Reagan s Folly, TYR False Reason Criticized by SDS President Lang
By DON KRK.ER
David Lang, president of Students for a Democratic Society, warned Friday that USC students should not delude themselves by failing to realize that the "detrimental results of Rea-
gan's folly" would reduce the overall quality of their lives.
Lang, re-elected SDS President Friday, branded TYR president Linda Dulgarian's reasoning as fallacious.
Contradicting TYR's resolution supporting tuition proposals, Lang
Box Office Mark Set By Troy Camp Flick
Tickets sales for the Troy Camp benefit. “A Man for All Seasons," have set a boxoffice record at the S*ndent Activities Center in the YWCA A grand total of six tickets was sold in the first three days of the ticket campaign.
Why?
No one knows. Some people say it's the beginning of the semester and everyone is too busy buying bcoks to purchase one or even two (for a date) tickets.
Other people say that the ticket campaign is being improperly handled. “Not so." was the reply f*-om senior class president. Phil Kizanjian. as he toiled away in the YWCA. trying to get more posters up on the campus.
And some people say no one wants to see the film, even though it did win both the New York Film Critics Association and the National Board of Review awards as the Best Picture of 1966. (“Seasons" was also on the Daily Trojan's “10 best list of 1966.") 1966")
Tickets are available. As a matter of fact. 709 tickets remain unsold. Priced at SI .75. they are substantially lower than the normal reserved-seat prices of $3.75 and $4.25.

Mike Young Scholarship Established
Applications are currently being taken for a scholarship established in recognition of a young Californian who was killed in Vietnam a few we-ks before he expected to enter USC.
Michael R. Young of the 101st Airborne Division was serving as a volunteer at a forward guard post when he was killed.
His parents established a memorial scholarship fund which wilf provide full tuition scholarships for former members of the 101st interested in maioring in international relations.
Applications for the scholarship have already been received from men presently serving with the division in Vietnam and from former members. some of whom are still abroad.
Further information about thi* scholarship may be acquired from the Student Aid Office. Mrs. Florence Scruggs director, said.
Vhose wishing to contribute to the fund may make checks payable to the university, marked for the “Michael Young Scholarship Fund.”
Seasons" will be at 10 a.m. on Saturday. March 4. at the Beverly Hills Music Hall Theater.
All seats are unreserved for the Troy Camp benefit. But this is of little conssquence since the picture was shot in the standard screen ratio. and not the ultra-wide super something 70mm process. Thus, any seat in the theater will afford the viewer a good line-up with the Technicolor screen.
“Seasons” stars Paul Scofield, recreating the Broadway stage role of Sir Thomas More, which “he played in the original presentation of the Robert Bolt play.
Bolt, winner of last year's Oscar for his adaptation of the novel, “Doctor Zhiyago.” transferred his Pulitzer Prize winning play to the screen.
Both Scofield and Bolt won the awards from the New York Film Critics and the National Board of Review for their work in the picture.
Fred Zinneman. “Seasons” director. was also a dual winner from the two film criticism association. Zinne-man's past motion pictures include “The Sundowners,” "The Nun's Story.” “High Noon.” "Behold a Pale Horse'* and “Oklahoma."
The supporting cast includes Wendy Hiller, Academy Award winner as best supporting actress in “Separate Tables:” Susannah York, who previously starred in “Tom Jones;” and Robert Shaw, James Bond’s nemesis in “From Russia with Love.”
Again — tickets are available for the Troy Camp benefit of “A Man for All Seasons.*’ Why not?
UCF Continues Campaign for Membership
University Conservative Forum, a newly chartered organization, will continue its membership di^ive through tomorrow, Tom Atwater, temporary vice-president, said.
The drive is being conducted in front of the Student Union.
Atwater said that the organization is aimed at creating “academic exchange” among USC students upon political issues in the “preservation and extension of liberty.”
“UCF is among over 200 affiliate* of the Inter-Studies Institute, an organteation which promotes political education and discussion on the college campus,” he said.
Atwater said the purpoae of UCF is not “political activism,” but rather the stimulation of meaningful campus dialogue in the interest of libertarian thought.
said that real economy could not be achieved by reducing the quality of education or by making education more difficult to obtain.
“We are now suffering through a historical working-out of rightist policy contradictions, and the people of California are undergoing a painful awakening to the Republican fallacies,” he said.
Lang referred to Reagan's tuition talk as a perverted justice springing from Reagan's inability to understand the reasons for the Berkeley protest against educational inequities.
Applauding the TYD decision to participate in the tuition protest march on Sacramento, Lang blasted Governor Reagan's judgment in considering the imposition of tuition on state schools.
“Reagan represents frustrated, reactionary Californians who resent the breaking of traditional patterns," Lang said, “These kind of people see Berkeley, and what it represents, as a threat. And it is a threat, because their way of life is anti-human,” he said.
Lang said he feels budget balancing through tuition is unnecessary, and would not only discriminate against the poor, but also freedom of thought.
“Even if half of the money is designated for scholarships, this will allow selective pressures in deciding who would be permitted to go on in school. Those considered ideologically suspect would not be granted scholarships.”
As a result, Lang described the
imposition of tuition as a vendetta, aimed at Berkeley, but punishing the entire system.
“The budget cut for education is ominous: what percent less learning will result by 10 per cent less money for education?” queried Lang.
He did not think that Reagan is anti-higher education per se. but that the govenor is punishing the Berkeley image because it is a threat to his authority.
“Reagan is very caught up in his own authority. He is a very obses-sion-ridden man,” Lang said.

Voting against affiliation were Richards: Mike Truher, junior representative; Tom Ternquist, IFC vice-president: and Jane Kooker, Panhellenic president.
The vote ended a 10-year hiatus between USC and NSA, which was prompted in 1957 by a lack of funds. USC was a charter member of the organization in 1948.
The vote was preceded by statements pro and con concerning affiliation. Speaking in favor of the proposal were Hackford and Mayock: speaking against it was Richards.
Tw’o spectators were allowed to speak from the floor: Wendy Thompson, a member of TYD who said she was speaking for herself and not for the group, spoke in favor of the proposal; Burke spoke against it.
Richards argued that the costs of membership were excessive based on the benefits to be derived: that the NSA services were available to all students regardless of membership: and that NSA is politically oriented, with liberal learnings.
“I feel most of the students on this ca/npus are opposed to the stands taken by NSA in the past.” he said. “Students don’t know enough about NSA to realize what membership would entail.”
This statement caused Mayock to reply that Richards had refuted his own arguments for a student referendum on NSA affiliation. “If they don't know enough about NSA, they
have no right to vote on it,” he said.
Hackford also attacked Richards on this point, saying that NSA was the best-covered topic in the Daily Trojan this year through news stories, columns, editorials and letters to the editor.
“If students don’t know about it now. how else can we communicate it to them? I really don't have the time to call them all,” he said.
Hackford also said he had originally proposed that USC affiliate with NSA so the ASSC could derive the benefits inherent in membership and so the university could get into the mainstream of student thought.
Urban Saga Topic of Noon Talk
“Urban History: A Key to Interpreting the National Experience” will be Dr. Lyle W. Dorsett’s topic when he speaks to Phi Alpha Theta, national honorary history fraternity, today. The speech will be held at noon in the Ecumenical Center.
Dorse tt, a member of the history department, is doing urban affairs research and is working on a book titled "FDR and the Six City Bosses.”
Dorsett says he has found that by studying the local scene, the historian often finds that new questions and new interpretations can be explored and can lead to changes in traditional concepts of periodization.
Dorsett's speech is the first Phi Alpha Theta will present for the spring semester.
Since the meeting will be held during the noon hour, students may bring lunch.
Songfest Accepting Applications Feb. 24 Is Deadline for Entries
Applications for Songfest participants are available beginning today in the Special Events Office, 230 Student Union.
Applications must be returned to the office by Feb. 24 accompanied by a $10 entry fee and a copy of the musical score of the proposed number.
Members of the Songfest committee will be visiting the fraternities, sororities and dorms tonight during dinner to urge groups to enter.
Songfest, the largest collegiate musicale in the nation, will be held May 6 at the Hollywood Bowl. Now
in its 14th year, musicale was started at USC in 1954 by Bob Jani, then a student and now director of special events.
Songfest rehearsal schedules for each group must also be turned in to the Special Events Office before groups may start practicing. Preliminary tryouts will be held April 5 and 6 in Bovard Auditorium.
The first directors’ clinic, for student directors of each prospective entry, will be held Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. in the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity house.
The major rule change this year
involves the grouping of the men's, women s and mixed division into a single category, choral division.
Songfest Cochairmen Bob Tefft and Ann Lauer made this change to make the division more competitive. In the past there have been only one or two entries in each of the three categories.
Members of the 1967 Songfest committee, besides Tefft and Miss Lauer, are Gordon Biescar, administrative assistant; Karen Mazepink, executive secretary; Jane McAdams,

FATIMA VERSUS COMMUNISM
U.S. in Final Stage of Communist Takeover, Asserts Blue Army Leader
“When Christ ceases to reveal his ti'uths to us he will have ceased to love us. And as he will never cease to love us, so vie know he will never cease giving revelations to us.”
—Father Lawrence E. Donnelly, Newman Center Director By STAN METZLER Assistant to the Editor The United States of America is well into the third and final stage of a predicted Communist takeover, a Catholic lay leader told a Bovard audience Friday, and the only way to stop the Red flow is to follow the explicit instructions of the Virgin Mary.
These instructions, given first to three peasants in the village of Fatima, Portugal, are the only alternative to either surrender or war with the anti-God Communist forces, Francis Schuckardt, regional leader of the devotional Blue Army, said.
Speaking on “The Communist Manifesto vs. the Fatima Manifesto.” Schuckardt pointed out that two “revolutions” had begun in the year 1917.
In that year, he noted, Lenin and twelve followers had mapped plans for the takeover of the Soviet Union by means of a revolution that differed from previous plots only in its anti-religious nature-
“Religion could not be tolerated,” he said. “At its core was a war on God. The anti-God spirit was its integral and essential element.” “Because the world was not filled with dynamic Christians, it has succumbed to dynamic atheism,” he said. “A paradise on eaith was devised to replace the heavenly paradise.”
The second revolution, he continued, was that begun by the Virgin Mary, Mother of God, in order to stop the moral and spiritual decay of the world.
Appearing to the peasants, she is reported to have predicted:
“I have come to ask men to amend their lives. Men must cease
offending God, who is already too much offended. If men will obey my requests, Russia will be converted, peace will come to the world, and my Immaculate Heart will triumph. If men ignore my reqeusfs there will come a second world war; atheistic Russia will spread her errms throughout the world, fomenting wars and persecutions, entire nations will b*' destroyed: men of good will will be martyred: and the Holy Father wil’ have much to suffer.”
Following these revelations. Schuckardt related, 70 000 Portugese assembled on a day appointed by the Virgin as the time to disprove any skepticism.
It had been raining for several days, he said, when sudde nly the clouds parted and all 70.000 seemed to see the sun hurtling towards them, throwing off colors and spinning, until they fell to their knees and crie ’ “My God, have mercy!”
At that time, he said, “the ground was dried up, many lame could walk, the blind could see, and the skeptics believed.”
This miracle was to substantiate the claims of the peasants. Sohuck-ardt explained, who had heard and repeated the five requests of the Virgin.
These instructions, which are to bring about world peace, were:
1.	Pray the daily rosary;
2.	Sacrifice each day by living a fully-dedicated Christian life;
3.	Pray for the conversion of Russia and the world;
4.	Go to mass to pray for peace explicitly on the first Saturday of the month for five consecutive months; and
5.	Stay morally and spiritually strong.
There are only three alternatives to our present relations with Russia,” Schuckardt said.
“The first two are surrender and war.”
“The third is conversion, and with it will come peace.’’
