enough to be judged a classroom.
“I have seen students holding a ‘class’ in the basement of a church, but I would not call this a legitimate classroom.” he explained.
He said Goldwater's views, which were aired before a Senate labor and public welfare subcommittee, were probably based on these statistics, which over-estimated the number of adequate classrooms.
Goldwater said the state and local school districts have been meeting education needs but the office of education refuses to recognize it,
“I have come to one conclusion.” the senator said. "The office of education will not allow the alleged classroom shortage to be overcome.”
Baja Croup Will Take USC Tour
Twenty-five Baja California students from the Auto-monous University in Tijuana will :be the guests of the School of International Relations1 today for a day-long tour of the campus and Civic Center facilities.
The group, composed of 20 men and five women, will be accompanied by Harold Ei-sier, vice consul of the American consulate in Tijuana.
A coffee hour, hosted by Sigma Gamma Sigma, the international relations sorority, will be given in their honor beginning at 10 a.m. at the YWCA. They will be greeted by Hector J. Orci, ASSC international relations senator, and then taken on a tour of the campus.
Dr. Paul Hadley, associate professor of international relations, will talk to the students at a noon lunch to be held in the upstairs commons dining room.
In the afternoon they will be given the opportunity to visit the public administration offices in the Civic Center.
Ken Payne, past international relations president who helped organize the program, explained that “the purpose of the visit is to help these students establish contact with an American university and meet American students.”
Atomic War
Dr. Paul Saltman, associate professor of biochemistry, will discuss “Human Conscience and Nuclear War” at 12:15 today at the Presbyterian-Episcopal Center, 854 W. 34th St.
Anyone can be against atomic bombs, but to be effectively against them one must take action, Dr. Saltman said yesterday.
“I will discuss possible avenues of action and their ef fectiveness.” he explained.
These avenues could include peace walks, picketing with “ban the bomb” banners, writing letters to congressmen or making speeches to influence public opinion, he said.
It is important to discuss and analyze the possibility of nuclear war, for many adults have completely dismissed the possibility of such a war, Dr. Saltman added.
A recent survey showed that 70 per cent of those questioned refuse to even contemplate the possibility of a nuclear war.
Dr. Saltman maintained that people must become acquainted with the problem, educate themselves about it and then consider possible solutions.
The greatest difficulty, however, is getting people concerned. Dr. Saltman said.
People should worry about this, and do what their conscience dictates, he added.
School Plan To Be Told
Dr. D. Lloyd Nelson, professor of educational administration. will discuss “Financing and California Public Schools” today at noon at the Faculty Center luncheon.
He will explain the California school’s basic financing plan.
Past assistant county superintendent of schools in charge of business and finance. Dr. Nelson will also explain the proposed plan to change the tax allowing for education appropriations to a county tax.
Blue Key Will Discuss
Entry Dispute
i
Men to Consider New Applications During Meeting
By VIRGINIA BODIN
Members of Blue Key will meet tomorrow to rehash last week’s meeting that caused eight members to threaten to walk out of the organization because of a dispute over the means of selecting new members.
Blue Key President Dann Moss said a tapping of additional members might result from the meeting, originally scheduled for today.
The dissenters last week demanded that another meet ing be called to vote again on names of men deleted by a four-man selection committee because they felt four members were not represent ative of the entire group. Majority Rules Moss said he would go along with whatever the ma jority of the men’s honorary wanted to do.
“I will abstain from voting as I did before,” he said. “The president should not influ ence the entire group.” Former International Relations President Ken Payne, spokesman for the dissenting members, said their complaint still stands as before.
“We want to start the whole thing over from scratch,” he explained. “Moss wants to wait until next semester to do anything about it.”
Moss reported after talking with several dissenting
members that “these people are not bolting the society, as many people seem to think.” Rejection Powers
He complained about statement made concerning the rules allowing rejection powers by the four-man selection committee.
He said the rules had not been “lost,” which could be verified by Dr. Totten J. Anderson, adviser to the organization in 1959.
The dissenters had complained that the by-laws in question had not been used since that time.
Members of the dissenting group are ASSC President Ken Del Conte, former ASSC President Bart Leddel, IFC Adviser Jess Hill, outgoing Senior Class President Skip Hartquist, Daily Trojan Editor Hal Drake, Daily Trojan City Editor Dan Smith, former Social Studies Sen. Lynn Rehm and Payne.

Troy Cyclists to Celebrate Bike Month Inauguration
More than 1,500 USC cy-
clists will continue an 8-year-old fad today by helping to celebrate the May Day inauguration of American Bike Month.
The bicycle fad at Troy began in 1955 when the Daily Trojan sponsored a “Bike Week” in an effort to popularize campus cycling as year-round transportation.
Students living on the Row assembled at 28th Street and University Avenue for a caravan movement, which traveling time on bicycles from the Row to campus at four minutes flat.
Week’s Campaign During the week Daily Trajan columnists carried out an all-out campaign to promote the idea.
Although the campaign was not entirely successful, the following year, when 36th Street and University Avenue were closed to automobiles, the bicycles became more and more popular out of necessity for a parking space, rather than only a fad.
USC is not alone in its cycling craze. A recent survey of 40 colleges and universi-
ties indicates there are three
bikes for every four students at such schools as the University of Michigan, Smith, Princeton. Vassar, Stanford and Florida.
More than 2 million college students ride bikes each day, while even more elementary and high school students ride two-wheelers to school. Healthier America Bike industry leaders have dedicated American Bike Month to a “healthier and set more physically fit” America, supporting fitness programs instituted by the President’s Council on Physical Fitness, the National Education Association and the American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation. Hike Substitute The Bicycle Institute of America. sponsoring Bike Month, endorses bike-riding as a substitute for the prescribed 50-mile hikes for achieving “vigah.”
They also noted that from 500 to 600 calories are burned up in an hour of moderate cycling.
Former President Eisenhower often advised children
visiting the White House to “ride their bikes more.”
His personal heart physician. Dr. Paul Dudley White, said he would like to put everyone on bikes as a regular routine for a healthier heart.
Dr. White, who follows his own advice and still rides a bike, is 78 years old.
With more than 30 million bikes on the road this year, more than 55 million Americans are peddling bikes for transportation and fun.
Bike-racing is also at an all-time peak of popularity in America. More than two dozen colleges will field bike teams for this year’s intercollegiate program.
Barr Attempt
Social Studies Sen. Dennis Barr said yesterday that he will make a bid for the presidency tonight.
Barr protested that he had not received a postcard announcing the meeting, as has been customary.

Trojans appear to be about evenly divided in their attitudes toward Gov. Brown's proposed four-year moratorium on the death penalty in California, an informal poll indicated yesterday.
Forty per cent of those polled supported Brown's campaign for reasons ranging from confidence in psychiatry to attribution of guilt for crimes to society as a whole.
Another 40 per cent opposed the governor’s plan. Their reasons ranged from religious beliefs to political opposition to Browm.
The remaining 20 per cent were undecided.
Among those who had an

freshman in political science, who contended capital punishment ignores the fact that a person’s environment may be wholly to blame for the crime he has committed.
“Take the example of an illegitimate child brought up in a house of 14,” Kaplan suggested. “It was not his fault he was even born; if you punish anyone it must be everyone—society. The improvement of society is the only answer.”
Kaplan said although his own religion does not dictate opposition to the death penalty, he opposes it for its conflict with religious principles.
David Farr, a senior in the School of Business, expressed displeasure with the Brown proposal on the grounds that
