The first edition of the Trojan Chest pie throw proved to be a “smashing success” yesterday noon when nearly $100 was raised for charity in less than an hour.
Today at 12:15 the final round of pie pushing will be presented on the Row. The pie-trowing booth will be set up at the corner of University Avenue and 28th Street, according to Bob Wallach, president of the sponsoring sophomore class. #
Spurred on by auctioneering of Jim Lucostic, Trojans and Trojanes bid as high as $2 for the privilege of throwing a single pie at a campus “wheel.”
Politicos Took It in Face
Yesterday’s targets included Bill Van Alstyne, senator-at-large; George Root, senior class president; John Garr, LAS president; Jerry Baker, senator-at-large; Bob Gerst, Squires president; and Warren Clendening, ASSC president.
As promised by the Bowie Pie Company, the cream pastry proved to be as gooey as was possible to make.
“The pies were rather tasty,” said Jerry Blankinship, senator-at-large and one of the targets. “But it felt like I was being hit with a wet bail of garbage.”
Television, Newspaper Coverage
The pie throw Monday was covered by CBS-TV News, News of the Day, the Herald-Express, and the Examiner.
Today’s schedule of pie victims includes;
12:15—Counselor of Men Albert Zech, 12:20—Don Daves, 12:25—Interfraternity Coordinator Robert Waldo, 12:30—Arne Lindgren, 12:35—Don Simonian, and 12:40— Bobette Bentley.
Today’s bidding will start at 35 cents. Yesterday, however, no one won the opportunity to heave a pie for less than 50 cents.

PARTY MEMBERS SHOCKED
Joan Price Nixes TRC Aid
Bill Van Alstyne will be joined by Joan Price in running independently of party backing for ASSC presidential and vice presidential offices.
The announcement of Miss Price's intentions came as a shock when it was made at Sunday night’s TRG (Trojans for Representative Government) meeting in the Sigma Chi house.
A party member characterized the members’ response as a “vacuous silence.”
At a secret meeting of TRG held last Tuesday, party members had considered Miss Price and Mary Barrett as vice presidential nominees. Some members wished to run Miss Price as vice president and Miss Barrett as secretary.
Sudden Switch
But Miss Price’s sudden switch to Van Alstyne leaves TRG with Don Daves, Phi Delt, as presidential nominee and Miss Barrett, blood drive chairman, as vice presidential candidate.
It is not known who the Conservative Party will back.
"If we run with just one party,” Van Alstyne said, “we would owe
mm

allegiance to that particular party. By tying ourselves to just one party, we would exclude other groups.”
Van Alstyne said he and Miss Price do not want to be identified by just one party to the exclusion of all others.
‘We think the independents, foreign students, Conservative Party, and TRG are all interested in the same problems,” Van Alstyne said.
“These problems are landscaping of University Avenue, strengthening of student charity programs, and more intense high school and junior college orientation.”
Non-Party Issues Van Alstyne said that such things as the check cashing issue are not a party issue. He said it’s “something for all students.” The independent men’s representative said his program is a nonpartisan, university-wide platform.
Van Alstyne is a four year university scholarship winner, is a senator-a1,-large, member of Blue Key, president of Phi Eta Sigma, vice president of the pre-law honorary Blackstonian Society, vice president of the international languages society, member of the philosophy honorary society, member of the varsity debate squad, and a member of the Student Board of Publications. He has been a two-time delegate to the model UN.
Miss Price is a member of Troeds, president of Chimes, AWS cabinet, a non-voting senator, rush chairman of Kappa Alpha Theta, Panhellenic Council member, and Student Life Committee member.
Miss Price is a Kappa Alpha Theta, which has supported TRG while Van Alstyne’s fraternity, Acacia, is now independent. It formerly supported the All-U Party, now called Conservative Party.
MR. T CONTEST FRAUD CHARGED
by The Watchbird
Did Bill Van Alstyne win third place in the “Mr. Trojanality” contest?
That question was asked yesterday by a group supporting another candidate. The group claimed their man had more votes cast than was reported for Van Alstyne.-
Investigation into certain alleged irregularities in the final ballot tabulations, however, failed to indicate any accurate conclusion.
Because of the closeness of the voting, it can never be determined where the discrepency exists, if at all. And, also because of the last minute heavy rush of votes, the ballots and the money came in so fast that tabulators were buried under a flood of folding stuff.
One last problem still needs to be solved, however. How
come, after counting all the ballots, there was still $20 more than should have been collected? Are some ballots missing, or are SC students philanthropically inclined?
Meanwhile, the stench of the outlawed TNE 'Tong” party continued to permeate the halls of Troyville as one political candidate after anoher protested vehemently that he did not have the support of the “underground movement.”
Leveiin odorous volley after volley at the Watchbird, numerous candidates sputtered denials of alleged affiliations and backing by TNE. Proof of such backing could mean expulsion of the candidates from the university.
The ever-sharp eyes of the Watchbird yesterday caught a prominent presidential candidate pilfering letters from the Daily Trojan’s "Letter to the Editor” box in the Student Union. He was armed with a screw driver and other paraphernalia of the underworld.
The briefest political career in the history of SC was noted when basketball star Dick Welsh, rumored to be a presidential candidate for the Conservative Party, violently denied such a move.
“This was a complete surprise to me and I wish everyone to know that I do not choose to run,” Welsh told the Watchbird.
Al Car penter, Conservative Party Chairman, declared he was aghast at the mention of Welsh’s name in connection with the presidential race.
“It’s a foul thing,” Carpenter declared. “It’s a plant from the TRG.”
Independent Jerry Blankinship announced he was still in the running for the ASSC presidency. Blankinship also denied any affiliation with TNE. “I have never been a member of any secret political organization,” Blankinship said.
