Cliques Hurt ASSC s Life, Topping Says
Student government at USC must become representative or it may have to be abolished, President Topping warned at an in formal gathering of student leaders and administrators yesterday.
Dr. Topping told the group that student government must justify itself as a responsible instrument of the entire student body.
“If it gets down to where it
is just a very tightly run little organization, not for the majority of the student body, it is not student government,” the president said. “As long as it keeps a fair number of students interested, then I think it is fine.”
Danger Signal
Should student government degenerate to the point “where it is no longer student government, then it seems there is nothing left to do but get rid of it,” he said.
The question of student government was one of several issues discussed by the president, his administrative staff and old and new student body officers at the get-together.
They also scrutinized the questions of greater class and university unity, student elections procedures, better foreign student integration and greater fraternity-sorority responsibility.
The possibility of beginning a series of undergraduate-faculty coffee hours as a means of stimulating “intellectual conversation” on campus was raised. Dr. Tracy E. Strevey, vice president of academic affairs, said that the program could be coordinated through the University Senate Committee on Academic Affairs.
Class Funds Budget funds for freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes w*as also suggested as a means of helping classes de-v e 1 o p a feeling of unity and loyalty among their members Administrators and students generally agreed that the appearance of open political parties on campus might signify a healthier political atmosphere, if the parties remain open and democratic.
Dr. Topping pointed out that an “open party” should “hold a convention to nominatf its candidates and draw up a party platform in order that the student body knows who the party's candidates are and what that party stands for.”

CROSS TO BEAR—Unhappy blood drive workers draped Tommy Trojan in a giant Red Cross banner yesterday as blood donations fell 195 pints behind quota. Trojans may donate blood at Methodist Center from 10 to 2:30. UCLA, which went 52 pints over its 1,000 quota, has been needling Troy for not meeting a 600-pint goal.

Library Gets New Edition
Dr. James Clarence Coe, scientist, has presented a copy of his new book, “Common Stocks for Investors and Traders,” to Doheny Library.
The study gives information concerning the complex world of high finance, with discussions of the behavior of common stocks, stock selection, timing and the objectives of the investor.
Desperate Blood Drive committeemen draped Tommy Trojan with a giant Red Cross banner yesterday to emphasize the faltering condition of tho annual charity race.
Blood Drive Chairman tim Walsh said the flag was brought out to “remind and shame” the student body into donating the 195 pints needed today to meet the week's 600-pint goal.
Donations dropped to 131 pints yesterday, after jumping to 149 Wednesday following a weak start Tuesday that drew 124 pints.
"We are expecting the usual last-minute donations today to save us from completely missing our quota,” Walsh said. “Students at this university have always w'aited until the last day before turning out in the past, and we’re hoping the same will be true this year.”
Walsh said the Red Cross will raise the total of donation beds from 6 to 10 to accommodate the expected large turnout.
The drive chairman was still confident that enough pints would be collected to repudiate a letter mocking the Trojan effort received Wednesday from the UCLA blood drive chairman.
UCLA, which went 52 pints over its quota in the annual rivalry with Troy, mocked the lack of participation in the USC drive.
Walsh pointed out, however, that for the past three days many potential donors had to be rejected for failing to meet health or age requirements.
In the inter-group competition for trophies, Sigma Alpha Epsilon held a comfortable lead in the fraternity race with 25 pints. Theta Chi moved to sec-
ond place with 17 donations, with Kappa Alpha third with 11 and Theta Xi fourth with 10.
Alpha Phi led the sorority race wit1? 15 donations, while j Alpha Gamma Delta held second with 13 and Kappa Gamma was their with 11.
Women’s dorm competiton was led by Harris Plaza with 13 pints, followed by Town aind Gown with 10, while Stonier Hall led the flagging men’s dorm race with 7 donations.
Trojan Knights moved into the lead in the service group competition with 13 pints, followed closely by Amazons with 10 and Squires with 9.
Independent donations reached 156 pints yesterday, while Row donations rose to 248.
Dinner Fetes 25 Teachers
Los Angeles Superintendent of Schools, Jack P. Crowther, spoke at a special dinner last night honoring 25 Los Angeles high school teachers participating in USCs Specialist-Teach-er Program.
Dr. David W. Martin, associate professor of education and holder of a Teaching Excellence Award for 1961, also talked on “Pattern? of Culture” at the dinner, which was attended by Dr. Paul White, professor of mathematics; Dr. James Bartholomew, professor of bacteriology; Dr. John Russell, head of the astronomy department; Dr. Dorothy McMahon, head of the Spanish department; Dr. Wendell Cannon, professor of education; Dr. Myron Olson, professor of eduaction; and Dr. William Templeman, head of the English department.

Expert to Discuss Marriage Success
ings of Stanford educator Dr Joan King McFee, Dr. Merrifield said that it is vital to emphasize the multiple solutions to problems ot every nature.
"Sensitivity to problems is an important initial phase of creative performance unless students see that some problems exist that cannot be solved,” he said.
The situation in the university is limited to the instructor being able to point out new directions in problems-solv-ing, which can awaken the creative spirit of the student. Dr. Merrifield said.
He agreed with conclusions of Dr. McFee that creative ability as early as the ninth grade level should be enhanced. Dr. Merrifield also feels that college entrance examinations should stress creativity in or der that universities may get 3 “full view” of the student’s capabilities.
“The achievement of a grade is not an index of education,” the professor said. “Many of our grading systems are pointed toward getting a right answer on an exam and this cer tainly does not measure the whole student.”
At Stanford, Dr. McFee observed after a seven-month research program with ninth graders that failing causes flexibility in creative talents.
After the tests were over they told us the students repeatedly learned that failure is an important tool to progress,’ (Continued on Page 2)
“What the English Have Learned About Successful Marriage” will be reported tonight at 7:30 in 129 FH by A. Joseph Brayshaw. executive director of the National Marriage Guidance Council o f Great Britain.
Brayshaw’s talk will cover the differences between British and American marriages that result from economic conditions and national traditions, Dr. James A. Peterson, associate professor of sociology and USC marriage counselor, said.
Marriage experts have said that the British have l>eon able to avoid the difficulties of American marriages and family relations because they are c more conservative people than Americans, and thus they avoid the extremes of restriction and permissiveness in this country.

Party Claims Responsibility As Watchdog'
Temporary officers of the University Students Party (USP) told a small gathering of students at the formulation meeting yesterday that the new “out party” will act as I USC's watchdog for responsible TRG government.
Acting President Steve Meiers, a member of a student organization that protested TRG's “semi-open status” prior to last week’s election, said USP will follow the “two-party tradition” in maintaining its vigil over the activities of Trojans for Representative Government.
Council of Representatives
Meiers claimed his party will accomplish its “completely open and completely representative policy” through a council of representatives.
“Any organized group of 15 or more students will be entitled to one voting representative on the council,’’ Meiers told the 40 students who attended the orientation meeting.
Apportionment of represent atives will be based on a ratio of one for every 15 members.
Thus, if an organization has 30 members, it will be allowed two representatives; if it has 45 members it may have three representatives, and so on,
Meiers explained.
Independents will have representation, too,” Meiers continued. “Any unorganized group of students can obtain a representative on the same 1 per 15 ratio. All it must do is meet and select one.”
Real System Meiers said he hoped to make student government at USC a “real two-party system.”

Meiers claimed that all power in his party will be in the hands of the council of representatives.

Daily Trojan Managing Editor
Panhellenic Judicial has recommended social probation for Delta Delta Delta following the first meeting of Sorority Judicial in two-and-a-half-years Wednesday. The penalty was levied over an unpetitioned TGIF party on a closed afternoon following the Trojanality contest early this month.
Phi Delta Theta fraternity, where the impromptu party was held, has also been placed! on social probation until Junei by Inter-Fraternity Council Judicial for allowing the party
to be held and alcoholic beverages to be served.
The Tri-Delt probation recommendation marked the first time in at least two-and a-half-years that Panhellenic Judicial has met to penalize a sorority. The sorority presidents voted for the social probation for the remainder of the semester by a 10 to 3 count.
Petitioned Events Mary Memory, Panhellenic president, .stepped down to allow president-elect Patty Hill to run the session. Miss Memory is a Tri-Delt.
The recommendation asks Dean of Students Robert J. Downey to place Delta Delta Delta on probation beginning April 1 for all ASSC petitioned social events.
Under these terms the sorority will still be able to hold its formal this weekend, and participate in all-univf*rsity events and internal house functions, Miss Memory explained.
Phi Delta Theta President Jim Bartscherer said the illegal party started when Tri-Delt members brought two kegs of beer to the Phi Delt house as a gesture of appreciation to Mr. Trojanality candidate Steve Moder. Moder had offered to donate his money votes to a Tri-Delt entry in the Miss Trojanality contest, but the contest committee refused the vote swap, Bartscherer said.
Others Joined During the afternoon members of other houses joined in the party with the Tri-Delts and Phi Delts, but there was no disturbance caused by the group, he noted.
Miss Memory denied that any Tri-Delt members took alcoholic beverages to the Phi Delt house, although she said she was not present at the function. She noted that the Panhellenic recommendation did not contain any mention of drinking on the Row.
Bartscherer said his fraternity would petition the IFC’s decision. He said that he and two others from his house conferred with Dr. William H. McGrath, assistant dean of students, men, before deciding to enter the petition.
