Ry STAN METZLER Assistant to the Editor
“I’m the only councilman with both a college and a university within my district,” Billy Mills noted at a dormitory dinner-meeting last night, “a.nd for that statistic I am very grateful to USC.”
Speaking on “The Role of Legislation in Creating Social Justice” at a Marks Tower 5th Floor series. Mills also expressed skepticism with those who doubt the effects of social legislation, awareness of the possibilities of black nower and disappointment over USC’s failure to publicize its work in the community.
“A great bulk of the population still believes in the old doctrine of laissez-faire, that government should act only when called upon,” Mills said, “when they’re referring to social legislation.”
Mills noted that fair housing proposals, recent civil rights bills, fair employment law’s and civil service legislation have brought about social advancements that could not have been accomplished without them He referred to his early life as a student in Waco. Tex., when he often had to travel 250 miles in public husps to the East Texas ranch where he lived.
“I could not. ride across Texas.” he explained, “without being totally convinced that I was inferior to every possible thing on the face of the earth.
Through the Fair Accomodations Bill, he continued, and not because of “the hearts of the good men.” a Negro can now cross the South without being. “so openly, notoriously and blan-tantly” insulted and degraded.
Answering a question on the ramifications of black power. Mills said that because he knows what the term me-ans he has no cause to fear it.
“The great concentrated, ghetto power is tb»re. and it’s hlack, so whose fault is it?” he asked
“I certrfffly don't believe in not using it, because it is the answer to the way out,
“And as long as you're going to color power. I don't see why not color it black as well as white.”
Mills also commented on the university's image in the surrounding community, explaining that most area residents still think of it as an island and regard it with hostility.
Such programs as the Tutorial Project, do have a substantial effect on community relations, but their effect is limited by a lack of public relations.
“Whether you are isolated or not is irrelevant.” he said. “The important thing is w’hether people think you are.
“As long as you’re doing something good, you should tell somebody you’re doing it.”

ALUMNI HONORED
Crew Week Ushers in Season
Crew at LTSC had its beginnings in 194S with borrowed UCLA equipment. Their coach, Bob Hillen, was borrowed in 1949. He has been instrumental in building crew into a major intercollegiate sport since then. The crew has established itself in the Boathouse at pier 192, San Pedro Harbor.
The traditional Crewr Week takes place this week. It heralds the beginning of the season and honors the past accomplishments and alumni of USC crew.
One alumnus, Conn Finley, became an oarsman. He rowed for USC in 1954 and 1955, and went on to take gold medals at the 1956 and 1964 Olympics. He is now crew' coach at Stanford.
Then there wras the historic victory of USC over Cal and UCLA at Balona Creek in 1956. This has been likened to a Pop Warner football team beating Notre Dame. ‘
This year’s Crew was launched Sunday night at M’Goo’s at a dinner given for the crewmen by Shell and Oar. crew’s women's auxiliary. As part of Crew Week, the Shell and Oar “sucker sale” began Monday. It will continue next week. The proceeds will go to a matching fund to provide a crewman with a $500 scholarship next year.
The climax to Crew Week is Crew Day, this Saturday at 1 p.m. at The Boathouse. Among the festivities scheduled are the alumni race, interclass races, wherry races (one-man boats), and awards for outstanding oarmanship.
Coach Hillen, the crew, and Shell and Oar invite all students to come

and view these events. Maps to the Boathouse are attached to posters distributed throughout the campus. Refreshments will be available.
The 20th Annual Crew Awards Banquet will be held Saturday night at the Sheraton-Wilshire Hotel.
To get in shape for the coming season the team has been rowing about 10 miles a day in San Pedro Harbor.
Rob Rodgers, the team's captain, says this year includes “one of the roughest schedules on the coast."
The first event of the season will
be March 18 against San Diego State in the Los Angeles Harbor.
Other home events will be against the University of California at Santa Barbara on March 22 and the Har-bach Cup Regatta (Stanford and the University of Santa Clara), April 22.
The team will compete in the Western Intercollegiate Rowing Championships, May 19 and 30, at the Marine Stadium, Long Beach.
They tied with UCLA for fifth place in the coast last year. This year, with twice as many members, they expect to do much better.
In the IFC meeting, McCaughey reiterated a recommendation from IFC’s Direction '67 that fraternities adopt an “educational'* pledge period,
He defined pledge education as the process of creating better fraternity men through the development of maturity and leadership.
Changes made by IFC recently, said McCaughey. include:
#	Holding the pledge orientation meeting at the beginning of the semester rather than just before Help Week-
#	Allowing individual houses more leeway during Help Week by not coming around and checking up on them as had been done in the past.
The IFC is also considering forming a pledge IFC to help educate incoming pledges about IFC activities.
McCaughey said the IFC has a library of national and local pledge manuals which is available to fraternity pledge trainers.
He added that IFC officers were available to speak at houses about “eductional” pledge programs.
At the sorority meeting, the representatives discussed:
#	Big-little sister programs.
#	Inspiration week.
#	Pledge class officers

TO ERR IS HUMAN: TWICE IN A WEEK
The caption in yesterday^ Daily Trojan concerning the Row’s Troy Camp contribution was only half correct- It said that money had been contributed by various fraternities.
However, the distaff side of the Row also gave money, and, after being besieged by several angry phone calls from upset sorority girls, IFC Advisor Pat Ryan suggested that the Daily Trojan correct its error.
We therefore humbly comply
