IDEALS CLASH IN PREJUDICE PANEL
By GREGG PETERSON
Student and administrative sentiments regarding the advisability of bringing controversial speakers to campus met head-on last night in 229 FH at a discussion on the “Nature of Prejudice” attended bv an overflow crowd.
The discussion followed showing by the newly formed USC Committee on Human Relations of a CBS film, “An Interview with George Lincoln Rockwell,” that was considered too controversial to be put on television.
During a panel analysis of the problem of prejudice that followed, questions were directed to Dean of Students William H. McGrath on the administration’s ban of Communist speakers from the campus.
Responding to pointed remarks from the student audience. Dr. McGrath said radical speakers should not be welcome on the campus because they contradict the notion that issues are the substance of a university and not propaganda and personal attacks.
Dr. McGrath also asserted that he would not . welcome the “star” of the evening’s film, Nazi leader Rockwell, to appear on campus for the same
reason.
“USC is not to become a political platform,” he said. “Students should study instead the political issues raised around the world.”
In the free-wheeling question-and-answer period, which lasted more than an hour following showing of the half-hour film, discussion by four panel members drifted from the meaning of the film to the nature of prejudice to the future of right-wing causes in the United States to USC’s own policies regarding prejudice and campus speakers.
With Dr. McGrath in the panel were Dr. George L. Baker, assistant professor of marketing and transportation; Dr. Joseph Bosking, co-director of the American studies program; and Rev. John R. Shaffer, university Methodist chaplain.
Dr. Milton S. Bloombaum, assistant professor of sociology, moderated.
The Rev. Mr. Shaffer received the most sustained applause during the explosive session when he referred to his own efforts to end prejudice while an undergraduate at USC.
“I was surprised to learn that the international relations fraternity to which I belonged sorted among people by creed and color,” he said. “Today at USC even professional groups still sort out people on the accident of their birth.”
The applause came when the Rev. Mr. Shaffer was asked by a student what he did beside “being shocked” on learning his fraternity was segregated. When the minister outlined his efforts to organize a new non-discriminatory national fraternity and his work with several Negro organizations and fraternities, he was bathed in applause that lasted a full minute.
Regarding the film, the Rev. Schaffer said it was an “excellent example of prejudice at work,” while Dr. Baker felt “Rockwell was making an ass of himself.”

Although in the half-hour movie Rockwell blatantly stressed the superiority of the white race and the danger of the darker races, several panelists felt it would serve an effective purpose.
Dr. Baker said such movies expose such men as Rockwell and prove their stupidity.
On the other side, the Rev. Mr. Schaffer felt the film was “petting some people’s basic prejudices.”
In answer to a student question Dr. Boskin said there is a parallel between Hitler and Rockwell in that neither one was thought of seriously. He added that to consider them crazy would be to misjudge them.
Dr. Boskin also felt there were no American traits at the current time that would help push the Nazis to power.
“If cold war tensions increase, radical right wing groups will increase,” he theorized.

A scholarship benefit recital by the School of Music, featuring mezzo-soprano Margery MacKay, will be presented in Hancock Auditorium tonight at

Proceeds from the recital, which is given in collaboration with the Los Angeles alumnae chapter of Mu Phi Epsilon, will provide a scholarship for a music student. Miss MacKay won a similar Mu Phi Epsilon scholarship when she entered USC.
Her program will include selections from Purcell, Handel, Vivaldi, Mozart, and Brahms, as well as two song cycles—Twelve Poems of Emily Dickinson by Copland and Chanson Villageoises by Poulenc.
The second cycle, Chansons Villageoises by Poulenc, will be a first performance for Los Angeles.
Miss MacKay will be assisted by Harper MacKay, pianist, and Sanford Schonbach, violinist.
She has sung with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, New York City Center Opera, and Cosmopolitan Opera of San Francisco. She is leading mezzo-soprano of the Los Angeles Opera Company, and has also appeared locally with the Los Angeles International Music Festival, Monday Evening Concerts and the Inglewood Symphony Orchestra.

Student Union Becomes Victim Of Vote Apathy
The $1.5 million Student Union fee referendum., was defeated yesterday because of the lack of 972 of the 3,500 votes required to pass the bill.
Elections Commissioner Scott Bice reported a total of 2,528 votes cast during the four day drive.
A break down of the voting days showed 649 votes cast Monday, 665 Tuesday, and 713 votes Wednesday and 501 votes yesterday.
“The final vote in favor of the referendum was 2,147 for and 381 students against,” Bice said.
“The students who voted were in favor 7 to 1 for student financing of the union,” he noted.
If another 972 students had voted the bill would have passed even if they voted “no” because the 51 per cent affirmative requirement of the 3,500 votes necessary had been obtained.
Mulvey White, vice president for student and tlumni affairs, said he was not surprised at the returns.
“Indications of past general elections seemed to indicate that the referendum was a high ambitious hope,” he commented.
Future plans for the financing of a student union have not been discussed among administrators because Dr. Topping is on a tour, he said.
“We have hired an architecture to look things over,” he said. “But plans for a student union will be discussed in the future and there will be a delay.
Former ASSC President Bart Leddel, who initiated the referendum, was not available to comment on the election returns He has been off campus all week due to a death in the family.
Student leaders were dismayed by the lack of student support of the voting itself.
ASSC President Ken Del Conte expressed disappointment for future students at USC.
“People who didn’t vote are only hurting their own relatives and friends who might come here later,” he said.
Del Conte said there might be a possibility of trying to pet the remaining necessary votes through class room elections.
“Student leaders and the administration will have to discuss it more fully before any further action is taken,” he said.
