Queen Hopefuls To Get Decision At Annual Show
By ALAN BINE Daily Trojan City Editor
Queen Helen of Troy will be crowned during a regal ceremony tonight at Trolios, USC’s Homecoming variety show, beginning at 7:30 in Bovard Auditor-l ium.
Helen was chosen last night during a dinner at the Beverly Hilton Hotel which followed more than two weeks of exhaustive judging sessions. She and the general student body, however, will have to wait until this evening when Athletic Director Jess Hill asks the “real’' Helen to stand up, to learn the identity of the new campus queen.
The five finalists going after the coveted title are Kappa Kappa Gamma Joyce Bowman. Alpha Delta Pis Sheri Hanson and Roberta Salberg, Pi Beta Phi Melinda Macrate and Kappa Alpha Theta Susan Smith.
Helen and her court will appear on Steve Allen’s show tomorrow night: reign over Troyland, Homecoming carnival. Friday; and be honored at the USC-Stan-ford football game Saturday
Trolios festivities, which kick off Homecoming Week, will be the best ever staged, according to the show’s officials.
“For the past few years there has been a relative dearth of material for the show, but this year is a definite exception,” Jerry Murphy, Trolios chairman, believes.
Brenda Broz, co-chairman of Trolios, claims any of this year’s entrants could have won the show last fall.
Eleven groups in seven song and dance numbers survived last week’s preliminary auditions to qualify for tonight’s show.
Large division hopefuls are Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Sigma, “Western Side Story;” Birnkrant Residence Hall, “Frivolous Football;” Delta Gamma and Phi Kappa Tau. “Political Satire;” and Alpha Delta Pi and Sigma Phi Epsilon, “Everything’s Coming Up Roses.”
Alpha Chi Omega and Theta Chi, “You Can’t Keep a Secret on the Row;” Zeta Beta Tau, “Nancy Whiskey;” and Alpha Phi, “College Men?” are small division competitors.
A faculty skit and entertainment from the Kinsmen will be provided in addition to the seven student acts. The Kinsmen, Dean Holly, Dan Redden and former football player Dave Morgan, are currently appearing at the Thunder-Bug nightclub.
KMPC disc jockey Gary Owens will emcee the affair.
Tickets are still on sale for $1 at a booth adjacent to the Student Union. They will also be sold at the door.
SEASONAL SIGN
Daily Trojan,
Times, Both Mak Mistaks
Contrary to popular belief, the Daily Trojan isn't the only paper to make mistakes.
According to a recent article in the Reader’s Digest, even the country’s most honored paper, the New York Times, flubs now and then.
The mind rebels at the thought that that oft-quoted example of excellent writing and fine editing could contain any misuse of the English language.
Yet the Times admits that enough errors have occurred in the paper to fill at least two books, both of them compiled by their assistant managing editor, Theodore Bernstein. Extracts from the second book. “More Language That Needs Watching,” are published in the November

A recent grant of $870,000 will help Dr. Max Harry Weil, associate professor of medicine, complete a study on shock.
The grant was made by the United States Public Health Service. Research is to be extended over the next five years.
Dr. Weil began his study of the causes, nature and handling of shock two years ago. The John A. Hartford Foundation of New York then granted him $423,376. On the basis of his research for the Hartford Foundation, Dr. Weil applied to the Health Service for additional funds last spring.
A team of investigators from the National Institute of Health visited the shock
Five-Weeks May Cause Cinch Pains
Scholastic Adviser Marcel Bolomet urges students not to succumb to the current epidemic of “cinch notice slump.” that dreaded disease brought about by the recent scourge of five-week exams.
Bolomet, the mentor of the academically tormented, heads all counseling for students receiving “cinch" notices, those on academic probation and those academically disqualified.
Located in 226 SU, he encourages students to drop by or make an appointment. “If you didn’t get the kind of results you wanted from your tests, we can talk it over, and in most cases an improvement can be made.” he said.
After the grueling “readjustment period” of recovering from disappointing grades, the adviser helps students to get back on an even keel again.
A lecturer in French, Professor Bolomet says he himself has gone through ah the problems students face. He also encounters a dose of dilemmas daily in his numerous French classes.
The adviser feels that “by catching and correcting any difficulties now, students will have a much better chance to improve their grades and to avoid flunking out at the end of the semester.”
ward operated by USC’s i School of Medicine at the Los j Angeles County General Hospital and talked with Dr. Weil. He told the investigators the additional money was needed to use a computer to record the blood pressure, pulse rate and temperature of patients. The computer would also make other physiological observations of patients.
USC medical scientists are trying to learn from their research what causes the development and progress of shock. Because their blood circulation is below normal, patients in shock receive insufficient oxygen and remain on the verge of death. More than a thousand persons die every year at the County Hospital following protracted shock.
The investigators reported | to the Health Service on the USC project, and the Health Service examined the project : and announced the award.
; which is one of the largest grants ever received by the USC School of Medicine.
By February, 1964 an elec-i tronic computer will be mak-i ing analyses of the critically ill in shock at General Hospi-jtal.
Doctors believe this will be I the first bedside link of a
computer to a patient in medical history.
At present, laboratory technicians make extensive blood and metabolic tests once every four hours. With the computer. this information will be available in seconds. The present system makes it impossible to monitor the patient's condition up to the minute.
Sensors will be attached to the person's body and feed information to the computer. The computer will examine this information and automatically present a graphic picture of the patient's condition. Dr. Weil said.
Howard Carrington, associate director of L'SC’s Engineering Center, and Dr. Leonard Rosoff of the Medical School will help Dr. Weil with the project.
Data accumulated in the ward will be available sooner to both attending physicians and researchers. The equipment will consist of an IBM computer. 1311 disc file and a 1700 series analog-digital conversion unit. An output printer will type reports on the patient's condition at bedside. In addition, the computer will produce a danger signal if the patient’s condition becomes serious.
T House to Sponsor Bridge Tournament
An all-university bridge tournament sponsored by the International Students House has been set for Sunday. Nov. 17. Mel Mandel. tourney director, announced recently.
Members of the Cultural Affairs Committee of the International Students House are currently registering teams for the tourney at the various living groups and in the Grill.
Mustanha Hijaoury. co-director of public relations at the International Students House, expects a good turnout of both American and foreign students.
“This is another cultural activity which we hold for American and foreign students to get a chance to meet each other.” he said.
The bridge tourney will be judged on duplicate competition. according to Mandel.
“Each team will play the
same actual hands as other competitors so that the scoring will provide a valid comparison of bidding and playing techniques,” he added.
Fred Roberts of the American Contract Bridge League will supervise playing and taliy results, due to the complexities of directing and scoring a duplicate bridge tournament.
Duplicate trophies will be awarded to both members of the first, second and third place teams.
The tournament, to be held in the upstairs Commons Cafeteria, is open to both undergraduate and graduate students. An entry fee of $1 per team is required.
Mandel pointed out that if the tournament is successful, it may become an annual or semi-annual event.
