.
with 10 votes to his opponent Paul Katz’s 5 votes.
The Elections Committee was again forced to cancel the voting for social studies senator when it was discovered that a candidate's name had been left off the ballot.
The second runoff election will include the social studies senator candidates.
Campus Policeman
To assure all factions that the ballot count agreed with the number of ballots handed to voters, a campus policeman, paid by TRG, was at the polls yesterday to count each person as he picked up his ballots. The TRG count was 2,021, 85 ballots less than were cast! for the presidential race.
Dwight Chapin, TRG party chairman, admitted the possibility that the counter might be as much as 100 voters off because TRG members took over the counting while the policeman was on breaks.
.The Elections Committee still hasn’t released a signature count from the master roll of voters for last week’s balloting. TRG leaders have expressed an interest in comparing that number with the slightly more than 2.600 ma-
for social misconduct.”
The Monday night incident was only being verified when report came in of a second disturbance on the Row yesterday at noon, this one involving the sound truck for candidate Gil Garcetti.
Xo Report Unconfirmed reports were that the sign on the truck was torn down and burned and the truck itself mobbed. Police were said to have been present at the disturbance, but University Division station said no report had been filed.

Wind Croup To Perform
The weekly "Music at Noon” concert series will present a wind ensemble group under the direction of Anthony Desiderio, professor of wind instruments, today at 12:15 in Hancock Auditorium.
The group will play the compositions of Mozart and Richard Strauss in a program that will also include lesser known composers such as James Wat-erson and Henri Zagwijm.
The concert will open with the Scherzo for Woodwind Quartet, Opus 48 by Eugene Bozza. Following the scherzo will be a Clarinet Quartet by Waterson and Trio by Zag-

Political Science Student Receives National Grant

lines and points on a plane in such a way that the result resembled reality.
This was a geometric principal of size diminuation, Dr. Fulton noted.
“Their idea eliminated the concept of art as a mere illusion of reality, and lent prestige and authority to art,” she explained. “It evolved at the beginning of a whole revolution in science and mathematics.”

The student, who holds a 3.9 grade average, became the fifth USC student to receive the honor society’s grant. He was accepted by the three-man national committee after being screened by a campus board of Phi Kappa Phi members.

The Phi Kappa Phi board said the fellowship will only be applicable if used at a university in the United States. He will have to definitely decide against going to Oxford before the award will be valid, Spiegel said.
Spiegel, who is being considered by several other national foundations for fellowship aid, said he would wait until he hears from all the colleges he applied to before making a choice.
“I don’t expect to hear the results from all my applications for another two weeks,” the political science senior said.
Spiegel is also a member of Phi Beta Kappa and is the religious chairman of the B’nai B’rith Hillel Foundation on campus.
