Architect Stone Von KleinSmid
Will Plan Building
Architect Edward Durell Stone has been commissioned by USC to design the $2.8 million Von KleinSmid Center for International and Public Affairs. President Topping annouced yesterday.
Named for Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, university president from 1921 to 1946, chancellor since 1947 and founder of the International Relations School in 1924, the building will house the International Relations and Public!
Administration Schools.
The three-story building, built around its own tower, will be situated in the north-1 east corner of W. 35th Place i and University Avenue.

Blue Key to Debate Disputed By-Laws
The use of recently dis-coverered 1959 by-laws for Blue Key, a debate over which caused eight members of the men's honorary to revolt last week, will be discussed at a meeting of the organization today at 3 in the Senate Chambers, 301a SU.
The dissenters protested re-( iRg the rules this semester
introduction of rules, found by President Dann Moss, which provided tor a five-man selection board that could reject persons proposed for membership without consulting the general membership.
Moss called the meeting today in response to dissenters’ demands and said he would allow the majority to rule in the matter.
The president asserted that although the procedure of a board selecting the members

had not been employed in several years, he found it necessary to reinstitute the system in order that the society be run by “formal rules.'’
Daily Trojan Editor Hal Drake, one of the dissenters, said the propriety of reinstat
was being questioned, as well as the validity of the rules themselves.
“If these new rules are accepted as valid, then each of us now in the society has been admitted illegally, and we’ll have to be prepared to ‘kick ourselves out,’ ” he said
Drake further protested the “undemocratic complexion” of the by-laws.
Moss said he has found the minutes of the meeting at which the rules were discus sed and ratified and has other “interesting evidence to present concerning the rules which the Daily Trojan has been trying to make seem made-up and scandalous."
He charged the newspaper with false reporting, referring to an editorial Wednesday that said the rules were “as-s e r t e d 1 y passed in 1959, when, he said, it is “undisput-able" that they actually were.
Dissenters included ASSC President Ken Del Conte, former ASSC President Bart Leddel, IFC adviser Jess Hill, former Social Studies Sen. Lynn Rehm, former International Relations President Ken Payne, outgoing Senior Class President Skip Hartquist, Daily Trojan City Editor Dan
USC will receive a government loan to help finance immediate construction of Student Union additions only if the student referendum on May 13 to 16 is passed. ASSC President Ken Del Conte told the Executive Cabinet yesterday.
A $1.5 million construction loan will be made by the Housing and Home Financing Agency (HHFA), he said.
It will be repaid at 3.5 per|Smith and Editor Drake, cent interest over a period of 30 years.
Fee Assessment
But because HHFA demands yearly installments on the loan, the student referendum for a fee bill assessment of $2.75 per semester must be passed. Del Conte explained.
The referendum, if passed, will provide an estimated yearly income of $60.000 that will help repay the loan, he said.
To pass the referendum,
3.500 students must vote. At least 1,751 must vote ‘yes Bring Entertainers
Twenty-five cents of the $2.75 fee will be used to bring entertainers to campus and finance dances and other social or cultural activities for students, he explained.

Palo Alto libraries, the Loyola University Communication Arts Centers and the Reef Point Hotel in Laguna are other examples of his work in the West.
Otis Art Institute honored Stone with a master of fine arts degree in 1961 for such architectural achievements as the United States Embassy in New Delhi, the United States Pavilion at the Brussels World’s Fair and the National Cultural Center in Washington, D.C.
College Architect Stone has been the architect for college and university buildings at the University of Arkansas, Vanderbilt University, University of South Car olina. University of Chicago and Mohawk Valley Technical Institute.
Additional campuses are Hamilton College, New York School of Social Work at Columbia University, Windham College and the State University of New York.
The office of Anthony D. Lazzaro, associate business manager and director of campus development, is working with Stone and his associates on the Von KleinSmid Center project.
Master Plan
The center is one of several new buildings being built as part of the Master Plan. The Olin Hall of Engineering, a $2.2 million building, is already near completion. The 54-unit dormitory for married students is under construction on the corner of Exposition Boulevard and McClin-tock Street.
Brecht Style To Be Topic
Theater concepts of Bertolt Brecht will be discussed at 7:30 in 129 FH tonight at a symposium sponsored by the drama department to stir up interest for its upcoming production of Brecht’s “Good Woman of Setzuan.”
Andrew Doe, visiting professor of drama who is directing the show, will participate along with Dr. John Spalety, assistant professor of German, and Dr. Bernard Dukore, associate professor of drama at Los Angeles State College.
Each will give his views on Brecht’s concept of “alienation,” which Doe calls the process of “making the usual unusual.”
Scenes from the play will be performed at the meeting tonight. William White, production manager for Stop Gap Theater, will chair the meeting, which will be open to the public.
New Senate Elects Barr As President
By BEBE SCHERB Senate Reporter
Social Studies Sen. Dennis Barr captured the Senate presidency by a margin of three votes at the first meeting of the new ASSC Senate last night.
Barr won the office on a roll call vote 15 minutes after ASSC President Ken Del Conte called the meeting to order.
He was opposed by Social Studies Sen. John Sullivan, a freshman.
Roll Call
Prior to voting, some members of the Senate demanded a secret ballot. Del Conte, however, said a roll call vote would be taken since he “was running the meeting.”
If Del Conte had called for a secret ballot instead of a roll call vote, Barr might not have been elected, Social Studies Sen. David Lippman said after the meeting.
The new president, a jun ior in political science and economics, called for “work, initiative and acceptance of responsibility.”
Need to Produce “If we do not produce, you might as well write us off the record,” he commented.
The Senate must create to exist, he added.
Barr described the legislative body as being on a “downward trend.”
“It has lost all of its respect and leadership and any claim as a student leadership body,” he said.
The Senate president outlined his goal to re-instate the Senate into student^jWem-ment as a respectable and powerful student representative body.
Brief Speech In his brief “campaign” speech, Barr said this goal could be accomplished by removing the “dead wood” in student government. He also proposed that the new legislative body compile and publish a brochure on the International Students House.
Few people really know what is going on down there,” he said.
Barr also suggested that a teacher evaluation program be revised to give students a chance to contribute to curriculum planning and suggest possible subject matter. Downward Trend Defeated candidate Sullivan also condemned the “downward trend” of the Senate during his campaign talk.
“To erase this lack of respect and leadership, we must forget about factionalism— whether we are in a big house or a small house.” Sullivan said.
New Senate President Barr said there would be one more Senate meeting before the end of the semester. At the meeting committee chairmen, committees and other Senate officers will be appointed, he said.
TROJAN ACCOMPANIES EVEREST ASSAULTERS
A USC graduate cinema student may h.ave been among the four-man American team that began the final leg of an assault of Mt. Everest yesterday.
Daniel E. Doody, official motion picture and still photographer for the initial American expedition up Everest a few years ago, is believed to have gone along on the ascension in hopes of taking the first motion pictures from atop the 29,082-foot peak.
The American team reached the 27,800-foot level and began the trek to the summit yesterday morning amidst perfect weather. Poor weather, however, set-in before nightfall and communications between the men and a ground crew were temporarily lost.
Officials estimated it would take about five hours to complete the conquest under normal weather conditions.
Doody’s photographs were expected to be taken under the most severe conditions, Bill Amberg, teaching assistant in cinema said.
Levers on the cameras will freeze, lenses will be covered with, ice and the film will break in the cold, Amberg explained.
Doody has also taken adventure films for Bill Burrud television productions. One of the Burrud films by Doody featured the first expedition to climb the north face of Canada’s Mt. Edith N. Cavell. Doody organized and led that climb.
The graduate student is currently compiling a master’s thesis on time lapse photography.
Educator Cites Plan To Eliminate Conflict
Conflict will continue between the governor-appointed State Board of Education and the popularly elected superintendent of public instruction until necessary changes are made, a professor of education said at the faculty center luncheon yesterday.
Dr. D. Lloyd Nelson, professor of education and an authority on school finance and taxation, proposed three changes for California's educational system.
He first proposed that the governor should appoint the State Board of Education members on the basis of nominations by the State School Board Association rath ir than the present method.
His second proposal called for a change in the contract of the state superintendent of public instruction so that he be appointed on a four-year term rather than by public election as he is now.
He said the State Board of Education should make the appointment.
His third proposal was that state board members be appointed for long, overlapping terms (6 to 10 years).
“My proposals are not new and have worked successfully in other states.’’ he said.
“I see no reason for electing state board members since they have no taxing powers and we would not be
violating the principle of taxation without representation,” Dr. Nelson said in support of the current method.
He said under the present system the people elect the state superintendent of public instruction in vigorous campaigns on irrelevant issues.
“California has one of the highest pupil-teacher ratios in the nation, ranking 44th among the 50 states in class size, and New York has a ratio of five pupils below California’s,” he said.
New York, almost identical to California in population and per capita income, spends $615 per child in its schools, compared with California’s $472 per child, he added.
The professor is a graduate of Abilene Christian College, Stanford and USC. From 1929 to 1947 he served in California as a public school teacher, vice principal, principal and school superintendent.
Squire Test To Be Held
A test for Squire applicants will be given today at 3 in 133 FH, Ted Patterson, Knight vice president, said yesterday.
Applications will be accepted before the test for those students applying late.
Rodee Supports Lottery
Legalized gambling should be seriously considered if it can be made into a worthwhile source for state reve nue. Dr. Carlton Rodee, professor of education, said yesterday.
Responding to a survey of faculty opinion on the gambling question aroused in California after recent legalization of a lottery in New Hampshire, Dr. Rodee said the problem could not be ignored.
"If we can extract worthwhile revenue from the legalization of gambling, then I see no reason why such legislation shouldn’t be seriously considered,” he said.
He explained that to simply ignore the existence of gambling and the urge to gamble does not eliminate the
problem nor in any way de-1 Dr. Frederick E. Kottke, crease its prevalence.	assistant	professor	of	econ-
“Most public officials are more or less obligated to bs against sin and for righteousness.” Dr. Rodee said. “But I don't think they should ignore the fact that people are going to gamble anyway, regardless of efforts to stop them.”
Dr. Rodee explained that he disaproved of gambling, but that a good case can be made for it if the proceeds are used for constructive purposes.
He noted that many people would be oposed to the lottery form of legalized gambling purely on moral grounds, and for that reason it would be difficult to pass the legislation.
omics, said it is doubtful that a California sweepstakes lottery would become a reality in the near future.
He explained that in view of Gov. Brown’s opposition to the question, it probably would not have a chamce of passing until it could gain political favor.
“It seems to me that the only way this might happen would be if our tax liability went over and above what we can actually afford to pay,” Dr. Kottke said.
“It might also come about should the inequity of taxes increase to such an extent that it would be economically advisable and desirable.” Kottke said at this time, how-
ever, it would be quite illogical.
Dr. Richard A. Bilas. assistant professor of economics, agreed with Dr. Kottke that Gov. Brown would not permit a legal lottery.
Dr. Bilas said there would probably be a great deal of revenue from such a thing, and if this was the case, “it would certainly be better than extra property taxes.”
With reference to the influence a lottery or sweepstakes would have on the present tax structure, Dr. Bilas doubted that any of the present taxes would be lowered as a result of the increased income from such an operation.
“The saying ‘An old tax is a good tax’ would probably be applied,” he said.
