School Opens Lab in Honor Of Dr. Deuel
The Deuel Laboratory of Nutrition was dedicated yesterday as a part of the SC School of Medicine.
A new building, containing more than 600 square feet, the laboratory was built on the grounds of the Kerckhoff estate on West Adams Boulevard, and named in honor of Dr. Harry J. Deuel Jr., dean of the Graduate School. Dr. Deuel, who has been on the SC faculty 26 years, formerly was head of the department of biochemistry and nutrition.

He is the author of a three-volume study, “The Lipids,” which has been hailed as the most outstanding research presentation of its kind in the world.
Dr. Gordon E. Goodhart, dean of the SC medical school, attended the dedication of the nutrition laboratory with other professors from the biochemistry and biology departments.
The ASSC Senate set runoff elections for tomorrow and Friday at a special noon meeting yesterday after a hassle over whether a one day runoff would give everyone a chance to vote.
Commissioner of Elections Bette Dobkin had recom-
I mended runoffs on Friday only, | but Proxv-Senator Joe Cerrell j claimed that too many students do not have classes on Friday. “You're depriving people of the j right to vote,” Cerrell said. The | runoffs are for Commerce presi-j dent.
The Senators approved M r s. Dobkin’s report of the election results without discussion. She add-j ed that there were only six write-
ins for Veterans* Representative instead of the 70 reported in the | DT. Seventy write in votes would j have meant neither of the two candidates received a majority and would have necessitated a I runoff.
Mrs. Dobkin told the*group that there were no major instances of dishonesty uncovered at the polls ! but that one person has been j turned over to the judicial council fcr further action.
There were also unconfirmed rumors that some voters had gone through the polls on other people’s ID cards.
Mrs. Dobkin reported an amazing amount of blank and partially filled ballots, where students had voted for only one or two of-I fices. She suggested that there was no actual increase in the I number of such ballots, but that the tamper-proof IBM machines had counted votes more accurately.
To Verity Expenses
The Los Angeles Better Business Bureau will audit all campaign estimates to verify whether actual costs of campaign material were given as stated, the ASSC Senate’s Elections Investigating Committee decided yesterday.
At a noon meeting, the
committee discussed fines for illegal posters of candidates. Candidates with posters up since Sunday are being fined $1 per day per poster, Chairman Barbara Haase said.
So far the largest violation fine computed has been against AMS president-elect Bob Gerst. According to ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne, Gerst is being fined $1 apiece for 56 brochures located in the Doheny Library. It is against university rules to place any cam. paign material in the libraries.
Miss Haase reminded candidates that today is the last day for turnning in an estimate of campaign expenditures. The Election Bylaws allows each candidate to spend only $50 on his campaign. For the first five dollars over the alloted budget he is fined 20 per cent. For any expenditures over the $55, he will be charged 100 per cent.
Weintraub Stickers Topic
In its meeting Friday afternoon, the Board of Publications will recommend to the Senate how-much to fine AMS presidential candidate Ron Weintraub for placing stickers on Page 1 of the Daily Trojan last Wednesday.
Miss Haase said that the Election Bylaws have nothing covering the sticker innovation, and the Committee has asked the Board for suggestions. The Bylaws could only hold him for marring univer. srty property. It may be decided that Weintraub will have to pay the usual DT advertising rate for the two-colored sticker.
Committee to report fines
“The Committee will meet before the next Senate on May 25 to make up a complete list of fines,” said Miss Haase. “Along with the statement of charges, we will enclose a detailed report on the reasons for the fines.”
The Elections Investigating Committee is composed of five members of the Senate. This year’s members are Patti Tremel- -en. Jerry Baker. Jack Kyser, Bob Halderman, and Miss. Haase. This group has no connection with the Elections Commission which I is appointed by the president.

Orientation Course Faces Formal OK
The Curriculum Committee will meet at 2:15 this afternoon to give final consideration to the proposed orientation program.
At a meeting several weeks ago, the committee gave the course a tentative OK on the basis that certain recommendations and reservations be carried out.
Thp committee, composed of over 20 faculty members appointed by President Fred D. Fagg Jr. must review all proposed courses and make recommendations tothe president.
If formally approved today, the course would begin next Fall. It would be a non-credit, required course for all freshmmen during either semester of their freshman year.
Tuesday, Thursday Classes
The course would be conducted once a week. Classes would be held on Tuesday and Thursday at noon in Bovard. The course would consist of 15 or 16 separate lectures, each by a different professor or administrator.
The course ftould be divided into three phases—(1) study hab-
its; (2) the history, traditions, development, and financial condition ot the university; and (3) job opportunities after graduation and SC’s distinguished alumni.
The idea for the course on orientation was first proposed two years ago at the Idyllwild conference. At that time it was passed unanimously by a committee of students and faculty and since it has been worked on and developed by the ASSC Senate until it was ready for submission to the Curriculum Committee.
Van Alstyne Absent
ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne, one of the primary instigators of the course, will not be present at today’s meeting. He will be in San Francisco to attend the Model UN and the NSA National Convention.
“I am extremely hopeful it will be approved,” Van Alstyne said. Dean Strevey (Dean Tracy E. Strevey, chairman of the Curriculum Committee) has bc?n very encouraging and the Committee most receptive to the proposed course.”
