ANDRE PHILIP TO DISCUSS DE GAULLE
Andre Philip, former French minister of finance, will discuss “De Gaulle and the Future of France” during a university convocation this morning at 11 in Bovard Auditorium.
All 11 a.m. classes will be canceled to enable students and faculty members to attend.
Philip is expected to discuss the urgent national problems France now faces. Dr. Norman V. Fertig, associate professor of international relations, said these problems will possibly include France’s burgeoning economy and the personality of French President Charles de Gaulle.
France’s economy is presently growing at a faster rate than any other European nation. Dr. Fertig noted that this rapid increase could possibly create serious problems on a national level for France.
The international relations professor also
pointed out the difficulties caused by the powerful personality of De Gaulle.
De Gaulle had brought a measure of stability to the French national scene, but the willfulness of his personality had created serious conflict both within France and with its allies, Dr. Fertig explained.
Another problem arising from De Gaulle’s personality, Dr. Fertig continued, is the question of who will succeed the French president when he leaves office.
Despite the controversial nature of De Gaulle’s character. Dr. Fertig believes that he is generally supported by the French people. The president of the Fifth Republic is not, however, popular outside of his own country, he added.
Other current French problems which Philip may possibly cover in his discussion are those
involving the nation’s liquidation of its colonial holdings.
Since France granted independence to the remainder of its African colonies, Dr. Fertig said, the nation has had to adjust to its changed status in both economy and prestige.
He noted that the coincidence of rising economy and dying imperialism was a fortunate one for the French peace of mind. France’s recent monetary success could fill the void left by the passing of colonial imperialism, the internationalist believes.
Another consoling feature in France’s liquidation of its colonial holdings lies in increased French prestige, Dr. Fertig remarked. This advance, he pointed out, was due both to De Gaulle’s power policies and the removal of the stigma of imperialism.
Philip, a professor of economics at the University of Lyons before entering politics, was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1936'. The French economist was a resistance leader during the German occupation, eventually escaping to England. There he became General de Gaulle’s minister of the interior in the Free French government in exile.
Philip remained the minister of interior until France’s liberation. Upon returning to Paris, he became a member of the National Consultative Assembly and subsequently rose to the office of finance minister.
The former Lyons professor was also a delegate to the Council of Europe, and from 1951 to 1959 was a member of the National Economic Council of France.

A list of fall grade-point averages released yesterday indicated that the all-fraternity average and the all-men’s average are the closest since 1955.
Dr. Tracy E. Strevey, vice president for academic affairs, revealed the grade point averages last night at a family dinner of the Inter-Fraternity Mothers Club.
A differential of .0647 between the all men’s average of 2.481 and the fraternity average of 2.4194 was indicated by the lists. The differential in Spring, 1955, was .0620.
The slight differential tends to prove that participation in a fraternity does not have a negative effect on grades, Jess Hill, Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) adviser, said.
He also pointed out that the actives’ grade average (2.4959) was higher than the pledges because the actives are mainly upper classmen who are more accustomed to the university process of studying and testing.
Sharpest jumps in position were made by Phi Kappa Psi, with an increase of 13 places; Phi Kappa Tau, with an increase of 12: and Sigma Phi Delta, Lambda Chi Alpha and Sigma Chi, with increases of 11.
Tau Kappa Epsilon tumbled 19 places from eighth to 27th, and Alpha Tau Omega fell 18—from seventh to 25th.
Hill noted that 1,067 fraternity members’ grades were taken into account in figuring the average. Scores of 152 men were not used because they had more than three units of incomplete grades or because they took Jess than 12 units.
All men’s average included samplings of 780 men.
The fraternity averages:

The 70-voice concert choir will leave Los Angeles today on its annual Spring tour to give concerts in Fresno, the Monterey peninsula and Ventura areas.
Performances will be given for the North Fresno Rotary Club, Fresno City College and Reedly High School. The following day, two high school programs and a public concert will be held in Carmel’s Sunset Auditorium and in Ventura in the First Methodist Church.
Traditional Composers
Works included will be by such traditional composers as Palestrina. Haydn. Debussy and D i s 11 e r. Contemporary compositions by Healey Willan, Herbert Howells, William Schu-: man and Halsey Stevens, a member of the composition faculty of the USC School of I Music, will also be played.
In 1945, Dr. Charles C. Hirt organized the USC Concert Choir. He is head of the choral organizations department in the School of Music.
t-faculty
hours will be held today from 3 to 4:30 in Town and Gown Foyer.
Emphasis this week will be placed on the School of Education, but students and faculty from the physical education, geography, social work, sociology, journalism, telecommunications, drama and cinema departments are also urged to attend by Dr. Alfred C. Ingersoll, dean of the School of Engineering.	_, ,
Dr. Ingersoll, coordinator of the program, said all members of the faculty and student body should try to attend.
“Even though the emphasis is placed each week on specific areas, the idea of the coffee hour is for all Trojans, faculty and students, to have a cb.ance to mix away from the classroom,” he said.
“This is a purely social get together for ‘chewing, guzzling and chatting’ and the largest turnout since the beginning of the series is expected,” Dr. Ingersoll explained. “At each coffee hour there have been 150 people present and we hope to top that record.”
The student-faculty program was first suggested at last year’s Student Leaders’ Dinner.
Deadline Draws Near For Battle Columns
Group Director
Dr. James Vail, assistant professor of church music, has directed the group since 1961. He is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and holds master of music and doctor of musical arts degrees from USC.
Last season the Concert Choir presented 14 concerts in the Southland, both on and off campus. The season was climaxed by the performance of Bach's St Matthew's Passion.
Battle column statements for the special elections edition of the Daily Trojan will not be accepted after tomorrow at 5, Ponchitta Pierce, assistant to the editor, said yesterday.
“Unlike the Elections Commission, the Daily Trojan will make no exceptions to the deadline,” Miss Pierce said. “We cannot extend our deadline beyond this date and still publish the edition on Wednesday, the first day of elections,” Miss Pierce noted.
Candidates should turn in political statements to Miss Pierce in 432 SU. Presidential statements are limited to 150 words and all others to 75 words.
“Battle statements” must be typed and double-spaced and they should carry the candidate’s name, office he is seeking, address and phone number.
Students wishing to have a photograph appear with their statements may submit their own glossy print or make arrangements with photo editor George Rosenberg in 420 SU, Ext. 620, for a Daily Trojan photographer to take their picture.
A $5 fee will be charged for processing and printing all mad<? payable to the Daily Trojan.

Candidates to Talk
Presidential candidates Ken Del Conte and Hal Stokes will each speak four to five minutes and will be available for questions afterward. Other aspirants may talk for three minutes.
The elections ballot was lengthened yesterday as two new hopefuls for yell king. Bob Bach and C. H. Rehm. announced their candidacies.
! They were selected last Thursday to be members of the five-man 1963-1964 yell-leading squad.
| Bach, in his third year as a yell leader, said he proposed a larger variety of yells at football games and favored more competitive and responsive yells between rival rooters at games.
‘No. 1’ Team “Next year USC will still be ‘No. 1,’ and we should also have a ‘No. 1’ rooting section,” he added.
His opponent, Rehm, emphasized an improvement in rallies as well as an increase in pregame rallies. He also advocated more novelty in yell-leading and improved half-time shows.
“I also think there is a need for more activities to generate student interest,” Rehm said.
Trade Charges Of Inefficiency
By DAN SMITH Daily Trojan City Editor
ASSC presidential candidates Ken Del Conte and Hal Stokes locked horns in the first official meeting of their campaigns last night and each ended up charging that the other had not fulfilled the duties of his office.
A responsive crowd of an estimated 200 students in Marks Hall attended the debate, which both candidates agreed beforehand would be on “specific issues,” to hear what became of a four-pronged attack on Stokes’ organization of the AMS, Del Conte’s attendance at Senate meetings, the Inadequacies of their respective platforms and the role of student government.
Del Conte led into the issue of failure to fulfill duties by maintaining that Stokes had only fulfilled “about a third” of the promises he made last year in campaigns for AMS president.
He insisted that Stokes had not established a men's service organization as he had promised and said the proposed cooperation between the AMS and the AWS was “questionable.” Del Conte added that Stokes also had not incorporated foreign students in the AMS Cabinet, as promised.
Stokes replied to Del Conte’s charges by explaining that his cabinet was preparing the groundwork for a freshman men’s service organization that will be established in fall 1964. He said Freshman Class President Paul Hackett was doing the organization work.
The AMS president said he and AWS President Pris Holbert had worked together to enable the two student groups to co-sponsor several activities this semester.
Dean Gives Row Report
The actions of two USCiand possibly coeds involved in a two-car col-j^e eveni-lision on 28th Street during a water fight March 1 will be used as points in the universi ty’s case during upcoming litigation, Dean of Students William H. McGrath said yesterday.
Dr. McGrath, reporting to the Faculty Senate on his office’s investigation of the incident, said he had “a lot of very interesting evidence” about the actions of the coeds —Marie Valas, 18, a University College student, and Eva Zahedi, 18, an exchange student — shortly before the accident.
participating in| better than now," and cited reports from police and fire officials to that effect. He pointed out that the incident was the first auto accident on the Row in four years.
The car driven by Miss Zahedi later collided with a car carrying two non- university women. Police reported Miss Zahedi and her car had been hit by about 40 water bombs prior to the accident.
Dean McGrath would not ela borate on the facts he said his office has gathered, explaining he expects them to be used in the university’s defense when litigation begins.
Dr. McGrath told a largely sympathetic Senate that steps have been taken and additional steps will be taken to see that such events are “suppressed” in the future.
The statement was supported by Dr. Russell Caldwell, associate professor of history, who told his fellow senators that there has been “far more university conduct” on the Row this year than in any of the previous years that he has lived near the area.
He indicated that the situation on 28th Street would be less complicated if the street were not used by the general public.
“We do not condone such “I don't think the general The remark came in response ¡activities,” he said. “But to say to a question from a faculty ¡we will eliminate them entirely

Stokes claimed that he had not been able to include foreign students on the AMS Cabinet because cabinet representation was limited to particular organized groups. He said he would like to see the AMS Constitution amended so that foreign students would be permitted on the cabinet.
The “lack of fulfillment” charge was hurled back at Del Conte when Stokes said Del Conte, a humanities senator, had attended only one ASSC Senate meeting this semester and had authored only one bill, which L	called	for the establishment of a fruit and juice
