Leddel Offers Interest Plan To Senators
By VIRGINIA BODIN
ASSC President Bart Leddel described his suggestions for providing greater academic interest within the university at the ASSC Senate meeting last night.
In addition, the Senate passed a statute approving an amendment to the ASSC constitution and referred another amendment to committee. Senators also discussed a resolution for improving procedures for voting at student elections Speaking informally to senators before the meeting was called to order, Leddel recommended a plan for encouraging students and professors to meet in informal discussion sessions and for setting up voluntary student study sessions.
Class Discussions Leddel explained that the plan would enable students to continue a class discussion after hours with a professor and provide the opportunity to attend seminars in which outstanding students, faculty members and guests would be invited to speak on various topics.
“Perhaps we could arrange for the professor to setup these sessions, so that students would not be accused of ‘apple-polishing’ by fellow students,” he suggested.
He said the plan would not only assist students who might require academic aid but would also provide positive public re-
STUDENT BOWL TICKETS TO GO ON SALE MONDAY
Rose Bowl tickets will go on sale Monday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at special ticket booths on University Avenue in front of the Administration Building, Ticket Manager Joh.n Morley announced.
All activity book holders will be entitled to purchase one $3 rooters’ ticket for the game, Morley added. Non-activity book holders who are carrying eight or more units will be entitled to fill out applications for purchase of a $6 reserved seat.
In the latter category, Morley emphasized the fact that there will be only 2,500 tickets available to the non-activity book holders. He also stated that all applications will be checked to verify that tb.e applicant is carrying eight or more units.
Tickets in this category will be mailed to applicant after verification for an additional charge of 50 cents.
Because of the limited allotment given the university, there will be no additional tickets available for student distribution or purchase, Morley explained.
Expert Sees Growth As Threat to Peace
The world population explosion threatens the peace, security and well-being of all the people of the world, Gen. William H. Draper Jr., Palo Alto investment man warned at the closing session of USC's annual Institute of World Affairs last night Draper, who spoke at the Huntington-Sheraton Hotel in Pasadena, said the population is adding more than 5,000 persons an hour, or 50 million persons a year, to the global census. This increase poses as much a threat to the world as the nuclear bomb or Communism, he maintained.
Draper said he became per-lations for the Senate and the sonally aware of the world-university in general. wide problem of population

said.
“I’m only suggesting that you consider the bill,” he added. “I’m not forcing anything on you. If you like it, fine; if you don’t like it, fine. It’s up to you.”
The Senate passed a recommendation by Social Studies Sen. Dennis Barr to place on

provides ASSC membership tc students enrolled in 12 or more units.
Foreign aid is one of the strongest weapons — second only to actual military defenses —against the further advance of communism, Draper said
Unlimited birth rates, however, can make foreign aid useless, Draper warned.
Will Double
If present growth rates continue, the world’s 1961 population of almost 3 billion will more than double within the next 40 years, he said. By comparison, it increased only 1 billion in the first 50 years of this century.
“Eventually, if not checked, the population explosion could engulf and even destroy civilization as we know it in a swirling tide of desperate and impoverished humanity,” Draper said:
In all Latin America, he said, food production and consumption are less today on a per capita basis than before World War H.
Solution
“Let me propose what should be an acceptable solution to all,” Draper said. “First, the dangers to humanity of excessive population growth should be frankly and openly recognized by our government, the Catholic church and all our people generally.
“Second, birth control should not be imposed on anyone,” he continued. “Third, each individual, religion and country should apply only those controls considered to be admissible by their own conscience, religious or national customs.
“This solution would mean no imposition of birth control by its advocates and no imposition of veto power by its opponents.”
Book Trends Draw Praise Of Publisher
Book publishing is a business with the primary function of printing ideas and information with honesty and integrity, Edward E,
Booher, president of McGraw-Hill Book Co., said yesterday.
Speaking before the Faculty Center luncheon, Booher explained that publication of ideas is influenced by basic trends.
A recent “shock” reform in education has caused an upgrade in the level and quality of educational material especially in science, math and languages, he said.
Being Met
This revolution is being met and overcome by books, tapes, tests and film strips, Booher added. These educational devices must, however, be effi cient, effective and construc tive teaching materials. They must be flexible, also.
A second trend, to return to independent study, has intensified the use of home study and correspondence courses. The wide range of needed supplementary readings is being supplied by increasing paperback publications, he said.
The increased demand for paperbacks is due primarily to availability and low cost, Booher, explained.
Television Role
Television has also enlarged the number and quality of American readers, he reported.
Corporate mergers, a third influencing trend in book publishing, has tended to improve the quality of books and strengthen the companies themselves, Booher maintained. These mergers have also given the companies adequate support to make available all types of books dealing with any subject matter.

Party Plans To Be Told
YWCA Community Service will meet today at noon at the YWCA to plan their Christmas party for orphans, Chairman Sandy Lipse said yesterday.
The group is sponsoring a Christmas party for 25 Mexican children on December 15 for the Salvation Army Youth Center in this area.
A man to play Santa Claus and several women are needed for the party. Interested students are invited to attend today’s meeting.
A ceramics sale will be held today from 12 to 9 and tomorrow from 10 to 5 in the art patio of Harris Hall, Faith Banks, sale representative, said yesterday.
Interior decorators are expected to be the largest pur chasers of the more than 1,000 works being displayed at the seventh annual sale, Miss Banks said. But many of the items will be within the budget of students, she added.
“There is no better price in town,” she explained, “because we eliminate the middle-man.”
Although most of the items to be sold were made by ceramics students, a few large garden pots by F. Carlton Ball, professor of ceramics, will also be sold for about $100.
Works of ceramics Prof. Susan Peterson will also be offered for sale.

Applications for the Cambridge summer study program, which ?re now available in 200 Adn.i., should be filled out and returned as soon as possible. Neil D. Warren, dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Science!;, announced yesterday.
The Cambridge study program gives Trojans the opportunity to attend the English university for a month to study modem Britain, he said. The cirricuium includes study of England's government, literature, international relations, fine arts and philosophy.
USC students will also join students from 30 different countries in afternoon seminars on British institutions, 20th century English literature and British international relations.
“Candidates for the vacation course must have at least a 2.5 grade average,” Dr. Warren said. The student’s personality will also be considered.
The program is primarily designed for juniors but is also open to sophomores and seniors. Twenty-eight Trojans participated in the program last summer.
The students live at the university colleges — Newham and Girton for women; Christ’s, St. Catherine’s and Trinity for
men.
The university provides formal teaching through its faculties, conducts university examinations and awards degrees.
The colleges provide students with a home and advice about their university career and social life.
Through the tutorial system, the colleges also provide informal teaching not restricted to the formalities of the class-

The program is still in the planning stage, and many of the details still must be worked out. Committees in individual departments within the college are revising curricula to fit in the general plan.
Here’s how it will work:
