Women Wanted For Sole Spot In ASSC Vote
Women interested in running for ASSC sec retary in a special Feb. 29 election, may secure petitions now in 215 SU.
The announcement was made yesterday hy Mrs. Bette Dobkin, elections commissioner. Mrs. Dobkin said that political parties as well as individuals may take out petitions within the next week and a half.
“The , election of a secretary will probably be the only office on the ballot, Van Alstyne said.
STRATFORD GIVES OPINION IN IFC PRESIDENT TANGLE
Dr. William Stratford, IFC Coordinator, yesterday gave his opinion of the workings of the Interfraternity Council as it concerns the controversy now raging over who is really th.e president.
Opposing political factions have been fighting over the legality of the last presidential election. Dr. Stratford, who previously gave his opinion of the matter to the ASSC president, here outlines his feelings on the character of the organization:
“This political activity on the part of all concerned in the IFC is good training for members of this democracy. Whether a person is for or against any one side is for him a personal matter. W’hat is vastly more important is that the IFC members are eager and ready to fight for their respective sides. In this, on a larger sphere, one can see continued hope for our democracy. My only fear would be that no one cares, that no one sees enough of value on either side to fight for his beliefs.
“Just as opposition is welcome and as both sides should be able to air their views, so should there be ways of settling the issues in a legitimate way, with rivals eventuaLly working together after a decision has been reached. There are at least two legitimate ways of settling this dispute already established. I have con-fidence in the ability of those in charge to handle this.”
2000 Wamp Copies Sold
Two thousand copies of the Wampus were sold yesterday and the remaining 1000 copies are,ex-pected to go today, according to Co-Editor Tom Pflimlin. They will also be sold to night school students.
“ ‘Roses n’ Razzes’ has caused quite a furor,” said Pflimlin, “and students have asked for more than just one page of it.”
The first issue of the semester satirizes the strain of registration and studying in six stories. A pictorial story of a social drinker titled “The Cocktail Party,” is the Wampus Fotokrime feature, with Cannibal Schlobb.
The humor magazine sells for 25 cents.
Official
Notice
announced that $100 worth of used texts had been sold by noon Monday. Sales would be even higher, Dunn added, if more books could be secured.
“We definitely need more books,” he said.
The Book Mart is a service to both the students and the school. Any student who wishes to sell a book, providing it is still in use at the university, can take it to the Trovets.
The Trovets will then sell it for the asking price of the student, minus a ten-cent service charge.
“This offers both the students who want to buy or sell a chance to save, Dunn added. The service charge goes into Trovet-APhiO fund which performs other services for the university.”
Dunn credits the increase in sales to the Book Mart’s new location.
The Book Mart will be open all this week from 10 to 2. Assisting Dunn are Dave Bramwell, Jerry Detniler and Buddy Carls.

A committee of representatives from eight campus religious groups will be formed soon to evaluate the results and implement the recommendations of a student-faculty religion conference held over the weekend.
Twenty - three students, nine faculty members, and eight religious group advisers attended the conference on “The Christian in the University” held Saturday and Sunday at the Presbyterian Conference Grounds at Pacific Palisades. The conference was sponsored by the advisers of campus Protestant religious groups.
One recommendation which the student follow-up committee is expected to implement is a proposal that an interdenominational program be set up to explore the similarities and differences between beliefs of Christians.
Christian Witness .
Other recommendations were made at the conference in the areas of “methods of Christian witness on campus” and “the role of the professor who is a Christian.”
The committee to evaluate and implement these recommendations will be composed of one student from each of the religious groups participating in the conference — American Baptist, Episcopal, Inter-Varsity Christ-tian Fellowship, Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod, Lutheran Church NLC. Methodist, Presbyterian, and YWCA.
The Rev. Oscar J. Ice, who was selected as convener of the committee, said yesterday that the committee will meet just as soon as the representatives have been chosen by their respective groups.
Hindman Speaks
Opening address of the conference was given Saturday evening by Dr. Wilbert Hindman, professor of political science, who spoke on “The Role of the Christian in the University.” Dr. Hindman stressed the aspects of the student’s relation to the group.
Problems and suggestions relating to the them? of the Conference were formulated during a panel discussion, small group discussion sessions, and general group sessions.

Van Alstyne Reviews Work of Last Term
*
Editor’s Note: This is the second installment in the Daily Trojan’s interview with ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne on the work of his student goveVnment executive department during the first half of his term. The first installment of the interview yesterday included questions about the first seven points on Van Alstyne’s campaign platform. Today more of his platform is covered. The interview was conducted by four DT staff members and tape recorded for presentation here.)
Q—WThat changes have been made in the student body financial setup this year?
A—My recommendation was specifically a reallocation. We have reallocated to a great extent. For instance, the IR students have received more. We put up $250 to join NSA, a new allocation. We also expanded our allocation to the model United Nations to $350.
In addition to that, we secured a mimeograph machine. This is a savings because the ASSC will not have to get everything done by the mimeograph department. It will cut down the budget.
Q—W'faat election revisions have been made? Has the election revision by-law been passed? What action is expected at the next Senate meeting on the by-law?
A—This platform promise has been completely fulfilled. That has been an elections rules revision, and it has been undoubtedly the one with the most glaring need. We found the old laws had three frailties.
First, it was profitable for a candidate to spend more than his legal allowance on campaigning material since the fines were not restrictive. For example, if the limit were $50 and the candidate spent $100 dollars, thereby influnec-ing more people and gaining a better chance of election, he would be fined only $5.
(Continued ou Page 4)
Class Signups, Changes Move To Commons
Students who are still registering and changing classes must report to the basement of the Commons after today, according to registrar Howard W. Patmore.
New students have until the end of this week to register, and those reregistering have until the end of next week. A late registration fee of $5 is charged this week, and will be increased to $10 next week.
Those wishing to drop or change classes must pick up the material at the registration area, fill out the drop cards and new class cards, and get the approval of their adviser for the change. No fee will be charged if the class change is made by noon Saturday.
Approximately 4300 students took advantage of the preregistration. The total figure for this
semester is expected to be near 17,000. 11,000 day students and 6000 University College and Civic Center students.
Patmore said that a slight increase is expected over last spring’s total enrollment of 16,-379. Statistics on the number of new students will not be available until registration is completed next week, and all the information compiled.
by David C. Henley
ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne expects one of his most important election promises to be fulfilled tomorrow night at 6:45 wherf the Senate meets for the first time this semester to consider the second half of his revised election code. \-------------------------------------
The Senate will also consider two motions which would benefit the Daily Trojan and two resolutions presented by Daulat Masuda, foreign students representative.
► Excitement Expected
The senators also expect excitement when Ron Weintraub. disputed winner of the presidency of the Interfraternity Council (IFC) attempts to take his seat with the other senators and student representatives.
President Van Alstyne’s new election by-laws are aimed at one specific target: fraud. The ASSC head said that this new election code, if passed, will make it impossible to cheat at the polls.
New Election Code
(1) Fines would be heavily raised for those who have broken the voting regulations.
(2) These fines would be collected like library fines, and if the offending student did not pay, he would not receive his grades, he could not register the next semester and he would not be permitted to participate in university functions.
(3) Reports on financial contributions and printing costs of the candidates would be more rigidly checked and would be investigated, if necessary, by the Los Angeles Better Business Bureau.
I.B.M. Machines
(4) ‘There would be no more voting by ballots. The students would vote on electrical I.B.M. machines.
(5) The votes registered on the I.B.M. mechanisms would be tallied by paid personnel of the university (In the past, the votes have been counted by student volunteers).
(6) There would be no more student volunteers in the actual voting* areas. Their places would be taken by members of three campus women’s* groups; Amazons, Spurs and Chimes.
(7) Lastly, these groups would be bonded. (This says in effect that if one member of the organization was dishonest, the whole group might suffer by being suspended from the campus for one year).
Competitive Advertising
Bob Eisner, Business Manager of the Daily Trojan, is expected to be quizzed on the feasibility of competitive advertising in the paper. This is indirectly aimed at the University Bookstore, which is the only establishment of its kind which is permitted to advertise in the Trojan. (Downtown bookstores have said that they can obtain textbooks for 10 per cent less than the prices set by the University store.)
Daulat Masuda, Foreign Student Representative, will recommend two resolutions to the senate. They are: (1) That certain American groups, like Knights,
Squiies, would sponsor International nights, and (2) That foreign students^could eat at SCs fraternities and enjoy some of their social functions.
New Political Party
Stanley Dunn, veterans representative, will present the constitution of a newly-formed political party called the “Student Union Party.” {The party is to be open to all students.
Ron Weintraub expects a heated discussion tomorrow night at the senate meeting when he tries to take the seat of IFC president.
He is expected to be challenged by Chuck Singer who also claims to be the president.
IFC Argument
The argument is over the validity of the elections procedure which made Weintraub president at an. IFC meeting last month.
Weintraub and Singer supposedly polled the same number of votes but Weintraub was then elected by the vote of the IFC executive committee.
However, Singer’s supporters claimed a violation of the Constitution and the next day, the IFC called the election of Weintraub invalid.
Twelve men and twelve women students will be chosen next Monday and Tuesday for voluntary counseling at this summer’s Troy Camp for underprivileged children, according to Troy Camp Director Jack Casey.
Petitions for counseling and also to work on the committee for fund raising are now available in the ASSC office in the Student Union, Casey said. After petitions are filled out they can be placed in Casey’s box in the office.
Co-Chairman Connie Kirman said that students will be contacted for interviews. The first aieeting of the committee will be at 7 Wednesday evening.
“Troy Camp will conduct a separate campaign for funds from Feb. 28 to March 4, independent of Troy Chest,” Casey said.
“We will have classroom collections and we hope that individuals will support the campaign,” Miss Kirman added.
Casey estimated that $3500 should be raised to finance the Camp.
“We have already received S580 from donations this year,” he said.
Camp for 75 underprivileged girls will be held from August 20-27. The girls will be chosen from the east side by the Department of Recreation and Parks. The Variety Boys Club will choose 100 boys to attend the Big Bear Camp from August 27 to Sept. 2.
Casey, who has been a Troy Camp counselor for the past two summers, says that the children enjoy the camp so much that they don’t want to leave
Talk, Slides On Sleeping Sickness Set
Running and escaping from bulls are only some of the experiences Dr. Sherwin Wood will relate to his audience at the science lecture series tonight at 8 in Hancock Auditorium.
All the experiences he will relate occurred while he was doing field work in his study of the trypanosome, a protozoan blood parasite found in mammals, which causes Chagas’ diseases, one type of sleeping sickness.
Colored kodachrome slides of areas in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California which are susceptible to the disease will be shown.
Dr. Wood will also tell stories told to him by Dr. Blaf Moia of Buenos Aires, who described invested rural areas of Argentina, Chile, and Brazil, where Chagas’ disease is the No. 1 problem.

The interview was conducted by four DT staff members and tape recorded for presentation here.) Q—WThat changes have been made in the student body financial setup this year? A—My recommendation was specifically a reallocation. We have reallocated to a great extent. For instance, the IR students have received more. We put up $250 to join NSA, a new allocation. We also expanded our allocation to the model United Nations to $350. In addition to that, we secured a mimeograph machine. This is a savings because the ASSC will not have to get everything done by the mimeograph department. It will cut down the budget. Q—W'faat election revisions have been made? Has the election revision by-law been passed? What action is expected at the next Senate meeting on the by-law? A—This platform promise has been completely fulfilled. That has been an elections rules revision, and it has been undoubtedly the one with the most glaring need. We found the old laws had three frailties. First, it was profitable for a candidate to spend more than his legal allowance on campaigning material since the fines were not restrictive. For example, if the limit were $50 and the candidate spent $100 dollars, thereby influnec-ing more people and gaining a better chance of election, he would be fined only $5. (Continued ou Page 4) Class Signups, Changes Move To Commons Students who are still registering and changing classes must report to the basement of the Commons after today, according to registrar Howard W. Patmore. New students have until the end of this week to register, and those reregistering have until the end of next week. A late registration fee of $5 is charged this week, and will be increased to $10 next week. Those wishing to drop or change classes must pick up the material at the registration area, fill out the drop cards and new class cards, and get the approval of their adviser for the change. No fee will be charged if the class change is made by noon Saturday. Approximately 4300 students took advantage of the preregistration. The total figure for this semester is expected to be near 17,000. 11,000 day students and 6000 University College and Civic Center students. Patmore said that a slight increase is expected over last spring’s total enrollment of 16,-379. Statistics on the number of new students will not be available until registration is completed next week, and all the information compiled. by David C. Henley ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne expects one of his most important election promises to be fulfilled tomorrow night at 6:45 wherf the Senate meets for the first time this semester to consider the second half of his revised election code. \------------------------------------- The Senate will also consider two motions which would benefit the Daily Trojan and two resolutions presented by Daulat Masuda, foreign students representative. ► Excitement Expected The senators also expect excitement when Ron Weintraub. disputed winner of the presidency of the Interfraternity Council (IFC) attempts to take his seat with the other senators and student representatives. President Van Alstyne’s new election by-laws are aimed at one specific target: fraud. The ASSC head said that this new election code, if passed, will make it impossible to cheat at the polls. New Election Code (1) Fines would be heavily raised for those who have broken the voting regulations. (2) These fines would be collected like library fines, and if the offending student did not pay, he would not receive his grades, he could not register the next semester and he would not be permitted to participate in university functions. (3) Reports on financial contributions and printing costs of the candidates would be more rigidly checked and would be investigated, if necessary, by the Los Angeles Better Business Bureau. I.B.M. Machines (4) ‘There would be no more voting by ballots. The students would vote on electrical I.B.M. machines. (5) The votes registered on the I.B.M. mechanisms would be tallied by paid personnel of the university (In the past, the votes have been counted by student volunteers). (6) There would be no more student volunteers in the actual voting* areas. Their places would be taken by members of three campus women’s* groups; Amazons, Spurs and Chimes. (7) Lastly, these groups would be bonded. (This says in effect that if one member of the organization was dishonest, the whole group might suffer by being suspended from the campus for one year). Competitive Advertising Bob Eisner, Business Manager of the Daily Trojan, is expected to be quizzed on the feasibility of competitive advertising in the paper. This is indirectly aimed at the University Bookstore, which is the only establishment of its kind which is permitted to advertise in the Trojan. (Downtown bookstores have said that they can obtain textbooks for 10 per cent less than the prices set by the University store.) Daulat Masuda, Foreign Student Representative, will recommend two resolutions to the senate. They are: (1) That certain American groups, like Knights, Squiies, would sponsor International nights, and (2) That foreign students^could eat at SCs fraternities and enjoy some of their social functions. New Political Party Stanley Dunn, veterans representative, will present the constitution of a newly-formed political party called the “Student Union Party.” {The party is to be open to all students. Ron Weintraub expects a heated discussion tomorrow night at the senate meeting when he tries to take the seat of IFC president. He is expected to be challenged by Chuck Singer who also claims to be the president. IFC Argument The argument is over the validity of the elections procedure which made Weintraub president at an. IFC meeting last month. Weintraub and Singer supposedly polled the same number of votes but Weintraub was then elected by the vote of the IFC executive committee. However, Singer’s supporters claimed a violation of the Constitution and the next day, the IFC called the election of Weintraub invalid. Twelve men and twelve women students will be chosen next Monday and Tuesday for voluntary counseling at this summer’s Troy Camp for underprivileged children, according to Troy Camp Director Jack Casey. Petitions for counseling and also to work on the committee for fund raising are now available in the ASSC office in the Student Union, Casey said. After petitions are filled out they can be placed in Casey’s box in the office. Co-Chairman Connie Kirman said that students will be contacted for interviews. The first aieeting of the committee will be at 7 Wednesday evening. “Troy Camp will conduct a separate campaign for funds from Feb. 28 to March 4, independent of Troy Chest,” Casey said. “We will have classroom collections and we hope that individuals will support the campaign,” Miss Kirman added. Casey estimated that $3500 should be raised to finance the Camp. “We have already received S580 from donations this year,” he said. Camp for 75 underprivileged girls will be held from August 20-27. The girls will be chosen from the east side by the Department of Recreation and Parks. The Variety Boys Club will choose 100 boys to attend the Big Bear Camp from August 27 to Sept. 2. Casey, who has been a Troy Camp counselor for the past two summers, says that the children enjoy the camp so much that they don’t want to leave Talk, Slides On Sleeping Sickness Set Running and escaping from bulls are only some of the experiences Dr. Sherwin Wood will relate to his audience at the science lecture series tonight at 8 in Hancock Auditorium. All the experiences he will relate occurred while he was doing field work in his study of the trypanosome, a protozoan blood parasite found in mammals, which causes Chagas’ diseases, one type of sleeping sickness. Colored kodachrome slides of areas in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California which are susceptible to the disease will be shown. Dr. Wood will also tell stories told to him by Dr. Blaf Moia of Buenos Aires, who described invested rural areas of Argentina, Chile, and Brazil, where Chagas’ disease is the No. 1 problem.
