“Travel and Tours” will also offer guided tours of the campus for foreign students.
The committee is working with representatives of various travel programs, including “The Experiment in International Living” and “People to People.”
A meeting for students interested in serving on the committee will be held at the I.House. 801 W. 28th St., Monday at 4 p.m.

A project to develop a system of direct transmission from centrally located audiovisual libraries into classrooms is currently being undertaken at USC.
The project, when completed. would provide opportunity for a teacher in a secondary or elementary school to use large central libraries as resource materials for classroom teaching.
Research by the Automated Cataloguing Project at USC, under the direction of Glenn McMurry, has proved the feasibility of devising centralized and wholly automated catalogues of audio-visual material.
The next step, using information and communication techniques, will be to provide centralized locations of large amounts of audio-visual material for immediate accessibility.
Charles Vento, a research associate working with McMurry described the gap: “As much as a year may pass between the time a new audiovisual aid is released by its producer and the time the average teacher may become aware of its availability.
“Some of the reasons why Johnny can’t read can be traced to the use of badly outdated instructional materials.”
McMurry's research into the future of audio-visual services began at USC more than six years ago with his own experiments in automating the techniques used in cataloguing USC's film library.
The work expanded to in elude inexpensive printing of catalogue information.
Believing that such techniques as had been proven successful at USC could revolutionize audio-visual cataloguing on a larger scale, McMurry and two associates appealed to the U.S. Office of Education for funds to carry on the research.
Buoyed by a $112,000 grant for funds, McMurry, Dr. James Finn, USC's director of instructional technology, and Dr. Bernard Kantor, chair man of the Cinema Department, and a small staff have applied automated techniques to 80 percent or more of the audio-visual materials available in libraries.

A number, a letter. Apart j concerning deferment, they mean nothing, two tiny specks in the infinite cosmos of expression. 2-S. Apart they mean nothing. Together they will bring relief to thousands of male college students, this year.
As the military service draft call climbs steadily higher in the midst of the current global crises, the number of college students seeking deferment from military service has increased proportionately.
Activity at USC among male students concerning the draft has increased considerably, according to Mrs. Muriel Sinai, secretary to Mark R. Frazin, assistant registrar.
“This is one of the busiest places on campus,” Mrs. Sinai
Sen. Urges Aid For Collegians
WASHINGTON (AP)
Sen. Claiborne Pell announced Tuesday the introduction of a bill proposing “across the board federal scholarships’ of $1,000 a year for two years for all college students.
“The only criterion for applicants,” the Rhode Island Democrat said in a statement, “would be enrollment in an accredited institution of higher education. There would be no means test and no merit requirement other than the maintenance of good academic standing.”
Six staff members are at work processing the applications. But, according to Mrs- Sinai, two weeks will be required to process the remaining applications.
Mrs. Sinai expressed hope that the bulk of requests have been submitted and urged remaining students to bring the completed forms as soon as possible.
‘Odyssey'
Premieres
On KNXT
Undergraduates are required to fill out Selective Service form 109. Graduate students must fill out form 103.
“Students must bring their paid fee bill for unit verification,” Mrs. Sinai stressed.
According to the current directives from the United States government, students must be progressing satisfactorily towards their degree objective in order to receive deferment.
The respective universities across the countries determine whether a specific student is making satisfactory progress and the local draft board then grants or refuses the deferment request.
And while the complex in' ternal machinery of the federal government sputters and bogs down in red tape, o more pressure — a pressure which ultimately might in volve life or death—is added to the already staggering burden astride today’s college students.
USC’s television classroom, the “Odyssey” series, will begin broadcasting over KNXT, Channel 2, at 6:30 a.m. Monday.
The series will include two-unit-credit course in “The Earth and the Seas” and non-credit program, “Health and the Active Body.”
Jim Mathes is the USC producer for both shows.
Dr. Richard Stone, associate professor of geology, will conduct the 16-week credit course for a half hour every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Dr. Eleanor Metheny, professor of physical education, will host the non-credit program on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
To receive credit for Dr. Stone’s class, a student must apply at the Geology Department. The tuition fee is $100.
Dr. Stone’s program will be highlighted by illustrated discussions of the earth’s landscapes and how they originated.
Health experts will join Dr. Metheny in illustrating how man can conserve, increase and direct his energy in the areas of work, play, exercise and rest.
The main focus will be on health through personal action, with emphasis on the development of personal energy through better use of the ability to move.
The upswing in newspaper power assumed by women on the Daily Trojan, begun by editor Mary Garber’s appointment, received another boost yesterday when the Office of Student Publications appointed Rochelle Sech as advertising manager.
Miss Sech, in turn, announced the appointments of Olivia Ernst, Cheryl Jones, and Jennifer Shibley to serve on her staff.
Miss Sech has served as reporter and copyreader for the Daily Trojan and is presently serving as a news editor.
Journalism Major
She is a junior majoring in journalism and was on a scholarship from the School of Journalism for two years.
She has served the past two summers as editor of the Tri-C o u n t i e s. Construction News, a construction trade paper in the Santa Barbara area.
She has also served as advertising manager for the Santa Barbara New's-Ad vertiser.
Miss Ernst served as advertising manager for the yearbook at Santa Monica High School last year.

Student Rush to Drop And Add Nears End
Students Picket To Keep Beards
RICHMOND, Va. (UPI) — Fifteen students picketed the president of the Richmond Professional Institute Monday protesting the school’s policy against beards and long hair.
Three seniors, denied admission until they reported with clean shaves and haircuts, sought a court injunction to force the state-supported school to enroll them.
Saturday is the last students can drop or classes in the Physical Education Building with charge.

After the ninth week, stu dents will need the instructor's signature to drop a class.
Three lines in the Physical Education Building are now being employed for dropping and adding classes.
For the first time. USC is using the IBM 1050 in the drop and add procedure. This machine creates greater efficiency in the enrolling activities.
To drop or add a class, students must go to the Physical Education Building and obtain a yellow card. The fee bill is required.
