FARROKH SAFAVJ Commemorates UN birthday

Several years ago when a high school student in Oxnard took the opportunity to get out of his little town and make a short trip to Ventura, he met a man from France. He introduced himself with a typical youngster’s pride as a citizen of Oxnard.
When he came to Los Angeles for his college studies, he found himself in a larger community meeting with some college students who had come from the East to visit Los Angeles. He told them that he was from the Los Angeles area.
Before his graduation there were a few chances for him to visit San Francisco and other major cities of
his country. On those trips he saw more people, more buildings and more signs of culture and civilization. He was so amazed by all these differences that when a stranger asked him “Where are you from?” he answered, “California.”
After graduation he continued his trips around his country and soon realized that he belonged to “The Great Society.”
Now he was an American, and no longer just from Oxnard. It was not long before he made a few trips outside his country. On these trips he saw different kinds of societies, each with its own treasury of culture and civilization, and got to know many persons in different nations with
whom he developed a strong friendship.
One day when he was in Paris somebody asked him where he was

from — and he said, with lots of pride, “From the world.” At this time he belonged to a larger society, to the international community.
How many people in the world have really climbed to such a high
cultural status as to consider themselves as a member of the world family, or as it is called, the United Nations family?
How many of us have realized the fact that we. as human beings, are integrated parts of an international community and have a great responsibility for preserving and developing it?
Today is the 21st anniversary of the United Nations. The postwar baby who has grown up by the skin of its teeth is now matured.
Let’s provide it with a better environment in which to live and serve humanity. For the sake of all others, for the sake of us, and for the sake of the United Nations family.

“Jesus walked to the well of Samaria and drank water with a woman even though it was against the law. He chose not to obey his local police,” Louis Lomax said in a debate on civil disobedience Friday night in the Shrine Auditorium.
His opponent, John Rousselot, director of public relations for the John Birch Society, countered that the reason Jesus didn’t support the law was that he lived under a tyrant.
“Civil disobedience is contrary to every basic concept of freedom,” Ruosselot said. “It simply means breaking the law.”
Lomax, a controversial television personality, termed civil disobedience the highest form of civil protest for bringing about corrective measures.
“Civil disobedience is the coming together of a group of people who say. ‘This law is wrong.’ ” he said.
“Protestors say to the powers that be they are going to break the law.” he said. “The protestor goes to jail, but in the process he says to society. ‘Look at this law.’ ” he said.
“I (the civil disobedient) am trying to jab your conscience,” he continued.
“A good man faced with a bad law is faced with a moral responsibility to break that law.
“There is a in o m e n t in history when all good men belong in jail. The case for civil disobedience is the case for Progress.”
He added. “It is idiocy to tell a man to change a law by legislative power when he can’t vote.”
Rousselot said the issue of civil disobedience is the issue of law and order. He said advocacy of civil disobedience guarantees that criminal elements will come to the fore.
“Civil disobedience is the very heart of anarchy,” Rousselot said. “It very easily leads to violence.
“We have the best system to provide a check and balance against unjust laws.
“1 say we have the right of protest. but through law and order.
“I repudiate any violence or the breaking of any law except through the courts.
this country great is a respect for
“You are advocating breaking the law. not challenging it through the courts.
“We have great faith in change being brought about through legislation.” Rousselot concluded.

PROJECT CHANCE IS A PROGRAM TO AID UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN.
Initiated by the campus YWCA, it seeks to provide meaningful experiences for neighborhood children.
USC YWCA FURTHERS COMMUNITY RELATIONS
Chance gives new view of
students, kids life and people
Project Chance, designed to give youngsters a chance to broaden their horizons, has been started by the USC YWCA chapter.
“Chance stands for Child and Community Enrichment,” said Pat Reed, sophomore history major and project director. The group is made up of 40 USC undergraduate and graduate students.
First, second and third graders
in Los Angeles’ Thirty-seventh Street School meet at the YWCA on the USC campus once a week.
They participate in games, dancing, singing, arts and crafts and sports under the supervision of USC students. Additional activities include visits to campus points of interest such as the planetarium, laboratories and Stop Gap theater.
AN OPPORTUNITY
Miss Reed said that Project Chance is an opportunity for the children to enjoy new experiences, to get to know persons in authority as friends, to learn to relate more successfully to others in a group and to get to know persons who are out of their own normal scope of living.
The emphasis is on small-group activity and Chance works with a ratio of two children to one student, thus insuring individual attention and fostering personal relationships, said Miss Reed.
“It's not only a chance for the kids,” she explained. “It's an opportunity for the university students to meet others, to become involved, to broaden their own horizons."
SCHOOL COOPERATION The participating children become eligible through referrals from their teachers at the Thirty-seventh Street School. Cooperation of school authorities and community response have been excellent. Miss Reed said.
Associate director of Project Chance is Cookie Pettee, a junior philosophy major.
The program is in its second year of operation.
“We hope that eventually we can expand Project Chance to other schools in the area. I also have a big sister project in mind for the girls of local elementary schools, but that will come in the future, and will require a great deal of research and planning,” added Miss Reed.

Campaign week begins today for seven candidates who will vie for the newly-created post of freshman representative.
The election will be held Nov. 2.
Susie Kopelove and Laury Scott, e'ection co-commissioners, released the list of candidates Friday.
The candidates are Bruce Ashton, Art Berkowitz. Debbie Bray, Kevin Lindsay, Paul Linke, Buffalo Cat candidate’s request) Chip Reid and Mike Yagjian.
J. J. Johnson and Bruce McEwen will also be on the ballot, competing for the recently vacated office of sophomore representative.
The new ASSC constitution, pushed through last year by then ASSC president John Sullivan, abolished class officers for freshmen, sophomores and juniors, and replaced them with class representatives to the ASSC Executive Council.
Lindsay, one of the freshman candidates and a former student body president at Warren High in Downey, said. “I’d like to strengthen the new constitution to gain more class unity in an effort to have more to say within the policies of the school. The constitution should be working as something more than a rubber stamp.”
The Trojan Independent Party's candidate, Paul Linke. said. “My classmates are ready for freedoms and responsibilities which the students at other top universities in the country now have. Why can't we also have open dorm hours and realistic dress regulations and the other changes TIP advocates?”
Linke was finally declared eligible today by Scott and Miss Kopelove, despite the fact he picked up his petition 20 minutes late.
The confusion was created by a Daily Trojan article, unfortunately.
The other candidates were unavailable for comment.
Johnson, a sophomore candidate, was defeated by Vicki Rue last year for representative’s post. She later resigned to join a convent.
This will be McEwen’s first attempt at campus politics.
Candidates' opposing views on education and delinquency told

A decidedly political flavor accented the after-dinner menu at the meeting of the Alpha Epsilon chapter of Phi Delta Kappa, an education fraternity; Friday night.
Spencer Williams, Republican candidate for attorney general, and Bert Tigerman, a Beverly Hills attorney, addressed the group in Marks Hall. Their topic was “The Governor’s Program for Education and Your Vote.”
The present administration seems to be fighting the problem of crime by building more institutions for the housing of offenders, Williams said, terming such institutions “monuments to failure” of both the delinquent and society.
He recommended a DEW line in California, a delinquency early warning line. Teachers would be trained to notice signs of delinquency in their pupils, and professional psychological help could be recommended at that time. This procedure would function only with the agreement and cooperation of the family.
“The spiral of crime can start as early as kindergarten. It must stop as early as kindergarten.”
Tigerman said, “We live in a state which is the equivalent of a small country,” and its leader is important.
Tigerman then turned to Brown’s educational program. He presented the following five-point program Brown will offer if re-elected:
•	Raise the state contribution to public schools and reduce property taxes so that the state share of the cost of education will be about 50^ .
•	Continue to extend the laws which are now reducing class size in the first, second and third grades until all grades in the elementary schools are included.
•	Supply risk capital as part of a major program of research to design better methods of teaching and create a network of model schools.
•	Modernize technical training in high schools and junior colleges.
® Make state funds available for a program under which all California children eventually could start school at the age of four.
