Free Speech “We should allow free speech to others who would not allow it to us if they were in power-provided that they do not advocate illegal action for changes in the state,” Dr. Ewing added. Totalitarian claim that speech should be subject to close supervision by government since the individual has only one right—to do and suffer for the state, he said. “The difference between the United States and Russia is not one of principle, but only a matter of degree,” the Cambridge professor explained. “The Russians say speech should be limited and we say it should be limited slightly.” Freedom Control Dr. Ewing said that certain rights in this country actually give a person the power to control the freedom of others. He cited the right cf property as also being the right to command the labor of others and to control them. Although he denied that he was advocating socialism or any great state control of industry, Dr. Ewing said that some of these rights should be subject to limitations. Dr. Ewing noted that the tn talitarians claim in their argument against democracy that experts are better at deciding policy matters than the majority. “To have our end determined by policy makers is slavery,’’ Dr. Ewing said. Enrollment Ceiling To Raise Standards (Editor’s Note: This is the fourth in a series of eight weekly articles on the Master Plan. In future articles the Daily Trojan will discuss plans 20,000 students, the more selective we become and the higher enrollment qualifications become,” he said. “We could double enrollment for graduate and faculty en- figures by the 197oSi if the riehment, student housing and present screening system were fund raising.) By KEN INOUYE Managing Editor The Master Plan ■will increase selectivity in all phases of academic pursuit. By its very nature, the Master Plan will affect, in varying degrees, admission standards, the honors programs, interdisciplinary studies, the curricula and scholarships . nd fellowships. As defined by President Topping last May, the Master Plan calls for limiting enrollment figures. This has been set at 20,000 students, or an increase of only 25 per cent. The Master Plan calls for increasing the number of graduate students to 50 per cent of the student body, or to 10,000. Curricula Expansion The Master Plan also calls for a curricula and program expansion in areas which arc most beneficial to community, state and national interest. Because the Master Plan has set a limit to total enrollment, admission standards will be raised proportionally to the demand, Edward K. Steinbaugh, director of admissions, said. ‘Admission standards have always gone up. It reflects the rising number of university applicants, since selectivity also rises along with demand,” Steinbaugh said. “As the total enrollment nears the maximum number to be used.” The honors programs will also feel the effects of the Master Plan. With the projected university enrollment set at 20,000 and graduate students expected to reach half that total, there will be no appreciable increase in the number of undergraduates, Dr. Donald E. Queller, honors coordinator and associate professor of history, said. A goal of 500 students in the honors program was arrived at by the honors coordinator. Presently, the honors program has enrolled 167 students for the fall semester, he said. “We believe the honors programs are the heart of the Master Plan,” Dr. Queller said. “It will attract more qualified students and will cause students thinking of transferring to remain at USC.” One of the several major ad vantages of the honors programs is that the student m?y take up to 30 units of courses by examination, thereby cutting h i s graduating time by one year. High school students can take honors courses dur ing their last semester of high school or during the summer after graduation. To do so would enable high school students to gain an ad %’anced standing and placemen when they enroll in the univer sity. Dr. Queller said.

In 1951, he won a Reid Foundation fellowship for study in the Middle East as one of five outstanding young U.S. newsmen. During World War IT, he served in the Pacific on the staffs of Admirals NImitz and Halsy. He currently holds the rank of Captain, U.S.N.R. Since 1954 he has been with the L.A.
