OVER EL ROD FIX
More than 500 seniors should I be shot! — photographically. But .Johanna Pick, El Rod senior editor, is ready to do the shooting— literally.
Miss Pick is boiling mad because the El Rod has to extend its deadline for senior pictures to Mar. 5. Former deadline was this Friday.
“The El Rod has to meet its deadline!” she screamed. "We can’t extend it any further or the book won’t go to press on time. ’'The turnout has been very ir, 521 to date, but we can’t |elp it Usually 1000 seniors have ?ir pictures taken. The notices lave been out for three months. Te have written to every school, /ery class president, every fra-iity, every . .
“But the Daily Trojan has run story on senior pictures every ier day for the last month,” we jiterrupted.
“Aha, that’s it!” she returned, ive hundred seniors must not »ad the DT. Deplorable!” (We lought we detected fire breathed
by Miss Pick, but wouldn’t swear to it.)
“Just remember,” she said, “anyone who has his picture taken from Mar. 1-5 won’t be able to see his proofs. All proofs out now are due Mar. 1.
“We’ve got to go to press by Apr. 1. And that’s final!” Then she disappeared in a puff of smoke.

The morning was devoted to a discussion on “Group Dynamics,” led by Dr. Milton Cheresh, school psychologist for the Pasadena schools and instructor in psychology at UCLA, and Dr. Lester Beck, professor of cinema at SC.
Controversial Discussion
Dr. Cheresh demonstrated a point in leadership qualities in group discussion. Before the meeting, Dr. Cheresh secretly enlisted the aid of Rodger Darbonne, Ann Odin, Warren Clendening, and Seyom Brown. At a point in his talk, Dr. Cheresh referred to Senator McCarthy as an ambitious leader with1 selfish motives. That was Darbohne’s signal to challenge what /Dr. Cheresh had said. Miss Odin.- was to argue against Darbonne’s point, and Clendening was to answy Miss Odin. This led to a stimulating, but uncom-portable political discussion on Senator McCarthy during which even faculty administrators expressed their opinions freely. Dr. Cheresh then call the discussion to a halt and admitted that the discussion was a “hoax” designed to demonstrate the different attitudes of members of a group during the discussion of controversial issues and the role that the group leader must play in directing such

CREATED, NOT BORN
Leader's Qualities Told Group
by Susie McBee
Leadership is doing something, not being something.
That’s what John B. Wentz, Beverly Hills City Manager, told student leaders at the first on-campus Leadership Conference in the Student Union Lounge Friday.
Wentz, who received his MA in public administration at SC, said that democratic leadership is bot-tom-up management, gave students six rules for efficient committee work, and told them how to encourage participation in leadership.
“A leader is someone who is going somewhere and who persuades others to go with him,” the city manager said. “Here, the emphasis is on ‘going somewhere’; this is action; the leader is doing something.
“In thinking about leadership, ®ne can list several qualities a leader should have — energy, a sense of purpose, friendliness, knowledge, faith, skill, etc.
J
“But a person doesn’t have to be born with these qualities. He can develop them. A leader is made,” Wentz stressed.
He defined leadership as the “activity of influencing people to cooperate in accomplishing some goal that they have found mutually agreeable.”
This definition means that democratic leadership entails "bottom* up management,” according to Wentz..
‘This type of management mobilizes the total brain power of everyone in the organization,” he said. “I’ve never seen an organization where the leader is the only one who has good ideas.”
The use of committees is an important method of the leader to iearn the ideas of the people under him, he continued.
“Six rules can be used by the head of a group to secure effective committee work,” Wentz said. “One is that the committee assignment must be given quickly. The workers must know what they are to accomplish.
‘The second is to let the committee know you expect results. Third, set a time limit to get the results. Fourth, give each worker specific tasks. Fifth, select committee members wisely. Finally, make sure the decisions of the committee are transmitted to you, preferrably in writing.”
Wentz had two suggestions to given student leaders about encouraging group participation. The first was to give subordinates recognition, and the second was to use the return-question technique.
“Giving employees a few complimentary words in public does wonders,” he said. “They will probably work all the harder because you noticed them.”
“The return-question technique comes in handy when a person asks you what he should do in a certain situation. You should then ask him what he would do if he were in your shoes. Then he is forced to use his own judgment and gains self-confidence,” Wentz said.	*
