Absences Unexcused
Bahrenburg said that there was
no excuse for the absences be
cause the chOge in the meeting
was announced. Leonard • Rich
ards, secretary-treasurer, tried to
contact the absent members 15
minutes after the meeting was to
begin but reported that they were
either out of town or involved in
other activities.
The members present consti
tuted a quorum—one over a ma
jority —but Bahrenburg said he
didn't think it was worthwhile to
hold the meeting.
These officers are enthusiastic
when they're elected, he said, but
when it comes to the end of the
year, their interest dies out.
"I've enjoyed working with
Cabinet," he said, "but I'll be glad
to get out of office—not as All-
University president, but because
of things like this."
Initallation Scheduled
Bahrenburg said that the new
Student Council presidents, sched
uled to be installed Thursday, will
now be installed March 28 with
the new All-University officers.
The agenda for Sunday's meet

Garcia Takes Over
Top Philippine Post
MANILA, March 18 (EP)—Solemn-faced Carlos P. Garcia
took the oath as the Philippines' fourth president tonight and
ordered a state funeral, and national mourning for President
Ramon Magsaysay.
Magsaysay, 49, hero of the young republic's fight to crush
the Communist Huk movement and establish a stable demo
cracy, died Sunday in a plane
crash. The country faced the pros
pect of election turmoil in the
choice of a new president next
November.
Garcia, 60, vice president and
foreign minister, had just re
turned from a Southeast Asia
Treaty Organization meeting in
Australia, when he raised his, l
hand and swore the oath in a brief
ceremony before Chief Justice Ri- 1
chardo Paras.

Garcia promised "to carry on
every item of the great political
program to which President Mag
saysay and the Nacionalista party
have given their all and their
best."
Garcia pledged his administra
tion would continue an uncom
promising fight against Commun
ism.
A veteran of 33 years in Con
gress, as governor of his home
province on Bohol Island and as
vice president, the stocky Garcia
is considered a strong proponent
of Magsaysay's pro-Western poli
cies.
Political chiefs agreed that the
loss of Magsaysay's strong leader
ship of his Nacionalista party in
the November elections could
throw the nation into turmoil.
Foregone conclusion
His renomination had been a
foregone conclusion. The Liberal
part y, floundering from two
crushing defeats, had even come
around to supporting him for re
election. Now it may put up a,
candidate of its own.
Four men had been mentioned
as Magsaysay's running mate. But
it remained to be seen whether
they would emerge as presidential
timber.
They include Garcia, an amiable
Nacionalista member of the Old
Guard, rated as having the inside
track for vice president.

A. cable blew out early yester
