The Vietnam Moratorium Committee’s funeral march on campus this morning will begin an extended weekend of vigils, rallys and canvassings, locally and nationwide for the purpose of protesting the Vietnam war.
“Efforts are going to be more centralized than last month’s moratorium,” Dennis Thompson, committee spokesman, said yesterday. “The nitty-gritty of the committee is reaching people. We plan to do much more canvassing and distributing of leaflets.”
Thompson said the committee is playing down requests for
The master plan for redevelopment of the campus is causing a few problems of relocation for departments scheduled to lose their building.
The Occupational and Physical Therapy Departments, Linguistics Department, Aerospace Safety and Management Institute, are all to be relocated because the annex building, in which they are housed, will be destroyed to make way for new athletic and recreational facilities.
The annex was built in 1946 as an emergency measure to accommodate returning war veteran students. It was built in 90 days and was only to be a temporary structure.
“It’s these temporary structures that are the most difficult to get rid of,” Anthony Lazzaro, director of campus development, said.
The building will not be demolished for about another year and a half. It is hoped that a solution will be found to the problem of relocation of the departments.
“The building will not be torn down unless we first have found somewhere to relocate
COFFEE HOUR AT 3 TODAY
“Is Teaching Important Anymore?” will be the topic of an informal discussion by students, faculty members and administrators at the Stu-dent-Faculty coffee hour today at 5 p.m. in the Faculty Center.
After a presentation of the topic, the chair will be open to discussion on an individual or group basis.
The first coffee hour last month was primarily attended by administrators with very little student participation. Linda Smith of the Special Program Office hopes that more students will attend this coffee hour.
Free coffee, punch and cookies will be served.
students to boycott classes today.
“We’re encouraging students to participate in the funeral,” he said. “If that entails missing their classes, it’s a decision they are going to have to make.” Thompson is optimistic about the second war moratorium.
“I think the participation will be just as great as last month,” he said. “Especially because it follows Nixon’s speech which tended to polarize the American people.”
The funeral procession will leave the Religious Center at
11	a.m. and will arrive at
the existing departments,” Lazzaro said.
Miss Harriett Zlatohlavek, chairman of the Department of Occupational Therapy, feels her department will not have the funds for relocation. She explained that because the department is small, there is a relatively limited number of alumni available to support the department through donations.
She also said that the majority of the alumni are women, and they go into professions where their salaries do not allow them to contribute as much as the alumni of other schools.
“We’re just hoping someone will come through with the money and another building,” Miss Zlatohlavek said.
Along with this annex, the Operations and Maintenance Building, Central Receiving, and four or five houses will also be torn down.
Within the next five or six weeks, new tennis courts will be built to replace those across from the physical education building. The old courts are going to make way for the new athletic building, Heritage Hall.
The land the annex is on is needed for new athletic facilities because the Bovard Field area is planned as the site for the new performing arts center.
Lazzaro said the departments iiiost related to the academic program of the school should be centered in the heart of the campus.
“The athletic field was first built on the periphery of the campus, but with the expansion of the school, it is now almost in the center,” he said.
Lazzaro compared the execution of the master plan to a game of continual placement and displacement. He explained how the performing arts will displace the athletic field, and then in turn, the athletic field will displace the occupational and physical therapy and other departments.
Until completion of the master plan, some portion of the campus will be in constant relocation or displacement, Lazzaro said.
Alumni Park at approximately 11:30.
A litany, a participation prayer, will be read at the park service. Clergymen will speak, a list of the California war dead will be read, and copies of Buffy Saint-Marie’s “Universal Soldier” will be passed out.
State moratorium coordinator Steve Schmidt, clergymen, and professors will speak afterwards in the open forum area.
Friday, the committee will get down to their “nitty-gritty” by canvassing the Los Angeles community. Thompson asks interested participants to come to the Religious Center at 1 p.m.
Thompson also announced that round-trip bus tickets to Saturday’s rally in San Francisco can be purchased Friday in front of Tommy Trojan for $7.50.
The bus leaves Friday at 10 p.m. from the Religious Center and returns 5 a.m. Sunday.
A number of local activities are scheduled. Congressman George Brown, Communist Dorothy Healey and more than 20 other speakers will participate in the UCLA Open Forum which runs today and tomorrow.
A Peaceful Festival will also be held at UCLA tomorrow from noon to 2 p.m.
Already in progress at Cal State Dominguez is the Peace Renaissance Fair, which will run through Friday.
Loyola students will hold a vigil tomorrow and hear speakers.
A candlelight rally is planned for tonight at Rancho Park in West Los Angeles. Folksinger Phil Ochs will entertain.
MacArthur Park will be the site of t Saturday rally, scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. A number of speakers including the Rev. Ralph Abernathy of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference are expected to attend.
Peace project asks support
“Telegrams for Peace,” a group organized by television producer Hal Martin, is urging students to participate in its program.
The group is asking Americans to send telegrams supporting the cause of peace to Mrs. Martin Luther King in Washington, D.C. prior to Thanksgiving Day. On the eve of Thanksgiving, Mrs. King will present the messages to Presi-ent Nixon.
Students are also asked to attend a rally at Rancho Park Friday at 7 p.m. and to wear a white armband with “Telegrams for Peace” lettered in black.
The telegram project has the support of many national political and entertainment personalities, including Senators Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern, Paul Newman, Phyllis Diller and Candice Bergen.

“It’s so unbelievable,” was the reaction of Roberta Crescenti, 1969-70 Helen of Troy.
She was crowned last night at the pageant held at Town and Gown Foyer.
Roberta is a senior majoring in Spanish Education and minoring in music. She is a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority and is a song girl.
“I entered the contest without even knowing it. My sorority sisters took it upon themselves to submit ray name,” she said.
Roberta was selected as queen from 15 finalists, all of which had been through many interview sessions.
She plans to use her Spanish major to unite Mexican-Ameri-cans and Caucasians. She also plans during her reign to help unite all groups on campus.
“I think USC is a fine school, but I do think it needs to be more unified among the student body. I feel that with my new position, I will be more able to complete this goal.”
This is the first year a pageant had been held to select the Helen of Troy. The pageant was complete with a search light scanning the sky outside the Town and Gown Foyer. USC’s Red Coat band played popular music during the contest.
Each finalist made a walk down the red-carpeted runway which extended from the stage through the center of the audience.
All the contestants did the same modern dance routine to a Tijuana Brass recording.
Each girl also spoke individ-
ually to the audience as part of the competition. The speeches ranged from describing their goals in life to what education meant to them.
There were four runners-up for the Helen of Troy. The first runner-up was Gayle Stevens, Kappa Kappa Gamma and the second runner-up was Susan Link, Kappa Alpha Theta. The third and fourth runners-up were Chris Collins and Gayle Lensing, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Phi Beta Pi sororities, respectively.
FORMER QUEEN TO BE ON TV
Cynthia Watson, the 1968 Helen of Troy, will appear at 7:30 tonight on NBC’s Daniel Boone show.
Miss Watson has a small role, but she will be in excellent company. Guest stars for the evening are Roosevelt Greer, Caesar Romero and Jimmy Dean.
This episode deals with a planned Spanish invasion of the United States, and has a solid historical background. “This is one of the season’s strongest shows,” Barney Rosenzweig, producer, said.
Since her graduation in )une, Cynthia has had other television jobs and various modeling engagements. As a result of her title of Helen of Troy and her television exposure, she has been chosen as the 1969 queen of the Watts Christmas Parade.
