Senator-at-large Bob Gerst, a potential candidate for AMS president, made overtures to the party through a letter which Masuda read at the meeting.
Filled Gap
In the letter, Gerst congratulated Masuda for forming a new party which filled the gap created by the present TRG one-party monopoly. He also indicated that he might be interested in joining MSG.
Membership petitions were read and it was interesting to note three members of Gerst’s fraternity, Tau Epsilon Phi, were ■among those applying to the party. Others making applications were three from Delta Sigma Phi and one Phi Kappa Tau. What this may mean in the future can only be guessed.

By Darlene Hall *Daulat Masuda. foreign* students’ representative, yesterday commended the ASSC Senate and President Bill Van Alstyne for their work in promoting the American-foreign students’ program this year.
Masuda made his statement in response to Jagat Bhatia’s DT interview yesterday.
Bhatia said ASSC officers do not keep in contact with the foreign students, which is a poor policy considering that the 700 foreign students on campus represent a great number of potential votes and could influence an election.
Masuda pointed out that only 100 foreign students voted in ■‘he last ASSC election, and that only 6 of the 25 members in the International Students’ Council are active.
Apathy Exists
“There is apathy on the part of the foreign students even in the Intercultural Club, which has only 100 members of the 700 total,” Masuda said.
Masuda upheld the Senate and president when he enumerated the past year’s legislative and individual actions benefiting foreign students.
Charlie Barnett, DT editor; Jerry Blankinship, AMS president; Edith Anderson, Fanhell-enic president; and Van Alstyne have each made a special effort
DUALAT MASUDA
. . . praises ASSC
to attend foreign student programs this semester, Masuda said.
Further legislation to help the foreign students came this year in the form of a Senate amendment which allows the foreign student representative to be a graduate student. This was beneficial because many of the foreign students are doing graduate work.
Plans In Progress
PTflns are in progress now to begin building an International
Plouse on campus and to sponsor a Foreign Students’ Day on | May io.
Further statements made by Bhatia included his five suggestions to improve the foreign students’ situation.
Number one was to provide the foreign students some seats on the Senate on the basis of their number.
Masuda felt that the foreign students had sufficient representation with the one representative on the Senate. He suggesed that the 700 potential voters might put up their own candidate for other ASSC offices, if they felt the need for more people on the Senate.
Secondly Bhatia said that sororities and fraternities should be ! opened to them.
Another Suggestion
Number three suggestion was that the foreign students should not be considered merely as foreign students, but as Trojans.
Fourth point was that a special Senate committee should be set up to help orient all new foreign students to the American campus life and get them acquainted with the American way.
Bhatia also wanted the president of the Intercultural Club, which he claims is the hub of the foreign students’ organization. to be a non-voting member of the Senate.

These carvings have been assigned as manual dexterity tests for freshman dental students since 1929.
Bet Santa Anita

Collections will be taken on Tuesday and Wednesday in 9 and 10 a.m. classes. University College and Civic Center 7 p.m. classes also will be asked for donations Fraternity and sorority collections have already begun.
The Mr. Trojanality contest opens on Wednesday and continues through Friday. Candidates will he voted cn at 25 cents a vote. Four men have announced their candidacy: Jerry' McMahon, Bob Gerst. Steve Robertson, and Ron Weintraub.
Destrov Buggy
“Blast the Buggy.” based on the premise that neople like to destroy ithings. will feature the demolition of an o'd «»r at noon Wednesday.
Things will become a bit more serious Wednesday evening when the junior class presents the Trojan Choraliers in “Broadway on Review” at 8 in Bovard Auditorium. Recent Broadway 6ong hits will be featured.
Classroom collections will be continued on Thursday.
Mr. Trojanality will be crowned during a dance Friday night at the Westport Beach Club in Playa Del Ray. The dance will be named “Brando’s Brawl,” according to Nace. “It’s ‘On the Waterfront,’ ” he says.
“We hope to reach our goal of $6000. which is $2000 more than collected last year, through these, and many more, activities.” Nace said.
Trojan Hurt In Accident
Harold Murdock. sophomore commerce major, received a concussion Wednesday night in an accident near Glendale. He is now in the Cetinella Valley Hospital.
Murdock reportedly fell and hit his head against a truck in the Glendale area and was rushed to the Physicians’ and Surgeons’ Hospital there. He was then removed to the Centinella Hospital.
“He is doing very nicely and is being kept in the hospital for safety measures only,” his doctor said.
Civil Defense Meeting Held With Fire Official
Bob Gerst, senator-at-large and chairman of the campus Civil Defense Committee, and his committee met yesterday with Capt. Marx C. Scott of the L.A. Fire Department to continue the campaign to improve civil defense conditions at SC.
“The purpose of the meeting,” said Shirley Harwood, CD committee member, "was to discuss disaster prevention and survival preparations both on the Row and on campus.
SC Lacking
Other schools, such as UCLA, have extremely well - organized and successful civil defense programs. This is not tne case at SC however, according to Gerst.
“SC is completely helpless in case of a natural disaster or atom bomb attack due to the lack of proper civil defense education,” said Gerst.
The committee plans to get
leaders of the Row and campus groups, plus faculty members to coordinate in an effort to improve the civil defense program.
Previews Meeting
Captain Scott had previously met with the UCLA committee and had a two-hour discussion session with each house, showing them fire and disaster prevention tactics.
Each housing group at UCLA now has its own disaster-pre-paredness plan and the entire campus seems altered to civil defense.
It is felt that one of the main problems will be to overcome the student apathy toward civil defense that now exists.
“We hope that our committee will be able to stir up the students and that the people of the area will follow our example,” Gerst said.
