Topping Picks ^ LAST ISSUE Pasadena Man
To New Board
Robert L. Minekler of Pasadena. long prominent in American business and public service, has been named chairman of the newly formed board of Councilors for the Graduate School of Business Administration at USC.
That announcement came today from Dr. Norman Topping, USC president, who reported that Minckler's acceptance of this new responsibility had been received by USC’s Board of Trustees.
The Councilors group, which Minekler will head, will be one of several boards being formed to advise and actively assist various of the USC graduate schools. Dr. Topping added.
Speaking for the School of Business Administration, Dean Robert R. Dockson declared, “'it is a distinct honor for USC and for the School of Business Administration to have a gentleman of Minckler's stature accept the chairmanship of this Board of Councilors.
“Minckler’s board will study the programs of our school, reporting annually to President Topping and the Board of Trustees its appraisal of these programs and their impact on the community, the region and the nation and making recommendations for increasing this impact.
Arrange Events “Minckler's group will also actively participate in the arrangements of events such as meetings and forums.
Similar responsibilities will be assumed b- the Boards of Councilors for other USC graduate schools, as the formation of these boards is completed, President Topping explained.
Hold Meeting ‘'It is our plan to complete organization of this board imme-
Ethcl Barrymore once finished a play with the impromptu lines, "That’s all there is; there isn’t any more.” She did it in an attempt to get off the stage after a round of enthusiastic curtain calls. She was happy to get off the stage, but then again, her love for the theater made her sad to see the play end.
We’re much in the same position now. Today is the last edition of this semester’s Daily Trojan. We resume publication on Feb. 7, beginning the second semester of the academic year.
Although we’re happy to finish the daily chore of editing this college paper, we're also sad that the semester is over.
Unlike Actress Barrymore we’re not trying to escape rounds of applause, for the campus, more often than not, has been angrv at us, sending us irate letters rather than asking for “extra curtain calls.”
And this is good. If we’ve brought up subjects which have made this university community think, if we’ve brought up subjects which have caused controversy and discussion and if we have presented all of the facts of the issue of that controversy, then we have done a job for this university.
Whether it be a report on the presidential candidates speaking on campus, on getting lights in the Annex, or on a debate with the Senior Class, we have concentrated our efforts on producing a college paper which can stimulate student thought on a variety of matters—local, national and even international.
If our editorial and news policies bother you, if you don’t agree with us, or if you would like to see something in the paper which you feel is needed, please write us.
Until this February .when we begin the .spring semester, we await your suggestions.

A glance at the musical calendar for the next two weeks reveals many diversified musical events.
The USC Symphony Orchestra will feature a program of works for solo performers and orchestra in its second concert of the season Sunday evening at 8:30 in Bovard.
A group of soloists from the School of Music has been chosen to appear with the orchestra. The group consists of three pianists, a bassoonist, a soprano and a trumpeteer.
Strauss Opener
Opening the program will be Richard Strauss’ Burlesque for Piano and Orchestra, played by pianist Michael Cannon, a junior in the School of Music.
Soprano Barbara Phillips, a graduate student, will sing one of the concert arias which Mozart vtrote for orchestra, the aria “Bella mia fiamma.”
The andante and allegro from another work of Mozart (the Concerto in B-Flat for Bassoon and Orchestra) will be played by senior John Fessenden.
Huang Plays
Junior Ebe Huang, pianist, is to play the Konzertstuck for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 79, by the German composer Carl Maria von Weber.
Thomas S.evens, a senior in the Music School, will play the Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra by Michael Anderson, who has studied composition at USC.
The final work on the program will be the Concerto No. 1 in F-Sharp Minor for Piano and Orchestra by the Russian Serge Rachmaninoff. Graduate student John Steele Ritter is the featured pianist.

The main types of animals to be collected, classified and studied will be various sea worms that live in the ocean bottom mud, especially near sewage outfalls, many varieties of shrimp-like creatures called an-thropods and the smaller species of mollusks which include snails and clams.
It is hoped that by determining the principal types of animals that live off the Southern California coast their distribution and living habits scientists will be able to understand the important links in the food cycles of all marine life. Also, these minute animals, all between a twenty-fifth and three-thousandths of an inch, are closely connected with the chemical and physical change in the ocean bottom sediments.

Miss Liberatore, who is directing the play for a thesis production, described Seumas as “typical” of the tragically human characters in the play.
“We have tried in both direction and interpretation to make the setting authentic.” she said. “With six of the 11 leading characters in the play being of Irish descent, it was possible to illiminate the commonisms of Irish dialogue.”
Special effects for the January 10-14 performance at the Stop Gap Theater will include stereophonic sound effects and a setting designed by Miss Liberatore comparable to the original set at the first performance of “Shadow of a Gunman“ at the Abbey Theater.
Curtain time is 8:30 p.m.

Heim Hits USC Trail of Success
By BERNARD N. PETERS
A few months ago a lanky 19-\ ear-old USC jun;cr hit the campaign trail. He traveled more than 1.509 miles dui'ing one week: met with lawyers, farmers, housewives and businessmen: ta^ke'1. with people at ban-quets. picnics and town halls; ate fo-?ds he never heard of. let alone pronounced.
Hugh Helm was helping his father beecme re-elected county attorney of Cochise County in Arizona, a job be has held for the past 20 years.
"I like people.'’ Helm, a soft-spoken youth, said. “And I don't d'strust them.”
Pciiple. in turn. have had much trust and confidence in Helm. In addition to having served as president of the Sophomore Class, he is now serving as president pro tempore cf the ASSC Senaie, a job comparable to Speaker of the House.
Locking back. Helm conlides that he's had more success than he really expected.
"It was frightening to come to USC and Ln< Angeles from a small dinky town in Arizona
(Douglas, pop. 10.0001. And it ! was quite unlikely that I could ever get into student govern- I ment.”
But Helm has always worked hard for success and has earned all of the success and recognition he's had.
Graduating from high school with a 4.0 grade-point average and valedictorian of his class, he was also one of three Arizona high school graduates out of 700 to receive full-time NROTC scholarships.
Now at USC. he not only is maintaining a 3.55 grade-point average (four semesters with 18 units each I but also was selected as outstanding NROTC Midshipman as a freshman and sophomore.
Helm, a business administration major, plans to do graduate study in law’ after serving foui years in the Marine Corps.
Although successful in student politics. Helm doesn't foresee a future for him in national politics unless there’s an opportunity awaiting him.
This would be comparable 1o his political beginning at USC.
Delta Fraternity, Helm was encouraged by his fraternity brothers to run for president of the Sophomore Class.
“I didn’t know whether I could win, but my friends had confidence in me and gave me much encouragement, advice and
I As a member of Phi Gamma , heljj,” he recalls.
Helm is a film believer in obtaining as much advice and criticism as possible before making a decision.
“I've made all the important decisions in my life since I was 12,” he said, adding that he always “weighs the advice” of his parents and close friends. “Two or more heads are better than one.”
This is one of the qualities ihat makes a true leader, and Helm follows it out as part of his personal philosophy.
“Everyone should be strong, have a sense of direction and be flexible. No one should be afraid to change plans if things aren’t working out properly,” the young senator holds.
Helm believes student government leaders should follow more long-range plans than short-range plans.
“We’ll have much more pride in USC 15 years from now if we know that something we do now will be extremely successful then. We shouldn’t try to do something big just to get our names in the paper for one semester.”
He also believes that nothing is unchangeable.
“Even the most perplexing and baffling problem has a solution. There may not always be an immediate answer, but some improvements can always be made.”
Helm describes himself as a combination of the “conservative student” and the “typical college type.”
“I like to have a good time on campus, but I also know that this is the one opportunity to oi>-tain knowledge and experience. Time is too valuable to waste.”
And he doesn't waste time either.
Each niEjht liefore going to bed. Helm makes out a time schedule of things to do the following day. After his usual five hours of sleep, he faithfully follows out his schedule.
Helm enjoys sports, both as a participant and as a spectator, lie classfies studying as a hobby, too.
“I really enjoy studying. I don’t consider it a chore, and this makes college just a little bit easier.” *
Registration has started for the 13th annual Ministers Convocation to be held at USC Jan. Brewer 24-26.
The meeting of 500 Protestant religious leaders and students will be sponsored jointly by the Southern California - Southern Nevada Council of Churches, the Southern California School of Theology and USC.
Speakers who will be on the program each day will be Dr. Theodore Gill, president of San Francisco Theological Seminary, and Dr. Maldwyn Edwards, president-designate of the Methodist Church of Great Britain.

Daily Trojan Assistant City Editor
AMS President Mike Guhin reported yesterday that a lack of communications was responsible for the strong censure of his organization passed by the ASSC Senate Wednesday.
The student leader expressed confidence that much of the attack was “a mistake.”
“The AMS has planned many events for the remainder of the year, but we haven't announced any yet,” Guhin explained.
“That's probably the reason that we were singled out for criticism," he said.
Senate President Pro Temp Hugh Helm, sponsor of the bill that ttacked AMS, responded to Guhin's reply with a demand for proof.
Ha* Duties
“The AMS president has certain duties he is supposed to have been performing all semester long—organizing the Knothole Gang, for instance,” Helm said.
“How can better things be j promised when even the mini-; mum duties of the office ha en t | been fulfilled?” he asked.
Minimum Standards, name of the bill passed by the Senate, makes elected representatives of ! the classes and officer of AMS and AWS responsible to the Senate for the performence of their ; duties.
The bill. Helm said, is designed to combat student apathy by guaranteeing effective activity by all officers.
Will be Considered
The bill will be considered Tuesday by the Executive Cabinet, which is composed of.the four class presidents, and presidents of AMS and AWS.
All of these officers can theoretically have their operating i budgets frozen and can be sus-! pended from their jobs by the Senate if the bill is approved.
'I feel that the Senate feels ! strongly enough about that matter to override a veto by the Cabinet.” Helm said.
Not Effective
Helm insisted that he does not feel the AMS has been ef-j fective in representing the men students in government.
“The AMS is a very large or-; ganization. If it is not effective-j ly operated, a lot of students | are denied the representation i that this student government is i trying to give them,” the busi* j ness senator charged.
"I am going to keep pushing ¡this issu? until I am assured ! these men are being adequately represented,” he reported.
