Dwight D. Eisenhower will helicopter into Exposition Park this morning at 11:45 to the tune of the SC Pep Band, a battery of secret service men and waiting California Republican candidates.
The President will land In a large marine helicopter on a chained-off parking lot opposite the east end of the Coliseum at Menlo Ave. and 39th PI. Arrangements have been made for a special SC student section to be roped off on a banked lawn at the Menlo end of the Coliseum.
Robert Finch, chairman of the Los Angeles County Republican Committee and a graduate of the SC Law School, in making final arrangements Friday, said that Eisenhower might be able to say a few words; but such a large area has to be roped off that it will be almost impossible for him to say anything.
“We don’t want to commit him and then disappoint the students,” Finch said, explaining that it would be difficult to set up a laud speaker system which would cover
the entire area.
He added that the large cleared area was needed to accommodate two large helicopters. The second copter will carry the official White House staff.
The Columbine will arrive in Los Angeles at International Airport at 11:30 a.m. today. Ike, without any ceremony or press coverage, will immediately step into the waiting helicopter and fly into Exposition Park.
There he will be greeted by a group of dignitaries which will include Los Angeles Mayor Norris Poulson, Governor Goodwin Knight and Sen. William F. Knowland, along with the Los Angeles and nation’s press.
Finch emphasized that this would not be a Republican rally because of an agreement with the Sixth Agricultural District for the use of the Exposition facilities.
The President’s cavalcade will pull out of the lot north of Menlo Ave. to Exposition Blvd., and then east on Exposition into Los Angeles and the Statler Hotel.
John Green, director of the Trojan Band, will set up the Pep Band at the corner of Menlo Ave. and Leighton Ave. Yell King Barney Rosenzweig will lead cheers. Indications were that Ike might “respond to a group of enthusiastic students.”
Tonight the President will kick off his campaign for the Republican candidate at a Shrine Auditorium rally with a 12 state television broadcast from 8:30 to 9.
Arrangements are being made for SC signs and banners to be put up along the special Coliseum section to reserve it for the students. The annonuncement- of the arrival was made at Saturday’s Homecoming game.

No Stranger A junior, working for the bachelor of music degree, Miss Bliss said, “I never considered any college but SC, but to this day I don’t know why when I came here I signed for opera."
However, she was no stranger to the singing world before her arrival on the Trojan campus. She was already a veteran of two summers at the Idyllwild School of Music and Arts near Palm Springs. She appeared there in several operettas including “Annie Laurie,” ''Heidi” and “Moby Dick.”
