SPECIAL REPORT
Dark Horse Is Product Of USC Political Luck
(Editor’s Note: This is the final article in a series dealing with ASSC elections of the last five
years.)
By GREG McANDREWS
Students were prepared to accept John Betinis after the election of Bart Leddel and Ken Del Conte. It is hoped this series has revealed the causes for the election of the darkest horse in USC political history.
Without the action of the previous Elections Commission, however, Betinis never wfould have withstood the power of the Row.
He never could have defeated the Row vote on the same platform that had been defeated twice in recent years and on a campaign budget of $11.47.
llis opponents defeated themselves.
First to enter the campaign was Gordon Strachan. who expressed alarm at “the drift of student government towards weak, ineffective, faction-dominated petty politics.”
Six More
Bob Oates, second presidential hopeful, entered the race “to break the hold of ‘machine’ politics in student government.” Oates was a non-Greek who definitely had no organized backing.
Concern over student indifference to the government was expressed by Roger Rosendahl, the third candidate. He pledged to raise the level of student government by expanding its efforts in cultural and academic fields.
Other candidates, Harry Arnold, Chuck Williams and Roderigo Melendez, each in turn pledged to improve student government if elected.
But the bombshell hit on March 3 when medical student John Betinis announced his intention to run. Unlike his predecessors who denounced student government, Betinis was extremely serious.
Deadly Serious
In previous elections the “serious” candidates dismissed malcontents as “joke” candidates. It was soon apparent that Betinis was deadly serious, even if he was not going to spend much time campaigning.
Rosendahl’s faith that student government could be effective prompted Betinis to call his opponent “immature and ineffectual.” Oates called Betinis’ plan reminiscent of a child “who kicks his toy because it won’t run.”
1 Strachan joined in the fracas, saying, “the cure for a sick person is not a bullet through the head — as a medical student, Betinis should know that. Betinis’ crackpot idea only clarifies his ignorance of the need and purpose for student government on our campus.”
Record Vote
On election day Strachan pulled 1,490 votes, Rosendahl 1,135 and Betinis 857. The other candidates received a scattering of votes. With Stra-chan’s and Rosendahl’s political parties working around the clock persuading students to vote, the vote total soared to more than 4,000. Strachan and Rosendahl had waged expensive campaigns, too expensive.
Rosendahl was disqualified by the Election Board of Inquiry. Betinis was given new life since he would face Strachan in the runoff.
But when Strachan, too, faced disqualification, the Election Board invalidated the election and reinstated Rosendahl, thus eliminating Betinis again.
When Betinis lodged a formal protest, the board decided to open the election to write-in candidates.
Betinis Wins
The results of the election seemed to justify Betinis’ faith in the students, for he and Strachan made the runoffs. On May 14, John Betinis was overwhelmingly elected, 1,498 to 906.
Apparently the Row had grown tired of political runoffs. Previously they had resulted in the original leader winning in the later elections. Maybe even the Row had grown tired of politicians

SONGFEST
Guest Conductor Chosen
CHORALE DIRECTOR—Musician Roger Wagner, famous for his world-traveling Roger Wagner Chorale, will conduct Songfest at the bowl the night of May 15.
Roger Wagner, director and founder of the Roger Wagner Chorale, will be guest conductor of Songfest 1965, in the Hollywood Bowl May 15.
Wagner is largely responsible for the creation of a permanent resident chorale and orchestra in Los Angeles.
He has also been appointed music director of the Southern California Choral Music
Association.
Wagner formed the Los Angeles Master Chorale and the Sinfoma Orchestra of Loe
Angeles. They will perform a full season of major choral works with orchestra and soloists each year in the Music Center.
The Songfest guest conductor has composed over 100 published works, and composed and conducted musical scores for many television shows and motion pictures.
In 1945 Wagner was chosen supervisor of youth choruses for the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Music. With a group of 12 voices ae his
nucleus, Wagner trained 50 selected voices within three years to make a professional debut as the Roger Wagner Chorale.
The group was first engaged by Franz Waxman for performances of Henegger’s “Joan of Arc” at the Los Angeles Music Festival. Appearances at the Philharmonic Auditorium, Hollywood Bowl and numerous radio broadcasts followed.
The chorale has mad* nine concert tours of the Umted States.
In 1964 it was sent by the State Department on a 10-week tour of the Central America and Jamaica area.
Tickets for Songfest are still available in the university ticket office, 209 Student Union. Prices run from $3.50 for box seats to $2.50 and $2 for reserved seats.
Dr. Thomas Clements, retired professor of geology, will serve as host. This year’s production is dedicated to Dr. Rufus von KieinSmid, the chancellor of the university.
