SMALL AUDIENCE HEARS POLITICOS IN REHASH
by Ruth Ross
A forum for ASSC presidential aspirants to air their ideas to the general student body yesterday resulted only in the retelling of political views—to only the usual small audience of politicians.
The meager attendance was almost completely lacking in representation of the stu-
Presidential aspirants, Bill Van Alstyne and Don Daves both restated their policies at the forum sponsored by the ASSC Forum Committee in the Architecture Auditorium.
Advantages Stressed Speaking first, Van Alstyne stressed the advantages of a private university and advocated a continued high school relations program to present these ideas to future college students. v “SC might not be here in 20 years if it doesn’t promote high school relations and show the opportunity a private college has in teaching what it pleases without the brand of ‘too controversial’,”
Van Alstyne said.
Representatives Both speakers suggested sending students to represent the university to high schools.
“We should send groups to show the high school students the proposed plans of SC,” Daves said. Van Alstyne feels that “students rather than faculty should be the representatives because of a stigma of faculty promotion
that isn t felt in student to stu- should also open student activities
to these students,” he said.
DON DAVES
better Senate relations
Atomic Discussion Set for TV Show
“What are the problems of international control of atomic energy for peacetime purposes?” will be the topic discussed on Chancellor von KleinSmid’s weekly “Teleforum” program.
The program screens on channel 5 Sunday nights at 10:15.
Serving as panelists on this week’s show will be Dr. Chauncey Starr, director of North American Aviation's Atomic Energy Research; Dr. Ross N. Berkes, acting director of the School of International Relations; and Dr. John W. Ervin, professor of law.
BILL VAN ALSTYNE
. . . favors liberal teachers
wiiat America is like, and it is up to us to understand them if we want better world relaions,” he said.
“There should be a greater participation of student leaders in the activities of international students,’” Van Alstyne said during the question period. “And we
dent relationship.
Turning to apathy in student government, Daves suggested a better public relations plan for the Senate.
Few Realize
“Student body officers are put in office to represent the students, but few’ students realize what is going on in the Senate,” he said. “Senate reports should be sent to campus organizations and fraternities, and we should start a bimeeting,” Daves said.
Daves also advocated a better program for international students, because .“they are sent here by their countries to find out
Van Alstyne also told of his plans for a student guide to courses similar to the Harvard guide which would “evaluate the course, the professor, and the exams. It would be financed by advertising and a small sales charge,” he said.
Theta Sig...
. . . meets today at noon in the School of Journalism library. All members please attend. Important!!

State of affairs (music and lyrics by Hal and Stan Char-nofsky, book by Ross Sonne and David Rankin) were delayed and restless until the premiere curtain finally went up on the 1954 Varsity Show at 9 p.m. last night in Bovard Auditorium.
A half-hour late, what might be called a musical play about the mythical governor of Colorado—his life and his loves, was unveiled to an audience of 750.
If it hadn’t been for the governor’s daughter (Betty Rhodes) there wouldn’t have been much of a “State of Affairs.” Miss Rhodes is a miniature Mary Martin who, if she had been allowed to romp through her songs a few notes lower, would have a singing voice to match her excellently projected speaking one.
Governor Convincing The only.doubts one could have about casting her into the part of Cathy have to do with her wearing apparel. In some scenes she gives the impression of being a girl going to the high school junior prom, instead of a woman who has had a marriage proposal.
The governor (Charles Charter) is quite convincing as an actor, but sometimes debateable as a singer. His appearance in the first scene wras slightly marred by first-night nervousness in overacting, but when the show finally got rolling, he went along with it quite naturally.
Clara Hughes (Jayne Lansford), the governor’s admirer, was successful in being unsuccessful in winning the state official. Miss Land6ford is attractive in a believably sophisticated manner, although she tended to become more Bette Davis than Clara Hughes at times. The audience in the rear of the auditorium had to listen hard to hear several of her lines.
Frank Martin (George Schardt) is the governor's imbiDing assistant. Mr. Schardt became almost as tiresome as he was supposed to be tired in his first 6cene, but later parts of the show found him more interesting, especially when he put down his Scotch to pick up nis pencil for some sort of literary effort. His lines, whicif are good, could be better appreciated if they were spoken faster.
Hammond Satisfying Tom Davis (Dave Hammond) is excellently convincing as Cathy’s tie-6elling suitor. Mr. Hammond gives a very satisfying show of talent both as an actor and singer. It is unfortunate that he does not have more to do.
Others who were outstanding include William Croarkin, who at the last minute took the role of the absent-minded Professor Rodney Winkle; Lee Green, who gave a very professional performance as a touring opera star, and Kay Reiter, who was the girl who won the governor.
Music by Charnofskys Music written by the brothers Charnofsky was generally quite good. Specifically, there were several songs that should be termed hits “Woman with a Plan,” sung by Hammond, is one. Others are “I Want to be \vith You,” rendered by Miss Rhodes and Hammond, and “The Whole World Echoes My Love,” as done by Charter and Miss Reiter.
In particular, “State of Affairs” has some very pleasing parts and players. As a whole, the Varsity Show is merely satisfying.
DR. ANDERSON
, . takes N. Y. post
Dr. Anderson Takes Special N.Y. Leave
Dr. Totton J. Anderson, associate professor of political science, will take a special leave to become associate director of the Citizenship Clearing House, at its national offices in New York.
The Citizenship Clearing House is a non-partisan organization aimed at interesting college students and graduates in politics, and in collecting information of various sorts to be made
available to all major political parties and others interested.
Dr. Anderson will leave for the Clearing House headquarters at the New York University law center next September, and will serve with the organization until the following May.
To Coordinate Activities as associate director of the Clearing House, Dr. Anderson will be charged with coordinating the activities of 17 regional centers maintained at colleges and universities throughout the country.
He will be required to travel all over the U.S. visiting the various offices. Pomona College is the headquarters for this region.
“Better Minds for Better Pol-iics” is the slogan of the Clearing House. It encourages college men and women to participate in politics after graduation, either as public office holders, party workers, or as studious voters.
Gets Students Started With contacts in both major political parties and with local government officials, the regional branches of the Clearing House are able to put college students desirous of entering politics in touch with party leaders, and helps them get started in political activities.
The Clearing House also arranges conferences to office holders, professional party workers, political reporters, and professors of political science. The results of these conferences, along with other information, are collected and organized for the use of politicians, students, and other groups.
Vanderbilt Heads The Citizenship Clearing House is headed by Arthur T. Vanderbilt, Chief Justice of New Jersey, and directed by Prof. George Williams of NYy law center. It is supported by a grant from the Maurice and Laura Falk Foundation of Pittsburgh.
Dr. Anderson originated an SC course in practical politics in which students earned regular credit while working with the political party of their choice in their home precincts. He is a past president of the Western Political Science Association.
Mrs. Anderson, an activities coordinator in a Los Angeles high school, will afso take a leave of absence, and accompany her husband when he leaves for New York.
13 Candidates Drop Out of Election Race
Thirteen candidates have dropped out of the coming political race, Elections Commissioner Chuck McClure said yesterday.
Eleven of the office seekers were declared ineligible either because of unit or grade point deficiencies and two withdrew for unknown reasons, McClure said.
Those named ineligible for the
various offices include Norma Jean Hobin for ASSC secretary, Art Kennedy for junior class president, George Hilliard for sophomore president, Clifford G. Bartha for AMS president, Dick Warren for independent men’s representative, and Marty Wood for independent women's representative.
Also declared ineligible were Michel Koueiter for foreign students representative, Jim E. Mertzel for LAS vice president, Rudy Peters for senator-at-large, and John I. Clements and Harlie L. Lunke for Engineering president.
Pat Crawford who was a candidate for ASSC secretary and Laura Mispagel who was running for Commerce vice president, withdrew from the race.
McClure also announced that a proposal for the acceptance of a new constitution will be on the ballot.
Keyed-Up Parties Plan To Fling Political Dirt
Bovard Recital Slated Sunday
Leonard Pennario and Sanford Schonbach will be presented in a recital for piano and violin by the SC Friends of Music in Bovard Auditorium, this Sunday at 8 p.m. p.m.
The recital will be the first annual scholarship benefit concert to be sponsored by the Friends of Music.
by The Watchbird
Only the beginnings of Troy’s biggest political year have been reached if recent rumors carry any weight.
When the campaign reaches its hottest point, reports have it that both parties have their political dirt clods piled up and ready to fling.
To disarm the politicos’ super weapons, the Watchbird thought it would be “nice” to trigger them in advance.
Big Spender
When the time comes, TRG is planning to expose the fabulous sums (possibly up to $500) whicn ASSC Presidential Candidate Bill Van Alstyne has thus far spent on his extensive campaign. Then, they’ll say he’s got another $500 yet to squander.
Now', surely this can’t be true.
But, on the other side, the Conservative Party, backing Sen. Bill, will not only counter-charge TRG with spending large sums, but they will come forth with this latest gem:
As a radio announcer, TRG’s ASSC Presidential Candidate Don Daves did not have a very “colorful” two-year military career—in spite of the way he is attempting to appeal to fellow veterans.
But then, could the Conservatives prove this?
Usual Fanfare The Watchbird thinks less hysteria will result if such “charges” appear here before they are “exposed” with the usual fanfare— just before voting.
Both political groups are strongly suggesting that students “vote* the slate” or they won’t get results. This might indicate that both parties feel Independents, and their vote, holds the key to victory this year.
In spite of the claims by both the Student Conservative Party and the Trojans for Representative Government Party, that each has the balance of power and expects to win “hands down,” not in many years has the Independent vote been so ardently “wooed.”
