Senate Stalled On GREGORY, SAKAJIAN BATTLE
Changeover Plan ON ELECTION BLOCK CLAIMS
Lecture Series Argues Value Of Sociology
By GERRY REEVES
The drawn out dispute over the changing cf senators-£t-large to ‘‘directors” of a specific activity last night came no nearer to solution at the Senate meeting than when Senator-at-large Barbc.ra Meyers first presented the legis-
--------	’ -ion in September.
While the rest of ihe Senate divided into small discussions, ihe senators-at-large met in the ' S/udent Lounge in an attempt to solve the issue. Under the Iradcrshi poi Miss Myers, the senators haggled for an hour arriving at no conclusions hut ; simply turned the meeting into glorified “hull sessions.”
Favors Plan Miss Meyers again spoke in favor of adopting tlie director plan which would give each person a specific campaign and a i specific duty for which he is re-' sponsible. The directors would he in charge of academic life, finance, publicity, publications, orientation, social activity, student activity and spirit. Miss Meyers feels that the amalgamation of the vital areas in student life would increase the efficiency of the senators and make their obs more binding. Arkin Opposes Change Senator-at-large Stan Arkin proposed t hat rather than I change the set up of student government, they should utilize what they have. Arkin the pro-j ceeded to berate the Senators ! for the lack of work that has been accomplished this semester on the Senate and included himself in the non-working group. Arkin pleaded for the Sena-j tors to carry out their jobs un-| der the present set up of standing committees which the Senators lead and which, according to Arkin, ‘‘defy definiiton.” ‘Amalgamtion Imperative’
The amalgamation of student government at SC is imperative, according to Senator Larry Lichtv. He pointed out that-the candidates for student office should have concrete ideas on the job they wish to undertake. A re-organizing of the standing committees would aid in properly organizing SC's student government, Lichty added.
Senator Mike Loshin mentioned many nebulous position's on the Senate which overlap and slow down the efficiency of the Senate. Loshin added that the director plan has its merits but a definite organization of this proposal would be difficult to put into actual operation.
Loshin argued that the idea of students running for directorship has an advantage if the voters would carefully analyze the qualification of the person running for the office.
Ideals Not Highest Arkin blasted back, “If we all analyzed why we ran for office. I’m sure he would find that our motives were less than ideal.”
As the senators, onp by one left the discussion, it slowed down and died without arriving closer to a solution.
A friendl.v argument concerning the prediction of human behavior patterns arose between professors of sociology Edward C' McDonough and John E. Nordskog yesterday when they opened the new LAS lecture series “Exploring the Liberal Arts.”
C arecrs in sociology was the main topic of the lecture. The iwo professors digressed long enough to argue whether human behavior can be predicted and controlled.
Dr. M c D o nagh maintained that with the use of some special background data or new in-Mrumcpts ihe possibilities of success in predicting behavior will be greatly increased. However, once such behavior pat-1-vns have been established, psychological help can be given to Ihe person needing it before it is too late to correct the prob.em, he said.
Human Robot
“Of course, on the other hand, we don't want to become the Aldous Huxley predictable type oi human robot.” he added.
Dr. Nordskog disagreed, saying he didn't believe “any instrument can determine future human behavior under any circumstances!”
Speaking on careers in*sociology. Dr. McDonagh stated that there were many , opportunities for jobs in sociology for the student with an adequate background. “Both federal and state agencies, as well as private organizations employ large numbers of sociologists," he said.
The Department of Labor has many sociologists working for it in the field of labor relations, while the State Department also uses them to train Americans going abroad to work for the government.
Endless Opportunities
“The p anning commissions of many cities have large numbers of sociologists on their staff doing census work.” Dr. McDonagh ftated. “Also, thei-e are endless opportunities in county probationary work, especially in the fields of correction, parole and research.”
He said that many private groups employ sociologists, too. “For instance, Rand Corporation nlone has 60 sociologists working to determine how much man power is needed in national defense.
According to Dr. Nordskog. a large percentage of the jobs onen to sociologists in California qi-r> fiitpH bv SC Graduates.

Gregory suggested that the A-SSC Senate rewrite the Bylaws to include a definition of the term “budget.”

Approximately 40 people from both SC and UCLA explained how they were handling the game from their various standpoints.

He added that disciplinary action would be taken against any SC students who get out of line. “Many rivalries have had to be given up when the actions of few got out of hand,” he explained. “We feel quite confident that SC students will conduct themselves as true Trojans.”

FOR CHILDREN
SC Faculty Senate Seeks Tuition Plan
SC’s Faculty Senate voted unanimously at its last meeting to request SC participation in a free tuition exchange program for children of faculty members.
This measure, if approved by President Norman Topping, would improve the economic status of SC employees by’ making their children eligible for free tuition to one of the many institutions participating in Tuition Exchange, pointed out Law Prof. Carl Franklin, chairman of the F'aculty Senate.
Tuition Exchange is a non-profit corporation governed by a board of directors, which meets once a year. It promotes and administers reciprocal tuition payments for children of employees of educational institutions. It also pursues other means of raising the status of educational employees. The central policy of Tuition Exchange is to assist each member in effecting a balance between exports of its own children and imports of children from other institutions.
Originating in 1929, the idea failed to gain momentum.until 1947 when Dean Robert R. Brooks of Williams College worked out the principal policies and procedures for a faculty children’s tuition exchange. In 1952, Prof. Frank Lee, from Columbia School of Engineering, presented the idea at a meeting of 15 northeastern colleges held in Albany, N.Y. Enthusiastic support for the idea was immediately apparent and by November of that year, 41 institutions had joined, Dr. Franklin said.
In 1954. Tuition Exchange incorporated under Massachusetts law and by 1956, membership had increased to 207,
Professor Franklin further stated that eligibility for membership is open to all non-profit educational institutions.-When admitted, each member institution appoints a liaison officer whose duties are to report problems and attitudes of his institutions and to keep a list of eligible children.
There are no special qualities a child must have under Tuition Exchange, but normal admission standards do apply.

Dynamic Statements
Queen Frederika. noted for her democratic statements, “We are not to be served but to serve and we must put ourselves at the disposal of the people,’’ speaks English well and uses many American slang words. Vernon Pizer, one of her biographers, says that King Paul regards Her Majesty’s slang expressions as the "Queen's English.”

Graduate Student Representative Wes Gregory and Elections Commissioner Juanita Sakajian clashed yesterday over the question of whether Miss Sakajian attempted to obstruct Gregory’s recent election.
In a post-Board of Protest discussion. Gregory explained he was told by a close friend Gerry Reeves, that Miss Sakajian didn’t want him elected. Miss Sakajian denied the charges.
Reeves said, “Juanita told me ‘we have got to do something about this guy Gregory.’ ” He added that he had five witnesses to the fact that Miss Sakajian tried to prevent Gregory’s election, but he did not reveal their names.
Denies Block
Miss Sakajian said she made np attempt to interfere with Gregory's election.
“Wes told me that Gerry had said I didn’t want him to be elected'’ she said. “But, senator-at-large Mike Donohew was present when I confronted Gerry with this charge and Gerry then said he didn't say it.”
Gregory asserted that Miss Sakajian. throughout the campaigns. did everything in her power to obstruct his campaign.
During the voting he said she would not let him “go anywhere near the Park” where the voting was taking place. Other candidates, however, were not prevented from entering the area, he pointed out.
Withheld Information
“Miss Sakajian also wouldn't let me see or have any information about the voting progress.”
Gregory charged, “while other candidates were allowed to see those reports.”
Miss Sakajian said that prior to the elections, she did want to | see Gregory and ‘w ondered if he would make a good Graduate Students Representative’ because of his application.
"I wanted to know his true reasons for running because of his application and past activities.” she said.
To the charge that she tried to keep Gregory from being elected. Miss Sakajian said. “Because I did not know either candidate, I did not try to push either of them.”
Submits Claims
This issue came into play when Gregory submitted a complaint to the Board of Protest against Miss Sakajian. The Board of Protests ruled in favor of Miss Sakajian and unfavorably on Gregory’s complaint.
The complaint alleged that Miss Sakajian did ‘deliberately and with prejudice’ define the word “budget” tin the Bylaws and Elections Rules) in such a manner as to declare Wes Gregory in violation’ of those rules.
S4 fine had been levied against Gregory for failing to subbit a
budget of his campaign expenses ; World of the Mind, Monday

upheld Miss Sakajian s definition and “budget” was denned as ‘a statement of income and expense involving monies regardless of whether any actual money changed hands.’
Members of the Board of Protest were Mike Donohew, chairman; Mardy O’Mara. Larry Lichty and Kathy Neimeyer. Dud Johnson, 'activities advisor, acted as advisor to the Board.
