Students are about evenly divided concerning the abolishment of the ASSC Senate, according to the findings of a Daily Trojan poll yesterday.
Morris Upper, a graduate student in business, agreed with ASSC President John Betinis’ motives “to wake up the students'’ to the state student government is in.
Right Direction
John Woodyard, also a graduate student in business, concurred that “student government is ridiculous. Hence, I believe he is going in the right direction.”
Sam Foster, a junior in history and economics, said he has seen two different constitutions in effect since he came to USC.
“Therefore, I feel that the constitution makes no difference; it’s the people involved who are important,” he remarked.
“John Betinis came into office to play the Pied Piper,” Foster added. “Instead of chasing out the rats, he has become one.”
Joined Rat Race
Stan Risdon, a junior in economics, agreed that “Betinis has joined the rat race and become one of the rats. He’s just another politician looking for issues and answers.”
“Student body government goes on in spite of roadblocks thrown in its way.” Risdon continued.
“Betinis’ idea of abolishing student government is rather cute ahd appealing.
“He seems to have become impressed with himself and now he’s going to abolish only those organs of government which displease him.”
Neil Ross, a senior in psychology, commented that since the Senate is not doing anything and since “it’s only satisfying the Senator’s own whims for political advancement. I see no reason to keep it.”
“The idea of revising the Senate is good,” William Linch, a junior in German, remarked. “But
Two Propositions To Face Voters
ASSC special general elections will be held tomorrow and Thursday in Alumni Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Propositions A and B, constitutional amendments submitted by AMS President Adam Herbert and ASSC President John Betinis respectively, will be on the ballot.
Both amendments ask for the calling of a constitutional conv? ntion. but Betinis’ amendment also asks for the abolition of the ASSC Senate.
Students will have a choice of approving one of the amendments, or to vote no on both.

to put so much power in Betinis’ hands is silly.”
“It's a good idea for the students to get a chance to express themselves by voting on the abolishment of the Senate, since that was the basis for Betinis’ election.” Dave Camp, a graduate in library science, said.
Follow Ideas
Anne Carlson, a junior in English, said, “The students elected Betinis, ostensibly to follow through with his ideas.
“Maybe they voted for him only as a joke. It’ll be interesting to see how the election turns out.”
Kathy Hubenthal, a junior in comparative literature, observed that student government at all universities seems ineffectual and “if Betinis is sincere, this might be a step in the right direction.
Problem Spotted
“In any case I’m glad someone saw the problem and decided to do something about it.” she said.
Sandy Klein, a sophomore in pre-med and psychology, said she would have liked to have seen the Trojan Democratic Club amendment on the ballot.
“I don’t mind giving Betinis dictatorial power because everyone can get it and everyone already has it,” she said.

Magazines Strive for Identity
The search for individuality is one of the main factors which lead to the production of a whole new type of magazine publishing—the market magazine, said Kenneth Hud-nall in a talk to the Student Marketing Club yesterday.
Hudnall, regarded as one of the nation's leading media advertising directors, said that whereas wartime produced regimentation, the product of today is computariza- j tion.
“Everything has long numbers, including zip codes and telephone numbers, and people fight it in looking for individuality,” he explained.

ASSC President John Betinis is the one who “doesn't give a damn" about student government, said AMS President Adam Herbert yesterday. in reply to Betinis’ article in Monday’s Daily Trojan.
“John is in his office two hours every’ two weeks, whereas people like myself, AWS President Sandi Lipsey, ASSC Vice President Joyce Bowman and ASSC Secretary Jan Jesperson spend at least 10 to 15 hours a week in our offices.
Coming Election
“It seems ironic to me that on one day Betinis refers to the executive cabinet as ‘an able body of legislators’ and then two weeks later describes them as “knaves and churls who don't give a damn student government,”
“Who doesn't give a damn about student government?” he asked.

Teller, the “father of the H-bomb," will speak at the final banquet Wednesday evening. He will speak in place of Allen W. Dulles, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, who is ill in Washington.
Sunday night, Dr. Ernest W. Lefever of the Brookings Institute in Washington spoke on the power and purpose of world politics.
Dr. Lefever emphasized that America must share the blame for the chaos and terror in the Congo.
“This is because Americans often confuse the right of self-determination with the capacity for self-government,” Dr. Lefever said.
“The Congo is the world’s er, should not hesitate in her most dramatic example of in- responsibility to keep peace dependence by panic.

Major areas to be discussed include, press, foreign policy and the role of private groups in policy formation.
