'Both Pachacamac, PSGL Stronger After Party Split'
Caldwell, Ong Predict Established Organizations Will Benefit
Political leaders of Pachacamac and the Progressive Students Governing league registered no alarm today over the formation of the new Progressive party. In fact, both forces predicted the third group would strengthen their own positions.
The new party, headed by Donald Pomeroy, was created yesterday when six fraternities separated from Pach-
Vesper Offering Hits New High
Contribution from this year's School of Fine Arts vesper services totaled $770 highest since 1939 when the services began, Dean D. M. Swarthout said today.
Income from the wespers goes into a student loan fund to be administered by the fine arts faculty. Awards are usually made in the spring "to needy and talented students." Dean Swarthout said.
Cno-third of the fund ordinarily goes to art students and two-thirds to music students.
The reason for the difference in apportionment is because "music students have extra lesson fees which art students do not have," he explained.
Amounts allotted to each student on a scholarship vary according to need and number of applicants, Dean Swarholt declared.
"Sometimes as much as $75 is awarded in a single grant, but they usually are $50." he continued.
Since beginning operation in 1939 with two vesper services which netted the fund $291, totals for previous years are as follows:
In 1940 with two services, $137;
in 1941 with one service, $249.62;
in 1942 with one service, $196.10;
in 1943 with one service, $353.74;
in 1944 with one service, $392.75;
and $446.28 at one service in 1945.

it was created yesterday when six fraternities separated from Pachacamac.
Donald Ong, Pachacamac president, said today, "We will be stronger rather than weaker, now that the subversive elements have left us."
"In my opinion, P.S.G.L. is pretty well finished on the campus if the new party is at all active, and the spring elections will leave only two parties, Pachacamac and the Progressives," he added.
George Caldwell, P.S.G.L. president, had a different view of the effect of the third party on P.S.G.L.'s future. Said he:
"Such a split can serve only to injure the chances of the Greeks, and will prove very beneficial to the united independent forces. We are, and shall remain, the independent men's party, and shall continue to promote progressive and constructive policies on the hill."
The F.S.G.L. senate, Caldwell added, is 96 per cent independent. Of the 51 seats, only two are held by Beta Theta Pi, the only fraternity in the party, he said. Sixty per cent are men not in organized houses, he said.
David Someroy. Progressive president, thought today that his party could operate without infringing on copyright or Pachagaum. His statement:
"With nearly 9,000 students on the campus there is ample room for several parties, so I see no reason why the three-party system shouldn't work out fine."
The Progressives will meet soon after the holidays to complete their organization and campaign plans, he said.
Earl Stanton, Pachacamac campaign manager, sounded the keynote of the forthcoming elections when he said, "Pachacamac feels that in a sense she has been betrayed, but we hope that the men we elected to the All Student council will continue to support the party, at least until the next election."
Engleman Appoints Dispute Committee
Howard Engleman, All-Student Council president, has appointed three students to serve on a committee to investigate the question concerning distribution of the student directory.
The committee will be composed of three students and two faculty members. Students serving are Anne Hodgson, and Clifford Reynolds.
Faculty members, as appointed by Dean Henry Werner, are Miss Martha Peterson and Dean J. H. Nelson.
Miss Peterson will be the committee chairman.
