Convention to Offer Altered Constitution
By STAN METZLER

“And the country that relates best to Africa today," he continued, “is the country that relates best to its own survival tomorrow."
Rev. Mr. Robinson is the founder and director of Crossroads Africa, a work camp seminar study program and living experience in Africa.
• He came to USC to recruit applicants for thp summer program and to speak at the “Called to be Human" Campus Forum.
During the forum address he said Africa today is undergoing four revolutions—communism. nationalism, technology and women.
He also emphasized that the African revolution is rapidly ATOMIC

"People today «av Africa ran t have a really democratic society but they expect Africa to do in 25 years what wp needed 250 to accomplish." he commented.

Unruh Bill May Bring Aid to Troy
A bill which would make USC and other private universities and colleges eligible for research project contracts in the field of real estate was introduced by Assembly Speaker Jesse M. Unruh last week.
Dr. Preston Martin, professor of finance and real estate, has been doing research in the field of real estate, comparable to the research being done at the state schools. Being a private university, however, USC is not presently eligible for state funds.

Author s Works Hit Out At Monetary Societies
B.v CHUCK CONYERS
Novelist Richard G. Stern read from his forthcoming book. "Stitch." yesterday as a guest of the English department.
The work, to be published this s p r i ng^ by Harper and Row. is about an 80-year-old sculptor named Stitch, who lives on a Venetian island and spends his years carving an epic history from the stone around him.
Critic Observe
After the reading, the author answered questions from the audience. He replied to literary critic Granville Hicks’ observation that “What (Stern) seems to lack is a center: the four books so far published have little in common except talent. He has been either unwilling or unable <o show us where be really lives.”
Stern said that "Critics pre-.
fer a writer to be a marketable commodity which they can identify and package. I refuse to be packaged. I
get absorbed in a subject and try to do as much for it as I can.”
In reading excerpts of "Stitch,” the novelist delivered many paragraphs larded with reaction against a closed, money-making society. For example:
“These quick condemners. Shake them one inch from their faith, touch them with one crystal of snow and they turn wolf. Howling turn of flesh, consuming villages worth of stuff, the world sweating for their ease . . .”
Stern said his novel takes place around 1962, when the hero is sick and desparing that his masterpiece may never bp completed. Stitch finds meaning in Nina Calla-
han. a 28-year-old poetess so poverty stricken that she’s I living with a countess whose amnesia makes her forget to charge Nina rent.
He tries to prevent a love affair from budding between Nina and Edward Gunther, a Chicago advertising man in Venice who is recuperating from the rough life in the states.
Shnrl Slory
Stern also read his short story "Dying." The work reveals the novelist's belief that contemporary society is materialistic, bureaucratic and suppresses the individual. 1
The author, father of four children, was born in 1928 in New York City and was educated at the University of North Carolina, Harvard and the University of Iowa. For the past 10 years he has been an associate professor of English at the University of Chicago.
