A personal code for student | legislators and politicians was read to members of the Execu-j tlve Cabinet last night by Dean of Students Robert J. Downey.

“Know that you are representing the students and not yourself, be prepared to serve and not to be served, have the integrity to do what is right and leave personality differences outside the chamber door,” he recommended to the new officers.
The bulk of the cabinet’s first session was spent choosing student representatives to a conference at Berkeley the week of the USC-Cal football game and discussing plans for the annual student government retreat to Camp Hess Kramer in Malibu.

The Camp Hess Kramer program, being prepared by ASSC Vice President Sue McBurney, will be held Oct. 14. Mrs. McBurney said that the theme of the one-day- retreat will be a discussion of ways to “bridge the gap” between the students and their student government.
“Previous retreats have tried to give student leaders philosophical insight into the mechanics and organization of government.” the vice president said. “We hope to make this session a realistic discussion of the problems that face the ordinary student.”

TYR Croup To Recruit 400 Trojans
A membership drive to recruit new members for the Trojan Young Republicans began yesterday and will continue through Sept. 30, TYR President Harvey Harris announced.
The TYR booth, in front of the Student Union, will be open from noon to 2 p.m. today and tomorrow and on.Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
Harris said TYR is trying to build the largest Republican volunteer club in the state.
"To do this,” he said “we need 700 members, 400 more than are now signed up.”
The 10-year-old club, headed is underway on the stapling of hy elected officers and appoint
plastic arterial grafts in the body.
With the clips, Dr. Samuels said he could place a graft in the aorta in the chest in seven and one half minutes. This operation, using sutures, requires one-half hour under ideal conditions for an expert surgeon and up to one hour for an average surgeon.
A straight opening in a blood vessel can be clipped shut in three and one-half minutes Instead of the 15 to 20 minutes required for suturing.
In one operation, a kidney was transplanted from th-? abdominal
ed committee chairmen, has worked for Republican candidates in local, state and federal governments. Besides promoting candidates, TYR also participates in many community service projects, Harris said. -
The membership fee of $2 covers lectures, socials, conventions and all other club activities, he added.

band does not require large amounts of time as it meets only on Thursday and Friday afternoons from 3:30 to 5 and on the Saturday morning of a scheduled game.
The band will appear on national television during the Iowa game on Oct. 14. The group will also appear at the USC-Berkeley game on Oct. 21 which will be teleused throughout the Western states.
Side Benefits
Band members obtain many fringe benefits from participation in band activities, Garner said.
“In addition to one-half unit credit in a P. E. elective, band members receive a free ticket to the games for a guest, a free meal in the Commons prior to a game and $50 cash at the end of the season,” he explained.
Other benefits include a n award banquet at which pins, letters, sweaters and blankets are presented. Band membership also entitles the student to fly up to the Cal game on an allexpense-paid trip, the band leader continued.
New Directors The Glee Club will be led by Robert Isgro and Royce Saltzman. Any student, regardless of his major, is eligible for the group. An optional one-naif unit of credit will be given if requested.
Isgrow will lead the men while the women will be directed by Saltzman.
The Glee Club was revived two years ago and has continued to grow since that time. Amcng the group’s activities are hospital anr’ naval base visits and a tour to Southern California schools conducted last year. Music Appreciation The purpose of the club is primarily to give and to receive music appreciation.
Co-presidents of the Glee Club for this year are Richard Kelley and Gina Quijano.
Saltzman has been at USC since 1959. He has taught at the college level for six years. He received his masters degree in music from Northwestern University.
Isgro received his masters degree from Columbia University in New York and now is working at USC for a doctorate in musical arts.

A new course in beginning Portuguese, offered for the first time and an intensive honors course in German are features of the university’s fall language curricula.
Portuguese 100a will meet t'ai-ly at 9 a.m. German 200a will meet at 2:15 MWF, taught by Professor John Spalek.
“Portuguese is being offered because Americans know so little of Portuguese - speaking nations that the U. S. Office of Education has placed the language on the list of five priority lan guages,” reports Mrs. Dorothy McMahon, head of the department of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
“This is the University’s beginning response to the national need for better understanding of our neighbors south of the border,” she said of the new class.
“While Spanish is the national language of . most South American countries, the largest of them, Brazil, speaks Portuguese.
“This is an opportunity, available at very few universities, for students to learn something of the language and culture of that country.”
The German honors course will emphasize oral competence by using German almost exclusively in the classroom. More reading than is normally required in intermediate German classes will be assigned.
This section is a continuation of an intensive summer session course for Selected students. “R” Cards may be obtained at the German department.
Kendall said. '
Last years freshman elections were delayed more than a month by Senatorial wrangling over the Election Code. Senators were never able to agree on a code, and only last-minute passage of a temporary emergency code for the freshmen allowed the new students to begin their class organization.
Senate leader Kendall remarked that the difficulties encountered by last year’s code, which was revised more than five times during the year before an interim code was prepared, are not expected for this year’s version. Controversial Area “The areas that caused controversy between the Senate and Executive Cabinet last year have been eliminated,” Kendall said. "We expect very little opposition to the code.”
Among the areas of strong controversy in last year’s election debates was a section provided for pre-registration of voters and one calling for the use of private investigators to check student identification.
Kendall, who championed the battle for pre-registration of vot ers while social studies senator last y ear, said that the new code includes improvements in the voting procedures.
“Some of the provisions of last year’s temporary code drew criticism from senators,” Kendall explained. “We think that the new code resolves these areas.” Education Petition A petition from the School of Education asking for recognition as a field of study will also be considered by the senators at their first meeting.
Kendall said that tne Education School is one of the few on-campus schools that has failed previously to prepare itself for representation according to standards outlined in the ASSC Consitution.
“The Education School has prepared a constitution and has developed a governing body,” Kendall noted. “It has met the requirements for recognition in all areas and the petition will be given careful consideration.”
If the Education School is recognized, it will be entitled to two seats on the Senate, thereby raising the total number of senators to 35.
Five Chimps Finish Tests For Space Hop
Five chimpanzees recently completed two weeks of “astronaut training” in the USC centrifuge for a possible trip into space.
Conducted by the Bioastronau-tics Research Laboratory, of Holloman Air Force Base, and supported by McDonnell Aircraft Co., the program was set up to determine effects of acceleration, noises and vibration on the animals under simulated flight conditions.
During all tests, the chimps were strapped on a couch in a cab at the end of one of the whirling arms of the centrifuge.
Lift-Off Phase
The centrifuge was accelerated until the animals were subjected to forces 10 times the force of gravity to duplicate the “lift-off’ phase of a space journey. The machine was stopped to simulate the time the capsule would float in orbit, then accelerated to seven ”GS” to duplicate the stress of re-entry into the atmosphere.
During the test, bio-instrumentation and performance date were electronically transmitted to a recording room, where instrumentation flown in from the Bioastronautics laboratory wj| installed. t
Flight Version
The flight couch contained a miniaturized flight version of psychological testing equipment.
The program was unique because of the simultaneous recording of physiological and psychological data. The testing was in cooperation with the biomedical program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
During their USC stay, the chimps were housed in three specially designed trailers con-taming living quarters, a training facility and a veterinary medical center.
The training van housed automated equipment which was Senate leader Kendall said j used to condition the animals for that preparations have been their tasks and to determine the made to hold election of the edu- accuracy- of their responses, cation senators on the same days The USC facility is a 50-foot-as the freshman elections, Oct. diameter circular room contain-4 and 5. | ing the centrifuge.
Congolese Educators Attend USC Seminars
Leaders Get Class
The University College division is offering a new 10-week course in leadership for women this fall.
Latest methods and information in management training are given to first-line supervisors or middle managers and will be brought to those women interested in assuming leadership of firms and businesses.
Nineteen Congolese m e n, leaders in the field of public education in their homeland, arrived on campus reccently to begin a year of study.
The group, including 17 teachers and two engineers, has been selected by the U. S. Department of State and will attend USC under an agreement between the university and the International Cooperation Acimin- faculty of University College.
Teachers of the four seminars respectively are: Waldo Phillips, former Los Angeles social case worker who is at USC working toward his doctorate; Rodman F. Garrity, administrative assistant in the Educational Placement Office; Isaac McClelland, alumnus and principal of Jordon High School in Los

A new course in beginning Portuguese, offered for the first time and an intensive honors course in German are features of the university’s fall language curricula. Portuguese 100a will meet t'ai-ly at 9 a.m. German 200a will meet at 2:15 MWF, taught by Professor John Spalek. “Portuguese is being offered because Americans know so little of Portuguese - speaking nations that the U. S. Office of Education has placed the language on the list of five priority lan guages,” reports Mrs. Dorothy McMahon, head of the department of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. “This is the University’s beginning response to the national need for better understanding of our neighbors south of the border,” she said of the new class. “While Spanish is the national language of . most South American countries, the largest of them, Brazil, speaks Portuguese. “This is an opportunity, available at very few universities, for students to learn something of the language and culture of that country.” The German honors course will emphasize oral competence by using German almost exclusively in the classroom. More reading than is normally required in intermediate German classes will be assigned. This section is a continuation of an intensive summer session course for Selected students. “R” Cards may be obtained at the German department. Kendall said. ' Last years freshman elections were delayed more than a month by Senatorial wrangling over the Election Code. Senators were never able to agree on a code, and only last-minute passage of a temporary emergency code for the freshmen allowed the new students to begin their class organization. Senate leader Kendall remarked that the difficulties encountered by last year’s code, which was revised more than five times during the year before an interim code was prepared, are not expected for this year’s version. Controversial Area “The areas that caused controversy between the Senate and Executive Cabinet last year have been eliminated,” Kendall said. "We expect very little opposition to the code.” Among the areas of strong controversy in last year’s election debates was a section provided for pre-registration of voters and one calling for the use of private investigators to check student identification. Kendall, who championed the battle for pre-registration of vot ers while social studies senator last y ear, said that the new code includes improvements in the voting procedures. “Some of the provisions of last year’s temporary code drew criticism from senators,” Kendall explained. “We think that the new code resolves these areas.” Education Petition A petition from the School of Education asking for recognition as a field of study will also be considered by the senators at their first meeting. Kendall said that tne Education School is one of the few on-campus schools that has failed previously to prepare itself for representation according to standards outlined in the ASSC Consitution. “The Education School has prepared a constitution and has developed a governing body,” Kendall noted. “It has met the requirements for recognition in all areas and the petition will be given careful consideration.” If the Education School is recognized, it will be entitled to two seats on the Senate, thereby raising the total number of senators to 35. Five Chimps Finish Tests For Space Hop Five chimpanzees recently completed two weeks of “astronaut training” in the USC centrifuge for a possible trip into space. Conducted by the Bioastronau-tics Research Laboratory, of Holloman Air Force Base, and supported by McDonnell Aircraft Co., the program was set up to determine effects of acceleration, noises and vibration on the animals under simulated flight conditions. During all tests, the chimps were strapped on a couch in a cab at the end of one of the whirling arms of the centrifuge. Lift-Off Phase The centrifuge was accelerated until the animals were subjected to forces 10 times the force of gravity to duplicate the “lift-off’ phase of a space journey. The machine was stopped to simulate the time the capsule would float in orbit, then accelerated to seven ”GS” to duplicate the stress of re-entry into the atmosphere. During the test, bio-instrumentation and performance date were electronically transmitted to a recording room, where instrumentation flown in from the Bioastronautics laboratory wj installed. t Flight Version The flight couch contained a miniaturized flight version of psychological testing equipment. The program was unique because of the simultaneous recording of physiological and psychological data. The testing was in cooperation with the biomedical program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. During their USC stay, the chimps were housed in three specially designed trailers con-taming living quarters, a training facility and a veterinary medical center. The training van housed automated equipment which was Senate leader Kendall said j used to condition the animals for that preparations have been their tasks and to determine the made to hold election of the edu- accuracy- of their responses, cation senators on the same days The USC facility is a 50-foot-as the freshman elections, Oct. diameter circular room contain-4 and 5. ing the centrifuge. Congolese Educators Attend USC Seminars Leaders Get Class The University College division is offering a new 10-week course in leadership for women this fall. Latest methods and information in management training are given to first-line supervisors or middle managers and will be brought to those women interested in assuming leadership of firms and businesses. Nineteen Congolese m e n, leaders in the field of public education in their homeland, arrived on campus reccently to begin a year of study. The group, including 17 teachers and two engineers, has been selected by the U. S. Department of State and will attend USC under an agreement between the university and the International Cooperation Acimin- faculty of University College. Teachers of the four seminars respectively are: Waldo Phillips, former Los Angeles social case worker who is at USC working toward his doctorate; Rodman F. Garrity, administrative assistant in the Educational Placement Office; Isaac McClelland, alumnus and principal of Jordon High School in Los the English language i n order that the men may be better prepared to assimilate the USC instruction. “This group will be perhaps the most challenging foreign student body which has come to USC in the last four years.” Dr. William Georgiades, associate professor of education and coor- Angeles; and members of the j dinator of the program> said. istration. The men range in age from 21 to 37 years. Especially tailored to their needs, work the Congolese will take at USC will be embraced in a non-degree, certificate program. Four seminars have been planned particularly for the group in Sociological and Philosophical Foundations, Elementary School Admiinistration, Secondary School Administration and in study of the English language. In addition, the Congolese will audit other classes and courses The Congolese delegation was greeted b y representatives of the Committee on Friendly Relations Among Foreign Students on arrival at International Air-p o r t from Washington la^t Friday. For the first month, the Congolese will live together, first at the Tyler hotel and later on the USC campus. Eventually, they will be separated and each will live with an American stu- “We believe that this is one of the responsibilities of a private American university in combating world communism and we happily accept the challenge.” This is the eighth foreign student group brought to USC under the International Teacher Development Program of ICA, Dr. Georgiades said.
