USC Dean Sees Cultural Changes
“Our whole campus is in transition,” said Raymond Kendall dean of the School of Music and chairman of the Faculty Committee on Cultural Events, which sponsored the Four Preps concert last night.
“The intellectual and cultural climate of this campus can be shifted both in emphasis and in quality if the committee is given the go-ahead with its plan,” Kendall continued.
The committee functions both as a whole and through two subcommittees. One subcommittee manages recitals, concerts, drama and art shows. The other subcommittees regulate academic and informal convocations.
The operational functions and budgets of tlie
committee are governed by the Office of Special Events.
The committee hopes to focus more attention on all-university events offered to the students, faculty and friends of the university, Kendall explained.
Members of the committee, which has served the university for 10 years, are faculty members appointed by the University Senate.
Kendall is assisted by Faul Bloland, dean of students; Martha Boaz, dean of library science; Joseph Boskin. assistant professor of history and James Butler, drama professor; also Paul Hadley, dean of the summer session; Charles Hadwin, assistant profesor of sociology; Robert Simha, (Continued on Page 2)

Four Preps Sing, Joke tor Trojans
By VINCENT LAURICELLA
Nearly 800 finger-snapping students and guests listened and laughed to the fabulous Four Preps in Bovard Auditorium last night.
The curtain rose, 15 minutes late, to the rhythmic jazz of the Marty Harris Trio.
The trio, composed of Marly Harris (piano), Ray Neopolitan (bass), and Bill Goodwin (drums) opened with three numbers to put the audience in the “swing of things.”
The Four Preps began their show with a comical rendition of “Heart and Soul” featuring the antics of Bruce Belland.
As the others were beging introduced, he kept insisting he was nervous. At one point he excitedly exclaimed, “Let’s get the hell out of here!”
The crowd kept laughing as the quartet threw them successive quips.
“We like to come out for a worthy cause,” they announced. “We un-
derstand you’re sending CARE packages to Westwood High.”
Belland offered this translation to “La Cucaracha”: Two male cockroaches worked in a Mexican factory. One day a female cockroach named Suzv came to work in the factory, and both male cockroaches fell in love with her.
So one night Burnie (a Jewish cockroach) crawled up to Suzy, who was sitting in the moonlight, and said to her “What’s a nice girl like you doing at an affair like a TEP party anyway?”
The second half wasn’t as lucky. In the middle of “We Don’t Give a Hootenanny,” a parodv on Peter. Paul and Mary, the main spotlight temporarily failed.
The program ended with a medley of their hits, including “2(5 Miles.” “Down by the Station.” “Such a Lazy Summer Night,” and “Big Man Yesterday.”
The quartet was called back for an encore and Ed Cobb obliged with his rendition of “Up the Lazy River.”

Center Examines Juvenile Problems
CHINESE AGGRESSION
Nehru s Sister Promises Fight
A series of research projects focusing on juvenile rehabilitation. high school dropouts, delinquent gangs and other adolescent behavior problems, is currently being conducted by the Youth Studies Center.
The center, partially sponsored by CSC. has used the skills of social scientists to carry on research since its establishment by a $700,000 Ford Foundation grant in 1958.
A second five-year Ford grant of $656,000 given in 1963, extended the center's research on the problems of juvenile delinquency and other forms of deviant behavior.
“The problem of the center is especially acute because its position has not been entirely traditional.’’ Dr. LaMar T. Empey, sociologist and director of the center, explained.
“On one hand, it has conducted basic research and attempted to integrate its functions with the university.
“On the other hand, it has conducted experimental re-

search and training in the community in an attempt to study pressing community problems while remaining objective.”
The Youth Studies Center is involved in several projects pertaining to juvenile delinquency.
One of these, in conjunc-
tion with the Boys’ Republic, is the establishment of an ex-perimental community resi-i dence for delinquents.
Boys in this program par-: ticipate with adults in solving their problems, exerting, controls and making decisions.
Ordinarily, boys are assigned to the Republic, a privatej correctional institution, 12 to months before their release. Subjects are assigned to the experimental residences after only two months at the Republic.
Random Selection
The center compares the progress of these patients with that of a control group selected at random.
“In so doing, we hope to test the basic assumptions of the program and determine whether in fact the gulf between offenders and officials

There will be no Chinese in India as long as there is an Indian left to fight them off, Mrs. Krishna Nehru Hutheesing pledged yesterday.
Speaking at a special university convocation, the sister and secretary of the late Indian Prime Minister Jawa-harlal Nehru said, “There isn't a youngster over 13 who will not lay down his life to keep the Chinese out of India.”
First Pledge | She said the Red Chinese had betrayed the Indian government's trust and neutrality so they could show their power and might by catching India in surprise.
Mrs. Hutheesing traced her brother's life from the time “we first pledged to fight for freedom, no matter what the cost,” to the Chinese aggression. “his greatest tragedy.”
‘He was India. India was him; he loved India. India loved him.
Indian Idol
“He was the idol of the Indian people.” she reminisced.
She said the two policies— for which her brother both was praised and criticized were neutrality and progress.
"We never have, we are not now, and we never will sit on the fence." " she said.
“We follow the policy of neutrality as a policy deep in Indian tradition, to avoid all fighting and wars.
"But at the same time we will work for the preservation of peace through all the world.”
Mrs. Hutheesing said India had wanted to be friends with Red China, just as with Russia, England and America, but when India stretched out its hands in friendship, the Chinese grasped them with aggression.
Enemies Are Friends Referring to the British, who she claimed "unfortunately are always trying to partition something off,” Mrs. Hutheesing said , "Even though we all wanted to drown them, they are among our best friends now.”
She also thanked America for its aid and friendship, "not only now but also when we were fighting for ireedom.
“Since we consider you among our greatest friends, we hope you will help in the future as you have helped us in the past.”
She saw the future, as she saw the past 15 years, as filled with progress.
India Progressing “My brother wanted an India progressing in every sphere.” she related.
“And I think it has progressed far more than any other country in Asia, mainiy due to his force.”
Mrs. Hutheesing said India has the most stable government in Asia today, but she was wary of a recent trend (Continued on Pas;e 2)

morrow and will perform during the noon hour. The two groups are made up of all university teachers and students.
A project which explores medical facilities in the South will be discussed at noon today at the Los Angeles County General Hospital.
Dr. H. Jack Geiger, assistant professor of public health at Harvard, will speak on i "The Mississippi Project: Medicine in a Closed Society" in the hospital’s acute unit.
The program is part of a new USC Medical Student Forum series open to the public.
Dr. Geiger, who spent seven months studying in Africa, is also director for the Delta Ministry of the National Council of Churches.
.Mississippi Project
The Mississippi Project, sponsored by the Medical Committee For Human Rights, is supported by the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee, the Congress of Racial Equality, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
The project was organized to explore the medical facilities and conditions of the South, especially Mississippi.
La Flore, Mississippi, has
an equal percentage of Negro and white population (50Tf each) but there are 21 white doctors and only one Negro doctor, said Bill Bronsten. information spokesman for the forum.
Mississippi has only four state-run hospitals, each with segregated facilities and with virtually no charity cas'es handled, he added.
Death Rate High
The Negro death rate in 1960 was higher than the white death rate in 1913 and infant mortality among Negroes is more than twice that of whites, he added.
“There is an extreme need for health and sex education in the South." Bronston said. “Most Negroes can't afford to have their children born in a hospital (even if they could get admitted). They have a mid-wife system. Prior to the time of birth, the woman can request a state licensed midwife. A license i3 issued after a woman watches three deliveries by another licensed mid-wife. But if a pre-natal examination shows any form of abnormality or disease, the woman is refused. She must go it alone.”
