Lenore Monosson, barred as an ASSC secretarial candi-te by the Senate, will probably renew her eligibility battle in tonight’s Senate meeting, according to political sources.
Miss Monosson, who was declared out of the running :cause of a unit deficiency claims that she will make up e “lost units” in summer 6chool.
It seems that she has rallied he necessary two-thirds majority f Senators needed to reconsider d rescind the motion which losed the political door in her ace.
It will be interesting to see rom which side of the “party" ence she ha6 draw’n her support.
majority of the voting seats his year are held by people who ere backed by the now-defunct 11-U Party. It may be from lese ranks that she has drawn } er power ... (if she really has 1).

Politicos are eyeing the newly-)rmed All-University Party hich has no connection with the fore-mentioned defunct party of le same name. Whereas the dis-nded party was a Row “mach-e”, the new' party is composed imarily of independents and s not figure to cause the other vo party's bosses any sleepless ghts.

TRG’s early confidence in winning the election could stem from the fact that they claim voting “control” over all but two sororities along the Row. Just how much a sorority can be “controlled” is highly debatable. Ever since Eve bit the apple, women have been doing unpredictable things. However, if a “block vote” is successfully enforced, it could represent some 700 votes for Daves.
Thus, the two Row faction's strength will be governed by unpredictable votes—from the sorority women and the independent students. Therefore, it is easy to see why both parties are wooing the support of the independent to
J. Arthur Rank Production Depicts Life of Methodist Church Founder
SC’s Wesley Club will present the West Coast premiere of J. Arthur Rank’s production of “John Wesley” on Sunday evening, May 2 at 8 in Bovard Auditorium, it was announced yesterady.
This new color movie on the life of Wesley, an ordained
Anglican priest who founded the Methodist movement, wras produced in England under the auspices of the radio and film commission of the Methodit church.
The film will be showm on the invitation of Bishop Gerald Kennedy, Resident Bishop of the Los Angeles area, and President Fred D. Fagg Jr., said Gil Stephenson,
SC Wesley Club president.
“But,” he added, “a limited number of invitations will be available to SC students after Apr. 27 at the club’s office, 817 West 34th Street.”
Seats Reserved
All seats will be reserved. The invitations are not purchasable but offerings wrill be taken after the film for the benefit of the Methodist Student Scholarship Fund.
“From such funds six to eight scholarship holders are able to go to SC every semester,” said Alfred S. Dale, Methodist Minister to Students.
In cooperation with the Wesley Club, the film will be co-sponsored by the University Methodist Church, the SC School of Religion, and the Southern California and Arizona conference of the Radio and Film Commission of the Methodist Church.
New York Premiere
The film will have its world premiere at the New York Museum of Modern Art on Apr. 28. It will be a private showing for the country’s Methodist Bishops and their guests.
Then, the 500 Methodist churches which made contributions to help produce the film will see it within the months of May and June.
One of the main reasons the film will be shown on campus is because there is a statue of John Wesley in the front of Bovard Auditorium.
Companion Film
“Also,” according to the Rev.
Dale, “there are some 1200 Methodist preference students on campus; and the film wras produced mainly to educate people on the life of Wesley.
Along with the film, a short called “The Bishop Speaks” will be screened. It is the third in a series and will review the book "Wesley Brothers,” w’hich is not yet off the presses.

Senators to Finish Plans For Election
ASSC senators plan to wind up election preparation business when they meet tonight at 7 in 418 SU.
The revision of the ASSC constitution, which w’as introduced and discussed at previous meetings, will come up for a vote tonight." If the senators pass it, the revised constitution will go before the student body at next wreek’s election. It is expected that the measure will go on the ballot without strong opposition.
Blankinship Resigns
A new member cf the elections investigating committee will be elected from among the senators to replace Jerry Blankinship who resigned. Senator-at-large Blankinship left the committee because he is a candidate for AMS president in next week’s election.
Introduction of legislation requiring Senate recognition for all campus political parties is expected. A similar measure failed to get Sertate approval earlier this spring, but the fate of this new proposed requirement may depend on the form in which it is introduced.
Senate Approval Sought
In non-election business, President Warren Clendening will ask Senate approval of his appointment of a man to serve as co-chairman of Troy Camp. If the appointment is confirmed, the new co-chairman will serve with Co-Chairman Barbara Haase, who was appointed earlier in the year. They will plan, direct, and coordinate the camp w7hich provides a week of summer fun for 130 underprivileged children from East Los Angeles. The SC student-sponsored camp is financed from Trojan Chest funds .
Report To Be Heard
President Clendening and Sena-tor-at-large Jfcrry Baker will report on the regional convention of the National Students Association in Oakland early this month. They attended as observers to learn more about the association which some students think SCs student body should join. Clendening and Baker plan to recommend that the new ASSC president appoint a 3-student delegation to observe the NSA national congress. NSA is a national organization for student governments. Whether or not SC should seek membership in the group has long been a controversy on the Senate.
'Farouk' Gives Homage at Foot Of Trojan.Sh.rine
A rather thin version of King Farouk, accompanied by six gun-toting bodyguards, paid a quick visit to the shrine of Tommy Trojan at noon yesterday.
“Farouk” laboriously man-uevered his 150 pound hulk out of a light-green convertible and placed a bouquet of Egyptian poppies at the fo«t of the Trojan statue.
The “portly” ex-monarch was dressed in a light-blue doufcfe-breasted suit. He was also wearing his traditional fez. The six armed bodyguards were all attired in dark-blue suits, straw hats, and horn-rimmed sun-glasses.
Immediately after the imposter placed the flowers at the foot of the statue, a souvenir-bunting coed broke through the cordon of guards and snatched the posies.
“Farouk” remained silent throughout the ceremony and refused to be photographed or interviewed.

—	|	Their	eligibility	has	not	been	cer-
tified yet, McClure said.

'Wamp' Makes Final Bid for Literary Glory
Wampus will make its last appearance of the year, and possibly forever, today beginning at 10 a.m. SC’s humor magazine will be sold for 25 cents in front of the Student Union, according to Circulation Manager Bob Hilden-brand.
The Student Activities Committee, with the approval of President Fred D. Fagg, put the kibosh on the magazine early this week because “it has been primarily a sex magazine, and, as r Shirley Tanner, and Margie Peti-
such, should not be officially sponsored by the University.”
The Best Yet “This is absolutely the best Wampus in many years,” said Ed-tor Tom Pflimlin. “We want to leave the students with a good feeling as the Wamp closes its doors,” he said.
“After receiving the results from the Wampus survey, taken in March, we decided to publish the type of humor that SC students like most,” Pflimlin said.
Anniversary Issue “This is the 35th anniversary issue of the humor magazine. We have taken only the cream of the humor from the previous issues for republication in the current Wampus, so it should tickle your funnybone,” Assistant Editor Ken Niles said.
Glorious Willie “Besides more pictures, cartoons, jokes, and stories than ever, we also have excellent art work,” said Art Editor Dick Hamilton.
‘'The front cover, designed by Pat MacLean, shows Willie the Wampusbird in all of his glory. The art to accompany stories as well as the advertising art is top-notch,” Hamilton said.

Excessive Units Force Lea Out of Race for Presidency
by Bob Eisner
The ASSC presidential race again dropped down to two candidates yesterday when Jim Lea, nominated Monday, dropped out of the running. He will run for senator-at-large instead.
Lea, who was a surprise nominee for the presidency, made the switch yesterday when he learned that he had too many units to run for the top post. According to the ASSC Constitution, “The President shall be a male undergraduate student who shall l^ive been credited with at least 90 units and no more than 112 units of college work by the end of the semester in which he is elected . .
. Lea will have 120 units by the end of the semester. A senior now, he could have dropped some units to become a qualified candidate, but this would have made him ineligible fojr varsity track for the remainder of the season. He is co-captain of the SC track team and is ranked the No. 1 quarter-miler in the country, in view of his winning the NCAA 440 in 1953.
The newly-formed All-University Party came out in support of Lea yesterday, although he did not solicit or seek the independent group’s backing. He was originally going to receive support for the presidential post, but when the switch wai made, the All-U Party stood behind him.
Lea’s original backing came from a group of students who were “dissatisfied with the platforms and numerous promises of both parties, and party politics in general.”
COUNCILWOMAN WEINER
... on campus today
Councilwoman Tells How To Run Sans Cash
HE'S NOT RUNNING-Track star Jim Lea was dropped from the ASSC presidential race yesterday because of excessive units.
Rosalind Weiner, SC alumna who astounded Los Angeles political figures last spring by winning a seat on the City Council at the ripe old age of 23, returns to SC to speak at the YWCA, 857 West 35th Place, today at noon, under the sponsorship of the Y Committee on Effective Citizenship.
In her second official speaking engagement on the Trojan campus since her election, Councilwoman Weiner plans to relate some of her experiences on the Council and how to organize an election campaign.
Campaigning Sans Dough The secrets of running a campaign without money and what to substitute for it will also be revealed, indicated Miss Weiner.
Miss Weiner’s only other official campus appearance was before the Faculty Club last October, when she spoke on “A Woman’s View of the Council.” She represents the Los Angeles Fifth District. *
Humorous Incidents
Many of the humorous incidents which have occurred in connection with her Council duties will be discussed by Miss Weiner, at the noon meeting.
“There have been plenty of them too,” she said. The young Democratic Councilwoman is the first female elected to the Council ir. 36 years.
She holds a bachelor of science degree in public administration from SC in 1952, and, before her election, was a playground recreation director. A life-long ambition of hers to serve in some governmental capacity was realized in the unusually rapid transition from campus to Council, according to Miss Weiner.
Active in Y ‘Since Miss Weiner was very active as a student in the YWCA at SC,” said Flo Ingram, chairman of the Committee on Effective Citizenship, we’re hoping for a good crowd to welcome her back.”
Miss Weiner’s talk will be one of a series the Committee has slated to promote effective citizenship. Previous speakers have been Charles Fielding, assistant city attorney, and Cy Eisner, formerly of the city planning office, freeway division.
Open House Will Be Held By Engineers
Cooking with^it heat . . .
This is not just a housewife’s dream; it is possible and will be demonstrated for the public this Friday from 2 to 10 p.m. at the annual School of Engineering open* house, 920 West 36th Place.
Other electric phenomena, such as the handling of a miniature bolt of lightning of one million volts on a student’s finger tips, also will be demonstrated.
Engineering Dean Robert E. Vivian has said that the creation of a miniature clap of thunder, and a demonstration of a defrayed shadow which is retained on a screen after the subject steps away, are among other features planned for the visitors.
