TROY WINSLOW SUCCESSFULLY ENDS SECOND-QUARTER DRIVE FOR A FIRST DOWN The score at this point was 7-0 for Purdue, as 101,455 fan? watched in the Rose Bowl
McKay leaves like a winner
By STEVE HARVEY Co-Sports Editor
The test of a man comes in the aftermath of failure. That is what its all about. With success, it is different. It is easy to forgive, to be nice to people you would not ordinarily be nice to. Life is easy. But with the loser it is different.
You have failed in some way to attain what you were seeking and you have this riding around inside you; and in the aftermath of failure you reveal yoilrself.
USC Coach John McKay was waiting in the dressing room Monday after losing by one point and three yards. 14-13. to Purdue in the biggest of all the college football games a Uam can play in.
In came the reporters, and most of them had written that the selection of USC to play in the Rose Bowl was a joke.
There have been coaches in Situation similar to this, who have refused to talk to reporters. Others have be-

rated the reporters. One coach even slugged a newspaperman.
They came in to the dressing room and they started to ask McKay questions. “I can’t hear you,” one of them said.
And McKay answered the rest of the questions standing on a bench for the benefit of the reporters.
TYPICAL GESTURE
It was no great shock really. McKay is this type of man.
He is in the business of coaching and he was forced, near the end of the game, to go for the one-point conversion and a tie or the two-point conversion and victory. He went for victory. And lost.
“I had been telling the boys for three weeks that they could beat Purdue. I couldn't take the opportunity away from them," he said.
“A tie would have been a moral victory.” a reporter said.
“The Trojans do not play for moral victories,” McKay said.
There was some criticism in other newspapers after the two-point conversion try. It has been a part of college football for a few seasons.
NO CRITICISM
Yesterday, one day after the loss. McKay sat in his office and said no. he did not know whether he was for or against the two-point rule.
. “I have never even thought about it.” he said. “I don't exactly know wlv>’ they did put in the rules. It is hard on any coach.
And then he added, smiling. “It sometimes forces him to make difficult decisions.
“The coaches have to live with it longest.'1 he continued. “He's the only one whose future is probably at stake.

The play is Still tremendously human, with a rare combination of character, humor and human nature, so lacking in most present-day plays."

Additions made in Dean's List
Three students. Candace T. Chan, Elizabeth Carr and Chester Grigg, were inadvertently omitted from the original LAS Dean’s List which appeared in the Nov. 15 Daily Trojan.
This correction was made yesterday by Dr. Neil Warren, dean of LAS. Although not included in the original list, these students have since been recognized for academic merit.

Two local book merchants do not think the ASSC book exchange has any chance of succeeding.
Both Dick Jack, coowner of Tam’s Bookstore for the past nine years, and Myer Fisher, manager of College Bookstore for 20 years, feel the exchange will be a total failure.
But C. A. Granstrom, manager of the University Bookstore, has every hope for the success of the ASSC venture, as does ASSC President Taylor Hackford.
LOSE PROFITS
“Of course they hope it will be a failure," Hackford said. "They are the ones who will be losing the profits.”
The exchange, to be called “The Scaffold.” will be set up in the third floor lounge of the Student Union after finals and continue into the second or third week of the spring semester.
Students will be able to bring their used books to the exchange where a resale price between the 50 perce.it price the bookstores would pay and the 75 percent price they would charge for resale will be set.
WHOLESALE BOOKS
If a student’s book is not sold at the exchange, it will be returned to
jii,m and Jie will be able to sell it at one of the local stores or allow the ASSC. in cooperation with the university, to wholesale the book.
Jack explained that college bookstores across the country buy texts at a price 20 percent below the publisher's retail price. This 20 percent disappears in the costs of ^hipping, receiving, stock work and other personnel expenses, he said.
“The bookstores try to make * return on their investment on th* sale of used books,” he said. The 5(5 percent the student receives on a new book and the 75 percent resale price has been worked out scientifically and is the only way bookstores can operate to cover basic expenses. Jack explained.
LOT OF BALONEY’
Hackford feels this is “just a lot of baloney.” He said, “Perhaps Mr. Jack would like us to believe he is making absolutely no profit. I am sorry but I cannot see him as a great benefactor of the USC students.”’
Tam’s and College only order the number of books they need, Jack continued. If a student does not sell his book in the exchange and brings it to one of the local stores three weeks into the new semester, they may not even buy it back, he added.
If they do, it will probably be only

Vivian Hail dedication set for tomorrow
Vivian Hall of Engineering and Materials Science will be dedicated in ceremonies Thursday in honor of Dr. Robert E. Vivian, dean emeritus of the School of Engineering.
Dedication ceremonies will begin at 1:30 p.m. for the $2.7 million building, a gift of the Olin Foundation. Inc. Vivian Hall will be devoted to teaching and research in areospace, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering as well as the solid state interests of the School of Engineering.
Responsible in whole or in part for the education of engineering students at USC and later at Long Beach State and the Northrop Institute of Technology. Dr. Vivian is referred to in the engineering profession as the “dean emeritus squared.” because he retired twice — only to return to work again.
When he assumed the deanship in 1940, petroleum engineering was the only department accredited by thp Engineers Council for Professional Development.
Through Dean Vivian's efforts and academic leadership, the civil, electrical and mechanical engineering departments gained accreditation.
During World War II, Dean Vivian supervised the training of 50.000 civilians in the Engineering Science and Management War Training Program at USC.
Vivian Hall is the second major gift from the Olin Foundation. In structure, it compliments the building which it faces, the Olin Hall of Engineering. Two years ago, an Olin gift of $2.3 million made possible the structure, the first academic building to be erected in the Master Plan.
