RELIGION POLL
Roman Catholics Keep First Place
The Roman Catholics kept their first place rank on the religious preferences list for the spring semester, but the Presbyterians passed the Jewish faith in the standings These two religions switch places almost every semester. Dr. John E. Cantelon. university chaplain, said Although total enrollment for the spring semester fell 650 below that of the fall semester, students signing religious preference cards increased from 10,703 to 11,704, Dr. Cantelon noted.
The Methodists moved up one place, outranking the students who failed to fill out cards or indicate their faith.
Most other religions stayed in about the same place, although the Baptists and Lutherans changed places.
Those registered as Protestants without a denomina-drop may be because of a new kind of registration card, may be because of a new kind of registration card, Dr. Cantelon explained.
The Catholics, although they increased in number, still totaled 17 per cent of those registered. This is the same percentage they had last semester.
The five strongest Protestant religions constituted 40 per cent of the students. They are Presbyterians, Methodist. Episcopal. Baptist and Lutheran.
Students whose preferences are organized religious groups on campus total 8,813. This is about 75 per cent of those listed.
Religious preference cards are optional for part-time students and full-time students are not required to fill in their preference, although they are required to fill out a card.

Honors Office Will Toughen Requirements
Program to Drop Inactive Students, Professor Says
Standards for participa tion in the honors program will be toughened for both freshmen and upperclass men next year, Dr. Jay Savage, coordinator of honors courses, said yesterday.
Dr. Savage said the purpose behind the ‘get tough’’ policy was to reduce the number of students now in the honors courses.
“It is our intention to restrict the honors program to the top 5 or 6 per cent of the students in the Colleges of Letters, Arts and Sciences,” he explained. “Right now there is close to 9 per cent.”
Limited Courses
The current percentage, Dr. Savage said, was too large for the limited number of honors courses offered and represented too low a selection standard.
To be called in for an interview,” Dr. Savage said, an entering freshman must now have a combined College Entrance Examination Score of 1.200, as well as honors at entrance.”
Previously, no particular score had been required as long as honors at entrance was achieved.
“It is our experience that students having between 900 and 1,100 on their entrance tests, no matter what their grade points, usually wind up ‘C’ students,” Dr. Savage explained. “Students over 1,100 will probably be good students here.”
Program Participation Students now in the honors program will also have to satisfy a new requirement— active participation in the honors courses offered.
“Some students want the advantages of the honors program but don’t want the work.” Dr. Savage pointed out. “Now we are making a careful survey and those not taking honors courses will be dropped regardless of their grade average.”
Dr. Savage emphasized that students are not accepted on grades alone. The interview, he maintained, is the deciding factor as t>he student is evaluated in terms of desire and potention.
The biology professor noted that the reduction in students coincides with a reduction in the number of honors courses offered. Dr. Savage said that this decrease is due to the curriculum switch to four-unit courses.
All honor courses, the honors coordinator reported, will be on a four-unit basis next fall. This increase in unit value will limit the honors student to only one special class a semester.

Knight Cancels Out Rockefeller Speech
Former Gov. Goodwin J. Knight has abandoned plans to speak on behalf of New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller’s candidacy for president in 1964 during an April 16 appearance at a meeting of the Trojan Young Republicans (TYR).
Knight, who ceased his organized campaign for Rockefeller last week at the gov* ernor’s request informed TYR president Dick Popko yesterday that he would substitute
Dean to Fly To Israel
Dr. Irving R. Melbo, dean of education, will fly to Israel Friday for a month of study of that country’s educational system for the U.S. Department of State.
Melbo will join a New Jersey college president, a Michigan university president and a New York dean of education to look at Israel’s schools from thè primary grades through graduate studies.
The groups will meet in Tel Aviv to conduct the study with the cooperation of the Israeli government.
The dean is a graduate of New Mexico Western College and the University of Califor-
a talk on the Republican fight against socialism.
“It is my considered opinion that the Republican Party is the best instrument to combat socialism and the welfare state in the United States,” Knight said yesterday.
“The GOP has had a splendid tradition, nationally and on a state level, of never compromising principles in this area to gain votes.”
The former governor contended Rockefeller could not be considered a “compromise candidate” or a “liberal” by anyone who had studied the record.
He said he would be glad to answer any questions concerning the record during a question and answer period following his talk, which will be in 129 FH at 3 p.m. the Tuesday following spring vacation.
Knight noted he would term himself a “progressive Republican,” or “open-mind-ed conservative.” He said he finds little to his liking about “mugwumps,” whom he defined as “people with their mugs on one side of the fence and their wrumps on the other.”
The California Republican explained that he has always enjoyed large Democratic sup-
ASSC Board Will Ignore Polls Protest
By VIRGINIA BODIN Elections Reporter
The Board of Inquiry will ignore the ASSC Senate’s protest over last week’s election on the basis that it is not a formal or valid protest, Elections Commissioner Dick Messer said yesterday.
The board will meet tomorrow following the closinsr of the polls for the run-off election that will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Alumni Memorial Park.
Messer said he had discussed the protest with Assistant Dean of Students Tom Hull, and they had agreed that it did not merit consideration by the board for two reasons.
The first reason was that the Elections Code defines an eligible protester as a “student who is eligible to vote.” Messer said because the Senate is a body of students, it does not qualify.
Second. Messer said the “observations” recorded in the Senate protest were not submitted as a formal pro-est.
Senate President Barbara Shell said she would present the protest herself at the board meeting.
Messer said the run-off election will involve candidates for four offices—Senior Class presidential candidates Jerry Craig and Jerry Staub; candidates for Junior Class president Gordon Stra-chan and Brian Wald; Business School presidential hopefuls Alan Katz and Steve Parker; and international relations senatorial candidates Lynn Baker and Hector Orci.

Architect Describes Need For Better City Planning
City planning in the United States should increase, but planners should know how to make a city beautiful as well as functional, the chairman of Harvard’s department of landscape architecture said yesterday.
Hideo Sasaki, who will speak in Hancock Auditorium tonight at 8:15. said at a press conference here yesterday, “There ought to be planning so we can control our environment, but we should consider designs to not only make a city work well but make it beautiful as well.” Sasaki, also a partner in a national landscape firm, reminded prospective planners of the importance of preserving some open spaces.
“If there is a hill, it may be just as important to save it as to move traffic,” he said. Sasaki is also at USC to

Sasaki pointed out that California is one of the nation’s leaders in the number of landscape architects.
“Los Angeles has lots of possibility for beautification,” Sasaki said. “This is really

Last August Sasaki wa? appointed to the United States Commission of Fine Arts by President Kennedy. He is the only Kennedy appointee to that committee.
“We review all the design proposals in a certain section of Washington, D.C.,” Sasaki explained. “We have also advised on many federal government buildings, which have been built throughout the country.”
Instructor Cites Values Of Leaders
Los Angeles city council-men see challenge, achievement and service to others as aspects of the “ideal” occupation, Edwin E. Olson, instructor in political science, reported Friday.
In a study for the Western Political Science Association, Olson determined the occupational values of Los Angeles councilmen by comparing them with those of United States congressmen and of the general working public.
Public Life
Councilmen have occupational motivation similar to members of Congress, whereas the general public tends to mention such aspects as financial reward, physical environment and good supervision, Olson said.
When compared with congressmen, however, councilmen find less challenge in the service and responsibility aspects of the job. They are less disturbed by some of the unfavorable aspects of public life such as the absence of security, lack of responsibility and interference with home life, the report plained.
Devalue Service
Musical Mocks Football Heroes
By ROGER GRACE
The experimental workshop production of the 1920a musical “Good News” by Florence Schwab and B. G. deSylva will open its five-night stand tonight in Stop Gap Theater.
The comedy spoof on college life, starring Johjj Meade and Fred Barton, will be performed authentically rather than as a 1963 satire on the 1920s, Director Stan Comwyn said.
It will be acted in the style of the period, the women standing with both hands on one hip, with a smoldering gaze lowered upon all the bald headed men in the audience,” he explained.
Tickets are available at the drama office, 3709 S. Hoover St., or at the door.
Sets will promote authenticity of the production, he said. Comwyn noted that “Good News” is the most Ambitious experimental production in history of USC,” with five different sets being utilized.
Flappers used in the program were actually worn in the 1920s, he noted.
Rose Bowl Team
Several members of the USC national champion Rose Bowl team will appear in locker room sequences, he related. Quarterback Bill Nel-sen has one of the lead roles, as “Beef Saunders,” he added.
“Not wanting to neglect the ladies in the audience, we have made every effort to fill the male parts with strong-chinned types having the gusto of a Nelson Eddy,” the director said.
The musical comedy deals with the plight of a football hero, played by Meade, who must pass an examination in a difficult subject to stay on the team and wrin the game.
Barton appears as his roommate and Judy Lawrence and Sue Pritchard appear as coeds.
Audience-Oriented
Bill White, lecturer in dra ma. will play the coach,
Pooch Kearney. White, who pictures himself as a sarcastically witty Jimmy Gleason-type in the part, will do the Charleston and the soft shoe.
The Schwab and deSylva play is “audience-oriented rather than a vague and deep “actor-oriented” production, such as the works of Tennessee Williams. Cornwryn said.
Marty Katz and the Tate College Syncopaters will provide music from the orchestra pit, each member attired in a raccoon coat.
Board Taps City Leader
Civic and business leader Harry Buffum has been named to the Board of Councilors of the Graduate School of Business Administration, Chairman Jesse W. Tapp announced Friday.
Buffum is chairman of the board and principal executive officer of a group of department and specialty stores. He is a director of the ex- Southern California Edison Co., and on its executive committee. The businessman also
Alumni Board OKs Changes For Bylaws
The USC General Alumni Association Board has approved changes in the group’s m e m b e rship qualifications and representation on the governing board in the association's bylaws.
The board, meeting last week in President Topping’s conference room, revamped the present constitution and made necessary improvements. Morey Thomas, executive director of the General Alumni Association, said.
G. Everett Metter, president-elect of the association, was appointed chairman of a committee that studied and submitted the revised bylaws to the Board of Governors of the association.
Alumni Dues , A contribution of $25 yearly or the payment of the annual dues of the association are requirements for being a member in good standing, he said. Prior to this, eligibility was given to those who attended USC for one semester.
The husband or wrife of any deceased member, who was in good standing with the association at the time of death, can now be an active member by a written request to the Executive Committee and payment of the annual dues.
The board also decided that any member, past or present, of the USC faculty or Board of Trustees is a member of the association if he pays his dues. He will have full privileges as an active member.
Board of Governors
The name of governing body of the association has teen changed to Board of Governors. The previous title was the Board of Counselors.
The members of the board will be elected by their various schools or colleges of the Alumni Association, instead cf being appointed by the Nominating Committee, as in the past.
The Associated USC Clubs and past graduating classes each are represented by three persons serving for three years instead of the previous seven persons constituting the members-at-large representatives. There are now nine with at least four from College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
This change enables better representation for LAS, the largest college in the university, Thomas said.
“Those councilmen most dissatisfied with their council position tend to be more oriented toward financial security and leisure considerations,” he said. Those most satisfied with their public occupation are more work-oriented and less concerned about material considerations.”
Councilmen who are not
certain of keeping their position and those who have decided to leave it also place less importance on the service aspects of their jobs and tend to stress financial reward, Olson said.
is chairman of the advisory board of the Bank of America office in Long Beach.
Buffum is a member of the founding board of Pitzer College, presently being created as an addition to the group of Claremont Colleges, and vice president of United Way, Inc., a new countywide organ ization of community chests and funds.
In addition, he has bees active in Long Beach civic affairs as a vice president of the Chamber of Commerce and a past president of the Retail Association when this was a part of the chamber.
Presidents Will Gather
Outgoing ASSC President Bart Leddel will fly to Colorado today to participate in the annual Air Force Academy Conference of student leaders.
The conference, which will be held on the academy’s campus, will run Wednesday through Saturday.
“There will be student body presidents and representatives from throughout the United States,” Leddel said. “The conference is held to discuss various issues of national interest.”
This year’s conference will evaluate the job of the United States secretary of state, he said.
Leddel will return from Cclorado Springs Sunday.
Social Studies Sen. Dennis Barr will also go to Colorado.
