Kennedy Won In Big States,
-Dr. Anderson
Bv MEL MANDEL
Success of John F. Kenned>'s presidential campaign was largely due to the Democrat's plan Af capturing the vote in the big states. according: to a CSC political science professor.
Dr Toiton J. Anderson, head of the department, explained that the Kennedy victory was partly a result of a campaign plan in which Democratic efforts w ere concent rated <»n the nation'« seven largest eleciorsl states.
Kenned>’ captured Michigan. California. Illinois. New Yoik. Pennsylvania and Texas for a total of ISO electoral votes out of s possible 205 in these seven
big stgte«.
The Senator's only loss to Nixon in these strategic areas was in Ohio, where the Vice President tallied a plurality of more than 150.000 votes in ringing up his victory. The state's 25 electoral votes were hardly enough to send Nixon on his wav to election.
The pre-election pal payed off well for the Democrats as they captured six of the seven big states, while winning in just enough slates in the "Solid South" and the rest of the country.
Dr. Anderson expected a close race in California for the stale's 3"? electoral votes, and the presidential returns suhsiantiated his prediction.
However, he had expected Nixons home state popularity ■ nd favorite-son role, together with the Republican's huge cam-T*»ign efforts. to offsei the Democrat » registration edge and hrinj the \"ice President a victory here.

The renowned author and so-I cial scientist noted that the machines have demonstrated a po-! tential ability to .replace the creative “professional” worker as well as clerks and laborers.
Further Explanation Coming ! Dr. Simon will enlarge on his topic "The Simulation of Human Thinking" at the meeting of the computer research field tonight | at 8:10 in Hancock Auditorium.
The address is open to faculty members, students and friends of the university.
"We already have machines that ate able to perform tasks which were previously thought to require personnel with long experience or college training."
Dr. Simon said.
"There are also symbol manipulators 1hat can be procrammed in such a way as to carry’ out a sequence of activities that if carried out by humans would be called ‘thinking,’" the educator added.
should \ot Re Confused Dr. Simon noted that the "highly selective searching among alternatives" done by many computers should not be confused with simple problemsolving.
He added that a greater knowledge of man s mind has resulted from the development of digital computers.
"On the basis of our work with computers, we are rapidly gaining an understanding of the operating processes of the human mind while ihinking." the researcher said.

Steigerwalt Hits Rabble; Defends Student Control
SEE THE LIGHT — University officials responded to an editorial in yesterday's Daily Trcjan by ordering floodlights
for students attending night classes in the Annex area. Lights will go up between Hoover St. and McClintock St. soon.
By HAL DKVKK
Assistant City Editor
An outraged ASSC Senate voted unanimously last night to override Tuesday's Executive Cabinet veto of the Student Finance Code.
In a rare move, ASSC President Rill Steigerwalt turned the gavel over to president pro tem Hugh Helm to denounce the Cabinet as "rabble" and "political vultures."
Red-faced with anger, Steigerwalt told senators that the Finance Code was turned down by an irresponsible Cabinet in less than 25 minutes of consideration.
"Not one of these executive directors of your student body and mine attempted to study this bi'l prior to the Executive Cabinet meeting.” Steigerwalt reported heatedly.
Voices Opinion
Steigerwalt abandoned his position as liaison between the Senate and Cabinet to voice his opinion- as a representative of the entire student body.
"The establishment of *a stu-
their "politically vested interests" and show responsibility to the electorate.
"This Senate has shown it is concerned with programs of action rather than wild claims of grandeur. I doubt if many Cabinet members can do the sames," the angry student leader claimed.
'latter of Principle
"This bill is more than iu<) a Finance Code.” Steigerwalt continued. "It is more important than that. It us a principle—the principle of whether this student body Is to have the voice, the actions, the program which it desires or whether it is to have the same re-done and trite political activity of the past ten years.”
A warm round of applause from senators and gallery accompanied Steigerwalt as he resumed his seat. Senators rose one-by-one to denounce the ('ah- \
inet and thrw the full support of their class councils behind the finance measure.
Senator Bernard Elias heaped ridicule on the argument of council presidents who had opposed the bill because they found it impossible to submit their annual budget by the December deadline.
"Any president w ho doesn t know what he is going to do after six months in office shows he is derelict in his duty as a class organizer." Elias noted.
Murmurs of relief and tidings of victory were exchanged after the white ballot as determined senators braced themselves for a final showdown with the domineering, happy-go-lucky Cabinet.
Sparked by President Steigerwalt. the Senate got off its knees and for the first time struck back at the executive oligarchy. It was quite a sight.
Lighting System Announced For Night Annex Students
Floodlights will soon be installed by the university in the Annex area betw-een Hoover St. and McClintock St. to improve the lighting conditions for students attending night classes.

In the past year, the university has persuaded the city to provide better lighting in the areas surrounding the university but not owned by it, Lazzaro said.

have been completely erased. New buildings dot the country. The people appear well dressed and well fed. French tourists swarm over the test of Europe and to their own resorts in search of vacation fun. On the surface the economy seems as promising as a French pastry.
Yet. even with a more unified government under de Gaulle, the
hope of (lie EurCp-'Pn ("i	!"•>:
Market and apparent prosperity, Eranee hat an Achilles heel that is slowly draining her life blood —Algeria.
Throughout the country and especially in Paris the greatest de sire voiced was for the quick settlement of the Algerian proo-1e m. Already thousands o f French lives «nd many more francs have boon spent by the government to hold on to this North African colony.
And daily the problem grows rrore acute, as evidenced by the recent Paris riots and de Gualie's w histle-stop, personal campaign to get support from the French masses for his government.
Masses Snu'ri«, Cry The mases squirm, turn and cry' as they see their sons killed in Algeria and see the national budget bemg slowly drained to maintain the war effort. The sons are not too happy about ’t either.
As some new recruits, no old-1 er than I, told me in Laon, a hilltop city in Northern France with an old cathedral and a military base. “We certailv don’t want to go to Algeria, but we re in the armv and it's Mir duty.” One of them laughingly added. • 1 voliin,c<-|-ed to fight in Alg"1 ■-

Probably the greatest problem of the issue is the fact that there are no longer any absolute rights on any side in the struggle.

Zoia Subject For Lecture
The leader of a French literary movement. Emile Zola, will be discussed by Dr. Rene Relle, head of the USC French department. today in another r> f the School of Medicine's humanities lectures.
His talk is outlined "Emile Zo-1 la and French Naturalism."
‘ Zola was the leader of the Naturalism movement.' Dr Belle said. "He felt that the writer I is similar to the scientist in that both utilize observation and ex-| per mentation.
The lecture will take place from 12-1 p.m. in the auditorium of the L. A. County Hospital.
Dr. Belle has traveled extensively in Europe and has taught at the University of Aix-Mar-seille, Stanford University, Mills College and the Lycees of Beau vais and Janson in Paris.

"It is mv I belief that it is the desire of our constituents to accomplish just such a student voice.” Arguing that "he who controls the pursestrings will rule the ; government.” Steigerwalt charged the bill's opponents were "political masterminds” who preferred to keep student government at the 4pre-laW debate and civics course stage.” The student body president inferred that the class presidents who opposed the finance measure w'ere afraid to submit their class budgets to audit.

"All too often. our moneys have been spent in areas which were more political than feasible," Steigerwalt explained. "We not only need accounting and 1 reporting (of funds» but we definitely need a decision-making body to watch where all student /unds ate being spent.”

Finance Veto Betrays Students Confidence
|F.d|lor'i note; The following i* an pditorial expression hy Senate Reporter Hal Drake. It I* » summary of Dailv Trojan attitude toward went »vent« in the student government.)
♦ -* *
The ASSC Executive Cabinet veto of the Senate-approved student finance act represents a I final blow to the patience of ! those students who have been i supporting "responsible government.”
We have been disappointed by this bod.v in the past. Instead of providing the leadership for which it was created, the Cabinet hi’s become the last stronghold of the archaic play politicos who were removed from power by the new ASSC Constitution.
In contrast to the sincere, if occasionally futile, efforts of the Senate, the Cabinet members have continued to regard their posts as mere playthings.
“Stomp Out Comedy”
It is ironic that Junior Cla^s President Jim Harmon, who promised to “stomp out the comedy" in student government only added lo it when he made one of his few appearances at the Cabinet meeting Tuesday.
Just what is the beef?
The finance act passed last week is designed to remove the scar that has hampered every Senate for the past 15 years. It is designed to return the administration of student funds to the students.
'Die right to handle .student funds was removed from the ASSC more than a decade a^o when corruption and mishandling was rampant among officials. Succeeding Senates have
.ince struggled sinrj under thia financial impntency but have been he'p'ess to counteract it.
As a result, the student voice has become a whisper. The Associated Students have become a hopeless scattering of uncoordinated. pathetic attempts at order and improvement.
The finance act, which was the first step toward returning a true cohesive student govem-i ment to USC. has been supported by faculty and administration.
Overlooked Real Purpose
'[Tie Executive Cabinet vetoed
the measure because it conflicted with the personal interests of five of the members. Freshman President Gene Mikov, Sophomore Piesident Steve Per-lof. Senior President Ken Un-macht ¡¡nd ASSC Vice President Sharon Kelly- joined Harmon in opposing the measure because it would minimize their own financial powers.
The Daily Trojan feels thc-.e Cabinet members overlooked the real purpose of the bill. We feel there has been a lack of communication between the Senate and the Cabinet, and between the Cabinet and the w-ill of the students.
The Daily Trojan intends to help correct this improper condition. With next week's Executive Cabinet meeting, we will launch the first ‘‘Sketches of a Forum." a series that will present the Cabinet members and the» ideas individually and col-lectively to the student body.
We want an end to stalemate government. We want an end to legislative hypocrisy.
