Lawyers Complacent, Finch Tells Students
By ANDY MILLER
Lt. Gov. Robert Finch blamed today's lawyers Saturday for being complacent while the public has lost respect for both the law and lawyers.
Finch spoke here at a luncheon for 500 Los Angeles high school students at the second annual Youth Forum on Law Day.
Finch said the lawyer has been losing this respect ever since De Tocqueville said 140 years ago that the legal profession in America seemed to be the aristocracy.
The lieutenant governor said dis-
Dr. Ducloux Will Head Music Group
Faculty members for the Congress of Strings. June 19 - Aug. 11, were announced today by Dean Raymond Kendall of the School of Performing Arts.
Dr. Walter Ducloux. chairman of the Conducting and Opera Departments and director of the Opera Theater. will administer the group of 60 young musicians gathered for the congress here from throughout the West.
Henry Siegel. Seattle Symphony concertmaster, and Hyman Goodman, Toronto Symphony concertmaster, will teach the 30 violinists.
Milton Thomas, principal violinist of Festival Casals. Inc.. in Puerto Rico, will instruct the 12 violists.
Joseph Schuster, former New York Philharmonic concertmaster. will teach the ten cellists.
Gary Karr, now on the University of Wisconsin faculty and a former USC student, will instruct the eight double-bass players.
Ducloux will be assisted by Hans Beer, assistant director of the USC Sym phony.
The congress is sponsored by the American Federation of Musicians with a Rockefeller Foundation grant. A group of 60 Eastern students will attend a similar congress at the Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs. New York.
The musicians at USC will divide their time between orchestra and section rehearsals and instruction, and faculty and orchestra concerts.
Bovard concerts will be given five times throughout the summer, including two on July 12 and Aug. 2 conducted by Dr. Ducloux. Ducloux will also conduct a concert at Saratoga on Aug. 11, when Richard Burgin. musical director of the Eastern congress, will conduct here.
respect for the lawyer's role is the lawyer's fault, and should be today's lawyer’s concern.
Finch cited a speech given by F. Lee Baily. criminal trial lawyer, at last year's American Bar Association meeting. Baily speculated that if the Bill of Rights were put to a vote today, it would fail to be adopted.
“This is our fault; the public doesn't know what the rule of law really means,” Finch, also a lawyer, said.
Finch said lawyers have been complacent by not articulating their role, not being political activists, and not being generalists.
“The lawyer has the pivotal role. Today’s lawyer must be the political activist. The lawyer should make a difference in every capacity, not just being a candidate." he said.
Finch is a graduate of the USC law school, but Glendon Tremaine. County Bar Association president, listed last in his introduction of Finch what he considered to be the lieutenant governor's most important accomplishment. Finch was a Little League manager from 1962-65.
The Youth Forum included panel discussions, workshops, and the luncheon. Workshops were led by prominent Los Angeles attorneys and judges.
Finch also commented on the importance of apprehending criminals.
“In my mind there is a clear cause for the determent of major thought in the criminal’s mind. But apprehension is the real threat. We should concentrate on getting the criminal after he commits the crime,” he said.
“In order to decrease crime, we must increase the number of people wanting law-abiding behavior. We can’t simply pass laws,” he said.

Twice Our Share of Crime-Gov. Reagan at Law Day
By AUDREY RAMSAY Assistant to the Editor
A state-wide computer link-up joining 29 local law-enforcement agencies with the FBI, was announced yesterday by Gov. R.onald Reagan at the Law Day luncheon sponsored by the USC Law Alumni at the Biltmore Bowl.
This new set-up, “to allow the rapid exchange of information,” the governor said, was inaugurated late last week.
The first computer-to-computer installation to be used in crime prevention, it uses the California Highway Patrol as the link between the local agencies and the FBI.
The governor noted that California is the leading state in the major crimes.
“We have nearly twice our share —nine percent of the population and about 17 percent of the crime.” he said.
“There are many reasons and theories given for the increase in the incidence of crime.
“I personally cannot hold with the theory that says society is to blame . . . and we must be understanding and as sympathetic for the criminal as we are for the victim.” Gov. Reagan told the audience of nearly 600.
He criticized President Johnson’s “false premise that places the wrong emphasis on crime control, blaming poverty as the major cause.
“There was never a lower point in crime than in the depths of poverty in the Depression.” Gov. Reagan said, contrasting that era with the affluence of the ’60s and the current high crime rate.
“The streets of many of our big cities have become unsafe after dark and in seme neighborhoods, even in the daytime.”
“A major reason for the increase in crime is the very progress we are making which benefits and enriches our civilization. Scientific and technological advances are being utilized by and adapted for use by the criminal element.”
“If we are to reverse this trend it is necessary that society also use to the fullest our scientific and technological advances in the prevention, detection and control of crime.
Gov. Reagan also announced that the details of a. Master Plan for California Criminal Justice are now before the State Senate and Assembly.
These include providing for coordination between state and local governmental agencies and between California and the federal government.
The FBI-local agency link is just one project already implemented under this plan.
The governor pledged to continue seeking to remove judicial appointments from politics. The Senate Judiciary Committee recently killed a proposal for a constitutional amendment, which would have created a nominating commission to review names submitted for appointment. The governor would have made his appointments from the commission's recommendations.
To fill a vacancy, he would be required to submit at least three names to the commission for them to rec-
r
ommend at least two eligible candidates.
The bill would also have changed the election procedures for municipal and superior court judges by making them yes-or-no votes instead of contested races.
A burst of applause followed Gov. Reagan's statement that. “I promise unequivocally that I will resubmit this legislation next year and for as long as necessary to have it enacted into law.”
The governor outlined plans “to assure justice for all our people and at the same time make it possible for the law abiding to live under the law without fear of it or of those who refuse to abide by the law.”
This proposed legislation includes:
•	Restoring to the cities and counties the ability to enact local laws designed to meet local problems.
•	Increasing penalties for criminals who inflict great bodily harm upon their victims with dangerous weapons.
•	Strengthening laws dealing with pornography and obscenity, with special emphasis on the dissemination of such material to minors.
•	Closing certain records for persons arrested unjustly who “must live the remainder of their lives with a public police record.”
Gov. Reagan criticized appellate court actions which “in some areas have overbalanced the scales of justice so that the rights of society are outweighed by decisions granting new rights to individuals accused of crimes.”
“The war on crime Is a never-ending one.
“And it is necessary that we pursue it constantly and with vigor if our citizens are to be safe on our streets and in their homes, and if man is to be able to live free from fear of his fellow man in an ever-contracting world and an increasingly more complex society,” he concluded.
His speech was followed by a standing ovation.
Men s Dorms Open House Termed Huge Success
By GEORGENE McKIM
Sunday's open house in the men's dormitories was deemed an overwhelming success by a consensus of male dorm residents, resident assistants, and head residents.
The open house allowed male residents to bring female guests to their rooms from 2 to 5 p.m. providing that the guest was escorted by the host to the room, and signed in with Mte -officer in, charge on each floor upon arrival and departure.
The open house is an experimental program to determine whether such a policy is feasible for future impli-mentation. It is sponsored by MHA and WHA.
According to the men themselves, the head residents, and the resident's assistants, the only thing that marred the event was a light turnout.

Final Rehearsals Dominate End of Songfest Planning
It’s Songfest minus four.
Tonight at 6 p. m. the 400 or so Songfest participants will assemble in Bovard Auditorium for a mass chorus rehearsal of the Songfest finale.
Sonny Burke, guest conductor for Songfest, 1967. will be on hand to guest conduct the songs of Troy — “Fight On,” “Cardinal and Gold,” “Carry On,” “Trojans. March On” and “Alma Mater” — in preparation for Saturday night's finale.
Chinese Cultural Revolution To Be Topic of Discussion
Mong-Ping Lee, research assistant for the Research Institute on Communist Strategy and Propaganda, will speak at noon today in the lounge of Von KleinSmid Center on the topic “China's Cultural Revolution — Implications for the U.S.”
In his speech on the cultural revolution Lee said he will attempt to answer “why Mao Tse-Tung. chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, and Lin Tiao have to mobilize the
Red Guard against the party machine they themselves built up in the last 17 years?”
Lee wants to examine the characteristics of Communist rule as a form of government and the inclination of Mao Tse-Tung as a party leader of the Chinese Communist Party.
Lee has said the distinguishing characteristic of Chinese Communism is a leadership doctrine by which the party elite manage the conduct of affairs of state.
Rehearsals tonight and tomorrow will prepare for Thursday’s dress rehearsal at the Hollywood Bowl.
And then, for some, rehearsals will be over. But for others there will be extra rehearsals Friday, in-between TGIF’s, and Saturday, in-between the USC-UCLA baseball game, the USC-UCLA track meet and the football scrimmage.
Finally it will be Saturday night at 8 p.m. and Dr. Thomas P. Nickell, vice-president of university planning, will take the stage to introduce the first Songfest entry.
Judging the fourteenth annual production of this, the largest collegiate musicale in the United States, will be Rudy Vallee, Robert and Richard Sherman; Johnny Mercer, Ken Darby, Douglas Morrow and Lionel Newman.
A special award will be presented to Traveler I at the end of the first act. He will return, spotlighted on a hill above the Bowl, during the singing of the Songfest finale.
Tickets, on sale all week in front of the Student Union and in the Ticket Office, 209 Student Union, cost $3.50 for box seats, $2.50 for reserved seats and $1.50 for general admission.
sor) was made last night at dinner by Phrateres President Charlotte Neumann.
Nebel was the contestant who posed in front of a 1922 Model-T dump truck. He wore glasses and was smoking a cigar. He also hadn't shaved for two days.
Nebel’s initial reaction to winning was a spontaneous “Yeah!”
He followed up with the comment, “It is an honor; a dubious and unique honor. This doesn’t happen to you every day, thank God. This is truly a rare distinction.”
‘It’s really a shock to see how I look in the morning, especially if it’s after a party,” Nebel confessed.
Nebel came from behind on the closing days of the contest to defeat second-place winner Elliot Zwiebach. He put a shoebox with $30 in it in his bin, in addition to about $15 that was already there.
Zwiebach. a junior in journalism and Trojan Knights’ candidate, felt he should be “a gracious loser in the fine tradition of Adam Herbert, Bob Harmon and Clyde Doheney.
“I think the fact that Nebel wore no make-up and I did (Calamine lotion) to make myself ugly justifies his election.
“I guess I should have endorsed Nebel in my column—then he could never have won.
“But my mistake was in endorsing myself, and this semester anyway, that seems to be the surest way of insuring victory for an opponent.” The final breakdown showed that Nebel collected $61, six dollars above Zwiebach’s final tally. Roy Hargrave came in third with $50.
The remaining candidates who do not appear in finishing order netted anywhere from $11 to 64 cents.

id X. Marks Tower, called the open house “quite a success, but not too many people took advantage of it since many of the guys were gone.” When asked if any trouble oc-cured, he replied, “None what-so-ever.’
Only twelve girls visited Town and Gown, 15 visited Trojan Hall, 8 at Touton Hall and 23 at Marks Tower. Figures were not obtainable for Stonier Half or Marks Hall.
Don Kiloh, head resident in Trojan Hall, summed up the plight of the open house. “With more girls it would be more successful.”
Garner had two proposals for improving future open houses, 1) better publicity, and 2) guides in the lobby to help people who are just interested in seeing the buildings. As it stands now, female visitors must have a specific escort to a specific room.
When asked if the RA's knew what was going on behind all those closed doors Garner replied. “I want to emphasize that we are not in a position to know.
“We. (the RA's and head residents) are not here to legislate morals.”
Continuing on the moral implications of the open house, Jerry Ng, head resident of Touton Hall, said that he observed no infractions of rules and that everyone was discreet and behaved.
He lauded the open house policy as “a very fine and realistic decision, one that was long overdue — MHA and WHA should be commended.”
Ng thinks better communication and clarification of the rulings would be instrumental to future open houses.

Master Plan, Dental School Get Grants
Grants totalling $15,000 to USC's Master Plan for enterprise and excellence in education and to the School of Dentistry have been made by the Mary See Foundation of Los Angeles and the Eli Lilly Company of Indianapolis.
The Mary See Foundation, which also assists United Crusade. Stanford University, the University of Redlands, the Claremont Colleges and Occidental College, donated $10,000 to USC's Master Plan.
Eli Lilly and Company, manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and biolo-gicals, made the second payment of $5,000 on an unrestricted grant of 510,000 for the building program for the School of Dentistry.
“We are happy to support and further the fine work USC is doing in the field of education,” Laurance A. See, president of his family’s foundation, said.
The Lilly grant was made to Dr. Topping through the office of Henry F. DeBoest, vice-president for corporate affairs, by two representatives of the company.
any value judgments on Sunday's event until the open houses scheduled for May 7 and May 21 take place.
Herbert Harbeson. Director of lesidence halls, said that he would make no determination until there are three more open houses.
Although the officials are waiting and watching for future developments, they do agree that Sunday's open house was very well carried off and that everyone behaved.
John A. McKinstry. assistant dean of men, said “I didn’t hear of a single infraction and I wouldn’t expect any.”
“As far as I know it went very well, I haven’t heard any gripes or screams. I think the boys did very well.” William Stanley, residence halls manager, said.
