13 Speakers Receive Okay Prom Dean
The ASSC Speakers Committee has been granted permission by the dean of students office to invite 13 speakers to campus next semester.
The list, which includes President Johnson, New York Gov. Nelson Rockerfeller, Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy and Barry Goldwater. was put together by the Speakers Committee, headed by Chairman Chad Schumacher and Co-Chairman Steve Meiers
Letters of invitation will now be sent to all those included on the list.
In addition to those listed above, Thomas Kuchel, Roy Wilkins, Martin Luther King, Linus Pauling. Robert Hutchins. Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower. Adlai Stevenson and Norman Thomas will be invited to speak.
The dean's office refused speaker conformation to all Communists and also governors Ross Barnett of Mississippi and George Wallace of Alabama.
Meiers predicted that more than half of those invited would accept speaking engagements next spring.
He also said the ASSC Speakers Committee will assist any group in obtaining speakers who “are not in open defiance of the United States Constitution."
The official university 'policy concerning on-campus speakers states that all recognized campus organizations may invite any reputable speaker — one who is not in open defiance of the Constitution.

and sororities, but most students have not yet contributed canned goods or money, he s^id.
Donations are being collected at four locations on campus: in front of the Student Union, across from Founders Hall on University Avenue, the engineering parking lot on Hoover Street across from the YWCA and in the Hoover Boulevard parking lot across from Doheny Library.
Service club members will be on duty at these points from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. through Tuesday.
An all-university street dance to raise money and goods for the project will be held Monday night at 8. Admission to the dance will be 25 cents or two cans of food. Baldi expressed the hope that students would contribute freely in order to make the drive a success.
A trophy to spur competition between fraternities, so-rorties and dormitories will be awarded to the living group with the highest dona-1 tion per person. Baldi urged all groups to submit donations by 1 p.m. Monday.
The collected goods, along with canned goods bought with the money contributed, will be distributed during Christmas vacation to needy families in the USC neighborhood.
Families who were deserving and willing to accept aid were chosen by the County Welfare Department.

Dr. Gerald A. Larue, associate professor of religion, and six USC students will participate in the excavation of Hebron. Jordan, last major unexplored Biblical site in the Holy Land, during the summer.
They hope to help uncover the traditional site of the tombs of Abraham. Issac and Jacob.
The excavation will be sponsored by Princeton Theological Seminary. Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Friends of the Middle East and Dr. Philip C. Hammond of USC and Princeton.
Dr. Hammond is the director of the project to uncover the ancient city.
Participants will gather at the approximate site of the city, 18 miles south of Jerusalem. on July 15. Using the most recent archeological techniques, members of the expedition hope to find the exact location of the city.
Stratigraphic data will indicate whether the site was a center of living in the Bronze
and early Iron ages. Knowledge of their water supply, defense works and the occupational sequences of the people may be found.
Permission to excavate the site was given by the Jordanian Director of Antiquities. Dr. Awni Dajani.
Hebron was the city to which Joshua sent his spies “to spy out the land” of Canaan as the Israelites reached the end of their 40-year journey from slavery in Egypt, according to Biblical history. David chose it for his first capital. Rehoboam and Herod also ruled front this city.
It has been called the place where Adam and Eve mourned for Abel and the place where Noah planted the first vineyard after the historic flood.
The expedition to work at the 3.500-year old city will
be made up of 14 staff members and technical personnel. The participating institutions will share the artifacts uncovered for use as teaching aids.

Mortar Board, national senior women’s honorary, threw down an academic glove to members of the Faculty Center Association yesterday as they challenged USC professors to “challenge" students.
Barbara Shell Stone, Carole Beat and Norvene Foster, all recently selected El Rodeo Helens of Troy, represented the group s views on various facets of the university scene while urging their1 luncheon hosts to interest students in their academic environment.
Professors’ Purpose
“Professors have a primary purpose — communication," Miss Foster pointed out. "They should communicate new ideas, insight and an excitement about their field."
Miss Foster, in discussing the student's conception of a professor’s role in the process of education, asked the faculty to help “internalize" their students’ outlook on learning.
“Introduce intellectual discipline and order, hoping it will become autonomous, and introduce a clarity of consciousness which demands personal responsibility,” she urged. “Challenge us to internalize our ideas and our education.’’
Bolster Originality
Miss Foster suggested that professors could possibly create such a challenge by making “flexible and discerning assignments." by bolstering t.he originality and interest of their lectures and by giving examinations which “ask the students to think on their own” and force them to integrate the course into their lives.
Her opinions were echoed by Miss Beat, who offered her picture of the “ideal student” versus the "real student."
“There are too many students here that are lazy, unmotivated and in a sense academically unaware,” Miss Beat maintained.
Such an attitude, she thought, causes the student to merely subsist intellectually rather than to strive for academic realization.
“Don't let us get away with it," Miss Beat told her faculty audience.
Mrs. Stone, in analyzing the effect of the four-course program on the USC stu-
dent's intellectual outlook, added an environmental note.
She pointed out that the n e w curriculum, although representing a genuine effort toward academic improvement. has encountered various problems, the biggest of which was reluctance to change study habits.
"We are still in the experimental stage and it is at this point that adjustments must be made.” Mrs. Stone said. “We as students are very concerned and will, hopefully, try to do our part, but . . . professors must realize that the burden of stimulus is on them.”
Mortar Boar d's position was summed lip by Miss Foster.
“Demand a great deal of us. We don't pretend we will like it. nor even that many students wil! respond. But we must believe that gradually more and more will respond— and perhaps mediocrity will cease to characterize education. We challenge you to challenge us.”
