2ND FORD GRANT MA TCHED
price tag rises
Master
By CLEM WORK
USC must raise almost $34 million before the aea-I demic objectives of its Master Plan are achieved. President Topping announced yesterday.
The money is needed, he said, despite a Ford Foundation matching grant of $7.5 million made in December 1964 and the second given to USC in three years. The grant was matched by July 28, 1966. when USC completed raising $22.5 million, 17 months before the foundation's deadline.
Despite achieving the original dollar objective of
Plan's
$106,675,000 in less than five years, the price tag for the Master Plan has now risen to $151 million. $117 million has been raised so far and $34 million is still needed.
The money will be used primarily for faculty endowment, libraries and scholarships.
Immediate financial goals include facilities for the. schools by law and dentistry, the Student Activities Center and the Medical School campus.
Ford matching funds will not be available for the
remaining sum, because the Ford Foundation has discontinued its Special Program grants, Roger F. Olson, university director of development and fund-raising, said.
He explained that other grants by the Ford Foundation are possible, and said the university is considering $9 million in grants from other organizations.
Olson also estimated 18 to 24 months would be necessary to realize the $34-million goal.
Meanwhile, a second planning commission, headed
by Dr. Robert R. Dockson, dean of the Graduate School of Business Administration, has been set up to reevaluate the university's needs and objectives and recommend goals to be attained by 1980, the USC centennial.
“The commission should be coming up with definite proposals about the time the $34-million goal is reached,” Olson said.
The Master Plan was first announced on May 17, 1961. The first Ford Foundation matching grant ($1 for every $3 raised by the university) of $6.5 million was matched 14'> months ahead of the deadline.

Handbook—Replace student grapevine?

‘•We've considered the many problems involved and have tried to present an effort responsible to both faculty and* students.” Lutz said.
“From its inception, we have worked with the administration and
faculty, keeping them informed of our efforts and asking for their advice.”

HANDBOOK PURPOSE
This is a statement of purpose by the Ass<" Course Description Committee—EDITOR.
The modern American university has reached a degree of complexity that makes its communication problems more difficult than ever before. In particular. the vast number of courses and instructors found in a typical institution makes it difficult or impossible for many students to gain accurate information necessary for the effective selection of courses.
A committee of the ASSC composed of serious and responsible students is now preparing a booklet which will substantially counteract this problem. The booklet will adhere strictly to its program of providing objective information regarding individual courses and instructors to be supplemented by analysis of relevant student opinions. The committee will be rigidly objective and will express no opinions of its own.
The full and enthusiastic participation of all members of the University community will ensure the success of this project and help to build a university competing in unqualified terms with the academic centers of the world.
By ELLIOT ZWIEBACH Editorial Director
The announcement of the publication was made by Bob Lutz, chairman of the ASSC Committee on Course and Professor Description authorized by ASSC President Taylor Hackford last summer.
‘OBJECTIVE INFORMATION’
Lutz said the handbook will “adhere strictly to providing objective information regard i n g individual courses and instructors and will not attempt to evaluate the faculty or the curriculum.”

The ASSC expects to publish a handbook describing courses and professors in late April or early May.
Vanguard, a similar project begun two years ago but never published. had been intended as a faculty slam-sheet.
The scope of the handbook will be threefold:

•	Student reactions to assign ments, tests, professors, etc. (description of individual student opinions, not evaluations by the committee itself).
•NOT A SI.AVI-SHEET*
“The booklet will not be a slam-sheet,” Lutz said. “In effect, it will actually be a formalization of the student grapevine on which courses to take.”

International flavor to highlight debate on civil disobedience
Speaking for the affirmative will b? USC’s David Kenner and Oxford's Douglas Hogg.
‘The question to be debated is not whether civil disobedience is good or bad as a method of social criticism, but whether it actually holds a rightful place in a democratic society," Dr. James McBath. chairman of the Speech Department, said.
Swaney is a graduate student in speech and an instructor in debate and public address. He has represented the Ucited States on a debate tour of England.
Kenner was a member of the debate squad for four years. He now teaches public address and is working for a J.D. degree at the Law School.
Beloff and Hogg have hoth served

Frats make friends mass, Bloland tells
There is no better system than the fraternity system to break down the mass of students into friendship groups,” Paul Bloland, dean of students, said at a Tau Epsilon Phi 40th anniversary dinner last night.
“This leads to personalization with the university." he told the guests, including five surviving members of the Tau Gamma chapter's founding.
“Organizations are valuable primarily to the extent that they contribute to the personal development of an individual," ► said.

Dodd, a graduate student in international relations and a 1965 participant in the program, will show slides of his three-month stay and explain how to become affiliated with Crossroads Africa.
The organization is a privately financed, work-camp study seminar that takes students to countries in Africa for short-term periods during the summer.
Founded in the early 1950’s by James Robinson it has been heralded as a prototype for the Peace Corps.
“Using the work-camp experience and opportunities for urgently needed services as a vehicle for communication. volunteers have built village schools, churches, and clinics, and have taught English and physical education classes,” Dodd said.
The goal of Crossroads Africa is to build a valuable reservoir of personnel “to help man increase engage-
