Brandt will run
University of Southern California
for affairs veep DAILY ;8 TROJAN
Daniel Brandt, a junior in sociology. has announced his candidacy for vice-president of university affairs. He is running on a liberal, antifraternity platform.
Last year he was vice-president of Theta Xi and Inter-Fraternity Council representative.
“I realized that 1 was degenerating so J provoked the fraternity into expelling me,” he said. He did this by moving out of the house and writing a letter to the Daily Trojan as a disillusioned former Greek.

“Fraternities sap all individuality out of people.” he said' in an inter-view. “They're a giant beer-drinking
com petition."
Brandt has made the Dean s List and is active in the tutorial program and Students for a Democratic Society. Because he has returned his draft card to the Justice Department, he says, “Inevitably I’ll go to jail. However the possibility that I will be convicted and sentenced for draft resistance before June, 1969 is very slight."
If elected. Brandt would like to:
1. Form a committee of independ-
ents to “counter-educate” incoming students during Orientation Week;
2.	Encourage sympathetic faculty members to form support groups for student political organizations;
3.	Work for an ASSC condemnation of the Selective Service System and' establish a counseling service for evaders and resisters:
4.	Propagate war awareness on campus;
5.	Challenge and ultimately change the speakers policy, providing free speech areas;
6.	Work for student interests in all cases where they conflict with administration interests. “I imagine there are thousands of things that would come up.”
Regarding Orientation Week, Brandt says. “The fraternities present an impressive spiel. The freshman doesn’t get the other side of it and gets pushed into fraternity life without thinking about it. ‘Rush’ is just that.”
He wants to have a referendum in next year's elections condemning the Selective Service System.
To promote war awareness, he will “bring the war on campus" with programs and speeches.
“I want to change the university's image from money-fraternities-football to an open exchange of ideas.” he said.
His objection to the present speakers policy is that 10 days notice must be given for a nonstudent speaker, along with an outline of his political beliefs.
He favors dorm visitation “under any conditions the students want, to make the dorm’s atmosphere coru'iai, bearable.
“I picture my candidacy as similar to the Peace and Freedom Party —that is, an alternative for frustrated voters," Brandt said. “I'm after the liberal vote.
“Underclassmen are generally more liberal and less apathetic. If they would' mobilize for me. it might be an interesting race.”

“The entertainers will be paid for hour-long performances which will be scheduled during the week at lunch hours, late afternoons and evenings.”

UCLA CAME FINAL PERFORMANCE
Pompon girls to get last kicks
By MELINDA TONKS Assistant Night Editor
The end of basketball season will come with the UCLA game tomorrow night, but USC’s seven pompon girls don’t feel its the end of the world
for them.
To finish out the year, they plan to go to baseball games and to swimming and track meets. They will be in uniform but won’t be performing.
All the girls are enthusiastic about performing during football season.
“I think it would be a fun experience to be a pompon girl at a football game, but it will have to be what the student body wants.” Charlene Gonzales said.
Penny Ward emphasized that someone should start a campaign to have students vote on whether or not they want the girls at games.
But with football season far in the future, the girls are concentrating mainly on the upcoming basketball game.
They have been working on their routines which will include pompon drills to “Fight On!,” “Cardinal and Gold.” “Carry On” and “Driver,” and jazz routines to “Downtown” and “Sunny Side Up.”
“The second game with UCLA will draw the largest number of friendly fans,” Celeste Fremon said. “At the first game, there were very few USC rooters compared with those for UCLA.” “I wasn’t scared the first time I performed at UCLA since I didn’t know too many people there, but at other games, since I knew people, T got nervous,” Susan Wright said.
Throughout the season, the girls have been practicing two or three times a week for three hours at a time.
“Fortunately, there are no personality conflicts,” Miss Ward said. “We take each other’s constructive criticism very well.”
Individual reactions to being the first USC pompon girls and to the audience reception brought out the feeling that more students should support their basketball team.
“I felt we were accepted pretty well except for one game,” Suzanne Knolle said. “I’m really pleased and it was a lot of fun.”
“In the beginning, the crowd was more receptive because of our newness,” Miss Ward stated. “Now that the newness has worn off, they are getting more critical. But they laugh with us when we goof up.”
“We’re getting much better and I'm glad of it,” Claudia Pawlan said. “But I feel that not enough people are supporting the team and we have a winning team to support.
“At the Cal game, we were all charged up, like it was a football game with UCLA. But it's so empty at the Sports Arena. I’d really like to see more people there,” Miss Pawlan said.
“Being a pompon girl really made me feel good,” Linda Hauf said. “I feel really bad when we make a mistake. But it’s important that we do laugh at our mistakes.
“And working as a pompon girl has given me a keen interest in all sports.”
to implement the goals of the newly adopted constitution." Miss Scott said.
“This would entail organizing the new Council of Presidents into an efficient communicating unit within the AWS structure as well as putting into action proposals set forth by the new Executive Cabinet,” she said.
The Council of Presidents is made up of presidents of the women's clubs and organizations on campus. It is a communications council.
The Executive Cabinet is made up of the AWS presia'ent, vice-president, treasurer, secretary and representatives of the Women’s Halls Association. Women's Judicial and Pan-hellenic.
Miss Scott is iioping that membership and projects will be improved next year.
“If we can get the new constitution working, we’ll be getting AWS working. Right now, though, we’re lacking a common goal."
Miss Scott outlined her campaign platform as follows:
1.	To implement the goals of the newly adopted AWS Constitution;
2.	To integrate AWS into the newly constituted ASSC government structure;
3.	To institute a leadership training program for underclass women students in the hopes of supplying better trained, more effective student leaders.
Miss Scott is presently serving as AWS treasurer and student adviser for Troeds. She has also been a member of Amazons and Spurs as well as serving as house manager for her sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta.
Miss Scott has served on the Associate Cabinet and Alumni Tea Committee.
