Marriage rapped as an evil of our society
By KATHY GALLOWAY
Marriage and th? rearing of children by unskilled females are both evils of our society, Dr. Kenneth E. Boulding said in his fifth lecture on the Logic of Love Wednesday night.
Dr. Boulding's speech. “The Dynamics of Love in the Embrace of Society.” was the last in his Haynes Foundation Lecture series.
He said love is almost an accidental property of society. It must be learned in the early parent-child relationship.
Dr. Boulding characterized American society as a loveless one. which is why we value love so highly.
ONLY HALF WAY Sexual revolutions are nothing new. he said. But each revolution is only a half-revolution. Two revolutions "ill bring it back to the jrig-inal situation.
“The final logic of love is that there is no easy stopping point. Love can be extended to everyone and everything, though there are species of love—appropriate types for different people and objects.” Boulding said.
He also said societies are very concerned with identification and "we groups.”
All social systems have a s cred history, he said, comparing American history classes to Sunday School. The system has such sacred events and documents such as the Revolution and Declaration of Independence.
EVOLUTION MYSTERY Dr. Boulding also said man ean-rot predict where evolution will take him. “One must be able to adiust to the unexpected.”
Evolutionary potential is still a Tr.ystery. “We know nothing about it.*’ he said.
There is a fundamental surprise in any process involving knowledge. He also said evolution is social as well as genetic, and that both increase in complexity with time.
PRAY FOR US
The I'nion Square riot will have a few additional revelers this year— the Daily Trojan staff.

The DT staff has been warned to be orderly, along with everyone else(f).
What we’re trying to say is. there ain't gonna be no DT Monday.
We’ll try to make it back by Tuesday. Prav for us.
A WINNiNG FORMULA? DR. McNELL MAKES A POLITICAL EXPERIMENT. Actually, he's conducting an experiment on polysaccharides.
Politics + chemistry-Will it equal victory:
?

“My opponent has one of the most negative records of any congressman from California,” Dr. Earl McNa.ll. a professor of biochemistry at USC and Democratic candidate for Congress from the 24th District, said yesterday.
McNall rated his chances to unseat the incumbent, Glen Lipscomb, as excellent.
“Previous campaigns have been underfinanced and understaffed,” he said, “but the current campaign has very broad support from all segments of the Democratic party.”
The 24th District, the largest in the Los Angeles area, ranges from Highland Park, Eagle Rock, and part of Glendale to Pomona and Claremont. Lipscomb, a Republican, has held office there since 1954 with little threat from Democratic opposition.
USC HISTORY
Dr. McNall graduated from USC with an A.B. in biochemistry. He did graduate work at UCLA and taught there from 1956 through 1961.
He joined the faculty of the USC School of Medicine with a dual appointment in the fields of biochemistry and medicine in 1961.
Since 1956 he has worked on a variety of problems with the Department of Defense and NASA.
McNall’s campaign has stressed areas where federal programs affect local problems. He said many college and university building programs
in his district have been made pos sible by federal aid to education bills, but his opponent has opposed these measures.
In the field of pollution control, he urged improved technological approaches to the problem. He suggest ed a reduction in the amount of ex haust emission permitted and called for research on transportation systems.
Noting that American cities will double in size within the next 35 years, he rated rapid transit among the most important issues in his district.
"The problems of a diffusely distributed operation, such as in the Los Angeles basin area, are quite different from those of the eastern Atlan tic seaboard.”
He commended the grant pro grams aimed at short-range trr-jis portation problems of high-density population areas, while urging w^ork on long-range problems for cities like Los Angeles.
He cited the proposals ranging from high-speed monorail systems to helicopter-bus plans as possible solu tions.
McNall expressed support of President Johnson’s policies in Viet nam. which “reflect the judgment of most academic specialists in the field of Far Eastern affairs.”
People active in his campaign who have worked in the Peace Corps and with governmental aid agencies Vietnam and Thailand vigorously support these policies, he said.
Judicial revision to effect clarified appellate system
A new system of appeals will play an integral part in a vast revision of USC’s judicial system, Dean cf Men Tom Hull said in an interview yesterday.
A newly-formed Student Behavioral Committee, it is hoped, will clarify the problem of original and appellate jurisdiction.
The official announcement on the judicial juggling act is expected in about two w’eeks.
Jurisdiction was the big judicial problem last year, Hull said, when the Student Activities Committee, a student-faculty council under Faculty Senate jurisdiction, refused to hear appeals from individuals and student organizations.
This left the responsibility with one man. Dean of Students Paul A. Bloland—a situation nobody wanted, especially Bloland.
CHANGED CONCEPT
The new committee is designed to take this responsibility away from an individual, and hopefully, abolish the lightning-bolt-from-above judicial concept.
Under the new system. Men’s Judicial and Women's Judicial would hear cases originally, and the appeals would be directed to the Student Ee-havioral Committee, which will also be a student-faculty group.
“At the present time we are working on a philosophy or code for the Behavioral Committee, a clear definition of jurisdictions for the many campus judicials and a system for prompt action on appeals of de-

cisions from these judicials,” Hull said.
“When we're finished, USC will have the best system in the country—bar none.”
Also included in the revision is a change in the fraternity disciplinary structure, although details of this system have not yet been worked out.
Hull said the new ASSC Student
Court wasn't in the original ^organizational plans, but logically should be included in any explanation of the judicial system.
“This reorganization means that for the first time, students will be able to understand what happens in disciplinary cases, who handles thom, and where student-faculty and faculty authority originates.” Hull said.
TIP plans own explosion; fuse fizzles at first meeting
By GREGORY RRUGLAK
“I predict we are going to have an explosion in this organization because we got to the issues first and the people are going to come to us,” John Medford, member of the Trojan Independent Party's executive council, said at yesterday's organisational meeting.
The meeting could better be called an implosion. Out of an expected 100. 19 people showed up.
Mike Mayock, TIP president, said that he would like to see changes in dress regulations, liberalization of lockout hours, alcohol on the Row and in dorms, visitation privileges in dorms and less pressure on the Daily Trojan.
He also seeks approval for an area where people could speak and leaflets could be handed out without permission from the administration.

Instinctive urge to cuf is secret behind sculptor s one-man show
Prof. Harold Gebhardt likes to sit in front of a piece of stone or wood until he has an instinctive urge to cut.
Proof that this method works may be seen in his one-man show of sculptures that recently opened at the Fleischer Anahalt Gallery.
Gebhardt s exhibit is part of the showing of works by the faculty of the Department of Sculpture.
In fact, it is the only part.
ONE MAN ALONE
The Department of Sculpture consist of Gebhardt, period.
He is the master of a domain which consists of one barracks-type building, which he calls a topless addition. and about 50 students.
“If we had three times the room, we'd have three more instructors.” Gebhardt said.
Gebhardt explained that there are two types of artists—the illustrative artist who sketches and draws, and the intuitive artist who creates without first sketching. He describes himself as an intuitive artist.
“Every person possesses a creative sphere. This includes both conceptual and crafts talent,” Gebhardt said.
A person with conceptual talent doesn't necessarily become a craftsman, and there are many craftsmen who do not have the concepts, he
I
said. “Having the technique is not the same as having the concepts.” Gebhardt's one-man show will continue until Nov. 3 at the Fleischer Anahalt Gallery, 7421/4 N. La Cienega Blvd.
During the summer he had an exhibit at the Santa Barbara Museum
of Art. He has also participated in the American Art Exhibit at Rockefeller Center, New York City, and the Third Biennial International Exhibition at Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Gebhardt has been on the faculty for eight years, after spending 20 years at Occidental College.

USC’s Student Activity Center left its architect’s blueprint yesterday and became a USC construction site with the signing of the building contract.
Anthony D. Lazzaro, associate business manager and director of campus development, said that this will be the last semester of classes in the annex w'hen he announced the contract signing.
Proposed parking plans will expand facilities to accommodate 5,000 cars, he also noted.
“USC is far ahead of its original Phase One objective of the Master Plan with $21 million in campus construction now in progress. The Office of Campus Development is now tackling the coming projects with all systems go,” he said.
BUILDING SPURT “This great spurt of building and revamping is the most active on-campus building USC has seen since the 1924-34 period, when many of the major buildings on campus were constructed.”
Campus building was slowed down during the 1930’s and 40’s with the Depression and WW II and was not resumed until the late 40’s when a number of temporary buildings were erected to accommodate students returning from overseas.
“These barracks and annexes have survived out of necessity, but with the building of the Graduate Center for Education and Social Sciences and the extension of the campus to Vermont Avenue most of these old structures will be demolished.” “Except for the land originally
deeded to the university, USC has had to acquire its campus by purchasing the land from private owners and with urban renewal projects. The funds to finance these proposals come to the school through gifts and federal education grants.
“The Graduate Center for Education and Social Science, for example, was financed through the Waite Phillips estate and a $1,128,000 education grant. The Graduate School of Business. a $3 million project, was solely financed through private gifts,’ Lazzaro pointed out.
“No tuition money is involved with campus development.”
STUDENT CLUSTER
The much-discussed Student Activities Center will be a part of a cluster with the revamped Student Union and Commons, and will serve as the focal point of student campus activity. Recreational facilities will be housed in the Activities Center.
Since a major emphasis of the Master Plan was an increase in fulltime over part-time students, Lazzaro foresees a new married students unit and eventual campus accommodations for 3.500 students.
With the closing of streets near McClintock and Vermont, plazas and quadrangles will knit the campus together. Trees and shrubbery will be prominent on the proposed landscape.
“Both students and faculty will park in areas surrounding the campus, several minutes from classrooms and academic centers. Bicycles will probably be more common but most students will enjoy walks across the campus,” Lazzaro said.
PROJECT POTENTIAL' FINDINGS
Poverty breeds learning problems for kids
By ANN SALISBURY Assistant Feature Editor
“Children from a poverty culture frequently tend to have language difficulties because they do not realize that objects have names,” Dr. Newi.on
S.	Metfessel, chairman of the Department of Educational Psychology, said yesterday.
Dr. Metfessel was director of Project Potential, a two-year research project seeking reasons for the academic failure of children in poverty areas.
“Parents of culturally impoverished children frequently refer to objects in terms of pronouns, and they do not take time to play games of
identification (such as Where is your nose ? What color is the apple ? Wher® are your eyes?) with their children.
Because of this, youngsters enter school with serious language handicaps, he said.
Typically these students are not motivated by curiosity because they have owned so few things that stimulate them. They do not regard adults as people from whom they can obtain answers; therefore they do not relate to teachers in a basic question and answer way, Dr. Metfessel said.
Students from poor areas typically are from families which have few toys or play materials of different colors, sizes and shapes, he said.
As a result, these children receive little or no training in the concepts of color, directionality, position or relative size, he said.
Dr. Metfessel said these children are usually disciplined by physical force, rather than being presented with a reasonable explanation of why a certain act is wrong.
At school, discipline is either by reason or deprivation of privilege, and the child reacts to it in a discomforted way. He rarely has had any previous opportunity to understand the causes and results of his actions.
“Poverty children often do poorly on timed tests because they frequent-
ly have not been conditioned to the importance of the value of time, as the middle class American has,” Dr. Metfessel said.
He noted however, that achievers do understand time’s importance.
He said children of a poverty culture have the same potential ability as students from middle class families, but they have not been brought up with the basic learning experiences as children in a middle class environment.
“Students making normal progress are generally from families that have a high value for academic achievement and a close family relationship,” he said.
Mayock said TIP was formed to combat the lack of student interest in campus affairs. “If nobody protests, then the rules aren't going to change,” he said.
Medford, a second year law student and president of the campus branch of the American Civil Liberties Union, believes the rules can and will change.
Medford told his 19 listeners that the faculty and President Topping are in favor of many of their proposed changes, but it is the students who must take the initiative.
“The trustees have the final say, and Topping would be fired if he went against them.” Medford said.
“The real test will come in the upcoming freshman election,” Medford said.
TIP members feel that if their candidate wins the election, they’ll definitely be on the way up.

Three one-act French plays to be presented
Three French one-act plays will be presented in Stop Gap Theatre next week.
These avant-garde comedies by Beckett, Anouilh and Giraudoux will be offered as part of the Experimental Theatre program.
They will begin their run on Monday and continue through Saturday. Oct. 22. They will be directed by John Blankenchip, assistant professor of drama.
“Play” by Samuel Beckett tells the story of a man. his wife, and his mistress, who confront and react to one another without ever communicating. Barry Opper, Geraldine Chia-brera and Nancy Hickey star in the production. Steve Bellan is the producer.
In “Humulus the Mute" by Jean Anouilr. a young man is only allowed to speak one word each day. That word is chosen by his tutor and must be spoken to the Duchess. The characters in this fantasy are portrayed by Carlos Maquillon. George Drum, and Louise Piday. William Hunt will produce it.
Giraudoux's “Apollo of Bellac" will feature Trish Soodik as Agnes, A1 Garcia as the Apollo and Gary Rusoff as the president of the Bureau of Inventions. It is the story of a shy girl who gets a man from Bellac to help her after she is refused a job. The point of the play is that the girl proves she can get her way with any man by telling him that he is handsome. A1 Duncan is the producer.
Tickets will be available today and next week at the Bovard ticket office. They will cost $1, except for the Friday and Saturday performances, which will cost $1.50.
These plays will be the Drama Department's first productions since this summer’s success at the Edinburgh Festival. Many players who starred at Edinburgh are directing or acting in these plays.
The Stop Gap Theatre is located on Hoover Street, near Exposition Boulevard.
