Bargain bonanza
The Daily Trojan is distributing twice as many newspapers as ifc usually does today.
The reason is the rain. It rained so hard yesterday that Operations and Maintenance could not distribute the DT.
So, yesterday's newspaper is being distributed along with today’s.
Double the paper, double the fun ...

'SCREAM; HE'S A COWARD'
(This is the second in a three-part series on rape—as the psychologist sees it, as the policeman sees it, and as the coed sees it—The Editor.)
By HAL LANCASTER City Editor
The crew-cut. square jawed man pointed out to the audience, acknowledging the waving hand of a girl.
It had to be a girl. Except for the speaker and the reporter, everyone in the room was a girl. They were there partly out of curiosity, partly out of fear.
This particular girl, slender, with dark hair, asked: "What should you do in case. well, what happened was . . . th>5 man drove by me three times while I was walking down the street. This was earlier in the year. He stopped all three times and asked me if I wanted a ride.
I was sort of dumb and I didn't know what to do.”
All the questions w^ere like that. Some were even more to the point. What does a girl do when she is attacked?
•ALL THE WAY’
“I'll be honest with you. There comes a point when you just can't fight. I've told my wife, frankly, sometimes you should jast give in. If you decide to fight, make up your mind to fight all the way or do nothing.
If you have scissors, you don't scratch him; that's not going to do anything but make him mad. You've got to decide to stick it in all the
way.”
The girls didn't like that idea, but Capt. William Sunyich wasn't kidding. A man who has been on the police force for a long time doesn’t
kid about rape.
Capt. Sunyich has been a policeman for more than 20 years. He is stationed at the University Division police station, which serves USC and the surrounding area. He is a graduate of USC in public administration, and teaches a class here in vice and narcotics control. The Women's Hall Asociation asked him 10 speak about rape.
He knows a lot about rapists. He’s met quite a few.
"First of all. the rapist is a coward,” he said. “Even when he has a gun, if the woman screams, he will flee in this direction or that. He does not like noise or commotion.
•
‘‘This is a darkness type of offense. Hence, I say to you. seek light.”
Capt. Sunyich spent much of the time reassuring the girls, who had gathered in the Harris Hall lounge to hear him.
‘CLEAN AREA’
“As a comrriunity, this little area, Use and its surrounding area, is pretty clean, crimewise,” he said. “Recorded crime, that is. I have another area in my precinct that’s much worse than this. I get several rapes from that area each week.”
But the girls at USC aren't reassured. No matter how many times the statistics are thrown at them, many refuse to believe. They want to know about the rapist, and they want to know how to avoid being raped.
"To me, all these guys are unbalanced,” Capt. Sunyich said. “Some people try to make this a racial thing, but I don’t buy it. It's a fact that most of the attackers in this area are Negro. But then, so is the
area.
"‘The guys we picked up in the USC series of rapes a few months ago said thej^ did it because the girls were white, but that doesn’t prove
anything.”
Some of the questions the girls asked brought frightening answers
from the policeman.
One girl was bewildered. “I don't understand how a guy can physically rape a girl. You have so much you can do.”
“If he is the attacker type you're not going to talk him out of it,” he said. “At some point, you’re either going to do something drastic or give in.

$25 diploma exchange ups law grads' standing

Twenty-five cents and a box top from Brand X may give the boy next door a Dr. Kildare stethoscope, but $25 and a Bachelor of Laws (L.L.B) degree from USC can make a law graduate a doctor.

Model UN delegation posts open
Many of today’s youth are not waiting to inherit the world’s problems tomorrow. Some students want to tackle them now.
Many of these students will attend a Model United Nations session in April at Lewis and Clark College, Portland, Ore.
Applications for positions on USC’s delegation will be available at the International Relations Department, 330 Von KleinSmid Center, until Nov. 19.
A selection committee consisting of Wayne Daniels, delegation chairman, Farrokh Safavi, Susan Helma and Anne Menne will review the apr plications and interview the applicants.
10 MEMBERS
The USC delegation will have approximately 10 members, and students with experience in Model UN meetings will receive priority.
The four-day session will host 1.200 students from universities and colleges in the 13 Western states.
A delegation from each participating school will represent a UN member and sponsor resolutions to help its country and the world. USC will represent the Republic of Tunisia.
Last year, eight USC students represented the Republic of South Africa at the session in San Francisco.
program to reduce the high cost of education, but an attempt to bring order to the system of awarding law degrees.
Since February, the School of Law has conferred the degree of Juris Doctor (J.D.) on its graduates. Now the Board of Trustees, on the recommendation of the Law School faculty, has authorized alumni to substitute J.D. degrees for their LL.B. degrees.
An alumnus who wishes to exchange diplomas must send in his old one and a check for $25. He will then receive a new diploma, currently dated, but certifying that he is a Juris Doctor as of the date of the original degree.
3,000 EXPECTED
Almost all response has been favorable, a secretary at the Law School said yesterday. In addition to added prestige, the new degree carries pay increases for some, she explained.
Approximately 190 diplomas have been returned so far, and a total of
3,000	is expected, with the bulk coming during the next few months.

Following the meeting the national director and local alumni will meet with individuals who are interested in starting a USC chapter.
After the interviews the national fraternity will invite a group of men to rebuild the fraternity, with the aid of the local alumni.
The two fraternities were hit hard by graduation, and the September membership was low.
Tau Delta Phi w'as founded at the New York City College in 1910, and currently has 30 active chapters. Prominent alumni are Hubert Hum-
phrey and Eddie Cantor.
Theta Xi was founded at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1864. It has 68 active chapters currently.

OUTSIDE USC
FOREIGN
A rampaging mob of 120,000 religious fanatics led by ash • smeared Hindu Holy Men stormed the Indian parliament yesterday to demand a law against the slaughter of sacred cows.
When officers fired on the rioters they fought back with bricks, stones, and sticks. Hundreds were injured and at least five may have been killed.
The rioting erupted after militant political groups organized a seven-mile march on the parliament.
NATIONAL
David L. Lawrence, chairman of the President’s Commission on Equal Opportunity in Housing and former governor of Pennsylvania, was re-
ported still close to death yesterday following a heart attack.
Lawrence, 77, wras stricken Friday night while addressing a political rally in Pittsburgh.

If today's elections go as most observers predict, the GOP may gain enough congressional strength to recreate the old coalition tht spelled death to much liberal legislation in the 1940s.
LOCAL
To a standing ovation at the Ambassador Hotel yesterday. Gov. Brown asked, “Will you walk with me?”
The response was thundering. But state polls say Brown will take a short walk in tray's elections.
Both Brown and Ronald Reagan made one last flying trip around California yesterday. On a two hour telethon Sunday Reagan sail riots should be quelched before they have a chance to begin.
If heavy rains continue today, the voter turn-out is expected to drop 5 per cent — an advantage claimed by Reagan supporters.

Nature played a dirty trick on California this November. First it sent 100 degree heat and forest fires. Now comes the driving rain, snow and a miniature tornado.
The forecast for today . . . more more more.
While rain pelts the valley, the season'3 first snow began falling on Mt. Baldy.	4

By HAL LANCASTER City Editor
The rain, all 3.5 inches of it caused late afternoon and evening classes to be called off yesterday. The same may be true today if the rain continues.
And that’s not all.
• The excavations for the Education Building and the Student Activities Center turned into lakes.
• A lamppost on Hoover Street, behind the hole for the Education Building, came tumbling down and left a big dent in the street.
• The Registrar’s Office had minor flooding problems.
Rain came to USC yesterday, in all its various forms — wet, wet and wet — in that order.
Actually, it wasn’t just USC. it wras the entire area. We are not that privileged.
