The greatest event in British history since the sinking of the Spanish Armada. Dr. Martin Hick man is convinced, was this summer's World Cup championship soccer games
As a professor of international ; relations visiting the United King-| dom to set up a USC-sponsored I I.R. teaching program. Dr. Hickman took particular interest in the game's decisive play.
With the score tied between Britain and West Germany 2*2 in ! overtime play, the British player j kicked the ball towards the goal post. It didn't go over, but hit the crossbar.
In World Cup rules, a point would be scored if the ball bounced after crossing the goal line. No points would tally if it first bounced on the field side.
MINOR OFFICIAL
The umpire was downfield and unable to see the crucial play, so it was left to a minor official to call the hit and possibly name the winner.
The official was a Russian. He called the ball fair and the British won.
“It was interesting for me." Dr. Hickman commented, “to see the I English and Russians cooperate to beat the Germans.
“But 1 was amazed to note that they did it without any logistic support from the United States
Speaking at the semester's first j Faculty Center Association Luncheon yesterday. Dr. Hickman presented “The View from London.'
I emphasizing the political and cultural vistas he experienced during his 8-month stay.
Turning to the political adven-| tures of Prime Minister Harold j Wilson, he referred to the British

Ceremonies wfll takp place from * to 7 p.m. at 4 Westmoreland Place. Pasadena.
The house, a local landmark and cultural asset, has been given by the Gamble family to Pasadena and USC to preserve. It is considered one of the finest examples of the work of Greene and Greene, architects who pioneered the California bungalow style.
Built in 1908. the house has been called one of the 15 most significant examples of residential architecture in the nation.
The original heavy beams, large overhangs, spacious terraces and gardens. carpets, lighting fixtures and furniture are still intact.

Critic says dramatists in orbit'
"The University of Southern California's enterprise in Pollock Hall is bevond the fringe. It is in orbit around the festival. The range of *even programs presented by this group has shaken conventions that have developed over 20 years." critic Allen Wright wrote in The Scotsman, an Edinburgh newspaper, after seeing ♦he drama troupe steal the limelight from most of the official attractions »t this years Edinburgh Festival in Scotland.
USC's School of Performing Arts »ent 44 students, who performed from noon until midnight in a college lecture room. Their repertoire ranged from "Rashomon,” to a musi-cal-dance version of Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poems.

leader's change of image since his first election.
At that time, he said, Wilson sought, quite successfully, to project a “JFK-new-young-man-on-the-move" front
But once elected, lie seemed to switch to a “owner-of-the-estab-lishment” image.
Naturally this political switch, made when Wilson was trying to increase his Parliamentary majority through new elections, did not escape the caustic note of British satirists.
One such columnist, writing a speech he envisioned as fitting for the new. established Wilson, had his paper hero state:
“Now. in conclusion, let us quote that great British Socialist, the Duke of Wellington."
WILSON SHREWDEST In comparison to other British politicians. Dr. Hickman found Wilson the shrewdest and most capable of projecting the corrcct television image.
"But his problem comos in combating the underlying weakness of the British economy.” he said.
“This weakness has not been caused by a particular leader or a particular party, but rather by the reconstruction of an entire society from an essentially non-economi<: one to one that must be economic."
Referring to the problems confronted in setting up the I.R. program. Dr. Hickman said he had placed great hope in securing the use of the London School of Economics Library for his students.
“Upon investigating myself." he said. “I came to the conclusion that the view’ of Doheny is much better from London than from Founder's Hall.”

Budget
By CHUCK ZAREMRA Assistant City Witor
So you want to know why you '•pend $750 a semester for tuition.
Does the $21-million cost for all rurrent campus construction help explain ?
‘ It may not ^ease the pain in any pockelbooks. nut it will at least ease the pains of the familiar cramped and outdated classrooms and buildings on campus.
And that figure does not include anything already completed or still in the planning stages.
EIGHT PROJECTS
What it does include is eight building or remodeling projects currently underway or slated to begin within the next month.
The newest mystery project is the big hole that opened up next to the von KleinSmid Center.
That hole will be filled to overflowing with the new 12-story Gra duate Center for Education and Social Sciences, which will house the entire School of Education and the departments of history, economics, sociology and anthropology.
Designed by Edward Purell Stone, architect of the von KleinSmid Center, the edifice, it is claimed, will be architecturally compatible with its neighbor. Bricks will dominate the exterior of the 12-story structure and a companion two-storv structure.
The two buildings will be joined by an open subterranean area similar to the forum outside the World Af-
IN FORM OF SHIP
Hancock has always been a challenge to the USC student because its maze of halls and rooms are just about impossible to figure out.
It is the only building on campus with an information center in its lobby. This is because the building is constructed in the form of a ship.
Its nucleus is the o I d Hancock house which originally stood on the corner of Vermont and Wilshire but was moved to the present building in 1939 as a, tribute to Allan Hancock, founder of the Hancock Foundation at USC and donator of USC's Velero IV, a marine biology research vessel.
Four looms from that house now stand inside Hancock. They present a curious paradox to the biological research that goes on daily in the foundation.
The reception room contains wall paintings, red velvet chairs and a fireplace commissioned in Rome by Allan Hancock’s Mother, Mrs. Ida Hancock.
The dining room is early Georgian. It has a high ceiling, oriental rugs, carved chests of old brown oak and oak paneled walls.
The library is early Georgian also. The mantle approximates the style of banquet halls in the Warwick Castle.
The music room is decorated in antique ivory and gold with balances
bows to
fairs Library. This plaza will be directly accessible from- above the ground by an outside stairway and will open into surrounding windowles* rlassrooms for audiovisual instruction.
This complex, being constructed at ^ cost of $3,650,000. is scheduled for rompletion in November. 1967. and occupancy by the Spring semester of 1968.
Three projects should be ready for the Spring of 1967.
Vivian Hall of Engineering, one thing tuition won't pay for because it is a gift of the Olin Foundation, will be ready by January’ at a cost of $2,200,000.
The Graduate School of Business Administration is a $3,400,000 project scheduled for completion December 15.
A companion project, the remodeling of Bridge Hall, will be ready Novembeer 15. This $750,000 job will include air conditioning and complete modernization of the building s interior.
LIBRARY ADDITION
The addition to Doheny Library, which is currently causing the di.= appearance of Hoover boulevard, is expected to be finished in January, with the interior remodeling of the College Library planned for completion in six weeks.
Included in the library expansion program is an increase in capacity from 500,000 to 1.200,000 volumes in the main stacks, and 100 carrels in
of damask in the French tradition The music room contains the throne from Maximillian's castle, which was enroute to Hancock's father when Maximillian died.

Male students who receive a 1-A Selective Service classification and who are full-time students should notify their local draft boards within 10 days for possible repeal. Assistant Dean of Men John A. McKinstry said today.
Several full-time students received notification of I-A status last year, and many more students may receive such classification this year. “Reclassification to I-A” cards are available at the Registrar’s Office or in the Office of the Dean of Men.
McKinstry, Selective Service advisor. said several hundred students will lose their 2-S classification. They may ask their draft boards to review their cases for reclassification but must do so within 10 days.
It is equally important that all students, whether reclassified or not,

Xerox copters are also available in thp World Affairs Library in the von KleinSmid Center The Science Library is temporarily located with the World Affairs Library and the Business Administration Library will be located in the Graduate Study Room until the business building is completed.
CENTER CONSTRUCTION And we've saved the best for last —with a little bit of luck, construction will begin Oct. 3 on the long-awaited Student Activities Center, to be located immediately south of the Student Union.
Bids were received Sept. 24 for the project which will include the remodeling of the Commons and Student Union.
With even more luck, it will lv presented to the students as a Christmas present in December. 1967.
Included in the plans is something particularly dear to the hearts of the Daily Trojan staff an elevator in th*» Student Union, whose fourth floor currently houses thr DT's editorial offices.

report their current addresses to their local draft boards. Otherwise, since notifications of reclassification are not forwarded, the 10-day appeal period may lapse before a student is even aware that he has been reclassified.
A I-A full-time student will not normally be inducted during the first semester of his notice, but will be assigned I-SC status, which indicates deferment until the end of the semester or year. This can be given only once.
The Selective Service Qualification Test will be given again in November. More information will be issued well in advance of the test date.
For advisement and further information students may make appointments with Mr. McKinstry in SU 224, extension 6092.
