The other four candidates will also receive a wide variety of gifts. These gifts have been selected especially for college women.

A Ford Foundation grant of $40,000 to USC for forgiveable loans to doctoral students in engineering was announced yesterday by Dr. Topping.
This grant suplements a $50,000 grant made to USC for the same purpose a year ago.
The university has received two grants Irom the Ford Foundation in the last two months. The other grant was for $6.5 million on a three to one matching basis.
The forgivable loans are made to students and do not have to be repaid if the students receive their PhD degrees and join the teaching faculty of an engineering school for at least five years.
Candidates for the loans must h.ave a master’s degree in engineering, a related science or mathematics, be 40 years of age or younger, be admitted to Graduate School and he seriously interested in a career in engineering education.
“The Ford Foundation forgivable loan program will enable students to devote full time to graduate study without having to hold an outside job,” Dr. Alfred C. Ingersoll, dean of the School of Engineering, said.

THE FOUR-COURSE PLAN
Change to Start In Classics, German
(Editor’s Note: This is the fourth of a series of articles studying the four-course program slated for the LAS College. The series began last
semester.)
By RICHARD COX
The first two departments to plan their new “unitless” curricula are the classics and German departments, whose programs will go into effect in the fall of 1963. The work of these two has broken the path for other departments and has pointed up the problems which all will face in creating the new programs.
Their experience indicates that it will take each department a good deal of time and work to arrange its curriculum, that; staff sizes wiP have to increase in many departments, but that the resultant curricula will be an improvement over what is in effect today.
Originally opposed to the concept of a curriculum which will allow students to take only four classes a semester, Dr. Edward N. O’Neil, head of the classics department, is now one of its strongest adherents. He believes that USC, in exploring this new formula is setting an example which will be followed by many other universities across the nation.
His department began its reorganization in the spring and has been meeting an average of six hours a week to discuss it. The instructors began from scratch, first determining what approach they would take and then, settling on the inductivc method of teaching, planning specific courses.
The new curriculum will be a stepping-stone affair. Students will begin studying individual classical authors in 300-level classes, move to specific literary forms in the 400s and study entire periods in 500 classes. Three 600 courses will provide an overall summary of classical literature.
Each instructor will teach a maximum of two courses (instructors often teach as many as four courses now). Dr. O’Neil predicts that instructors thus will be able to do a more effective job, although many will miss teaching certain favorite courses.
Classes will meet probably a maximum of three times a week. Another hour may be utilized for an interview between the student and his instructor, and there will be an abundant amount of specific outside readings.
“Some students will take advantage of thi.* program and loaf, but the important fact, is that the good students who are genuinely interested in the subject may go deeper into it than they can under our current program,” Dr. O’Neil explains.
Dr. John T. Waterman, head of the German department, described a method of reorganization similar to that used by the classics department.
Faculty members of the German departmert submitted suggested curricula to Dr. Waterman last summer. He revised, mimeographed and resubmitted them to the faculty. After three drafts and countless intra and inter-departmental meetings as well as meetings with LAS Dean Warren, the curriculum has reached what appears to be its final form.
The German department found the lower division courses to be the most difficult to revise. Basic language requirements have called for four semesters of language. Under the new curriculum the same amount of work must be completed in three semesters. The new lower division courses will utilize an additional hour in the language laboratory instead of cnly one a week as is now the case.

Close Association
The head of the new division will be closely associated with the School of Education, Dr. Loosli said. He will conduct seminars in higher educatior*. and will work with 'loctoral and post-doctoral students.
The education profcrsor has served on institution staffs for the American Medical Association and has served as consultant to the American HeaTt Association.
Professor Breaks Hip
Mrs. Tema Clare, assistant professor of biology, suffered a broken hip yesterday when she tripped at the Faculty Center.
Mrs. Clare was rushed to the Los Angeles Orthopedic Hospital where doctors report "she is doing as well as can be expected.”
Dr. Richard Tibby, professor of biology, commented. "She has been on the faculty many years: she is highly esteemed by her colleagues. We are all extremely sorry to hear of her accident.”
This semester she is teaching courses in wood structure, California trees, floricultu’'« and landscaping. Dr. Tibby said he does not know who will take her place in these courses.
