The program will he sponsored by the American Society on African Studies at USC and the African Scholarship Association ol tfciuthcni California.
Robinson will present, he said. Robinson is one of three declared candidates for the top ASSC post.
Robinson has refused to release any of the points in his platform, before today’s convention, except to say he has chosen goals he feels are realistic.
“Some of the goals can be realized only with some work: these I can promise,” Robinson declared. “Other goals in the platform require the approval of the administration; these are clearly marked as such.”
Alter Parts
Robinson said that the party members will have the opportunity to reject or alter any parts of his proposed platform for its own adoption, but that it will remain as it stands novv for his purpc'.es.
“The planks in the platform which I hope the party will adopt are merely supporting points encompassing wide areas of university life which I fe3l student government can improve,” he said.
Robinson said that it is better to prepare a detailed platform with suggestions on hovv to achieve its goals rather than a mere list under the guise of "simplification.”
Lacks Knowledge
“Such a maneuver demonstrates total lack of knowledge of the responsibility of student government,” he charged.
Robinson called his platform a positive statement of issues. He felt that this might surprise those who know his thoughts on the underground TNE organization.

Row Reports Theft Of Household Items
Instructor To Exhibit Art Works
Woodcuts, etching, drawings and intaglios by a lecturer in the fine arts department will go on exhibit Sunday in the library of the Flintridge Preparatory School for Boys, 301 Foothill Blvd., La Canada.
Don LaViere Turner, who teaches graphics, will be present at the showing which will he open to the public. The show has also been scheduled for Feb. 25 and March 4.
Included in the exhibit will be a number of metal point drawings, together with a display of drawing tools, or styli, and an explanation of Turner’s concept of this linear medium.
Turner, a Milwaukeean by birth, formerly taught at the University of Wisconsin, the
Pasadena School of Fine Arts and the Otis Art Institute. He became a member of the USC fine arts faculty last summer.
Turner received his BS and MS degrees at the University of Wisconsin and his MFA at Otis Art Institute.

Anarchy seems to have made inroads on the Row with the recent departure of the University Division Police to a new station.
Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and Theta Xi fraternity both reported sizeable merchandise thefts from their houses this week amounting to almost $1,-000.
Mrs. Clementine H. Allen, Theta house mother, reported Wednesday that a S700 custom-made sofa and two tables, estimated at $150, were stolen from the Theta house the night before, after 1:15 a.m.
Sofa Returned
The sofa was found yesterday morning outside in the rain, but there was no trace of the tables, she reported.
Mrs. Allen credited the return of the sofa to lhe theft report she turned into the police after she had conducted an all-morning search of Row fraternity houses herself.
“I figured it was a prank,” fhe said, “and I took time to try to settle the affair privately and then forget it. But when I didn’t find the furniture, I had to assume that it was stolen by criminals and had to report it.”
Doors Open
The furniture was apparent ly removed through the sliding glass doors of the Theta dining room, which Mrs. Allen said she had found wide open the morning the theft was dis covered.
In the meantime, Neil Martin, Theta Xi house manager, reported that about $120 worth of food and kitchen goods were stolen from his fraternity last Tuesday between 11 p.m. and midnight.
“We lost everything from whole hams and whole roasts to the pans to cook them in, silverware and plates to eat them on and a lamp to light the meal,” Martin said.
He added that they had reported the theft to the police and that fraternity members would “automatically suspect anybody who gains weight suddenly.”
This loss follows the theft ol almost $200 worth of clothes stolen from the room of a Theta Xi pledge during semester break.
Spring Rush Registers 210 In Fraternities
Recent records for spring rush were broken this semester as 210 men filed through the IFC office to register as new pledges from a rush period marked by a slow start and a heated debate.
The old Spring semester record was set last year when 201 men registered as pledges This semester’s results were achieved with nearly 300 fewer incoming students to draw from, Joyce said.
Boosting the total to a new record was Sigma Chi. which registered 23 pledges before the close of rushing yesterday. Sigma Phi Epsilon took 20 men, while Phi Delta Theta and Phi Sigma Kappa rounded out the big-pledge category with 18 pledges each.
TEP-SAM Feud A feud broke out between Tau Epsilon Phi and Sigma Alpha Mu over which house would get rushee Jeff Wasserman. IFC Adviser Frank Joyce said Wasserman had originally signed as a TEP, but had not paid his fee, so was not technically
registered.
Then Wasserman apparently had second thoughts and removed his name from the TEP list to more closely investigate other houses, including the Sammies.
Decision Due As the deadline for registrations approached yesterday, a crowd of men from both houses appeared at the IFC office to haggle over which one had the strongest claim on Wasserman. The dispute will be settled today at nGon, at which time the rushee must make his final decision.
Joyce allowed the extra day so Wasserman could consult his parents over his decision before registering. Both houses have agreed to follow the rushee’s choice.
Five houses did not register any new pledges this semester. They were Alpha Rho Chi, Delta Sigma Phi, Kappa Alpha Psi and Sigma Nu. Theta Chi, on rush probation, did not register any men.
Fans Receive Game Advice
Tonight’s opening of a weekend series of basketball with the UCLA Bruins has been tabbed the “basketball weekend of the year” by sports writers.
The Dean of Students Office took note of this yesterday to remind Trojan fans and rooters that they are representing the university in their conduct at such
games.
Rooters were asked not to let the tensions of the game allow them to forget their responsibility as students of the university.
Details of t h e big weekend are on page four.
Students Get Last Chance' For Gripes
AMS-AWS sponsored “Improve Your School Week” will close today after a week of giving students a chance to coordinate their suggestions, recommendations and gripes concerning the university.
AMS President Gil Garcetti urged all students yesterday to submit any further ideas before the survey ends.
Suggestion boxes are located at the south end of Founders Hall, in front of the Student Union, in the Grill and in all Row houses and dormitories.
All valid proposals will be submitted to specially created committees, and proposals that do not come under AMS-AWS jurisdiction will be referred to the Faculty Senate.
The purpose of the week, according to Garcetti and AWS President Kay Yunker. is to determine the “representativeness” of student government.
“A student is wasting his time at a university where the student government cannot do something about the complaints and suggestions of its student body,” Garcetti said.
Helm Commission Finishes Plan for Fee Bill Addition
Plans for a proposed Student Union building fund fee to be added to fall tuition bills were completed yesterday by the Student Union Planning Commission. The bill will be submitted to the university and to the voters for approval.
The commission, headed by ASSC President Hugh Helm, will submit the plan to the administration next week and then to the student body in a special election in the beginning of April.
The proposal as voted on yesterday would add an additional semesterly fee to the tuition of all day students, graduate or undergraduate, carrying 6 or more units.
The students will be given two choices on the amount of the fee under the current proposal.
a “no” vote to determine whether they want to support the program for a new Student Union building. A simple majority would decide the bill. Helm said. All voters, whether in favor of the program or not, will also be asked to determine which plan of assessment they want put into effect should the proposition pass.
The first plan would assess students $5 a semester for 3*/2 years, accuring an overall total of $350,000. This would allow $315,000 for building and $3.V 000 for programming additional activities and services.
This is sufficiently in excess of the $300,000 goal needed to pay almost the total interest on a loan to be granted by an outside agency on the $300,000
total of $360,000. $320,000 of this would be allotted for building and $40,000 for programming, Helm said.
This plan would also include payment of built-in interest on the outside loan.
Helm said that after either time period expired, the fee would be lowered to $2 a semester for programming.
The purpose of the programming, he explained, was to plan extra services, speakers and programs.
ASSC Vice President Sue Mc-Burney was appointed by Helm to head a subcommittee to study the possibilities of the type of programs the‘ allotments would allow students to see.
The programs, their types to I he determined by a student sur-

Solid Issues' Will Concern TRG Candidate
By HAL DRAKE Daily Trojan City Editor
Yell leader Bart Leddel jumped into the fast-expanding swim for the ASC presidency yesterday as the standard-bearer of the Trojans for Representative Government Party.
Laddel, a member of Zeta Bata Tau fraternity, promised to turn student government into a “driving force” in the university if elected on the TRG platform.
Sigma Chi Dwight Chapin.
Laddel’s campaign manager and an active member of TRG, said a full platform and roster of candidates will be released by his party next week.
The TRG platform will stress concrete issues affecting all areas of university life, the new candidate said.
Business Major
Laddel, a business major who was chosen by the university to attend the National Association of Manufacturers conference in New York last fell, claimed the student interest is being ignored in the current framework of student government.
“Not only in my opinion but in the opinion of a majority of the student body, student government has wandered further and further from being student-centered—only to be completely engrossed in political trivia,” he charged.
Open System
“We need an open, competi-1 tive political system,” he con- ASSC officers will close today tinued. “Only in this way will at 5 with estimates indicating student interest be generated and the representation of student government magnified.”
Laddel deplored the small turnout in ASSC elections.
“It seems rediculous that in a student body of 11.000 we can get fewer than 2.000 to come out to vote,” he said.
“Student government is supposed to be the driving force for improving the spirit, interest and culture of the student body,” he added. “But here student government is looked down upon because representation is limited to the small elements who vote.”
Became Open
Trojaas for Rrpesentative Government declared themselves as an open campus political party last spring in response to a plea for open political parties issued by President Topping.

Petitioning for more than 90
that fewer office seekers than previous years are filing. Election Commissioner John Moyer said yesterday.
Moyer made his rough estimate by noticing how full the petition box appeared. He said the slack could be the result of some candidates holding back for a better view of possible opposition.
“I urge all such persons to remember today's deadline and to be sure to get their petitions in before it’s too late,” Moyer said.
Presidential Meeting Moyer has called a special meeting of ASSC presidential candidates for Monday afternoon following the 2:30 general orientation meeting.
They will discuss the problem caused by using fee bills for determining voter eligibility at the polls in March.
