NEW REALMS-A moment of learning is experienced by these past Troy Campers as they participate in a craft class at the
summer camp. Another 120 underprivileged youngsters will participate in camp activities near Idyll wild in August.
A COUNSELOR RECALLS:
An Outstreched Hand À Week of Trust
(EDITOR’S NOTE: Two w eeks a so the Troy Camp Committee announced its list of counselors for this summer’s camp. In the following article, Dianne Riley, last year’s Troy Camp co-chairman, describes the adventure and the heartache, the problems and the satisfaction, that awaits them.)

By DIANNE RILEY Troy Camp Co-Chairman
A happy smile on a thin dirty face, laughter echoing through an open meadow, a warm, trustful hand outstretched, a halting prayer—this is Troy Camp.
The summer camp for under - privileged children, held in Idvllwild the last W’eek in August, has an irresistible appeal to its giant founder—the University of Southern California.
Students in social, spirit, service and scholastic groups raise the $5.000 required to finance the camp for a week. Not only are the busy Trojans willing to pay for the project, but after competing for the positions, 22 students donate countless hours as counselors in a semester training session, summer preparation and the camp week.
Troy Camp is the only student-financed and staffed camp of its size on the West Coast.
What is Troy C a m p's powerful attraction that makes student interest so high that the administration has allow’ed it to be the only “true” student project? How. when so
many programs die with age, has this event survived since its founding 11 years ago solely on student initiative?
The simple answer is found in the doleful big eyes which have penetrated USC’s soul. The vulnerable eyes of the neighborhood children.
Every day comm u t i n g students slow down for local school zones and watch the undernourished, poorly dressed children pass; education majors teach their eager minds in student-training programs; and hundreds of Greeks passing 32nd Street School seethe childish, yet often brutal, play of the active youngsters.
In the unusual position of being able to help their under-privileged neighbors and then see the results, USC students established Troy Camp. The project was not just another charity program in which money was donated to a “cause,” but rather a reciprocal plan in which the donors were repaid with satisfaction in their neighbors' delight.
The 120 children — 60 boys and 60 girls—sent to Camp range from 8 to 12 years of age. Half of the group are selected by the
Eastside Boys Club and the others are chosen by teachers and principals of six grammar schools in the area. Although each camp varies, the group is usually I 45 per cent Negro. 40 per cent Mexican, 10 per cent Caucasian and 5 per cent Oriental.
These children have never been to a summer camp, few even to the mountains. None has been under such close supervision, particularly by young adults. A few are extreme disciplinary problems, several are homesick cases and all are love-starved attention seekers.
The week is a period of responsibility, re - evaluation of values, humility and learning for the counselors.
For the campers this may § be the first and last taste of youthful happiness, the exhilarating freedom and beauty of nature and the | unquestioning faith in an adult, (their counselor).
In seven days a 10-year- J old, 150-pound Mexican f boy, nicknamed Scorpion. ■ who had been suspended from the Eastside Boys Club for two months as a disciplinary problem, learned to share and play with others.
Overcoming his belligerent disrespect for adults, w'hich he learned in a broken home of 13 children headed by an alcoholic mo-ther, Scorpion gave his counselor complete trust when he realized the counselor would keep his word.
Scorpion became a “mo-del” camper.

Topping Receives Award For Outstanding Service
Four Experts Report Views At Meetings
Topics ranging from the folly of the United States’
Cuban policy to the possibility of transplanting hearts were discussed at meetings Saturday by professors during the annual Alumni Day.
Dr. Paul E. Hadley, associate professor of international lations and economics, termed as “tragic” the manner in which this nation’s government has behaved toward Cuba.
“The tactics of the United States have left our friends— the anti-Communist Cuban people — hurt and confused as to our real intention,” he claimed.
Not Utilized
Dr. Hadley also asserted that the United States has not properly utilized the willing support of other Latin American countries in opposing the Castro regime.
Dr. George C. Griffin, professor of medicine, described William Harrison Faulk-possibilities of transplanting ner’s last book, “The Reiv-
ANTI-JEWISH LEAFLETS SPUR OFFICIAL ACTION
A scattering of anti-Semitic hate literature on campus last week prompted President Topping Friday to ask for student aid to track down the distributors of the leaflets.
Dr. Topping said the flyers, distributed by a group calling itself the Christian Education Association, had been left in cars parked in campus parking lots. The one-page sheet consisted of vitriolic attacks on Jews.
Students were asked by Dr. Topping to report receipt of such literature to the dean of students office, and to keep alert for persons wh.o might be distributing it.
“The university campus is private property, so that such distribution without permission is an illegal act,” Dr. Topping said. “We would like the students to know we certainly have not given permission for this, and would appreciate their help in our efforts to prevent it.
“We do not believe anyone connected with the university is involved, but whoever is, is doing this illegally and will be subject to prosecution if apprehended.”
Information should be turned in to the dean of students office or the business office, Owens Hall.
