“Italian Perspectives,“ a tribute to Italian culture, is the current exhibit in the Rare Book Room of Doheny Library.
Some 35 works by Italian writers, politicians, theologians, artists and statesmen illustrate Italian achievement from the Renaissance to the 20th century.
“We have tried to present a panoramic view of Italian culture as shown by a feu of the acknowledged great Italian writers of the past 500 years." Reginald G. Hennessey, head of the library acquisition department, said.
Antiquity has left its mark an branch, many of the writings, but it is an aesthetic antiquity that brings one back to the time of Giordano Bruno. Renassance philosopher, Girolamo Savonarola, Italian monk and martyr and Dante.
Original editions on display include the autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini and the famed i said “Lives of the Italian Painters” by Giorgio Vasari. An early English edition of Machiaveli's ' The Prince" share importance with other notable works.

Teacher Says Coal May Aid Manufacturing
Coal may become an important fuel in a few years for cement manufacturing and electricity generating plants in the Southland, the head of the USC geography department said recently.
The increasing cost of oil and natural gas, the constantly expanding demand for power in our mechanized civilization and new technical skills are pushing i Southern California back to the use of coal as an energy source, according to Dr. John W. Reith, associate professor of geography,
| who spoke at the annual meeting of the Association of Pacific Coast Geographers in San Fran-| cisco.
Because anti-smog laws would prevent the burning of coal in Los Angeles, the USC geographer predicted its use in cement plants in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and even the eventual construction of a coal electrical generating plant in Utah to serve Los Angeles.
Cement manufacturing plants in Riverside and San Bernardino counties are exempt from smog control regulations due to their location, Dr Reith said.

Excellent coal is available in St. George in southwestern Utah, and in central Utah, he said.
In addition to Utah, serious consideration is being given to high quality coals of western Washington, British Columbia and Alaska, the geographer added. These could be delivered to Los Angeles by barge.

Lleras Tells Role In Unusual Peace
(Editor’s note. This is the seventh in a series of articles on Latin American polities by I*enny Lernoux. Today she discusses Colombia’s strange peace.)
By PENNY LERNOUX Daily Trojan City Editor
Colombia, South America’s geographic connection with the bootstrap of Central America, is currently enjoying an unusual and troubled peace after 10 years of civil war.
The man who is primarily responsible for that peace is Alberto Lleras Camargo, Colombia's current president. Possessed of outstanding vision and long diplomatic experience, he brought the warring Liberals and Conservatives together in an amazing coalition, the National Front, following the downfall of military dictator Rojas Pin ill a in 1957.

Basic Tenet
The basic tenet of this unusual political merger is a constitutional amendment knowTi as the “alternation amendment.”
Post-War Italy Acquired New Art
Fifty Works On Display
World War II and post-war years were the turning point in Italian ait, in which young on-temporary artists joined the modem traditions from which they had been cut off.
The products of those year, make up an cxnibii of more thai. jU works by masters of contem poraiy Italian art now being shown at Fisher Gallery as pari o: Italian Unification Week. The exhibit more than illustrates this “New Front" movement.
In a hurry to make up for lost time, these artists saw in Picasso's ‘Guernica" a turning point ill the artists' transformation from Expressionism and desired to go beyond it. The directions they took found a unifying center in the New Artistic Front.
One of the leaders of this movement was Renato Guttoso, who is represented in the USC exhibit by a small oil. "Red Nude." Guttoso's work encompasses all stages of European art from Van Gogh to Expressionism.
A leading modem sculptor, B:\mo Ciacometto. has contri-L'lted a marv elous bronze. "Head of a Man." to the showing.
The most renowned Italian *' tist of the century. Amedeo Modiszliam, has only one small pencil drawing m the exhibit, a

★ ★ ★ Italy Week Hits Troy
“Italian Perspectives,” USC's ■ celebration of the centennial of Italian unification and indepen-I dence, is getting into full swing i this week as a.series of Italian art and book exhibits, plays, films and opera hit the campus.
Four fine arts exhibits, stressing contemporary Italian work, are currently on display in Fisher and Qinnn Galleries from 10
to 5 every day.	*
I
Also currently on exhibit is a display of representative selections of significant Italian books published between the Renaissance and the 20th century. The exhibit is being held in the Rare Books Room of Doheny Library.
Tomorrow Dr. Paul Rinauzlo-DeVille, the only American citizen of Italian descent who can trace his ancestry to a pioneer of the Italian unification movement, will give a public lecture. His talk will be held at 11 in 133 FH.
He will speak on “Pioneers of I the Italian Unit ¡cation Movement” and show picture slides on Italy.
Also scheduled for tomorrow is the showing of “Open City,” the 1945 Italian film which garnered the grand prize in the Venice and Cannes Film Festivals.
Under it, the Conservatives and Liberals alternate in the presidency until 1974. Further, all cabinet positions and government jobs are split down the middle between the two political groups.
Amazing as such an arrangement may seem to citizens of the U.S. where such a set-up would be unthinkable, the system is considered by many to be the only answer to Colombia's political problems at present.
Dr. Hector Orjuela, USC assistant professor of Spanish and a native of Colombia, points out that such a situation was the only alternative to civil war. “The plan is working in as much as it has provided Colombia with a period of normalcy in which to recover from the devasting effects of the Civil War,” he says.
Some Flies
Unfortunately, there are some flies in the political ointment. First, since the government is composed of two opposing parties in such an equal ratio, it is difficult for Lleras to get any legislation passed due to political maneuvering and factional-1 ism within the two parties.
For instance, the Agrarian I Reform Bill currently being considered by the Colombian legislature is having a difficult time getting through and may not | even be passed, although it I would greatly improve Colom-1 bia’s social and economic future.
Dr. Orjuela points out that, in addition to the political fac- j tor, many of the legislators would oppose the bill because i they are large land owners and would lose some of their property if the bill became law.
“Although I doubt that the i bill will go through, I feel it j would be one of the greatest | contributions of the new regime,” he says.
Soul of Movement
The second political problem 1 inherent in the National Front philosophy is the- fact that Lleras. as Dr. Orjuela says, is the soul of the movement. Thus, when his term is over, there will undoubtedly be trouble.
Since Lleras is a Liberal, the next president must be a Conservative. This presents a problem since it is possible that ! some of the factions within the I Liberal party wiil refuse to support a Conservative candidate.
For instance, Carlos Lleras Restrepo. Colombia’s vice-president and tacit leader of the Liberals, recently said that his party would withhold support from a Conservative candidate unless he “wins the confidence of our party, as much by actions in defense of National Front ideals as by loyal cooperation with the government, and shows friendship toward our party.”

will join the ranks of seven other top USC administrators who have acted as masters of ceremonies of the annual collegiate musicale—one of the largest of its kind in the country.
First Year
In its first year, 1954. Dr. Bernard Hyink was Songfest s official host. He was followed by Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid in 1955, Dr. Albert S. Raubenhei-mer in 1956 and Dr. Robert Craig in 1958.
President Norman Topping held the honor in 1959. followed by Dr. Tracy E. Strevey last vear.

“The Songfest Committee again 1 elected to follow the tradition of asking a member of the university administration to be master of ceremonies,” Elbourne said.
Unanimous
i “Because of his popularity with the students. Dr. Downey | was the unanimous choice of the committee for this year,” he added.
The dean of students said that he wa-s “very pleased” at having ! been selected as official host to Songfest this year.
“I consider it a great compliment to be asked by the students to take part in their production.”
I Dr. Downey said. “I am very pleased that I should be included in the list of respected ad-I ministrators who have acted as hosts in the past.”
Dean Since 1959
Dr. Downey has been dean of students at Troy since June of 1959. He came to his present position from Los Angeles State College, where he was head of the department of men's physical education.
Earlier in his career Dr. Downey had been a physical education instructor at USC fro.n 1952 to 1955.
He received his MS and PhD degrees from USC after getting his BA from Pepperdine Coileee, where he was an outstanding member of the varsity footbail. track and swimming squads.

Thirty Groups Compete
For Songfest
Nearly 30 groups representing 45 campus organizations will march onto the Bovard Auditorium stage tomorrow and Thursday to perform in front of six judges in an effort to land a berth in USC’s musical extrava-i ganza. Songfest ’61.
Of the original 30 groups, approximately 18 will survive the prelim judging and perform in the Hollywood Bowl on May 18. Groups will be judged on sing-i n g, appearance, arrangement, preparation and potential by six musical critics whose names are traditionally withheld, according to Songfest Chairman Tim Elbourne.
I
Final judging will take place Thursday night after all of the groups have been heard. Each group will be notified of the re-; suits by telegram immediately after the judging has ended.
Chairman Elbourne said that each group should line up at the south door at the back of Bovard Auditorium at the exact time of scheduled appearance. Failure to appear will result in disqualification, he said.
“At that time group directors must have a copy of their music. a sketch of costumes and a list cf people that are partcipat-iing in their groups,” Elbourne said.
“If for any reason a group cannot make its scheduled prelim, the Co-ordinator of Special Events should be notified before noon on the scheduled day,” Elbourne stated.

Police Cite Local Crime Decrease
A decrease in the local crime rate of the USC area for the first two months of 1961 was reported	recently	by	Captain
Jack G.	Collins of	the Univer-
sity Police Division.
"At this time last year. University Division led the city in five major areas	of	Part I
crime.” he pointed out “Presently, University Division stands third in	the city	in reported
felony offenses.”
Part I crimes include murder, robbery', forcible rape, aggravated assault and the four categories of larceny.
LAPD divisions in the areas adjacent to University Division have reported increases in the crime rate for the first two months of this year. A steady increase in vice conditions has also been reported by the Sheriffs Office in Compton.
Captain Collins attributed the lowered crime rate around USC to the dispersal of vice activities, including the breakup of a concentrated area of prostitution. '
| "Where there used to be . hordes of prostitutes in this area, it is now hard to find a ! ‘streetwalker’ anywhere,” he
i stated.
At least 50 of the “regular’* J prostitutes in this area are now serving jail terms, he noted.
"Because of the publicity by | newspapers and civic organizations which spotlighted this area as one of the concentrated { vice centers, it appears that ! longer sentences for vice offenders are now being given.” the officer explained.
He maintained that the only real way to combat the problem of vice is for the citizen to take an active part in the com-! munity and for the public to re-i main constantly aware of this ' responsibility.
Captain Collins praised the i work of civic organizations in the USC area, especially the ! Council of Organizations Against | Vice, which waged a “relentless j battle” to rid the neighborhoods • of vice.	.
