(Editor's note: The following: urtirlc concludes th*» interview begun in yesterday'* Daily Trojan.)
By NIT A BISS Assistant to tlie Editor
President Norman Topping, an admitted believer in the fra-ternily-sororitv system, has promised to do everything possible to perpetuate and upgrade SC's Row.
In a Daily Trojan interview Friday. Dr. Topping expressed h’S willingness to help fraternities and sororities reach their desired goals.
"I will do all that is possible to help fraternities and sororities attain the goals set by them and by their national organizations." he sajd.
Rowltf Responsibilities
Dr. Topping pointed out the Importance of having Rowites accept responsibilities as representatives of the university.
“Since they are an important part of the university, fraternities and sororities must realize that their actions reflect not only on them but on the university," he explained.
He added that fraternity and sorority members are no different than other students.
“Their purpose in the university is a serious one. and they must accept responsibilities individually and collectively.” Strong System

Country Club? SC s Not One, Says Downey
A search for the academic-minded student, coupled with stiffer entrance requirements, I has killed any myth that SC is a “country club" university, said Dr. Robert J. Downey, dean of students—men. yesterday.
Prospective SC students must be in the upper half of their h'gh school classes and must score high on th® College Entranee exams, he report«.
Ancient History
“Thirty years ago if you were warm and had ‘proper' high school grades you could he considered college material,” said Dt^an Downey.

tem become a strong one with a balanced program.
“There should be excellent social programs, but, at the same time, there must be s1r*ng and excellent academic programs, for balance is needed,” he maintained.
When questioned about his “get-tough" policy to up Row gi ade point av erages. Dr. Topping repl:ed that “satisfactory” progress is being made toward raising scholarship standards.
“We've had several meetings with IFC and Panhellenic representatives and we re practically in accord,” he said.
Improve Scholarship
The president remarked that this desire to emphasize and improve scholarship among students has been reflected in the recently passed ASSC constitution.
The new constitution requires every executive cabinet member to maintain a grade point average above the all-university average. Senators must be above their all-school average prior to the election semester and during their continuance in office.
Dr. Topping again emphasized his belief in the fraternity-soror-
Bovard Offers Play Tickets
Tickets may be purchased in the Bovard box office today through Friday for the final j>erfnrmances of “Amphitryon 38.” according to William White, drama department spokesman.
The box office will remain open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

ity system, adding that much could be gained from it.
“I firmly believe in the system and feel it is an important adjunct to university life. Lessons can be learned from it.” The president was also questioned about the possibilities of a w'age increase for faculty members.
“We cannot yet determine if there will be an increase until the end of our fiscal year on July 1,” he explained, adding that it would be difficult at this point to make any valid forecast of the university’s income and expenditures for the year.
Salary Changes “If it is at all possible, we will announce any salary changes at our March faculty meeting,” he said.
When asked what was being done to brine: outstanding speakers to the SC campus, Dr. Topping reported that the Speakers Committee, headed by Vice President Albert Raubenheimer, has “worked diligently.”
“This is the first year of organization for the Speakers Committee, and it has had a good beginning.” he said.
He added that he hoped the committee would be more active and successful in the future.
BLOOD DRIVE HEAD PLEADS FOR DONORS TO HIT GOAL
The SC Blood Drive Is embarrassingly, 250 pints short of its 700-pint goals, said chairman Steve Feldman yesterday in a plea for more donors.
As the campaign for the life-giving plasma moves into its final four days, efforts to enlist Trojan support in the form of blood donations continue.
Pledges are being accepted at the University Methodist Church, 34th st. and Hoover blvd., from 8:40 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. all this week, Feldman said.
Any person between the ages of 21 and 60, who weighs at least 110 pounds and is in good health, may give blood.
Unmarried minors between the ages of 18 and 21 must subit a form supplied by the Red Cross signed by parents or legal guardians in order to give blood.
An immediate advantage of the drive is the assurance of a virtually unlimited blood supply ¿o any contributing SC student and his family who needs it, Feldman noted.
Every pint donated on campus goes into an SC blood bank account and may be drawn out by any Trojan who has given blood, he said.
Feldman said that the process of blood donation is a short, painless one.
He attributed poor student response, in part, to lack of information on blood donation procedure.
“Trojans can give a pint of blood every 12 weeks with no more stain on their health than an afternoon of exercise,” he said.

Operation “Grass Roots,” a total reorganization of SC’s political and organizational structure, will begin today at 4 p.m. in 229 FH.
ASSC President Wally Karabian is asking representatives from every student organization on campus to attend today’s meeting.
The presence of all students planning to be members of the provisional boards of directors of the 19 major fields is also mandatory since the major field organizations will be included within the scope of student organizations.
Reorganization
“Because the extraordinary reorganization program will affect every student organization at SC, as many officers and members from each group as possible must attend,” said Gary Dubin, administrative assistant to the ASSC president.
At the meeting, provisional boards of directors — students who will organize the major fields of study—will be appointed and assigned the following duties:
tution for the given field to the
(1)	Submit a written consti-ASSC executive cabinet by 2 p.m. Friday.
(2)	Complete a membership roll of the members by March 8.
(3)	Complete a petition for the ratification of the field's constitution by the membership by March 15.
(4)	Schedule the first field meeting and submit senatorial application(s) by March 18.
19 Fields
Thus far, only 14 of the 19 fields of study have representatives. Only eight fields have the minimum number of three representatives to sit on the provisional boards of directors.
Karabian has appointed Don Kelley to direct the entire operation of “Grass Roots.”
Fields listed without representatives are dentistry, health, physical education and therapy, library science, medicine and social work.
Those fields with only one or two representatives must enlist others to make the quota of three directors, the minimum called for in the ASSC Constitution.
Required Attendance
The following students are required to attend the meeting in line with their applications to organize their fields as directors: Bill Walsh, architecture; Milt Kerlan, Ben Rosin, A1 Margolin and Bernie Elias, biological science^; Jack Karp, Joanne Nootbar, Carl Cooper,	Ron

TOM HARRIS
. . . quits post
Tcm Harris, appointed elections director last Friday afternoon by ASSC President Wally Karabian, turned in his resignation yesterday because he “didn’t have the time to do justice to the job.’’
Karabian immediately appointed Eddie Tanenbaum
to the post after hearing of Harris’ resignation. Tanenhaum's appointment will be uoted upon at tomorrow night’s Senate meeting.
“It s too bad we had to lose a capable person like Harris.” Karabian said, “but I'm sure Tanenbaum will make a fine replacement.”
Tan Epsilon Phi Tanenbaum. a member of Tau Fpsilon Phi. is a sophomore with two years of experience on the election commission.
When Karabian had originally asked for people to take the job of elections director, Tanen-baum offered to take the position.

“I'm carrying 17 units and I have a lot of duties to perform around the Theta Chi house. That’s it in a nut shell,” he explained.
Consider Time
When asked why he didn't consider the time the job w-ould take when he accepted it, Harris replied, “When Wally called me Friday and asked if I wanted the job, I said ‘yes.’
“But, over the weekend. I discussed it with my parents and we decided I just wouldn't be able to devote the time that such an office requires.
“Not only am I carrying 17 units this semester, but after checking with my class agendas, I found out that when I would be needed most as director of elections, I would have important assignments and reports due in my classes.

Philosopher to Shed Light On Science of 16th Century
By JO ANN MADRON'
The GOth semi-annual Philosophy Forum series will open today when Dr. W ilbur H. Long, SC professor of philosophy, pie-sents an explanation of The New Science of the 16th and 17th Centuries.”
The lecture will be given at 4:15 p.m. in Bovvne Hall of Mudd Memorial Hall of Philosophy.
The theme of this semester's forum is “Science and Man.
In his lecture Dr. Long will give an account of the new discoveries lhat changed man s pic-| ture of the external world from > the set ideas of the ancients to the new knowledge of the 16th and 17th centuries.”
Discuss Columbus
Some of the figures included in his discussion will be Columbus, Vasalius, Copernicus, Barhe and Kepler.
“From the comfortable vantage point of the 20th century, it is hard for us to see the importance of this sudden new burst of knowledge to the people of the 16th and 17th centuries,” said Dr. Long.
In the early days of new learning, society believed it was necessary to hold tine to what Aristole said. It was not possible to believe any new theories that contradictec| his teachings.
“The new science was something of a calamity because of the religious, social and political implications it presented,” he pointed out.
For instance, in the Bible the I earth stands still, but we know ! it is moving. Further, Dr. Long cited, Copernicus disproved the doctrine that Christ’s body ascended into heaven since we know that the earth is already a part of heaven or the heavenly bodies.
At that time, the heavenly and earthly regions were supposed to rbe different. This viewpoint supported the social classes and caste system in which people were as different as heaven and } earth, he said.
The lecture series will commemorate the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Royal So-| eiety of England, which was directly inspired by Francis Bacon.
“Bacon was ill-informed on scientific research and a poor philosopher of science. However,

he regarded himself as a press agent of the coming era, not a great scientist or physician. ’ Dr. Long said.
One of Bacon's views w as thst scientific power ought to be public rather than secret information and that it should be dedicated to the public welfare. The ancient alchemists, however, sought scientific power for their own selfish plans.
Bacon Proposal
“Bacon also proposed that science demands the cooperative activity of experimenters and research workers all over the giobe,” Dr. Long said..
“The idea that science should be put to public use is now bearing fruit in our own age, as for example, in the rise of living standards through technical efficiencies.
“It has also developed the social view that in some degree we are one another's keeper and that it is a blot on the national character to let a worthy man suffer from lack of the material amnities of life,” he said.
Bacon’s works, “Advancement of Learning.” published in l^^j and “New Method of Logic, published in 1620, had immediate and extraordinary influence on thinking men, Dr. Long believes.	w
