A proposal that student tickets for the Alabama-USC football game Sept. 10 be distributed before the end of this semester will be presented to the ASSC Council this afternoon at a
--
Fall registration packets available
Students may pick up fall registration packets today and tomorrow at the old Law School building according to the following schedule: H-K,
9 a.m. to noon, today; L-O,
1 to 4 p.m. today; P-S, 9 a.m. to noon, Wednesday; T-Z, 1 to 4 p.m, Wednesday.
Students whose last names begin with the letters A-G may pick up their packets and cards today or tomorrow, since their letters came up yesterday.
4 p.m. meeting in the Student Activities Center.
Bill Pettinghill. one of the sponsors of the proposal, said that since the game is scheduled two weeks before the fall semester begins many students will not be here.
With this plan, the ticket office will know how many students will attend the game and will be able to make additional tickets available to the general public, insuring both a large crowd and extra revenue for the university.
Pettinghill said a committee of five students was formed about two weeks ago in the office of Daniel Nowak, assistant vice-president for student affairs, to come up with a proposal for distribution of football tickets.
Another proposal, to retain the present system of distribution of activity books with unreserved football tickets for each game, excluding the Alabama game, will also be presented tomorrow. Pettinghill is also one of the authors of this proposal.
The appointment of students to university committees will also be discussed at the ASSC meeting. The council will not be appointing an interim president in light of the Student Court decision yesterday.
“R” class cards may also be picked up at the old Law School according to the following schedule: A-C, 9 a.m. to noon, Thursday; D-G, 1 to 4 p.m., Thursday; H-K, 9 a.m. to noon, Friday; L-O, 1 to 4 p.m., Friday; P-S, 9 a.m. to noon, Monday; T-Z, 1 to 4 p.m., Monday.

P.E., LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS
By GUNTHER MERLE
The Student Court declared yesterday that the ASSC Executive Council’s attempt to appoint an interim president is unconstitutional.
The Court upheld the decision of the council to postpone the presidential election until next fall and declared that Joel Rosenzweig, vice-president for programs, should serve as president until that time.
The court considered a brief submitted by Tom Levyn, former vice-president for programs, on behalf of Kent Clemence, candidate for ASSC president. The brief asked that the Lacy-McNamara resolution, passed last week by the council, be declared unconstitutional.
The resolution, put before the council by Jim Lacy, sophomore representative, and Jack McNamara, independent representative, asked that the presidential election be delayed until fall and directed the council to appoint an interim president to serve until the election.
Levyn’s brief cited, as support for his request, section VI-2A of the ASSC constitution which states that elections shall be held no later than the twelfth week of the spring semester.
Levyn maintained that if the ASSC president is not elected by the twelfth week, he should be elected as soon thereafter as possible.
In its unanimous decision, the court cited section VI-2E of the ASSC constitution, which states that positions vacated since the spring election will be open to candidates in the fall election. The court said that the council has the power to set election dates, and found parts one and three of the Lacy-McNamara resolution constitutional. which put the presidential election off until next fall.
The court declared as unconstitutional part two of the resolution, which would have had the council appoint an interim president. The court’s decision read, “It is the opinion of the Student Court that as the ASSC president has not yet been elected, neither succession nor appointment by the council can take place.”
The court said that the president’s duties would be fulfilled by the vice-president for programs.
Dan Levinson, chief justice, and Justices Bruce Mitchell, Steve Knowles, Jerry Reitman, Mike Yagjian, Lyle Morris and Ron Palmieri (the court’s full seven-man membership), participated in the decision.
Levyn said he would abide by the court’s decision. He said he does not plan to appeal.
McNamara disagreed with the court. “If you can t replace someone who’s not there, how can you succeed someone who’s not there?” he asked.
Mark Spitzer, ASSC independent representative, asked how the court was able to decide an issue such as this, involving a void in the constitution, since the court is an appointed body and the council is an elected body.
When asked how he felt, Rosenzweig replied, “I’m flabbergasted and almost offended.” He said that he had originally not intended to run even for vice-president of programs and did not want to become president.
He said, “I'm going to have to accept this responsibility. I will function to the best of my ability.
“I will ask the advice of Mr. Jones, Mr. McGuinness, and Mr. Clemence (presidential candidates) before making any appointments to university committees.” Rosenzweig said he would be in his office tomorrow to talk to them.
He urged students to apply for the committees and to submit, along with their applications, their assessments of the university committee system.
A camera crew from KCET, invaded the father Sam Hurst IV, chairman of the School of
campus yesterday to tape an interview between Architecture. The interview will be aired as a

Proposals to committee
The ASSC propositions attempting to abolish the mandatory physical education and foreign language requirements will be written into a motion and presented on the agenda of the next University Curriculum Committee in June.
If the committee passes the proposals, they will probably not go into effect until fall 1972, since the academic requirements for next year have already been set and announced in the university bulletin.
ASSC members do not know whether these proposals will be retroactive if passed.
The other three propositions which received student approval have not yet been formed into official proposals or motions. However. Stan DiOrio, ASSC graduate representative, said these propositions will be presented to the proper university authorities.
The three other propositions are:
• The proposal for immediate
Ticket proposal to be debated
