University of Southern California IFC to help DAILY • TROJAN rebuiid fratP VOL. LVIII LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1966 NO. 15 Convocation will solicit new Tau Delt members By PAT SAXON The Interfraternity Council, in an attempt to help rebuild the Tau Delta Phi fraternity house, has offered to sponsor a convocation for potential members in October. Tlie convocation would be open to all interested men and would feature officers of Tau Delta Phi's national organization, alumni of the local chapter and members of other chapters in the area. This action was taken yesterday at IFC's first meeting of the year. Tau Delta Phi currently has six active members. The house was hard-hit by graduation and marriage in the spring. Pat Ryan, assistant dean of men. said he had conferred with national officers of the fraternity and they felt a revamping of the house would be of more value than an attempt to repopulate it simply by adding pledges. Tau Delta Phi will have been on campus 40 years next month. They live in a new house at 2710 Severence. More information on the convocation will be issued by the IFC in a bulletin to dormitory counselors, ath- letic coaches and the Hillel Foundation. Also brought before the council was a proposal stnmmin^ frcm la -1 month's Direction '67 conference doling with the establishment of a President's Award for Fraternity Excellence. Any house which matched star m ards in seven categories would be eligible to receive the award. Action on the proposal was postponed until the next meeting so that the criteria fcr the awards could be studied more thoroughly. The council also agreed to participate in URA-sronsrred flag football this fall rather than set up its own program in competition with the university. Leagues will probably consist of six teams each with ?ames being officiated by URA officials. Five committees were established along the lines set forth in an upcoming report on Direction '67. The committees were placed in charge of scholarship, pledging, finance and Greek Week. An attempt is being made to cut down on the number of committees and to consolidate their duties to provide for a more economical and better functioning system. SDS warns campus of INSTANT DISAPPEARANCE - USC students quickly deserted their Dodgers yesterday at Trojan Hall. The top picture, taken during the World Series game, shows a roomful of filled chairs. The bottom picture, or the after picture, as Charles Atlas would say, shows only two lane supporters remaining after the O'Malleys lost, 6-0.Never let it be said that LA supporters would take a 6-0 score sitting down. 'political lethargy' BIRNKRANT HONORED ’Michael C. Birnkrant. member of the Board of Trustees from April 19(il until his death Aug. 31. 1966, was cited lor “his dedication lo higher learning and his generosity in the cause of learning.” by the board Wednesday. In a resolution adopted unanimously, Birnkrant was memorialized for “his wisdom and devoted labor on behalf of generations of students and faculty.” “The university has been ennobled, enriched, and honored by his presence here,” the resolution said. Birnkrant and his wife were donors of the Cecele and Michael C. Birnkrant residence hall for women He also served as a member of the finance and budget and buildings and grounds committees of 1he Board of Trustees. Dockson raps policies that lead to inflation Knights add new members to fill manpower shortage Nineteen men have been accepted as new Trojan Knights to fill the group's manpower shortage. They are John Barta, Peter Chang. Gary Eastham. Barry Finer. James Greenwood, R.oberi Hesselgesser. Howard Jahn, Lloyd Jarvis, William Johnston and Greg Kieselmann, Pat Larkin. Fred Lovell, R.obert McCullough, Fred Quinn. Rob Rodgers. Jim Smoot, Tim Takamoto. Arnold Weitz and Albert Wickett. The new Knights will meet in Dean of Men Tom Hull's office, 225 Student Union, at 3 p.m. today to re- ceive instructions for their initial duties at tomorrow's football game. Chosen following a test on Trojan traditions and a personal interview, they will help supervise card stunts at halftime. Hull announced that applications for Squires, a sophomore men's service honorary, are due in his office by 3 p.m. today. A test on Trojan history and traditions will be given Thursday at 4 p.m. in 133 Founders Hall to select between 10 and 20 new Squires. A review session is set for Tuesday at 2:15 p.m. in 133 Founders Hall. “For political or other reasons, our government has deliberately followed policies which feed inflation,” Dr. Robert Dockson, dean of the Graduate School of Business Administration, said Monday. Addressing the insurance industry's Million Dollar Roundtable luncheon hosted by Union Bank at the Ambassador Hotel. Dockson said “every student of economics has known since last year that we are in for serious trouble.” He also said failure of the Johnson administration to accept and act positively on financial facts of life relating to a runaway inflation may well turn out to be the greatest economic blunder since 1929. “T h e President of the United States must assume the full responsibility for the alarming position in which we find ourselves.” he said. “Today we have an economic theory which explains what must be done if a modern economy is to enjoy a high level of income and full employment,” he said. He explained that this theory states that the level of employment depends partly on the level of spending by consumers, businesses and government. “Ever since last December, our economy should have been running a Dr. Void to be honored among top lady chemists Dr. Marjorie Void will fly to Miami. Fla. in April to receive the American Chemical Society's Garvan Medal, singling her out as one of the nation’s outstanding women chemists. Dr. Void, an adjunct professor of chemistry, will receive the gold medal and bronze replica of the perpetual trophy for her extensive research concerning colloids (materials in the form of particles, fibers or films of microscopic proportions.) “She merits this recognition for showing the way and opening the door to chemistry for other women.” a colleague said in nominating Dr. Void for the Garvan Medal. Dr. Void pointed out that much of her research was done in collabora tion with her husband, Dr. Robert Void, professor of chemistry here since 1949. “It is my conviction that in some far-off but eventual Utopia,” Dr. Void said, “there will be no distinction on the basis of nationally, sex and such irrelevant factors among scientists. Nevertheless, chemistry is still a man’s world at the present time.” Dr. Void has suffered from multiple sclerosis since 195S, but hasn't let that affliction keep her from research and teaching. She grew up in an atmosphere of scientific research, spending much of her childhood at Lick Observatory. Mt. Hamilton, Calif., where her grandfather, Dr. Robert Aitken, was the director for many years. surplus in the federal budget along with a gradual tightening of the money supply. It has been federal policy, not our economic theory, which has failed.” He also said that if we can find a wray to even partially “take politics out of economics we can fight this (Vietnam) w^ar, win it and still maintain a stable economy.” TICKETS ON SALE FOR MORT SAHL Tickets for Mort Sahl’s appearance Monday in Bovard Auditorium will be available today and Monday at the Student Activities Office in the YWCA, 857 W. 36th. for SI. Tickets will also be available at the door. The performance By GREGORY KRLGLAK Students for a Democratic Society began its second year on campus by handing out leaflets and discussing political views with anyone who would listen. Paul Huebner. a senior in music composition, and Bob Olson, a philosophy junior, set up shop in front of the Student Union yesterday. Their objectives were to interest people in the meeting being held today at noon in the Ecumenical Center and to alert the students to the “political lethary” at USC. “Our purpose is an educational one,” Huebner said, discussing the goals of SDS in an interview yesterday. Olson said the nation is undergoing a “moral revolution.” He hinted that most USC students were still unaware that any revolution is going on, and that many don’t care and show no interest in politics. Huebner said many students have selfish political views and aren’t concerned with the people in Vietnam. They are only concerned with what will happen to the U.S. if the Communists take over, he said. The USC chapter Gf SDS would like to initiate a few projects, Huebner said. They would like to see a type of Hyde Park set up on campus, which they feel, wrould stimulate more discusions and debates among students. If SDS manages to establish this type of Hyde Park, or Free College as they call it, they would then like to bring in any speaker they choose, without seeking administrative permission. When asked whether SDS is being discriminated against on campus because of its extreme liberal leanings. Huebner said. “No. but I have the feeling that we are being watched.” It’s very possible they are being watched—by students, faculty and campus officials alike, to see what the reaction is to USC's first radical group. 2 area rapists sentenced to gas chamber Two men have been sent to the gas chamber for a series of kidnappings and assaults upon four young women living near the USC campus, including one student, last Spring. Archie Simmons, 26. was given three death penalties and 26-yeai*-old Gene Daniels was handed two death counts under the state's “Little Lindbergh” law. One of their victims, a 19-year-old USC coed attacked while shopping at a market at Vermont and Santa Barbara Avenues, was taken to 49th and Mam Streets where she was beaten and raped. ECONOMIST ON ROMANCE 'Capitalism-nobody loves it DR. MARJORIE VOID An outstanding woman chemist “Unless exchange is many sided In vain is labor subdivided. The principle applies ice f ind To all the products of the mind.” —Dr. Kenneth E. Boulding “The only thing wrong with capitalism, besides the technical difficulties which wre can cure,” said Dr. Boulding. “is that nobody loves it. Nobody’s going to die for the stock market.” Speaking in the third of a series of lectures sponsored by the Haynes Foundation last night in the Hancock Auditorium, the poet-economist discussed the “Interactions Between the Integrative and Other Systems.” The legitimated system of capitalism is “most successful with a socialistic attitude,” he said. “The society of today's nation is the set of three systems interacting, each with dynamics of their own. What and when the systems interact are dynamic shapes of the entire society.” Dr. Boulding said, “there is a rather strong inverse correlation between teaching and learning. Some societies learn easily and to others it is more difficult. “Democracy, itself, is a learning system.” The system of our democracy. Dr. Boulding said, is legitimated. “The legitimated system is a system designed to impress people.” In a short summation of his other lectures, Dr. Boulding explained that society consisted of three major dynamic systems: threat, exchange, and integration—all being interelated and individually dynamic. “The essential nature of any dynamic system is learning,” said the University of Michigan economics professor. “I’m even prepared to argue this with anybody, even the biologists. Knowledge is the only thing that can grow." Trojan sword, spirit emerge from seclusion After years of seclusion, the Trojan sword has finally made its comeback. At the Oregon State game, the 30-pound bronze sword was in view on a table behind the team bench. Bob Jani, director of Special Events, said the sw'ord appeared at the last game because of a sudden revival in school spirit. “The situation is the same as with card stunts; the students just picked up interest again,” Jani said. Contrary to popular belief, the sword was not stolen by the UCLA f Bruins and kepi by them for the last two years, it just has not been in use. he said. The sword always points in the direction the team is moving and is carefully guarded during each game. USC acquired the sword over 15 years ago as a gift of the J. A. Meyers Company, a metal casting firm. Imprinted on the sword are the words “Strength, security, control.” The sword, an exact replica of the one Tommy Trojan holds, is used by Knights in their initiation.
