Grafton to Replace Jani As Special Events Head
Ry ELLIOT ZWIEBACH
City Editor
Bob Jani. director of special events for the past eight years, has resigned, effective March 1. to devote his full time to managing the public relations firm he started six years ago.
He will be replaced by Clive Grafton. currently director of student activities. The office of the dean of students is conducting interviews to select a replacement for Grafton.
In a Daily Trojan interview yesterday. Jani revealed he has been contemplating leaving the university for more than a year because of the tremendous growth of Pacific Pageants, a sales promotion firm that Jani started as a sideline in 1961.
He will, however, continue his relationship with USC on a ccnsultant-client basis.
Jani's relationship with the uni-
versity goes back to 1954, when he originated Songfest and served as its chairman in 1951, 1955 and 1956.
He was also Homecoming chairman in 1955 and staged the activities for the 75th anniversary of USC that year.
While a senior at USC, Jani, a telecommunications major, worked as head of guest relations at Disneyland. He served as entertainment director for Camp Walters (Texas) during his two-year Army hitch.
In 1958 he returned to USC as director of special events. He started Pacific Pageants as a one-man operation in 1961 when he was asked to do consultant work.
As his services came into greater demand, however, he had to hire additional help, and the business grew.
“The work load has now become so demanding that I’ve decided to spend all my time supervising my

USC, UCLA
Meet to Prove Gastric Capacity
By ANN SALISBURY Assistant City Editor
UCLA will have a chance today to seek revenge for USC’s Rose Bowl bid when both schools take part in a contest to determine which team has the greatest gastronomical propensity.
The winning team will be selected in the Seventh Annual Intercollegiate Pancake Eating Contest, sponsored by the International House of Pancakes. at the Hollywood restaurant. 7006 Sunset Blvd., at 4 p.m.
A seven-day all-expense-paid vacation in either New York City or San Francisco will go to the top pancake eaters in the country. Local winners will also receive prizes.
Representing USC in the contest will be Bob Klein, Steve Ponder and Butch Nungasser. all of Beta Theta Pi. with Pat Philbrook. Kappa Alpha Theta; Corrine McLane. Gamma Phi Beta; and Carla Hamilton, an independent.
Mike Gieger and Gary Sparks of Delta Tau Delta will be gobbling pancakes with Dixie Smith, Kappa Alpha Theta; and Mindv Sparks. Pi Beta
Phi.
The contest is held to celebrate Shrove Tuesday, a day on which it has long been a custom for people in England to feast on pancakes in anticipation of the regulated diet of Lent.
Shrove Tuesday is celebrated in England by unusual sports. Housewives race down streets while flipping flapjacks in a pan at the same time. The winner of the race must have flipped the pancakes at least three times in the course of the race.
Last year USC won the eating contest over UCLA when Don Kaplan and Sherrie McGrath stuffed their stomachs to victory' with sloshy syrup and 234 pancakes.
Kaplan attributed his win to what he called the “slobovian technique.” He stuffed pancakes into his mouth with his hands, and at eight-minute intervals he took breaks to do five deep-knee bends.
company,” Jani said.
Pacific Pageants deals in sales promotion, show* production and corporate decorating. Its most recent endeavor wras the staging of Ronald Reagan's inauguration.
When Jani took over the Special Events Office in 1958, it was concerned not only with publicizing university events but also with handling student activities.
Tt is somewhat ironic, therefore, that student activities (in the person of Clive Grafton) should return to the Special Events office.
Grafton has been student activities director for the past year and a half. Before coming to USC, Grafton was dean of men at Cerritos College.
He had previously served as assistant dean of men and as an instructor of journalism and history at Cerritos.
He was also an administrative assistant and assistant athletic director at Compton College before transfer-ing to Cerritos.
Grafton received his master's degree in education from USC in 1952. He will soon receive his doctorate in education.
Announcement of Jani's resignation and Grafton’s new appointment was made yesterday by Mulvey White, vice-president of student and alumni affairs.
Jani said he is leaving under happy circumstances and ‘‘if not for my personal reason. I probably wouldn’t be leaving at all.”
PIANO DUO SETS BOVARD SHOW
The world - famous piano duo of Ferrante and Teicher will perform in concert in Bovard Auditorium Thursday at 8 p.m.
Tickets at $2 for USC students and $3 for the general public are now on sale in the USC Ticket Office.
“The Sights and Sounds of Ferrante and Teicher" is the first major special event of the spring semester sponsored by the Univeristy Committee on Convocations and Special Events.
The pianists, who have become one of the most sought-after musical combinations in show business since their breakthrough recordings of “The Apartment” and “Exodus” for United Artists Records, have sold over 15 million records and have won seven gold LP album awards and three million-seller single awards.
While appearing all over the world each year, they have appeared on such television programs as Ed Sullivan. Dean Martin, Garry Moore. Johnny Carson, Danny Kaye and The Hollywood Palace.
Applications Available For Cambridge Study
who are not interviewed will not be considered for a counseling position. Troy Camp Chairman Deraid Sidler said.
Thirty counselors and 15 alternates will be selected. All 45 students will take part in a counselor training program, and students who display a lack of interest will be replaced.
“In the past, counselors have been selected on the basis of whether they could adapt their skills to the camp program.” Sidler said.
“This year, w’e are gearing our program around the talents of the counselors. That is, if a counselor has a particular talent, w7e will create an activity centering around that talent."
Troy Camp is a student-run camp held each summer at Camp Buckhorn in the San Jacinto Mountains near Idyllwild for neighborhood youngsters. This year it will be held from Aug. 26 through Sept. 2.
Sidler hones that Troy Camp. 1967. will be far superior to any Troy Camps held in the past.
“What will be required therefore, is far greater dedication of the counselors than ever before,” he said.
The counselor application asks the student whether he has had any previous experience counseling young children, although this is not necessarily a prerequisite.
Applicants are also asked to list their special skills, such as swimming, artistic talents or horseback riding.
STUDENT DIES IN FREEWAY CRASH
Funeral services for Charles Neil Clark, a freshman in architecture, will be held today at 2 p.m. at Forest I^awn Mortuary in Covina Hills.
Clark, 18, died early Saturday morninu when his small foreign car ran off the San Bernardino Freeway in West Covina and plunged into the Eaton Wash.
He was returning to campus where he would have been initiated into Kappa Sigma faternity Saturday night.
Claifc’g vehicle apparently was airborne for 60 feet before it smashed into the retaining wall on the opposite side and caromed into the bottom of the wash. The vehicle apparently narrowly missed clearing the wash in its flight, police said.
Undergraduate students interested in attending the University of Cambridge summer program should see the dean of the College of Letters. Arts and Sciences, in 200 Administration, as soon as possible.

Drop and Add To Start at 1p.m.
Students Advised to Follow Directions, Plan Carefully
By FRED SWEULES
Drop and add, an experience some students fear more than final examinations, will begin today at 1 p.m. and continue through Saturday at noon. Approximately 4.000 students are expected to file through the P.E. Building registration area, hopefully with less confusion than in past semesters.
While dropping and adding classes is traditionally a confusing experience, students should find little difficulty if they plan their changes carefully before attempting them, and remain patient throughout the process.
They must first obtain a request-for - change - of - program card at the designated booth. Undergraduate students who wish to change actual courses, not just class times, must obtain their advisers’ signatures to do so.
CARDS, CARDS, CARDS. . .
Following advisement, drop and add aspirants must return to the registration area with their adviser's signatures, their paid fee bills, their re-quest-for-change-of-program cards from the original registration packet.
If they have no change of program name card, they must request one from the Registrar's Office and face a, two-day wait.
When all materials have been gathered, drop-and-add students can obtain new class cards at Station 4 of the registration area. To enter classes already filled, students must obtain instructors’ approval on their re-quest-for-change-of-program card.
At Station 6. class cards and other materials should be turned in to be processed into a supplementary fee bill.
Whether dropping and adding involves any change in fee bill charges or not. the supplementary fee bill mtist be verified by the Business Office. Failure to have it verified will result in incomplete dropping and adding.
Once this has been done and any additional fees have been paid, the process is completed.
Dropping and adding will take place from 1 to 7:30 p.m. today. 8:30 a.m. to 7:33 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, and 8:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday. After Saturday, any dropping and adding will be considered late.
Students may also participate in one of three optional seminars for more systematic and intensive study, Dean Warren said.
The seminars offered this summer are British Institutions; International Relations: Britain and the World Today; and Twentieth Century Poetry and Fiction.
Unit credit is given when students present the certificates they receive at the completion of the program. The type and amount of credit is determined by the Registrar's Office.
The cost of the lecture and class program is $58; with one seminar included. $67. Students are required to reside in housing assigned by the University of Cambridge. Costs for room and board range from $30 to $36.
Transportation must be arranged by the individual students. The LAS Office has estimated that the total cost of attending the program should be about $1,500.
Applications and further information may be obtained from Dean Warren’s office.
Bookstores Hanging As Scaffold Booms
The noose around the necks of the two local bookstores seemed to be growing ever tighter yesterday as business at the Scaffold skyrocketed.
The ASSC book exchange, located in the third floor lounge of the Student Union, was alive with students looking for used book bargains from the moment it opened yesterday morning.
The Scaffold will remain open
Deadline Nears For Determent Examinations
daily from 9:15 a.m. until 5 p.m. through Feb. 17.
More than 3,000 books have already been put on the exchange, and ASSC President Taylor Hackford expects an additional 1,000 during the next two weeks.
Hackford emphasized that students can still sell used books.
“The books are selling very fast,” Hackford said, “so it seems that students willing to put their books up for sale wijl not lose out.”
The Scaffold has books for most university courses, but they have an especially large stock of books for lower division classes.
After two days of sales (Friday and Saturday), the Scaffold had taken in over $3,000.
The Scaffold works on a delayed exchange principle. Students turn in their used books and are given a receipt for the price they hope to get on the book.
After the book sells, a check will be mailed to the student.
Resale prices are set at approximately 62.5 per cent of the original cost of the book, which is 12.5 per cent more than the bookstores buy books back for and 12.5 per cent cheaper than they are resold for.
The purpose of the Scaffold is to force Tam's and College Bookstores to lower the prices of used books.
Friday at midnight is the postmark deadline for mailing draft deferment test applications. They may be obtained and filled out in the Registrar's Office.
The test, to be administered by the USC Testing Bureau, will be offered on Saturday, March 11. Friday, March 31, and Saturday. April 8. Male students who do not take the examination on any of those dates must wait until the fall, when it will be given again.
Students may specify the date on wrhich they wish to take the test on the application form.
While the value of taking the draft deferment test has been debated since its inception last year. Assistant Dean of Men John McKinstry recommends it for undergraduate students, particularly for freshmen. Whether a passing grade of 70 per cent will mean automatic draft deferment depends also on the individual student's academic standing in his class
Further information may be obtained at the information desk of the Registrar's Office.
