Rush Issue Sparks Meet For Senators
A resolution recommending ‘'deferred" rushing for freshmen students ignited high-pitched discussion last night at the semester’s first ASSC Senate meeting.
Two possible ASSC Constitutional amendments were also considered by the senators. One dealt with revising the election procedure for field-of-study senators, while the other called for continuation of the present system of electing the presiding officer of the Senate from the body itself.
Deferred rushing, as defined in the recolution introduced by Biological Sciences Senator Tom Bell, would .prevent freshmen students from rushing fraternities until they had been on camnus a minimum of one semester and had received a minimum 2.0 grade average.
Freshman Problems Bell said that the current system aggravates the freshman's adjustment problems. He claimed that low freshman grade averages often result from the overloaded schedule of freshmen who try to get used to college and join a fraternity at the same time.
Opponents to the measure, however, pointed out that the deferred plan would simply extend the period in which fraternities informally entertain prospective pledges.
Rework Measure The measure was finally sent to committee for reworking after senators refused to vote because cop’es of the bill were not available.
Lack of communication between the Senate and field-of-study organizations sparked discussion of ways to improve the present representation system.
Senators suggested that stricter regulation of field-of-study councils by the Senate would improve communication with the average student.
'one proposed that presidents who do not meet minimum performance standards be impeached, but no vote was taken on any of the considerations.

Bias Dispute Aids Firemen,
Faculty Hears
The handling of the recent discrimination controversy in the Los Angeles Fire Department resulted in an "important step forward” in that department’s employee relations, the Faculty Center was told yesterday.
Associate Law Dean Orrin B.
Evans, who began serving as a member of the city’s Civil Sen’ ice Commission last July just as the controversy flared, reported at the faculty luncheon that proper handling of the situation led to improved conditions for minority group firemen.
The row arose out of com plaints by Negro firemen that they were being discriminated against in Civil Service oral interviews for promotions.
The new commissioners decided to hold a hearing, Professor Evans reiated, but would not allow it to turn into a full-scale investigation of the fire department.
“There were indications the protesting firemen wanted a full investigation rather than a study of Civil Service procedures,’’ Dean Evans said.
“But we have no jurisdiction over the fire department and so did not allow this."
As a result, he continued, the fire department agreed to conduct its own investigation which resulted in direct orders preventing unequal sharing of facilities in fire stations.
Dean Evans said that the Civil Service Commission attempted to attract more Negro applicants for fire department positions by abandoning the oral interview and giving only a written examination.
“This still didn’t attract a larger number of apil jants," he noted. "I think there is some other reason for the ~mall number of Negro firemen. Pei’- scientists in universities and haps improving the opportuni-jnon-federal institutions for re-

Established in 1923, Civic : Center is the downtown branch iof USC on the 10th floor of the Mirror building, 145 S Spring St.
More than 120 classes are taught there 12 hours a day for mere than 1.000 students, the majority of whom are city, state, county and federal employees interested in their professional advancement. During nearly 40 years, Civic Center has had some 10,000 students.
Many Courses Courses are offered in public administration, business ad ministration, city and regional planning, education, engineering, library science and public affairs. Classes lead to regular degrees from USC.
Because the Civic Center division is in the heart of Los Angeles’ financial and government center, many classes are taught for men and women employed in these fields. Special instruction is also given to policemen, firemen and sheriff’s officers.
Center Classes There are classes in economics, English, fine arts, geography, mathematics, philosophy, political science, psychology, sociology and speech.
Special institutes are offered for federal middle management personnel, public hospital ad ministrators, probation and parole officers and heads of mu nicipal departments.
The new Civic Center director has a master’s degree in public administration from USC and a doctcrate in political science, also from USC. His other degrees are from Los Angeles City College and the University of California, Berk eley.

Gareet*i Protest Quick protest to the letter was issued by AMS President Gil Garcetti, the only hopeful to have announced his candidacy so far. Garcetti described the letter as an attempt to ‘lower the campaign” to a mud-slinging level.
ASSC President Hugh Helm said that the letter violated campaign procedures but added Moss could not be held responsible for the maneuver until he formally petitions to run for the office.
Added Voices In the meantime two ASSC senators added their voices to the complaints of inconsistency in campaign dates announced earlier this week by Helm.
Public Administration Senator Ron Dowd and Humanities Senator John Saur said that Helm had no authority to schedule elections a week earlier than specified in the Elections Code passed by the Senate.
Rushing Ban From TEPs
Tau Epsilon Phi won a reprieve yesterday from the rush suspension placed on the house following last Halloween’s battle with the Sigma Alpha Mus.
Dean of Students Robert J. Downey said he lifted the penalty because he felt TEP had made a sincere effort to correct the conditions which led to the riot, which caused about $500 damage to the Sammie house.
TEP’s national executive secretary and the house’s officers had met with Dr. Downey before he released his decision.
Pledge Class
The decision means TEP will be able to pledge a new class during the present rush period, which ends Feb. 15.
IFC Judicial had recommended to Dr. Downey just before Christmas vacation that the rush ban be lifted, but the dean refused because he felt there

Chimps Pressure' As Rocket Orbits
Soars
Earth
Astrochimp Enos suffered from hypertension during much of his history-making orbital flight last November, an analysis of physiological data collected by the university revealed recently.
Definite evidence of the four-year-old chimp's high blood pressure was traced by a USC-developed blood-pressure recording device on a 350-foot reel of 16 mm. film, according to Dr. John P. Meehan, associate professor of physiology. Dr. Meehan designed and built the recording device which orbited with Enos during his 180-minute trip.
Processes Recorded
The USC medical researchers noted the strong evidence of Enos’ experience with hypertension during his current analysis of the blood pressure recordings and the correlation of this information with oscillograph records of Ihe chimp's respiration, heart action and psycho-motor (task) performance. The information was pro-
vided by the Space Task Force Group, Langley Field, Va.
“Enos developed hypertension at the start of his journey and it persisted until his recovery," Dr. Meehan reported. "In spite of this he continued to perform tasks for which he had been trained throughout the flight, even during the exit and peak re-entry accelerations."
Malfunction Shocks Enos
remained in generally good physiological and psychological condition even during the most stressful periods of the flight,” Dr. Meehan said.
Another possible cause of additional stress on Astrochimp Enos was the failure of stabilizing jets, Dr. Meehan re-
classes at the university. Assistant Registrar P a t O’Donnell reported. This would be an increase of 352 students over last Spring's final tally.
The figures, which do not include the Schools of Law, Dentistry and Medicine, are expected to make this semester’s Spring day enrollment the largest since 1959.
Total enrollment for this semester has been estimated at 16,300, representing a n increase of 3.45 per cent over the total enrollment for last Spring, which was 15,932.

Plea^nnt Surprise Moss, contacted at his fraternity, said he had been “pleasantly surprised" to learn of the letter, but asked his unknown supporters to “stand-up and be counted."
“It’s nice to know at least one student would like to se me made president.” he remarked, pointing out that he has not yet decided to run for office.
President Helm said that anv stunts, such as the letter, will not be tolerated during the ramrwien. but added no action can be taken now because Moss is not a declared candidate.
An anery candidate Garcetti said that Moss should be re-is|sponsible for the letter even if he didn’t print it himself.
“If he can’t mantain control of his supporters, how will he be able to control student government?" Garcetti asked.
i said the fraternity was glad “to see the administration and the IFC take an objective view in this matter." He said the house expected to have a good rush season despite the other remaining restrictions.

To be effective, corrective penalization and education in the traffic courts must reach the community, not just the defendant, a panel of two judges and an American Bar Association official said yesterday.
Panelists were Judge James A. Ravella, Municipal Court. Warren, Ohio; supervising Judge Alphonse Wells, traffic division. Municipal Court, Chicago; and James P. Economos, director of the ABA traffic court program.
Topics at today’s session of the conference will be county-wide court administration, the thinking and procedure which led to California’s new juvenile court law and medical and physiological aspects of chemical tests for intoxication.

The panel members at yesterday’s session agreed that every minute a judge spends on the bench in the traffic court should be an educational experience to the audience

the judge as he analyzes each defendant, determines the severity of the offense and decides on the proper penalty.
They also decided that it is the judge’s responsibility to bhow that each defendant before him is the most important person at that moment and that the case is of similar imj>ortanee.
Economos, ho headed the discussion, stressed that the sentencing and the re-education of the traffic violator can be
car properly; and “won'ts” violators lacking respect for traffic laws and for laws in general.
Judge Ravella and Judge Wells agreed that categorizing violators in this manner gives the judge a better opportunity to decide on the most effective form of correction and education — whether it be a fine or jail sentence, revoking or suspension of the license or the sentencing of the offender to a driver educational school.
