Eager Candidates Woo New Voters
The eagerness with which political candidates gather youthful votes will reach nationwide status with the individual appearances of Richard M Nixon and John F. Kennedy on the USC campus.
This was the opinion voiced by Dr. Carl Q. Christol, political science department
Hillings Here
To Tell About Russian Visit
Patrick J. Hillings, chairman of the Los Angelos County Republican Central Committee, will describe his personal ex-ienee in Russia during the U2 incident at tonight's Town and Gown dinner meeting.
Former Congressional Representatives and news common- j tator Hillings will address the group on “Russia Revisited" at 6:30 p.m. in Town and Gown Foyer.
Hillings traveled extensively in the Soviet Union during the Summit Conference break-up last May. getting reactions of citizens and government officials on Khrushchev's attack on • President Eisenhower. It was his second visit behind the Iron Curtain.
In Congress he served on the Select Committee on Communist Aggression and the Subcommittee on Communist Penetration in Latin Amreica. of which he was chairman. He succeeded Nixon's term in the House.
During World War II he served three years in the Army. Including an assignment in the South Paficic with the Signal Intelligence Service.
Hillings is a USC graduate and an attorney specializing in administrative law.
A member of Mr. Hillings’ travel party in Russia. Mrs. Thurmond Clark, will introduce the speaker. M r s. Herbert Freston is program chairman fo. the evening, and Mrs. Tracy Strevey is co-chairman.
Mrs. John Wesley Harris. Town and Gown president, and members of her board will be hosts at the dinner meeting.
science head, who noted that both presi- I dential hopefuls have chosen "the leading private university 1 in California" as their vote-get-ting battleground.
‘ The acceptance by Vice Presi dent Nixon and Sen. Kennedy of the invitation to appear individually on this campus indicates two things,” he felt.
First, they recognize that California is an extremely important state in terms of electoral votes. Their being here is a result of the belief of each that to win they must carry California, the department head said.
New Voters
“It also indicates the joint recognition of each candidate that many of the new voters of college age are undecided at this moment as to how their vote will be cast," Dr. Christol cont inued.
He added that “it is equally important to note that Los Angeles is the center of the communications industry. Therefore, their appearance will receive complete radio, television and press coverage."
Dr. Joseph L. Nyomarkay also a USC political science professor, explored a different side of Republican candidate Henrj

By Jl DITH REVNOLDS
Prominent campus political leaders. George Rosenberg and Susan Warschaw, yesterday expressed their enthusiasm over the pending appearances of presidential candidates Nixon and Kennedy on the USC campus.
Both Rosenberg, el^irman of Trojan Young Republicans tTYR', and Miss Warschaw, secretary of Troian Young Democrats (TYD), anticipate increased membership for their clubs as a result of the appearances of the presidential nominees on campus.
Delight«! Response
Miss Warshavv, who is also chairman of Southern California Youth for Kennedy, said that ehe is delighted that the university extended an invitation to Senator Kennedy.
“I am sure that his appearance on campus will stimulate active interest in his election, and it will give the USC student body a wondeiful opportunity to view j
the next president of the United States," she added.
Many new activities and wel-
tical situations than the average person, and it is to the candidate's advantage that he ac-

Rosenberg pointed out that students at USC are predominantly Republican and they seem to express more than average interest in politics.

It is the Democratic Party, he insisted, which has most flowed with this tide.
“It must be the increasing concern of government that large social and economic mechanisms be provided for and greased and lubricated if this tremendous machine that is America is to go forward.” Dr. Baxter declared.
Calling himself an Independent converted to the Democratic ticket. Dr. Baxter said he is willing to “entrust" the job of oiling and running the American machine to Senator Kennedy and the Democratic party.
