Debate Team Wins Awards At Tourney
Trojan debaters won several “excellent” awards last weekend at the Pacific South west Collegiate Association of Forensics tournament a t Pasadena City College.
Three students reached the finals in the oratory contest. Michelle Gibbs won second place. David Kenner and Larry Stein each placed and won awards.
Barbara Taylor and Larry Stein reached the finals of the oral interpretation event. Stein received an “excellent” award for his prose and poetry theme on “Friendship."
Kenner also received an “excellent” in the extemporaneous speaking event.
Individual Events
“The debaters for the first time did not take part in debate. but instead concentrated on individual events as a matter of expanding their speaking abilities in other areas of communication. ’ said Francis Stefaneck, junior varsity debate Coach.
“This type of tournament affords the opportunity of concentrating on a singular type of speech as contrasted to the debate,” Stefaneck added.
John Deacon and Charles Marson lost last week at the West Point Elimination Tournament. They finished with 4 losses and 2 wins.
Dartmouth was the winner of the tournament, beating the University of Minnesota in the finals 5 to 2.
Four Teams
Deacon and Marson qualified for the tournament by losing only twice in nine rounds at the eliminations in San Francisco.
They went as one of four teams representing the West Coast. The other teams were Brigham Young, Loyola and San Diego State College.
Next weekend three debat ers will represent USC at the Long Beach State College Tournament of Peers.
year. Barring another unfor-seen dilemma, he will be making his second appearance as a Songfest judge a week from Saturday. He made his Songfest debut during the 1958 show.
120 Scores The prolific 64-year-old composer has written more than 120 scores for motion pictures including “Wild as the Wind,” “Friendly Persuasion,” “Giant” and “Dial M for Murder.”
His musical scores for (1954) and “The Old Man and the Sea" (1958) won Oscars. On 10 other occasions Tiomkin's music scores were nominated for awards by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Tiomkin, a naturalized citizen from Russia since 1937, gained his first distinction in this country by introducing French and Russian compositions. It was not long, though, before his attention turned to popular music.
Goodwill Ambassador The director-pianist became America's “goodwill ambassador for music” in the early 1930s when he gave Gershwin concerts in Europe.
Baxter has an equally impressive set of credentials. His credits include “Because of You,” “I Love Paris,” “Wake the Town and Tell the People,” “Ruby,” “The

Amazons, who are in charge of the booth, will be in front of the Student Union again today from 9 to 4 to answer queries and pass out circulars explaining the purpose and financial aspect of the referendum.
Many students wondered what the building would include, when it would open and who would have to pay the $2.75 a semester. But the most popular question v
Seniors Plan Unique Gift
One hundred members of the Senior Class have been in vited to attend a luncheon today at noon in Town and Gown to discuss a gift to the university, Senior Class President Skip Hartquist, an nounced yesterday.
The gift will be raised through pledged annual contributions.
Members of the class, attending the luncheon by invitation, will explore a unique class gift project which promises to be the biggest program any class has undertaken, Hartquist claimed. “The pledge cards, stating Poor People of Paris and annual contributions, are ex-“April in Portugal.	perimental, and, if successful.

why students have to pay for a new Student Union.
The answer, as explained by President Topping, is that if students do not approve the referendum they will have to wait for someone to donate the necessary sum.
How long this would take, you can never tell,” he noted. “But certainly we have no prospects in sight.”
At present, the Student Union has low priority on the Master Plan, and is far below priorities given to such academic goals as the Von KleinSmid Center for International Affairs, the Law Library and possible additions to Doheny Library.
Meeting Place
Stressing the present-day need for a place where students can meet informally, Dr. Topping said today's students have no place where they can go in between classes.
“When the present Student Union went up in the Twenties there was enough area to accommodate students’ needs,” he explained. “But as the university grew, the space was swallowed up.”
He added that with the expected increase in the number of students living on the campus, USC will definitely need a social and recreational ea.
“If students feel they need student union, I am sure they will be perfectly willing to vote for the referendum,” he explained.
September, 1965 Dr. Topping said if the referendum is passed, the Student Union would probably be completed by September, 1965. He estimated that it will take three months after the loan is secured for the architect’s concept of an addition and approval of it by the Board of Trustees.
Three more months will be necessary for preliminary drawings, another six for blueprints, 45 more days for bidding and finally about 12 to 18 months for construction.”
When the Student Union is completed, it will be open to all students, former ASSC President Bart Leddel said. There will be no admission charges.
He added, however, that only those students with ‘SU” on the back of their identification cards—indicating they were paying the fee would benefit from the reduced prices on entertainment to be provided by the special ‘entertainment fund.”
Order of the Palm To Be Presented
AMS will honor outstanding seniors, athletes, service organizations, administrators and active students at the annual AMS awards assembly tonight at 7 in 133 FH.
The highlight of the program, which will be emceed by Tom Kelly, “voice of the
Trojans,” will be the presen tation of the Order of the I Palm, by Dr. Frank C. Bax jter, emeritus professor of [English.
The Order of the Palm is presented to the most outstanding graduating senior on the basis of scholarship, service, athletics and activities, ¡new AMS Presdient Frank Barbaro explained. “Sixteen men were nominated for the award by the AMS service groups.”
Field Narrowed The field of 16 was nar rowed down to seven after evaluations and interviews by both campus committees and committees from the community, Barbaro said.
The final seven include Gil Garcetti, past AMS president; Dan Moss, president of Blue Key; Hal Stokes, past presi dent of AMS; Bart Leddel, past president of ASSC; Skip Hartquist, outgoing Senior Class president; Hal Drake, editor of the Daily Trojan; and Bill Heeres. chairman of Songfest ’62 and chairman of the Festival of Nations.

TYR Panel To Question Tom Duggan
Television c o m m e ntator Tom Duggan will answer questions concerning his conservative viewpoints during a meeting of the Trojan Young Republicans (TYR) today at noon in 133 FH.
Duggan, a follower of former Vice President Richard Nixon, will face a panel of four questioners, comprised of TYR President Dick Pop-ko, Student Conservative League President E. J. Hinkle, Trojan Democratic Club (TDC) President Glenn Mow-rer and (TDC) Vice President Dan Wolfson.
Students attending the meeting will also have the opportunity to quiz the guest.
The former sports announcer on NBC and exposer of gangsters in Chicago, has been a television commentator in Los Angeles for seven years.
Supported HU AC
Duggan had supported the House Un-American Committee (HUAC), the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy. R., Wig., and columnist Westbrook Pegler even before deserting the Democratic Party in 1958.
I’ve always been a Conservative; nothing else.” the broadcaster claimed.
He explained he supported Adlai Stevenson for president in 1956 because he had been a member of the Cook County (Illinois) Democratic organization before coming to Los Angeles.
“This group did not compare with the left-wing California Democratic Council (CDC),” he asserted. “I would still be a registered Democrat if I had not come
