NOON READING
Baxter Will Give Lawrence Talk
Dr. Frank C. Baxter, emeritus professor in English, will read selections from the works of Lawrence of Arabia in the Noon Reading series today at 12:30 in 133 FH. Dr. Baxter, who has a collection of more than 300 books written by or concerned with Lawrence of
Arabia, will read from "Seven Pillars of Wisdom,” “The Mint” and brief paragraphs from his other writings.
"Lawrence is one of the most interesting and controversial authors of the century.” Dr. Baxter said. TTiere are about 50 separate volumes available about Lawrence.
"It is interesting to realize] that there are probably morej single volumes written about! him as an individual than anyj other person in this century, including Churchill and Roosevelt,” Dr. Baxter said.
Exciting Life “Lawrence lived an exciting and unusual life, he explained. He worked in the ruins of Car-camish, the ancient H i 11 i t e capital, and helped to make the first military map of the Sinai basin.
“He wrote his thesis for Oxford on a journey on foot to study the ancient Crusade passes in Syria,” Dr. Baxter added
During the Arab revolt against the Turks, Lawrence went to Arabia and acted as the brains and adviser for their actions. The two years he spent I- rench Tichner, Ann Dallen- ^ere provided the background bach. Jack Cowles and Marsha for “Seven Pillars of Wisdom.” Moode will head the cast in the

She added that Japanese students also tend to work more in groups than as.individuals. “Because of this,” she observed, “their attitudes are molded by the group and consequently are less flexible.”
After spending six weeks in Japan, the Tri-Delt toured throughout Southeast Asia before returning to the United States in September.
During her four years at USC, the ASSC vice president has gained memberships in Alpha Lambda Delta; Pi Delta Phi, French language honorary; Alpha Mu Gamma, Japanese language honorary; and Pi Lambda Theta. education honorary.
She is also a member of Chimes and Amazons, service honoraries, and has served in Troeds, the YWCA and AWS Associate Cabinet.
Miss Knox was graduated from Dorsey High School with a 3.64 grade average and life membership in the California Scholarship Federation.
While maintaining a 3.53 average at USC, the new Helen has also succeeded in service activities.
“She is a charming girl, a good student and seriously interested in her studies,” notes Dr. Theodore Chen, head of the Asiastic and Slavic studies department.
“Betty has been a good student, both in the Japanese language and supporting area studies,” he said, “and I have always found her to be seriously interested in her studies.”
Commenting upon her years at USC, the coed said the university offered her a wide range of academic and extra-curricula avenues to follow.
“But at the same time,” she said, “a large university such as ours lacks student participation and communication between the students and their officers.”
She feels one reason might be due to the average student who, in finding the university well established, becomes overly secure and slumps into apathy.
“It’s this apathy,” she said. “ which results in a lack of issues for student government.”
Economist, Editor Berate Government Interference
Leddel Urges New Leaders To Petition
ASSC Head Adds New Explanations To Senate Dispute
ASSC President Bart Leddel Friday urged more students to petition for offices, even if they are new to student government.
He said persons with leadership abilities and an interest in student activities, as well as those with acceptable grade averages should petition for office. He added that these people were necessary for improving student government.
Leddel also elaborated on his explanations of a meeting held Thursday between administrative and student leaders to discuss the disputed Senate meeting.
The conference was first reportedly held between Leddel,
AMS President Hal Stokes,
Elections Commissioner Dick Messer and Assistant Dean of Students Tom Hull.
Leddel said, however, that Dean of Students William M.
McGrath had attended the meeting instead of Hull. He also reported that Dick Messer had not been present.
The new Senate apportionment ratio provides for 36 senatorial positions, Social Studies Sen. Bruce Spector said, rather than the 33, as had been reported at last week’s Senate meeting. The ratio for the School of Engineering, not previously mentioned, is four senators.
Because of a dispute over the legality of the Senate’s Wednesday meeting, the legislative body will convene again tomorrow at 6 p.m. in the Student Lounge to vote on a constitutional amendment to change the grade-point average for running for offices, Leddel said.
The amendment would lower the requirement from the alluniversity average to a 2.5 for all ASSC and field of study positions.	this sum is normally contri-
Petitioning may be extended buted by various fraternities, until Friday, Leddel said.
If the Senate passes the amendment again it will be put before the student body in a special election Thursday.
Dick Messer said petitioning will be extended until Monday if the election takes place, to enable candidates who qualify under the grade-point change to petition for offices.
Petitions are available in the elections office, 324 SU, from 1 to 4 p.m. daily, except Fridays,
Messer said.

FIRST DONOR — President Topping inspects Blood Drive material with Chairman Haig Harris. Dr. Topping was the first to make a pledge in the annual campaign, which will offiically begin today for pledgers.
Troy Camp to Start Counselor Search
Groups To Vie For Cup
Sign-ups for the annual Red Cross Blood Drive will begin today and will continue through March 4 from 8:45 to 1:30 in front of Tommy Trojan.
The actual blood donations will be given March 5 through 8 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the basement of the Methodist Church. Expert technicians in the field of blood donations will be on hand to supervise the activities.
Drive Chairman Haig Harris announced that faculty members, fraternity members, NRO TC and the Air Force ROTC will be in competition for a trophy.
There are two reasons for students to participate in the competition as explained by Assistant Chairman Jack Benton.
“First, it is an insurance policy for students in case of | later illness or injury,” he said, j “Secondly, it is an obligation for a healthy individual to give | to those less fortunate.”
Past Record
In 1962, the Red Cross made many contributions to the Los [Angeles area with the help of USC students. The entire area donated 165.947 pints of blood for hospital patients, and 13,386 pints of blood for open heart surgeries were also provided. Approximately 27,000 pints of blood for derivatives to combat diseases were given in addition.
Nationally, the Red Cross program paid for research in attempting to perfect a practi-

He pointed out the inevitability of big government, but said that it was also the nation’s political task to retain the strength and drive of private enterprise.
Bell attributed the decrease in economic growth in the past four years as compared to the high rate of growth in the post-war period to government interference.
Dr. Biias, however, feels that the post-war year’s upswing in economic growth was
the Korean War.
He said the economy could not be expected to increase at the same rate after these booms.
Bell also said he felt individuals and businesses were capable of determining their own wants and achieving their own satisfaction without government entering into this realm.
Dr. Bilas also believes that it could be theoretically possible for economic growth to expand if the market mechanisms were allowed to operate by themselves without excessive <ernment help or hin-derence.
Cinema Gets U.S. Funds
A $167,146 research grant to study still, motion picture and sound elements used in a complex machine system of programmed instruction has been given to the cinema depart ment, Dr. James D. Finn, head of the department, said Friday.
The grant, donated by the Cooperative Research Branch of the U.S. Office of Education, will make possible three parallel experiments, each in a different general science area having either verbalr graphic or motion characteristics inherent in subject matter content, Dr. Finn explained.
Each content area wili be prepared for programmed learning sequences designed for machine presentation.
“In this project we are checking three different things,” Dr. William H. Allen, director ot research for the cinema department, said. “Tins is designed to be a test of programming, a test cf the way people learn and a test of the

Funds Raised
Money has also been raised through contributions at football games, football press books, Songfest and a kissing booth at Troy Jubilee.
