Professor Receives Top Honor
Dr. Richard C. Dales, associate professor of history, has been awarded one of the two or three top honors in the nation for scholars. He has been selected to spend next year at Princeton University’s Institute for Advanced Study.
There he will continue his research on two projects: first, research on the intellectual history of the middle ages: and second, on the commentary of creation, in terms of natural science, as told in Genesis.
Dr. Dales, who has been at USC since 1964. sees USC as having a certain vitality.
“The university has the same vitality found in any large university—a multiplicity of nationalities. I like to look out at a class and see students of many nationalities and racial backgrounds/'
The young professor, who took his masters and doctorate degrees at Colorado, says the university has a variety of student-types.
‘There are the fraternity boys who stuff themselves into Volkswagons. And there are the ticky-tacky students with a very biand outlook on education." h e commented smiling.” (“Ticky-tacky” refers to the song which satar-izes the conformity of society.)
As for those students really concerned with learning:
“There are about the same number as there were when I came here.” he said. “You begin to expect only a 3mall number of them. They are the ones, however, who really make a teacher’s job worthwhile.”
He added that he felt the graduate school in history attracts surprisingly good students.
Dr. Dales has taught at Lewis and Clark College, and at the University of California at Santa Barbara.

The report opens with ASSC President John Sullivan’s own assessment of his administration. which he says covered a period “in which both the great possibilities and the great failures inherent within student participation were so amply evidenced; in which student government and indeed the entire academic community was challenged by important questions of academic freedom: in which we have witnessed the greatest amount of growth in the ASSC’s recent memory.”
A year ago. in his campaign platform, while he was seeking the ASSC presidency. Sullivan said. “I believe we. as students, have a definite moral right in helping to frame the policies which will affect our lives while at the university.
Basic Issues “Assuming student participation is valid and worthwhile, students must be made a part of the policy-making apparatus and become involved in their basic campus issues.” After a year of community government. students have taken their places on various faculty committees and have jointly organized others.
In addition to student-administrative - faculty committees, Sullivan proposed a community council, which was to be the main policy-making body on campus. The joint meetings between the Executive Cabinet and President Topping’s staff fulfilled this promise, the most significant outcome of these sessions being the joint ASSC budget.
Sullivan promised to reevaluate student government: the (Continued on Page 4)
