Russian Tour Brings Insight To USC Coed
Many Russians regard Lenin as God and Khrushchev as the son of God.
This was one of the impressions gained by 20-year-old former USC coed who spent a month in the Soviet Union on an American college student t o u r. j during which Russian was the only language spoken.
Miss Bates, who has studied j Russian at the university for two years, flew to the Soviet |
Union on a study tour conduct- j ed by the University of Michigan. There were 18 other students. 2 professors and the wife ; of one of the teachers in the party.
Before the group left the j United States, eight weeks were spent in intensive study of Rus-sian at Ann Arbor, Mich., equal to a third vear of study of the language.

Although she found Russians friendly, eager to talk and less hesitant to meet a foreigner shchev can talk behind the back alone, than is generally supposed an American can go only so far in trying to explain or advocate democracy. Miss Bates said.
“The young people of Russia are honestlv convinced that so-

A course in civil liberty. Soviet -style, was given firsthand to a USC junior this summer.
Richard C. Colyear. a major in business administration, was arrested and interrogated by the Soviet secret police while on a student tour of Russia this summer.
Colyear said that he and two other students from the tour met four Russian students during a walk in Leningrad. The seven went to a small restaurant for a chat and then adjourned to j one of the American's hotel | rooms before they noticed Russian police were keeping them under constant surveillance.
Told to Leave “We hadn't even sat down j when the secret police arrived and told us to lea\e,” Colyear said.
When the police left, I decided to invite the students to my room. I left 'the room for a moment to locate some food, and. as I was walking through the halls, 1 ran into a swarm of police.”

“Everyone was very friendly. As soon as I would stop to talk to one person, a crowd would gather, and there I would be for the next several hours,” he noted.

Yesterday, 24 men signed up to take their place in USC shells. The only requirement for a man to row’ for Troy is that he be at least 6 feet tall and physically fit.
Although the crew’ is not given the same support in the West that is given football, baseball and other big sports, many eastern schools are rated athletically by the quality of their crews.
Crew co-captains and varsity coxwain Stan Gottlieb said that, in addition to the stimulant of athletic competion and the earn-

Professor Gives Key To Business Success
Ceremony Participants
A strong desire to advance and a willingness to pay the price are the only real ingredients for success in business management, said Dr. William B. Wolf, visiting professor of business administration, yesterday.
Dr. Wolf told the Society for the Advancement of Management at their noon meeting that the question of whether management skill can be taught still arises in the area of business ings of a letter, USC oarsmen management development.

ganization,” the visiting professor remarked.
Evidence indicates that movement up the hierarchy of management is related to the ambitions and activities of the man, he continued.
“The price a man must pay to rise is hard work, social and physical mobility, an assertiveness in defining one's own job and redefining it, a respect for one's immediate superiors and an orientation toward performance rather than personalities,” Professor Wolf concluded.
