Olin Official Will Speak
Dr. Charles L. Horn, attorney and president of the Olin Foundation, will give a public lecture tonight at 8 in 129 FH.
“A Layman Looks at Old Testament History” will be the topic for his lecture, which is being sponsored by the Graduate School of Religion.
Dr. Horn and other officials from *the Olin Foundation will participate in ground breaking ceremonies tomorrow after-noon for the $2.2 million Olin Hall of Engineering, a five-story teaching and research building donated by the foundation last October.
Speaking at an open meeting of the Trojan Young Republicans, Christopher said the state was rife with “waste and patronage.”
He cited the 50 new state bureaus created in the past three years as examples of unnecessary expenditures.
‘Taxes have increased more than $800 million in the past three years, and new bond is sues totaling $820 million have been proposed,” he asserted.
Places Blame The mayor placed much of the blame on State Director of Finance Hale Champion, who, he claimed., got his position “not on experience in fi nancial affairs, but by virtue of his ability to cope with words.’*
Christopher claimed former press agent Champion’s budget, which the administration said was balanced, will be balanced only by the use of reserve funds, savings and bar-rowing.
“This is not fiscal responsibility,” the mayor asserted. "Fiscal responsibility is achieved only by restricting unnecessary expenditures.
“Champion acknowledges higher taxes may be necessary to pay for the administration's programs, but he claims it is because of fluctuations in the earnings of our free enterprise system,” he added.
Bigger Spending This is false; the only cause is bigger spending.” Favoring a general lowering of taxes, Christopher said many industries and businesses are leaving the state or are afraid to come in because of the high corporation taxes.
“Our state has the highest corporate taxes in the nation,” he claimed.
The Northern mayor asked for the entire state budget to be combed and unnecessary spending weeded out before the people are obligated to finance more “wasteful administration programs.’'
As an example of waste he cited Governor Brown’s 12 press secretaries.
“This is more than any governor has ever had, or for that matter, more than President Kennedy has,” he said.
Senate to Honor Jesse Mortensen

The first orbit of an American around the wrorld generat ed student excitement equal to the national furor, an informal campus poll showed yesterday, although deep-seated concern over its implications were also indicated.
The poll revealed that many students followed the four-hour, 58-minute flight of Marine Lt. Col. John Glenn on television and radio.
The majority of students questioned said they felt the flight wrould raise the prestige of the United States in the eyes of people abroad.
Open Manner
Students questioned were particularly impressed by the completely open manner in which the shot w'as made.
Stan Caldwell, son of associate history professor Dr. Russell L. Caldwall, echoed many student’s feeling when he said we took a hell of a chance.”
He based his assumption on the tremendous coverage of the event.
“Oh, I almost forgot,” Caldwell said.” Glenn took quite a chance, too.”
On Publicity
“The publicity we got compared to Russian publicity is an important matter,” Jim West, senior in finance, noted. “Glenn’s flight was followed anything had gone WTOng it wrould have been a real blow to American prestige.
“Luckily things went OK,” he continued. “Our achievement was probably more authentic than Russia’s, since no one knew theirs was a success until it was practically over.”
Maryalice Herrick, ASSC secretary and a senior in international relations, was among those who questioned the flight’s true value.
“Sure it’s great for science and prestige,” she said. But morale created by this sort of thing is not always good.
Although we are constantly pitted against the Soviet Union, ideally, our successes should be theirs, too. she felt.
Mike Sedgwick, a sopho-more in business, thought Glenn’s flight was a big boost for American relations abroad.
“Russia sure was Interested,” he added. “They broadcasted the entire trip.”
One student jokingly referred to Glenn’s flight as “The only way to fly,” while anoth-e r undergraduate predicted there will soon be “a rocket in every pocket.”
Glenn’s long-delayed flight was finally made after nearly a month of delays. The actual countdown was delayed three times by technical difficulties.
When the “Friendship 7” finally got off the ground it was nearly two hours behind schedule.
Arts Head To Lecture
USCs newly affiliated 250-acre Idyllwild campus will be discussed by Max Krone, director of the Idyllwild Arts Foundation and professor of music education, today at noon in the Faculty Center.
The Idyllwild Arts Foundation, the School of Music and the Arts and the School of Conservation and Natural Science have existed since 1950, and USC has offered credit for college level courses taken at the institutions.
However, on Feb. 1 trustees of both institutions voted to have the entire San Jacinto Mountain educational program become incorporated into USC.
Researchers Win Grant For Study
An associate professor of petroleum engineering and a graduate student in geology have jointly received a grant of $4,250 from the National Science Foundation.
The grant is to be used for the study of overburden pressure and moisture content of silicic acid, organic colloids and various clays.
Come Yesterday
The announcAnent came yesterday from one of the recipients of the grant, Dr, George V. Chillingar. Herman H. Rieke III will be the other member of the study team.
Dr. Chillingar said that the research gained from the grant wUl help to better understanding of clay behavior under compaction.
“The results of the investigation will prove of value to soil scientists, geologists and petroleum engineers in the predictions of earth movement and soil water content,” geologist Rieke said.
Test Compaction
Dr. Chillingar said that the equipment built with the aid of this grant will be able to test compaction at over 600,-000 pounds per square inch.
“Soils have never before been tested under this amount of pressure,” he said. “The most anyone has ever done has been at about 150,000 pounds, and for this reason we feel we are pioneers in the field."
Dr. Chillingar explained that the current equipment available can, at maximum, only test up to about 200,000 pounds per square inch.
The older equipment was contributed to the university by the American Association of Petroleum Engineers.
Dr. Chillingar noted that at the end of the research period the new equipment will become part of the petroleum engineering department.
Freshman a ass officers, extension of class information available to students, consoli dation of ASSC committees and a bill guaranteeing public attendance at student government meetings.
The class officer bill, offered by N e d Taylor, social studies senator, would provide for the election of a temporary president and vice president of next year’s Freshman Class at the regular elections in March. These officers would serve until new class leaders could be elected in the fall.
Another Bill Another bill, also presented by Taylor, would suggest that professors prepare a syllabus of their courses and file it in the library along with other
class material for the benefit of students.
A third statute calls for the streamlining of the Senate-committee system. It would eliminate the present administrative arm of the Senate that now organizes the committees and replace it with a single person.
The bill would also cut down on the number of committees. Presently there are 19 standing
committees, while the new plan provides for 15.
Senate Review The Senate will reveiw a report of the Student Affairs Committee, which has been investigating a bill to make impossible the closing of meetings involving student government policy making, fund raising and legislative matters, to the general student body.
A bill that would prohibit freshman men students who have not been at USC one semester or who do not possess a 2.5 grade average from pledging fraternities will not be considered at this meeting, Kendall said.
He said the proposal is still under investigation by a committee to which it was referred at the last Senate meeting.
Party Releases Working .Model Of Constitution
By HAL DRAKE Daily Trojan City Editor A working model of a new constitution for the Trojans for Representative Government Party (TRG) was released yesterday by party chairman Dwight Chapin.
The constitution, which will be submitted in its final form to the university for full recognition of the party, was accompanied by a full list of officers of the organization.
TRG, which is running more than 50 candidates under its banner for offices in the spring election, declared its existence last year following a call from President Topping for open political parties.
Semi-Open
The proposed TRG constitution establishes a “semi-open” type of political party in which the active membership' is limited to persons approved by the current membership or invited to join by the Executive Council.
Chairman Chapin, a junioj in political science, said that the limited type of membership selection is necessary for his group’s security.
“With the type of underground political situation that exists on this campus, we would be infiltrated and broken by TNE if we opened our ranks to all students,” Chapin
said.
“For this reason, our constitution stipulates that anyone who has been a member of or received support from any other campus poUtical faction is not eligible for membership,” he added.
Chapin said the underground Theta Nu Epsilon (TNE) was largely responsible for the organization difficulties of the Representation Party when it formed last year.
The TRG chairman explained that at present hi* party calls itself “open” because in contrast to TNE it admits its existence, offers its support to candidates openly and does not keep its membership or leadership secret.
TRG leader Chapin said his

policy to its candidates, but will merely provide a “broad base” of party objectives that the candidates can use in developing their own platforms. Party Goals The present goals of TRG, he said, are:
1.	“To develop representation for all USC students without regard to selfish ambitions.
2.	‘To realistically relate the concerns of all students into political action in student affairs.
3.	“To develop harmony between the academic departments and the students outside of the classroom.
4.	“To achieve more political representation for foreign students.
5.	“To offer candidates who have not been affiliated with any other political organization on the campus.
6.	‘To make government more student-centered and work for a larger variety in its officers- instead of maintaining the favored group system of the past.”
★ ★ ★ Election Meet Analyze Vote Dispute
By DA\ SMITH
Senate Reporter
A second meeting for all candidates for ASSC and field-of-study offices has been scheduled for Friday at 2:15 p.m. in the Senate Chambers, 301 SU, to discuss a possible solution to the controversy over using fee bills for voter identification.
Both Election Commissioner John Moyer and ASSC President Hugh Helm refused to release the proposed solution, upon which all four candidates were said to have reached agreement during a private meeting yesterday.
New Candidates
Just preceeding the private conference, two students announced themselves as write-in candidates and a protest was fUed against several candidates for biological sciences senators.
Leigh Hoven will be a candidate for social studies president and Stanley B. Widre will run for pharmacy senator.
Unless there are other write-in candidates for these offices, both are almost sure to win. So far Miss Hoven is unopposed, and there is only one other candidate announced for pharmacy senator where two seats are open.
Protest Lodged
The protest against the biological sciences senatorial
organization will not dictate candidates was lodged because
they did not meet the requirement’ in their department’s constitution requiring that its senators must have served an the field’s council this year. The names of the candidate* in question haven’t been released.
The fee bill problem w'as originally brought to light when AS SC presidential candidate Mike Robinson angrily complained that the fee bill plan wasn’t fair to qualified voters who had lost their fee bills. He backed up this view with a poll which he called “admittedly informal.”
The presidential candidates G i 1 Garcetti, Bart Leddel, Dann Moss and Robinson-met twice earlier this week with Moyer to consider the fee bill problem. At Monday’s meeting no agreement was reached but each candidate presented his view.
It was after yesterday’s conference that Moyer said an agreement had been reachod between his committee and the four candidates.
Animals Will Sniff L. A. Smog
A new one-story building on the Medical School campus has been made the headquarters for the newest and most comprehensive assault on smog yet developed by science.
The program, a long-term’Air Pollution Animal Exposure Study, will involve thousands of small animals put at various locations throughout the city whose only job will be to sniff Los Angeles air.
Started with grants from the U. S. Public Health Service, the program is officially under w£y at sites in Los Angeles, Burbank and Azusa, President Topping announced yesterday.
A fourth testing site is scheduled to be erected later this Spring between the inbound and outbound Hollywood Freeway lanes near Vermont Ave.
The variety of locations is necessary to get a broad sampling of Los Angeles air that can be found in specific locations throughout the city.
Directing the program, which has been estimated to last a minimum four to five years, will be Dr. Leslie A. Chambers, director of the Allan Hancock Foundation. Dr. Clayton G. Loosli, dean of the School of Medicine, will be deputy director.
Some 6,000 animals — rats from Boston, mice from Texas, guinea pigs from Maryland and hamsters and rabbits from Northern California— will be involved in the studies.
Half of the animals to be used In the testing will be breathing raw Los Angeles air, while the other half will live in a controlled environment in
