Candidate Seeks Write-In Victory
Bv VIRGINIA BODIN Elections Reporter
Senior Ken Del Conte declared himself as a write-in candidate for ASSC president yesterday and announced his platform as one of ‘‘realistic promises.”
A halfback on the varsity football team, Del Conte said he had not obtained much experience in student
government at USC, but added “it doesn’t take a political genius to figure out what is I going on here.”
The write-in candidate said even though he his a senior, he will be able to serve as student body president because he will be attending the university as a graduate student next year.
I Del Conte explained that students should be able to expect their potential leaders to back up promises made in campaigns, but said candidates often give promises that are

Back I’p Promises “A candidate should back up his campaign promises,” he said. “It is unfair for candidal t* to make promises which obviously cannot be delivered.'
Currently a member of the ASSC Senate from the division of humanities, Del Conte advocated a program of simplification of student government rather than more committees, ¡which he claimed would make lit even more complicated.
“I think there is a need for i better communication between the Executive Cabinet and the Senate and also with the administration, but another com-ASSC office seekers who ^ WQu]d nol help solve the

Lecturer Tells Of Qualities In Building
Architecture includes environment as well as buildings, Eric Pawley, research secretary for the American Institute of Architects (AIA), said yesterday.
Speaking at a special lecture in Harris Hall, Pawley explained that architecture re cently has come to be defined as “buildings” because of tech nological advances and advertising.
He maintained, however, that architecture is the total expression of the design, not just the actual structure.
Leadership Ability
Modern architects must not only possess creativity, but have an ability for leadership because of technological advances that entail many people, he explained.
Pawley said leadership should not be an end in itself, but that creativity in design and structural engineering are needed as well.
He defined research as having two parts—functional planning and building type studies, as well as design criteria for conditioning envronment.
Needs Experimentation
Pawley maintained that architectural research needs experimentation instead of “just fact accumulation.” He cited four areas the experimentation should include — investigation, incubation, illumination and verification.
To illustrate his point, Pawley used slides that contained no buildings, but just scenery.
He explained that the scenery slides illustrated the necessity of texture, scale and perspective in the environment of the structure and the necessity of the building fitting in with the environment.

Change Due Near USC
Plans will be made for a mass redevelopment program in the area immediately surrounding USC, Joseph T. Bill, executive director of the community redevelopment agency said yesterday.
At present, a survey is being conducted to determine the ele-gibility of the area and the kind of program needed to benefit the section. Tentative headquarters have been set up at 814 W. Jefferson Blvd.
which they could serve the university.
Asked what could be done to improve spirit in student ranks, several of the candidates stressed the need for more communication between the yell leaders and the student body as a whole. Also highly emphasized was the need for more efficiency in the rallies to bring more students into contact with the activities of their team.
“We have to push our way to the student body. Our team was No. 1 and there is no reason why this can’t be carried

Many of the contestants emphasized the idea that the position of yell leader is comparable to that of other student body offices and has an equal responsibility to his school. The yell leader is a representative of the university and must conduct himself accordingly, said one of the candidates.

This is not as ironic as it seems, once the rest of the story unfolds.
In 1943 Lester, along with Dr. John Piffner ,acting dean of the School of Public Administration, realized the need for a training program for personnel in police juvenile specialization.
Together, they unfolded their plans and took them to several prominent leaders in Los Angeles law enforcement agencies.
Lester and Dr. Piffner organized a group of these professional men into a counsel for
structing their proposed ideas into a workable, efficient program of instruction.
After weeks of deliberation and discussion,	u tentative
course was submitted to Chancellor von KleinSmid, who was university president at the time. Dr. von KleinSmid was enthusiastic but indicated the plan would have to be endorsed and approved by city government officials and law enforcement agency administrators.
Finally, with endorsement and approval, Dr. Piffner and Lester arranged for a pilot course to be taken by selected students in two Los Angeles schools. At the finish of the trial runs of 16 weeks, the pro-
trict attorney at the time and a member of the original DCI planning counsel, organized a finance committee so scholarships could be provided for students. The benefactors w’ere. and are, the Southern California Automobile Club, Sears-Roebuck, Inc., Hollywood Turf Club and Farmers Insurance Group.
When the DCI course officially began ir the spring of 1946, Dr. Piffner became one of the instructors. Presently, he is a professor in the School of Public Administration but is still active in DCI administration.
Lester, still on the DCI advisory committee, took a posi-

position as a church counselor at the Hollywood - Beverly Christian Church in Los Angeles.
He has recently enrolled in the school he helped to create.
Through the years Lester and Piffner have watched their brainchild become the acme of professionalmtion in the field of juvenile delinquency control.
“Our goal has always been to teach good administration so students can integrate their learning effectively with existing law enforcement agencies in their communities,” Lester commented.
Since its organization, 35 DCI classes have gone through training. Of a total of 607 graduates, 383 have come from California communities, 187 from other states and 38 from
and one-half years and two other participants will be called in the dean’* office this morning.
Dr. McGrath also revealed that the individuals involved in the accident itself are sueing each other, the IFC and the university. He would not release the names of the students apprehended.
No Row Reprisals While individual measures are being taken, ‘There will be no mass reprisals against row houses,” Dr. McGrath said yesterday after meeting with Mulvey White, vice president for student and alumni affairs.
Dr. McGrath said the uni. versify would take five steps to prevent a reoccurence of the incident in which two people were injured on 28th Street as a result of thrown water balloons.
Ending an 85-year tradition, all water fight* will be banned, Dr. McGrath said.
He added the university
would also recommend to the Los Angeles Traffic Department that concrete barriers be placed on 28th Street, better lighting be provided and more police protection be afforded.
Recommendations Dr. McGrath said he would also ask the IFC and the Fraternity Alumni Advisers Association for recommendations regarding rules of decorum for students. On March 20, a report will be given to the Faculty Senate with recommendations on student decorum in general. Dr. McGrath added.
The dean noted that in October 1962 ASSC President Bart Leddel had written to the Los Angeles Traffic Department asking for traffic impediments on the row, but was turned down.
Involved in the water bomb accident were two USC coeds,
Marie Valas, 18, 838 S. Detroit St.; Eva Zahedi, 18, of the Soroptimist House, 915 W. 30th St., an exchange student from Persia; and two non-university women.
Police Report
Police report that Miss Valas had been going east on 28th Street when she stopped at the intersection at University Avenue. While halted, Miss Valas’
1962 Thunderbird convertible was pelted with water bombs and she apparently panicked, according to Dr. McGrath.
Continuing east on 28th St. at a rapid rate, Mis* Valas swerved on the wrong side of the road and hit a car driven by Mrs. Hubertine Hall, 27,
1748 S. Genesee St., Dr. McGrath said.
A passenger with Mrs. Hall,
Clare Novick, 54, 4815 W. Santa Barbara Blvd., received a cut on her head which required stitches. Mis« Valas suffered an extensive cut on her left arm.
Rider* OK
Miss Zahedi, a rider with Miss Valas, and Mrs. Hall were not injured, he said.
