»tth a »eries of complex and setious problems during the 1960s. an authority in the field of education said at the Faculty Luncheon yesterday.
Dr. Earl V. Pullias, professor tn( higher education at USC. listed five of the serious prob-lems which he believes will confront higher education in the coming years.
Prolonged Emergency
The most fundamental problem. Dr. Pullias said, is academic freedom and the responsible n<e of this freedom. Institutions of higher learning “must not become dominated by special interests" or become influenced by special bias, said Dr. Pullias. former dean of instruction at Peppetrline College.
becomes afraid of freedom and lends to try lo suspend it. Dr. Pullias said. "We are in a time of extended, prolonged emergency," he added
In such a lime, new ideas are most urgently needed. Dr. Pul-lias affimied.
{Quantity-Quality Problem The answer to the problem of keeping academic freedom in this time of emergency is to "use our freedom with the utmost responsibility," the educational expert said.
The second problem descrioed by Dr. Pullias was the "quant-ity-quality" problem. An ever-inc'easing number of students
years, and they «ill bring with them a wide variety of talents.
We must find w ays to develop and utilize these talents. Dr. Pullias said. He added that a great deal of the "potentiality of human taleni remains almost untouched" and only a "fraction of this potential" has been utilized.
Enrollment lo Double
Dr. Pullias cited figures on the increased attendance at universities and colleges. Last year approximately 3 million students attended I'.S. universities for degree credit. Predictions have indicated that double this figure. or even up to eight or nine million, may be in these in<titu-tions bv 1970.

which w ill face higher education in the 1960s. Higher education is relatively "poor" financially. "In an affluent society we are not so affluent," he told the faculty members.
In order to do an adequate I .job. higher education will need two or three times the financial support it now has. he said. However, he added that higher education must avoid "prosliit-tion" or committment to any special interest groups in getting this aid.

The debate, which preceded the finaj hours of balloting today in Alumni Memorial Park, immediately shifted away from ■ the bickering over campus politics that has been the result of previous meeting« to leatn the candidates’ views, and moved rapidly into a discussion of social equality among the students.
Probe Candidates

Jack Shafter. a former USC presidential candidate. and Joe Saltzman. editor of the Daily Trojan, the candidates defended and elaborated on their attitudes toward student government and student problems.

Cure* Differ
Harmon and Helm disagreed on methods of curing the discrimination problem. Harmon suggested local initiative, while Helm claimed that social house* would have to direct their effort? tow ard changes in I heir national organizations.
"Prejudice cannot be removed through legislation." Helm contended. ‘On the other hand, organized attempts to speed up the evolution of understanding only result in bad publicity and ill feeling."
Supports Sit-In«
Harmon countered with a support of sit-ins and other “mature, non-violent demonstration* that bring the issue before the
public.”

Who Gets Credit?
A second misconception, Rusch' said, involves who should get credit for national prosperity. Forty per cent of the public name the federal government and only 18 per cent business and industry, he said.
in addition, when asked if it is a government responsibility to guarantee prosperity, some 72 per cent of the public say it is. According to Rusch. this gives rise to pressures for increased social welfare legislation and a guaranteed annual wage.

Segregation Issm*
The segregation issue grew out of one of the questions in a Wesley Club questionnaire filled out by the candidate« prior to the debate.
The question asked. "Do you think there is any racial discrimination at USC?"

Ih July the government was faced with a 30-day siege. The action came in the wake of an attack on the military base at Coban by •'revolutionary elements" and a bomb in a theater.
Ydigoras Fuentes announced that the state of siege had been provoked by the "continued agitation in the country' directed by political elements, principally Communists, with the deliberate purpose of subverting constitutional order.”
The decree suspended 13 constitutional rights, including free assembly and the prohibition of arrest without a warrant.
In November a military uprising occurred, which was again put down. Ydigoras Fuentes repeated his accusation against run bv i "Communist elements" as in-
