ASSC to Initiate
Orientation Plan
By RICk BUTLER
Foreign students, so long ignored on campus, may well have wondered if anyone is in- j teres ted in them as part of the I
student body.
At least one group is.
The ASSC's Foreign Student Committee, headed by Swedish dudent Tomas Bergendal. is new at work on a 10-point plan designed to bring international students into the mainstream of campus life.
The committee is discussing j orientation programs, fraterni- 1
Troy Campers Draw Blank In Fund Drive
The Troy Camp Committee retold its same sad story yesterday — no money.
For the fourth consecutive day, not counting the local NROTC unit's early donation of $50, the committee that is gunning for ; $4,000 by tomorrow came up with a blank. However, promises, or ‘pledges,’ came from Alpha Phi for $90 and Phi Gamma Delta for $25. Donations and pledges amounting to $3,835 must come in today and tomorrow if the Troy Camp goal is to be reached.
Still Hoping
Despite lack of response, the committee is still optimistic. Chairman Faye Henderson expressed hope that pledge cards, which were sent to social and professional fraternities and other campus organizations, would be received shortly.
Drive leaders are also counting on students to contribute at least $600 in the rooting section at tomorrow’6 football game.
Troy Camp is a financially independent operation, with all funds coming from donations of students and administrators. The camp is operated completely by students who act as managers and counselors without pay during the week-long period.
Camp Activities
The underprivileged children, all between the ages cf 8 and 12, are able to participate in activities such as hiking, swimming, riding, games and devotions at the Idyllwild camp.
The children are chosen from districts which cannot supply a well-rounded environment for its youthful inhabitants. They are children who, due to parental financial conditions, would not be able to spend the week out-of-doors without the help of Troy Camp.
Melon Dig' To Be Held After Came
Fcur thousand pounds of watermelons will be given away tomorrow when Chi Phi fraternity stages its 17th annual “Watermelon Dig” following the USC-Iilineis football game.
T" o Tons
Two tons of watermelons have been nurchased for the occasion, according to John Stephenson, Chi Phi president.
Highl:ght of the all-university party, scheduled to last from 4:39 to 9 p.m.. will be the crowning of the 1961 Chi Phi queen.
The "dig” was cancelled last year because of a student riot In 1959.
Robert Q. Lewis, radio and television personality, will be on hand to announce the winner, who will be crowned by Tc-1! Monteleone. 1939 Chi Phi queen.
Music for the street d?nce will be supplied by Wayne Whittier's Sextet.
F ve Finalists
Last night, Chi Phi members voted on the five finalists, selected from a field cf 20 candidates.
Among the finalists are Jane Gordon. University Hall and Delta Gamma; E?v Wilson, Harris Plaza; Cockle Mclnnis, Kappa Ksopa Gamma; Lynn Fra-tu«. Kappa Alpha Theta; and Jill Carlscn. Pi Beta Phi.
The winner will receive a large perpetual trophy and all five women will be awarded small individual trophies.
ty rushing and participation in student government as possible ways of helping to integrate the foreign students.
Results won’t be measured in j terms of weeks or months, since j the plans are designed for a long - range improvement of the j situation, Bergendal explained.
Need Plans
“You just can’t put 1,200 students into activities without planning,” he said.
The committee sees its job as helping to erase the “ugly American’’ image sensed at USC by many foreign students.
“While we still have many foreign students returning home embittered with th“ir experience in this country, people are beginning to realize and talk about these problems. This is a very good sign,” he said.
10 Solutions
The 10 solutions being considered by the committee indicate how deep the gulf seems to be and at least several alternatives for bridging it.
For example, rm orientation program for incoming foreign students, with detailed information of American student life and customs is one of the primary topics under discussion. Coupled with the orientation period would be the possibility of giving fore'gn students the opportunity to spend a few days in an American home living with an American student.
Information Packet
Before leaving their home countries, the students would receive a n information packet including explanations of housing. transportation, dress and social habits at USC. Each student would also be met at the airport when he arrives by an American student who would act as his guide, or big brother, during his first few days at the
university.
Bergendal considers student government and sports as areas where foreign students could easily fit in with Americans. He suggested the possibility c,: a foreign students team which might challenge the football squad to a soccor match. Many foreign students are excellent soccor players, but American football is not played on other continents, he noted.
Student Speakers
Regular apearances of fo-eign student speakers at fraternity and sorority dinners are also under consideration by the committee. The speakers con Id explain their country’s aims and living conditions, customs and habits. Bergendal said the speakers would also help arouse American interest in foreign students, at the same tim-* that foreign students would be learning about the Row.
Rushing by foreign students is also listed on the 10-point ^lan. While many foreign students would not b? able to afford fraternity expenses, rushing would give them a chance to meet many Americans and satisfy their curiosity about the fraternity and sorority systems, Bergendal said.
“I'm sure socially acceptable foreign students would have a very -fair rush on the Row,”
I Curran said. “Most houses, I

Bruin Parade 'Fizzles Out'
UCLA Is through. Yep, you heard right, that university with so-ooo much of everything — scholars, facilities, taxes ($) and SPIRIT — has cancelled its homecoming parade.
Why? School officials say because “student interest has disappeared.”
The Associated Students board of control decided it wasn’t worth the effort. Its reason — finances. Student body funds were reduced a third to help support the ailing athletic budget.
Ailing buduet means ailing team, or so. they say.
Theologians To Be Hosted By University
By PONCHITTA PIERCE
It has been said that we understand people best when we understand what they believe.
With the understanding of American religious beliefs as their goal, 11 Japanese spiritual leaders will visit USC Monday as part of a month-long religious tour of the United States.
Arriving in Los Angeles today, the religious leaders will appear in a panel discussion on “Religious Understanding; East and West" Monday at 2:15 p.m. in 225 FH.
First Group
The group, invited to the United States by Iowa State University, is the first Japanese interfaith gi’oup to visit outstanding centers and universities in America.
“The story of religion in America, the emphasis of religion on campuses and the place of the School of Religion in inter-religious relations will be carried back to the people of Japan by these men,” tour host Dr. Marcus Bach, director of special projects for the Iowa School of Religion, said.
Dr. Bach said he also hoped that the men will gain a firsthand appraisal of the part religion plays in American life.
Tour Party
Members of the tour party, representing Shinto, Buddhist, ncn-Sectarian, Protestant and Roman Catholic faiths, include the Rev. Toshio Miyake, chief priest of Izuo Konkokyo; Kozo Niwa, director cf Seikei Gakuin University; the Rev. Johkai Ka-mcmiya, research head of doctrine, Rissho Koseikai; and the Rev. Masatoshi Kusunoki, executive secretary of the Union of New Religious Organizations of Japan.
Other members in the party include Tenko Nishida, founder and director of Itto En; Colbert N. Kurokawa, authority on Japanese religious culture and interpreter; S h i g e o Sakurai, president of the Omoto School of Doctrine; and the Rev. Minoru Okado, chief priest in the Shinto faith.
Other Members
Completing the party are the Rev. Yasuo Shinoda, vice chief priest at the Atsuta Shrine, Nagoya; the Rev. Jindo Ohmura, secretary general of the All-Japan Buddhist Federation; and Yeiyu Takatsuji, chief priest Myoyuji, Honpa-Hongami.
Speaker Says Israel Faces Race Problem
By SUE BERNARD
Israel is currently confronting problems that are making it the “laboratory of the next century,” an Israeli statesman told students yesterday.
Speaking at a meeting sponsored by the Graduate School of Religion, Dr. Nathan Andre Chouraqui, counselor to Israeli Prime Minister Ben-Gurion on the absorption and integration of Jewish refugees in Israel, claimed that the new' nation is synthesizing the world’s future problems.
The problem Israel faces in creating a uni ed culture out of diverse elements is the same problem the modern worldd will be facing in trying to build a new' “cosmic civilization,” Dr. Chouraqui said.
“One third of the Israeli populations is Jewish immigrants from Christian countries, one-thlrd is Jews from Moslem areas and one-third is Jews of Asian and African descent,” he explained.
“We are facing the challenge of making these people fronuall parts of the world, from all cultures and even from all ages in history work and act as one,’’ Dr. Chouraqui said.
Many of the Jewish immigrants resemble a ressurection of the dead, he pointed out.
Biblical Life
“The Yemenite desert Jews lead a patriarchal life, living much the same way Abraham and the Biblical personages did," he noted. “North African Jews live much the same way as they did in the 10th century and the Polish immigrants have the customs and traditions of the 16th century.”
’ From 50 .to 60 per cent of the immigrants in the last 15 years have been from Asia and Africa and come from a very low level of life, wih no education or technical possibilities,” he said. “These people have to be given everything.”
The solution to integrating these peoples lies in the Biblical command “Love- thy neighbor," Dr. Chouraqui claimed.
“If man can realize that the whole world is his neighbor, he can finally create a society of beauty, justice, love and fraternity. Israel is the center of this message,” he said.
Africa Panel Will Confer
The term “the continent of tomorrow” and its meaning to the emerging African states will be the topic of a panel of African students tonight at 8.
The discussion is being sponsored by the Intercultural dub and will be held in the Latter Day Saints Institute of Religion, 1002 W. 36th St.
The film “Africa is My Home” will be shown following the discussion.
Earle E. Seaton, graduate student in international relations, will moderate the five-man panel, which will discuss African problems in obtaining independence, racial conflicts, the Algerian problem and the Congo.
Field Narrows to 24 in Helen Competition
Contestants to Enter Third Bout Tuesday
Daily Trojan Photo by Frank L. Kaplan CAREER DAYS — Third annual Career Days, sponsored by the U.S. Government, will be held on campus today. Shown participating in a recent tour, prior to the career event, are (l-r) Mrs. Pat Madachs; W. I. Bury, FAA recruiting representative; and Gil Garcetti, AAAS president. The tour was at Los Angeles International Airport.
Government to Hold Careers Day at USC
The third annual Federal Careers Day will be held today for students interested in working for the nation's largest employer, the U.S. government.
Representatives of federal agencies, experienced in career counseling, will be at the Vocational Placement Bureau, 3460 University avenue, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. No appointments are necessary.
All Students Welcome
“Students in any class or major are welcome,” said Frank Mason, chairman for the career day committee and Los Angeles social security district manager.
“We hope to attract many career-minded students and acquaint them with the wide range of occupational interests offered by the U.S. Federal Civil Service,” he said.
»
Nineteen federal representatives will interview students seeking summer or permanent jobs and will outline the positions available, promotion programs and desired qualifications.
Careers in medicine, accounting and finance, engineering and physical sciences will be discussed by the government specialists.
Law Enforcement
Students interested in law enforcement opportunities can talk to representatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Immigration and Naturalization agency.
Harry Clary of the Bureau of Customs will provide information about summer employment with the government, and there
will be two counselors for women’s careers.
Civil Service Commission members will also be on hand to give information on management and administration jobs.
A USC senior in history who found a summer job through last year’s recruitment program says that he is now considering a permanent government career.
“Here was a position which three months earlier I did not know existed,” said Ed Frey. “After passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and an oral interview, I was appointed as student assistant in social insurance. On-the-job training is invaluable.”
Crill Dance To Swing'
A “Jam Session” will be held in the Grill tomorrow afternoon from 4 to 6:30 following the USC-Illinois football game. The dance will be open free to all students.
Purpose of the Jam Session, sponsored by the Inter-Dorm Council, is to further Trojan spirit, Jeanne Hoy, president of the Inter-Dorm Council, said.
The Inter-Dorm Council, under the supervision of Elwyn Brooks, director of housing, is made up of the presidents of all 10 dorms.
The purpose of the council, which earlier sponsored the Iowa Corn Stomp dance in the Quad, is to plan inter-dorm functions for the student body.
Student Tells of Hungarian Revolt
By FRANK L. KAPLAN
The Hungarian Revolution burst into flames five years ago this week. The Russians took less than three weeks to extinguish it with brutal force, but a spark of hope still burns, a young Hungarian-born USC student said.
A petition is in circulation with a goal of 10 million signatures. When completed, it will be presented to the United Nations, Zoltan A. Tokes reported.
The petition demands that the proposition made by the United Nations on Oct. 23, 1956 be carried out. Points included in that proposition were: that all Soviet
1	loops be withdrawn from Hungary; that the people get the right of self-determination and that free elections be held under international control.
Tokes. a junior majoring in biochemistry, was in Hungary throughout the revolution. He was not a freedom fighter and says he seeks no glory or pity.
However, he feels that reasons tor the present fight and facts about the revolt should be pointed out.
“Hungarians who escaped during or after the revolution should not receive credit, Tokes remarked. “The glory should be saved for those whose eyes were closed during that time, and those who remain in prison.”
After World W:ar II, Hungarians could not imagine that their country' would become a communist state, because in 1946 the government was only about
2	per cent communist, he pointed out. But this 2 per cent infiltrated top positions and in 1948 completely took over.
Soon the AVO (secret police) began depriving people of the rights — which then were and still are in the constitution—and Hungary became a slave state, he added.
The Tokes family was deported in 1951 to a rural tow'n from their Budapest home, because,
according to state officials, members' of the family were not “reliable people.” The only explanation given was that some 50 years ago a member of the family fought against the Russian army. _
“Thousands were deported in this manner, and some were taken away never to be seen again," the young student remarked. “The few that did come back wrere mental and physical ruins, due to tortures and cruelty they experienced in communist prisons.”
The standard of living was on the level of mere existance, and the constant worry of the people wras “what are we going to eat next,” Tokes said. “Meat, for instance, was a great luxury.” The government, which hoarded must of the food for export to Russia, justified the action by saying that food had to be stored and kept away from the possibility of an imperialistic attack, he recalled. Naturally, the food
was used to help feed the Soviet Army.
Living conditions were so poor that the five members of his family had to live in one room, which served as the bedroom, kitchen, dining room, living room and washroom.
“But during all this misery, the newspapers continued to say that Hungary had never had it so good. By using films of American slum areas and workers’ strikes, the Hungarian government tried to show that workers were rebelling against the imperialistic United States" Tokes said.
But even with all this propaganda thrown at them, the Hungarian workers and university students were not misled. They saw the difference between their situation and that of Poland and Yugoslavia, and a general unrest began .to grow among the people.
“Generally, the people began to get so sick of the ‘workers’
paradise,’ they wanted to throw it up,” Tokes explained.
Soon, meetings were being held in spite of the secret police, and a 16-point list of demands, calling for reforms in all phases of Hungarian life, w'as written.
A significant meeting of students and workers took place on Oct. 23, 1956, and for the first time since after World W'ar II, the people did something of their own free will, Tokes pointed out. They read nationalistic poetry and sang the Hungarian national anthem as they walked in the streets of Budapest.
Their main desire was to have the list of 16 points read over the radio, but as an answer the marchers received bullets from the guns of the AVO, he said.
“This served as gasoline would on a fire, and the revolt broke out,” Tokes added. “It was not started by Nazis or other pressure groups, as might be believed. It was a national reac-(Continued on Page 2)

Prison Chief Blasts Judges At Law Meet
The inconsistency of federal judges in sentencing criminals was deplored last night by James V. Bennett, director 'of the Federal Bureau of Prisons for the past 24 years.
Federal judges also differ greatly in the way they use probation, Bennett told 215 attorneys and judges attending the fifth annual formal dinner of Legion Lex, support group for the School of Law: The dinner was given at the California Club by President Topping and the board of trustees.
Judges to Meet
“Congress recently authorized federal judges to hold a series of meetings in all parts of the nation to deal with the problem of inconsistent sentencing,” he said.
“Until federal courts give nearly the same prison terms for similar crimes, Bennett said, wardens in federal prisons will continue to have a hard time explaining the justice of the situation to inmates. The same condition also exists in state courts and prisons,” he pointed out.
“The man who usually gets off with the lightest sentence is the one usually in need of th* discipline of an institution.” Bennett said.
War Record
“He is the young person with a n engaging personality, a cheerful alibi and a weeping and attractive wife to stand beside him.” he remarked.
“W i t h not a few courts it helps a great deal if the offender has a spectacular war record, and with some judges I know if he has a decoration of some kind he is pretty apt to go scot-free.
“If criminals are to be understood and if sensible disposition is to be made if their cases,” Bennett said. “I am convinced that lawyers must have broader training in sociology, psychology, psychiatry and the other behavioral sciences.” Prison Sentences
The time served by all persons sentenced to pnson ranges from an average of 17 months in Vermont to 40 months in Illinois, he reported.
“In California, the actual time served by persons committed to prison is 32 months, which is considerably longer than in many states where definite sentences are pronounced by judges,” he noted. ‘Those convicted of homicide, for *n-stance, serve less than three years in Texas but average more than 15 years in Illinois.”
