Speakers' Policy Reconsidered
Mowrer
Remains
Ousted
Darrell Johnson and John Sullivan were reinstated in the ASSC presidential contest at the Board of Inquiry meeting yesterday. The committee also put Chuck Arrobio, sen-ior class presidential candidate. in the running again.
Presidential candidate Glen Mowrer’s appeal was turned down by the group on the grounds that he is a graduate student.
M^'rer said he would appeal the board's decision to the Student Activities Committee.
“The action of the board is simply typical of the inability of student leaders to cope with the realities of student problems,” Mowrer said.
Mowrer Explains
“You have to have completed 90 units of college work before you're eligible to run for president, but I graduate from Law School after 88 units.
“A person must have completed two years of university training before he can be admitted to law school. Those prelaw units are an integral part of my record.”
In reply to Mowrer’s charges. Tom Thie, chairman of the Election Board of Inquiry. said. “His contention is that he is eligible to run for the presidency because he it an undergraduate in law. If, however, we accept this criterion as the basis for ruling on his eligibility, we must also apply the requirement that he shall have completed two academic years of study in the field of law.
Inconsistency Cited
“He has not done this.
“He maintains that he is eligible in one instance because he is an undergraduate in law. However, he maintains at the same time that he has met the two-year requirement by the studies he completed for his bachelor of arts degree. which he received in political science in 1962.
“The Board felt that this inconsistency warranted his disqualification.” Thie concluded.
Johnson and Arrobio, both disqualified for having insufficient university credit, were reinstated.
“The board felt that the 90-unit regulation should be employed more as a guideline rather than as an absolute rule," Thie commented.
John Sullivan was put back into the campaign pending the release of the fall all-university grade point average. He was disqualified on the basis of last spring’s all-university average.

Criticized
By ELLIOT ZWIEBACH
The adage “Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it” is applicable to a problem now faced by the ASSC Senate.
Everybody talks about improving it but nobody has really done anything about it. And when somebody finally tries, nothing comes of it.
A vote on the problem of next year's Senate enrollment was the purpose of an ASSC Senate meeting scheduled for last night. But it was cancelled for lack of a quorum.
Only Nine Came
“This was to be one of our most important meetings of the year, and only nine people came,” Senate President Brooke Gabrielson said last night.

Trustees
Change
Stand
By GREG HILL Editorial Director
The Board of Trustees yesterday voted by a large majority to redefine the university’s policies regulating students’ freedom of speech and freedom of political organization.
The board accepted in principle a statement submitted by the Faculty Senate's Executive Committee.
According to the statement, any speaker or student group which represents an “academic, cultural or social-recreational contribution to the life of the campus” is now welcome on campus.
Policy Unofficial The new policy is not yet official, for the university’s legal counsel must examine and revise the writing of the statement for possible adverse legal implications.
President Topping said the Board of Trustees’ action provided the university with a ; ‘procedural arrangement for i regulation of student organizations, for approval to bring j speakers on^ampus and for establishment of a family I forum.”

Hoover Plan Asks Restoration of Area
By CiREG O’BRIEN
(Editor's note: In response to a petition circulating at USC supporting the Hoover Project, the Daily Trojan will present this two-part report on the specifics of the proposal.)
At the turn of the century, USC was surrounded by fine homes, shops, palm trees and much open land. Now 65 years later, much of that same area has deteriorated into rooming houses, ugly tenements and dangerous intersections.
The change, typical o most older neighborhoods, was watched with growing concern by the city government and tbe university until Jan.
18, 1963, when Mayor Yorty established the Hoover Urban Renewal Advisory Committee.
The Hoover Redevelopment Project, after months of heated controversy, proposes a giant program of urban renewal to be sponso^d by government and private enterprise. The completion date is scheduled for the mid-1970s.
Sell Private Property
The program, under the direction of the Community Redevelopment Agency, calls for 177 acres of existing private property surrounding the university to be sold to the agency for cash sums.
The law requires that in*
dividual property, including improvements, be appraised as to its market value by two local independent appraisers.
The appraisals will then be reviewed by both experienced real estate personnel and the federal government.
Approximately 12.7 acres have been set aside for housing to be sold or rented to persons and families oi moderate income or less. Two sites will accommodate some 400 new, attractive, garden type apartments with antici-^
pated rental ranges of $85 to $125 per month.
An additional 950 condominium or cooperative apartment units will occupy a parklike setting, with buildings no higher than 13 stories. Another 18 acres for residential development will provide 600 additional apartments in buildings up to six stories.
Two new compact neighbo.-hood commercial centers will be established with adequate parking space for the retail
shops, second-hand stores, restaurants, drug stores, cleaners and book stores.
About 10.6 acres between Hoover and McClintock Streets along Jefferson Boulevard will become a privately developed, c a m p u s-oriented shopping center with a variety of retail shops, business offices, professional buildings and other related services.
Hotels on Figueroa Street
The plan calls for an area along Figueroa Street to be used primarily for major hotel or motel establishments with the customary related restaurants, small shops, service stations and offices.
USC will use 57 acres for
its Campus Expansion Program, including the development of new teaching, research and development, and housing facilities and other projects benefiting students, faculty and staff.
The Hebrew Union College, the College of Optometry, churches, temples, student centers, park and recreational facilities, libraries, hospitals, fraternal and charitable institutions will either remain or be enlarged or relocated in the project area. /
A pedestrian mall running between Jefferson Boulevard and 30th Street will connect the university with the heav-
iest concentration of students living off campus.
The Community Redevelopment Association is expected to presenf the plan to the city council sometime next week. Before taking a formal vote, the council will schedule public hearings.
If the vote is affirmative, the association will draw up a contract with the federal government.
The proposal has been hit by irate residents who insist that in spite of U.S. Supreme Court ruling to the otherwise, urban renewal violates theif constitutional rights.
