'UNENFORCEABLE LAW'
Campus Politicians Hedge On 'Open Meeting' Policy
By HAL DRAKE Daily Trojan City Editor
A campus “Brown Act" that would require all university organizations involved in student politics to hold open policy meetings probably will not find its way into the ASSC agenda this year.
Four student leaders, responding to a Daily Trojan editorial calling for establishment of such an act, said that such a law would be unenforceable.”
The four leaders—ASSC Pres-dent Hugh Helm. ASSC Vice President Sue McBurney, ASSC Secretary Maryalice Herrick and Senate President pro tem Bob Kendall—emphasized, however. that such a law would probably ba a "moral victory.” Closed Doors The Wednesday editorial called fora student policy regarding the areas of political
parties, elections and student committees along the lines of the state "Brown Acts” to prevent these organizations from meeting "behind closed doors.” Absence of such legislation, the editorial claimed, had to be interpreted as an implicit approval by student legislators -of secret functions.
The four leaders were outspoken in their condemnation of secret activities, but hedged on the possibility of outlawing such activities through legislation.
Change Attitude
Senate President pro tem Kendall, probably the most influential member of that body, said the legislation would not be able to change the "attitude of the students.”
"It hardly seems possible that any group can legislate away the attitudes of students,” Ken-
USC Engineer' Scans Inner Space' Ideas
Much of today's scientific interest focuses on the conquest of outer space, but an article in the October issue of USC Engineer looks the other way in viewing the "Conquest of Inner Space.”
The article, written by Roland L. Rogahn, editor of the Engineer, delves into architecture of past and present, and discusses man's creations in inner space as "a unique and personal fourth dimension.”
“The phenomenon of space becomes concrete reality o n 1 y in architecture and therefore reality is it* chief characteristic,” the article paints out. "Architecture then is limited to structures which enclose space.”
First Edition
The first 1961-62 school year issue of USC Engineer honored the Olin Foundation, Inc. for its presentation for funds for a new engineering building and facilities.
An article by Charles E. Horn, president of the foundation, explains the needs of the independent university.
"I encourage the School of Engineering of USC to tell the student the day he enters what the school will do on his behalf, and what he should do for the school, as a student, and later as an alumnus,” President Horn wrote.
Hard Work
“I compel you who are students of this school to apply yourselves dilgentlv to your studies so that you do not become mortality statistics.”
Other articles featured are “Professional Climate in Engineering" by J. Gibons Pieasant, vice president. Research and Development of Proctor and Gamble; and a four-article explanation of "USC Engineering’s New Building.”
Dr. Pleasant’s article was taken from a paper presented at
the 13th Annual College Industry Conference held in February.
Special messages by President Topping; Dr. Robert E. Vivian, engineering emeritus; and Dean Alfred C. Ingersoll, School of Engineering, are included in the 42-page magazine.
USC ^Engineer, published quarterly, is edited by Rogahn. Associate editor is Edward Wais; technical editor, Wm. Straut Deans; and campus editor, G. Russell Hule.
Pnce of the magazine is 35 cents. It may be obtained at the School of Engineering or in the Student Union Gift Shop.
Study Group To Host Tea
USC students who attended the University of Cambridge vacation course for foreign students last summer will be honored at a tea and press interview' given by the Cambridge Committee today from 3 to 4 in the Faculty Lounge of the upstairs Commons.
The 18 USC representatives were the first American students to attend the month-long summer course in England. During the month they were exposed to intensified study of modem Great Britain.
Attending the tea will be the four USC vice presidents: Dr. Tracy E. Strevey, academic affairs; Dr. Carl M. Franklin, financial affairs; Mulvey White, student and alumni affairs; and Tom Nickell, planning.
Other administration members attending will be Dr. Neil D. Warren, dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences; Dr. Robert J. Downey, dean of students; Mrs. Joan M. Schaefer, assistant dean of students — women; and Dr. Wiliiam H. McGrath, assistant dean of students—men.
dall said. ‘‘It has been my experience at USC that those who have yelled ‘dirty poo'’ the longest and the loudest have very often been the ones who are least interested in putting forth efforts to improve cr change these things about which they are complaining.”
Kendall admitted, however, that such legislature would be "admirable, however ineffectual.”
ASSC President Helm reacted similarly to Kendall. Although he agreed with President Topping’s challenge to underground political parties to reveal themselves, Helm claimed that only a “responsible citizenry” would be able to force open political meetings.
No Legislation
"This (public opinion meetings), like integration, is something I believe is best accomplished not through legislation but through an educated, responsible citizenry desirous of effective political parties,” Helm said.
Vice President McBurney hailed the call for legislation for calling attention to a serious problem, but she too expressed doubts as to whether legislation would have any effect.
“Underground political parties are immoral in the broadest sense of the word,” Mrs. McBurney claimed. “They are under no obligation to show responsibility either to the university or to themselves.
Legislation Needed “I don’t knowr where to start to change this situation, but legislation is certainly needed,” she continued. “Something has to be done.”
Mrs. McBurney said that legislation from the Senate might be hypocritical, since many who vote for it would probably be members of such organizations themselves.”
Secretary Herrick also expressed doubts that legislation against governmental secrecy would be effective, but said "l pressure campaign or legislation might make students “more aware of the friction and events that go on during elections.”
In the area cf secrecy in ballot counting, Miss Herrick agreed wholeheartedly that legislation was needed. The Daily Trojan editorial claimed that the time and place of ballot counting should always be a matter of public information.
“In federal and state elections, anyone is allowed to watch ballets being counted," Miss Herrick said. ‘‘It is against my rights as a voter to be denied the privilege to make sure that ballots are being counted correctly.”
The three other ASSC leaders agreed with Miss Herrick that the public, or the press as a representative of the public, should always be present at ballot - counting to provide a check against secrecy.
Legislation in this area was regarded as desirable by all four officers.

Renner said. “No site has been designated f(fr a new armory, so I guess we'll be without one for a while.”
The new commander said that
he was not yet familiar enough to judge the strengths and weaknesses of the campus Naval unit to make any immediale policy changes. However, he did offer a suggestion for housing of NROTC students.
“The only criticism I have so far is that there is no living space for NROTC students. It is highly' desirable to have regular midshipmen living together,” Colonel Renner said.
Colonel Renner graduated from the University of Oregon in 1935 and received a commission as Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps the same year. He is also a graduate of Navy Flight School and USAF War College.
The Marine commander has served as commanding officer for a Marine fighter squadron, twp Marine aircraft fighter groups, one night tighter group and various other command and staff positions in the Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force.

Two Students Win Awards In Medicine
By ALAN BINE
University problems and their possible solutions will be discussed by more than 75 student leaders, administration and faculty members at USC’s annual Student Government Conference, to be held on campus tomorrow.
Sue McBurney, ASSC vice president and conference coordinator, has scheduled a realistic, rather than philosophi-; cal program that will cover specific trouble spots.
Parking areas and fees, com-munication between student government and university administrators, student government and campus workers salaries, will be among the topics inspected and evaluated at the conference.
60 Students “The entire ASSC administrative arm, formed last year to regulate student activities, will be represented at the conference,” Mrs. McBurney said.
More than 60 student officials, including members of the Executive Cabinet, Senate, classes and committees, will attempt to ‘bridge the gap’ Detween students and administrators through improved communications and a more inclusive program of student services,” she said.
A panel discussion on communications will follow breakfast and introductions by ASSC President Hugh Helm and Mrs.

Officer Cites Non-Student Area Crime
Crimes in the USC area usually are not committed by students, officer Manuel Gutierrez, of the University Division police station, stated yesterday.
Officer Gutierrez said that it is usually students w'ho are the victims rather than the offenders in local crimes.
His announcement was the result of close observation of police reports that involve the area .surrounding USC and the Row'.
"In the first half of 1961, 184 crimes were reported in this section,” he said, "the highest being the area of bicycle thefts with 61. Auto thefts and thefts from cars were next highest with 48.
Ranked Third
Burglaries ranked third with 43 while there w'ere only five felonious assaults, four robberies and one theft from person. There were 22 other miscellaneous thefts.
Comparing this area with the rest of the University Division,
Officer Gutierrez stated that the number of bicycle thefts, one of the major problem spots, is much higher than in nearby areas while the number of car thefts,
another critical area, is below'
that of the other parts of the division.
Officer Gutierrez explained that it is difficult to determine the extent of USC involvement in crimes committed in the area south of the campus because of the Coliseum, Sports Arena and the museums.
Much Activity
“There is too much activity going cn at these places which does not involve USC at all but does attract crime,” he said.
He reported, however, that it is relatively quiet when there is a USC sports event at the Coliseum as compared to occasions when professionals are performing.

Announcement of Dean Hurst’s address was made by Charles E. Fry, AIA chairman of the program advisory committee.
Dean Hurst,’s appearance at the convention will precede his official introduction as dean at USC. He will assume his new post in November.
The 40-year-old dean is a member of AIA and recently received a four-year appointment to the National Architectural Accreditation Board.
A graduate of Harvard University and Georgia Tech, he will replace Dean Arthur B. Gal-lion who accepted the position of director of planning for Har-land Bartholomew and Associates, city planners and engineers in Honolulu.
Dean Hurst, who joined the Auburn University faculty in 1957, comes to USC with high recommendations from Los Angeles architects and educators.
Included in the list of AIA convention speakers is William Zeckendorf, president of Webb and Knapp, New York real estate development company.
San Diego architect Frank L. Hope will preside at the convention.
Researcher Will Discuss Marine Life
Problems of interest to persons engaged in basic biological research with marine mammals will be discussed tonight at 8 in Hancock Auditorium by a wrorld-renowned authority on dolphins.
Dr. John C. Lilly of the Communications Research Institute of Santo Tomas, Virgin Islands, w ill present the lecture.
Dr. Lilly’s book, "Man and Dolphin,” has attracted wide attention among biologists. Involved for many years in research with the bottlenose dolphin, Dr. Lilly has recently been investigating commun i c a t i o n among dolphins.
He believes that one day it may be possible for humans to speak to other species, based, on
current experimental work with dolphins.
Science has been particularly interested in these mammals because of their agility, speed and apparent intelligence, according to Dr. Leslie A. Chambers, director of the sponsoring Hancock Foundation.
“On the Waterfront,” featuring Academy Award - winning performances by Marlon. Brando and Eva Marie Saint, will be the Fall Film Festival’s presentation tonight at 8 in 133 FH. Admission will be 50 cents.
Appearing with Brando and Miss Saint in tonight’s film, winner of eight Academy Awards, will be Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger and Pat Henning.
Misunderstanding
Due to a misunderstanding in negotiations with its distributor, Delta Kappa Alpha cinema fraternity, sponsor of the festival, has had to revise its original schedule of films. The fraternity now plans to present an international film series which had originally been scheduled for the spring semester, Publicity Director Len Miller reported.
Films now' slated for the remaining Friday evenings in October include "Umberto D” and "The Golden Age of Comedy,” an anthology series of the high points from many famous comedy films.
Three Films
DKA has scheduled three presentations for November, “Street of Shame,” a Japanese film; "Tumbleweeds,” a classic of the silent era; and “Pal Joey',” a technicolor adaptation of the Broadway musical, Miller said.
Films to be shown in December will be “Auto Race” and other representative works of Charlie Chaplin; “Curious Adventures of Mr. Wonderbird ”
tary Maryalice Herrick, AWS President Kay Yunker, Public Relations Head Konnie Wells and Communications Senator Diane Riley.
Study Problems
Student government representatives will re-hash the communication problems, with emphasis on their individual difficulties, after the panel discussion.
“Communication problems have always existed between the ASSC and the student, within the AiSC itself and between the faculty and student government,” Mrs. McBumev noted. “We hope some realistic suggestions for improvement will develop from these talks.”
Inter-organization and student-campus public relations Will also be surveyed by the leaders under the topic of improved communications.
total of four Shore scholarships in the Medical School.
Dean Loosli commended Shore for h. i generosity in establishing tiie. scholarships, noting that the funds have been made available as a personal contribution.
"This personal philanthropy constitutes an outstanding example for those who wish to see the cause of medical education and medical knowledge advanced,” dean Loosli said.
Cost of Education "The cost of a medical education in our inflated times has made it impossible for some deserving and able students to pursue a medical career,” he continued. "As a result, the profession is losing potentially fine doctors to other fields where the training is shorter and less costly.” .
The dean said that one possible way to help correct this expense situation is scholarship

into conferences on specific problems relating to their own areas after the group discussion.
Members of the Executive Cabinet will discuss their position in realtionship to the rest of the students at USC and to student government in general to find ways to avoid becoming self-centered, the vice president said.
Looking For Trouble
“We're going to look for trouble before it find us. There are areas where problems exist that we haven't even discovered y et,” Mrs. McBurney explained. “We've simply got to make an attempt to avoid future trouble that could creep up in student (Continued on Page 2)
Dr. Loosli added that the school especially appreciates the unqualified nature of Shore s donation.
“The only condition is that the awards be m? le to ‘deserving’ students.” the dean said. "This means that our admission committee is completely free to select the recipients on the basis of ability, character and financial need.”
Shore's interest in medical education and research has made him active in a number of other Southland philanthropic organizations. He is a member of the board of trustees of the City of Hcpe and a supporter of Mt. Sinai and Cedars of Lebanon hospitals.
Symphony Season to Open With Liszt Commemoration
USC's Symphony Orchestra will commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of composer Franz Liszt by playing his symphonic poem, "Les Preludes,” to open the concert season Sunday night at 8:30 in Bovard Auditorium.
Abo on the program will be the premiere performance of the Symphony in One Movement by USC composer Robert Linn and w'orks by Alban Berg and Brahms.
Linn, assistant professor of theory on the USC music faculty, has also composed the march for the Winter Olympics and arranged the finals to last year’s Songfest.
He describes the symphony,
which he finished last month, as beginning and ending quietly, with five sections labeled adagio, allegro, andante, allegro and recapitulation, consisting of two contrasting moods in alteration.
Section I and Section III are broad and expressive and stem from two musical ideas announced the opening. Sections II and IV are also related thematically and are dance-like in character. The closing section is a recapitulation in which the melodic material of the earlier sections is combined and extended.
Eudice Shapiro, a member of the faculty of the School of Music, will be featured in a violin solo with the orchestra in the
Concerto for Violin and Orchestra by Berg.
Closing the concert will be the Symphony No. 3 in F major by Brahms.
Other events on this semester' s music schedule include Stravinsky's “The Rake's Progress,” Verdi's “M a c b e t h,” Bach’s “St. Matthew Passion.” Handel’s “Julius Caesar” and a series of noon concerts.
Concerts by the Trojan Symphonic Band, a faculty concert series, chamber concerts, choral programs, a number of student recitals and a lecture series covering such topics as compositions for motion pictures and techniques of composition hav® also been scheduled.
