tion between John Rousselot, noted proponent of John Birchism, and Louis Lomax, controversial television personality and civil rights leader.
CIVIL RIGHTS TOPIC
The topic of the debate will be “Civil Disobedience—Yes or No?" Each man will open with a 20-min-ute introduction, followed by two rebuttals from each. A microphone will be circulated in the audience for questions to which both men will respond.
Rousselot. director of public rela tions for the Birch Society, served one term as a representative to the S7th Congress from 1960-1962, when he became the first person to introduce the Birch Society into the Congressional Record. He was defeated in the next election. He is also a former state chairman of the Young Republicans.

The debate will be a rematch of an earlier debate at Glendale College, which was televised throughout California. It was arranged through Dave Deloach. Los Angeles County president of YR. who has appeared in an antagonistic capacity on Lomax's television show on several occasions.
Tickets will be available at the door or may be obtained by calling Dave Berg at 746-7519.
Prof thinks Pakistanis have will to succeed
By GREGORY KRL YLAK
The Pakistanis have a very strong will to succeed." Dr. John D. 'Gerlet-ti. probably USC’s most traveled public administration professor, said in a Daily Trojan interview.
Dr. Gerletti leaves Monday on a jaunt — almost routine by now — to Pakistan.
In 1962. Dr. Gerletti went to Karachi. to help with the National Institute of Public Administration. In lT*65 he returned to USC.
In that three • year period. Dr. Gerletti averaged about 5.000 miles everV month.
Dr. Gerletti s trip will be considerably shorter than his last one. While in Pakistan he plans to participate in an urban development conference at the institute in Karachi, to be at the dedication of a new insti-
tute building and to review the projects’ progress.
He will return to USC in November.
Gerletti has seen Pak’stan as few outsiders ever see it. He saw the slums, disease, squalor, and the rampant poverty. But one thing he didn't see much of wras disillusionment.
Gerletti has been working on a USC project in connection with the institute. The institute now has three public administration centers: one in Lahore, one in Dacca and one in Karachi.
The institute is also helping the Public Administration Department at the University of Panjab in Lahore.
USC has brought about 80 Pakistanis here to study public administration since the project began in 1957. 13 Pakistanis are now on campus under the program.

TIP's frosh rep may be out of race
By KATHY GALLOWAY
The Trojan Independent Party elected Paul Linke as a candidate for freshman class representative yesterday.
However, he may not be an official candidate since he missed the deadline for taking out a petition by 20 minutes yesterday.
Election cochairman Laury Scott will decide today at 1 p.m. whether Linke may run as-.an official candidate, John Medford. TIP executive council member, said.
“REALLY BELIEVE”
In his speech at yesterday’s TIP meeting, Linke said, “I really believe in the freshman class here. They won’t sit back—they won’t take no for an answer.”
“I like USC. I want to stay here. However, I do believe in HP's issues.” he said.
TIP is seeking a student book-bartering center on campus, a rally area, liberalized lockout and dress regulations and use of alcohol on th£ Row and in dorms.
Bob Griff, who ran against Linke for the endorsement, said that although other groups have advocated these reforms, nothing had been done.
In his speech he said, “TIP goes out of its way to be progressive and get things done. Paul and I are both for TIP and we’re both for USC.”
Griff conceeded and gave hi3 support to his opponent Linke after Linke was endorsed.
NO SOPHS
No sophomore candidate was endorsed because none attended the meeting.
TIP wants fraternity support for Linke, and predicted that there are many people who want these reforms and will vote for Linke although they are unable to come to the meetings.
President Mike Mayock was optimistic about the outcome of the election. "We have people who are willing to work,” he said. “I think we can win.”
Year of Horse in decorations
By ELLIOT ZWIEBACH Editorial Director
If the rain god doesn't put a damper on things again this year, house decorations will rise arojnd campus on Nov. 17.
Last year’s decorations didn’t quite come off because the entire week preceding the UCLA-Rose Bowl showdown featured rain as the main attraction.
Weather permitting, this year's house decorations will proceed as scheduled, interpreting a theme of “The Year of the Horse.”
“This theme has a double significance,” Larry Hall, house decorations committee chairman said.
CHINESE YEAR
“The Chinese year, which will end this February after the Rose Bowl, is ‘the Year of the Horse.' And Traveler. the Trojan Horse, is retiring at the end of this season,” he explained.
Applications for house decorations are available today through next Friday in the Student Activities Office in the YWCA. An entry fee of $3 is required of groups who paid to enter last year. All others must pay $5.
Groups may enter in one of four divisions: fraternity, sorority, dormitory or University Avenue.
No size limitations have been set for this year’s Row and dorm decorations. but University Avenue floats are limited.
A $75 maximum has been set on stationary floats on the Row and in front of tte dorms. The maximum for University Avenue floats is $35.
said.
“To people w'ho have never seen a map. there is no concept or feeling of their nation or the outside world. This is the same problem that faces India and the newly independent African nations.”
DIFFERENT LANGUAGE
The great variety of ethnic groups, the tribesmen, the lowlanders. the hill people—all speaking different languages and regarding each other with traditional animosities—contribute to the absence of a national identity. she said.
Concentrating her lecture on the village life of 3.200 Vietnamese of the Mekong Delta, Dr. Moore said the cultivation of rice is a traditional occupation involving every member of the community.
The farmers are very marginal in their economic circumstances and essentially grow rice only to provide food for the family. The surplus, if any. is then sold to a rice merchant.
“The Khanh Hau farmers used to take their product to Saigon. 40 miles away, where they could get a better price than from the local rice merchants.” she said.
WAR HINDERANCE
“But with the hindrance of the w'ar, there are now 56 checkpoints on the main road, and bribery and corruption are common ftt these places. It is no longer worth the villagers while to go to the once-better market in Saigon.”
Many times the villager does not even have a surplus to sell to the local merchant since land rent and costs of equipment and extra labor drain his money.
Dr. Moore said UNESCO has run a school in Khanh Hau since 1958, but that it operates in a vacuum.
The literacy rate is 70 per cent, but there is only one newspaper available at the council house (a community eenter).
The people have no way of getting outside news, so the greatest source of outside information is talking with other people.
The villagers have never whole* heartedly supported a central government in South Vietnam since a government is so often associated wdth taxes and conscription.” she said.
Brown and his money soon parted-Flournoy
Houston I. Flournoy, a strong supporter of Ronald Reagan, criticized Governor Brown’s administration for spending more money than revenues have produced in a campus speech yesterday.
He predicted the administration will have many accumulated deficits as a result of Brown’s obsession with empty pocketbooks.
Flournoy, Republican candidate for state controller, spoke to about 20 people in Hancock Auditorium.
He also proposed leaving control of schools in the hand of local government.
He said the costs of higher education in the next few years will become so high that it is only reasonable that tuition be considered for state institutions of higher education.
Welfare is one area which can be economized to relieve the budget. This can be done if a proper program is put into effect which will get people off the welfare roles, Flournoy said.
Reagan, if elected, will have a difficult time getting rid of all the
deficits that will be left for him by the former administration, he said. It will be his job to look ahead to anticipate future problems instead of always looking backward at what has been done.
Whoever is elected state controller must revise the system of keeping the state's financial books in order that it may be more beneficial, Flournoy said.
Flournoy's appearance was part of Election Analysis '66, sponsored by campus political organizations, the Political Science Department and Pi Sigma Alpha.
Thomas Braden, president of the State Board of Education, will speak on behalf of Gov. Brown tonight at 7:30 in David Marks Hall.
Spencer Williams, GOP candidate for attorney general, will speak on behalf of RonaJd Reagan.
These speakers will be sponsored by Phi Delta Kappa, education fraternity for men.
The speeches will be preceeded by a 6:30 dinner in the Faculty Center.
Bird in
cage worth 2 yrs. abroad
A team of Peace Corps recruiters will be on campus today for the final time this year. Their table, in front of the Student Union, will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
By MARSHA SCARBROUGH Associate Pet Editor
When Mike Gale came home from serving with the Peace Corps in Venezuela, he brought Hogan with him.
Yesterday, he brought Hogan to visit USC.
Hogan is a brilliantly colored Ma-mw parrot. He spent yesterday oerched in front of the Student Union amusing passers-by and Peace Corps recruiters.
Gale, a former USC student and football player, bought the bird from a Venezuelan Indian for $5. The same bird would cost $300 to $500 in the United States.
Since he hails from a South American country but lives in the U.S., Hogan is bilingual. He says hel-
lo	and hola (that’s Spanish for hello). He also says his name and “Ven Aca,” which is Spanish for “come here.”
Gale said several of his colleagues were able to bring home monkeys, parrots and rodents.
“Not only are the Vietnamese people troubled by foreign occupation and war, they face a problem common to all underdeveloped countries —a great lack of national identity and unity,” Dr. Sally Moore, associate professor of anthropology, said in a lecture yesterday in Harris Hall.
“In the village of Khanh Hau, for example, the focus is on village lif° and subsistence of the family.’’ 3he
