ACADEMIC FREEDOM
AAUP Criticizes
Physician s Stand

The USC Executive Committee of the American : Association of University Professors yesterday rapped the president of the Los Angeles Medical Association for denouncing the right of individual faculty in the Medical School to take a stand in the growing con- j *	Itroversy 'over medical aid

In a six-point statement, the 21-member committee, representing the approximately 190 members of the USC chapter of the AAUP, condemned Dr. Ian MacDonald for taking a

Dynamic Speaker
"Dr. Bartlett is a very brilliant, dynamic person who has spoken before many campus groups,” Dr. Strevey said. “In a sense, we’re just bringing him back home to our campus.”
Dr. Bartlett held pastorates in Hilton and Syracuse, N.Y., Columbia, Mo., and Evanston, 111., before coming to Los Angeles. His Los Angeles church was an inner-city congregation of 2,200 with a staff of 16.
The former radio preacher has been described by Dan Thrapp of the Los Angeles Times as one of the “few really great preachers” in modern religion.

Difficult Task
No task is more difficult than training for leadership because this is something that cannot be taught out of a book, assigned a course number or evaluated by a grade,”
Dr. Ingersoll said.
He said the result of leadership training in colleges and universities may not rise to the surface until years later when the engineer suddenly finds himself in a position of real responsibility where his per sonal decision may make a big difference.

Heeres Sees 10,000-Plus At Songfest
Songfest 1962 will break previous attendance records, Bill Heeres, chairman, predicted yesterday.
Heeres said more than 10,-000 people will attend the event Saturday at the Hollywood Bowl. The record, set in 1960, is 9,200.
“I’m not talking through my hat,” Heeres said. “I know we will topple the existing record. University ticket sales and surprise blocks from Southland high schools and junior colleges assure a 10,000-plus crowd.”
