ROSEMARY JO KARMELICH
Recipient of the Order of the Laurel
By PATTI REID
Rosemary Jo Karmelich was awarded the Order of the Laurel Award, the highest award presented by the university to any graduating senior woman, at the Academic Honors Convocation held yesterday in Bovard.
“I'm very honored and excited to get the Order of the Laurel Award, but it doesn’t match the satisfaction I’ve received from all the facets of the university in which I participated.” Miss Karmelich said.
The Order of the Laurel was presented to Miss Karmelich because she not only excelled in intellectual and cultural leadership throughout her college years, but also contributed more than any other woman to all aspects of university life.
Thinking of transferring at one time, Miss Karmelich said, “In spite all its criticisms, USC is potentially a very exciting and wonderful place to be. In my sophomore year I’d applied to transfer because of the dullness and the value system which I objected to, but now I'm very happy I stayed.”
M’ss Karmelich has won a Chancellor's Fellowship from the UCLA Grad School, which will allow her to teach freshman English in her second, third and fourth year there, leaving the fifth year to write her dissertation.
Miss Karmelich hopes to ultimately gain her Ph D. in English, specializing in the Victorian Period and then teach college.

Miss Karmelich Receives The Order of The Laurel
Called More Harmful to Students
By KATHY (i ALLOW A V
“It is not the professor that perishes, it is the students,” Dr. Francis Christensen said yesterday in a speech entitled “Publish or Perish — Who Perishes?” at the Creative Scholarship and Research Award Lecture in Founders Hall.
One of two winners of $1,000
Graduation Speaker Announced
awards from the USC associates' last year. Dr. Christensen described the consequences of the release of an instructor who does not publ/sh work as1 more harmful to his students than to himself, especially if his students plan to become teachers themselves.
Dr. Christensen then traced the development of Western academic tradition of teaching English from the 18th century concepts of correctness as a basis for speech. He said present handbooks describe grammar as an agent for teaching a perspn to judge whether a sentence is right or not.
“Not whether it is effective, not whether it is true, but whether it is rirrht. The matter may be further explained by pointing out what is wrong,” Dr. Christensen said.
“Our schemes of errors are negative: they are derived, as one handbook boasts from an analysis of the errors in 20.000 freshman themes!
“The next step undermined the authoritarian doctrine of correctness. The school tradition was a closed system. The onlv contribution a textbook writer could make was to discover error where none had ever been found before."
“This led to the combing of grammar texts and literature in order to find mistakes,” he explained.
The problem of noting mistakes in other men's grammar. Dr. Christensen said, is that no one will agree on
what is an error, what is correct, and what is merely colloquial.
“The question over standard and substandard English is not of such great importance, although it seems that way to many people.
“When the public buys a dictionary, it wants the same thing as when it hires an English teacher—it wants a system for ready-made judgments of right and wrong, or, to vary the figure, a linguistic Dear Abby,” Dr. Christensen said.
“We hear on every hand that the language is dying. If it is, it is not because “like” is poaching on the territory of “as”; it is dying from the double talk of those who would manipulate us through language.’
Dr. Christensen said the distance between speech and writing has narrowed in our own time.
“The structure has been relaxed, and the diction has become such that it is no longer possible to use the term colloquial as a usage label. But our textbooks go on as if nothing had happened,” he said.
Dr. Christensen followed his cpeech with an explanation of the addition principle in rhetoric, describing how parts of a sentence clarify a base clause.
He said many teachers think of complex sentences as a sign of mature writing, and cited Hemingway as a major writer whose simple sentences would thus be called immature.
DR. THOMAS H. HAMILTON
Main speaker al commencement.
Dr. Thomas H. Hamilton, the president of the University of Hawaii. will be the principal speaker at USC's 84th annual commencement exercises June 8.
Dr. Hamilton will address the graduating students, their friends and families on “There Is a Difference.' Ceremonies will begin at 11 a.m. in Alumni Memorial Park.
The University of Hawaii has been in a stage of growth and development since Dr. Hamilton became president in 1963. Studies in oceanography, marine biologj,’. behavioral sciences, and humanities are all important at the university.
The Pacific Biomedical Research Center, and the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics have been opened, and a two-year School of Medicine and a Graduate Research Library are underway.
Educators and administrators who have joined the Hawaii faculty recently include: Windsor C. Cutting, former dean of Stanford Medical School, dean of the new School of Medicine; Wytze Gorter, former UCLA economics chairman, dean of the Graduate Division; and P. Frederick DelliQuardi, dean of the New York School of Social Work. Columbia University, who will become dean of Social W'ork in September.

Minnes Announces For MHA Presidency
The first and only person to announce his candidacy for Men s Hall Association president is Fred Minnes. a freshman in psychology.
Applications for Men's Hall Association president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer for 1967-68 will be available until 5:00 p.m. today from each dorm's resident assistant, Steve Kemp, current MHA president, announced.
Applications are due in Kemp's Marks Tower box by 5 p.m. today. The election will take place on May 17.
Minnes is currently an MHA representative and a justice on the MHA Judicial Council.
“MHA has been an obscure and insignificant organization until this lyear. It should have a stronger stu-
“Grammar shows you what is possible, but rhetoric shows you what is effective,” he said.
Dr. Christensen has attended the University of Utah, the University of California, and Harvard University. He taught at the Universities of Utah and Wisconsin, and DiePauw University before joining the USC faculay in 1939.
His studies in rhetoric and composition earned him the creative scholarship award last year, and he is nationally recognized as a student of rhetoric and style.
dent voice since it represents nearly
1,000	men dorm residents,” he said.
“I introduced the first resolution that called for visitation privileges but I think tne visiting hours allotted (which total nine hours) are greatly inadequate and are an insufficient test of responsibility.
“However, they are a stride forward for the university and must be liberally extended next year,” he
said.
Women’s Hall Association elections were held last month and resulted in the reelection of Jane Lin-denthal to the WHA presidency.
Also elected were Virginia Ward, vice-president; Karen Bever, treasurer; Barbara Roddick, secretary; Nancy Wint, Birnkrant chairman and Annetta Maples, EVK-Harris chairman.
Dr. Herman Harvey, Associate Professor of psychology, concluded the convocation with his “The Parable of Spoiled Meat.”
“Like most myths and parables, there are multiple meanings to the parable of spoiled meat, one in particular speaks to me—loudly and not too comfortably — for if I listen closely — and honestly — it questions what I accomplish as a teacher in a University,” Dr. Harvey said.
Dr. Harvey mentioned the ambiguity of words as symbols, reciting an exerpt from William Faulkner, about words.
“I am consoled by the duality of existence,” he said. “And if I really come to substantial grips with the idea. I see that, even as I sense the value and enormous impress of my intimate and private, nonverbal and noncommu-nicable world, I have neglected to accept it in my students.”
Dr. Harvey concluded with a quote from Bertrand Russell:
“Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.”
“This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.”
MAN OF TROY
Dick Burt
DICK BURT
One of five Men of Troy
Order of Palm to Be Presented
The outstanding graduating senior, one of this year's five Men of Troy, will be named and presented the Order of the Palm tonight at the AMS Awards Banquet, Stu Benjamin, AMS president, announced.
The five Men of Troy, selected on the basis of scholarship, leadership, student activities and community service, are Benjamin, Bob Braun, Dick Burt, Rick Gaskins and Taylor Harkford.
Due Lo a consistently low audi-
ence figure for the ceremony in the past, Benjamin said this year’s banquet will be held at The Raffles, and will be by invitation only.
Members of this and next gear’s ASSC Executive Council, personal guests and Tom Hull, dean of men, will attend. Dean Hull will present
the awards.
Dr. Paul Bloland, dean of students, was to have been the speaker for the evening. He is a mountain
climber who has climbed the Matterhorn, Benjamin said, and rather than listen to someone discuss academics, the AMS asked him to show slides of his adventures.
But the dean is teaching a class, and so there will be no speaker.
The Men of Troy nominees were originally suggested by 75 teachers and administrators. Forms requesting qualifications for the honor were sent to the nominees, and final se-
lection was made by Deans Hull, Bloland, and Clive Grafton of special activities and student events.
The recipient of the Order of the Palm is selected on a slightly more general basis than are the Men of Troy.
“He sort of typifies the spirit of Troy,” said Benjamin.
Next year’s AMS president and vice-president, John Wardlow and Bill Kennan, will be initiated at the banquet.
“For what are probably legitimate reasons. I don't think the administration and faculty are moving, or can move, fast enough to take the leadership.
“I think the students will take the leadership towards making education, total education, the only end of this university. And for this reason I think this will be a great university.”
Dick Burt. IFC Judicial chief justice and Blue Key president, was talking about students. One of five Men of Troy. Burt explained his work at USC as an attempt to get an education.
“I consider education to be a challenge.” he noted.
“I think that had I been more challenged in the classroom. I would not have sought challenge so much in extra-curricular activities.
“But I did. and I found it. And I have benefitted tremendously from mv education at USC. both in and out of the classroom."
Most students. Burt thinks, come to a university primarily for this same reason — to ?et an education. In the past, hp said, he had been disappointed with student involvement in making USC “a better uni-versitv.”
“But more and more the students are becoming involved. he “ail. “I'm much mere optimistic new.
Burt's primary service, cf course, has come in the fraternity system, where he has served on the IFC judicial for two years, has been president and vice-president of Pi Kappa Alpha, and directed last semester's Direction '67 Conference.
In judicial Burt has worked with Dean of Men Tom Hull in establishing a total university judicial system and in “instilling a deeper sense of responsibility in the fraternity system in three ways:
“1. By getting the houses to act more responsibly.
“2. By acting more responsibly ourselves.
“3. By encouraging the IFC to act responsibly.”
Planning to continue his own education at the University of Miami, where he will be seeking a masters in student personnel administration, Burt expressed a desire to continue working with students on a university level.
At Miami, he will also serve on the Dean of Men’s staff. “I’ll still be involved with student activities.” he said, “just continuing what I've been doing for the last four years.”
