Unemployed Hurt Nation, Dockson Says
The high level of unemployment is a waste of total United States resources and a serious impediment to the smooth functioning of the economy, Dr. Robert R. Dockson, dean of the School of Business Administration. declared at a recent Town Hall luncheon.
“Because of unemployment, we are operating well below cui output potential and. as a consequence, are losing billions of dollars in sales, wages and profits,” he explained.
Dr. Dockson warned that while «'-'.ployment is expected to remain high, further in-crepses in the labor force will lead lo an increase in unem-F.oymenl as well.
Hn noted that the Kennedy administration has attempted to solve the economy problem by increasing government spending and activity.
High Forecasts This solution, he said, in spite of highly optimistic forecasts, has proved unsuccessful and has not generated sufficient demand to reduce the unemployment rate.
On the overall picture, how-American business currently is operating at the highest level in its history, the dean said.
“The apparent sluggishness of the first few months is due primarily to a reduction in inventory accumulation,” he explained.
"Increased spending by consumers and government at all levels will bring about offsetting forces *hat should result in a rise of total business activity of 3 to 4 per cent for the year as a whole.”
Stimulate Economy But the critical question, he maintained is what can be done to stimulate Ihe economy to the point where it is operating close to its potential.
“A reduction in taxes is the only alternative available for immediate action if we are to take up the gap between our actual output and our potential.” Dr. Dockson said.
"However, in the long run, it is imperative that the government pursue additional policies conducive to economic pro-g ess.” he concluded.
New business incentives to expand exports and simplification of anti-trust laws are part of Dr. Dockson’s plan to put new life into the United States economv.

Fraternity Pledges Make Clean Sweep'
By ALAN BINE Assistant City Editor
A 40Q-pdedge wofk force gram
mopped-up Los Angeles last week during a seven-hour sweep through the city's charitable, youth, recreational and service institutions as part of the Inter-Fraternity Council’s third annual "Operation Help Day.”
The pledges, representing every USC fraternity, took a “breather” from their traditional Help Week to participate in the program. They crammed 2,800 hours of cleaning, raking, painting and repairing into the period.
Dave Hepburn and Neal Sal-isian, co-chairmen of the IFC Help Day, expressed satisfaction with its results.
"As far as I know, our Help Day is the only one of its kind carried out by a major university,” Hepkum said.
“We had enough pledges to really put across a large pro-— our largest — this year,” he continued. “Everyone from the IFC adviser, Jess Hill Jr., to the coordinators, and on down to the pledges themselves, worked hard to make the program a success.”
Chimes Ring For Belles
Sophomore, junior and senior women transfers have been invited to attend Chimes’ first meeting of the semester today at 4 at the Delta Gamma house, 639 W. 28th St., President Norvene Foster announced yesterday.
"We would like to meet these women and help them to learn about USC,” Miss Foster explained.
She added that the junior women service honorary hoped this would be a kickoff for individual and group activities with new and former members later on in the semester.
Much "Vigah”
Members of Sigma Chi and Tau Epsilon Phi went about their task with what President Kennedy would call “vigah.” They made shambles of two shacks at Hollygrove Park.
The dust had hardly settled when a barrage of television cameramen showed up to videotape the demolition.
"Where’s the buildings you fellows are going to tear down?” one newsman asked.
A pledge directed him to a heap of two by fours.
"Well don’t just stand there, do something!” the cameraman commanded. ‘‘We gotta have something for tonight’s show.” Water Main
The pledge and a couple of cohorts obliged. They took mallets and crowbars and busted a water main.
All their destruction, of course, served a worthwhile purpose. A site was cleared for more recreational facilities at the park.
Mending, not breaking, was the chief activity at most of the other institutions.
Delta Tau Delta painted the interior of Resthaven Psychiatric Hospital near Chavez Ravine. Marion Jeffery, the hospital's manager, was elated.
"They did a wonderful job for us, she said, “though they probably took more paint home on themselves than they put on the walls.”
Five Daily Trojan staff ap pointments for the spring semester were announced yesterday by Editor Hal Drake.
