NIXON CRITICIZED
Goodell hits war policy
By RICHARD SIMON
“We have become obsessed with government to the point where we will call evil good if that evil is fighting communism.” said former Senator Charles Goodell (R-NY).
Last night in Town and Gown Fover. Goodell criticized Pre-
sident Nixon’s handling of the Vietnam War and offered suggestions to bring peace to Americans and unite the people.
Goodell stated that the Nixon administration’s handling of the war is destroying America instead of saving it as the administration claims.
VP candidates give platforms
(Editor’s note: This is the second in a series of composite stories publicizing the platform of candidates for ASSC elective positions. Statements by ASSC vice-presidential candidates are presented today. Presidential candidates’ platforms will appear tomorrow.)
Programs V.P.
Gilbert M. Lopez and Joel Rosenzweig are running for vice-president of programs.
Lopez is a sophomore political science major. He was at one time Chairman of MECHA.
He said. “The office of vice-president for programs demands of its leader the ability to perceive and initiate those programs most needed to increase the awareness of USC students.
“Programs, especially the ones dealing with community interaction. necessitate mutual imput. That is, the student must give rather than take in the name of his personal education. This, I feel, is the crucial problem facing arty community-action oriented program. This is one of my main areas of concern.”
Rosenzweig, a graduate student in drama, is chairman of Troy Week and is cultural affairs commissioner.
He said. “A candidate must be able to demonstrate his ability to function in the office. In 1968 I was Troy Week chairman of the only Troy Week that came close to making what it spent. In 1970, within 48 hours of its start. I was again asked to helm Troy Week. The activities and honors received by Miss Tedrow and her court speak for themselves. The week went without a hitch-proof that
I	could function quickly and efficiently. I just directed “Tommy”, an experimental effort in programs.”
V.P. for Academic Affairs
Lee Blackman and Michael Lance Trope are candidates for vice president of academic affairs.
Blackman is a junior political science major. He is ASSC academic affairs administrative assistant, chairman of the ASSC Conference Committee, a member of University Scholarship Standards Committee and a member of the University Ad Hoc Committee on Registration.
He said. “I base the importance of my candidacy not merely on the set of priorities which I have established for the ASSC in the area of academic affairs, but also upon my experience, record and ability to bring about my objectives. I have spent the last year actively and deeply involved in ASSC and university affairs. This has given me a potent working knowledge which will be ex-tremly valuable in working for the student body next year. My platform enumerates essential issues.”
Trope is a sophomore majoring in history. He was chairman of the Internal Research Committee for the Academic Affairs Council and is currently on the Scholarship Standards Committee and originating an academic course.

The former Senator presented the following facts:
“750,000 Americans dead, 200,-
000	serious casualties, $150 billion spent, and division in this country, while Russia spends $100 million a year on the Vietnam War, with no deaths, no casualties and no division.” He stated that we re hurting, not communism.
Goodell pointed out that Vietnam is not of vital national interest.
He referred to his September. 1969, bill in Congress, which was the first bill to cut funds off and set a specific date to end the Vietnam War.
“After we went through the moratoriums, Cambodia and an outpouring of criticism of American people, 57 percent of the American people favored my bill to get us out of Vietnam in one year,” said Goodell.
“Then Nixon delivered a speech on television and used (Continued on page 7)
Girls challenge visitation ruling
By ANGELA CURCURU News Editor
After 10:30 last night, there were approximately 400 men signed in as guests in the women’s dorm complex. According to the Women’s Halls Association, they were all legally there, but according to members of the housing staff, the men were there past established visitation hours.
The after-10:30 visitation was planned by the girls in the dorms in support of the WHA decision to put the 24-hour visitation policy into effect even after its rejection by Paul Bloland. vice-president of student affairs.
Dormitory head residents and resident advisors, members of the housing staff, are required to follow rules set down by the university. Therefore, they had to follow Bloland’s decision and consider the visitation policy against university rules.
The head resident in College-University Hall. Jolinda Osbourne, had the IDs of all girls with guests in after 10:30 given to resident advisors on each floor. The resident advisors were requested to ask all these guests to leave.
In EVK and Birnkrant Halls, the head resident, Cheryl Graud-ins, first asked the desk attendant to call each girl who had a guest in her room and ask him to leave. If the guest did not leave, the girls’ IDs were given to Mrs. Graudins. Additional security guards were on hand at the dorms and would not allow male guests to be signed in or brought up to rooms by the girls.
All girls whose IDs were turned in to head residents will be reported to the Women's Standards Board. A total of 341 IDs were turned in, but some girls had signed in more than one guest.
“The Standards Board has to follow the rules set down by the WHA council, and WHA has said that 24-hour visitation is a declared policy,” said Laurel Phinney, WHA president. “If Standards rules that the girls are not guilty, I don’t know what will happen from then on.”
WHA, in accordance with the self-governance policy passed by the Board of Trustees last June, believes it had the power to established the policy without Bloland's approval. Bloland rejected the proposal on the grounds that it concerned legal and security matters which WHA had no power to deal with.
Bloland and members from WHA and the housing staff met with Leonard Castro, a university lawyer, yesterday for almost two hours. Castro expressed the belief that because the university had not set forth stipulations concerning the visitation policy in this year's housing contracts, it could be open for breach of contract suits.
“Because of the legal complications, it would be impossible for the university to approve the policy at this time,” Bloland said. "If the policy was initiated next fall, we would be able to notify parents of this.”
Dag Goldstein, cochairman of the 24-hour visitation committee, said that because this policy is a substantial variation from the norm the administration is worried it may be an invalid contractual change.
“They're also worred about the girls in the dorms who are under 18,” she said. “If a girl under 18 is raped in the dorms, the university could be involved in a statutory rape lawsuit.”
According to all students involved, the tone of the meeting changed after the lawyer left.
“We had a real good feeling by the end of the meeting,” Miss Goldstein said. “The vice-president said he would work with us in formulating a proposal that could be sent to the parents as an

Student Union renamed to honor Trustee Wilson
The Gwynn Wilson Student Union Building was dedicated yesterday with a program held in Hancock Auditorium.
Wilson, for whom the old Student Union was renamed, graduated from USC in 1921, after his term as student body president. Since then, he has served as president of the General Alumni Association, and was made a life member of the USC Board of Trustees last October.
As general manager of the student body in 1927. Wilson worked for the initial building of the Student Union Building. In the 1960s, when the Student Union was no longer considered adequate for the needs of the student body, Wilson helped considerably in the renovation.
A host of people connected with the university attended the dedication. Among the guests were Justin Dart, chairman of the Board of Trustees, Henry Salvatori and Mrs. Frank R. Seaver, board members, Norman Topping, chancellor, John Hubbard, president, and Sam Lunden, architect for the new Student Union.
Paul Bloland, vice-president of student affairs, discussed the improvements made in the old building. Bloland said that the plan for renovating the Student Union was to make the necessary improvements without losing the
tradition and warmth radiated by the old building.
The improvements include the enlarged grill, increased office space now housing student aid, foreign student counseling and student publications, in addition to approximately 70 other student organizations. Yet. the gargoyles and the original exterior still remain intact.
Bloland then introduced Chuck Jones, ASSC vice president of Academic Affairs.
“I find it somewhat ironic.” Jones said, “that administrators and trustees often rely upon the phrase, ‘work through appropriate channels’. I can assure you that there is no more potent radicalizing agent on campus than the appropriate channels of the University of Southern California.”
Dart then took the stage and mentioned a few of Wilson's accomplishments.
Wilson was associate manager of the 1932 Olympics and managed to reap a profit of $1 million which was donated to the City of Los Angeles. It was the first time the Olympics ever made a profit.
Wilson ended the series of speeches. “It is an honor,” he said, “to have my name on this building.”
