FILM DRIVE — One of three former USC students, to be shown in an IR-sponsored fiim of USIA work, Rex. L. Baer, is shown here with (l-r) a Colombian employe, Mrs. Freeman and Fulton Freeman, U.S. Ambassador to Colombia.
IR Croup Drive for
A campus-wide drive by the School of International Relations for contributions to a film on the work of three USC graduates in different fields of foreign service will start today.
Donations Needed
IR students plan to raise part of the money themselves through donations. Thirty of the 190 undergraduates have been issued serialized envelopes to use in the collection of the money. Students have already collected $250 toward the goal.
“We hope the film will counteract some of the impressions given by ‘The Ugly American’,” said Pete Burrows, president of the IR student body.
Features Graduates
The 30-minute film will fea-1 ture Steve Gibson, who is with the foreign service in Tijuana, Mexico; Rex Bear, who is with the United States Information Agency in Bogota, Colombia; and John Hughes, a representative cf the International Cooperation Administration in Liberia.
Bear recently was issued an award by Edward R. Murrow, head of USIA. for his outstanding work. The award was presented by Fulton Freeman.
to Begin Funds
United States ambassador to Colombia.
Hughes is teaching in a school he is building by himself in'Liberia. The Tijuana post is Gibsons first appointment, and the film will be titled “Gibson's First Post” in his honor.
The film will be of value to high school students interested in international relations, IR alumni and for general university promotion, Burrows said.
Joint Project Plans for the film were announced three weeks ago by Dr. Ross N. Berkes, director of the IR school. It will be produced in cooperation with the USC cinema department.
The idea fcr the film originated with Dr. Berks and the IR council. It will be explained in detail in the IR newsletter to students and parents Burrows revealed. Information on the project will also be posted on bulletin beards in Founders Hall and in the World Affairs Library.
“We feel that the project is worthy of the interest and support cf IR students and the university," Burrows said. “We hope everyone will get behind this drive.’’
Faculty to Get Grants For Cancer Research
Grants up to nearly $2,000 ar«j available to faculty members in all departments of the university for cancer researcn projects, I/r. Jesse L. Steinfeld announced yesterday.

Rebel Makes Literary Hit, Forum Learns
By JERRY WILCOX
Despite criticism of the literary rebel, there is a place for him in philosophy and literature, a San Diego Strte College assistant professor of English told the Philosophy Forum yesterday.
Dr. Kingsley Widmer, giest speaker in the third lecture of the ourrent series, scad that the rebel “does serve a dialectal function.”
“In short, there is some wisdom in that waywardness.” he explained.
Dr. Widmer described the “distinct type” of the literary rebel as one whose art is harsh, peculiar, perverse and outrageous.
“The rebal's birth of an idea requites sex, blood and pain,” he noted.
Rebel Image
Dr. Widmer sketched an image of his littrar- rebel. Physically, he has long hair and a beard. His language is cf distorted words, i violation of geniality and discord.
“There are many types of rebels,” Dr. Widmer declared. “These include the unemployed and the leisure cl as;; who spend their time in speculation.”
Our literary culture has been fundamentally disrupted for several generations and we have come to expect rebellion and a negative image of the world,” the San Diego professor said.
Cynic to ‘Beat’
Dr. Widmer traced the pattern of the rebel from the cynic to the present day “beat.” He called Diogenese, leader of the cynics, the “first cool cat in society.”
“The literary rebels of ancient Greece were ude antagonistic and outspoken,” he noted.
“Modem rebels draw heavily upon heritage in the Bohemian mode,” he continued. “They are philosophers on the conduct of life and are more sophisticated.”
He said that the rebel wants to slip out of society rather than overthrow it, as some pecple believe.
“He makes criticisms of society and dramatizes revolt with a collective purpose,” Dr. Widmer explained.
Shows Civilization
“Official society condemns the literary rebel as irresponsible and perverse.” he said. “But his significance is in the way he shows the lir. itations cf high civilization.”
Although critics say that the literary rebels are non-productive, Dr. Widmer claimed that the rebels are actually too productive. They* provide “lewd” forms on practically all phases of life, he said.
The mockery of the rebels is one way of exnressing and meeting the difficulties of society, he added.
‘""he rebel acts as an unoffi-c'~l tcacher,” he said. “He falls into repetition and professional self - pity ani shows a contempt for official teachers.”
While philosophers call the works of literary rebels, “the poet's philosophy,” poets cal. it just “philosophy,” Dr. Widmer explained.
“Negation is a major function of the rebel. He finds delight in quasi - scientific vorks and his own works reveal bitterness and melancholy,” he said.
Helen of Troy Field Shrinks To 44 in Preliminary Round
TRAFFIC CONTROL — A tour of the traffic control center offered (r) Mrs. Pat Madachs and (I) Gil Garcetti a bird's eye view of air traffic safety measures taken by an
operator at the> L.A. International Airport. W. I. Bury, FAA recruitment representative watches in back. The tour-was made in conjunction with Federal Career Day.
Civil Service Tour Group Views Air Traffic Control
A group of university representatives yesterday visited centers of air safety control at the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) and the Los Angeles International Airport.
The tour was made in connection with Federal Career Day, which will be held on campus Friday.
The FAA, which is responsible for military and commercial air traffic control throughout the United States, is one of many' agencies of the Federal stored for at least 30 days. In
Police Catch Permit Thief
Campus police have recovered o i e of seven missing parking permits, Chief Victor Sargent announced yesterday.
The campus police chief said that a student war caught after he used the permit to get into the parking area. He was noticed because h~ put the permit cut of sight after parking. Chief Sargent reported.
He said that the suspect had been turned over to the dean of students for proper disciplinary action.
Chief Sargent blamed the large amount of stolen permits on faulty mounting. He said that many permits were being mounted by tape.
He recommended that students who have not mounted permits according to instructions do so. Instructions are printed on the back of the permits.
Civil Service with openings for students.
The group — consisting of Professor David Halliday, USC Aviation and Missile Division; Gil Garcetti, AMS president; and Mrs. Pat Madachs, Social Service Career Day Committee representative — had the opportunity to witness traffic control stations in operation.
The group also visited an air surveilance radar station, which relays information to Los Angeles International Airport.
W. I Burry, FAA recruitment placement representative, served as guide during the afternoon, which also provided a glimpse of the new United Airlines terminal.
“The FAA is responsible for military and commercial air traffic safety,” Burry explained.
“One of the means of carrying out this mission is through the regulation of a complex web of federal equipment at ground stations throughout the United States,” he said.
Flight operations begin when the pilot files a flight plan through the FAA Flight Service Station, Burry pointed out. The plan is then passed to the Air Traffic Control Tower which in turn sends it to the Air Route Traffic Control Center and all en route centers.
All filghts are kept in surveilance by radar and radio contact throughout the entire flight, he noted.
The group learned that all conversations between pilots and ground personnel were taped and case of any question or air traf-
fic accident, these tapes provide valuable information to investigators and FAA representatives.
There is a great need for civil and electronic engineers and electronic technicians in the FAA service,'Burry declared.
Most of the engineers are recruited from universities and colleges upon graduation, he said. Electronic technicians are recruited from the military services after discharge and some trainees are accepted from junior college.

Hitchhikers Dupe Russian Hosts
By ARLINE KAPLAN
A USC alumnus and a friend managed to untangle themselves from Soviet red tape and to completely dupe Russian officials for nearly two weeks while on a hitchhiking tour of the U.S.S.R. last summer.
Jerry Poe. a 1960 graduate frcm the School of International Relations speaking to IR students recently, related how he and Tony Dann “camped out" in the U.S.S.R. without the necessary credentials. Finally, on the outskirts of Moscow, they were detected and attempted to talk their way out.
A^ide from the red tape, Poe said, he found the Russian people friendly and curious about controversial issues, such as segregation, which confront the
United States.
Poe attempted to earn his
passage overseas by parading around Times Square, Broadway and Radio City in New York carrying a 40-pound pack and a sign in yellow and black letters. “L.A. student on Way to Europe.”
As a result, he appeared on a morning quiz show and was offered a job as bartender on the SS United States.
The two American students disembarked at Le H a r v e, France and made their way to Copenhagen, Denmark. ~ However, their camping permits became overdue, and they were informed that hitchhiking by foreigners is illegal in the Soviet Union.
“When we arrived at the So-viet-Finnish border, we attempted to walk across but were told to find some public means
of transportation,” Poe said.
With the help of a Finnish student, the travelers associated themselves with a Finnish Bus Tour. They were able to board the bus with a stipulation from the bus driver, that ‘Jif anything happens, I do not know you.”
“When we arrived at the Soviet check point, we were not allowed to take photographs or to get off the bus,” Poe reported. “Two officials took our passports, returned in 30 minutes and passed out each one separately.
“In the inspection room, everyone’s luggage was searched with a fine-tooth comb except ours — we were amazed,” he continued.
At the checkpoint they were asked to relinquish their camping permits in exchange for vouchers, which are used to gain
entrance into a campground.
“Our camping permits were
already expired, and we did not surrender them. We continued our journey and camped about five times before reaching the outskirts of Moscow,” Pee said. “No one asked us for the vouchers.”
There was no difficulty until they reached a campground near Moscow. There, an official demanded to see the vouchers which they could net produce. They were sent to the Intourist travel bureau, an official Soviet agency.
“At the bureau an official couldn’t believe our story for at least 10 minute ,’’ Poe noted. “When b.3 told us we could not stay, I became tactfully irate, and the official went to check with his supervisor.
“He returned and said that all he could do was to credit the camping permits against a hotel bill. We received first-class accommodations for a dollar a day.”
As they travelled throughout Russia. Poe and Dann were quickly recognized as Americans.
“I felt like the Pied Piper,” Poe said. “We were greeted first by Russian students, and after we had taken a few steps, we were surrounded by 30 to 50 people. We were questioned on every’ disputable issue. We could not avoid the questions or we would have simply verified what the people had been told.
“What ini ere-ted me greatly” Poe noted, “was that religion in ihe Soviet Union still functions; but it functions only for a day when it will ultimately die out.” (Continued on Page 3)
