HOPES FOR QUICK RETURN !
The tinkling of bells on the ice cream cart of Herman Nathan are once again temporarily silenced on the USC campus.
Nathan, a familiar figure seen selling ice cream ateng University Ave., for the past 10 years, first took a leave of absence last May. At that time, he suffered a heart attack which took him away from his chores for the latter part of last semester and for the entire summer session.
Resting and awaiting his return to USC for the fall semester, Nathan received another setback when he had a hemorrage on Sept. 1. This attack sent him to Midway Hospital for eight days and required the transfusion of eight pints of blood.

Reflect* Debat« Reflecting on Monday night's Kennedy-Nixon debate. Young thinks the unique event brought some new votes to the Democratic candidate.
“After the television debate, I believe Kennedy is running a-head,” Young commented.
Young s support of the Ken-nedy-Johnson ticket is based on his belief that “the more positive program and liberal platform of the Democratic party will keep the United States ahead in its great struggle with the Soviet Union.”
He added that “the status quo which the Republicans and Trojans Young Republicans favor, if continued, can only lead to further decrease of military and political power as well as prestige.”

Speaking for the YDC, Young said that the club "doesn't believe that the Republicans are ready to meet the needs of the Williams’ visit to the Trojan campus is just one of many to be made by key political figures —at least so the USC administration hopes.

Top Debaters To Open Talks In First Meet
Politically Opposite On Favorites in TV
Instructors Comment Presidential Debates
By DICK CAROTHKRS
Two politically opposite USC professors have agreed that on the “great debate” Monday evening their favorite candidate for the presidency handled himself with sincerity.
Dr. Carlton C. Rodee. profes s'T of political science, said h<
was “highly impressed by Kennedy's sincerity, his forthrightness and his whole performance.” On the other hand, Dr. Carl Q. Christol, professor of political ■cience, was impressed very much by Nixon's sincerity, pointing to the Republican nominee's statements and “the way he made
them clear and forcible.”
Dr. Rodee believed that Nixon didn't demonstrate any ability as a vaunted debater.
“Nixon's arguments were devious while Kennedy's were direct. Lacking something to say, Nixon attempted to make Kennedy appear to lack leadership
because he (Kennedy) couldn't, get bills passed in Congress in two or three weeks,” Dr. Rodee said.
He added that Nixon's claim that Kennedy is unable to control his own party forces is not correct.
Speaking of the Democrat's
Kennedy Relaxed, Nixon Requires Audience, Speech Instructors Declare of Candidates
Monday night's historic Kennedy-Nixon debate didn't reveaf much except that the Democratic nominee is a better speaker when an audience isn t around to provide moral support.
That's the opinion of USC speech instructor Fred Williams, who was one of millions who saw the pi'esidential candidates meet face-to-face before television cameras.
“I felt that both candidates hesitated to cla-h on major issues.” said Williams, explaining that “perhaps it was because of the ‘newness’ of the television debate'.”
He also reasoned that the can-
didates may have been unpre- | pared to back up their state- I ments if the “you're wrong. I'm right” type of debate had prevailed.
Williams commented that he thought Nixon w-as more ill-at-ease than his opponent.
“Kennedy appeared more certain of himself. Perhaps Nixon j *mi:ied’ the audience reaction ( which is usually prevalent during a presidential campaign,” said Williams.
He pointed out that Nixon made the mistake of saying that “we’ll have to get rid of the farmers” before correcting himself.	|
However, the speech professor doesn't think it's the delivery that counts in a presidential speech but, rather, what the candidate has to say.
Williams doesn't think that many voters were swayed by the debate simply because heated debate of the central issues of the campaign didn’t occur.
Still, Williams thinks the debates are an excellent example of democracy in action.
“Political debating is the ultimate in democracy,” he noted.
Another USC speech instructor, James McBath, thought highly of the debate.
I McBath said that both candidates “demonstrated unusual competance as skilled debaters and showed rare courage by being exposed by rebuttal and 1 cross-examination.”
He felt that the debate showed that the goals of each candidate are similar but that their means of attaining them are far different.
“If both candidates continue in Monday night’s fashion, neither will profit greatly by the debate as far as votes are concerned. However, mistakes on i one's part could be crucial,” iMacBeth said.
TV presentation, Dr. Rodee said that "Kennedy made all his points, and they were factual, which is something Nixon failed to do.”
Dr. Rodee also felt that “Nixon is a figure-manipulator. He gave some figures and made some statements that were not. in some cases, completely factual.”
The political science professor believed that one thing that will help the Democrats win this election is the stock market trend.
“The stock market is at its lowest point since 1958, and if this trend continues we’ll have a severe recession,” he said.
Also a Democrat aid is the fact that the party now in of-1 fice has permitted the Russians to get ahead of us because its administration is very weak in international relations, Dr. Rodee said.
Altogether he thought the TV program was handled very well.
“I believe the whole tone and j tenor cf the program was on a j high plane. It was a novel experiment and I think it was very good.” Dr. Rodee concluded.
Dr. Christol believes that Nixon was mere subdued as opposed to Kennedy s demago-guery.	I
“Kennedy presented the democratic ideas as if they were his own ideas. The personal pronoun ‘I’ appeared in almost everything Kennedy had to say,” he said.
Dr. Christol thinks that Kennedy will “bum himself out” before the debate campaign is over.
"Kennedy started with a bang, but will fizzle out. Nixon is playing as a sophisticated artist where he starts softly and builds up to a resounding crescendo,” he said.
“Nixon was more sedate in presenting the facts in the debate and he exuded confidence in advancement and the future of the United States. Kenned;, was a purveyor of gloom and docm,” Dr. Christol said.
Dr. Christol forecasts a dark monetary future for the United States if Kennedy is elected.
“The issues are clearly drawn Kennedy is the picture of the big spender. He is asking for a larger national debt and more spending than any one president has before him,” he said.
Botn Dr. Christol and Dr. P.odee concurred that the positions both candidates took were party platforms and that they said nothing startling or unexpected.	|
With last year's national championship under its belt, the USC debate squad begins another season today with its first meeting of the semester in speech B at 3:15.
Dr. James McBath. varsity debate coach and professor of speech, issued an invitation to the meeting to all students who wish to participate in speech activities.
President of the American Forensic Association, Dr. Me-Bath said that debate gives the student an opportunity to learn and discuss the world around him.
“It shows the student how to structure and present arguments and how to think and speak on his feet,” he said.
“Debate also helps the student to learn and discuss current political and sociological trends and to gain confidence in his abilities,” he explained.
The	professor added	that
speech	competition not	only
gives the student an opportunity to	travel throughout	the
country meeting other college teams but also is one of the most scholarly and beneficial endeavors in the academic field.
Squad captain David Alls-wang extended a special invitation to students who have had little or no previous debate experience but who are interested in perfecting the skill to attend this afternoon's gathering.
The USC debate team has a record of either placing in or sweeping every tournament it entered last season.
