Much comment has been made about Dr. Langland by his lit-
erary contemporaries. Says Paul Engle, poet and director of Writers’ Workshops, State University of Iowa, “Joseph Lang-lar.d is one of those rare poets who can bring excitement into his poems and the comments he makes on them.
Sensible Perception “He reads with a controlled liveliness and speaks with a sensible perception. Most of all, his talk and appearance bring an audience very close to the source and energy’ of verse.”
Harold Witt, poet, says he has | always been impressed with | Langland’s command of poetry,
| his true and trained ear, his structural discipline, the controlled sweep of his rhetoric. “But in his recent work there | is added to this, and released i through it. a thrilling power. I j would stake a very great deal on I my belief that his poem cy cle. ‘Harusnicatin Farm,’ is the most impressive accomplishment by a poet of his generation, English or American.”

Of Dr. Langland, who has lectured at numerous universities and on many United States and Canadian broadcasting stations, Stanley Koehler, poet and editor of Massachusetts Reviéw, says, “The poems of Joseph Langland break through the inhibitions of contemporary poetry into music and genuine feeling.
“It is good to see poetry becoming a joy again, as these surely are to the reader and— as Dr. Langland reads them— to the hearer.”
The concert w ill be composed entirely of his works, featuring his Piano Fantasy (1955-1957), Vitebsk. Trio for Piano.

There is no easier way of lickin’ a Bruin than by buying a ,15-cent sucker from a Trojan Chime.
This is the theme song of the spirit group members as “Lick-a-Bruin” suckers go on sale on campus today.
A Trovdition at USC, the sucker sale is a promotion stunt for the annual UCLA game as well as a money raising project for the Chimes scholarship fund.

Responsible for the extravagant funfest is Bob Whitehill, Homecoming rally chairman, whose program will include cheering, singing and dancing.
Whitehill has been planning the show since the end of last semester.
He has come up with an agenda w'hich, in the opinion of Homecoming Chairman Jim Childs, will make Troy proud and spirited.

“But is is now up to the student body to show the team we’re behind the m,” Childs noted.
The official “whooping it up” will start around 8 pm. and is scheduled to conclude at 10 p.m. However, the rally may last longer if there is enough student enthusiasm, Whitehill said.
At 4 p.m. tomorrow a band platform, lights and a public address system will be erected on the Row. Consequently, there will be no parking in the rally area after that time.
During the rally 28th St. will be blocked off between University Ave. and Severance St.
After the rally, the Homecoming events will follow in quick succession.

“Students passing the examination receive unit and subject credit for the course and are, thus, able to accelerate their classes,” he explained. A maximum of 30 semester units of classwork may be satisfied in this way.
“I'd like to see some enterprising student make himself available for one of these examinations so we might see how effective they are,” Professor Queller remarked.
Petitions for the examinations must be endorsed by the honors program coordinators before being presented to the course instructor.

ing to increase management effectiveness and reduce food distribution costs.
This report recently came from Professor Merle MbGinnis,
USC director of the Food Distribution FTogram. which is currently' in its second year on campus.
The Food Distribution Program, the only one on the West Coast, was established by the National Association of Food Chains to raise the standard and enhance the prestige of retail food distribution with employes and the public.
Forty students from 10 states and one from England are enrolled in the program this semester. Last June, the USC School of Business Administration graduated the West's first students in food distribution.
McGinnis noted that the high regard in which the program is held is indicated by the steady growth in the number of “company sponsorships” and scholar- General in Los Angeles for

Seventy-five per cent of the students questioned in a recent Daily Tsojan poll have ei^ier approved or expressed no objection to the sale of liquor near university campuses.
The poll was conducted with reference to the current UCLA-centered liquor controversy wherein the Women’s Christian Temperance Union opposes the granting of a liquor license to a restaurant four blocks from the UCLA campus.
The WCTU recently threatened to bring up an initiative referendum after the Alcohol Appeals Board directed the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to issue a license to Truman’s Restaurant and Drive-in, 1222 Westwood Blvd.
State department files show that Gov. Pat Brown has ordered that liquor sales not be allowed within a mile of any state campus.
The WCTU demands that “impressionable semi-adult youth be protected from liquor hucksters” so close to campus.
Those interviewed at USC, including the dean of students, gen-
erally did not share the WCTU point of view.
“The Alcoholic Beverage Control issued a license to the Beverly Hilton Hotel, which is two blocks from Beverly Hills High School,” said Robert J. Downey dean of students, in support of Truman’s right to attain a liquor license.
The dean of students explained that, if the character of the business applying for a license is reputable — if the business is discriminating in regard to those it serves — there are no real grounds for objection.
“A person who has a drink can be as much a lady or gentleman as one who doesn’t," he says. “It is a matter of proper handling.”
General Tolerance
A sampling of student opinion shows a variety of views but a general attitude of tolerance.
“I would leave the matter of drinking up to the individual. I ! Dorothy Washburn said, “In my don’t see why 2.000* students i estimation, alcohol could be (such as those at USC who are : served within closer limits than 21 or over) should suffer. They're a mile from a campus without
thing to say about, it,” declared Gene Mikov, a freshman political science major and president of his class.
Of a different opinion, Donna Davis, a freshman education major, says, “I don’t think liquor should be sold anywhere near a campus."
Laurie Singer, also a freshman in education, felt that “it doesn't make too much difference because if students want to drink, they'll get liquor no matter where it is sold.”
Own Decision
“People attending a university are old enough to make their own decisions. Many adults are less discreet in their drinking than university students, and no one stops them. Also, if liquor is not sold near a campus, students will get it anyway,” believed Lesley Wenger, a sophomore majoring in English literature.
A fourth year law’ student,
