COFFEE HOURS TO BEGIN FOR STUDENTS, FACULTY The administration will initiate the first in a series of student-faculty coffee hours today from 3 to 4:30 in Town and Gown Foyer. The program is being initiated in response to repeated suggestions from student leaders and faculty members. Th.e coffee hour will be open to all students and is sponsored today by the School of Engineering. The faculty, by attending will place an emphasis on physics, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy and geology, as well as engineering. This meeting will begin a series of six such coffee hours scheduled on Thursday afternoons at two-week intervals from February 21 through May 2. “The main purpose of these meetings is to give both professors and students the opportunity to get together informally and improve the university’s academic atmosphere,” said Dr. Robert L. Mannes, chairman of the University Senate. The program was first suggested at last year’s Student Leaders’ Dinner. It was then taken under consideration by the University Committee on Student Affairs. The committee later recommended the proposal to the administration which finished plans for the program last week. “Everyone was in favor of this idea,” commented ASSC President Bart Leddel. “It furnishes a wonderful opportunity for more personal contact between professors and students.” Topping Lists Da^y Trojan First Uses Swtpes Flag For Ford Aid Faculty, Planning To Benefit Panel Cites Thorns In Euromart Unity European countries are still unsure of their roles as participants in the European Economic Community or “Common Market,” Joseph Nyomar-ky, instructor in political science, said Tuesday.

The panel members emphasized the effect of French President DeGaulle’s veto preventing Great Britain’s entry into the Common Market. “France wishes to mold the Common Market first and then admit Great Britain,” Professor Wohl said. “DeGaulle's aim,” according to Dr. Morgner, ‘is to safeguard the best opportunities in the Common Market for Frenchmen.” “It is vital for the Common Market to move along to world free trade,” he added. “It must not become merely a larger protectionist unit.” High Tariffs “Continued high tariff walls on American agricultural goods, for example, may force some of the members to purchase high-priced French goods,” the economist said. “President Kennedy’s Trade Expansion Act was passed by the last Congress to allow for U.S. tariff slashing in retaliation to Common Market slashes. Each of the three other panelists concurred with Dr. Wohl’s claim that American dominance in world trade ended with the formation of the Common Market. "European political unity eventually may arise from economic unity,” Dr. Wohl predicted. “There are six Common Market members and seven European Free Trade Assccia- ■I The first $1 million of a $6.5 million grant from the Ford Foundation will be used to improve the faculty, increase the university’s fund-raising program and construct a physical sciences complex, President Topping said yesterday. Dr. Topping, speaking at the monthly meeting of the University Senate, said the university had apportioned the $1 million in anticipation of an advance from the foundation on its matching grant. Two hundered thousand dollars of the advance will be used to bolster the fund-raising and physical plant offices and personnel, $300,000 will be earmarked for “faculty enrichment” and the remaining $500,-000 will be used for the science complex, he told the faculty representatives. Attract Professors Dr. Topping said Dr. Tracy E. Strevey, vice president for academic affairs, and Dean Milton C. Kloetzel of the Grad' uate School currently are at tempting to attract six outstanding professors to USC as part of the faculty enrichment program. Add Members “Right now we have in mind adding two top members each for the social sciences, humanities and physical sciences,” the president reported. “Certain increases in faculty sararies were made this semester on the basis of the Ford grant,” he added. "We also hope to increase the number of research and teaching as-sistantships.” Of the remaining $700,000, Dr. Topping said $200,000 was diverted to bolster the fundraising and planning offices on the advice of the foundation. The reason is that these areas must be improved if the $19 million that has to be raised in order to received the full $6.5 million is to be brought in. From. Times If you’re wondering what all the fireworks in the Daily Trojan flag are all about today, it’s just that the staff got nostalgic over the absence of the famous eagle and slogan from the flag of the Los Angeles Times. The eagle and three-part slogan — “Liberty Under the Law, Equal Rights, True Industrial Freedom’’ — have graced the top of Times front pages for almost half a century. Times Managing Editor Frank McCulIoeh said the change, made last month, has been noticed by far fewer readers than the Times expected. However, some readers have asked if dropping the eagle meant the Times was “un-American.” “It’s only typographical,” he says. Businessman Takes Post Charles B. Thornton, a Los Angeles businessman, has been elected to the Board of Trustees, the board announced yesterday. Thornton is chairman of the board of Litton Industries, Inc. “I am honored to have an opportunity to serve this university, which after contributing 82 years of cultural and intellectual leadership to the West is now entering an ambitious and far-sighted Master Plan.” he said. Quorum Causes Debate By BEBE SCHERB Senate Reporter Fourteen ASSC senators voted last night to hold a special election Tuesday for a proposed amendment to the ASSC Constitution. But whether either the amendment or the election materializes will depend on how strictly the Executive Cabinet, which meets this afternoon, interprets the Senate quorum rule. The legality of the election and the amendment may depend upon the mysterious presence of a proxy who was not recognized at the meeting. The constitutional amendment approved at the meeting would lower the required grade point average from the all-university average to a 2.5 for executive offices of the ASSC and field-of-study. It alsa would require a 2.5 average for senators. This bill will seek student, body ratification next Tuesday during & special election if Election Commissioner Dick Messer and the Executive Cabinet uphold last night’s meeting. To constitutionally pass the amendment and hold an election, however, a Senate quorum must give a two-thirds favorable vote. The Senate roll call indicated that only 14 members were present and no proxies were recognized during the meeting. Sen. Secretary Diane George maintained that 14 members and one proxy of 29 members were present. The ASSC Constitution however, that a Senate The support already given ¡states this plan by foundations, cor- qucrum is “one more than one-porations, civic leaders and the half of the membership,” which general public insures that the is 15 or 16 members—depend- university will prepare its graduates to meet the vast challenges and opportunities of the future,” Thornton explained.

In 1948, Thornton became vice president and assistant general manager of Aircraft Co. ing on constitutional interpretation. The Constitution also states that to call spec'- • meetings of the Senate ‘‘all members of the Senate must be notified no less than twenty-four hours in advance of the specia' meeting.” Communicatio i Sen.

The cabinet will present awards to the winners of the recent Bill of Rights Contest, he said. A High School Stag Program, designed to inform graduating high school men about USC, will also be discussed. The cabinet also will review the budget. r I The most complex problem; that the Los Angeles city attorney’s office must deal with is water and electrical power, City Attorney Roger Arnebergh said yesterday. Speaking in the fifth meeting of a series of AMS-spon-sored speakers, Arnebergh said the problem at present has the city involved in a U.S. Supreme ; Court case against the state of Arizona over the right of Los Angeles to build another dam on the Colorado river. “Most of the power preb.'ems with water and electricity involve social, polifcal and economic as well as legal problems that account for their complexity,” he explained. Arnebergh said, however, his office also has to cope with great organizational problems as well as having a broad area to supervise. The city attorr ey's office drafts city ordinances, prepares city contracts, acquires property for civic improvements, writes legal opinions for the Icity, defends the city in court “The attorney r office must j enforce all such laws as the Pure Foods and Drug laws, zone laws, building and safety jlaws, and unlawful practices in isw and medicine. “We try 125,000 cases a month in the courts.” he related. "Of these 125,000 cases, we try 75,000 traffic cases and 25.000 to 30,000 other cases, i “We also hold between 1,500 to 2.000 hearings a month on regulatory affairs. We are trying to arrange it so that instead of hearings on all cases of a regulatory nature, the offenders will be forced to comply with the law within a given amount of time. I “if they fail to comply, then the attorney's office will prosecute. Thus method would cut drwn on our work tremendously.’’ Heavy legal work comes, gation, Arnebergh commented hovever {rom thc dviI djvision “The greatest source of our of tht office’s work, Arnebergh legal work is in criminal affairs added.

The city attorr ey's office drafts city ordinances, prepares city contracts, acquires property for civic improvements, writes legal opinions for the Icity, defends the city in court “The attorney r office must j enforce all such laws as the Pure Foods and Drug laws, zone laws, building and safety jlaws, and unlawful practices in isw and medicine. “We try 125,000 cases a month in the courts.” he related. "Of these 125,000 cases, we try 75,000 traffic cases and 25.000 to 30,000 other cases, i “We also hold between 1,500 to 2.000 hearings a month on regulatory affairs. We are trying to arrange it so that instead of hearings on all cases of a regulatory nature, the offenders will be forced to comply with the law within a given amount of time. I “if they fail to comply, then the attorney's office will prosecute. Thus method would cut drwn on our work tremendously.’’ Heavy legal work comes, gation, Arnebergh commented hovever {rom thc dviI djvision “The greatest source of our of tht office’s work, Arnebergh legal work is in criminal affairs added. The civil division covers involving misdemeanors and a very broad scope. Depart-oth^r cases of a regulatory na- ment? include harbor, airport, ture,” Arnebergh said. kvvattr, fire and powerf h n i ROGER ARNEBERGH . . . City Attorney cases and handles special liti- |
