Diverse Concepts Join at Cambridge
(Editor’s Note: This is the last in a series of three articles discussing the University of Cambridge summer session attended by 18 USC students this year. Miss Madron was one of USC’s representatives to the session.)
Bv JO ANN MADRON
Assistant to the Editor
Study at the University of Cambridge this summer for 18 USC students was academically a success, but probably more important than the mere facts the students learned was exposure and partial understanding of the many nationalities represented in the course.
In the unique learning situation it was possible to hear something in a lecture from a British point of view and discuss the same idea later with other foreign students, perhaps Norwegians, Italians or Greeks.
Not only intellectual ideas were topics for discussion, in learning how other people live, or how the educational system in each country operates. Questions never seemed to end for the American students. There was always someone around the college who wanted to know about the United States or who wanted to practice speaking English.
The Cambridge summer school program was originally designed to teach English to the foreign speaking and to aid English teachers in the instruction of the language. The program has expanded to include general studies of modern Britain with special emphasis given in four major fields of interest.
During this year's course there were lectures covering British politics, literature, the press and religion each morning, six days a week. In the afternoons, five days a week, seminars were conducted on four subjects: English literature, Britain in the world today, British institutions and the teaching of English as a foreign language.
There were also special phonetics classes for all students except the Americans and during the evenings there were optional lectures on music, art, architecture and British customs. Several excursions were sponsored by the university including trips to Oxford, Ely Cathedral, historic towns in East Anglia and Stratford-on-Avon, where the students saw a production of Shakespeare’s “As You Like it.-’
Lecturers were outstanding, with a language barrier existing only in the lectures of one professor. Most of the teachers for the course were from Cambridge, but there were representatives from other British universities. Guest speakers from local government, national politics, law enforcement, education and religion also presented lectures on their fields of specialization.
One fault in the course was that too many subjects and ideas were crowded in the limited time. Even though the month-long course was limited to a study of 20th century Great Britain, many lecturers found it necessary to provide background information for their topics.
The surface view of England in the morning lectures may have been permissible, because the purpose of these varied lectures was to give the student a glimpse of the country.
But the seminars, especially the one on English literature, did not delve deeply enough into the subject matter. Instead of closely examining the work of a few men in the literature seminar, it seemed there was an attempt to cover every major literary figure. The information presented and discussed was interesting, but not complete.
Yet through the condensation of material, it was possible to accomplish an almost impossible task — presenting modern Britain to international students in one month.

The coffee hours will be held each Wednesday afternoon, with different campus groups acting as host each week.
Committees Seek Foreign Students
Foreign students are members, of the university student bod\ and they have the potential to offer a great deal to their school j by participating in university | activities.	;
These are the feelings cf -To- j mas Bergjndal, Foreign Student I Committee chairman who yes- ; terday urged all foreign stu- j dents to join with him in apply-1 ing for ASSC committee positions.
"The Foreign Student Committee and I want to help the foreign students to become a part of USC life, but first they must help themselves,” Bergen-dal said.
Sophomores Open Fifing For Offices
Petitions for Sophomore Class recording secretary are now! available in room 301a SU, Sophomore President Dick Ziman announced yesteiday.
Also available are petitions for Sophomore council and committee members.
Requirements for the class positions are 28 completed units i and a 2.0 minimum grade point! Ziman said. Signed petitions must be returned to 301a SU by j Friday, he added.
“With the great program we have planned we must and will have top cooperation from the j tlass,” Ziman said.
“We cannot force them to join these committees if they do not want to, but we do fee) that their presence on committees will not only benefit the committees, but themselves as well,” he continued.
Away From Home
Most foreign students are living thousands of miles away from home and family, and must make the university their new home and life, Bergendal, a Swedish graduate student in international trade, said. He claimed that only by participating in activities can foreign itudents make USC a part of their lives.
Last year Bergendal was a member of the Foreign Student Committee and Intra-Cultural Club.
American Cooperation
Bergendal expressed hope that the foreign students can become coordinated with American and university life by way of social and academic projects. He especially urged American men students to join his committee.
“Cooperation is needed between Americans and foreigners, and where but in a university can you hcpe to gain such an important goal,” he said.
Bergendal stressed the importance of having the American student's ideas and opinions to aid him in his committee plans. "American students' lives are so different than ours it is vital for all of us to become friends and to work together,” he said.
Applications for the 14 ASSC committees will be available in 301a SU until Friday.
Entry Blanks For SCircus To Be Mailed
Campus living groups will receive packets of information necessary for registering and entering all Homecoming activities in the mail this week Homecoming Co-chairman Robbin Angelica reported yesterday.
The mailing, used by Homecoming Committee for the first time this year, includes a list of all activities for the week-long “SCircus” as well as entrance blanks for Trolios, the queen contest, Troy Jubilee and house decorations.
Deadline Date An introductory letter with the packet mentions that its purpose is <to "overcome the past problems in communication of rules and deadlines and to allow living groups the most time possible to prepare entries for the various SCircus events.”
Miss Angelica said that the packets were mailed to all sororities, fraternities, dormitories and private living groups, but professional groups with no central mailing address will not be contacted.
Need Groups
“We would like very much for these groups to enter any and all of the events during Homecoming,” she said. "The success of Trolios and Trey Jubilee has often hinged on the enthusiastic participation of these professional organizations.”
Any representative of a professional sorority or fraternity who would like further information on Homecoming events or who would like to have a packet of Homecoming material may contact the Special Events Office, 232 SU.
New Measure To Eliminate Voting Tie-Up
By HAL DRAKE
Daily Trojan City Editor
An ordinance requiring the Elections Committee to insure against congested voting lines in the spring elections was passed unanimously by the Executive Cabinet last night.
The bill was uesigned to eliminate the possibility of heavy tie-ups in the voting lines that might have occured under the system* provided in the Elections Code passed last week by both the Senate and cabinet.
The cabinet members also voted to initiate a social orientation program for foreign students by inviting a pilot group of Congolese students to attend the USC-SMU football game Friday night as guests of the student body.
More Booths
The election ordinance was passed after a minimum of debate and empowers the Elections Committee to prepare additional manpower and voting booths for the polling area in the event of a large voter turnout.
The ordinance stemmed from attacks that the Election Code did not adequately safeguard against the reoccurance of the extremely long voting lines that characterized last spring’s election. ASSC President Hugh Helm promised last week that an ordinance of this sort would be prepared immediately in order to placate opposition to the acceptance of the code.
Election Chairman
The one-page ordinance simply details to the election chairman the duty of improving facilities that might be deemed inadequate by the chairman of the Board of Inquiry, the dean of students or by a voter with a valid complaint.
No interpretation of potential-' ly valid complaints was included in the ordinance.
“We have purposely left the ordinance broad because it is our duty to establish areas of administrative policy,” Helm told the cabinet members. “The details, such as how many voting booths will be needed and how many workers should be hired, are properly the responsibility of the Election Committee.”
The ordinance requires the election commissioner to make arrangements for these possible inadequacies in advance of the spring elections.
Retreat Plans
Final plans for the annual student government retreat to Camp Hess Kramer in Malibu were outlined by ASSC Vice President Sue McBurney, who is coordinating the program.
She said that faculty and administration members have been invited to attend the conference to give the student leaders a different outlook on student government problems.
President Helm said that the conference will be a “school” in the essentials of student government.
EL RODEO TO SEEK STAFF FOR NEXT YEAR'S EDITION
Secretaries, staff assistants, photographers, copy readers and index assistants are being sought for the 1962 El Rodeo staff. Editor Charlotte Hawkins, announced yesterday.
Applications may be obtained in 403 SU, or from the Manager of Student Publications, 303 SU.
Secretaries are needed to type letters, answer the telephone, run miscellaneous errands and to do filing, Miss Hawkins said.
Staff assistants will help write copy for the sections concerning student government, achievement, schools and faculty, fraternities and sports.
Copyreader assistants will check the copy for grammar, style, punctation, spelling and measurement, and will read the final proofs.
“We want people both with and without experience,” Miss Hawkins said. “Those who hold minor positions this year will be able to work up to the major positions on next year’s staff.”
All staff members take a “training program” which will include specific readings' as well as materials concerning El Rodeo style, procedures, production and general information.
A general test must be passed before staff members will be placed on salary.
Senate to Discuss Rose Parade Entry
A resolution encouraging the university to support an annual float in the Rose Parade will be considered by the ASSC Senate tonight at 6:30 in the Senate Chambers, 301 SU.
Recognition of campus activities to tie in with National Pharmacy Week and a bill to help orient new foreign students to USC social life will also be considered.
Senate President pro tem Bob Kendall said that the Rose Parade resolution would be in the
Book Contest To Award Cash Prizes
The School of Library' Science will open its annual student book contest this week to encourage the hobby of book collecting, Library' Dean Martha Boaz announced yesterday.
Competition is open to all students regularly enrolled in- the university. The monetary prizes of $75 and $25 will be awarded during National Library Week in April, Dean Boaz said.
A notice of intention to participate must be sent to the dean of the School of Library Science, 335 Doheny by December 16.
Collections will be judged on the significance and originality of the subject or theme chosen, the importance of the individual titles in relation to the central theme and the editorial quality of the editions chosen.
Collections should be limited to no less than 25 nor more than 50 titles, Dean Boaz said. Preliminary judging will be done on the basis of a bibliography, while final judging will be based on inspection of the collection.
Further information and complete- contest rules may be obtained from Dean Martha Boaz, of Library Science.
form of a recommendation to the administration and would only outline a possible method of achieving this goal.
“Any actual method of developing a Rose Parade entry would be developed by the planning department,’’ Kendall said. “We have suggested, however, that the Knight and Amazon presidents be appointed to coordinate the student side of the effort.”
Kendall said that he had not been able to find a reason for the university’s lack of participation in the annual event in previous years.
Pointing out that several other local colleges always have entries in the parade, the Senate leader guessed that lack of interest on the part of the student body in past attempts may have been the reason for USCs absence.
The foreign students orientation bill would authorize the ASSC to treat new foreign students to the first football game of the fall semester if passed. •
“We have foreign students from more than 85 foreign nations on campus and one of the largest number in the nation.” Kendall said. “The beginning of the year would be the right time to introduce them to the customs of the school and let them know we are interested in their happiness.”
The Senate pleader noted that social adjustment often isn’t as easy as academic adjustment for foreign students. He said that attending a football game as guests of the student body would be an excellent way of helping them in their adjustment.
Recognition of Pharmacy Week, which is scheduled to begin Oct. 1, would allow the School cf Pharmacy to join in the celebration proclaimed last week by Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty.
Fharmacy Senator Denny Hayes will outline his school’s planned activities for the coming week at the Senate session.
Nixon Could Win, Poll Says
By ALAN BINE
USC students have decided that former Vice President Richard Nixon will be California’s next governor if he decides to run, a campus poll taken yesterday revealed.
Eighty per cent of the students interviewed felt Nixon would and must run for the office if he is to retain his position of national prominence in the Republican Party.
Students favoring Nixon said he could win easily if his only opposition were Pat Brown, the state’s present governor.
ASSC President Hugh Helm expressed the general opinion cf USC students. “He’s a fool if he doesn’t run.” Helm remarked.
Bob Sangster, junior in psychology, had a different slant on the situation.
“Nixon doesn't have a choice,” Sangster claimed. He can't run
against Kennedy, that would be suicide, so he must run for governor.” Sangster added that Nixon’s chance for success depended on dissension which may develop within the Republican Party.
Harvey Harris, president of Trojan Young Republicans, said that any Republican could win over Brown. “The State hasn't benefited from Brown's adminis* tration, it's as simple as that,’ he said.
“He (Nixon) has two choices” the TYR president continued, “Help the Republican Party during Congressional elections by endorsing its candidates or running for governor.”
Harris, who feels Nixon wants to do all he can to put California back on its feet, listed the state’s tax structure, water situation and battle against narcotics as major problems,
“Nixon is the man who can ease these problems,” he noted.
Harris claimed that Nixon does not want to run for the Presidency. “He just wants to be a good governor,” the international relations sophomore predicted.
Other students’ reactions followed the ideas of Republican Harris.
“When I met Nixon at our graduation he acted as if he were looking forward to taking part in California politics,” Dick Popko, sophomore majoring in advertising, said.
“I think he has an excellent chance,” Popko added.
Sophomore political science major Dotty Shell, daughter of Republican gubernatorial aspirant Joseph Shell, said she didn’t know if Nixon would seek the nomination her father is trying to gain.
“The Democrats will beat him,
if he does,” she said.
Some students claimed Nixon should stay out of the gubernatorial race.
Sue Bernard, sophomore journalism student, predicted that Nixon would not run for the office because he wants to run for president in 1964.
“He's too conscientious a person to become governor and then resign to campaign for the Presidency,” she claimed.
*T hope he doesn’t run,” said history junior Tammy Berger. “His image will be ruined if he loses another election.” Miss Ber-ger said, however, that she would like to see Nixon‘run if Brown is the Democratic choice.
“Mickey Mouse could beat Brown,” she explained.
Nixon will announce his decision to run or not to run during a TV-radio press conference tonight. *
Program Leader To Push Search For Candidates
Warren W. Wiggins, associated director of the Peace Co^ps for program development and operations, will be the principal speaker today at a luncheon meeting of the Peace Corps Conference being officially hosted by USC at the Huntington-Sheraton Hotel in Pasadena.*
The conference is the first of	_
13 regional, explanatory conferences that have been planned to ; answer questions of would-be,
Peace Corps members as well as those of the ordinary citizen.
At a special news conference held yesterday. Bill Moyers, the youngest associate director of the Peace Corps, said that the most vital problem now facing the Peace Corps program is t>he recruitment of qualified persons. ;
Qualified Applicants
“We can’t sit in our Washington offices and know who is qualified in Pasadena,” he said.
“The citizen in the community can be of service to us by helping to find the qualified people,” he continued.
He revealed a new plan through which the Peace Corps will take care of training costs while individual colleges or universities will undertake the training and operation of the program.
The host committee, composed , of Pasadena and Los Angeles j community leaders, will be headed by Dr. Rodger Swearingen. | associate professor of international relations and director of USC’s Soviet-Asian studies center.
Other Hosts
Other host committee members from USC will include Dr.
Paul Hadley, dean of the summer session and executive secretary of USCs Institute of World Affairs; Dr. William B.
Storm, professor of public administration: Viets Logue, counselor for foreign students; and Dr. Theodore H. E. Chen, chairman of the department of Asiatic studies.
Dr. Carl Q. Christol, head of the political science department, has received a personal invitation from Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson to attend the conference.
The letter urged Dr. Christol to help generate interest among students in the work of the Peace Corps.
Vice President Johnson is chairman of the National Advisory Council lo the Peace Corps.
Honorary Chairman is William O. Douglas, associate justice of the Supreme Court.
Staff Members
Wiggins, a career expert in the field of foreign assistance, will be accompanied by other Peace Corps staff members including Franklin Williams, special assistant to Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver: Dr.
Charles Young, project training cfficer for Nigeria; Thomas E.
Quimby, director of recruitment; and Alyce Kelly, coordinator of testing procedures.
Information about the Peace Corps will be made available to those attending through symposiums and small discussion groups. Recruitment, methods of selection, training sites, programs and overseas support are among topics scheduled for discussion.
Attending the conference will be representatives of civic, labor, business, collegiate, agricultural and international relations organizations.	. .
No Fees
There will be no registration fee for students and only a nominal charge for non-students.
Formal opening of the conference is at 9:30 this morning.
The Peace Corps was officially started last March when President Kennedy issued an executive order establishing the Corps on a temporary basis.
The Peace Corps has been called a new dimension of mutual assistance programs. Other United States programs provide military aid, technical assistance and capital to other nations, but the Peace Corps makes available a pool of trained manpower to help other countries meet urgent needs, supporters claim.
Preparation for Peace Corps members includes study of the host nation’s language, history, customs, traditions and economy.

Episcopalians To Hear Talk About Bible
Biblical fundamentalism, the “God-whispering in-the-ear” the-: ory, will be the major subject [ of the first Luncheon Forum meeting today at noon at the Episcopal Center, 854 W. 36th St.
Using the theme of “Brush Up Your Theology,” the center will present weekly speakers on all aspects of religion.
“T h e ‘God-vvhi. pering-m-the-ear theory is not as common as ; it used to be.” Episcopal Chap-I lain Michael Hamilton said.
“There are at least two reasons for this, the chief one be-; ing the growth in understanding through the disciplines of archeology, literary criticism and history, all of which have discovered a great deal about how the Old and New Testaments were formed,” he added.
The second reason stems from the fact that Christ's teachings reach us in a language twice-removed from that He spoke, he said.
All students are invited to at-tsfcd the forum.
