HEBREW UNION COLLEGE
Bugliosi ascribes killings Alliance cited to philosophy of Manson
The close alliance between the Hebrew Union College and USC was cited by Chancellor Norman Topping at a Beverly Hills Hotel banquet yesterday prior to Friday's dedication of the new Jewish Institute of Religion.
Dr. Topping said that the alliance started six years ago when the late Nelson Glueck was president of the college in Hollywood and he (Topping! was president of USC.
“Dr. Glueck. who died last February, had written his doctoral dissertation in German in 1927 on ‘Hesed in the Bijple' and it was translated four decades later by Alfred Gottschalk. then dean of the Hebrew college and now president of the institute.
“If you are familiar with the meanings of ‘hesed' as they developed over the centuries, then you know that one of these is ‘reciprocal aid —mutual assist-
Council
The proposal to establish judicial advocates for the ASSC Student Court will be considered by the ASSC Executive Council at 5 p.m. todav in Student Union 311.
The three advocates will bring cases to the court and aid the contending parties in court. The proposal is expected to be in the form of an ASSC bylaw, which takes a two-thirds majority for passage.
In other business concerning the judiciary, the council will consider the court's newest set of procedures for approval. The procedures were given to the council two weeks ago.
Council members will also review the latest developments in the constitutional convention. which the council voted last week to call. The 22 voting members and the senior class president are to select two dele-
ance and kindness.” said Dr. Topping.
He added that this word from Biblical times fittingly applies to the relationship that has been nurtured between the two schools.
‘‘In our hesed’ relationship, stressed the chancellor, “we can share much of our resources. we can learn much from one another, and we can combine our efforts to help mankind . ”
Also indicative of the close HUC-USC alliance, noted Dr. Topping, was that Gottschalk s translation of “Hesed in the Bible” had an introduction by Gerald LaRue, professor of religion at USC.
All the banquet guests will be present at Friday's dedication ceremonies for the Hebrew institute. where Gottschalk will make the consecration address and the guest speaker will be President John Hubbard.

gates each for the convention, for a total of 46.
Lee Blackman, vice-president for academic affairs and sponsor of last week's motion for a convention, said that despite the original deadline today for selection of delegates, it was probable that not all of the council members have selected their delegates yet.
The council is also scheduled to hear a report from Carl Middleton. ASSC treasurer, on the proposed $370 tuition increase for next year, and the university's projected financial situation. Middleton was the only student member of the university's ad hoc Tuition and Fees Committee when the tuition proposal was made.
Budgetary business will also be considered, including a request by the ASSC's Troy Week Committee for an increase in its budget.
“The seven Tate-La Bianca murders were some of the most horrendous in American history,” said Vincent Bugliosi. the prosecutor of the Tate-La Bianca murder trial, in a speech yesterday in Bovard Auditorium.
Discussing the motives behind the murders, the deputy district attorney attributed them to the character and personal philosophy of Charles Manson.
“Manson had a very morbid fascination with death and killing.” he said. “Manson said that death was beautiful, and often talked of killing people.”
Bugliosi also said that Manson's extremely antiestablishment feelings were an important factor in the killings. “Very obviously, the plush Tate residence was a symbol of the establishment for Manson." he said.
The most bizarre motive, claimed Bugliosi. was Manson's attempt to start a black-white race war by trying to make the murders look as if they were committed by black militants.
“Manson was an avid follower of the Beatles and he claimed he found complete support for his philosophies in Beatle songs," said Bugliosi.
The words “helter-skelter" were written in blood at the La Bianca murder scene, he said. “According to the Beatle lyrics, this meant that the blacks would rise up and destroy the white race, except for the Manson family, of course, who would escape the holocaust by living out in the desert."
Bugliosi said Manson feels blacks are “subhuman and would be unable to govern themselves after they had taken power.
‘ That meant someone had to take the reins of power, for example. the Manson family,” said Bugliosi.
Although he admitted these motives were far-fetched.

Drama division enters 'The Dybbuk' in festival
The drama division has entered this year's nationwide American College Theater Festival competition with its first main-stage production of the season, “The Dybbuk.”
The play, which opened Tuesday and will continue through Saturday at 8 p.m. in Bovard Auditorium, will first be in local competition against other Southern California colleges, including UCLA and Los Angeles and Long Beach City Colleges.
Ultimately, ten plays from ten colleges in the nation will go to Washington. D. C., and to the newly-built John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts sometime next spring.
“Naturally, we d like to make it all the way to Washington, William C. White, associate professor of drama, said. “But even if we get no further than
Bovard. it’s good to get involved in the festival.”
White, who has worked with the festival since its beginning three years ago and who will be a regional chairman for the organization next year, said that this was not the first time USC had entered in festival competition. contrary to what was reported in Tuesday's Daily Trojan.
The festival. White said, is not as much a competition as it is a selection process. The country is divided into ten regions. In each region, three plays are selected from colleges involved for a regional festival.
Special national judges attend the regional festivals, and they select the ten plays for Washington from those that are seen. The judges might decide to take all three plays—-or none— from any region.
Bugliosi said, “For murders this bizarre, the motives would have to be equally bizarre.”
The prosecutor, however, does not feel the Manson murders were symptomatic of the counterculture movement.
“Manson and the murders were very, very unique.” said Bugliosi. “I believe you could search the world over and not find another group like Manson's family.”
