POLITICAL MANEUVERING
Professor Predicts Split' In Mississippi Race Battle
By ALAN BINE
Mississippi Gov. Ross Bamett and other vocal Southern leaders keeping “politically alive” by backing segregation are actually helping to bury it, an assistant professor of political science said yesterday.
Dr. Gerald Rigby, who calls himself a voluntary expatriate of the South, maintained that by saving themselves, the leaders are hurrying desegregation litigation.
“The violence movement is encouraging because the theory oi integration will become practice much faster than it w ould through court processes,” he said.
Dr. Rigby, born in England and raised in Louisiana, claimed it has taken 150 years of litigation to get this far in the problem.

Row Heads Ask City For Speed Checks
A letter requesting improved traffic safety on 28th Street was sent this week to the Los Angeles City Board of Public Works, ASSC President Bart Leddel announced yesterday.
The letter, signed by Leddel. Inter-Fraternity Council President Jess Hill and Panhellenic President Patti Hill, suggests that six-inch cement barriers placed along the Row could decrease present traffic hazards.

Safety Unit To Graduate 60 Officers
Sixty U. S. Air Force and Army officers will be graduated tomorrow’ from the Aviation and Missile Safety Division of University College, George B. Potter, division director, announced Monday.
The new graduates, who have been at USC since late July, are members of three class groups — Air Force flying safety officers. Air Force missile safety and Army aviation safety.
Commencement speaker for the graduation exercises, which will follow a luncheon in the Upstairs Commons, will be Air Force Col. George T. Buck, World War II fighter ace and veteran missile man.
Col. Buck has been the director of missile safety in the U. S. Air Force since Aug. 15, 1960. Situated at Norton Air Force Base. San Bernardino, Col. Buck's Pentagon-level unit Is responsible for implementing, guiding and monitoring the Air

has become a traffic hazard be cause of the lack of safety-con-trol,” the letter contended.
"This problem could be solved through the use of cement barriers placed at 25 yard intervals on 28th Street.” the letter continued. "This would force automobiles to slow down and it would do much to solve our traffic dilemma.”
Leddel said the student leaders felt some action should be taken very soon to lessen the traffic situation. He said other solutions, such as dips and islands, had been considered.
He explained that the cement barrier method had been selected as their suggestion because the possible danger to tires of speeding cars would force drivers to slow down.
He said the present lack of safety controls had nearly caused several accidents in recent years. He noted that the combination of speeding cars and the activity on the Row had been the cause of the near-accidents.
battle but, backed by extremists, win their political races.” The farmer LSU instructor feels a strong leader must be at the core of any segregation movement.
"Without a vocal leader like Orval Faubus in Arkansas and Ross Barnett in Mississippi there could never be much strength to these drives for segregation,” he said.
Strong Leader "A strong leader is a requisite. Otherwise, the mob won’t follow.”
Students can’t be held responsible for the things happening in Mississippi, Dr. Rigby said.
"The violence is obviously being stirred up by older extremists,” he said. "I’d bet the average age of the troublemakers is over 40.”
Dr. Rigby indicated that great pressures were undoubtedly being applied to southern faculties by segregationists.
‘Expatriate’
"An instructor of principle whose beliefs don't follow those of the segregationists is often chastised,” he said. "That’s part of the reason I'm at USC. I could have faced up to it, but my wife and two children would have suffered in the process. Most of my relatives still live in Louisiana.
"They were just beginning to integrate when I taught at LSU. We didn’t have any trouble. But in most Southern schools that are beginning to integrate today, a court order is required before a Negro student may enroll,” he explained.
Dr. Rigby pointed out that most institutions in the South are still segregated. Mississippi, he added, is one of the (Continued on Page 2)

Campaigner Seeks Assist From TDC
Charles Warren, state assembly candidate for Los Angeles’ 56th District, yesterday told the Trojan Democratic Club (TDC) that he would need their help in getting his campaign off the ground.
“We will be sending out 150,000 pieces of mail and we need your help to get it out,” Warren said in soliciting aid from his Trojan supporters.
TDC members will help Warren in his race against incumbent Chet Wolfram by addressing, stuffing and stamping envelopes and by placing posters in strategic areas.
Send Letters Warren plans to send appli cations for an absentee ballot and a personal letter to each registered Democrat in his district.
On the Saturday before elections he will follow up with a sample ballot and postcard urging Democrats to “Vote for Every Office — Make Your Vote Count.”
In his grass roots work, candidate Warren will have two representatives from his more than 900 volunteers working in each of his district's 471 precincts.
‘An increasing number of Democratic voters will help me to everwhelm my opposition in the 56th district,” Warren said in his speech at TDCs first meeting of the year.
Agree on Issue TDC president Art Kralowec earlier this week said TDC had elected to support and help Warren because "his civil rights orientation is perfectly compatible with the general TDC view of ‘responsible liber alism’ and the supporting of civil rights and welfare issues.
At the meeting yesterday Warren told his supporters that "full equality of opportunity for all Californians must always be our objective.
"We have made progress, but we need passage of a strengthened Fair Housing Act,” he said.

Proposition 13 asks for removal of a 100-acre limit placed on the amount of prop erty owned by private universities that can be held tax-free. The limit was set in 1914. when the average private university

Dr. Franklin pointed out that that 100-acre limit was applied when the total enrollment in private universities in California was only 6,000. But present enrollment in private colleges is 55,000 students, and the private universities are expanding to handle the increase.

decrease the tax base for local governments.
“But private colleges ease the tax burden by removing the students they enroll from the public schools,” he noted. “For every dollar a city loses in tax assessment an estimated $31 is returned.”
Dr. Franklin said USC will reap no immediate tax advantage from the proposition, if accepted, and that the exact amount of saving to be made when the university exceeds 100 acres is unknown.
“But the amount of money involved is not what is at stake,” he emphasized. “It is the principle of whether private, independent colleges, which have contributed so much to the nation, should be encouraged and supported by the stale.”
Student Party Will Discuss Election Issue
The University Students Party (USP) will hold a convention today at 3:15 in 133 FH to nominate candidates for the freshman elections.
USP President Steve Meiers said candidates for freshman president and vice president have been invited to attend the convention. The party’s mem bers will vote on candidates.
An official release of students who have petitioned for the offices will not be available un til tomorrow at 4.

Party Platform
Meiers said the party will also vote on a tentative platform that was drawn up at last week's meeting of USP’s council of representatives.
The USP president indicated that the party’s major campaign issue will be that USP is the only recognized political party on campus.
He said the Trojans for Representative Government (TRG) Party lost its recognition last year by not complying with an Executive Cabinet request to make changes in the TRG constitution.
Major Issue
“USP is a democratic organization with candidates endorsed by a convention,” Meiers said. “Our candidates carry the support of 350 members. When compared with the other political organization — which does not hold a convention—this is a major issue.”
Meiers said the convention will also consider an amendment to the USP constitution. He said the change would be in wording of one clause.
