The Mr. and Miss Trojanality contests also helped boost the Troy Chest total to approximately $2,300 of the $4,000 goal as donors “voted” two early leaders back into the top positions — Pi Beta Phi can-
Red Tape' Eliminates 15 Hopefuls
By DAN SMITH
Senate Reporter
Thirteen candidates for senatorial positions and one each for president and vice president of biological sciences were taken off the ballot by technicalities pointed out by their opponents yesterday.
On the heels of the eliminations, Election Commissioner John Moyer charged that can didates who were trying to eliminate opposition by finding discrepancies in field of study constitutions displayed lack of leadership abilities.
Legislation Urged Moyer urged the ASSC Sen ate to re-evaluate present field constitutions and to provide more uniform laws. He asked eliminated candidates to seek legislation that would prohibit political maneuvering.
Moyer also warned candidates that they must bring their campaign materials to his office, 301a SU, tomorrow, Thursday and Friday between 1 and 4 p.m. The Election Committee will examine the mate rial and stamp the items they approve.
Despite the confusion caused by conflicting requirements, Judith Dyer AWS vice president candidate, managed to slip back into the race by proving that an error had been made in checking her grade average, Moyer said.
Writes Letter She backed the charges with a letter signed by Dr. Don.'.ld E. Wilson, the education council's faculty adviser, indicating that candidates Eddie Lee Dawes, Diane Harris, John D. Jacobson, Sharon Kaus, Jane Lowe, Susie Mackaig and Enid Waxman had not served on the council.
David Goldberg, candidate for biological sciences senator, also knocked-off his competition with a protest claiming they were not members of the field council. He produced a list of council members signed by Dr. Jay M. Savage, assistant head of biolc gicai sciences Candicates eliminated were Richard Luros, for presiden* Steve Klevens, vice president; and Dave Barthold. Garry Rodrigue. Steve Schwartz and Russell Hicks, ^sena lor.
didate Mike Gless and Alpha Tau Omega’s Bonnie Rowland.
“All the candidates are very close and voting still hasn’t been heavy enough for any one of them to have the contests sewed up yet,” drive co-chair-man Marcia Northrop reported.
Pie throwing will continue today in Alumni Park in front of Doheny Library with the same targets plus some “special volunteers” whose appearances will be spontaneous, Miss Northrop said.
Included in today’s receiving line will be the four ASSC presidential candidates—Representation Party President Mike Robinson from 10 to noon; Junior Class President Dann Moss from 10 to 11; yell leader Bart Leddel from 11:50 to noon; and AMS President Gil Garcetti from 10 to 10:15.
Another 60 pies have been donated by Helms Bakeries for today’s activities.
“They’re really beautiful meringues,” Miss Northrop said. “They’ll be worth what ever is paid for them.”
The pie throw proceeds will all go into the drive’s general fund, which goes to 15 charities and projects. Campus groups and activities supported by the once-a-year donations include the YWCA and the ASSC Christmas Project.
Drive Chairman Ken Payne appealed to students to “dig deep” during the remaining two days of the drive.
“This is the only charity drive we have on campus all year and it is entirely student supported,” Payne said. “Twenty-five cents from every student on the campus would put us over our goal.”
Check donations to the drive, which started last week, may be made at the Special Events Office, 320 SU, in care of USC Troy Chest.
The drive was extended three days into this week after rains last week delayed the start of the Trojanality contests and the pie throws.
Opera Group Will Present Handel Work
Excerpts from “Juliet Caesar,” a baroque opera by G. F. Handel, will be performed by the USC Symphony and Opera Chorus tonight at 8:30 in Bovard Auditorium.

Bill, Statute To Undergo Cabinet Test
The ASSC Executive Cabinet will examine tonight at 7 two pieces of legislation passed by the Senate last week, Hugh Helm, ASSC president, said yesterday.
They are a bill establishing a regulatory system guaranteeing public representation at all meetings under ASSC jurisdictions and a statute reorganizing the administrative committee branch of the cabinet.
Helm indicated that the public meeting bill might not pass the cabinet on the grounds that it does not properly define terms, particularly the difference between executive and public sessions.
Helm expected the committee reorganization statute to be approved with little difficulty. If it is, the committee system will be streamlined by the elimination of four committees and several adminis- torio
Instruct, Entertain
They have been planned to give an instructive and entertaining presentation of the art form for both professionals and laymen.
Tickets for the program will be available at the Bovard box office for $1 general admission and 50 cents for students.
Dr. Ducloux, former assistant to the late Arturo Toscanini and a guest conductor of his NBC Symphony, has worked with leaders in all fields of music and is himself an au-j thority in the field.
English Adaptations He has written English adaptations for such operas as “Othello’' and “Don Carlos” and has had years of experience as a symphony conductor and opera director.
He was the first foreigner to conduct Smetana’s “Bartered Bride’’ at the Prague National Opera and has been a guest conductor throughout Europe.
The English translation of the Handel libretto for tonight’s performance was made by conductor Beer.
Soloists Perform
Soloists in the performance will be Judy Natress as Cleopatra, Marilyn Kates as Cornelia, Orville White as Julius Caesar and Richard Riffel as Sextus. French Tickner will be narrator.
The performance will be the third in the Baroque series that opened two weeks ago with a presentation of Handel’s “Acis and Galatea” featuring Los Angeles soloists Marilyn Horne and Mami Nixon.
The second concert last Sunday featured the Chamber Orchestra and Chorus performing the works of five Baroque composers, highlighted by presentation of Carissimiss ora-Jephthah,” led by con-
trative heads.

Eyewitnesses to Conflicts Speak for Tragic Angola'
The Portuguese colony of Angola has become one of the most tragic and discontented areas of contemporary Africa, two eyewitnesses to recent conflicts in the area said yesterday.
The Rev. Malcolm McVeigh and Fred Brancel, American missionaries who served in Angola for several years prior to the outbreak of violence last spring, reported at a Westminister Foundation-sponsored lecture that the revolt and sup-
abuses by officials that ranged from forced labor gangs to impressment of women and children as workers, all of which they personally witnessed.
The Angolese situation ties in with the general trend of African nationalism except that Portugal, of all colonial powers, is following a singular policy of “Angola is Portugal,” the Rev. Mr. McVeigh said.
The truth about the situation in Angola must be spread.

The inhuman activities of the Portuguese government, the number of deaths on both sides, the plight of 200,000 Angolese refugees in the Congo and the continued problem of Angolese freedom deserve the attention of the American people, the Rev. Mr. McVeigh claimed.
He pointed out that Portugal refused to admit United Nations observers to Angola to report on the conflict until after the reaction had set in, and has refused to recognize the legalty of a UN censure by a vote of SO to2.
