By KICK MARKS Assistant City Editor
Trolios. featuring master of ceremonies Gary Owens, Queen Helen of Troy Roberta Salberg and the winning comedy skit of Phi Kappa Tau and Delta Gamma, opened Homecoming Week festivities last night before a capacity audience at Bovard Auditorium.
The first place skit. "Apple Pie and Motherhood.” was a satire on the American political scene.
Second place honors were captured bv “Western Side Story” performed by Kappa Sigma and Kappa Alpha Theta. The skit was a pantomime satire on the "rush” system, done to the music of
“West Side Story.”
Taking first place in the small group category was Alpha Phi sorority with “College Men?” The musical rendition told of the problems and experiences girls have I with men, but how in the long •run it's all worth while.
WINNING NUMBER-Phi Kappa Tau and Delta Gamma wen top honors at Trolios last night with "Apple Pie and Motherhood," a "completely impartial, non-partisan and non-Communist" satire on political extremism.
“N ancy Whiskey” performed by Zeta Beta Tau was awarded second place in the small group division. The trio sang folk songs from around the world.
The only other competing group in the small division, Alpha Chi Omega, performed “You Can't Keep a Secret on the Row,’’ a satire on the trials and tribulations of the lack of privacy on 28th Street.
"Football Frolic,” done by Birnkrant Hall, was a takeoff on the USC football team 'and its problems this season. The group even disclosed the reason why the team isn’t successful this year—they’re using a greasy football.
Another skit dealing with the university's football team, Alpha Delta Pi and Sig Ep’s “Everything’s Coming Up Roses." reassured everyone that the team has nothing to worry about when they face Stanford Saturday, and promised the audience that "everything's coming up . . . roses?”
Also featured on the program were Dean Hawley and the Kinsmen, who performed I their own version of a Hoote-nany. The group did imitations of the "Lemon Lighters,” "D ave” Baez, the “Mothers Brothers," and also the Ray Charles tune "What I Say."
The USC Band, under the direction of Ron Broadwell, played the opening overture and entertained the audience (with a medley of songs as the judges tabulated their votes for the winning skits.
Queen Roberta and her court were presented by Jess Hill, director of athletics.
The Trolios production was under the direction of Carlos j Galindo, chairman of homecoming; Dephine Miller, co-chairman; Jerry Murphy, chairman of Trolios; Brenda Broz. co-chairman; and Bill Nardi, chairman 1963 Helen of Troy contest.

Professor Predicts Tropic' Will Alter Obscenity Laws
By «KKG HILL
“Tropic of Cancer." Henry Miller's lurid description of the Left Bank's collective sex life, will probably bring forth a new interp retation of United States obscenity laws. William Bishin, associate professor of law. said yesterday.
Dr. Bishin, speaking before the Faculty Center Association at its noon luncheon, maintained that the book's upcoming appearance before the Supreme Court will allow the national judiciary to ren dc-r a liberal ruling on the subject of obscenity.
Obscenity itself will no longer be illegal, the Harvard law graduate predicted. The legal issue alter the ruling will bo whether the obscenity is motivated by a base desire for profit or by a sincere desire for artistic expression or social reform, he said.
Dr Bisliin theorized that sue Ii a ruiing by the Supreme Court would reflect the social transition over the past f»0 years from U't* conservative outlook on obscenity to the new l°gal concept of “hardcore ]*ornogranny.'’ or basely motive-4ed obscenity.
Before the 1920s the coun-
try's judiciary held that any matter “offensive to modesty and chastity" was obscene and illegal. Dr. Bishin said.
During the F^oaring Twenties this outlook was gradually replaced by the viewpoint that sex was perhaps not so “bad" after all, the law professor continued. The changing trend in sexual morality marked the beginning of an
attempt to establish some criteria other than "modesty and chastity” for judging obscenity.
The expected Supreme Court decision on the legality of “Tropic of Cancer” will establish such a new criteria by replacing the notion of obscenity with a legal differentiation between two types of lewdness, Dr. Bishin *aid.

Professor Explains True College Aim
The true purpose of the university should be a commitment to the search for knowledge and its disemination, Dr. Paul Saltman, professor of biochemistry, said yesterday during a bi-weekly "Faculty in Depth" series at Hillel Foundation.
“If this is the purpose of a university, can USC honestly stand as a ‘sea of tranquility' while the surrounding area in a ‘sea of turmoil?’” he asked.
Dr. Saltman believes that students now at USC com-pared with students attending 10 years ago are more intel-
lectually competent and will |learn more.
Tho change in the intellectual climate, however, has not been accompanied by a similar change in the commitments of the students. Dr. Saltman said.
He said the university is the third largest contributor of personnel to the Peace Corp. This figure. Dr Saltman suggested, should indicate an awareness and an activity for some cause and some inner commitments, but in reality such a commitment or inner response is not pres-lent on our campus.
A former U.S. Marine Corps fighter pilot and a captain the the USMCR. Miller holds a BS degree in aerospace engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He is an Associate Fellow. American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics: and an associate member of the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Aerospace Medical Association and the Human Factors Society.

purpose of the new constitution is to simplify the ASSC government and to make it w^ork more efficiently in the future.
“This new constitution simplifies the present student government and gives proper individual representation in the turning face of the university,” he explained.
The new' document reduces the entire student council (Senate and Cabinet) from 47 members to 35.
Whereas separately elected senators now’ represent students from their fields of study, the new' constitution would permit presidents of the fields of study or professional schools to represent their constituents in the ASSC Senate.
“This proposed constitution has better functional definitions ‘in toto’ than the previous constitution,” Del Conte said. "For the first time dormitories, foreign students and fraternities and sororities are represented and given a voice in student government.
