TIP policies to advocate greater student freedom
WILL LADYBIRD OK IT?
LBJ didn't make it to the von RleinSmid Center dedication, but Lady Bird, well-known for her campaigns to preserve natural resources, may have to appear when the Student Activities Center is completed.
Nation-wide complaints about the depletion of natural resources, including some objections by students about the removal of lawns and trees on campus, will have to be discontinued il the country follows USC's example.
Trees from the park south of the Student Union are being removed to make room for the new Student Activities Center, but they won't be relegated to a trash heap. Instead, these trees will live in comfort in large square boxes in another part of town until the center is finished.
They will then be transported back into the area and replanted, and students can pretend that nothing has happened to at least one portion of the campus.

The Trojan Independent Party has advocated a revision of lockout hours, the establishment of visitation privileges in the dorms during certain hours, the freedom to use alcoholic beverages in the dorms and on the Row and an uodating of dress regulations. according to a policy statement issued by TIP President Mike Mayock.
The policy of the “on-campus political party which is concerned only with affairs of student government” calls for more student freedom and a revision of student regulations.
The statement said in part. “We condemn the university administration for its unnecessarily restrictive regulations and its attempts to stifle the free expression of the students and their organization, the ASSC."
TIP leaders have claimed that the ineffectiveness of student government in the past is due to shortcomings of both the ASSC and the administration.
Mayock's statement charges that ASSC leaders have failed to take responsibility for initiating long-needed student services and that the administration has made policies which served to stifle the unification of student factions. Also, the university, by not granting an independent source of ASSC funds, has hindered the growth of student freedom.
Associated Men Students plan semester of problem solving
By LIANE KRUSE
Associated Men Students (AMS), an organization whose purpose is to represent a 11 male students, today outlined its plans for the semester, through President Stu Benjamin.
He pointed out that the organi zation rather than centering its activities abound the men. is aiming to fulfill the general needs of all the students.
Benjamin gave an example that his group is initiating a committee system which will form different committees as needed to deal with campus problems in general.
Benjamin expressed hope that the AMS Council will also expand its scope of action. The council is com posed of the presidents of the men's organizations such as Knights. Men's Halls Association. Trojan Marching
Band and the AMS president and vice president. Its purpose is to coordinate the activities of these various croups, suggest guide lines for them to follow and to promote their cooperation.
SERVICE TO UNIVERSITY
This year, under the newly-drafted AMS constitution and by-laws. Benjamin hopes that each of the participating groups will realize its resnonsibilities to the entire student body and the university.
“These groups have an obligation to do something productive,” he said. “They should be of service to the university and the community. The AMS Council exists to help provide the direction for this action.”
AMS has already begun work on a Junior College Relations Commit
tee. Members of the group will meet Thursday with Benjamin and junior college counselors from the immediate area to discuss the problems relevant to junior college students and their relation to the university.
President to seek change
“For too long the university has fostered the ‘in loco parentis’ concept (standing in place of the parent) and carried it to an absurd extreme.” Mayock said. “We feel that the university has. in enforcing this policy, brought about a senseless deprivation of individual libertv. As a	of rectifying this situation. TIP advocates the liberalization of student regulations.”
In addition to revising student regulations. TIP also wants more student freedom on campus. The independent party has proposed a student evaluation of the faculty, the establishment of a free speaker’s program coupled with the designation of a specific rally area and the elimination of all pressures on the Daily Trojan staff by the administration.
The joining of the National Student Association and the freedom of all students, regardless of their unit load, to vote in ASSC elections are also among the TIP proposals.
Of the TIP policy on more student freedom. Mayock said: “We feel the USC student is mature enough

1-A draft status not end of world-dean
R> VAN WILKINSON
A 1-A draft classification is not the end of the world. Assistant Dean of Men John, McKinstry said in an interview Tuesdav.
“You cannot be drafted during the semester if you are a full-time student and have not used up your I-SC deferment.” he added.
A I-SC deferment is given for one full academic year, and does not mean the student cannot regain a 2-S status. In reality, a I-SC deferment is ps protective as a 2-S deferment except that it is given only once.
When a I-SC expires, an appeal may be made for reclassification, and does not indicate induction.
Students who took the Selective Service Test and flunked are not subject to reclassification for that reason. ‘The Selective Service Test is one-way: it can only help you,” McKinstry said.
However, he added that all classifications are up to local draft boards, and particular situations make some classifications rather subjective.
TROY QB CLUB MEETS AT NOON
The Trojan Quarterback Club will meet today at noon in 133 Founders Hali. Films of the Oregon State game will be shown, and coach Craig Fertig and players. Rod Sherman and Larry Petrill will discuss the game.
The next Selective Service Test will be given Nov. 18 and 19. Applications for this test may be picked up in the Registrar's Office or at the office of the Dean of Men. The applications must be in the mail before midnight, Oct. 21.
Students making normal progress, and who have high enough grade averages may still get a I-A classification.
By this procedure, draft boards force students to appeal, and thereby send in additional information about their progress as a student
All appeals are being handled through the Registrar’s Office, and teachers are urged not to write individual letters of recommendation.
The maximum draft age has been raised to 35. so those who planned on “making normal progress” until their 26th birthday and then retiring to Greenwich Village should forget it.
In addition, graduate work (especially towards a teaching credential) is being more closely evaluated. As McKinstry put it, “A fellow with a B.S. who is working on a defense project is in better shape than a student working on his Ph.D. in English.’’
Still, a graduate student can get that magical I-SC classification, finish that year, and appeal to his draft board for a II-S because he is in the middle of an academic program aimed at a specific degree.
Leo Rosten, author of many best sellers, will speak at noon today at the Biltmore Hotel Ballroom on “The Myths by Which We Live.”
The lecture, sponsored by the School of Library Science, is being held in conjunction with the annual convention of the California Library Association.
Rosten, a special consultant and editorial adviser to Look magazine, has written several books and received scrcenplay credits. His best known works include “Captain Newman, M.D.,” “The Many Worlds of Leo Rosten.” “Education of Hyman Kaplan” and “Hollywood: The Movie Colony.”
Born in Poland, Rosten received his Ph.D. in 1937 in Chicago and did graduate work at the London School of Economics.
He has lectured on politics and international relations at New York University. Stanford. Yale, UCLA and the New School of Social Research and was a faculty associate at Columbia University.
A winner of a Freedoms Foundation Award in 1955, Rosten is a mem-
to handle these additional responsibilities. That is why he is going to college — to be prepared to face the world as an individual with responsibility, not as a machine-punched IBM card.”
The purpose of TIP, which was formed last vear. is to advocate responsible student government through promulgation of effective and needed programs said Mayock.
In the future, TIP would like to see the addition of a student telephone directory, a student book bartering center and a mutual ticket agency to keep in step with the party’s purpose.
“Any student, regardless of living group affiliation, who is interested in achieving these goals through responsible student government is invited to join TIP,” said Mayock.

Foreign educators study academic trends here
By ANN SALISBURY Assistant Feature Editor
USC will host 21 educators from 12 foreign countries until Dec. 12 while they study current academic trends in the United States.
The educators are here as part of a program, administered by the Department of State, called International Teacher Development Program.
This project brings educators from approximately 65 nations to promote a mutual understanding a-mong free nations and to improve teaching standards and techniques.
The foreign instructors are teachers, principals, superintendents, inspectors. supervisors and ministers of education. They are mainly interested in secondary administration and supervision.
The seminars will be conducted by Drs. Lloyd Nelson, Myron Olson and David Martin.
The group plans to visit the State Department offices in Sacramento where they hope to meet Governor Brown.
As part of their program they will visit local schools to study team teaching, modular scheduling, office procedures, counseling and guidance
services, language laboratories library procedures and work experience programs.
Families in Temple City and Santa Monica will provide homes for the educators while they are attending lectures and seminars. By doing this they will become well acquainted with American family life.
On weekends the teachers will live with families from different cities.
They will see movie studios, television stations. Disneyland, baseball and football games, the Ice Follies aircraft and automobile factories, the Pomona County Fair Grounds, m\i-seums and art centers.
To complete the program, the participants will spend six weeks in Har risburg and Boston where they will observe schools and discuss their experiences there and in neighboring communities.
They will conclude their American visit with a trip to Washington for an evaluation of the program.
The educators are from Australia, Cyprus. Finland. India, Jamaica, Nepal, the Netherlands, Pakistan, the Philippines, Spain, Thailand and Korea.
Stauffer Science Hall dedication set today
LEO ROSTEN Speaks at Biltmore
ber of the National Council of the Author’s Guild of America and is 1966-67 chairman of the steering committee for National Library Week.
The lecture will be free to all library science students. Other students may attend at a cost of $4.50.
Two buildings named Stauffer will be dedicated today at 1:15 p.m. in a unique ceremony honoring the donors — a man and a company.
The $l-million Stauffer Hall of Science was made possible by a gift from the Stauffer Chemical Co., one of the nation's largest chemical firms.
The John Stauffer Science Lecture Hall was a gift from a distinguished Los Angeles philanthropist and business executive and a member of the Board of Trustees.
Created by architect William L. Pereira and Associates of Los Angeles, the two Stauffer buildings have been designed to blend in with USC’s older science buildings.
President Topping will dedicate the buildings “to the sharing of ideas and knowledge.” Representatives of
USC STUDENT TUTORS
Project aids four local schools
the Stauffer company and family will be present for the ceremony in the Science Quadrangle.
A reinforced concrete structure faced with brick, the Science Lecture Hall includes two amphitheater style lecture-demonstration rooms for nearly 100 students each on its lower level. A larger lecture room for 200 persons occupies the second level.
The Stauffer Hall of Science includes 36 large laboratories, four darkrooms and 18 offices for faculty and researchers in the physical sciences. To achieve the most efficient use of the building's floor space, the stairs, electrical distribution and service areas are all contained in a central core, freeing all outside wall space for laboratories and offices.
Stauffer Hall’s white concrete exterior walls and precast window screens correspond to those of the adjoining Ahmanson Center for Biological Research.

Children in four local schools are trying to catch up in their studies with the help of USC's Tutorial Project.
The project, directed by a senior sociology major, Alan Linsley, provides tutors for children who are referred by their individual schools.
Main Street and Holmes Avenue Elementary Schools, and John Adams and Audubon Junior Highs are participating in the program.
Linsley explained that the project has a new aspect this year. “Our philosophy is that the tutor’s job is to help the community teach the child
to help himself. We want to give the child’s community the means to help him.”
ONE-TO-ONE
Tutors help children on a one-to-one basis, and tutor one or two days a week. In elementary schools they concentrate on basic language arts: spelling, reading and writing.
On the junior high level, these aspects are covered, but all subjects, including the new math, are tutored.
The project, which will begin Oct. 10, already includes about 100 tutors, but could use 150-200 more. Requests for tutorial services often reach 3-
4,000 and cannot all be filled, Linsley said.
“Anyone wrho signs up is committing himself, and should attend every session,” said Linsley.
The Tutorial Office is loated in the YWCA. 857 W. 36th Place, and is open from 1 to 4 weekday afternoons.
Each of the four programs is under the direction of a student. Nancy Yaman, a senior sociology major, directs at Audubon; sophomore English major Judy L^ at John Adams: junior psychology major Len Mathe-son at Holmes Avenue, and Cyndy Heath, a junior in sociology, at Main Street.	^
