BENEFACTOR HANCOCK NAMED TRUSTEE FOR LIFE
Flcction of Capt. G. Allan Hancock as a life trustee of the university has been announced by the Board of Trustees.
Captain Hancock, pioneer businessman, scientist and philanthropist of Los Angeles and Santa Maria, served on the I SC Board of Trustees from 1939 both as president and chairman. He resigned in 1954 to devote more time to other interests.
Trustees voted him a life membership on the the board in recognition of his long association with CSC and his generosity as one of the university’s major benefactors.
Captain Hancock established the Allan Hancock Foundation for Scientific Research on the CSC campus in 1938 and has continuously supported its work. His gifts include Hancock Hall, a four-story laboratory building completely equipped for graduate education and research in a wide variety of scientific fields.
He also built and operated under the Foundation the marine laboratory ships Velero III and Velero IV. The latter is engaged in an extensive program of marine research on some governmental projects.
In addition, he built the FM radio station KCSC, pioneered educational television and has been a longtime benefactor of the CSC School of Music.
Former Governor Adds Name To Roster of Guest Politicians
Goodwin J. Knght, former governor of California, will address the Faculty Club at a luncheon meeting today at 11:45 am. in the Town and Gown Dining Room.
Knight is the latest in a long list of prominent political figures to appear on the USC campus.
His speech will probably cerl-ter around the coming presidential election and the chances of Knight's fellow Republicans, Richard Nixon and Henry Cabot Lodge.
Knight has served as a news commentator for KCOP, Channel 13, since he relinquished his
office to Governor Brown.

New leaders of the class of ’64, elected last night following Freshman Class run-offs, are Gene Mikov, president, and Suzanne Biaggi, vice president.
During the first freshman election, 409 students voted, which was a statistical improvement, over the general ASSC election last spring.
In the run-offs, 248 students voted. This is approximately 20 per cent of the total number of enrolled freshmen.
Art Kay, elections commissioner, stated that this percentage was exceptionally good. “Compared to the runoffs in the spring elections for ASSC vice president, only 100 more students voted out of the total student body in that election,” he said.
Percentage-wise the freshmen seem to be an enthusiastic group and eager to see a candidate elected, Kay noted.
He added that no ballots were disqualified because of illegality.
Leaders Express Thanks
The new leaders both stated that they would like to thank everyone who helped in this elec-tion and that the Freshman Class can expect a busy and full year.
Mikov added that a “very active program is in store for all
freshmen. As a whole, the main plans are to put over a feeling of unity, spirit and progress.” Mikov said that he realized,

“But one thing on which I think we can all agree is that if we had a united class we could play a prominent part in our university.
“We could benefit ourselves by becoming better acquainted with one another, by working together on class projects and by chanelling our efforts to those projects which will benefit the school,” he said.

The new class president felt it is “up to us as freshmen to back all freshman activities. A strong Freshman Class organization would do this with rallies, get-acquainted TGIF’s, attendance of freshman events and recognition to those who do \vell.”
Thirteen candidates originally ran for the Freshman Class offices.
