Lack of Support Cited As i-House Weakness

Bashir, a graduate student in accounting, commented that after almost a year of deadlock, the I-house lias drafted a new constitution.
“This new constitution makes the full pledged cooperation of all members even more important if we are to succced in attaining our goals,’’ he noted.

Speaking of his future role as a
By ANN SALISBURY Asst. Frog Editor
Rude Ralph and Linda Lee are two slimy frogs. Not only do they feel cold and squishly but they are champion jumpers.
The frisky frogs are entrants in Ihe First Annual Circle K Frog Jumping Contest, and Mike Mayock, chairman of the contest, is sure the Circle K entry. Rude Ralph, will win.
The contest will be on the Row May 4. in conjunction with the Phi Sigma Kappa Relays. Any group may sponsor a frog, and the winning group will receive a trophy.
All competing frogs will be placed in the center of a circle. The frog that jumps to the edge of the circle first will be declared winner of the contest.
“Circle K will pay the entry and transportation fees for the champion frog to enter the Annual World Championships at Angel's Camp in Calavaras County. The championships will be from May 17-21,” Mayock said.
“If a frog breaks a world's record in that contest, its sponsor will receive $5,000. The Calavaras County contest is one of the biggest betting events in the world of frog-jumping. It's the Kentucky Derby of frog jumping,” he noted.
Mayock claimed Rude Ralph was the unofficial Class D 1966 champion of Calavaras County.
“He has grown for a year now and has put on more weight, however. I hope he hasn't been gorging himself on buckshot.
(In Bret Harte's famous short
council representative he said he rep-lesents “all foreign students, regardless of their nationality, race, religion or cultural background.”
Although he is not in an executive position. Khan hopes that by voicing the demands and opinions of foreign students he will be able to help fuse foreign and American relations.
Other newiy elected I-House leaders are Luci Hino, Vice President: and Adama Toungara. Nader Os-koui. and Alfredo Madura, representatives on the I-House board.
The United States representatives are Clyde Doheney and Toni Moliet.
story which inspired the Calavaras County Frog Contest, the losing frog was filled with buckshot.)
“We think he might be a real sleeoer this year. I'm not too sure whether that's good or not, though. Nonetheless, we think Rude Ralph can beat any entry any other campus organization puts up.” Mayock said.
“For groups having trouble finding frogs to enter. I w’ould offer the following suggestions of places to look: muddy swamps, rain puddles, biology labs when the professor isn’t looking, or the faint-hearted may buy them at a frog farm.”
Mayock said the closest frog farm to USC is the Brescia Frog Farm, 2809 N. Wilmington, Compton. Calif., 90223. The phone number is 636-1391.
If Rude Ralph is a sleeper and won't jump well, members of the Daily Trojan Staff can testify to the fact that he deserves his name—he is most definitely rude.
One DT reporter was holding him while he was being interviewed. Ralph, as is typical of frogs, was not shy; he w-as totally unconcerned, and even hostile.
While he was resting calmly on the reporter’s shoulder, he demonstrated his appreciation by performing a normal body function there. He was quickly removed.
Linda Lee, the smaller of the two frogs, wras more courteous. She energetically hopped all around the city room leaving a trail of moisture behind her. Mayock noted that she jumped consistently to the right.
BEAUTY AND THE BEASTS—Phratere Martha Liles stands behind pictures of the all-star cast playing in Phrateres' Ugly Man contest. Each vote costs one cent, the proceeds will be used for the Student Emergency Loan Fund.
GOING SOMEWHERE?—Mike Mayock, chairman of the First Annual Circle K Frog Jumping Contest, puts one of his entrants, Linda Lee, through her training paces. The frog jumping contest will be held on the Row May 4.
Single Assassin Theory Queryed
By PATTI REID
“What kind of a principled nation that was raped, goes on with business as usual and allows the rapist to attack again?” a representative of the Commission of Inquiry into the Assassination of President Kennedy asked here Friday.
“What if the assassins are walking the streets today?” Steve Burton, the final speaker in a Trojan Young Democrats series questioned.
The last of three speakers in its week-long inquiry into "Who Killed President Kennedy?” Burton contended the single-assassin theory was invalid, that an conspiracy did indeed exist.
He emphasized that the public could not only feel the attack on the president, but could also see the system on which this nation was founded had broken down.
Supporting his main point that Americans are certain of little about the assassination. Burton outlined the technical problems existing in the Warren Commission’s report.
CENTRAL ISSUES
He compared the two cases to a table. The critic’s case is supported by legs that can be knocked down and leave the central issues still standing, he said.
In contrast, he saw basic, questions unanswered in the Warren Com-
gether by a single chain of evidence. If one of the legs were knocked down, the table would fall.
The critics see four major incon-sistancies in the Warren Commission's findings: the single bullet theory, discrepancy over the direction of the bullet, question on the opportunity to commit murder and the timing of the assassination.
Critics have also found dozens of points on which the Warren Commission fails, Burton said.
Suggesting that the “lone-demented nut” theory is a cover-up with many minor inconsistancies, he said the American people are being deceived.
Photographs. X-ray&.and the National Archives are closed to the public and during the investigation, proceedings were held in private executive meeting, he said.
“Only in the public's full view can we be certain what is really going on.
"To turn our backs on something that may be distasteful is not the answer.
“Two-thirds of the Americans doubt the Commission's report — 66 percent doubt the Commission and 25 percent want a new investigation. We need massive public action. The campaign has to be re-opened.
“There is only one alternative, we must find out who killed John Ken-
mission's report, which was held to- nedy,” he said.
Economics Critical' -

By DON KRUGER
“The problem of economic growth is one of the most pressing, critical problems of our time,” Dr. Evesy Domar, MIT professor of economics, said in a lecture here Thursday.
Addressing a meeting of Omicron Delta Epsilon, economics honor society, Dr. Domar traced the theories of economic development through history.
“Economic growth is an issue which permeates almost every political, social, and economic discussion,” he said.
Theories of economic development found their modern beginnings in
RESOLUTION CALLS FOR INTERNAL REFORM
TYD Now Supports USC-NSA Affiliation
Trojan Young Democrats voted last week to support USC’s affiliation with the National Student Association on a trial basis.
The TYD resolution was written by Steve Beidner, vice-president, and was passed with a vote of 72 percent yes and 28 percent no.
The resolution wras a substitute for one calling for unconditional endorsement of USC's participation in NSA.
“The substitute calls for USC’s representatives to NSA to w’ork for that group’s reform internally,” Beidner explained.
“The object of this reform would be to make NSA an organization which would represent the views of the students across the country on the vital issues of the day.
“The best way for students to make use of their growing influence is by joining together. These aims can be accomplished by working within NSA rather than working outside of it.”
The resolution emphasized the growing in-
fluence of the college student, the fact there is no effective organization for the expression of student opinion on current issues and the benefits of NSA outnumber the disadvantages.
The TYD resolution encouraged reform by changing NSA’s direction to that of an organization devoted to the discussion of political issues. It also proposed that the NSA representative should be elected on political issues in order to truly represent the student body.	e
In opposition to TYD's stand on NSA affiliation, Shelley Linderman, TYD president, felt that the present structure of NSA was unrepresentative.
“USC should not join this year but should send observers to the convention as has been done in the past,” Linderman commented.
“I urge that NSA be reformed so that delegates are elected and not appointed.”
TYD’s stand left the Trojan Young Republicans as virtually the only major organization campaigning against USC’s affiliation.
The Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic have not changed their votes on NSA, but their opposition is considered a reflection of their members’ feeling, rather than a definite stand on the organizations’ parts.
The second NSA campaign has differed drastically from the first, with large posters, outside speakers and charges of rule violations not appearing in this round.
Linda Dulgarian, TYR president, noted that her organization, depleted of funds and facing May elections, will limit its campaiging to personal opinions.
“We will probably win,” she told the Daily Trojan last week.
“I think we won last time and I think we will win again.”
The ASSC, meanwhile, has arranged several dorm and Row discussions to promote their position on favor of affiliating. Discussion leaders will consist entirely of student officers.
Adam Smith's 18th century “Wealth of Nations,” which advocated diligent saving and capital investment as the key to economic progress.
However, it was not until just before W.W.n that economic expansion was recognized as a f ie 1 d of widespread implications.
A flurry of elementary’ economic growth studies attempted to find models to accurately predict future fluctuations in the Gross National Product simply on the assumption that productivity would expand, he explained.
The most notable result w’as the Keynesian model in which the GNP was simply the product of consump-t i o n , investment and government spending. “But useful though it wa3, Keynes’ model lacked sophistication,” Dr. Domar said.
The factors of production—land, labor, capital and technology — are rudimentary in any growth model: and a shifting of emphasis of these factors has led to the development of several different economic models, he explained.
In the early models, saving and investment were stressed to the exclusion of technology.
Later, better models embody labor, capital and technology with equal emphasis.
Referring to governmental intervention in economic affairs. Dr. Domar suggested that “perhaps the best solution would be for government to create an atmosphere conducive to experimentation of growth studies.”
“Economic growth is an issue which permeates almost every political, social and economic discussion,” he said.
