Snap, crunch finish field trip as geologist practices camping out
Schedule of events
By RILL DICKE
A snap and a crunch ended a hike Dr. Vernon Taylor was taking in the gorge of the Little Colorado River
Sept. 7.
The sound came from his right ankle. It was broken, and he spent the next three-and-a-half days in the bottom of the narrow gorge waiting to Vk' rescued.
Dr. Taylor, a geology professor, was researching with Seiyi Sakamoto. a geology gradute. when he got his foot caught in a crevice.
“That was that,” he said.
‘ He (Sakamoto) got me to a place across the river, a place with a spring.”
His companion then made the difficult 35-mile trek downstream to get help.
FORCED HIKE
Sakamoto made his forced march and returned with a helicopter in only three and one-half days.
“I figure with normal transit it should have taken about six days.” paid Dr. Taylor.
"I really don’t know how he did H so fast.. He must have taken some rhances.”
Taylor explained that Sakamoto was in the water most of the time. “But he had to go over, around and through natural dams, rapids, quicksand and mud.”
MULE PATH
They were only about ten miles from a ranger station. Taylor said, hut th* only accessible route was 35 miles long and included a 2500 foot climb out of the canyon.
The route out of the canyon was
•	mule path which hadn’t been used for more than 60 years.
Before Sakamoto left, they split
up the food, so Taylor spent part of the time looking at the food. He ate only oatmeal, powdered eggs and coffee during his forced stay, "because I thought I should.”
WOULDN’T LIVE THERE The sandbar on which he lived had only one shrub so the only thing he could do was tape up his ankle and keep it immobile.
Most of the time he just sat there waiting for time to pass.
“You know you're going to be there, so I can’t say I was particu-
FILM, FOLK-ROCK IN FALL SERIES
The opening movie of the DKA fall film series. Spartacus, and a folk and conitemporary musical nrograin at the Chesire Cal highlight the weekend campus entertainment schedule.
DKA, honorary cinema frat-lernity, will show the Technicolor film in 133 Founders Hall al 7 and 1D p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Dave and Lewis Schlesinger and freshman Randi Pitzer will entertain Sept. 30 at the Cheshire Cat. Pitzer was third-place winner of the Battle of the Bands.
"Spartacus” slars Kirk Douglas as the rebellious gladiator who led a slave army against Imperial Rome in 73 B.C. It also features Jean Simmons, Laurence Olivier, Charles Laughton, Tony Curtis and 1960’s best supporting actor, Peter Ustinov.
larly 1 o n e 1 y.” he said. “I had no equipment with which to pass the time.”
OUT OF THE SKY
The third day of his stay. Dr. Taylor heard a sound, and ten seconds later a helicopter dropped into the canyon.
“That was probably the finest sight I have ever seen. The weather that day had been rainy and windy and I hadn't been expecting the helicopter.” Taylor said. It had cleared up only half an hour before his rescuers appeared.
Sakamoto came back with the pilot and they made a pass almost at river level, looking for a good place to land. They touched down across the river. Taylor, who had a pack ready with the few things he wanted to save, swam across the swift current by himself.
WANTS OUT
“I wanted to get across the river and into that helicopter,” he explained.” My ankle may have bothered me, but I had only that one object.”
At 5 p.m. it was quite dark in the canyon and there really was not much time to waste, Dr. Taylor said. He was able to get into the helicopter himself.
“It took a very skilled pilot to get in and out of that canyon/’ he said. “I wouldn’t go back in there willingly-”
He was flown to Flagstaff wher® he remained a patient until he returned to classes at USC two days ago.
Taylor said he missed registration because of his accident, and that seems to be a classic example of going a bit too far trying to get out of something.

A man of scope; he dreamt and built to match his vision
By MARY MILLER Feature Editor
Rufus B. von KleinSmid had a dream, and that drea n will be dedirated in his memory Sunday.
Throughout his life, he was a man of international scope and understanding. He founded the School of International Relations at USC -the first of its kind in the L’nited States.
As chancellor, he is credited with starting the foreign student program by awarding scholarship grants to foreign scholars. These awards were granted on the condition that students return home so their own people could benefit from the American education.
Yon KleinSmid likewise established the Institute of World Affairs, which he presided over until his death in 1964. He never missed a session because he believed the future of the world was in international understanding.
He was the recipient of 10 honorary degrees from foreign universities and was decorated by 20 countries.
He donat«*i his personal library to USC. Containing 35.000 volumes and 10.000 pamphlets, it is recognized as »one of the finest international affairs collections on the West Coast.
Yon KleinSmid envisioned a great bub for international studies on the USC campus. The von KleinSmid center. to be dedicated this weekend, was
named after him and the building site was commemorated on his 89th birthday. June 27. 1964.
Yon KleinSmid listened to the ceremonies by radio because he had been confined to bed for over six months.
Less than two weeks later, on July 7. von KleinSmid died.
He built USC into the university it is today. When he became president in 1921. USC was a college with only three buildings, a 5.000 enrollment and a 267-member faculty.
When he resigned in 1946. the university had 22 buildings, a 12.000 enrollment and a l.ODO-member faculty.
These facts led President Topping to note, “Under his leadership, USC grew to a mighty status as a university. His efforts over half his lifetime were directed toward making USC world-renowned.”
And these facts, too. have led to this weekend's awesome gathering of national and foreign dignataries. of scholars and academicians, of students and alumni and friends of the university, in yet another stirring tribute to the man who dreamt and built a great center of learning.
Robert .T. Manning, editor in chief of Atlantic magazine, will be the featured speaker today at the all-university convocation held in conjunction with the von KleinSmid Center dedication.
All 11 a.m. classes have been cancelled so students can attend the
Speculation was raised anew Thursday that President Johnson may yet appear Sunday at the dedication ceremonies. An international relations professor said it would not be known until late Sunday morning if he could attend. But the chances were still considered very slight.
Bovard Auditorium convocation, part of the 44th World Affairs Institute.
Twelve scholars of world affairs will speak on “A World in Change” in seminars today and tomorrow preceding the formal dedication Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
