WOMAN OF TROY
Jane Kooker
(This is the second in a series of seven articles on the 1967 Women of Troy.—The Editor) By MARY MILLER Feature Editor
Jane Kooker is unique because she is the first Panhellenic president to sit on the ASSC Executive Council under the new student body constitution.
My year on the Council is one of the most exciting and interesting things I have done at USC,” she said.
Miss Kooker, a member of Mortar Board and Amazons, has been selected a Woman of Troy, one of seven outstanding graduating women.
She values her year as Panhellenic president because it gave her an opportunity to work with “a challenging group of house presidents who made my job interesting.
“Representing Panhellenic on the ASSC Executive Council was exciting, though, because it was my first experience with student government. I have always been involved with service and sororities before. It was interesting to be a part of this year’s council because many topics, like NSA affiliation, came up ”
Miss Kooker is also a member of the Student Aid Committee, a uni-
versity committee that is conducting research on both graduate and undergraduate aid programs.
“We sent questionnaires to comparable schools so we could measurt their systems with USC’s Our particular problem is in graduate school because aid is given on merit, not need. The school must increase the number and size of grants available in order to attract better grad students,” she said.
Miss Kooker will complete her B.A. degree this summer in Spanish. She would like to work for the government, particularly the U.S.I.A. “I wouldn't mind working in a foreign embassy where I could use my Spanish,” she said.
A graduate of Dorsey High School, Miss Kooknr feels her most valuable acquisition at USC is “an awareness of people and things. You can’t single out one part of university life and call it the most valuable. It is all part of a gradual growth process.
“I particularly found value in structured group activities, perhaps because of my sorority background,” she said.
Grad school is not in the immediate future for Jane Kooker. She would like to travel and work first and “sort of catch my breath before I start again.”

TYD Urges TYR To Ignore Inquiry
By STAN METZLER Assistant to the Editor
The Executive Council of the Trojan Young Democrats objected yesterday to what they termed "ths attempt by the ASSC Board of Inquiry to dictate who should be officers of the Tiojan Young Republicans.”
Their resolution came in the midst of internal TYR conflicts, which apparently first surfaced at the end of
the XSA campaign and were made public earlier this week.
The TYD resolution, released by President Shelley Linderman, urged the TYR Executive Board “to ignore any directives by the Board of Inquiry or the Student Activities Committee which attempted to dictate who should be officers in their organization.”
It also pledged “full support to fight this attempt to restrict the in-
SDS Draws Probation For Unauthorized Talk
By HAL LANCASTER Editorial Director
Students for a Democratic Society has been placed on probation for the rest of the semester. Paul A. Blo-land. dean of students, told the Daily Troian yesterday.
The action stems from Friday's unauthorized talk by Lennie Eggleston. board chairman of the California Community Alert Patrol.
Eggleston spoke in the street in front of Tommy Trojan, but his talk had not previously been cleared through Dean Bloland.
“I wish to apologize to the student body and the faculty that were present at noon on April 7 on campus, at which time I used intemperate language."
Asst. Football Coach Mnrv (Hoiix
"We sent out notice of the probation Tuesday,” Bloland said.
The probation does not stop SDS from carrying on activities. "They must merely function in accordance with university rules.” Bloland said.
He said there had been no attempt 1o seek authorization of the speech by h:m. He was not sure whether he would have approved or not.
The speech and subsequent probation bring up an apparently dead
question — the Hyde Park proposal. One facet of that proposal was to have a specific, outdoor area for speakers.
“I would have no objection to that, per se.” Bloland said, “providing there were proper controls and a proper place was selected.”
He suggested the plaza of the Student Activities Center currently under construction, as a possibility and said the student committee in charge of programming the center would seem ideal for controlling the area.
“However, if you’re talking about an open area where anyone can come off the street and talk, that's another thing. That's not feasible under present university rules. I see no need for changing them.” said Bloland.
Students and faculty members, however, could use it at anytime. They would need no authorization to speak, he said.
The Hyde Park proposal was dropped last semester after a joint study by Bloland and the ASSC Executive Council.
Bloland has the authority to approve or reject such a proposal.
“Anytime someone wants to see how far we'll go, whether the university rules mean what they say, he can find out,” he said.
Z. A. District Attorney To Explain War on Crime
Evelle Younger, Los Angeles County district attorney, will discuss the war on crime and recent Supreme Court decisions in a TYR-sponsored speech today at 3:15 p.m. in 156 Von KleinSmid Center.
Younger has been a special agent for the FBI. is a brigadier general in the lj nited States Air Force Reserve, and has served in China. Burma, the India Theater during World War II, sjid in the Korean conflict.
His courtroom career began in 1953 when he was named a Los Angeles Municipal Court judge. He was elected district attorney for L.A. County in 1964. It is the largest public prosecutor s office in the United States.

dependence of campus political organizations.”
Last Wednesday the Board of Inquiry recommended to the Student Activities Committee that TYR be reviewed and its entire executive board replaced.
Its recommendation, coupled with the invalidation of the NSA election, came after testimony by Linda Dul-trarian. TYR president. Bob Barnwell, first vice-president and other club officers before the board.
At that time Miss Dulgajeiaxi wag*. countered in many of her statements by the other officers, who claimed she was not telling the complete truth.
Miss Dulgarian continued to maintain that she was telling the truth and that she was the sole spokesman for the group.
“CHARGES FALSE”
“There are innumerable charges and statements that she made at the. Board of Inquiry against myself and other persons which were false.” Dave Berg, second vice-president, later testified.
Miss Dulgarian brought charges against four of the board members last Friday, and they were placed under threat of suspension by a disputed 6-4 board vote.
After Miss Dulgarian gave a statement to the Daily Trojan on the results of the meeting, five board members countered with their own statement, charging Miss Dulgarian with “an obvious attempt to cover up for her own wrongdoings by placing the blame for them on others.” They also said she had pressured several others into repeating her lies, particularly in regard to an alledged $240 donation to the TYR fight against NSA.

Scaffold
Leftovers
Purchased
Approximately 400 books left over from the Scaffold sale last January are being sold to Barnes and Noble wholesalers in New York, ASSC President Taylor Hackford said yesterday.
They will be sold at 20 percent of their original retail prices, and the money will be returned to the books’ owners in ?bout three weeks.
About one-half the books being sent to the wholesaler are listed in the wholesaler's catalogue, but most of the others will probably be sold at the same 20 percent rate anyway. Hackford said.
The books have been stored in the Student Union since early February. “We assume that if students haven’t picked up their books by now.” said Hackford, “they’ve consented to have us sell them anyway we can.”
Scaffold, a student used-book exchange operated during semester break, will continue next January.
There will be no Scaffold in June or September because students sell their books at different times after the spring semester, and there is no place to store books over the summer, Hackford explained.
