Prominent speakers and a review ot educational problems will be featured at a Regional Assembly of the National Students Association. April 5, 6 and 7 at SC.
A summary of proposed assembly activities is scheduled to highlight a report to the Senate Wednesday night by NSA Coordinator Jim Johnston.
Preliminary plans for Johnston's report to the Senate included a summary of NSA’s campus activities at SC. As a major part of Ihe NSA program, more than 3500 theater discount tickets were sold this semester.
These cards are accepted at all Fox West Coast Theaters and admit student holders at junior prices.
Activity Publications
Johnston expects to tell of SC legislators plans for making available an NSA file of activity publications Such a file is designed to simply tactical information to student leaders on formulating activities in harmony with educational goals.
Tie will also explain tentative arrangements to expand this activity information service and to take advantage of the Student Government Information Service, a NSA file.
“We hope to l*> able to answer almost any question or problem relating to student activities and to assum° the position of the Doheny Library of the Student Union." Johnston said.
Most Intangible Reward
The most intangible reward in NSA mempership is the development of student leadership, Johnston said. He noted the fact that NSA provides funds to student leaders for transportation and living expenses at leadership conferences.
Numerous student government conferences are held on the regional level, giving local student officers an opnoitunitv to better understand the go 1? and achievements of NSA.
Outstanding men and women who attend these conferences become acquainted with tne current issues facing hignei education and become aware of the educational justification for effective siudint government.
Regional Participation Another facet of Johnston’s report concerns regional participation in an international students tour of California. The California-Hawaii-Nev ada region of NSA, of which SC is a mein- ; i'er. contributes outstanding leadership to Ihis piogram.

Sanctions for Israel Becomes Big Question
By BEN CUNNINGHAM
Sanctions which the United Nations may impose on Israel have become the topic of discussion in UN circles and the U.S. political arena in the past few weeks.
Already a source of heated debate among American politicos, the sanctions, which promise a forthcoming verbal battle in the UN, are legally defined as “the detriment, loss of reward, or other coercive intervention annexed to a violation of law, as a means of enforcing law.” Sanctions Could Wreck
This means that sanctions of an economic nature successfully i imposed by the UN could wreck the Israeli economy.
The big question for Israel right now is, will sanctions be imposed and if so what kind? , Israel is looking to the U.S. for an answer. The world is looking to the UN. and the UN seems I
The Trojan Host Committee, ! assigned to the job of meeting visiting football teams when SC plays home games, is being re-! organized by the present members of the group.
At a special meeting last Fri-j day members of the committee discussed the plans that they hope will be approved by Chaplain Clinton A. Neyman, acting dean of students.
One of the major suggestions, according to Vi Jameson, ASSC vice president and chairman of the committee, is the proposal that each class council submii a list of ten men and women chosen on the basis of “personality, interest, school spirit and good grooming.”
Interviews Planned Those selected by their class councils will then be interviewed and rated by Miss Jameson and possibly Harry Nelson, student activities advisor, and Mrs. William A. Schaefer, counselor of women.

Students involved in projects of a constructive nature greatly outnumber those publicized few who get in trouble, ASSC President Carl Terzian told a meeting of Pasadena Civic leaders last Saturday night.
Speaking before 350 at the Pasadena E’ks Lodge, Terzian presented a 20-minute speech on the American college student, what we can expect from him and why.
It was entitled “The Strangest Race I Have Ever Known.”
“We are too willing to assume that college students are the cause of today’s trouble,” Terzian said.
Terzian pointed out examples from his travels this past summer of students interested in civic and public life.
In Texas he saw students in the State Legislature, in business and on the governor’s staff. He also brought out how students are taking the initiative in handling the problem of integration, pointing to courteous treatment of the 23 new Negro undergraduates at the University of Texas.

The committee made plans for a rally to greet the team and when the Notre Dame team came into Los Angeles by piane three hours early it upset the plans they had made. “More time and effort are needed on such a committee and so,? according to Miss Jameson, “we decided that the student body leaders would not be as good for such a job because their duties are already strenuous and heavy.”

Revision of Election Bylaws.
Along with the series of accomplishments this past, semester by his administration and the Senate, ASSC President Carl Terzian has outlined the legislation planned for the spring months.
Coming up Wednesday night when the Senate convenes will be the proposals of the Elections Evaluation Committee. The purpose of this committee, under the chairmanship of Senator Clunie Denholm, was to de-emphasize professional campaigning during the student body elections.
“It is going to be difficult to pass the committee's proposed bylaw amendments,” said Terzian, referring to the two-thirds vote needed for the proposal’s passage.
The changes, explained at length in Friday’s DT, are expected to bring fireworks when they are thrown open to debate on the Senate floor in two weeks.
Miss Denholm will present her committee’s report this Wednesday.
“If this doesn’t pass, it means the Senate is not voting with a clear conscience, because the needed cleanup of ASSC elections was an almost unanimous feeling at the Idyllwild Conference,” Terzian said.
Terzian believes that the opposition may come from potential candidates or their supporters.
Degree of change has been an important aspect in the revision.
Politicos around campus are hazy about the proposals, feeling that they might lead to the abolishment of the party system and revert politics on the SC campus back to the high school level.
ted Cross Blood Drive and Education Program.
The annual campus blood drive will be taken up from a different angle this spring, with the educational aspect being played up.
“The first step is to educate the people through speakers. publications and other methods on the value of blood End its donation,” said Terzian, of his pending program.
Outcome of a well co-ordinated and successful program could be the winning of a S1000 trophy put up by San Jose College and the San Jose Elks Club for the school in the state with the best blood education program.
The education plan, under Wally Krabian, and the donation program, under Mary Jo Darcey and Dave White, will work consecutively to improve the blood drive.
In the past the drive has degenerated into a program on the verge of mere begging to fill the quota. It is the hope that a complete blood education will make students want to give blood instead of being forced to do it.
Easter Program for Underprivileged Children.
Being planned for the first time, will be an Easter program for under-privileged children. Simpler than the Christmas Show, it will accommodate 50 to 100 children and include “something reverent for Easter.”
the reason for the unsuccessful ventures.
Defending the councils’ position, Gary Widell, independent men's representative, stated Friday that the “Ice-Breakers” were attended by twice as many independents as the much publicized ‘AMS Round-Up’. As far as the invitations are concerned, they were turned in to the orientation chairman, an appointee of the ASSC president, in August. After they reach him they are his responsibility to mail in time.”
Lists Achievements
Independent Womens Representative, Lillian Kim compiled the following list of the Independent Students accomplishments to the past semester: ice breakers; kick-off luncheonj cof-
Plans call for breakfast on campus followed by chapel services. Dick Amerian, working under the Greater University Committee, will be in charge of the program.
“This program may fail if we don’t get the finances,” Terzian said.
Great Days Program.
Elimination of the Religious Emphasis Week and the inauguration of a series of “Great Days” is also on the spring agenda. Outstanding religious leaders will be brought on campus a couple of times a year for convoca-tions and religious inspiration.
“Religious Emphasis Wreeks have lost their punch all over the country,” said Chaplain Clinton A. Neyman, out' of whose committees the idea originated last spring.
Since the “Great Days” idea was originated, however,! the Sunday Worship services have been started, which | bring the same people on campus.
The new idea will therefore have to be re-evaluated later on to see whether it works in harmony with the, Sunday Services.
Special-Price Musical Package.
A Terzian experiment this semester will be a musical package for students, presenting outstanding musical events at a reduced price. Heading the reception committee, which will attempt to combine campus events such as “The Barber of Seville” with performers brought on campus, are Bill Teaford and Connie Lu Berg.
The aim of the program is for cultural advancement on campus by the use of special prices. Pianist Arturo Rubenstein and the NBC Symphony Orchestra are among those being considered to appear.
Spring Leadership Retreat.
A one day Spring Retreat, patterned along the lines of the Idyllwild Conference, will also be attempted this year.
To be held after elections, the old and the new Senate will convene to evaluate the past year and formulate plans for the future.
Christmas Program Bylaw.
Terzian will also attempt to pass a constitutional by- j law making the Christmas Show an annual event. This will insure the program’s permanent existance and also offer a chance to evaluate the show.
Concrete Action on Library Investigation Report.
Another Terzian aim this spring will be to make sure the recommendations of the Library Investigating Committee are acted upon by the university administration “so each year it does not become a political issue.”
“You can’t charge students with failure if the faculty doesn’t follow it through,” Terzian said.
Honors Day.
Passed last Senate meeting, was the setting up of a Honor Day on April 6. Any student, along with their parents, who has received some type of honor, such as Phi Beta Kappa, scholarships or Phi Kappa Phi, will be honored at a special convocation.	j,
will be Dr. Arthur Olsen, professor of social sciences at Western Illinois State College.
Second Tour
Another tour departs July 12 for five weeks in Panama and seven South American countries this one being conducted by Dr. Sherman W. Brown, head of the modern language department of Knox College, 111.
Sightseeing ranges from a ca-ble-car ride up to Sugar Loaf Mountain in Rio and a visit to Uruguay’s famed beach resort of Punta del Este to a barbecue on an Argentine ranch.
Package Deal
The package price of §1173 for the four-week tour and $1550 for the five-week tour includes all air and ground transportation, sightseeing trips, accommodations at first-class hotels and tips and meals in five of the countries.

“This is what we have accomplished during the Fall Semester. We are first to admit that perhaps more could have been done, however we challenge anyone to compare what we have done in one semester to that which past Independent Student Councils have done. If our record falls short of them in any way. then we should be reprimanded,” stated Miss Kim.
Bad Budget
She added all this had been accomplished with a meager budget of $25 a semester. The Wro-mens Council has been further handicapped by a $300 debt incurred two years ago.
Widell denied the statement in the article that said that the Mens Council “had difficulty in rounding out a sizeable board.”

Arnold to Read Graves Poetry At Noon Today
“Goodbye To All That,” a section of poet Robert Graves’ autobiography and some of his poetry will be read today by Aerol Arnold, professor of English, as part of the English department's program of weekly j noon readings held every Monday in 129 FH.
As a captain in World War I.
Graves was a friend of the war j poets, Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen. With them he wrote poems dealing with their disillusionment toward the war.
Graves’ autobiography is a description of the trench warfare which he experienced. Graves’ return to Oxfrod College as a G.I. on a government grant is also described.
Graves is generally typed as a World War I writer but prefers to be known as a complete writer. Besides war books and poetry, Graves is known as an excellent translator of Greek myths, writer of eight novels including “Homer’s Daughter” and “Hercules. My Shipmate,” sev-! eral volumes of essavs and nonfiction articles.
facilities. He pointed out that India is particularly short on libraries. Few students can afford to buy textbooks.
Education in India is based on rote learning for state wide exams. Degrees are granted by the universities on the basis of these state tests, Strevey explained.
Flooded with Questions
“Indian students flooded me with questions on American student life, particularly student government,” the Dean re i marked. “The students are so ! interested in student govern-1 ment,” he stated, “because they ' are not allowed-such contiol of j their own affairs in Inaia.” j Strevey said students hav**
I to pay a small tuition fee, but the amount is high for them I due to the scarcity of money and jobs. Many graduates can t get jobs in the fields they have studied for.
“Indian students are anxious to come to the U.S.,” the Dean stated. He proposed an accelerated exchange student program as one way to help these students realize their dreams.

Terzian Wins On TV Show
ASSC President Carl Ter-zian and his shapely French partner split $500 Wednesday night on Groucho Marx’s “You Bet Your Life” when Carl answered six questions correctly.
His partner, a 24 year-old French actress from Paris, chose U.S. Presidents for their topic. After hc had answered the first few questions correctly, Carl was asked by Marx why he wasn’t wearing his Phi Beta Kappa key.
Carl replied, “High academic attainment is personally very gratifying and should not be advertised and broadcasted to everyone.” This brought loud applause.
