By LARRY FISHER Daily Trojan City Editor
President Norman Hawkins Topping, a man who has made contributions to the fields of science, medicine and education, told more than 60 of SC's academically honored students Friday that the men who shall be honored in the coming scientific age will be those who continue to make outstanding contributions to their era.
“The general public has now realized that our very survival is dependent upon the development of new ideas,” he told the gathering of Trojans, parents and faculty at the annual scholarship convocation in Bovard Auditorium.
Honors New Ideas Pointing out that cultures have always honored those individuals who developed new ideas which were of value to their age, he declared that probably the most important area for the development of these ideas in our time is that of basic research.
“Studies of the essential nature of things, whether they involve the living cell or the nucleus of the atom, are now accepted far more widely as a leading source of our national strength than they were only a few years ago,” he said.
Independent Scientists
Troy’s chief executive pointed to the growing independence of our foreign scientists as one ’of the healthiest things to come out of America’s explorations in basic research.
"The U.S. government this year‘will spend more than $5 billion on research, engineering and development,” he
said. "This is substantially more '
than was spent in the entire four in terms of national manpower decades following the turn of the j lost during the cold war, this eenturv and more than the total Federal budget of a generation
ago.”
Private Study
Dr. Topping pointed out that most of this money will be spent in laboratories owned and operated by universities, industry and other private groups, with less than half of the federal research and development budget being allocated to government
laboratories.
He decried the fact that only 6 per cent of the government’s total research and development budget is earmarked for basic research, however. The remainder going for such things as '“ballistic missiles, jet planes.
Daily Trojan Photo bv Bob Holste TO THE VICTOR BELONGS THE - Winning Candidates Trish Dwyer, new ASSC vice president, and Wally Kara-bian, 1959-60 ASSC president, confer over the election results which gave them a victory last Friday. Both winners will hold the ASSC Senate reins as student government tries to solve some of their basic problems. Karabian won over Mike Thomson, polling 62% of the student votes. Miss Dwyer won a close decision over Lynn Husted.
MUN To Consider World Situation
means that nearly two million high school students in the upper half of their graduating classes never enter college.
Demand Increases
The challenge of supplying a sufficient number of college teachers during the next 11 J years also faces us, he said, because a supply approximately twice the size of that we now have will be needed in 1970.
In science, too- the number of educators is falling. "In 1930, 50 i per cent of all scientists were employed by universities, while :today only 20 per cent are on college faculties despite the fact that there are now five times as many scientists as 1here were
satellites, nuclear reactors and j 25 years ago,” he said.

others.
Low Expenditures
“It is obvious, therefore, that the field of basic research is still somewhat undernourished,” he said, recommending that expenditures in this field be increased.
He noted, however, that the increased interest of the American people in science, has made our citizens even more aware of our future needs in this area.
Need Teachers
“We know that there are not enough people going into teaching — esoeoially in the areas of mathematics and science,” he said.
In addition, he asserted that “we may have missed the boat some place along the line” in our educational system as a whole.
Few Graduate
“It is disturbing to realize that only 40 per cent of those students entering college graduate in four years,” he said. “And even more distressing is the fact that annually an estimated 200-(»00 high school graduates of verv high caliber fail to enter college.”
Dr. Topping pointed out that
Honor Others
He warned, however, that simply because we are living in an age of science, where main concerns are for the scientific, we must not take it for granted that we should honor only the scientist.
“We must constantly remember'that the great cultures of the past were periods of history which included a harmonious relationship between science and the humanities,” he said, pointing to the Greek Age and the Renaissance as periods where the arts and sciences flourished together.
What Is Science?
“We must be certain, however. that those people in the humanities today become aware of what science really is,” he said, “so they can continue their scholarly pursuits in a well-informed environment.
“We must also make the scientist aware of all of life.” be said, “and especially the humanities — and we must do this in a scientific era when many people have come to look at the humanities as an outmoded luxury.”
The importance of the Model United Nations lies primarily in its ability to stimulate research on contemporary international issues, George Young, MUN secretary general, said Friday at the MUN headquarters.
“As each delegate prepares himself for his role, he intensely studies the position of his coun-try*on the issues before his committee or council. This real life situation must be mastered by the student before he is able to debate its merits. Academic research is a major justification of MUN,” Young said.
Ninth Session
SC will host the ninth annual session of the Model United Nations starting Wednesday. Students from 76 colleges and universities in the western states will be on campus until Saturday to discuss national and international issues.
Besides the delegates- more than 400 SC students will be motilized to provide service for the secretariat. Young stated.
Financial Expenditures “We have reached a point in MUN where our best estimates place the financial expenditure for this session at more than $50.000. The man hours of work invested by the secretariat and particinpating schools are incal-cuable,” he said.
Young said that considering the financial and human investments and the community interest. he sees a need to clarify the justification for the institution.
Thought Stimulation “One of the goals of MUN is the stimulation of original thought,” he said, “and I think
we achieve this goal in greater abundance than education does.” The student delegate to the Model United Nations has an opportunity to imporvise, to seek possible alternatives and to estimate the reaction of his country to new situations, the secretary ! general said.
“Bes ides original thought r MUN provides an experience in the art of negotiation,” Young i said.
As each delegate arrives with the position of his country firmly established in his mind, he ! participates in multilateral diplomacy and is forced to defend his position and negotiate for | itfs adoption.
Another justification of MUN, ! j Yaung pointed out, is that it pro- j motes a better understanding of | the real UN.
“As the UN is reproduced in j a very exact manner and as the j charter is studied with great j care, its strengths and weaknes- ' | ses do not long evade the mas- | 1 tery of the student.” he said.
| “It is not for MUN to attempt 1 to guide the student delegate to any one conclusion, but to pre- I sent a legitimate replica of the j UN and let each student decide j for himself as to the merits involved.” Young stated.
Th ree Views Aired Today
Of 1859 U.S.
The 1859 America seen by | three English writers will be the theme of today’s noon reading to be given by Ronald Freeman. assistant professor of English in 129 FH.
“Mr. Vessey of England.” a British busineessman’s diary of his U.S. tour 100 years ago will I occupy the main part of today's I program as 1859 views on slav- ! ery are discussed.
“Domestic Manners of Ameri- , cans,” written by the mother of famous novelist Anthony Trollop, is the second work to be featured as a middle class Englishwoman's views of the same period are reviewed. In particu- ; lar, the authoress’ description of 1 religious revival meetings of a century ago will be highlighted, i
In addition, selections from; Charles Dickens’ “American Notes for General Circulation,” an account of the classic writers’ j violent disapproval of slavery, will also be read.	i
Dwyer, Barnes And Phillips Get Other Top Posts
By JOE SALTZMAN
Junior Class President Wally Karabian swept into the ASSC presidency Friday defeating his opponent Mike Thomson by a margin of nearly 600 votes.
Karabian received 1507 votes to Thomson’s 909 as 2615 SC students went to the polls during the three-day voting period.
Dwyer Victory
Senator-at-Large Trish Dwyer’s 1350 to 1098 victory over Lynn Husted in the vice presidential race, indicated that the students were voting for senatorial experience in their top student body offices rather than the “new faces” in student government.
Marrianne Arrington was elected Senator No. 1 and Harold Fong, Larry Young, Ron Goodgame, M. Gene Brooks, Kay Steltenkamp, Mardi Wulfsteig, Don Kelley and Joe Nida were voted into the remaining nine senator positions.
Chuck Phillips, senior member of the Yell Team, was elected leader by a 627 margin over Yell Leader Barney Rosenzweig-endorsed Jerry Sherman.
Barnes Wins
With a total of 1191 juniors voting for their council president, Dayle Barnes squeaked by Earl Kelly, 533 to 479 in one of the closest of the ASSC races.
Judy Ferguson received 523 votes—only one vote over the needed majority victory—to become senior class vice president. Opponents Jane Keil and Ann Cattern got 276 and 237 in what probably will be a contested race since 147 ballots were declared void because of voter's carelessness in filling out the ballot.
Bill Steigerwalt, greater university chairman, won an easy 393 to 155 victory over Kent Richards for the Junior class presidency.
605 Voting: Sophomores
Only 6’05 sophomores voted for their next year’s president and Bobbie Furbass won her uncontested vice presidency by a hearty 428 votes.
A special runoff will be held between Sophomore class president candidates Dave Gaon (156 votes) and Hugh Helm (196 votes) when freshman students did not give either candidate the necessary majority to win. Sue Hartford. vice president, won easily with 359 votes.
Stevie Adams was elected the ASSC secretary position with 1812 votes. She ran unopposed.
AMS ‘Gunn’
Mike Loshin (1142), Ted Schmidt (1151) and Don Wal-lerstein 1084), running unopposed for AMS offices, only had trouble from write-in-candiates ranging from Peter Gunn (39 votes) to Donald Duck (2 votes) when 1176 male students voted.
Independent Men’s Representative was awarded to Tony Mendez and Cherrylee Worden won Independent Women’s Reprsentative.
Sharon Williams received 910 votes as she ran unopposed and won the LAS presidency. Walt Judson was elected to the vice presidency by receiving 854 votes out of the 1112 LAS voters.
Engineer Winner
Engineering Presidency was won by Alan Widiss as Bill von KleinSmid received the vice presidency. Only 230 Engineering students voted for their council leaders.
Jack Karp was elected as Commerce president and Jo Anne Nootbaar won the vice presidency in a close 299 to 153 victory over Virginia Perry.
General polling areas will be opened Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to allow Public Administration and International Relations voters to elect their officials.
Thieves Swipe Car, Property
Worth $340
Two foreign students lost more than $340 worth of property last week when a thief broke into their residence and took two cameras and a tape recorder.
Om. P. Rustoi and Satish K. Gupta reported to Los Angeles police that they left their apartment to attend class and re-urned around noon to find the front door of the residence opened. Missing were a movie camera worth ¡5126- a still camera worth $73 and a tape recorder worth $150 for a total of $349.
Officers said the tblef apparently pried off a window screen and climbed through the unlocked window into the students’ bedroom where the valuables were kept.
Another theft victim last week was Enid Simmons, 19, Alpha Phi. She told officers that she left her purse lying on a table in Doheney Library, where a thief took her waller containing $2.75 in change. Total loss, including the wallet, was $10.25.

Newly-Elect States Plans
A jubliant Wally Karabian,
; newlv elected ASSC president, stated that “Future elections | will have much more interest to the student body because of an expected expansion of campaign ! privileges,” after his victory | Friday.	,
“I feel that every voter had an awareness of things that I stand for and the action I plan j to take with the senate next year. At the present time I feel that the SC student government is in a deep state of depression, and that it will take emergency action if anything is going to be accomplished.
“For students who are not sure of my plans, they need only look back at my platform to see what action I will take next year. I plan to follow it closely, for this is why I was elected and that is exactly what I intend to
do.
“I also feel that the student body will be very pleased that many of the campus political leaders will be retiring to private life and out of the SC scene ” he said.
“At the start of my term I plan to present a ’State of Campus Conditions’ address to the student body. I will also do th<» (Continued on Faje Z)
