New Activities Center to be reality in '68
Plans revised to include three-center complex in one
CONSTRUCTION SITE FOR THE STUDENT ACTIVITIES COMPLEX Workers have begun to lay the foundation for the Activities Center which is slated for completion in '68.
By BILL WADE
A new Student Activities Center, something USC students have gone without since 1880, should enter the scene in the spring of ’68.
Anthony Lazzaro, director of campus development, estimated the center would take another 435 days to complete. After 88 years, what's another one and a half?
“After its inception four years ago, the concept of the center has been studied, restudied, and refined by several architects and committees,” Lazzaro said.
“The real challenge for the architects,” he said, existed in the task of coordinating in the complex, the three main centers of student
FACULTY HITS RATING IDEA
Grave doubts for handbook
By ROSS KLUZ
General faculty reaction to the proposed student handbook describing courses and professors has been characterized by expressions of skepticism and pessimism about the entire project.
The overwhelming majority of professors contacted expressed either grave doubts about the ultimate value of the handbook or outright opposition to the project as a whole.
Objections to the handbook fell into three major categories: the qualifications of students to accurately evaluate or “describe” courses and professors, possible results of the publication of the handbook and the ultimate value if the handbook itself.
SERIOUS SKEPTICISM
Despite assurances from the ASSC Committee on Course and Professor Description that there will be “no attempt to evaluate the faculty or the curriculum,” there was a serious skepticism pervading the impressions held by the faculty members.
“What is ‘Professor Description' ?" said one instructor who preferred his name be withheld. “If they are not poing to evaluate a man's teaching and his course, what are they jroing to describe? His tie perhaps?” he said.
If the “description" becomes an evaluation, which some contend would be the only meaningful description possible, then the qualifications of the evaluators becomes a central issue. Dr. Bernard Kantor, professor of cinema, remarked: “Current students are not capable of making iudTments of the faculty or the curriculum. The only valid evaluation would be one made by graduates who
TYR sets membership drive, affiliates with state; county YR's
The Trojan Young Republicans, after several months of independence from any Republican group, decided yesterday to affiliate with the California Young Republicans.
TYR. torn last semester by internal differences, will immediately launch a membership drive and commence its weekly meetings beginning Dec. 8 in 133 Founders Harl.
The last eight months TYR has been divided on such issues as local and national affiliation. The resulting struggle led to TYR’s suspension of activities and near collapse.
However, this year’s program promises guest speakers and activities with similar organizations at other campuses. Linda Dulgarian, TYR president, believes some of this renewed unity is a result of the November's gubernatorial election.
To emphasize the club's resolution, she stated at yesterday's meeting. “I move that we affirm our affiliation with the Los Angeles County Young Republicans, the California Young Republicans, and the National Federation of Young Republicans.”
The new officers elected yesterday are Linda Dulgarian, president; Bob
Barnwell, first vice-president; Dave Berg, second vice-president; Roger Thompson, treasurer; Pat Yeen, recording secretary; and Eilene Ray, corresponding secretary.
TYR's membership presently stands at 85. TYR’s sponsor is Dr. Edward Barker of the School of Business.
have been working in the field of their major for at least two years.”
Dr. Edward O’Neil, professor of classics, flatly stated that he was “unalterably opposed” to the whole project. Regarding evaluations, he said: “I don’t think students are competent to judge either the faculty or the curriculum. After all, we’re not here to please the students. We’re here to educate them.”
Dr. William C. Himstreet. associate dean of the School of Business, felt that the handbook would create more problems than it would solve. He cited the possibility of one instructor being overloaded with students because of his evaluation in the handbook, while others would have few. if any, students registered in their classes. The student distribution would be impossible to successfully deal with. “Besides, the grape-v:ne is probably better than anything
ROSE BOWL TIME! TICKETS FOR SALE
Activity Book holders can purchase Rose Bowl rooter tickets for $3.50 today, tomorrow and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at special booths on 36th Street between the Doheny Library and Town and Gown Residence Hall.
Five hundred Rose Bowl tickets are b?injj made available by lottery to full-time non-academic staff personnel who did not have 1966 season football tickets.
Applications, limited to two tickets per person, may be obtained and deposited at the Bursar’s Office, Owens Hall, before 4:30 p.m., Monday. The tickets are $7.00 each.
In addition, rooter tickets for Saturday’s USC-UCLA basketball game are currently on sale at the Ticket Office in the Student Union for 25 cents with an Activity Book. None of these tickets will be sold at Pauley Pavilion Saturday.
that could be published,” Himstreet added.
As for the ultimate value of the handbook, more than one professor took the position that “in the last analysis, it will probably wind up another useless compilation of unread information.”
In spite of the generally heavy criticism of the handbook, there were professors who thought that a reasonable, responsible evaluation or
guide would be of service to the university, although these faculty members were in the minority.
While expressing the feeling that such a handbook would be beneficial, they were also careful to point out the problems involved in securing a “reasonable, responsible evaluation.”
Most of the faculty members agreed that for all practical purposes, “a responsible evaluation” will not be forthcoming.
activities — the Commons, the Student Union, and the Activities Center.’'
PEDESTRIAN ACCESS
“There must be easy pedestrian access to these areas within the building. It was the architects’ job to arrange the areas in such a way that a student could easily walk from one to the other within the complex,” he said.
Lazzaro estimated that the cost of the new facility would be around $2,750,000.
“$2 million of it is a loan to USC from the Department of Housing and Urban Development which is a fed? eral agency under the Department of Health, Education and Welfare,” he said.
“The loan will be repaid over a 40-year period from funds gathered from a special fee voted on by the students and also income, if any, from Commons and Bookstore operations,” he said.
The main floor of the complex will have three student lounges.
These rooms will accommodate meetings of all kinds and student social events. A special projection room and a pantry room will be coordinated with the six rooms.
“The lower level will include a 3,000 square foot game room and a vending machine area. This eating area will be a bigger and better version of the old Trojan Grill.” Lazzaro said.
ACLU TO CHALLENGE UNIVERSITY
TIP leader claims administration fails to understand student needs
“The administration is failing to meet the needs of students. USC is terribly behind other universities in recognizing student freedoms. The administration must remember that the first 10 amendments apply to college students as well as to citizens.”
John Medford, USC law student, TIP campaign manager and president of the USC branch of the American Civil Liberties Union was speaking about the role of the ACLU on campus.
“The ACLU is primarily working to insure that the full rights of the individual are protected — whether on a national scale or on this campus. ACLU was granted recognition at USC only last year and intends to keep an eye on the exercise of basic student rights.”
IMPORTANT CASES
The nonpartisan national organization has been involved in almost all important civil liberties issues since 1920. It was organized with ths single purpose of defending the Bill of Rights for everyone. Violations of free speech, fair trial and equal protection were contested by “cooperat-
DISCUSSION WILL CONSIDER CRAD SCHOOL ADMISSION
LINDA DULGARIAN TYR President
Who should go to graduate
school?
A panel of three faculty members and three students will try to answer the question today at 2:15 in Hancock Auditorium.
The panel, sponsored by Blue Key and Mortar Board—honorary mens’ and womens’ organizations, will “take some of the myth out of graduate school,” Bob Harmon, Blue Key president said.
“Numerous questions which future grad students might have, such as when to apply, how to select a grad school, what g.p.a. is necessary, and information about financial aid will be answered,” Harmon said.
“Students will also pick up hints on how to prepare for graduate record tests, note differences in gradu-
ate and undergraduate study and learn draft policies concerning grad students,” he said. -
“Often students are unsure whether they should attend graduate school or get their military service out of the way first. The panel will discuss the advantages of both choices,” he said.
Faculty members on the panel include Dr. Michael E. De Prano, assistant professor of economics, Dr. Charles Mayo, assistant dean of the Graduate School, and Dr. Donald E. Wilson, professor of education and director of the teacher education project.
Representing the students will be Key Club President Bob Harmon; Brad Sales, Key Club vice-president; and Trish Foley, president of the Mortar Board.
ing attorneys,” members of the ACLU who argue the eases for free.
Many of the ACLU cases have become landmarks in American jurisprudence. In the Scopes monkey trial, for example, the ACLU questioned the restrictions placed on the teaching of Darwin’s ideas of evolution in public schools.
Challenging discrimatory housing practices in New York, school segregation in South Carolina and the Medicare loyalty oath are recent cases in which the ACLU has been involved.
DORM UPRISING
“At USC,” said Medford, “the ACLU is currently concerned about the consequences resulting from the boys’ dorm uprising. Only two people, out of the many who participated, were singled out and charged with inciting a riot. This selective enforcement of singling out only two was totally unfair.
“The administration chose who to bring pressure on. It operated under a system of men and not a system of laws. The ACLU is following the procedures of this case very closely and will protest if strict due process of law is not observed.’’’
Medford objected to the methods employed by the university in bringing the two students before Men’s Judicial. He charged that the two prosecution witnesses were resident assistants who were acting as the administration’s informants.
INFORMER SYYSTEM
“An informer system has no place in a university,” he said.
While supporting liberal policies advocated by TIP the ACLU president pointed out that USC is behind in realizing student freedoms common to university campuses all over the country.
“It is not the university’s business to place restrictions on student activities, for USC students are capable of making responsible decisions themselves.
“The proposed free speech area, liquor in dormitories, open dorm hours for men, relaxed dress regulations are issues which should be determined by the students as part of
their basic constitutional rights,” he said.
The ACLU plans to challenge the university's present speaker policies by inviting controversial speakers to the campus, such as George Lincoln Rockwell.
“The members of the ACLU are concerned about the dignity of the individual. They are people who have a basic faith in democracy and the Bill of Rights. They want to 3ee these principles really work.”
Ticket sales lag in Troy Camp benefit drive
Phil Kazanjian. Senior Class president. is getting a bit worried. His class is sponsoring showings of the films “The Bible” and “The Sound of Music” as a charity drive for Troy Camp.
Now. this was a smashing success last year, when Taylor Hackford, then Junior Class president, did it with “Doctor Zhivago.”
Kazanjian however, has not been as lucky.
“We have 600 tickets of each and we've only sold 100 of each.” he said. “Needless to say, we have a few left.”
Therefore, new methods will be tried. A fearless experimenter. Kazanjian will attempt to peddle his tickets today, tomorrow and Friday, from 9 a.m. to noon, right next to the booth selling Rose Bowl tickets. The two booths will be on Childs Way, between Doheny Library and Town and Gown Residence Hall.
The showings of the two movies will be on Saturday mornings. “The Bible” is slated for this Saturday at 9:30 at the Beverly Theater. 206 N. Beverly in Beverly Hills.
“The Sound of Music.” will be shown next Saturday at 9:30 at the Fox-Wilshire Theater, 8440 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills.
Kazanjian is anxious for people to see the two movies, because if they don't the Senior Class may be looking for a new president soon.
