Report to Mosk
By RICK BUTLER Daily Trojan Managing Editor
Dean of Students Robert J. Downey is expected to sign a report tomorrow or Thursday to be sent to State Attorney General Stanley Mosk outlining university action taken against Zeta Beta Tau following last week's pledge-fainting incident.
A tive-point decision was reported made by the Inter-Fraternity Council Judicial at a| special meeting held last week. The IFC’s recommendations for) action are in the dean's hands.
★ ★ ★ Greeks Work For Months On Help Day
Help Day projects rangin from painting to earth moving went off without a hitch Iasi week despite loss of a “good press’’ to the ZBT incident.
IFC Secretary Jess Hitl Jr. said the project got nearly 100 per cent cooperation from every house. More than 350 men donated nearly five hours each to the Help Day project.
At least 1,750 man-hours la bor—more than two months worth—was donated to 15 charitable institutions and the Los Angeles Parks and Recreation Dept. All types of general cleanup, minor repairs and painting were included in the day’s activities.
Five Trucks A s i x-page scheduling program was needed to coordinate the network of trucks which took the men from one job to another. The five rented trucks kept within minutes of their tight schedule in an area that extended from Hollywood to Inglewood and from USC to East Los Angeles.
Money for the Help Day came from house dues paid tc the IFC and was used both for truck rental and for box lunches. Total cost of the day’s work was about $325.
Elaborate Schedule Neal Salisian, assistant to the IFC adviser, organized Help Day and drew up the elaborate schedules. He was assisted by fraternity members who went along to. supervise their individual pledge classes.
“The whole day went like clockwork." said IFC President Mike Gless. “We had fine coverage on every major L. A. television station on the 6 a.m. news.”
Praise Work
Gless said he has received three letters so far complimenting the men who participated in the project. He said IFC will conduct a similar program every semester because of the fine reaction to the operation.
Gless noted that the head of Rest Haven Home, where one group worked all day, called him to say it was the best job of volunteer work that had ever been done at the Home. She asked to have the men back for the next Help Day, Gless said.
Full Report
University investigation of the Jan. 29 incident in which a ZBT pledge suffered “hyperventilation and mild shock’’ during a “pass-the-eggs” preinitiation Hell Week stunt has been conducted for the past week.
Attorney General Mosk has written the university requesting a full report of the incident,' ^ on the steps taken by the uni-j versity to prevent hazing, and! the disciplinary action against; the fraternity and individuals! involved.
nance the education of candidates for doctor of philosophy degrees who wish to become engineering teachers was announced recently by President Norman Topping.
Loans made to students from Ford Foundation funds need not be repaid if the students obtain PhDs and join the faculties of engineering schools for at least five years. Dr. Topping explained.
Candidates must have a master’s degree in engineering, a related science or matematics. be no more than 40 years old, be admitted to graduate school and have a serious interest in an engineering education carecr.
Applications for the loans can be made now to Dean Alfred C. Ingersoll of the School of Engineering, who will administer the grant.
Dean Ingersoll noted that there is a great shortage of engineering teachers with PhDs in the United States.
“At least 8.000 new faculty members of greatly increased quality will be needed in the United States by 1970 to hold engineering at its expected level nationally in comparison with other sciences,” Dean Ingersoll said.
Political Climate Fogs'Candidates

Dr. Downey has written t ho I The spring semester opens Attorney General that a full re- with us already in the midst of port will be sent him as soon an ASSC political race that as investigation of the incident promises to be one of the most
is completed.
The incident occurred when 19-vear-old pledge Harold Davidson fainted at the fraternity house last Monday evening while participating in a Hell Week exercise. He had worked all day on IFC Help Day activities. When Davidson collapsed, the fraternity called an ambulance to take the pledge to Central Receiving Hospital. He was released and sent home for rest.
Judicial Report
A member of Judicial told the
free-wheeling in recent years.
Few are trying to predict the outcome of this year's presidential contest for two main reasons.
First, not only is petitionin which opened yesterday, as early as last year, but the date of the election itself has been moved forward a full month. Petitioning Moved When petitioning was moved up to the first week for the first time last year, purportedly to increase the length of campaign time for candidates, Dailj Trojan that the recom- confusion 0f a new semes -mendation made to the dean of ter kept many students from student's office by IFC Judicial fiIing for office requests charter probation for
ZBT, three types of suspension and the removal of all current ZBT house officers.
Charter probation would mean that ZBT would automatically become inactive on this campus if the chapter or any members became involved in any further “trouble’’ within the next two years. However, Judicial is reported to have asked that this penalty be ubject to appeal after one year.
It was also reported that ZBT may be suspended from IFC, rushing and social activities.
None of Judicial's recommendations will become official however, until Dean Downey signs the official report. Dr. Downey told the Daily Trojan that he has not yet taken any official action in the matter.
Dr. Downey did not say what action would be taken against individuals involved in the matter. He said he wished to make his report to Attorney General Mosk’s office before releasing
Now that the election is also moved up (reason: to give new officers a chance to adjust to their offices gracefully), the extra short campaign time may catch many hopefuls unprepared with support.
Short Winded
One might construe this abbreviated campaign period as being to the advantage of the so-called TNE group, which usually, is prepared with a campaign months in advance, if it were not for the important second reason.
This reason is that for the first time in several years th? TNE government group is reported to be in confusion itself. First the underground politicos are said to have had trouble deciding on a candidate and, now that that is settled, key fraternities in the voting bloc appear to be balking the organization.
ed as “sure” to file, one “possi bly” and a fourth "doubtful.” The doubtful is Dwight Chapin, president of Sigma Chi and a leader in the estab lishment of long-underground Trojans for Representative Government (TRG) as an “open” (in name only) politi cal party.
Active Anyhow Chapin has been said to be out of the race by everyone but himself. If he were not to run, however, he would be sure to remain active as the head of TRG in the campaigning.
Possible candidate is Mike Robinson (for the second year in a row)t a former ASSC sen ator and founder of the Repre sentation Party last year.
The race to be first to the petition box will probably be between Dann Moss, Junior Class president, and Gil Gar-cetti, AMS president.
Both Moss and Garcetti have been regarded as potential rivals for the presidency since two days after the election ot Hugh Helm last year. (Some people even regarded them as such two days before Helm’s election.) Both men have compiled enviable records in their current offices, but Garcetti was rumored earlier to have decided against trying for the top office.
Best Chanre If discord in “all-powerful’’ TNE actually exists, a TRG or independent candidate will have the best chance in years to gain office. If such exists the present TNE will be finished, since the remaining houses have to take this election to be in a position to attract new strength.

Faculty to Probe Salaries
The newly elected Executive Committee of the University Senate will meet at 1:15 today to give thorough consideration to an urgent plea for faculty salary increases made by outgoing chairman Dr. Robert Craig.
Dr. Kenneth A. Harwood, head of the department of telecommunications and newly elected chairman, reported that the nine-man committee will be studying “thoroughly” Professor Craig’s recommei."tations for new approaches and increased attention to the “most pressing problem" of faculty salaries. The Senate asked last semester that first priority be given to the problem.
During the year President Topping has made it clear that his goal was to achieve the equivalent of a current American Association of University Professors' Class B salary average within the next five years, Dr. Craig said in a summary report. At present asso-
ciate and full professors are | gest that the administration earning “C” level wages. |give priority to funds sufficient
The B-level goal "established a target worthy of support as the first achievement,” professor of business and industrial management. Dr. Craig said. “A precise and unequivocal policy of implementation must be recommended, adopted, and zealously pursued,” his report continued.
“Sometimes we have been stunned by the attitude and performance by some of the Deans, Directors, and so-called Department Heads who strut upon our stage. If the USC lag were not so serious and our plight so well advertised, some of the seances we have observed might have been classed as hilarious entertainment.
“We are surprised that there are remnants of the age of administrators who react with hostile grimaces when the teaching faculty introduces the subject of improved faculty compensation, and boldly sug-
for immediate action,” the report read.
“The day when these discussions need take place in an atmosphere of frozen faces is gone. Rather, it is the administration that needs now to spend sleepless nights raising the ante and making the plans not only for Class B scales in a great institution of this kind but of Class A scales and a demand for Class A performance to meet the challenge of the manicured and polished colleges and universities arising around us,” it continued.
Dr. Craig, who now becomes an ex-officio member of the Senate, also urged faculty to take heed of the salary situation and go beyond “time honored methods of negotiation to remind the administration of the need for an immediate, radical, and unprecedented change in compensation scheu-ules. The law of supply and
demand has created a new environment for old worries.”
Dr. Craig said that promising professors must be assured that “there is a future worth gambling here.
"Time was wrhen we didn’t have the funds or the competitive need to fortify our program on this front,” he said. "But that is changing now. If we are to achieve excellence we must, demand the best from all of our faculty, and the administration must be the first to suggest and fight for immediate salary schedules which will keep the competent and lure the best performers in every field.
“This is a cooperative effort —not a competitive area within our own wails,” Dr. Craig continued- "Either side that fails to see and respond to this challenge with the highest dollars and with the first priority will be participants in a vain program leading to oblivion.” (Continued on Page 3)

Three Coeds To Compete For Crown
Group Studies Traffic Court Improvement
Judges and other legal officials with strong interests in traffic court justice opened their 15th annual Western Regional Traffic Court Conference yesterday at the School of Law.
During the week, 50 conferees will hear nationally known traffic court improvement leaders who are being presented by the School of Law in cooperation with American Bar Association and the Northwestern University Traffic Institute.
Eliminate ‘Fix’
Presiding judge Thomas L. Griffith Jr. of the Los Angeles Municipal Court and Dean Robert Kingsley of the School of Law welcomed traffic court judges, prosecutors, court attaches and others who are attending from eight Western states.	1
James P. Economos, director of the ABA Traffic Court Program, opened the conference by stressing the need for each judge to eliminate “the traffic ticket fix” as well as favoritism, and to set the pace for safety in his community.
“Let it be known in your community that there is no back door to the court, no ‘vio-late-for-a-price’ policy,” he said.
The conference members also heard Harold Sullivan, deputy chief in the Los Angeles Police Department, traffic division, talk on police responsibility. Provide Records “The court and police form a foundation for a wall which, once erected, work to keep the motorist on the side of safety,” Sullivan said. “Without such a highly intensified cooperative plan, full enforcement is impossible.”
Tom Bright, director of the California Department of Motor Vehicles, stated that one of his department’s responsibilities to the court is to provide accurately and promptly the information from its records requited by the court.
Helm Schedule To Affect Filing For All Offices
Bv DAN SMITH Senate Reporter
Petitioning for all major Executive Cabinet posts, ASSC Senate seats, class vice presidencies and field-of-study presidencies will open today at 3, ASSC President Hugh Helm announced yesterday.
According to the official university calendar, petitioning for ASSC executive,' offices was to have started yes- j, terday, with minor office pe- ' titioning not to start until next) week. The schedule put out by Helm marks a deviation from the original plans.
Petitions Available
Helm said that the petitions will be available in 301a SU and must be returned by 5 p.m. Feb. 16 to a ballot box in the same office. Campaigning is scheduled to begin and posters to go up on March 5.
Genera] elections will be held March 15 and 16. Any run-offs will be held March 20.
John Moyer, appointed by Helm to replace Election Commissioner Salli Allison, said all candidates must hold a 2.5 grade average to be eligible for any, office. Miss Allison relinquished her position to accept a scholarship for study in France.
Two Years’ Study
Moyer said that candidates for ASSC president, vice president and secretary must have completed two years of study at the university and have 90 units of college work credited to them by the end of this semester.
The -VMS and AWS presidential candidates must have completed two years of study at USC and have been credited with 60 units. Class presidents must have been members of the classes they represent for at least one full semester before election.
Senators and field-of-study presidents must have been en rolled in their major field a minimum of one year by the end of this semester.
The candidates must appear at an orientation meeting on Feb. 19 at 3 p.m. in the Sen ate Chambers, Moyer said. If the candidates or their approved proxies fail to attend, they will be automatically disqualified.
Complete Lists
Candidates will be required to submit complete lists of their proposed campaign activities on Feb. 22. including posters, banners and any planned gimmicks.
“Any other campaign activities requested after this time won’t be allowed,” Helm warned.
All campaign material will be examined by the election commissioner from Feb. 28 through March 2. He must approve the material before it can be used.
Court Edicts Hinder Police, Deputy Says
Crime in Los Angeles is increasing four times as fast as the population and control of law-breaking is being complicated by court decisions and the public’s double standard of morality.
This view was expressed by Los Angeles Deputy Police Chief Noel A. McQuown during a three-day Police-Community Relations Institute held on campus last week.
Items discussed during the 5th annual institute included human relations problems, juvenile delinquency, the changing urban population and ways of improving communication about these problems between police and other community agencies.
Wants Order
Although the public wants law and order, it is allowing a world-wide revolt against authority, McQuown said, noting that assaults on police officers have become a serious community problem.
He referred to local teenage gang wars, the post-football game Alhambra riot, the Grit* fith Park incident last Memorial Day and almost weekly riots by teenage party crashers as incidents of this revolt.” "Limitations are being placed on law enforcement by court decisions and new legislation,” he claimed. 'The ability of our communities to protect themselves against the criminal army is seriously weakened when the thin blue line of law enforcement is unnecessarily restricted in its effectiveness.” John A. Buggs, executive secretary of the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations, discussed the change in human relations in the Los Angeles area.
Growth Rate He reported that Los Angeles is experiencing the growth of a highly segregated community that can be compared with the most unfortunate of such situations to be found anywhere in the United States.
“The spectacular increase in the Mexican-American and nonwhite population since 1950 has altered, once and for all. the character of the inter-group re-1 a t i o n s that existed in this area for generations,” Buggs said.
Three finalists were recently chosen by the School of Engineering. SC Engineer magazine! and engineering fraternity Sigma Phi Delia to vie for the) queen title for Engineering) Week which will be held at the end of this month.
Kappa Cindy Calkins, Tri Delt Sue Sale ard Theta Anita Tilley were chosen from an original field of nine women to compete for the title.
Other semi-finalists were DG Carol I^ee Gore, Pi Phi Judy Malt ess. Alpha Chi Omega Cor-alyn Powers, Alpha Gam Patty Jo Powers, Chi Omega Glenda White and ADPi Susan Wilson.
Trustees Elect Brooker Benefactor Harris Dies
The three finalists were chosen by Jay Shuman, president of Sigma Phi Delta; Vik Zuybzid, queen contest chairman; Ed W a i s, editor of SC Engineer magazine: and five faculty members from the School of Engineering, including Dean Alfred Ingersoll.
The student hotly of the Engineering School will vote for their queen with ballots to be printed in a special issue of the SC Engineer. The queen wilt be announced at the Engineers Ball.
Robert E. Brooker, president
of Montgomery Ward, was elected to the Board of Trustees during the semester break.
The selection of Brooker came shortly before the announcement of the death Jan. 30, of Mrs. John W. Harris, one of USCs principal benefactors.
Mrs. Harris, a member of the Board of Trustees since 1938, died at her Bel-Air home after a year’s illness. She was 80 years old.
Brooker, a 1927 graduate of the School of Engineering, had been elected to the presidency of the mail order-retail merchandising corporation by its board of directors last November.
From 1958 to 1961, Brooker was president of Whirlpool Corp., Benton Harbor, Mich, appliance manufacturer.
