USC officially dedicated its new $2.3 million Olin Hall of Engineering yesterday, and President Topping took the opportunity to thank the Olin Foundation formally for the momentum the gift has afforded the university’s Master Plan.
“When our Master Plan is complete — when USC has been academically and phy-! sically enriched by its ultimate goals—we will remember that Olin Hall was first.”
Dr. Topping said. “It will always have a special meaning to the family and friends of the university.
“In the years to come,” the president continued, “thousands of students will walk through the doors of Olin Hall. We cannot foresee the consequences of their study ;j nor can we foresee the heights they may attain. Yet we know that each of these young men and women will share a university experience manifestly enriched by the munificence of the Olin Foundation.”
Dr. Charles L. Horn, pres- ... ident of Olin Foundation, and VV1 Dr. James O. Wynn, the foundation's vice president andi general counsel, presented Dr. Topping with a gold key to Olin following his address.
Other dedication speakers included H. Leslie Hoffman,!
SU VOTE REACHES 3800; AFFIRMATIVES LEAD 6-1
Total number of votes on the Student Union fee referendum continued to creep higher yesterday as the sum reached 3,793 votes.
Affirmative votes for the §2.50-per-semester fee to pay for additions to the Student Union and remodeling of present facilities climbed to 3,288. Five hundred-five students have voted against the fee.
Tabulators expect very few votes to come in before the end of registration Friday when voting is scheduled to close.
They said, however, a few stragglers might have to be counted after Friday if students who received ballots by mail during the summer decide to return them late.
According to ASSC President Ken Del Conte, if the count continues to indicate that students are in favor of the fee to pay for the $1.5 million Student Union addition and remodeling, President Topping will probably recommend to the Board of Trustees that the fee plan be adopted.
Del Conte said the recommendation probably would be made at the next board meeting so work can begin as soon as possible on acquiring a loan from the Housing and Home Finance Agency and designing the addition.

A massive student activities meeting designed to clear up conflicting policies within the ASSC will be held today beginning at 3 in Hancock Auditorium.
Student leaders from every area of campus activity are expected to attend the explantory session.
“During the meeting we i plan to explain the services and functions of the Office of : Special Events and review in brief, the activities and goals of the 1963-1964 school year,”;
Director of Special Events Bob Jani explained yesterday.

ASSC President Ken Del Conte and Sheldon Disrud. assistant director of special events, will also be on hand at what Jani described as a “find out” session.

scientific knowledge, our changing national goals, fluid consumer tastes, the freshening flow of new civilian products and the intensity of foreign competition all require a high degree of adaptability to change and a mind that is always open,” Beck explained.
“The engineer of today should be more of a generalist than a specialist,” Beck said. “In decades past, industry called for specialists and
fools of themselves.”
In conclusion. Beck felt that the engineer should possess the qualities of a craftsman.
“In spite of the great capabilities of the modern machine, human performance is a critical element in the success of many of our complex systems and projects. It is therefore essential that engineers today have a large measure of the old-fashioned in-
