Franklin Praises Yes Vote on 13'
Dr. Carl M. Franklin, vice ^president, for financial affairs, yesterday thanked studfe-nts, faculty, staff and alumni who supported Proposition 13 at the polls.
With approximately two-thirds of the votes counted, 70 per cent voted for the ^proposition and in Los Angeles county the vote was running 3-1 in favor of the measure. The exact state count was 1,925,000 in favor and 830,000 opposed.
In a letter to the Daily Trojan, Dr. Franklin said, “I want to take this means o£ expressing my sincere thanks to all members of the* USC family—students, faculty, staff, and alumni—who helped so magnificently in our campaign.”
Proposition 13 asks for removal of a 100-acre limit placed on the amount of property owned by private universities that can be held tax free. The limit was set in 1914, when the average private university in the state only owned about 10 acres of land.
Dr. Franklin pointed out that 100-acre limit was applied when the total enrollment in private universities in California was only 6,000. Present enrollment in private colleges is 55,000 students, and private uni-verisities are expanding to handle the increase.
“Private college ease the tax burden by removing the students that enroll from the public schools. For every dollar a city loses in tax assessment an estimated $31 is returned,” he noted.
Dr. Franklin said that USC will reap no immediate advantage from the proposition and that the exact amount of saving to be made when the university exceeds 100 acres is unknown. The Master Plan for USC calls for a total campus acreage of 150.

Dr. Franklin said that the main point of Proposition 13 was not the money involved but “the principle of whether private, independent collegesi which have contributed so much to the nation, should be encouraged and supported by the state.”
“Most encouraging to everyone who has worked on ! the campaign is that the overwhelming vote in favor L înÊîs e.' ’ 5an . the of Proposition 13 signifies state-wide support for the private sector of higher education in California,” Dr.
Franklin said. “This support is in the best democratic tradition of encouraging private enterprise.”
The tabulation of the \*>tes last night in the other major propositions is 1,455,974 for Proposition 24 and 2.290,923 against it. For Proposition 1A 415,198, and 1,216,545 against it.
Proposition E received 521.845 ayes votes and 857.-538 against it. Proposition 23 failed with 2,009.313 against it and only 1,578,455 votes for it.
CBS Hires Trojans To Report Returns
Eighteen journalism and political science students worked behind the scenes election night to report returns for the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS).
The students, hired by CBS along with a comparable number from other universities and colleges, worked as “special operators” to take phone results from field workers stationed at more than 200 precincts and district headquarters.
Seated around a long table of 20 telephones in Studio C, operators jotted down the information—code number, precincts, districts, time, returns for Nixon, Brown,
Kuchel, Richards and key Congressional races.
Runners, keeping in tune with telephone rings, began picking up telephone slips a few minutes after the polls closed to take them to studio IBM machines which added up gains and losses.
After tabulation, the figures were taken to nearby Studio B where cameras relayed them to the public.
The students at CBS came in ahead of Los Angeles County’s unofficial count and in the early evening had counted more votes than any other network.
Many of the students were surprised at the flood of phone calls that began at a few minutes after 7 p.m.
One senior noted, however, that the calls tapered off about 9:30.
“Most of the smaller precincts had been counted by that time,” he said. “And it was slow going from that point on.”
The students reported that “the work of the di- jswer session with students and rectors and production men was the most fascinating part of the operation.” During lulls, the students visited the control room to see the technical side of tele-sion.
School, today from 3 to 4 at the YWCA.
Dr. Francis E. Jones, associate professor of law, will also speak at the meeting which is the first of a series of cultural programs sponsored by the AMS.
Dr. Jones will discuss law and the Princeton National Law Examination that pre-law students must take.
“At a meeting of the AMS Cabinet last week a cultural program was decided upon, AMS President Hal Stokes said. “This cultural program will feature guest professors and student leaders on campus who will speak on the problems of education and the realities of public life.”
Offer Support
The AMS has met with two honor organizations who have offered their suport for this project, added Stokes. The Blackstonians, an honor society for political science and prelaw studens, and Blue Key, an academic and leadership honorary society, will help plan the programs.
“Bob Flagg, president of Blackstonians, and Dann Moss, president of Blue Key. will be helping us through the year,” Stokes said.
Other speakers who have been engaged for future programs include Mayor Samuel Yorty, who will speak on Nov. 15 from 4 to 5 p.m. in 133 FH.
His talk will be preceded by an informal question and an-

Religion Head Flays Ideals Of Educators
What is worth dying for in this world is one of the most difficult questions asked of college students today, Dr. Richard N. Bender. director of religion in higher education for the Methodist Church, said yesterday at the Faculty Center luncheon.
Dr. Bender, while discussing his topic. “Mark Hopkins Versus the IBM,” said the question’s difficulty is partially due to the increasing use of IBM machines, television, tape recorders and other such instruments in the U.S. educational system. The increase results from the general lack of excitement for scholarship among students and faculty.
Educator’s Ideals
The ideals of these educators form the ideals of the educa tional institutions, and the whole educational community will suffer or benefit to the de gree teachers find the ideals of Mark Hopkins, Dr. Bender explained.
Mark Hopkins, president of William College in the 1890s was a professor of intellectual and moral philosophy who held that the physical nature of man should not be ignored in the general study of the intellectual.
Although close circuit television may better acquaint the student with the material, it is doubtful that he catches the full excitement of learning for its own sake, Dr. Bender said.
This method of instruction does not allow the student to adequately confront and pursue the question of life and its meaning. Dr. Bender said.
Close Relations
Only through interpersonal relationships with the teacher can students learn the levels of human experience needed to live like a human being, he added.
The true meaning of integrity, responsibility, industry and appreciation for literature, art and music can be derived only through such relationships, he said.
Senate Hears Bill To Activate ASSC
The high cost of living in today’s modern world is forcing educators away from classical methods of the search for truth for its own sake and toward the use of automation in education. Dr. Bender claimed.
Such impersonal methods are but an exchange of information without regard for values, he said.
He explained that through constant use of these impersonal methods, the quality and structure of culture will suffer.
BUSES WILL TRANSPORT TROJANS AT STANFORD
Trojan rooter buses will be part of weekend activities designed to help build enough spirit to win the USC-Stanford football game Saturday in Palo Alto.
Bob Jani, co-ordinator of special events, said buses have been chartered to transport Trojan rooters from San Francisco to the Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto.
The buses are scheduled to depart from Union Square, corner of Post and Powell Streets, at 11:30 a.m.
The buses will depart for the return trip 20 minutes after the game. They will return the rooters to Union Square.
Fare for the trip to Palo Alto and return is S2. One way fare is SI.
Tickets for the rooter buses are available through tomorrow in the special events office, 132 SU, or by calling Ext 482. They will also be sold at a pre-game football rally in Union Square at 9 Friday night.
Activities during the Friday night rally will include a parade around Union Square, featuring the Trojan Horse and the Trojan Marching Band. The pre-game rally will be conducted by USC yell leaders.
Jani said the rooter buses and the rally are being coordinated by the special events office.
