Fraternity scores on
'Revenge'
"Revertgc” is the only word on Sigma Alpha Epsilon's winning entry in Troy Week's banner contest, but the illustration says more.
The red and gold banner shows a Bruin in blue uniform with a grey ■crew through its stomach. The artists for the SAE s were Jeff Finley and Ron Altoon.
The SAE's will thus have their banner hung on Von KleinSmid Tower, facing the Harbor Freeway, with their Greek letters added to identify the house.
DIDN'T MAKE IT
Five houses, the SAE s. Phi Kappa Psi. Lambda Chi Alpha. Tau Epsilon Phi and Phi Delta Chi, entered banners.
Several other houses made unsuccessful efforts to make a sign.
One fraternity painted their banner on the roof of their house, but forgot to bring it in over the weekend. The rain washed it out.
Another house made a sign, but folded it before it was completely dry and ended up with smudged paint.
The winning banner will hang on the Von KleinSmid tower all next week until the UCLA game.
Judges were Greg Kieselmann and Elliot Zwiebach.

‘‘Let's face it, baby, the American Negro is just not a human being in our society today,” a white Watts minister told a campus audience yesterday.
“The black man must keep pushing. nastily, in any manner or means to keep the damned whites aware of his plight.” he said.
Rev. Maury Samuels, an Episcopalian pastor working with the Westminister Community Action Project, told an SDS meeting that Black Power is the only way for the Negro to make himself a part of society — a society which doesn't want him.
He placed the blame on whites, who he said live in a free enterprise society only to the extent of self-interest and are content to just sit back and scream violence.
"Black Power has only made the whites more open in identifying their bigotry.” Mr. Samuels, the only white man allowed in Watts during the riots, said.
"I point to the election of Reagan as an example. All of us are guilty of de facto segregation and thus of dehumanizing a mass of human beings.
"There are just not enough white
men decent enough the problem.
to grapple with
"Tlie black man is going to move in his way and if we don’t like it, we can move over. The role is not to change the black society but the white community.”
Mr. Samuels admitted he would have to agree with Stokely Carmichael's definition of Black Power, as it is the most threatening to the white society. In essence, Carmichael advocates Malcolm X's contention, "whatever is necessary to find the black man's proper place in the confines of America." said Mr. Samuels.
"They work to keep the black man in his place. So for $75, you can buy off a young man who is worth a hell of a lot more in his potential alone,” he explained.
Mr. Samuels also considered the first election of a Negro senator, in Massachusetts, no real gain for the black man because he’s married to a white woman and is a Republican.
"The black man won't settle for one here and one there, he wants a massive change.” he said.
"If Edward Brookes has enough guts to be a maverick senator, he could help the cause, but I think he'll go along playing the games.”
would like to thank my two campaign managers who helped in my campaign and I would also like to thank everyone for their support.
"I was disappointed in the turnout but I hope to improve interest before the year's over.
"I promise to do everything I can to show that their confidence wasn't misled by making the freshman class one of the main sources of building our constitution into a useful government on campus,” he said.
Lindsay's platform included strengthening and stabilizing the present ASSC Constitution and forming a Communications Committee for freshmen to air their complaints and contribute their ideas.
He said he will announce soon where freshmen may sign up for positions on the committee.
t
Linke, the defeated candidate, said: "I would like to congratulate Kevin on his victory. I do feel, however. that I was not defeated by my opponent, but by student apathy.-’
He went on to say that he felt his ideas were what he considered best for both the freshman class and the university.
Explaining why he felt he was defeated by student apathy, he said
"Unfortunately Kevin was sick at least all of last week and the week before. He made no appearances at any of the dorms and the only tim* anyone really heard what he had to say was at the debate that I challenged him to. Even at the debatp there were only about 40 people there so I can t really see how peopl* can vote for someone they know nothing about."

3 Fine Gentlemen
Art Buchwald, nationally syndicated columnist, received an award at last year’s Awards Dinner and was invited to attend this year. Since he will be unable to be there tonight, he sent this letter about this year’s award-winners.—The Editor.
By ART BUCHWALD Former DT Columnist
I regret that I can’t attend the USC Distinguished Awards Dinner but as far as I’m concerned, you couldn’t have selected three finer gentlemen than Bill Attwood, Walter Cronkite and Drew Pearson.
I would like to give you some background on these three men that you might not already have.
I first met Bill Attwood when he worked for me as porter on safari carrying elephant tusks on his head through the rain forests of Kenya.
Tied by a string to his wraist was a tattered and worn copy of the “Reader's Digest.” I asked him what he w’as doing with it and he said, “Master, don’t beat me. I want to be newspaper man.”
I was so impressed with his English that as soon as I got back to the United States, I contacted several friends and we arranged to send him on a scholarship to Princeton.
It’s obvious Attwood has fulfilled our wildest dreams and all of us who were involved in bringing him to the United States are very proud of him. We only hope he goes back to Kenya and teaches the other people there the skills he has learned so well in the United States.
Walter Cronkite is also a very dear friend of mine.
I first met Walter when he was the radio operator on the Lusitania.
It was a clear, lovely night with the moon shining and people were dancing to a stringed orchestra.
I was sending a cable to J. P. Morgan and Walter was the only one on duty. As he took the cable, I noticed he had a wonderful clear lilt to his voice and I asked him what he intended to do after the Lusitania sank.
He said he’d probably go into TV and I urged him to do it. He has been a great asset to the communications business and we've all been very proud of him.
It's very rare that a Hungarian Freedom Fighter can pick up English so fast and make the impact he has on the American scene.
Drew Peaison is also a very dear associate of mine. He is a sensitive shy person who never likes to hurt anyone's feelings.
He has made more friends in Washington than any other journalist I know and he is beloved by Presidents, senators,, congressmen and libel lawyers throughout the country.
Drew first started out .working for me as my leg man on the old Emporia Gazette.
One day he decided to branch out on his own, but I warned him to stay away from politics. He took my advice and turned out to be the most successful Wild-Life columnist in the country.
Senator Dodd and I are terribly saddened that we can't be there tonight to see him accept this award.
Sincerely yours.

a successful beheading and amass utorming of Elsinore's celebrated ramparts.
Speaking at th* Faculty Association luncheon. John Blankenchip. Bill White and Robert Windell related incidents of the USC drama team's participation in the Edinburgh International Festival that added up to what a London embassy official termed “a great credit on your university and our country as a whole.”
The reception they received was recently noted favorably by Martin Carroll, deputy cultural attache at London's American Embassy, when he wrote President Topping:
"The impact of your representatives w’as such that the festival will never be the same again. It appropriately introduced from our country elements of accomplished profession alism. program nchnes*. variety and •■ontemporaneity.
PLAY ‘HAMLET*
Speaking to the faculty. Blankenchip recounted the original difficulties encountered wrhen TWA flight reservations were switched to SAS because of the airlines strike.
But the change happily involved a switch to Copenhagen and a stay at Elsinore’s Prince Hamlet Hotel, where after beer and sandwiche? Blankenchip related, "some of our characters proceeded to play Hamlet'* up and down the castle's ramparts.''
The problems of staging were no less difficult than the trip over was pleasant, for no sooner did the troupe arrive than they found their theater was what Windell described as "somewhere between a hall. Greek Temple and bam.”
DARK GARMENTS
They nevertheless opened three nights after arriving, and in their first week-long set of plays featured a beheading scene accomplished through the use of dark velvet gar ments and a strong light shining just over the audience's head.
• While the black-garbed second moved around the stage unseen by the audience, the original actor s supposed head "bounced on the floor while we started a Salome dance. Blankenchip explained
But the efforts were apparentlj successful all around. For not only were the American embassy and British critics roundly impressed, but an Oxford University instructor, White revealed, has recently written the department.
It seems they wanted to remind them of an obligation to visit the famed institution on their trip next year, "to show the administration what a creative college program can accomplish.”
