Special praise was given to the women’s page, edited by Susie McBee last fall. G. D. Hiebert, the judge who rated the Trojan, said it is the “best I have seen in any college daily.”
The Diamond Jubilee homecoming edition was excellent, according to Hiebert. He also said the coverage of the Stanford and Notre Dame games were well-written “but a little prejudiced.”
“Mark Time,” written by Mark Thoreson, was called “one of the best campus columns by Heibert.
He said he liked the “crisp headline writing” and the fast moving, yet smooth" writing style.
Editors for the fall semester were Charles Barnett, editor; Rodger Darbonne, managing editor; Gary Kreutz. city editor; Susie McBee, women’s: Carolyn McCoy, feature; Murray Brown, sports; and Bert Snow and Len Zagortz. co-photography editors.

Election campaigning at SC is a major production. It’s exciting and nobody on campus can miss its scope.
But we must take care that the posters, parades, gorillas, and burlesque queens don’t obscure the real significance of the election—the selection of student leaders to direct the vast program of student activities.
The student officers we elect this week have a tremendous responsibility in overseeing activities involving hundreds of organizations, thousands of students, and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The ASSC president and Senate supervise and select chairmen for such projects as

tournaments, plus poolside dancing to Latin music and general loafing are planned.
The beach, and all that goes with it, will provide an opportunity for seniors to look over their choices for a Senior Queen, who will reign over the Jubilee Ball.
Women who wish to enter the Queen contest should turn in a 8x10 photo to Harry Nelson’s office by Friday. The queen and two princesses will be chosen at the Jubilee Ball May 20. Judging will be done by Harry Nelson, Eddie Craig, and Allan Arthur.
Queen Contestants The eight who have already entered are Pat Broderick, Barbara Hasse, Joan Price. Patti Tremellan, Lauragene Woods, Joni Mannix, Pat Crawford, and Joan Savant.
Bids can be bought for $3.50 at a booth in front of the Student Union and at the door that night, and will go on sale the week before the Ball.
Scholastic Croup Invites Members
WTomen eligible to join Alpha Lambda Delta, women’s scholastic honorary, should turn their names into the Counselor of Women’s office by Friday, according to President Fenton Smith.
To be eligible, a woman must have received a 3.5 grade point in either or both of her freshman semesters, Miss Smith said. «
The Senate gives official resognition and permission to use campus facilities to special interest groups, and supervises the 400 groups whicih have already been recognized. The Board of Financial Control allots the $125,000 student activities budget and makes loans available for self-financing ventures by student groups. The ASSC Vice-President supervises the social activities of the Row and other social groups. Class and School or College officers administer extra - curricular activities for the students they represent.
These are only some of the jobs of student government, but they are enough to point up your responsibility to take the election seriously. Studj the qualifications and programs. Vote for those you believe will use the opportunity of student office to serve you.

Engineering Graduate Explains Science Role
Foreign Students Reminded to Vote

Future wars will be won by the nation with the greatest scientific knowledge, Trevor Gardner, assistant secretary of the Air Force, recently told a 50th anniversary luncheon of SCs School of Engineering.
Gardner, who was graduated from the SC School of Engineering in 1937, reecived an honorary degree of Doctor of Science from SC last Friday. He is in charge of research and development for the Air Force.
“If we, as a nation, achieve a real and demonstrative technical superiority over our potential enemies, a war need not happen at all,” he said.
Science Aids “We have shown that a scientific advantage can prevent war, he said. The great preserver of the peace since 1946 has been our possession of nuclear weapons and our capability of using them

But
s Not Hard, Not Easy, Pleasant, Teachers Say
A professor’s life might not be easiest in the world, but com-red with other fields, it can the most rewarding and satis-ying.
Such was the general opinion of T SC professors who wrere sked to comment on a story re-ently printed in a metropolitan aper saying that college profes-rs do not lead soft lives. ‘Actually, if one meets the ex-stations the university has set r its faculty, the 40-hour week industry becomes appealing by mparison.” the story quoted Dr. hn A. Perkins, president of the niversity of Delaware, as saying. Donald C. Cutter, assistant pro-
He enjoys conducting graduate seminars best because of the greater exchange of ideas, and because here, “the professor also learns.”
“It’s like woman’s work in that it s never done,” said Louis C. Wheeler, associate professor of biolog},'. The hours of preparation
most professors must teach during summer sessions to augment their relatively low incomes.” Mary E. Bennett, instructor in physical therapy, agreed that a teacher spends well over an 8-hour day. However, Miss Bennett said, to watch someone attaining

will be useful in the future is compensation enough.
“It doesn’t completely compensate for the lack of pay,” she said, “but it helps.”
Herbert E. Farmer, assistant professor of cinema, teaches only one night a week but the rest of his teaching day is more than filled with administrative duties.
He summed up the feelings of his fellow professors pretty well w'hen he said. “I enjoy teaching, otherwise I wouldn’t be in it.’*

In a case wrhere the course taught is relatively new or where audio visual methods are em-

any time,’ any place. When we had such an advantage, picking a fight with us was ‘plain foolishness.’
“Lately, since we are confronted with the fact of Russian possession of such weapons, our advantage is diluted,” he continued. “When they get a sufficient stockpile of nuclear bombs our advantage may disappear. I do not mean to imply that such a day will automatically trigger-off a Russian thermonuclear attack on our country. That would depend on many other factors.
Clear Course “The clear and urgent course for our country is to maintain technological superiority. When such an advantage is acquired and proven, we will have placed new control of our own fate in our owti hands,” he said.
“Three nations of the world have nuclear weapons, and one of them is ‘our potential opponent. He is working to overtake us in science. What will it be like when many nations have thermonuclear w’eapons and look at us from all points of the compass?
World Peace “What will our capability have to be to preserve our peace with the world? How far ahead of everybody should we be? In my opinion," he continued, “the safest margin is the widest margin. And that means a great deal more effort and a great deal more emphasis on technological progress.” Gardner added the Air Force research and development objective in the next five to 10 years is to make as much progress in science and technology as was done in the last 50 years.
Russia graduated 54,000 engineers in 1954 while only 19,000 Americans were graduating from engineering courses, Gardner said.
"The implication is clear.” he said. “We must encourage more people to choose scientific and technological pursuits to meet th^s serious challenge.”
voting representative on the Senate,” Mrs. Zech said.
Since there are more graduate foreign students than undergraduates, the voting rules for foreign students have been changed this year and graduates may vote. A graduate student is also running for the representative office.
“Both candidates for the foreign student office are well qualified,” Mrs. Zech said.
Ahmend Rafig, Pakistan, a sophomore in cinema, and Abdul Jallow, Iraq, a graduate student studying for, his master of arts degree in commerce, are the candidates.
Don Masuda, present foreigji student representative and chairman of the Mature Student Government Party, urged all foreign students to vote.
“This is our chance to disprove the charges of apathy that have been leveled against international students and show that we are active is an important liason to own clubs,” Masuda said.
Battle Column Rules Listed For Hopefuls

Plane 'Bombs' Troy Campus With Leaflets
Now they’re striking from the air.
Yesterday noon the campus air was literally filled with a flurry of politicking. Paul Mes-singer, president of the SC Flying Club and member of the Sigma Phi Delta Engineers, swooped over the campus in his light plane and dropped thousands of campaign leaflets endorsing house candidates in the coming elections.
Candidates include Bob Meads, senator-at-large; John Wilson, engineering president; John Watenpaugh, Junior Class president; and Syd Deem for veterans’ representative.
Of the many leaflets dropped, relatively few hit the campus. None hit target Tommy Trojan. Instead, strong air currents carried the papers toward the Row and beyond.
and trees, Committee Member Jack Kyser aaid yesterday.
With the three-day elections for top student body offices slated to start tomorrow, |--
the signs of campaign fever can be seen across the four corners of the campus in a rainbow array of cards and photographs.
Hundreds of posters have added to the heat of electioneering, as campaign managers and party workers have sprinkled the walks and building facades in both a legal and otherwise display of candidate material.
Candidates Know Rules “All candidates, however, know the rules, which were explained to them when the filed their pe-to them when they filed their pe-special meeting for office seekers and their campaign managers,”
Kyser said.
Besides the no posters on trees stipulation, Kyser explained that no campaign literature should be hung on the outside of buildings, nor anywhere inside the professional schools without that dean's permission.
$1 Fine
“Every poster out of place will cost the candidate $1, Kyser said.
After the election, the offenders will be billed by mail, proceeds going to- Troy Chest. No candidate will receive his semester’s grades until this money is paid.”
Other committee members include Barbara Haase, chairman:
Patti Tremellen, AWS president; and Jerry Baker, senior class president.
“In our personal ‘campaign’ w'hich started yesterday, there is a couple of top contenders for first place in fine collections,”
Kyser said, but refused to give their names. However he admitted that 10 infractions were discovered.
Members Travel Together In order not to raise a controversy over the fines that are administered, two members of the committee travel together. Whenever one member lists an offender’s name, the other serves as a witness.
When voting begins tomorrow, no posters will be allowed on display any closer to the booths than across the street from Alumni Park. Electioneering literature will not be permitted in the Do-henev Library Building nor on the island on University Avenue in front of the Park.
Speech Pentathlon Set for Weekend
Students from more than 15 universities will compete this weekend in the gruelling SC Pentathlon, the annual five-divi-sion speech tournament for developing all-around public speakers.
Inspired last year by Charles W. Redding, assistant professor of speech, the Pentathlon calls on each contestant to compete in all five major divisions of forensics.
These include debate symposium (a combination of debate and discussion), extemporaneous speaking, oratory, interpretive reading and after-dinner speaking.
The tournament will last Friday and Saturday. Registration starts at 10 a.m. in 133 FH.
Bob Croutch and Marguerite Cooper will represent SC in upper division. Maxine Karpman and Francine Sangor will compete- in lower division. Only four students are permitted to enter from each school.
The Pentathlon follows on the heels of a busy and successful debate squad schedule. Last Saturday, Daulat Masuda and Peter Synodis won four out of five debate rounds to gain second place laurels in the Regional Tau Kappa Alpha Tournament held at Occidental College.

2 Presidential Hopefuls Issue Final Day Bids
By Carl Strobel
Two tired men are making their last-minute bids for support today after a round of vote-getting speeches and appearances yesterday.
ASSC presidential candidates Jerry McMahon and Murray Bring, both worn by lack of sleep and the nervous strain of campaigning, made personal appeals to fraternities, sororities, and other campus groups. Dressed in suits and ties for the occasion, the men explained the ideas they hoped to promote in office.
Bring, speaking before the Greater University Committee, made an appeal to members not to vote purely on party lines, but rather on qualifications of the individual. •
TRG Monopoly
He told people on the row that TRG represents a one party monopoly that may conceivably come to exist only for tfte purpose of perpetuating itself.
“The fact that there are 18 uncontested offices in the election shows that TRG has such power that potential candidates are afraid or unable to buck it,” Bring said.
McMahon, meanwihle, reminded students of the administration's comment that student government doesn’t exist at SC.
Spoils System He emphasized active student participation in the Diamond Jubilee celebration and charged a “spoils system” in getting campus jobs which he said he hoped to eliminate.
McMahon’s speeches to the living groups in the evening climaxed a day that began at 6 a.m. when he got up to put up posters. Between classes he talked to a room-full of dental students and cadavers. He appeared on KUSC-TV at noon and visited the Greater U Committee, the Senior Council, and the Sophomore Council in the afternoon.
Hard Work McMahon said he has been working hard and losing sleep I he averages five hours a night) because he considers himself an underdog.
“I don’t believe that anyone in an election can consider hlmseir a favorite,” he said.
Brings schedule reads much the same except that this was his first taste of personal campaigning. Last week he attended a debate tournament in Moscow, Idaho (which he won) and several friends had to supervise the campaign.
Serve SC Better
“I feel I was better able to serve the university by representing SC in the tournament than by staying around campaigning,” Bring explained.
Several other candidates for minor offices also talked to the groups. Ron Weintraub, candidate for AMS president, told the Greater U that SC should have an' orientation day that is both interesting and entertaining. He injuries as a result of an auto 1 mentioned a program adopted at

“He’s the perfect man for the role of Dogberry,” Dr. Banks said, “and we’ll keep th« role open for him.”
Lillian Kim also entered debate at the national speech fraternity’s meet, w-hich included schools from Santa Barbara to San Diego. Pat Ford and Tom Heimberg competed in interpretive reading.
