“Women have made me what I am today, and I'm glad. To me, every lady is a queen. That’s exactly the way I treat them.”
Nervous Candidate He said he always is ready to bolster a nervous candidate. “I turn a gag on myself when it appears to be embarrassing a participant,” Bailey says.
“I never try to be ‘cute’ or .nake fun of a visitor who is unfamiliar circumstances and on foreign ground.”
To nervous candidates Bailey says: “Relax. Be yourself, and they’ll love you.”
Petitioning for student government offices began with a slow start yesterday, when only 11 persons filed applications.
“The first few days aren't usually very busy,” Dick Messer, elections commissioner, explained. "It takes people a few days before they can decide whether or not to run for an office.”
He said a number of students have questioned whether the grade point requirement of 2.63—the all-university average—refers only to grades re ceived at USC or to grades from other schools as well.
“The requirement pertains to grades from any college, junior college, or university,” Messer continued.

atelv reinforced after giving the desired response; only behavior that is emitted and reinforced is learned; errors have adverse affects; and progress should be gradual from simple to complex concepts in successive steps.
Other rules include a gradual withdrawal of stimulus support; student's observing behavior should be controlled; extensive discriminating training must be given to establish good concepts; and students shouild be permitted to write the program.
“Among these the most favorable seems to be the last,” said Dr. Rigney, “however the procedure has been found to be too expensive to organize.”
Another aspect of programming is teaching machines which received their first significant attention in 1958. The machines were first introduced by H. Skinner in 1866.

Library Trip To Be Held
A tour program to acquaint: students with the floor plan and procedures of the library will begin today, Mrs. Josephine C. Fabilli. assistant librarian for technical processes, said yesterday.
Students wishing to join a tour should meet at the head of ihe stairs on the main floor of Doheny Library at 9:30 a.m., she said. A second tour will be given Thursday at 1:30 p.m. The foul’s will last approximately one hour.
“Guides will acquaint students with the College Library and the Graduate Study Room”, Mrs. Fabilli said. “They will then go to the main floor, where explanation of how to use the loan desk, reference room, periodicals room, and card catalogue will be offered.”
“Furthermore, teaching machines must compete with books in many ways,” he said. “The machines are costly, ranging from $50 to $5,000. They are slow to set up, and the learning by books was discovered by critics to be just as swift as learning by machine.”
A basic study skills and reading course sponsored by the Inter-Fraternity Council for fall semester fraternity pledges will begin tonight at 6:30 in 206 Adm., IFC Adviser ¡Jess Hill said yesterday.
Hill said the course will include vocabulary building, speed reading, note taking, test taking and professional short cuts.
Two men from each fraternity are eligible to participate. They will be selected on the basis of grades.

Dr. Rigney explained that programming techniques are is to determine the adaptabil-the more widely used aspect of ity of the course to the needs

of the men, Hill said. No credit will be given, and there is no cost to participants except for books. The program will be paid for by the IFC and the fraternities.
Other Inquires
Inquiries were also made by persons wishing to run for field-of-study president.
“A few schools did not have persons petitioning for president last year,” Messer said. “This does not, however, restrict anyone in the school from running this year, so long as he has the qualifications.”
The number of senatorial posts available, to be decided by the ASSC Senate Student Affairs Committee, has not yet been computed.
Since the Senate, which must vote on the apportionment ratio, does not meet until after the Feb. 28 petitioning deadline, the number cannot be determined for prospective candidates, he noted.
Responsibility
The apportionment ratio, one senator for every 200 persons in the field-of-study, is now determined by the Senate by a new amendment, designed to give more responsibility to the legislative body, according to Senate members.
Messer said a letter explaining the elections code and deadlines will be sent to all living groups to help stimulate interest in the elections.
FUTURE YELL LEADERS TO PRACTICE FOR JOB
Candidates for ASSC yell leaders will participate in a four-meeting instruction program next week, Yell King Dick Hare announced yesterday.
The first session will be held Feb. 28 at 3 p.m. in 229 FH. There will also be sessions on March 5, March 7 and March 12, Hare said.
The candidates will meet to receive training on the university’s background, athletic knowledge, yell leading technique and university songs and traditions.
Hare’s schedule calls for mandatory attendance at the four meetings.
More than 35 prospective yell leaders are expected to attend the training sessions, Hare said. A selection committee will narrow the field down to five on March 14.
The yell king will be chosen from this group at the general election.
Candidates must have completed 28 units at USC by the end of the semester and both have a 2.25 grade point average during the previous semester and as their cumulative grade-point average. Yell leader positions are open to male students only, Hare said.
TYR Chief Harris Blasts Birch Wing
By JIM PERRY
California’s newly elected Young Republican president, Robert Gaston, tried to eliminate the power of the college Young Republican clubs by backing a raise in dues last December, TYR President Harvey Harris charged yesterday.
Gaston, the John Birch-supported attorney, was elected Sunday by a convention that did not have a single USC rep-

'STILL LIFE' — An oil painting by George Braque valued at $85,000 was given to the university by Film Director George
Cukor recently. The painting reflects a kind of synthesis of cubism and belongs to Branque's work* of the Twenties.
Club Seeks Applicants
Freshman men and women may pick up applications for Freshman Forum today through Friday in 223 and 225 SU.
The new group, the first of its kind at USC, will be sponsored by Mortar Board, senior women’s honorary. Susan 1 Winer and Bronwyn Emery will | be advisers.
I Miss Winer reminded prospective applicants to sign up for interview hours when they return their applications. Interviews will be held Thursday, Feb. 28, at the YWCA.
resentative, although USC has the second-largest Young Republican club in Los Angeles County, Harris 'said. ^
Harris said his club made out its budget last September, based on the usual $2 in dues, half of which went to the central Young Republican group.
Dues Increase Soon after, Gaston backed an increase of $1 in dues. Since USC’s club, and other college clubs, would have had to send in $2, which was all they had collected, they w'ould have been bankrupted if they had registered all their members, Harris pointed out.
“I complained to Richard Nixon in late September, and he apparently clamped down on the movement for increased dues,” Harris said. “But soon after his defeat in November the dues were raised.
To Register “We decided to register the bare minimum,’’ Harris explained. “We signed up just 27 of our 488 members, and didn’t take part in the convention to elect the president of the Los Angeles County Young Republicans last December.”
Charles Crozier, who won the county post, was backed by Gaston, the out-going Los Angeles president. "All college clubs would have voted against him,” Harris complained.
“The Birchers have gained a strong foothold in our state’s group,” Harris said. “We feel that in actuality they’re rightwingers and not true conservatives. Robert Gaston may not be a member, but he subscribes to their tenets.
Look Magazine To Honor Team With Ceremony
By JERRY WILCOX Daily TVojan Sports Editor
Grantland Rice once wrote, “Due to the ingredients . .. courage, mental and physical condition, spirit and its terrific body contact which tends to sort the men from the boys . . . football remains one of the great games of the time.”
Today a team that achieved near-perfection in all of those qualities—the 1962 USC Trojans—will receive the coveted Grantland Rice award, emblematic of the national champion college football team.
The ceremony will take place at noon in front of Tommy Trojan with a number of dignitaries on hand to kick-off a week-long period of displays and movies honoring John McKay’s Trojans.
Sports Editor Tim Cohane of Look magazine, sponsor of the award in memory of the famed sportswriter, will be on campus to present the trophy to President Topping.
In addition to the Grantland Rice ceremony, there will also be a special display in the upstairs commons lounge beginning at 10 a.m. today of the nine team trophies and the 14 coach of the year awards accumulated by the Trojans and McKay this year.
The lounge will be open all week from 10 to 4 p.m.
Another football feature this week will be afternoon showings tomorrow through Friday in Hancock Auditorium of a special 35-minute film of the 1963 Tournament of Roses Parade and highlights of Troy’s 42-37 Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin.
■* Tfee film- will tot shown on the hour four times daily each afternoon beginning at 12.
But the big event of the week will be the presentation of the Rice award.
The Trojan Pep Band will provide the music for the festive occasion, and Tom Kelly, KNX sportscaster and “voice of the Trojans,” will seme as master of ceremonies.
Athletic Director Jess Hill yesterday urged all students to attend the ceremony.
In addition to Cohane, another guest speaker will be Paul Zimmerman, sports editor of the Los Angeles Times, who will represent the Football Writers Assn. of America.
It is the FWA board that selects the recipient each year, and Look magazine presents the award.
Cohane will make the presentation to Dr. Topping, who will pass it on to McKay. The Trojan coach will then introduce his staff and give the award to co-cap-tains Ben Wilson and Marv Marinovich, who will represent the team.
The award will then go on display along with 22 others in the upstairs commons lounge.
Students may see the following team awards won by the 1962 Trojans: Grantland Rice Award, presented to the national championship team by Look magazine; AAWU Championship Trophy; Los Angeles Times Football National Champions Award; United Press International Championship Trophy; and the Associated Press National Championship Trophy and Plaque.
Other tea awards are the MacArthur Bowl and Plaque, presented to the national champion by the board of judges of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame; the “Timmie” Award, presented to the outstanding college team of the year by the Touchdown Club of Washington, D.C.; Helms Athletic Foundation Award; and the Zuppke Award, presented by the Columbus (Ohio) Touchdown Club.
McKay received 14 coaching awards this year, including the Coach of the Year Plaque from the Football Writers Association of America; a Resolution by the Los Angeles City Council; a Commendation presented by Mayor Sam Yorty; a Resolution of the State Senate congratulating McKay; Coach of the Year Award of the American Football Coaches Association; “Timmie” Award, presented by the Washington, D.

Professor Seeks Students For Research 'Unmovies'
Students desiring to express their inner selves in “unmovies” are urgently needed in the psychology department. Dr. Richard De Mile, professor of psychology, said yesterday.
The Aptitudes Research Project of the department under the direction of Dr. J. P. Guilford, professor of psychology, is currently involved in a study of the “Measurement of Social Intelligence” and needs students to pose for still picture stories, or “unmovies” that will be used to make tests for measuring social intelligence, Dr. de Mille said.
“Social intelligence does not refer to one’s ability to hold a teacup or to answer an invitation from Elsa Maxwell,” he
said.
It is the ability to interpret
