the Blood Bank opens at 10 a. jn. for deposits for the annual Blood Drive.
The four “droplets,” Alp!ia Phi Ardy Tibby, Alpha Phi Susie Keenan, Alpha Chi Omega Suzie Rosenberg and Gamma Phi Beta Judy Bush have been asked to encourage students who did not pledge blood in the week-long signups to donate this week, chairman Jim Walsh said.
The donations will be taken in the University Methodist Church basement, 817 W. 34th St., today through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2:40 p.m., Walsh said.
Midshipmen Lead Parade
Forty-three USC NROTC midshipmen led the annual Palm Springs Circus Day parade Saturday before an estimated 50,000 persons.
The midshipmen, who were asked to lead the program at the last minute, have been frequent participants in the Palm Springs event.
NROTC participants were members of the Drill Platoon, commanded by Harry Mackin; the Navy Color Guard, commanded by David Dawes; and ed. the Drum and Bugle Corps, commanded by Harvey Brook.

due to the new time schedule.
Walsh said he hoped the "blood drops” would be able to attract the 100 pints of blood still needed by the close of pledging yesterday to fill its 600-pint quota in the annual race with UCLA.
“I am confident that if we work a little harder we can reach and surpass our mark,” Walsh said. “The ‘blood drops’ will be asking all those who have not pledged and are eligible to give blood to do so.”
“If UCLA could overshoot its 950-pint quota by 52, I know we can pass our test,” he said.
No Reason He added that he could see no reason why 11,000 students could not somehow' manage to donate 600 pints of blood to remove USC, which has been lagging in donations in past years, from the Red Cross probation list.
He reminded faculty, administrators and employees who had not pledged yet that they are also eligible, pointing out that “it is up to the whole university community to make sure during these four days that the - Blood Bank remains open.” 1 ’
The Row won its challenge to the independents in blood pledge contests, Walsh report

Squires bested the other service organizations with a total of 17 blood promises, followed by Amazons with 12, Spurs with 8 and Chimes with 3.
Other leaders in fraternity signups were Tau Epsilon Phi, 15; Theta Xi, 12; Kappa Alpha, 11; Sigma Alpha Mu, 10; Tau Delta Phi, 9; and Phi Kappa Alpha, 9.

Two Art To Be
Two aspects of art — its creation and its appreciation— will be the topic for the Philosophy Forum series today at 4:15 in Bowne Hall, Mudd Memorial Hall of Philosophy.
Edgar Ewing, professor of fine arts, will point out these two aspects in a discussion of “The Eye of the Mind and the Eye of the Hand’’ as part of the series theme of “Reflections on the Arts.”
“The work of art is the sum of its modes of existence,” Professor Ewing, whose field is painting and life drawing, pointed out yesterday.
“It is the product of the maker’s intuition a priori to form and content, and is also ‘a thing in itself,’ an independent object of the viewer's in-, t u i t i v e interpretation,” he noted.
The lecture will deal primarily with contemporary forms of painting and sculpture, he said, but the whole history of ait can be demon-
strated from this interpretation.
The interaction of creation and reception underneath the superficial passage of objects as sensory impressions has always existed, he noted.
The separate phenomena of not only creating but becoming aware of a work’s independent individuality is seen by what happens to it after its completion in the interpretive judgments of viewers, he said.
To become a work of art, the artist's point of departure in terms of the form and content of a new object must be brought into being by the mind and eye of the observer, the fine arts professor feels.
The current philosophy series which emphasizes the philosophical approach to aesthetics by the artists themselves Will bring Dean Raymond Kendall of the School of Music next week to :discuss “A New Aesthetic in Music Criticism.'*
Lecturers To Conduct Five Talks
Two Ford Foundation visiting professors will conduct five discussions on campus beginning tomorrow morning.
Dr. Harold J. Leavitt, professor of industrial administrations and psychology in the Graduate School of Business Administration at Carnegie Institute of Technology, and Dr. Paul F. Lazarsfeld, profes sor of sociology at Columbia University, will conduct the discussions.
The three days of lectures will deal with the behavioral sciences and their relationship with business and business administration.
General theme of the conference, to be held tomorrow and Thursday and again next Monday, will be “Behavioral Sciences in the Business School Curriculum-”
Private Discussions
The two professors will also devote time to private discussions with doctoral candidates in the School of Business on new fields of research between the two disciplines.
Dr. Lazarsfeld, a graduate of the University of Vienna, has written several books and articles on the public opinion and sociological behavior.
Meet with Faculty
Dr. Leavitt will meet with the faculty to discuss the behavioral science curriculum at Carnegie Institute of Technology and other business schools at the opening talk tomorrow from 10 a.m. to noon in 104 BH.
In an afternoon session from 2 to 4, he will meet with business'? school doctoral candidates for discussion on new research fields for dissertation.
In a Thursday atternoon session, Dr. Leavitt will meet with faculty members in 104 BH to discuss recent trends in behavioral research pertinent to business school teaching.

University Students Party (USP) leaders will go to the Executive Cab:net tonight at 7 in the Senate Chambers, 301 SU, for approval of their political organization, passed by the Senate last week.
The leaders expect little trouble in getting cabinet and administrative approval and have already outlined a sexies of activities for the party.
Steve Meiers, temporary paity head, said the group held its first open meeting Sunday evening to formulate its strategy for presentation of the party organization to the cabinet.
Confident of Approval
“We will not begin activities until we are fuily recognized, but we are confident tha cabinet and the administration will approve USP,” Meiers said.
Last week’s Senate action merely recommended that the party be permitted to petition for approval. The group’s constitution will be submitted to i t s first official scrutiny tonight at the cabinet meeting.
Meiers also reported that Joseph L. Nyomarkay, instructor in political science, had consented to be the party’s faculty adviser.
Make Appointments
Meiers and other party members have already made an appointment w i t h President Topping for tomorrow to explain their goals, purposes and organization.
If USP is approved by the administration and the cabinet, we will begin a membership drive Thursday that will last until Easter vacation,” Meiers said.
He explained that members must be full-time students of the university and not be aff'li-ated with any other camp as political organization.
Convention in May
He said the party leaders had decided at their first meeting to hold a convention in May to select their permanent officers and to start planning for next year’s elections.”
A second USP meeting has been called for Thursday at 2:15 p.m. in 212 FH. The party leaders have invited students interested in joining to attend.
The party will be approaching the cabinet with the unanimous approval of the ASSC Senate to seek aproval as both campus organization and a university political party.
The cabinet will also consider a resolution recommending a system of stud ^ it evaluation of course curricp’a. text books and presentation of materials by professors.
place and two third place awards in statewide college journalism competition were awarded the Daily Trojan last weekend in Sacramento.
Editor Barbara Epstein won a first prize in feature writing and another first in editorial competition at the conference, hosted by the California Intercollegiate Press Association.
Another first went to Daily Trojan cartoonist Pete Plagens, who led the field in the editorial cartoon category.
Third place prizes were taken by Helen Saki-yama in the news feature division, and by Tom Capra in on-the-spot news writing.
Staffers who attended the two-day “spot writing” section of the conference were Jerry Wilcox, sports; Dick Calhoun, sports; Rick Butler, news; and Capra, news.

By FRANK L. KAPLAN
A nucleus of Nazism is still present in West Germany, and it would be easy to create the system known under Hitler again, a graduate student who returned from Europe recently indicated.
Marcus J. Lees, working for his master’s degree at USC on German education, said that although the Nazi element of influence in the education of West German youth is weak, it remains a constant threat
“Ex-Nazi teachers, although small in number, are powerful German schools because they hold top positions," Lees said. “This is because, in the regimental administrative setup, the older teachers obtain the most respected positions.
Older Professors
“Usually, the older professors in Germany are the die-hards who believe in Nazi ideals,” he noted. “The younger, more democratically minded teachers are afraid to speak up, lest they lose their jobs.”
Lees, Canadian^bom and a former Oxford undergraduate, was the first foreign exchange teacher at Max-Planck Gymnasium in Bielefeld, a high school for some 1,200 boys. He obtained the job through the Anglo-German Exchange Program.
He took the job with the idea that Nazism was a thing of the past and taught only as part of history, but he was to learn differently. Lees said he soon found himself defending such basic rights as freedom of speech.
First Big Clash
The first big clash that the Canadian teacher experienced was during an organized debate in one of his English-speaking classes. The students, who had never had the oppor-
Federal Loan To Aid Building Of Dormitories
A federal loan of more than $4 million was received by the university yesterday for construction of four new dormitories as part of the Master Plan.

tunity to voice their own opinions on a subject of their choice, picked the topic: “The Rearmament of Germany,”
Lees reported.
One boy, speaking against the topic, declared that soldiering was wrong, the exchange teacher said.
“We have learned that one of the Commandments is Thou shall not kill’,” the student commented. “After the war we were also told by the new government that never again will a German youth have to wear a uniform and kill his fellow man.’’
Ex-Nazi Critizes
Immediately, a 59-year-old ex-Nazi jumped up and denounced the boy openly as being disloyal to his country, that he was not a true German and that the boy was a disgrace to his Fatherland,
Lees said.
The professor shouted that one does not have to hate his enemy to kill him, and it was the duty of each German soldier to kill his enemy, Lees recalled.
Following this episode other respected professors approach ed the young foreigner and told him not to meddle in German affairs.
Good for Germany “One told me that Hitler was good for Germany, and that all stories about German atrocities were only American lies,” Lees said.
On another occasion, he was told that Canadians were poisoned by the British and American press before the war, and that Canadians “never got the right view of Hitler.”
Other Nazi propaganda used by professors in their classes drifted back to Lees by way of his students. It included

President Topping, in his announcement of the loan, reported that as a result USC will build on its main campus two eight-story tower residence halls for 300 women and 200 men students, and a six-story building for married students to house 60 couples.
A four-story residence hall complete with dining facilities for 100 students will be constructed on the School of Medicine campus near the Los Angeles County General Hospital, President Topping said.
The four new buildings are due for occupancy by September, 1963.
“The new structures will represent a major step toward USC’s long-range objective of having its full-time students living on or near the campus,” Dr. Topping said. “This is presently possible for less than 15 per cent of the student body.” Coed Dormitory The new coed dormitory provided in the $4,065,000 loan will be added to Elisabeth von KleinSmid Memorial Hall, May Ormerod Harris, University and College halls to complete a quadrangle between W. 34th and 35th Sts. and Hoover Blvd. and Figueroa St The men’s dormitory will face W. 35th St, completing a quadrangle with David X. Marks and Trojan halls.
Married student housing will be built on the southeast corner of the campus in a triangle bounded by Exposition Blvd., McClintock Ave. and W. 37th Drive.
USCs negotiations with the Housing and Home Finance Agency were conducted by Elton Phillips, business manager, and Dr. Carl M. Franklin, vice president for financial affairs Already Contributed More than $4 million had already been contributed to the Master Plan before announcement of the loan. Dr. Topping has set a $30.2 million goal for Phase One, which he hopes will be reached in the next four years.
Gifts contributed thus far have included $640,000 from trustee H. Leslie Hoffman for USCs first academically endowed chair; $500,000 in unrestricted funds from trustee chairman Leonard K. Firestone; and $2.2 million from the Olin Foundation for a new engineering building.
More recent gifts have been $325,000 from trustee Henry Salvatori for the establishment of a Research Institute on Communist Strategy and Propaganda, and a $1 million grant from the U.S. Public Health Service for a new Biosciences
Blasts Police Instruction
Incidents such as the recent Denver police scandal can be avoided by upgrading police service through professionalization, John Paul Kenny, associate professor of public administration, said recently.
Kenny, who worked on the Denver problem, pointed out that inadequate training of policemen and the “head in the sand” attitude adopted by police management contributed to the scandaL
The well-publicized Colorado incident last fall resulted in the eventual conviction of more than 20 patrolmen who were described as the “best safecrackers in the state.’’
Denver Request
At the request of the Denver city council, Kenney, also chairman of the Los Angeles Police Commission, made a reorganization study of the Denver force.
Kenney, who teaches a law enforcement administration program here, revealed that inadequate training in all echelons of the police force played a vital role in the Denver corruption.
He also named the “gratuity concept” — the acceptance of free meals, coffee and cigarettes —and loose screening as other causes of the corruption.
Patrolmen Involved
The professor noted that only patrolmen were involved in the scandal.
Most of these men were Midwesterners — farm boys, and boys just out of the war, looking for jobs,” he said.
His comprehensive study of the scene prompted Kenney to suggest that members of the Denver fire and police departments get a first-hand observation of forces in Los Angeles, Oakland, Milwaukee, St Louis or Cincinnati.
Recommends Official
The administration expert also recommended the appointment of an outstanding police official as interim chief.
Not wily should this official have no previous ties with the department, but he should be of a caliber sufficient to command the unqualified support of the city council, the administration and community,” he reported.
Kenney said that public confidence in the Denver polica could be restored if the mayor, in selecting a permanent chief, would appoint a panel of lead-ng citizens with two or three outside experts to act in advisory roles.
Many Students Pay Way
By JERRY LABINGER
That yearly $200 tuition hike effective next semester will lighten more than a few pocket books — and it won’t only be the parents of USC students who will miss the extra weight.
More than one-quarter of 192 undergraduate business students interviewed recently said that they pay full tuition while attending USC from money they earn themselves.
And 63 per cent of those questioned said that they were employed at some time during the past school semester.
These were some of the most noteworthy findings from a survey conducted last December by undergraduate School of Business students as a project for Dr. James H. Myers’ marketing research class.
The primary objective of the interviews — taken only of Business School students—was to provide the school with a
more current and comprehensive picture of the activities of its students, according to Dr. Myers, associate professor of marketing.
“It is also good experience for our students to conduct interviews as part of their training,” he added.
Special emphasis, he said, w«as placed on determining how and by whom tuition is being paid.
Names of those interviewed were selected at random and questions, w’hich ran the gamut from school activities to method of transportation to school, were of a factual nature designed to obtain objective answers, he explained.
“The thing that surprised me most was the number of students (50 of 192) who paid nearly all of their tuition by themselves,” Dr. Myers reported.
Altogether, 39 per cent of the
students contributed at least in you choose USC?” the largest
part to their tuition, while the remaining 61 per cent didn’t have to bear any of the load.
Parent support (55 per cent) and scholarships (10 per cent) were predominant in the latter category.
“Although skeptics might say that those who paid full tuition took a minimum number (rf units, the survey shows that more than 65 per cent took 14 or more units and had to pay $1,000 or more,” Dr. Myers said.
Other results of the interviews covering a myriad of subjects are:
• The largest group Of students (25 per cent) carried 15 units, while 82 per cent took between 12 and 17 units.
• Twenty-three (12 per cent) of the students were married and one was divorced; 13 had no children and a like amount had spouses who didn’t work.
number (22 per cent) answered that it was because of the convenient location, while 16 per cent each said they came because their parents attended and because they liked the School of Business.
The USC reputation, athletic advantages, a good place to meet business contacts, scholarships and dissatisfaction with other schools were other reasons given.
All of those interviewed participated in some school activity, with 111 belonging to some social group. Student government, athletic team and service group participation all placed high.
Fourty-five per cent of the students live with a spouse, parents or relatives, while fraternities and sororities (25 per cent), apartments <18 per cent) and dormitories (11 per cent)
To the question, “Why did claim the rest

One boy, speaking against the topic, declared that soldiering was wrong, the exchange teacher said. “We have learned that one of the Commandments is Thou shall not kill’,” the student commented. “After the war we were also told by the new government that never again will a German youth have to wear a uniform and kill his fellow man.’’ Ex-Nazi Critizes Immediately, a 59-year-old ex-Nazi jumped up and denounced the boy openly as being disloyal to his country, that he was not a true German and that the boy was a disgrace to his Fatherland, Lees said. The professor shouted that one does not have to hate his enemy to kill him, and it was the duty of each German soldier to kill his enemy, Lees recalled. Following this episode other respected professors approach ed the young foreigner and told him not to meddle in German affairs. Good for Germany “One told me that Hitler was good for Germany, and that all stories about German atrocities were only American lies,” Lees said. On another occasion, he was told that Canadians were poisoned by the British and American press before the war, and that Canadians “never got the right view of Hitler.” Other Nazi propaganda used by professors in their classes drifted back to Lees by way of his students. It included (Continued on Page 2) Research Center. President Topping, in his announcement of the loan, reported that as a result USC will build on its main campus two eight-story tower residence halls for 300 women and 200 men students, and a six-story building for married students to house 60 couples. A four-story residence hall complete with dining facilities for 100 students will be constructed on the School of Medicine campus near the Los Angeles County General Hospital, President Topping said. The four new buildings are due for occupancy by September, 1963. “The new structures will represent a major step toward USC’s long-range objective of having its full-time students living on or near the campus,” Dr. Topping said. “This is presently possible for less than 15 per cent of the student body.” Coed Dormitory The new coed dormitory provided in the $4,065,000 loan will be added to Elisabeth von KleinSmid Memorial Hall, May Ormerod Harris, University and College halls to complete a quadrangle between W. 34th and 35th Sts. and Hoover Blvd. and Figueroa St The men’s dormitory will face W. 35th St, completing a quadrangle with David X. Marks and Trojan halls. Married student housing will be built on the southeast corner of the campus in a triangle bounded by Exposition Blvd., McClintock Ave. and W. 37th Drive. USCs negotiations with the Housing and Home Finance Agency were conducted by Elton Phillips, business manager, and Dr. Carl M. Franklin, vice president for financial affairs Already Contributed More than $4 million had already been contributed to the Master Plan before announcement of the loan. Dr. Topping has set a $30.2 million goal for Phase One, which he hopes will be reached in the next four years. Gifts contributed thus far have included $640,000 from trustee H. Leslie Hoffman for USCs first academically endowed chair; $500,000 in unrestricted funds from trustee chairman Leonard K. Firestone; and $2.2 million from the Olin Foundation for a new engineering building. More recent gifts have been $325,000 from trustee Henry Salvatori for the establishment of a Research Institute on Communist Strategy and Propaganda, and a $1 million grant from the U.S. Public Health Service for a new Biosciences Blasts Police Instruction Incidents such as the recent Denver police scandal can be avoided by upgrading police service through professionalization, John Paul Kenny, associate professor of public administration, said recently. Kenny, who worked on the Denver problem, pointed out that inadequate training of policemen and the “head in the sand” attitude adopted by police management contributed to the scandaL The well-publicized Colorado incident last fall resulted in the eventual conviction of more than 20 patrolmen who were described as the “best safecrackers in the state.’’ Denver Request At the request of the Denver city council, Kenney, also chairman of the Los Angeles Police Commission, made a reorganization study of the Denver force. Kenney, who teaches a law enforcement administration program here, revealed that inadequate training in all echelons of the police force played a vital role in the Denver corruption. He also named the “gratuity concept” — the acceptance of free meals, coffee and cigarettes —and loose screening as other causes of the corruption. Patrolmen Involved The professor noted that only patrolmen were involved in the scandal. Most of these men were Midwesterners — farm boys, and boys just out of the war, looking for jobs,” he said. His comprehensive study of the scene prompted Kenney to suggest that members of the Denver fire and police departments get a first-hand observation of forces in Los Angeles, Oakland, Milwaukee, St Louis or Cincinnati. Recommends Official The administration expert also recommended the appointment of an outstanding police official as interim chief. Not wily should this official have no previous ties with the department, but he should be of a caliber sufficient to command the unqualified support of the city council, the administration and community,” he reported. Kenney said that public confidence in the Denver polica could be restored if the mayor, in selecting a permanent chief, would appoint a panel of lead-ng citizens with two or three outside experts to act in advisory roles. Many Students Pay Way By JERRY LABINGER That yearly $200 tuition hike effective next semester will lighten more than a few pocket books — and it won’t only be the parents of USC students who will miss the extra weight. More than one-quarter of 192 undergraduate business students interviewed recently said that they pay full tuition while attending USC from money they earn themselves. And 63 per cent of those questioned said that they were employed at some time during the past school semester. These were some of the most noteworthy findings from a survey conducted last December by undergraduate School of Business students as a project for Dr. James H. Myers’ marketing research class. The primary objective of the interviews — taken only of Business School students—was to provide the school with a more current and comprehensive picture of the activities of its students, according to Dr. Myers, associate professor of marketing. “It is also good experience for our students to conduct interviews as part of their training,” he added. Special emphasis, he said, w«as placed on determining how and by whom tuition is being paid. Names of those interviewed were selected at random and questions, w’hich ran the gamut from school activities to method of transportation to school, were of a factual nature designed to obtain objective answers, he explained. “The thing that surprised me most was the number of students (50 of 192) who paid nearly all of their tuition by themselves,” Dr. Myers reported. Altogether, 39 per cent of the students contributed at least in you choose USC?” the largest part to their tuition, while the remaining 61 per cent didn’t have to bear any of the load. Parent support (55 per cent) and scholarships (10 per cent) were predominant in the latter category. “Although skeptics might say that those who paid full tuition took a minimum number (rf units, the survey shows that more than 65 per cent took 14 or more units and had to pay $1,000 or more,” Dr. Myers said. Other results of the interviews covering a myriad of subjects are: • The largest group Of students (25 per cent) carried 15 units, while 82 per cent took between 12 and 17 units. • Twenty-three (12 per cent) of the students were married and one was divorced; 13 had no children and a like amount had spouses who didn’t work. number (22 per cent) answered that it was because of the convenient location, while 16 per cent each said they came because their parents attended and because they liked the School of Business. The USC reputation, athletic advantages, a good place to meet business contacts, scholarships and dissatisfaction with other schools were other reasons given. All of those interviewed participated in some school activity, with 111 belonging to some social group. Student government, athletic team and service group participation all placed high. Fourty-five per cent of the students live with a spouse, parents or relatives, while fraternities and sororities (25 per cent), apartments <18 per cent) and dormitories (11 per cent) To the question, “Why did claim the rest |
