COMPLETE SUCCESS'
Chairman Lauds Opening Of International House
The opening of the International Student House Friday night was “a complete success.” Ken Katz, publicity chairman for the project, said yesterday.
Katz said refreshments, a twist contest and a limbo exhibition ail contributed to a congenial and amiable atmosphere for both American and foreign students.
Several members of the faculty attended, including Dean of Students Dr. William H. McGrath.
Dr. William O’Neill, faculty adviser- for the house, also attended. He said he hopes for
greater faculty support in the future.
Katz noted that a large part of the credit for the success of the center must go to more than 125 fraternity pledges who worked on the old fraternity house.
He explained the new appearance of the International Students House belies its stormy past. The house was once the Acacia fraternity house and was sold to the university when the local chapter was forced to disband.
Soon it will be leased to the International Student House
Economics Thesis Reveals Bank Role
ings banks in five Eastern states hiked their Los Angeles metropolitan area mortgages holdings more than $640 million between 1950 and 1960.
According to Dr. Cox, these banks’ holdings of loans se cured by Los Angeles metropolitan properties rose from a modest $8 mililon base in 1950 to $250 billion by 1955, $500 billion early in 1958. and approximately $660 billion by the end of 1959.
This latter amount constituted about 6% of total institutional mortgage holdings, as (determined in the study.

The extensive but little-known role of Eastern mutual savings banks in Los Angeles metropolitan area mortgage lending d^ing the 1950s was revealed yesterday in a 345-page doctoral thesis in economics prepared by a former USC graduate student.
Dr. John R. Cox, associate professor of finance at Los Angeles State College, disclosed in his thesis that mutual sav-
Brown Names Medicai Dean To Committee
ate dean of the School of Medicine, was appointed yesterday bv Gov. Edmund G. (Pat) Brow n to a seven-member committee to study the needs of postgraduate medical education programs in California.
The committee was created in 1962 by the state legislature, which also authorized $25,000 for the study. Brown said that the committee was developed because of a concern for helping practicing physicians keep abreast of new developments in medical science.
"The ultimate aim is to better programming and coordination of the courses so they will be of maximum benefit to the practicing physician and, as a result, to the public as a whole.” the Governor said.
Committee Members
Gov. Brown named Dr. Seymour Farber of San Francisco. assistant dean of the University of California School of Medicine, as chairman of the committee.
Other members of the committee include Joseph P. Con-sention M.D., president of California Osteopathic Association of Sacramento; Dr. William Norwood, assistant dean, Loma Linda University School of Medicine; Lowell Addison R a n t z M.D., associate dean, School of Medicine. Stanford University, Thomas Sternberg M.D., assistant dean at UCLA; and Dwight Wilbur M.D., editor of California Medicine of San Francisco.
The governor said a committee member representing the general public will be appointed later.
insurance companies and commercial banks—t h e three institutional banking groups which supplied more than 60% of the mortgage funds utilized in Los Angeles and Orange Counties during the 1950’s.
He said the rapid growth of savings and loan association lending is reflected in the findings that these associations increased their proportional share of the total of such institutional holdings from 36% to 46.3% during the four years from 1952 to 1956.
Association, which will operate and maintain the house. It will not be used as a residence, Katz said.
The refurnished house will be a common meeting ground for the development of understanding between American and foreign students.
Coke and cigarette dispensers will be installed, and the center will soon take on the appearance of a ‘‘Grill on the Row,” Russ Decker, project co-chairman, said.
Katz said foreign students also seemed to have fun Friday night. They enjoyed the friendliness and facilities of the only student-operated international center in the country, he said.
The entire operation of the International House is under the supervision of students The house will be operated and its activities will be planned through the medium of com mittees co-chairmened by an American and a foreign student.
“Within the 14 committees involved with the center, many positions are still available to anyone interested in working with the foreign students,” Katz said.
Decker said the Row has apparently welcomed the International House to its midst. A large representation of Rowites was at the Friday night opening. Continued support of the project is hoped for by Decker.
“The first opening showed the extreme need for a common meeting ground and determined the success of the house,” Katz said. ‘The out look seems extremely positive,” he concluded.

Educator Stresses Audio-Visual Aids
Mechanical and audio-visual teaching aids can reduce the length of a student’s education, and also can increase the effective amount he learns, Dr. James D. Finn, professor of education, said yesterday.
Dr. Finn, head of the Technological Development Project of the National Education Association at USC, said at news conference yesterday that tests performed by his group have indicated the aids can reduce learning time appreciably.
“In one case a 6tudent was able to complete a semester’s course in plane geometry in just four weeks, and to finish with a high score, too,” he said.
‘Slower students, of course, may take longer. But when he finishes he will be sure to know the material,” Dr. Finn added.

IR School To Set Up Drive Booth
The School of International Relations yesterday set up a booth in front of the Student Union to encourage students within the university to formally become members of its student body.
IR President Ken Payne said the four-day membership drive would end Thursday at 2:30 with a program in 129 FH.
The program will include the introduction o f new officers and the members of the faculty, and will feature Dr. Melvin Sloan, assistant professor of cinema, who will present the second part of the film “Gibson’s First Post.”
The first part of the film tells the story of an IR alumnus who is now the immigrant-visa officer for the Department of State in Tijuana, Mexico.
The film was taken February when a crew under the direction of Dr. Sloan traveled to Mexico to obtain this story. The subject of the film, Steve Gibson, is a USC graduate.
Payne urged IR majors or other students wishing to be placed on the IR mailing list, to register at the table, which will be in front of the Student Union from 10 a.m. to noon, and from 1 p.m. t o 3 p.m. through Thursday.
The educator, who released a 125-page report that recommended higher investment in mechanical aids for education, said the widely heralded “technological revolution” in classroom teaching is not yet here.
“The trend (to use of teaching aids) has been very heartening in the past few years, but it still has been poor compared to the technological advances in other parts of the economy,” he said.
Takeoff Stage
“Right now we’re in a ‘takeoff’ stage,” he added.
The basic tools range from the relatively standard motion picture and film strip projectors to television and teaching machines that are programmed to help students study an entire course.
Dr. Finn said the report, one of a series of educational critiques published by the National Education Association, classifies the present educational system as “primitive.”
“Education is still at the level of ‘coolie labor,’” Dr. Finn said. Teachers must do a lot of clerical work and routine coaching that prevent them from giving the student individual. personal attention. Apple in Fall American education until very recently meant a blackboard, a portrait of Washington, a bust of Lincoln and maybe if the teacher were so inclined, a vase of flowers in the spring and an apple in the fall.
“Now, however, we are faced with the fact that there is a lot more to teaching and a lot more to teach about. We need this new equipment to short-circuit the gap between teaching methods and needs.”
The report, prepared by Dr. Finn with Donald G. Perrin and Lee E. Campion, claims total investment in basic audio-visual equipment in 1961 was about one-tenth of 1% of the total expenditure on public education in the United States, which was about $13.5 billion.
Dr. Finn said parents, who were expected to resist the introduction of mechanical teaching aids, have been enthusiastic in their acceptance of the devices.
By ALAN BINE Claims made by the common American in defense of his civil liberties and the respect and acceptance of his rights shown by high government officials was termed the “Hallmark of a free society” yesterday by an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) counsel
during a speech on campus.
A. L. Wirin, chief counsel for the ACLU in Southern California for the past 30 years, praised the federal government for its availiability as a useful tool in preserving rights of its citizens, while opening a new University Students Party-sponsored political speakers forum before more than 80 students and faculty members in Founders Hall.
The attorney, who contends that he holds the dubious distinction of most lost cases in the U. S. Supreme Court, cited Mississippi student James Mer-idith as a possessor of the kind of courage America needs to progress.
Behind Iron Curtain Wirin spent months defending a pair of intimidated Americana in Communist China and originally intended to gear his speech to this and other behind the Iron Curtain experiences.
“The current problem that has cropped-up in Mississippi could be more pressing to our worldwide image,” he said.
Then the civil liberties lawyer proceeded to discuss the implications he saw in Mississippi's turmoil.
Mississippi Kioto
“Practices o f racial discrimination like the one now raging at the University of Mississippi can’t be defended within a Democracy,” be insisted.
“It paints the ‘ugly American’ picture with justification.
Our enemies welcome the conflict over school integration as a propaganda weapon against us. Peiping and Moscow will play it up.
Students at Mississippi are the least at fault,” he explained. ‘The riots and the deaths that have resulted, are the responsibility of the State’s officials.
“The kind of courage Meri dith is displaying is vital to the progress of the country in breaking down the barriers of supposed inequality.”
Cal Student
Along the same line. Wirin mentioned a University o f California at Riverside student that showed a less extreme but just as important example of courage in an attempt to get the university’s permission for a campus speaking appearance of Lloyd Wright, an ultra conservative Republican and Dorothy Healy, head of the Communist party in California.
“UCR’s John Lessen courageously took his case to court after California's Board of Regents turned him down,” Wirin said.
"Courage to do something like this is non-existent in na-
