Robin Hood Found
*
Guilty; Law Students Living in Antiquity
By ANN SALISBURY Assistant City Editor
Robin Hood was found guilty of grand theft Tuesday, and sentenced to hang at a law school trial.	. ,
Testifying at the trial were two Frederick Hegels, John Lockes, St. Augustines, Sir William Blackstones, Adam Smiths, John Stuart Millses, Andrew Carnegies, St. Thomas Aquinases, and Judge Thurmond Arnolds.
The trial was begun with the words “Oyez, oyez, oyez,” (French for Hear ye, hear ye. hear ye), typical of the manner in which old English courts began their trials.
Hood was charged with grand theft, he reportedly stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Because he was unable to attend the proceedings he. w’as tried in absentia.
The trial took place at a meeting of Institution of Property, an introductory law class for beginning law students.
Professor Martin Levine, who teaches the class, acted as judge and pronounced the sentence. He proclaimed that the death sentence he prescribed was actually quite fair in view of the circumstances.
“In old English courts people who were convicted were either hanged or released,” he said. “There were hundreds of hangings. There were no jails at the time, and if a criminal was not hanged, he would have td be let loose.”
Professor Levine said the trial was conducted to give students prac-
tice with courtroom experience, and to review concepts they had just learned concerning the legitimacy of private ownership.
Robin Hood was chosen as a defendant because his case is similar to one which faces today’s society—the question of taking from the rich and giving to the poor, or to put it another way, “taxes.-’
“Brown and Reagan do the same thing Robin Hood did. but in a different way,’’ Profesor Levine said. “Of course everyone knows they have a right to collect taxes, but the problem for a law student is to figure out why they have that power.” he said.
Two students were chosen to represent each famous person who testified at the trial. Thus Andrew Carnegie, in the form of two students, would give evidence for and against Hood.
This method was used to illustrate that the philosophy of a man can be used either for or against an issue, Prof Levine said
“Carnegie said that it was a rich man’s duty to give away money. He gave away more than S3 million and founded the New York Library,-' he said.
This trial was not argued for the sake of entertainment.
“It is very difficult for students to prepare for this type of a case Levine said. “Each student must be prepared to defend his own position and criticize his opponent.
"The usual method of conducting class is different, however. We usually take a current problem concerning a recent case and argue it back and forth,” he said.

Voter Reaction To Registration Termed 'Good'
Voter registration is proceeding smoothly in front of the Student Union, Laury Scott, election commissioner. said yesterday. Registration will continue through March 10 for the election, which will be held April 3 and 4.
Scott said the reaction has been good so far—approximately 350 have registered.
This total does not include many architecture, science, and philosophy students, however. Scott said these students will have to come to the Stu-deut Union location to register, although they will be able, to vote at the floating poll on the 37th St. Mall during elections.
This year there will be two floating polls, as well as a central poll in front of Bovard Auditorium. The other areas are University and 28th St. for the convenience of Rowites; *nd the Mall for those students located at the south end of campus.
over 400 active chapters and 95,000 members and alumni, the organization's Alpha Kappa chapter operated at USC from 1934 to 1960.
Bob Biggere, vice-president, announced that an organization meeting will be held at 4 p.m. tomorrow for ail interested men students in 205 Ecumenical Center.
Biggers and Larry Fowler, president, will explain the fraternity’s purpose, outline its organization and plan immediate service goals to be completed this semester.
The group’s first activity, Fowler said, will probably be to arrange a university-wide transportation service for Easter vacation.
The service would compile a list of drivers and riders going to different parts of the state and nation.
“Alpha Phi Omega's uniqueness lies in its open membership policy and its dedication to serving students through large-scale projects, and the community through established youth organizations,” Fowler said.
He explained the only criteria for membership are a willingness to pursue genuine service activities and to work on the group projects.
The fraternity’s campus service, he said, will be directed towards the USC students; while its community projects will be operated within the framework of such existing organizations as the Tutorial Project, Troy Camp committee, Boy Scouts and the YWCA
explore “The Ghetto Outside — The Inner City Speaks to the Isle of Tranquility.”
The participants, after spending Friday evening listening to three views of poverty, will gather on Saturday, divide into groups of 10, and spend the day circling the city on regular RTD buses.
“The whole day will be devoted t« an existential bus trip through the poverty areas — Watts, Central City, and the like,” Janca explained.
“I say existential because this won't be a normal bus tour where you look out windows at people, but one in which you ride with the poor, mingle with them, eat at their bus stops, enter their ghetto and let their poverty grab you.”
The participants will make a. general loop of the city, going south on Western to Manchester, east on Manchester to Avalon, down Avalon to 103rd and west on 103rd to Grand, where they will disembark at the Westminister Neighborhood House for a two-block walk to Bud Schul-berg’s Writers’ Workshop.
The group will then travel, again on the regular bus lines, into the Central City, getting off at 6th and Main to wander around the center of Los Angeles.
The day will end with a view from the police, given either at a local station or on campus.
Friday night’s session will have presentations on three views of poverty:
1.	The academic view, by Dr. Joseph Boskin, professor of history;
2.	The professional view, by Bob Ryland, director of Commit, a private organization seeking to involve others in the poverty fight: and
3.	The slum-dwellers’ view, by
