SC Recalls Kennedy Advice
Sen. John F. Kennedy, named Democratic presidential candidate last week, issued his first invitation to college students to join him in the political arena to help uplift the profession Irom its present status of “neglect and abuse,” last November when he spoke to SC students on the campus.
Considered then a “prime possi-
bility for the Democratic nomination,” Kennedy came to SC under the auspices of the Trojan Democratic Club.
He spoke in Bovard Auditorium on Nov. 2, 1959 to a capacity audience, warning them that “the world of practical politics and the world of scholarship have drifted far apart.”
The Massachusetts Democrat pointed out that educating students for government positions would be putting education to one of its best possible uses.
Nita Biss, Daily Trojan Managing Editor, was on hand to report Sen. Kennedy’s advice to the SC student body nearly nine months ago.
“The duty of scholars — educated

He explained that America’s first great leaders were America’s first great politicians and cited the versatility of Thomas Jefferson — poli-

Campus Suffers From Convention Hangover'
By JOE SALTZMAN Daily Trojan Editor
More than 200 student volunteer drivers, dazed with a week- \ long excursion into the political hysteria of the 1960 Democratic National Convention, returned to classes today, exhausted, but happily recalling their “mem-1 orv-lane” scrapbook clippings.
The student drivers, chosen by former student body president, Wally Karabian, handled a fleet of General Motors cars; 15,000 political - happy delegates, relatives of delegates and friends of delegates; and an 18-20 hour day.
Some told of trips to Disneyland, SI00 plate dinners, on-the-spot seats at the convention and handsome tips.
Others reported trips to City
Hall, long hours waiting in hot automobiles, on-the-spot lunches and a handshake.
All in all, however, the student drivers were contented having had an experience they could tell their grandchildren about: they were the drivers in a unique transportation service, the first
ever undertaken by a national political convention.
As for this reporter — having turned down the job of driving California governor. Edmund G. “Pat” Brown to the convention because of previous commitments — this week will almost be as lively as last week with
the Republican Convention starting: in Chicago.
The radio anti television will still blare out noisy campaign slogans even though the Los An-gel'es Sports Arena across the street will be silent and forgotten.
SC can certainlv boast of their

achievements at the convention.
| Staff physicians from the SC School of Medicine in addition to two student interns handled I the medical facilities; 14 politi-| cal scientists were given housing and information from the university's dormitories and political- science department; and KUSC-FM gave on-the-spot eov-: erage for their listeners and for listeners throughout the coun-! try.
In today’s edition of the Summer Trojan, the convention Spirit still remains.
Democratic presidential nominee Jack Kennedy’s words to SC students are recalled: Dr. Frank Baxter recalls pictorially a tour of the Sports Arena's communication system; and the BonelH reapportionment plan is outlined objectively and editorially.
