Marchers strike campus;
protest weapon display
Bv <;re<, hrk.lak
A Navy weapons display was the scene yesterday of USC's first protest demonstration in recent years as about 15 sign-carrying peace demonstrators formed a circle and marched around several missiles for an hour.
A large crowd gathered quickly.
The climax came when three campus policemen halted the marching and demanded proof that the
demonstrators were actually students.
One marcher, who didn't want his name disclosed, said the demonstration had several objectives:
•	“To show that a university is not the place to display machines capable of killing hundreds of people.”
•	“To fight student apathy and promote interest in world events.”
•	“To make a test case and pave
the way for the right to protest on
campus.”
Chester Clarke, the officer in charge, collected the marchers’ ID cards and wrote down the names of the students who were marching. He returned the cards later.
Clarke refused to say why the names were taken down. He threatened to take one demonstrator to the police station because he had no ID with him.
The demonstration was supposed to be non-violent and it was, except for some shouting and pushing by a small part of the large crowd that surrounded the marchers.
David Lang, one of the demonstrators. commented on the shouting and the obscenities that were hurled at the marchers:
“We expect this verbal garbage because there is always a small group that will not respect the rights of others,” he said.

Film by King Vidor to be shown tonight
A 1925 effort of USC artist-in-residence King Vidor will screen tonight at 7 in Founders Hall 133.
The film. “The Big Parade" is another in the DKA series of movies and stars John Gilbert and Renee Adoree.
Film critics have heralded Vidor as “a romantic poet who celebrates the beauty of nature, and of natural men.'*
“His genius expresses a philosophy of moral purity which w6uld provoke jibes from most audiences today,” film critic Charles Higham said.
“Yet I believe that his work will live long after the experiments of
the '60s look jaded. King has almost single-handedly carried into sound the grassroots-America cinema of Griffith.”
As an adjunct professor Vidor said that this university has the advantage of forming the first department for the development of cinema skills and by its close association with the leading professionals has continued to firmly hold this leadership.
“Cinema is an art form which is indigenous to American life. This is especially true of Southern California. Throughout our country and the world there is a rapidly growing interest and search in the history and technical knowledge of cinema production,” said Vidor.
over the right to have free speech on campus, their counterparts in Europe, Asia and Latin America riot over the right to be students in a free university.
Henry Martinez-Kelly, a registration specialist in the Registrar’s Office, knows the latter kind well, for he was once among them in his native Argentina.
To look at Kelly, one wouldn’t think it was possible for such a person to ever have been a student rioter. He is large and friendly. He has that stereotyped “gay cabal lero” smile most Americans think typical of Latin Americans.
But his smile quickly fades when he talks about the anti-Peronista student riots in Buenos Aires during 1953-54.
Juan Peron was the dictator of Argentina during that period. He and his followers, .the Pronistas, wanted to rid the country of any opposition. To bring this about, Peron frequently used violence, referred to by Kelly as “Gestapo tactics.”
Many of the onlookers agreed with Lang that the right to protest should exist.
One soldier said he is completely opposed to the viewrs of the demonstrators. but he would always defend their right to protest.
“America was built and exists on that kind of freedom.” he explained.
The small group of students who were shouting at the demonstrators displayed mixed emotions. When one marcher appeared with a yellow sign with “peace” written on it, the small group shouted an obscenity. But then one person said quietly, “It's not really his fault, he's just misinformed.”
Victor Sargent, chief of Campus Police, said the demonstration was peaceful and police will not stop future demonstrations if they are also peaceful.
Applications due for house decorations
Entry forms for the house decorations contest must be turned in to the Student Activities Office in the YWCA by 5 p.m. today.
Applications must be accompanied by a $3 entry fee and a completed color drawing of the decoration.
The entries will be judged next Friday. Winners will be announced at the bonfire-rally later that night.
ASSC COUNCIL TO DISCUSS NSA
The ASSC Executive Council will hold a symposium to discuss affiliation with the US National Student Association Sunday at 1:30 p.m. in the Ecumenical Center 104.

Bishop James Pike
will speak
By STAN METZLER News Editor
The Rt. Rev. James A. Pike, recently resigned Episcopal Bishop of California, will speak Monday at 3:15 in Bovard Auditorium on the topic, “Is There a New Morality?”
His appearance, which will include the speech and a question-answer period, will be sponsored by the Great Issues Forum. It is the forum's second presentation of the year.
Bishop "Pike hit the news earlier this year when a number of his fellow bishops threatened to bring charges of hereticism against him for what they considered his radical stands on a number of fundamental Christian doctrines.
USC GRADUATE
Last month he resigned his bishopry to join Robert Hutchins’ Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions at Santa Barbara.
Bishop Pike graduated from USC with an A.B. in pre-law in 1934, and received an Ll.D. from the School of Law in 1936.
He has since spoken on campus for such occasions as Baccalaureate addresses, ministers’ convocations, Sunday worship services and various school functions.
He has often made news because of his outspoken spiritual views, which have prompted three threats of heretical charges against him and given him national prominence.
Monday
Among these views are untradi-tional expressions on the Trinity, the birth of Christ, morals, speaking in tongues, inspiration of the Bible and ecumenism.
In the last few years he has also made news with comments on such secular concerns as police brutality, Luci Johnson's conversion, the Gold-water presidential nomination and th° Kennedy assassination.
DEAN CAUTIONS AGAINST VIOLENCE
The USC-UCLA game is onp of the last major cross-town rivalries still in existence in this country. Its continuance from year to year is always conditional upon the absence of serious problems growing out of rivalry.
As excitement and enthusiasm builds for the long-anticipated contest I would remind the student body that there is a long standing agreement between the two universities that USC students apprehended on the UCLA campus without a good and substantial reason for being there will have their I.D.s confiscated and returned to this campus.
Disciplinary action will be taken against the students thus identified. The same procedure applies to UCLA students apprehended on our campus, of course.

cause the students were angry at faculty members who were bribed by the regime. We were being taught lies and that’s what we were fighting against,” he said.
But what began as an internal campus problem became a national incident as Peron’s police were summoned to the campus to quell the noisy students.
“This was unheard of,” Kelly explained.
But the police swarmed onto the campus, and in the ensuing melee sporadic shooting broke out, the police were stoned and many students were beaten and thrown in jail after having been dispersed by tear gas bombs.
Peron finally shut down the university for 10 days so that he could revamp its staff, making sure all those who taught and studied there agreed with him.
“We either had to be ‘yes-men’ to Peron or not attend classes. But when Peron was overthrown the next year, the university again became a place of freedom and education,” Kelly said.

Kelly was asked to compare the Buenos Aires riots with those at Berkeley.	#
“We had a different situation in Argentina — our actual freedom was being threatened,” he said.
“We were faced with suppression of all our liberties. That's not the case in Berkeley, where the rioting seems to be just for kicks or violence as a demonstration against all constituted authority,” he said.
Could student riots ever take place at USC?
“If we ever had a riot here it would have to be over something very serious and close to home.. The students here are more concerned with their studies than with outside politics,” Kelly said.
“But I really see no possibility of riots here because there’s more respect for tradition and authority than at other schools.
“Besides, the people here are vegy conservative and t key don’t want to see their foundations shaken,’*
