ND DRIVE TO SPARK MASTER PLAN
(Editor’s Note: This is the last in a series of articles on the Master Flan.)

Ultimately, the success or failure of the Master Plan will depend on the result of the university’s fiist long-range, full-scale fund-raising drive, which began in earnest this semester.
For to get the wise faculty, dedicated student and improved physical plant called for in the plan, the university will have to raise $106 million during the next 20 years.
The SlOO-plus million estimate has been called a conservative figure by persons who point to the amount of classrooms that will have to be built, faculty developed and land acquired to meet the demands of an exploding population in the next two decades.
The critical years that will decide the outcome of this long-range effort, however, will be
the next four, during which time the Phase One goal of $30.2 million' is to be reached.
The road ahead will not be easier once the first phase is completed, but by that time the plan will have been established, and the method of fund-raising will have been in operation long enough for experience to erase any flaws that might be discovered.
If the four-year drive is highly successful, so that the final total exceeds the goal, a bandwagon effect may be started. At any rate, confidence for the long pull over the following 16 years will certainly be bolstered.
The fund-raising drive is being coordinated for the university by the planning department, headed by Vice President Tom Nickell; it is being spearheaded by the Board cf Trustees and Chairman Leonard K. Firestone.
Chairman Firestone has divided the prospective areas being cultivated in the fund-raising prcgram into corporations, foundations and indi-
viduals. The efforts of the trustees are being concentrated on the first two areas, while the university is coordinating the recruitment of individual pledges, which are specificially being sought from USC’s estimated 65,000 living alumni.
The role cf the trustees is by no means insignificant or titular. Vice President Nickell has estimated that $25 million, or 80 per cent of the $30 million first phase goal will come from 72 large gifts.
The trustees, with their national committee
for the Master Plan, headed by H. Leslie Hoffman,
are not only playing the key role in attracting
these 72 important donations, but each has made
a substantial personal pledge of his own to the program. Through sub-committees, the trustees screen
potential doners and, working in cooperation with
the university, decide how they are to be approached and who should make the contacts.
“Our method of raising funds is to discover the
specific interest of the potential donor and then relate that interest to a corresponding part of the Master Plan,” Firestone explained. “We don't want just the donor's money: we want him to take a personal interest in the future of the university.”
To date, only four months after fund raising was formally begun, some $4 million in gifts has been announced by the university. They have included $640,000 frcm trustee Hoffman for USC’s first academically-endowed chair; $500,000 from chairman Firestone in unrestricted funds: and another S2.2 million from the Olin Foundation fcr a new engineering building.
More recently, trustee Henry Salvatori gave $325,000 for establishment of a Research Institute on Communist Strategy and Propaganda, and the U. S. Public Health Service confirmed a grant of SI million for a new Biosciences Research Center.
This early success bears witness to the careful planning of the trustees, but only improving the

Festival Will Spotlight Quintets
Rowite Cooks Will Compete In Fry' Tilt
Fraternity men representing 13 sororities will cook hamburgers for prizes tomorrow from 11 a.m. until neon at an a!l-university picnic sponsored by the Representation Party at Fern Dell.
The winning fraternity cook-out contestant will receive a trcphy for himself and a bar-beque for his fraternity in addition to a trophy for his sponsoring sorority, Mike Rchjnson, party director, said yesterday.
The Representation Party, a political group created last spring, assumed sponsorship of the affair after the Greater University Committee, the original sponsor of the event, failed to provide sufficient funds, Robinson explained.
No Cancellation
Robinson said that his party has assumed the financial load rather than cancel the cookout.
“The event is the first of its kind at the university, and we hope it will be an annual affair,” he said.
“The Greater University Committee is grateful to the Representation Party and its chairman, Mike Robinson, for assuming the responsibility for tomorrow’s cookout, Bev Wilson, committee chairman, said yesterday.
“This is a worthwhile event and should provide fun and amusement for all who participate,” she noted.
No Money
Miss Wilson said that the Greater University Committee was unable to finance the cookout because of a shortage of ASSC funds.
Robinson said a faculty member will judge the quality of the hamburgers.
Sororities and their representatives are Delta Gamma with KA Mike Guhin, Alpha Phi with PiKA Chip Wickett, Chi Omega with Phi Sig Phil Anshutz, Pi Phi with Beta Mike Gess and Kappa Alpha Theta with Chi Phi Dick Hare.

National Poll Picks Gagarin As Top News
The news sense of USC students suffered a slight blow when John F. Kennedy’s presidential inaugural was picked as the top news story of 1961 in a recent campus poll while UPI chose Soviet M a j. Yuri Gagarin’s flight as number one.
Results of United Press International's annual editor’’, poll, taken in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and South America, indicated that Maj. Gagarin’s orbital flight and safe return was considered the No. 1 news story in all parts of the world except South America.
South American editors placed Gagarin’s flight in the No. 5 spot. Their first choice was Russia’s explosion of the 50-plus megaton bomb.
Student Poll
The student poll did, however, correctly indicate the No. 2 UPI choice, which was the building of the wall between East and West Berlin.
Other important events which received a large amount of student support included Comdr. Aian B. Shepard’s flight into space; Russia’s detonation of the 50-plus megaton bomb; the UN’s authorization of force in the Congo; and President Kennedy’s Peace Corps plan.
A similar poll taken among Daily Trojan news editors and copyreaders showed their first four choices to be identical with those of UPI.
Cuba Fiasco
The unsuccessful Cuban invasion and Russia’s 50-pl’is megaton bomb explosion tied for fifth place in the Daily Trojan staff member poll.
Other news stories that made the Daily Trojan’s top 10 included the trial of Adolf Eich-mann by Israel. Kennedy’s inauguration and the death of 78 persons abroad the TWA Constellation.
Tour out of the 16 students polled here chose Kennedy’s inauguration as the No. 1 story, and all but five students included it in the first 10 out of 34 major events placed on the official UPI ballot.

Both Somody and Kaplan have won awards in photography. Somody, a senior psychology major, started working in the Daily Trojan photography department when he first came to USC.
Kaplan, a junior from Canada majoring in journalism, transferred to USC from Los Angeles Valley College in September. He has worked as a reporter and photographer.
The rest of the editorial staff will be the same. It includes Jo Ann Madron, assistant to the editor; Hal Drake, city editor; Karan Gustafson, feature editor; Richard Calhoun, sports editor; Dianne Riley, society editor; Peter Plagens, cartoonist; Sue Bernard, assistant feature editor; Jerry Labinger, assistant sports editor; and Julie Porter, assistant society editor.
Government to Offer English Fellowships
Six three-year fellowships for study toward a PhD degree in comparative literature are now being offered by USC under the auspices of the National Defense Education Act.
“These fellowships are open onl yto those seeking careers in university and college teach- j ing,’’ Dr. Paul E. Hadley, chairman of the program in comparative literature, said yesterday.
The government is extremely concerned with the shortage of university instructor in all fields and has initiated this program to step up .the annual output of qualified teachers, he said.
Applicants must have achieved a baccalaureate by August 1962 and must be ready to face rigorous requirements in at least two languages.
The stipends will range from $2,00 to $2,400 yearly over a three-year period. Tuition will
be waived by USC on all students granted fellowships.
Applications for the fellowships must be completed and presented to Dr. Hadley at the Administration Euilding before Feb. 10, 1962 in order to be considered.

Speakers to Vie in Meet
Dr. Cantelon Will Speak
A talk by University Chaplain John E. Cantelon on ‘‘He Suffered” will conclude this semester’s Vesper services Sunday at 4:30 p.m. in Hancock auditorium.

The speech department’s 26th annual high school speech tournament, one o f the nation’s largest high school forensic meets, will be held on campus today.
More than 500 students representing 71 Southern California schools have registered for competition in debate and individual speaking events. Winners will qualify for a state contest later in the year.
Competition is limited to contests in debate, with 104 debate teams vying for first placc honors debating the topic: “Resolved: that the federal government should equalize educational opportunity by means of grants to the states for public, elementary and secondary education.”
Topics, given to the students each year shortly before school
opens, are the same throughout each debate season. Teams must be prepared to debate both sides of a question.
“Since its inception in 1936, when high school debate tournaments were a rarity, the tournament has grown in size to the point where more than 100 Southern California schools are annually invited to participate,” Dr. James H. McBath. USC forensics director, said.
“The tournament is an important link between local and nr tional competition as first place winners in debate and individual events are automatically invited to participate in a state-wide contest held the following April,” he explained.
The current style of high school debate involves both argumentative speaking and cross examination.
In competition, the four participants initially give an eight-m i n u t e constructive speech in support of their sido of the case. Between each speech the preceding speaker is subjected to cross examination by a member of the opposition. Four-minute rebuttal speeches follow.
Contests in individual speaking events are scheduled for tomorrow.
In the extemporaneous speaking contests, participants are informed of their topic 45 minutes prior to speaking time. The student is allowed two minutes preparation but is given a general idea of the subject in advance of the tournament.
Original oratory involves delivery of a 10-minute memo-
rized speech that is the original work of the student. Other events include dramatic, h timorous and oratorical inter pretation. These are memorized speeches adapted from recognized literary works.
USC %-arsity debaters are given the responsibility of directing the individual events, compiling the ballots and recording tournament statistics.
David Church, graduate assistant on the forensics staff, is director of the 1962 tourna ment. He is assisted by Halie S. Coleman, graduate assistant, and Kenneth Moes, USC var sity squad captain.
Many of the varsity debaters aiding in the tournament ad ministration got their first look at USC when they were high school st-udents attending pas tournaments.
