Student Response Lacking in Free TB X-Ray Tests
Students have been responding poorly to the Student Health center’s free chest X-ray program for the detection of tuberculosis, Dr. Paul O. Greeley, director, announced yesterday.
Primarily for the detection of tuberculosis, the X-rays also reveal lung tumors and heart disease. Radiologists read the films and students showing abnormality are notified to return for further consultation.

ing committee to phone all students who supposedly voted in the election and ascertain if they did vote or if their ID was forged.
"It’s going to be a big job to do this thing. The committee is composed enirely of selected volunteers and they should be willing to work. I think it is a foolproof system of determining whether the election was valid or fradulent.
1—Check the number of ID cards with total ballots. If discrepancy is larger than winning margin, a new election should be held.
2—Phone	all students and as certain if they voted. If answer is no, another call will be made jointly by two members of the committee.
3—If	number of voids in point two exceeds winning margin, a new election for that office will be called for.
4—All	workers will sign receipts for election materials.
5—Names	of challenged voters will be made available to candi dates 24 hours before committee report goe6 to Senate.
6—In	case of challenge by candidate, a handwriting expert will check the authenticity of the signature.

JOHN LEVAN
. . . now a Greek
Actor Turns Creek for Electra' Role
A mild case of schizophrenia aids in making a good actor.
This is the belief of John Le-Van, who plays the lead, Orestes, in the drama production “Electra,” which begins a five-day run next Tuesday 8:30 p.m. in Bovard Auditorium. Tickets for the play are now on sale at the ticket office in the Student Union.
LeVan . got his theory from Stanislavski, a Russian drama coach whose ideas on acting are among the most quoted in any language.
“Stanislavski advocated a mild case of Schizophrenia,” the actor said. “He believed that to play a role well, you must be that person—adopt not only his outward appearance, but also h i s thoughts.”
Hair-Raising Tale
The outward appearance is the easiest for LeVan to assume, he said. Since most people think of the Greek Orestes, Electra’s brother, as having short, curly, blond hair, LeVan’s had to be cut to fit the requirements.
The actor also had no difficulty meeting the physical specifications for playing the strong Orestes. LeVan won honors in high school and in the Navy in football. track, swimming, and boxing (he held the Navy’s light-heavyweight boxing title).
But how can an actor get into an “ancient Greek” mood and actually “become” Orestes on a busy, modern campus?
Stan Says Concentration
“Concentration,” LeVan. explained. “That’s Stanislavski’s key to fine acting. It’s a bit difficult though when some lighting man hangs by his knees above your head or when a set builder pounds a nail into the stage in the middle of your most dramatic speech.
“But once these disturbances are conquered, concentration will get you through a performance in spite of crying babies or latecomers.”

GOT A LIGHT? — Does lovely Rita Moreno need a light for her cigarette or is she just cold? It looks as if she is generating plenty of heat. Surrounding "flames" are Tau Delts, sponsors of Chase Dance, May 15.
Starlet Visits SC; Impresses Trojans
Hollywood Correspondent for the Daily Trojan
Queen Rita Moreno of the “Chase Dance,” who is a beautiful Hollywood starlet, set her dainty foot on SC soil yesterday and caused a temporary halt of the Daily Trojan operation and other campus activities.
Hollywood’s sexiest newcomer, the curvous brunette, dressed in a rhine-stone decorated
halter sun-dress, joked and sign ed autographs for admiring stu dents while she toured campus and dined at Tau Delta Phi house, sponsor of the Chase. Crazy Lunch When asked how shevliked eat ing at a fraternity house, Miss Mareno said:
Boy, it’s mad. In fact, it’s crazy.”
The male campus living organization that sells tfhe most tickets (percentagewise) to the Chase will elect a member to escort Rita to the dance.
I’ve always wanted to know how it would feel to go out with college man. Now I’ll know. They say they are a different species,” she said.
Long Drag
The Chase will take place May 15 at the Riviera Country Club, with the proceeds going to a scholarship fund. Bids sell for $3 per couple.
As do all students, she thought the climb to the fourth floor of the Student Union was a “long drag.”
Miss Moreno may be seen in the 20th Century Fox production “Garden of Evil,” with Gary Cooper, Susan Hayward, and Richard Widmark. The film was made in Mexico, in technicolor and Cinemascope.
. In the picture, she sings to Cooper, Widmark, and Cameron Mitchell.
“I also flirt my fool head off, and that’s how I got my contract at Fox,” she quipped.

DGs, Pi Phis Start Training In Softball Tilt
Interest zoomed to a high crescendo in the second annual Cheesecake Series as the Pi Beta Phi Powderpuffs and the Delta Gamma Diamond Dainties plunged into their first day of practice.
For the benefit of normal baseball fans, this series is a softball game co-sponsored by Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Kappa Sigma fraternities. Proceeds from the yearly classic go to Troy Camp.
The tilt is scheduled for May 20. Ticket sales will begin one week before.
The Pi Phi’s beat the Diamond Dainties last year by one point— 6 to 5. The Dainties lost a 5 to lead in the final frame as Shirley Conroy singled to drive in the winning runs.
The game- has been described as “nutty,” “zany,” and “just plain crazy.” Troy Campers, however, netting a tidy sum, called it one of the greatest events to take place on Bovard Field.
Jon Kruse, DG coach-manager, explained, "acquisition of new talent, loss of lettermen, and danger of injury, all make the job of picking a starting line-up extremely difficult.”
Committee Will Make Telephone Check of Voters
The ASSC Senate last night voted unanimously to sanction Bo Jansen’s six-point plan for “an exhaustive investigation of alleged discrepancies in last week’s elections.”
Jansen, who heads the five-man special investigating committee, outlined his “double check” system, which calls for telephoning all students listed
as voters, rechecking ID cards, and appealing to handwriting experts to detect forgeries.
Earlier President Warren Clendening named 21 students to assist Jansen in calling, reviewing IDs, and counting ballots. His choices were aijproved.
They include Oordon Anderson Seyom Brown, Rod Buck, Mary Coate, Ann Fant, Joel Fischer, Dortha Fox, Betty Gilbank, Ted Harper, Virginia Howells, and Connie Kurtz.
Students Assisting Others are Joel Levy, Dave Maddux, Ann Odin, Kitty Rate gan, Si Rosenthal, Ernie Schag, Merle Welch, Joe Williams, Jerry Wolfe, and Patti Wright.
Al Golbert, senator-at-large, asked Jan9en to explain bow he plan* to check on voters who deny they voted just to get a new election.
“Each volunteer committee member will be given more than 100 IDs to check,” Jansen ex plained. “The worker will call his list of voters.
‘If he finds that some students deny voting, those students will be called again by another committee member for rechecking. A list of those denying voting will be given to the candidates within 24 hours.
“If a candidate challenges a denial, then the voter’s ID signature will be checked for forgery by handwriting experts, Jansen continued.
He also explained several methods of checking the honesty of the committee workers.
He added that the handwriting of several “undisclosed suspects in the ballot box stuffing episode will be examined by the experts.
Senate action brought the approval of Senator-at-Large Jerry Biankinship’s preliminary report on the orientation class.
According to his plan, the class would be started this fall and would be taken by freshman and transfer students with less than 28 units.
‘Must’ Course
“Involved ih the course would be no cost, no units, no exams, no grade, and no homework,” Blankinship said. “Students would attend the class every Wednesday noon in Bovard Auditorium an(J would get a check mark for credit on their files. No check would mean no graduation.”
Purposes of the class would be to tell students the advantages of the university and its student activities and to make them more willing to support the university financially as alumni.
ASSC Vice-President Bobette Bentley said a final exam should be given in the course to keep students interested.
“No,” Clendening answered, “students will be interested in the class for its own sake because we plan to have top campus figures as lecturers.” Blankinship added that President Fred D. Fagg Jr., Dean of Students Bernard L. Hyink, the student body president, and other school leaders would be guest lecturers.

V.A. Office Moves Near Grill
“Down the steps to the grill and turn to the right.”
These directions have been given to more than 200 veterans sinoe Monday morning by Information, the Department of Development, and the Daily Trojan.
The aged building that housed the Veteran Administration offices for many years, is being tom down. The offices were moved to the only nearby, available space on campus—the Trojan Grill edifice.
“There are no plans to build
anything on the old lot as yet,” said John E. Fields, vice president in charge of development. Whenever the university is able, it likes to have more “campus,” he said.
Business Manager Elton D. Phillips announced that grass will be planted there as soon as the last board is gone.
The rfew offices appear permanent, rather than temporary. The soft roar of voices usually audible in the Grill cannot be heard in any of the rooms or cub-
icles making both employees and veterans relations more convenient.
The Veterans Affairs office should not be confused with the Veterans Accounts office located in the old Phelps-Terkel building,” • Charles S. Jameson, assit-ant V.A. registrar said.
“The Accounts office is a business office—only,” Jameson stressed. “Many veterans waste both their time and the department’s by making inquiries about problems not related to money.
