Foreign Students Bring English Program Changes
“In the past four years there have boon a number of changes in the English communication program: a great majority came out of student s sgestions.’’ Dr. Robert Kaplan, director of the program tor foreign student?. said in addressing the Organisation of Arab Students yesterday.
He said a number of students come to his office to tell him what is wrong with the program, but few will get together to work these problems out.
To illustrate the problem of pleasing everybody, he told an ancicnt parable:
“A man and his wife were traveling from one town to another. The husband rode a donkey and the wife walked behind.
“Soon they passed another man who said, ‘you lazy fellow, why do you make your wife walk?’
“So the man got down and let his wife ride the donkey. Soon they passed a woman who said, ‘you lazy woman, why do you make your husband walk?’
“So they both got on the animal. Then they passed a third man who said, ‘what are you doing to that poor animal ?’
“In the end they both carried the donkey.
“We are very near the point where we will carry the donkey,” Kaplan said.
All students for whom English is a second language are required to take a test to determine their ability to handle the language. Those who do not make a minimum score are required to take English communication courses.
An important change came last semester when students enrolled in the program began receiving four units of credit toward their undergraduate foreign language requirement. If no foreign language is required for their major, they receive four units of elective credit.
“This is a major breakthrough,” he said. “It is a direct outgrowth of student request. “This does carry certain problems, however. Students now earn a grade of credit or fail instead of credit or incomplete.”
Another change in the program is still in the experimental stage. To replace dictation as a widely - used teaching device, a typing course has been introduced which combines the study of grammar and the study of sentence structure.
Discussion groups on a one-to-one basis — (one American student to
each foreign student) have also been introduced. One campus organization, Spurs, has been instrumental in this program.
Four hundred continuous hours of instruction are required to learn a language. Many foreign students don’t want to be forced to learn English, and find it difficult and time-consuming.

“Well gang, what’s wrong with the world today?”
“Did the sun come up? Is that what’s bothering you?”
The coach stopped just a second, took a last look at the seven students and continued on towards the Student Union.
The students, carrying their signs in the noonday sun, smiled a little and walked on toward Bruce Hall, • headquarters for the History Department and, for yesterday and today, the Dow Chemical Co. campus recruiters.
One student tore a TYR poster off a tree. But it was advertising a Wednesday meeting, already a day past, and he just tossed it into a trash can.
They reached Bruce Hall and just stood around in front. A few cars on 35th Street slowed down, a couple of people walked on into the building, some of the students sat down on the grass to make more signs.
“We’re not here because we don’t think Dow has a right to be on this campus.” one of the girls said, “but we are against what they’re doing— making napalm, murdering women and children.”
The students, mostly members of Students for a Democratic Society, were joined by three more. They were led by David Lang, SDS * president, but emphasized that the protest was not an official SDS function.
“Some of our members don’t think we should be doing this.” one of them explained, “so we’re just here as individuals.”
Lang, meanwhile, had arranged a small carpet in front of the doorway. Made of saran wrap, it was held down by a book titled “The Two Vietnams.” “Dow Depends on War—and Sa-

Psychologist Establishes USC-Camarillo Project
By MARGIE BESTER
A close and meaningful relationship between the patients of Camarillo State Hospital and a group of USC students is being established because of a new project headed by Dr. Herman Harvey, associate professor of psychology.
Dr. Harvey originated the project to give students in fields other than psychology the opportunity to learn about mental illness and to integrate the rehabilitation of the mentally ill into their own particular field.
Rev. Marlynn May. university pastor of the United Ministry at the Ecumenical Center and participant in the project, spoke at the Faculty Center Wednesday about the reactions of the students involved in the project.
“Dr. Harvey has made a tremendous step forward in education. We
GREEKS TO HOLD STREET DANCE
A street dance is set for Sunday evening at 8 p.m. on the Row. in the general area of the Kappa Alpha house.
Other activities of the Greek Week include a speech by Ixis Angeles Police Chief Thomas Reddin at a convocation Thursday at 11 a.m. in Bovard Auditorium; Greek games on Friday afternoon; and the Grecian Ball at the Beverly Hilton from 8 p.m. to midnight.
are getting outside ourselves to add an experimental dimension to education.”
The students spent the weekend of Feb. 10 at Camarillo State Hospital along with Dr. Harvey and found it “a very unique educational experience. in the best of scientific traditions,” Mr. May said.
Students of architecture who attended were able to see that the construction of a hospital and its grounds affect the attitude of the patients and can influence the rapidity of their recovery, Mr. May said.
Dr. Harvey said he is interested in having the students realize that divergent fields can be brought together with psychology. The student will bring to the field of psychology the knowledge he has acquired in his own specific field and vice versa.
Students involved in the project are in the fields of architecture, medicine, religion, philosophy, music and drama. Most of them are seniors or graduate students.
Mr. May said the project gives the students “an opportunity to add an important dimension to what we know as education. We are able to integrate ourselves in a more meaningful w’ay.”
Dr. Harvey is trying to find a new w'ay to expose students to areas outside their field of study. There is much intraction and involvement between the various departments participating in the project.
The experimental project is a continuing one. Dr. Harvey is seeking students interested in taking part in the project.
Trojan Previews, a series of programs spotlighting academic and campus life, will be presented this month and next as part of an orientation program directed at male high school juniors and seniors in the Southern California area.
Sponsored by the General Alumni Association, the programs fill the communication void created by the defunct High School Relations Committee.
“The Alumni Association extends invitations to counselors in high schools throughout the Los Angeles area and welcomes all boys who are interested in attending USC to these informal programs,” Dan Wier, assistant director of the Alumni Association, said.
Alumni from Los Angeles, Newport Beach and Claremont will host the next three affairs, which will feature brief speeches by ASSC President Taylor Hackford and Bill Pre-
ran Wrap. Boycott Both,” one sign read.
“Are You Sure.” queried another, “It’s Napalm That You Want to Make?”
“Thou Shalt Not Kill (except for profit)—Dow Chemical,” a third sign parodied.
Victor Sargeant, head of the campus police, came by to ask what the students were doing. They seemed to expect trouble, but Sargeant just told them not to block the sidewalk and not to stop people from entering the building.
“We don’t v/ant to stop anybody or block anything,” Lang replied. “We just want the people Dow is recruiting to know wrhat Dow does.”
Officer Sargeant came by a couple more times, some more people entered the building, a few passers - by took some leaflets and. as the noon hour neared 1 p.m.. the traffic on 35th Street increased and slowed more often.
At 1 p.m. the 10 students marched back to the Student Union, losing a couple at Von KleinSmid Center.
“One of the hardest things about being a radical is that you have to go to classes too,” Lang said.
And he called today’s SDS meeting for noon in front of Bruce Hall, open to members and all those interested in “protesting what we re doing in Vietnam.”
Alpha Kappa Psi Supports Interracial Business Group
zant, former freshman class president, and a film, “University on the Move,” narrated by John (“Duke”) Wayne.
“Knights and Squires attend these programs and mingle with the boys discussing university life and answering any questions they may have,” Wier said.
An aspect of the program Wier felt was effective was that the presentations are held in an informal, casual atmosphere. The direct contact‘with the prospective university students provides a closer relationship between the high schools and the university.
“We avoid the impersonal audi-torium-audience approach,” he said.
The first program wdll be held on March 15 at the home of Dr. Fred Horowitz in Los Angeles. John Klug of Newport Beach will host the second affair and Robert Laughlin of Claremont will host the third program.

Alpha Kappa Psi, professional business fraternity, is supporting the Interracial Council for Business Opportunity as its project this semester.
The council is a nonprofit organization that assists members of minority groups in organizing and operating their own businesses.
Its purpose is to develop a more dynamic business economy for the metropolitan Los Angeles area, to develop a business intern program for college seniors and to promote economic guidance for today’s students.-
Ted Leverette, Alpha Kappa Psi president, said. “We’re grateful for this opportunity to be able to help in any way. The members have shown interest by volunteering their afternoon time.”
Help is provided in the form of counseling and advice from successful businessmen. All consultants are volunteers.
Dr. William C. Himstreet, dean of the School of Business, is' on the council’s Board of Directors.
At a meeting of Alpha Kappa Psi yesterday, Baltimore Scott, executive director of the council, said. “The key to meaningful participation in the economic life of the community depends on the development of ‘green power’ (money) and not ‘black power.’ This can be achieved in part through such programs as the council.”
The council was founded at Los
Angeles in June, 1965, through the joint efforts of the American Jewish Congress and the Urban League. Since its inception it has gained the support of many businesses in the Southland.
Support is offered in contributions of money, equipment and the use of a company’s facilities.
The council is not a charity program. It originated for the express purpose of helping others help themselves by passing on invaluable knowhow.

Apathy Comes Back; Pros, Cons in Print
Apathy is going to return to the USC campus.
Apathy is an independent publication whose purpose and scope is to print the pros or cons, gripes or praises, and neutral viewpoints on any issue.
The mimeographed magazine was
published three times last year and is making a comeback this year under the leadership of freshman English instructor Michael Daly.
The publication wdll be composed entirely of contributions. It will be distributed free to students and financed by reader contributions.
Co-publishers last year were Barry Sullivan and John Pearson. According to Daly, Apathy didn’t stop because of lack of interest, but because both Sullivan and Pearson left USC.
The first edition is planned for publication in approximately two weeks. It will be a short, introductory issue containing a statement of purpose and asking for contributions.
Flyers calling for contributions last year read: “If-you are a Greek and are sick of being criticized by Turkeys, speak up! If you are an independent and are sick of being ridiculed by frat-rets. speak up!”
Students interested in working for any aspect of the publication — writing, editing, or typing stencils — enn contact Daly in the English Deoart-ment office, 404 C Founders Hall.
