ideas,Flans Take Shape At Conference
ASSC leaders started making j plans for the future yes.erday. j rilled with new ideas raised at j the annual Student Government Conference held on campus last weekend.
While their hopes were dimmed slightly by the poor turnout — only 25 students out of an expected 75 showed up — the students were confident nevertheless that their informal nine-hour look at Student government would help improve student activities this year.
Spurred on by ASSC President Hugh Helm, the two dozen-odd senators, Executive Cabinet j members and committeemen eyed cooperation with the Uni-versity Senate — the faculty legislative body — as a chief { avenue for better leadership.
Faculty Guest
University Senate President Robert Craig, a guest at the conference, affirmed the faculty’s interest in student activities.
The students also made plans for improving communications among each other and w ith the general student body.
They cited the need for improvement of academic council leadership and the need for better communication between committees and the Senate, between department heads and the Senate, between student organizations and the Senate and between organizations and committee chairmen.
Suggestions for improvement included monthly ASSC newsletters, circulation of complete minutes and reports among all areas of student government and j establishment of central bulletin beards.
Personal Orientation
Participating students also pointed to the need for personal! orientation of incoming student officers by outgoing leaders and \ expressed hopes that a regular orientation program would be set up.
Senate President pro tem Bob Kendall suggested that revision of the neariy two-year-old constitution might be in order for more effective student government. Senators also suggested (Continued on Page 2)

Army Display Will Educate Men Students
.New methods for preparing recruits for the well - equipped modern army will be the theme of a U. S. Army Recruiting Service Display in front of Bovard Auditorium today.
The Army display will be second in a series of Armed Forces week presentations which are being sponsored by the AMS so that each branch of the service may show students the basic aspects of its program, AMS President Gil Garcetti said.
“We hope this program will let .USC men know where they stand in relation to the draft board and the armed services,” Garcetti explained. “We think men students will be better able to intelligently decide on a way to fulfill their service requirement if they take advantage oi these displays,” he added.
Army Display
The Army display will show the role of logistics in supporting the individual soldier during sustained operations, Lt. Col. Robert O. Thomas, main station commander for Southern California army recruiting,' said.
"To be truly effective in'battle, the soldier—however brave, determined and skilled — must also be well equipped with weapons, ammunition, food, fuel, transport and varied services w'hich will permit him to concentrate all his energies on his combat,” he explained.
Colonel Thomas pointed out that the Technical Services are working to make the American soldier the be_t armed, equipped, fed and clothed, and protected as well as the healthiest of any in the world.
Services Give Mobility
“These services,” he said, “provide mobility and logistical support which give the Army its sustained ground combat power which is a key to the soldier's ability to conduct land campaigns in any- part of the world.”
The Army Recruiting Service will have a representative on duty to answer any questions that students may have in reference to their military obligation.
“Our job is that of a counselor, not a recruiter when we visit educational institutions.” Master Sgt. Brice P. Potthoff, Army campus representative, said.
Ways of Winter Weather Get Stranger Every Year
WHAT'S HAPPENING — They was here, then they was here, now they is Here. Wilted coeds attempt to reduce the effects cf Southern California's dehydrating weather by
filiirg up at the casis. Joe College measures progress.
Weather or not we like it, winter is on its way.
A least that’s what the little old man we’ve got locked up in Bovard Tower tells us.
“When the temperature starts to fall,” he reports, “its safe to report that a change of sea-sens is in order.”
Our Bovard weather watcher reported that the temperature yesterday fell a solid 4 degrees. That, he said, is a significant I all, especially on Bovard Tower.
The U. S. Weather Bureau in Washington D. C. thinks it can account for the almost winter weather.
A massive mound of high pressure which covered the nation brought pleasantly mild temperatures to all but two regions, the Northeast and the South- j east, it said.
The report continued that the forward edge of the high system forced cold air frcm Canada into New England and circulation at the opposite end of the country drew hot air into the Southland.
The Weather Bureau also said that such conditions usually last about six days, that’s two down and four to go. In that time we expect to see more significant signs that winter is on it’s way.
We got our first hint from our Bovard weatherman: prediction is % for today, 92 for tomorrow. That’s pretty significant.

Stop Cap Weekend Dramas Will Feature One Act Plays
An attack on modern education by one of the leading exponents of the new “Theater of the Absurd” will be featured by the drama department as one of four one-act plays to be presented this weekend
“The Lesson,” by Eugene Ionesco, takes a massive swing at the importance of rote learning in -the education process by revealing the pitiful inability of a student cramming to take her exams for the “total doctorate” within two weeks.
Other Plays
The other plays scheduled for tfoe avant garde program, which will open in Stop Gap Theater Thursday night at 8 and will run through Saturday are “Zoo Story” by Edward Albee and “The Love of Don Perlimplin and Belisa in the Garden” by Federico Garcia Lorca.
The West Coast premiere of “The Square” by Marguerite Duras, author of “Hiroshima, Mon Amour,” will also be featured on the program.
Concern for the growing uselessness of language to communicate man’s needs has been a constant theme for Ionesco and other proponents of the absurd theater. Ionesco enlarges on the theme in his “comic drama” to sneer at the lack of basic training in the education process.
Best Words
The student, bsing tutored by a professor who points out that the best words are those “denuded of all sense,” excels in counting up to 10, but gets confused with the mechanics of substracting three from four.
She already has diplomas in the arts and sciences.
After failing at simple subtraction, the professor throws the student a fantastic multiplication problem as an example of the skill she will never achieve. Lmmediatfelv, the student rattles off the answer.
Asljed how site was able to
achieve the correct answer so quickly, the student replies, “It’s easy. Not being able to rely on my reasoning, I’ve memorized all the products of all possible multiplications.”
Comedy bordering on the farcical is Ionesco’s chief means for preparing the audience for his message of the absurd.
Arnold Tamon will play the professor and Pcgo Perotti will play the pupil in the drama, which is being directed by Kitty Farren.
Tickets for the four plays are on sale in the drama office, 3709 S. Hoover St., for $1.
Drama instructor Bill White has reported that seats for the
Friday performance are all sold out, and that only 25 tickets remain for the Thursday and Saturday shows.	,,
He attributed the rapid advance sale to heavy interest in the works cf the modem authors.
White claimed that recent remodeling of Stop Gap Theater is also responsible for the rapid sales, since less seats are now available for each performance.
“These plays are being presented basically for the student body,” White said. “We hope students will buy their tickets early enough to be sure of getting a seat.”
Trio Will Teach In Spring Term
By BARBARA EPSTEIN Daily Trojan Editor
A new era was heralded by the School of Music yesterday with the announcement that world-renowned musicians Jascha Heifetz, Gregor Piatigorsky and William Primrose have joined the faculty of a new division of the
school.
The famed string musicians will begin instruction in the newly established “Institute for Special Musical Studies” during the spring semester. President Topping and Dean Raymond Kendall of the School of Music, announced.
Dean Kendall revealed that the three master players may also be able to present a concert for the university.
“We are hopeful that there will be a chance for them to be heard at least by the campus family,” he said.
Violinist Heifetz, Cellist Piatigorsky and Violist Primrose will each offer master classes for performing students and for a limited number of teacher-students and qualified auditors. Admission to all three categories will be subject to personal audition and approval by each instructor.
In addition to the master classes, chamber music classes with Heifetz, Piatigorsky and Primrose will be offered.
It is anticipated that the Institute faculty will eventually be enlarged to include other world-renowned musicians, including a pianist, a composer and a conductor, Dean Kendall said.
Dr. Topping hailed the addition of Heifetz, Piatigorsky and Primrose to the Music School faculty as “just the start” in the addition of a number of other distinguished faculty to the university.
“This is just the start of whal we hope to bring to our campus in many fields, not just the field of music,” he said.
He pointed out that one of the goals of the university’s Master Plan was the addition of distinguished faculty “to add to the distinguished faculty we now have.”
One of the effects of the famed musical trio’s residence here and the establishment of the Institute for Special Musical Studies will be the “world-wide appeal” of the School of Music, Dr. Topping said.
The School already boasts a preparatory division (precollege) of 6'00 students and a college division serving nearly 400 professional students pursuing studies toward bachelor of music, master of music and doctor of musical arts degrees.
The new Institute will offer no degrees or credit, Dean. Kendall said. While there will be no age limit for applicants general preference will be given to thpse under 25.
Heifetz, Piatigorski and Primrose will be on campus each week to instruct the young musicians who will be studying under them. The three musicians will be searching for the top world talent in the field, Dean Kendall noted.
In a special news conference, Piatigorski, who has toured Europe, Asia and North and South America, pointed out that the cultural center of the world seems to be moving from Europe to the United States.
“The country has developed extraordinarily in the last few years,” he said. “I expect people from Europe to ccme here.”
Bom in the Ukraine, Piatigorsly began his performance career at the age of nine with a tour of Russia. He was principal cellist with the Imperial Theater in Moscow in 1917 and with the Berlin Philharmonic from 1924-28. The famed musician has given recitals with such musical figures as Rachmaninoff, Schnabel and Horowitz and has premiered concerti by Hindemith, Prokofieff, Walton and Castelnuovo-Tedesco.
Heifetz, whose career also began in Russia, has visited every country in the world as a concert violinist and has appeared with several major symphony orchestras. The famed violinist has commissioned many important works, including the Walton Violin Concerto and works by Gruen-berg and Castelnuovo-Tedesco. Before joining the School of Music he taught for three years in the extension division of the music department at UCLA.
Primrose, who was bem in Glasgow, Scotland, has been principal violist for Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra, soloist with the London Symphony, London Philharmonic, Promenade Concerts and the Toronto Symphony. An honorary fellow of the Guildhall School of Music, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1953._
Dean Prods Businessmen
Although the world is in turmoil and we may be on the brink of disaster, American management must not sit idly by waiting for a nuclear war that may never come. Dr. Robert P.. Dockson, dean of the Graduate School of Business Ad-.ministration, told the first session of t h e Managerial Policy Institute last night.
“International and' domestic challenges, only remotely related to war, are all around us,” Dean Dockson said. “Business executives must concentrate on these if the private business system is to make its maximum contribution to a powerful and prosperous world.”
Fifty middle management executives enrolled in the 30-week course heard Dean Dockson’s presentation on “M anpower, Productivity and Economic Growth.”
Harold C. McClellan, president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, was another speaker.
The institute will meet each Monday from 4 to 9:30 p.m., through May 21, with the exception cf a holiday period from Dec. 18 until Jan. 8.
“The potential of the American economy is g r e a t,” Dean Dcekscn said. “We can reach a total output of S825 billion by 1975 compared to a current level of S520 billicn if we are able to keep cur expanding labor force reasonably employed.”
Dean Dockson placed special emphasis on the “if,” saying that it is of greater importance
“than most observers would like
to believ e.”
The “if” factor, Dean Dockson claimed, “deserves the careful study cf business executives who carry the responsibility for employing productively those persons who will be -eeking employment in the years ahead.”
A quick look at what will be happening to the labor force during the decade of the 1960s
points to some«basic problems
that must be faced by American management, he noted.
“The U. S. Department of Labor has estimated that the total labor force in the United States will rise from about 75 million today to 87 million by 1970 and 94 million by 1975,” he noted.
"If this growth takes place, and there is no reason to believe that it will not, it will be the largest increase ever experienced by the United States during any like period."
The increase will have the greatest affect on the age group under 25, Dr. Dockscn stressed, while other age levels will not be touched at ail.
“In 1960 there were 13.8 million workers in the labor force under 25. By 1970 this group will have expanded to over 20 million while the total number of young workers entering the labor force during the decade will exceed 26 million.”
An increase of at least five million workers is also expected in the 45 and over age bracket, while by contract a decline in
the age group of 25 to 44 has been forecast, he said.
The educational make-up of the labor force is another factor of concern with management, as since college and high school enrollments are expected to rise some 70 and 50 per cent respectively in the next decade. Dean Dockson noted.
“Even with this increase in college and high school enrollments. however, it is expected that about 30 per cent of 7.3 million of the young people entering the labor force during the next 10 years will net have completed high school.” he reported.
“Thus, we expect a sizable increase in the number of workers untrained for particular tasks.
Sex distribution of the expanding labor force is another topic of concern for manage-1 ment, he claimed.
“It is expected that the number of female workers will inincrease by about 25 per cent by 1970 while the number of males will go up about 15 per cent, * De^j Dockson sari
