Elections Paralyzed by Lost Code
Political Bandit' Steals Legislation In Election Fiasco
Private School Oh, Not Again! Seeks Quality, Heres Zaver Says Topping
Independent colleges and universities must continue to play their vital part in California's educational system. Otherwise, the taxpayer will be forced to shoulder a new and ever-expanding tax burden.
Dr. Norman Topping, USC president, made these statements yesterday in an address before the 33th anniversary luncheon meeting of the California Taxpayers’ Association at the Hotel Biltmore.
Emphasis on Quality
"Tiie case for private colleges and universities does not rest simply on the economy which they represent, however,” Dr. Topping said. “Of even greater importance is their ability to emphasize quality in education. The pursuit of excellence, the striving for quality, is the domi nant function of private universities.”
“Money invested in private uni-vei'sities means a tax savings for the investor, President Topping said, because independent coilegos and universities throughout the nation are learning to make one dollar do the work of three. And that efficient dollar does not come from the tax- j payer's pocket, he said.
Measure Performance
“I would suggest that tax- j payers measure the performance of state higher education by the yardsticks of efficiency and economy which private colleges and universities provide,” the USC president said.
“I feel free to suggest that no matter how vast the state’s program for higher education, there is no reason why public institutions should not. at the j

We called him Ivan S. Za-ber.

But we're willing to make amends.

Shell Company Awards Grant To University
A grant of $1,500 has been given to USC by Shell Oil Companies Foundation, Inc., under a Sl.578.000 donations budget announced recently byr the company's West Coast office in Los Angeles.
The grant is aimed at faculty development. Three other grants were made to Southern California universities and colleges.
In addition to the faculty assistance program, the foundation will provide 100 Shell Merit Fellowships for high school teachers to take advanced summer work at Stanford and Cornell Universities. Also, a number of Shell Merit Scholarships for high school seniors planning careers as high school science and mathematics instructors will be provided.

Dorm Housing Still Available For Trojans
Vacancies are still available in all USC dormitories except in the freshman women's residence halls, reported Elwyn E. Brooks, coordinator of housing.
Most vacancies are in the men’s halls.
“There is still time for students interested in living on campus this semester to move into these empty rooms,” he said.
Vacancies are in Harris, University and Town and Gown Halls and Harris Plaza for women and* in Marks, Trojan, Stonier and Touton Halls for men. Elisabeth von KleinSmid Memorial and College Halls for freshmen women are filled.
About 1,050 students now' live in university-operated residence halls, and another 1,000 live on 1 the Row, Brooks reported. The I dormitories have a maximum ! capacity of 1.200 students.
“Housing facilities at USC are | adequate as of now, but we do have plans for the future. No definite dates or sites have been 1 set for more building, though,” i the housing coordinator explained.
I
The biggest building plans are for married students’ quarters since about 35 per cent of all USC students are married.
Brooks reported that 45 per cent of all full-time students live at home, 12 per cent live in dorms and 12 per cent live on the Row. The rest live in apartments or cooperatives or are over 21 or married.
Applications for spring and fall housing can be obtained in 216 SU.
The Executive Cabinet last night was all dressed up, but because of some political thief, it had no place to go.
The nine-man body was all ready to vote on the fourth Elections Code when ASSC President Bill Steigerwalt reported that all legislative files had been stolen from his
office, including records of the ------------------------------	—1
Election Code.
Cabinet members refused to* vote on the code without seeing it. and they adjourned after a fruitless night of arguing.
President Steigerwalt was fuming. •
“Anyone caught with these records should be kicked out of . school,” he declared.

Existentialism Mirrors Life As Protest of Man s Value
SPACE TOWER -This 550 ft. observation tower topped by a revolving restaurant is planned as one of the feature attractions of the Century 21 Exposition in Seattle for 1962. The tower will sit on the highest ground of the 72-acre site.
Some day people will be as well protected from cancer-causing chemicals as they now are from disease causing bacteria.
Such is the opinion of Professor Phillipe Shubik of the Chicago Medical School.
Shubik gave the second in a series of eight weekly cancer research lectures yesterday at the USC School of Medicine.
A firm believer against scaring people about cancer, Shubik said, “We need to tackle the problem of cancer calmly. It is a matter for scientific inquiry.
“We need a batery of tests in several • laboratory animals to provide maximum safety to man.”
He added that everything we eat should be looked at as carefully as possible.
Shubik is quick to point out that we need to use chemicals to kill pests, in order to preserve and package foods.
