VOL. LIX
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1968
NO. 39
By MARK VASCHE Assistant City Editor
The varsity scholars from USC, playing a brilliant and consistent match, fought off a late splurge by the opposition to defeat Dartmouth College. 290 to 220, for their fifth and final win on the GE College Bowl Sunday evening.
As home viewers watched the video-taped show, which was delayed on the West Coast by NBC’s coverage of President Johnson’s speech. Robert Earle, host of the show, retired the USC squad — Gary Cohen. Barclay Edmundson. Marcia Hastie. and Richard Hilton—as undefeated champions.
The USC team, the 24th group in the nine-vear history of fhe program to ^ain such an honor, will be honored at an ASSC-sponsored reception tonight at 7:30 p.m. in Town and Gown Foyer.
By virtue of their five victories on the show, the local brain trust carried home $19,500 in scholarship grants, which were donated by General Electric. Seventeen Magazine and Gimbel’s Department Store.
On Thursday. President Norman Topping will meet with the team to discuss in what areas the grants should be used.
He will also announce that members of the Board of Trustees have p 1 e d g ed themselves to personally match, dollar-for-dollar, the money won on the show.
In the Dartmouth match, USC started strong and soon led 50 to minus 10. At the half, USC had a 175 to 55 advantage.
Tfte second half was controlled by USC tmtil late in the period, when
Dartmouth began its unsuccessful comeback attempt.
The victory gave the Trojan scholars a perfect five wins and no losses record. Previously the squad had defeated Furman University, 185 to 170; City College of New York. 295 to 260; St. John's University of Minnesota. 310 to 145. and Syracuse University. 325 to 50.
Dr. James McBath. chairman of the Spcech Department and coach of th® team, said the key to thf Sunday success was the rapid start.
“Dartmouth seemed nuite :;hnken up by our fast start. When they fi-nallv caught on, it was just a matter of USC holding on to its tremendous lead.” he said.
He said, however, that Dartmouth aopeared to be the strongest opposition USC had encountered in its five appearances on the show.
McBath said the students on the squad ranked Dartmouth number one, followe d by Furman. CCNY. St. John's, and Syracuse, in order of difficulty.
“In fact, the Dartmouth squad had defeated us in the dress rehearsal.” he said.
“We knew how good they were. We just got the group together in the half hour between the dress rehearsal and the final game, and reminded them what they knew and reminded them that they were defending champions.
“We talked about strategy. made a slight alteration or two. patted them on the back and told them to win the match for USC. They did," McBath recalled.

April Fools joke? Elections delayed
By ANDY MILLER SoCal Editor
Somebody forgot to tell the voters that ihe ASSC elections are just an April Fool's joke.
At least they were yesterday.
Since the ballots weren't printed in time, the ASSC elections have been set ahead to today and tomorrow.
The elections were scheduled to begin yesterday at 9 a.m., but the ballots weren't ready until 2:15 p.m.
Ray Cochard, elections commissioner, said he had signed a contract with Cal Tab Card, Inc. to deliver the ballots Friday.
The delay was partially due to the last minute addition to the ballots of the names of Pete Salvatori and Joe La Torre. They had been disqualified and were later reinstated in the election.
But Cochard said the company was largely at fault for not making the plates for printing until yesterday morning, after they had promised to print the ballots over the weekend.
Cochard hounded the company all yesterday morning, but finally had to postpone the voting.
Six polling places will be open
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow. Students will be able to vote in front of Bovard Auditorium, Founders Hall, in tlie park between the dorms, at the Engineering building, at the I-House on the corner of 28th and University, and in the Medical School.
The delay could actually be a blessing in disguise, if yesterday’s rain storm blows over and allows students voting ease.
Bill Mauk and Gary Rafferty took advantage of the additional day to continue campaigning.
Ralph Lippman said he will “very probably" appeal the election, hoping to have it postponed until after vacation because he was not informed of yesterday’s delay.
“I feel that the postponement of the election will definitely affect my campaign because I was not notified,” Lippman said. “Therefore I didn't have an opportunity to mobilize my people and have them vote today and tomorrow."
Mauk's supporters came out with a list of student leaders urging his election. Mauk called for more campaigning on the issues. Rafferty said the issues had been discussed, and Lippman felt that no issues were dis-
Its official—Sigma Chi now in good standing
Sigma Chi fraternity was recognized as a member in good standing of the university by the Inter-Fraternity Council Judicial in a decision released last week.
The decision had been delayed since February. 1967, when Sigma Chi was charged by the IFC Judicial with violations of state and university hazing codes. The national fraternity requested the delay to implement its own corrective measures.
The Judicial, agreeing with the national, stated that the chapter has made significant progress in returning to an even keel.
The decision also stated that whether the attitude of all the members of the house has changed because they have recognized and accepted their problems is hard to determine.
“The Judicial believes the change to have been affected by interested alumni and arbitrary dominance of the resident advisor rather than attitude change,” the decision read.
Wayne Gertmanian. Sigma Chi resident advisor, said that he tended
1
to disagree with this one minor point.
“This is a correct evaluation of the men who have left,” he said. “Today we have a chapter of 86 men, 69 of whom have joined since September.
“There is a totally new attitude in the house, which is not maintained by my presence in the house.” Otherwise, Gertmanian said, “The report is sound and the evaluations are extremely accurate.”
Gertmanian said that the national was delighted with the progress of the chapter, and that the change in Sigma Chi was a good sign for the whole Greek systemA
He termed suggestions made by the IFC Judicial as worthwhile, and said that from what he understood, the men will make every effort to follow them.
“The decision shows a great deal of thought and hard work,” Gertmanian said. “I know it must represent hundreds of hours of work on the part of the Judicial. For that, we are very grateful.”
cussed and the candidates only alluded to some of them.
Included in the list of Mauk supporters were Norm Wilky, vice-president of student activities; Bob Lutz, vice-president of university affairs; Karen Mazepink, AWS president; Fred Minnes, MHA president; Jane Lindenthal, WHA president; Mark Meador, ASSC treasurer; Bill Pre-zant, independent representative; AI Levine, senior class president; Shelley Linderman, senior class representative; Ron Jacobson, sophomore class representative, and Norm Barker, IFC president.
The Executive Committee of the Trojan Young Democrats also passed a unanimous resolution also in support of Mauk.
“I wish candidates would start discussing the issues and the needs on campus and recognize .the fact that they are going to be investing §4.50 per semester into the ASSC next year,” Mauk said.
“If students seriously believe that the ASSC should be offering them more, I encourage them to read all the platforms and vote.
“I think the issues have been handled pretty well so far,” Rafferty said. “Everyone is campaigning on their platform.”
“All we have talked about is the creation of Boy Scout troops and the creation of power in a system that already has the characteristics of having no power,” Lippman said.
Cochard said the results would be tabulated Wednesday afternoon and evening. They will be announced in Thursday’s Daily Trojan.
Runoffs will be held Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the results out by 6 p.m. Friday.

Are the ASSC elections for real?
NO PROBLEMS IN DORMS
Visitation debut a success
By ROGER SMITH
Visitation had its first test last weekend and apparently emerged unscathed.
Dean of Students Paul Bloland told the Daily Trojan yesterday that he had no reports of problems over the weekend.
“If there have been any problems, I will hear about them,” Bloland said. “Thus far, however, I haven’t had any reaction, either pro or con.”
Visitation, which was approved by President Norman Topping last week, allows women to visit male dorm residents during specified hours
Hippies help minimize loss on Jefferson Airplane show
Thanks to a last minute drive by members of the ASSC Entertainment Committee, which included putting an ad in the Free Press and distributing handbills to hippies on Sunset Boulevard, the Jefferson Airplane concert held on campus last Saturday night lost only $3,400.
Jack Reynolds, temporary chairman of the Entertainment Committee, said that the committee was forced to solicit the attendance of the outside community or else face a huge loss. He estimated that the concert grossed $5,000 and cost about $8,400.
Reynolds said that the Entertainment Committee concluded that the campus was not ready to support concerts on its own. Reynolds blamed the committee on its own inexperience in handling concerts for the low student turnout.
He also called Bovard Auditorium “the all-time bad place to put on entertainment.” Reynolds expressed hope that the committee will improve with each concert in getting both better student attendance and better quality entertainment. A concert with Glenn Yarborough is scheduled for April 24.
on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Fred Minnes, Men’s Housing Association president, described the initial weekend of visitation as “a definite success.”
“From all indications, everything went fine,” Minnes said.
Tabulations from David X. Marks Hall, David X. Marks Tower. Trojan Hall and Town and Gown Hall indicated that a number of residents took advantage of visitation privileges.
Thirty-two women visited Marks Tower over the weekend. Town and Gown hosted 25, Trojan Hall hosted
19	and Marks Hall had 13 women visitors.
Figures from Stonier and Touton, the other two men’s residence halls, were not available yesterday.
Three head residents and a student duty officer all indicated that visitation was a major success.
“We had absolutely no problems," Don Garner, head resident at Marks Tower, said. “The fellows enjoyed the weekend, and I’m sure they are looking forward to increased hours of visitation next semester.”
Doug Bissel, student duty officer at Town and Gown, noted that the number visiting his dorm was a “good number.”
“Everything went very well; absolutely no problems. If this continues, the visitation program just has to expand. I’ve had nothing but positive reactions to it,” he said.
Don Kiloh, head resident at Troian Hall, said visitation “demonstrat--V
ed that the students are capable of being mature and are capable of handling themselves properly.”
Kiloh also reported no problems and noted that the weekend program “went extremely well.”
Marks Hall head resident Bob Partridge called visitation “a maturing factor for stud-ents” and indicated that visitation was a success as far as he was concerned.
Dean Bloland said, “If this program proves itself, and if the students indicate they have the proper degree of responsibility, I see no reason why future visitation proposals can’t be considered.”
“But the present program has to prove itself first,” he stressed.
Minnes said that the present visitation program carries many unnecessary restrictions, which he expects to see removed if the present pro-
-	ori js successful.
