Plans are now being polished off for Songleaders and a new George Tirebiter to make their first appearances at SC’s initial basketball game Dec. 5 at the Pan Pacific
Auditorium.
The Trojan Spirit Commission, currently holding weekly meetings, is working out the | "	*
detailed procedure of qualifications for both the selection of Tirebiter and the Songleaders which were mandated by the student body at last spring’s A-SSC election.
ASSC President Scott Fitz-Randolph said yesterday that the plan will be given to the Senate for approval sometime in the near future. The plans would then go to President Norman Topping for executive action.
Tentative Plans
If the Songleader plan is approved, a school similar to the yell leader school would be .set up.
The Trojan Spirit Commission has also drawn up a list of responsibilities for the owner of a possible George Tirebiter, along with qualifications for the dog.
The owner must accept complete financial responsibility for the dog in relation to insurance, protection, to and. from the games, guarding the dog during
