Ignorance, stupidity called cause of rape
By JO ELLEN KRUMM
Most rapes are brought about by stupidity and ignorance, Capt. Louis Sunyich of the Los Angeles Police Denartment said in Harris Lounge last evening.
Capt. Sunyich discussed the causes of rape and ways to prevent it before an audience of approximate'}' 23 women and four men.
Generally, rapes do not occur in the daytime, in well-lit areas, on well-traveled streets, or if a girl is accompanied by someone, especially a man.
He warned the girls not to put themselves in positions where they could easily be accosted. “Don’t go out at night if you don't have to; drive with your car doors locked.”
Girls who live in apartments
Tentative yell squad chosen for basketball
The 17 members of the new tentative yell squad have been selected after being interviewed last Monday and Wednesday. Four members of the new squad will cheer at the opening basketball game tonight with Idaho.
The 17 cheerleaders include present squad members Dean Bower. Jim Brown, Bill Caldwell, Rusty Jordan, Pat Larkin and Greg Post.
The rest of those chosen from the group of 35 candidates are Rollin Foss, Terry Hackett, Jim Halferty, Russ Kidder, Duane McKay, Vern Olson, Frank Reina Jr.. Jack Reynolds, Dan Scott and Tom Rhoads.
The squad will rotate during basketball season. Hackett. Halferty, Jordan, and Reina will be at the game tonight. Tomorrow, when the team meets Loyola, Brown, Jordan, Olson, and Rhoads will be leading the cheering.
The cheerleaoers for the '68 football season will be selected from the tentative yell squad after basketball season is over.
This year a new procedure is being followed in the selection of yell leaders, in that they are chosen before basketball season. In previous years, new leaders were chosen in the spring and began cheering during football season.
should never unlock their doors to strangers, he said, they should also choose an apartment building without hidden corners'where a rapist might await their return.
If a woman does get accosted by a potential rapist, she should resist with all her heart, he said. “Women often fail in repelling an aftacker because they only resist half-way,” he explained. “Violence does not come naturally to a woman, but in these instances it is generally necessary.
“Most men cannot stand a screaming woman. If you get the least bit scared when a man approaches you, scream.”
“If that doesn’t work, stick a pencil in his eye. bite off his ear. kick him in the groin, right between the legs.
“Make that more demanding on him than his desire to rape you.”
Capt. Sunyich advocated that girls develop some sort of plan in case someone does try to attack. The plan should be flexible, including second-arv tactics in case the primary ones fail.
“You have a much better chance to cone with anything when you expect it."
The situation is different when the atacker is armed.
“Don't fight a gun,” he said. He added that a gun was not a common weapon of rapists and that he person-allv knows of no situation where a rapist actually used a knife.
If a man does rape a woman, or threaten to. she should remember what happens and what he looks like. Her information is important in capturing and convicting the offender. Little details, peculiarities in appearance. voice, talk and language, are valuable.
He recommended that girls carry some weapon, any legal metal pointed object like a knife, scissors, hatpin, leter opener, or nail file. A gun is not a legal weapon however.
Even with a weapon, a girl must be determined to resist her attacker. She has to mean business, has to want to hurt him and then hurt him.
“Think! When you drive, think; when you walk, think!” he urged.

“WOZZECK" WILL PREMIER IN BOVARD SATURDAY Nina Hinson, left, and Robert Hirtzel star in German opera
Operatic murder story to open Saturday night
Tickets are now available at the Student Ticket Office for Alban Berg’s atonal opera, “Wozzeck,” which will open Saturday night in Bovard Auditorium. Staged by the USC Opera Theater, the opera is based on the play of the same name by Georges Buchner.	^ m__
Starring in the production will be Robert Hirtzel, Jr. as Wozzeck. With him will be Rudy Ye jar as the drum major. Timothy Allspach as Andres, Rafael Enriquez as the captain, Eric Thomas as the doctor and Nina Hinson as Marie.
Set in 19th century Germany, it tells the story of a soldier, Franz Wozzeck who is driven by “inner voices” to murder his mistress.
Emerging from the German expressionist movement of the early 1900s, “Wozzeck" is a consciously ugly musical description of a decadent period of time, and of a man raked over by society on every level.
Other cast members are Gary Fisher as the first apprentice. Roger Winell as the second apprentice, James Door as the fool, Roberta Wain as Margaret and Robin Maguire as the child.
Scheduled to run again Dec. 8 and 10, the opera is directed by Hans L. Beer and is being staged by Walter Ducloux under the patronage of Dr. Frederick Waller, the Consul General of Austria.

Seeking a better understanding of each other's needs, 100 students and faculty will spend the weekend at the Idyllwild campus on San Jacinto Mountain with a packed schedule of talks, discussions and reports designed to increase understanding and enhance communication.
The group, under the auspices of the Danforth Foundation-sponsored Project FASTEN, will be led by Dr. Sims Carter in its two - fo’d examination of “Student Needs and f aculty Responses, and Faculty Needs and Student Responses."
The conference is part of Project FASTEN’s four-year study of the USC environment, which will be concluded this year. The project has made periodic use of the Idyllwild conferences since its inception in 1964.
This weekend’s conference will begin with a registration at 1 p.m. today. This evening will also include a talk by Dr. Stephen Abrahamson, professor of education, and a film on the new medical computer-manne-quin, Sim I.
Saturday morning and afternoon will each be devoted to one segment of the conference topic. Each side will begin with a panel discussion, after which the group will break into smaller units led by a faculty member and recorded by a student.
Sunday, the students will report on their discussions in a general session before lunch.
Saturday night will be primarily devoted to a faculty open house, in which the faculty, provided with refreshments by the Danforth Foundation, will be in their living quarters for students to drop by and talk to for as long as they wish.
This weekend's conference, unlike those of the past, will include not only the USC students and faculty,

Solutions to urban problems given
By MELINDA TONKS News Editor
The short-term solution to transportation and air-pollution problems in the city are smog-control devices on cars and people living closer to their work, an urban specialist told 3tudent economists yesterday.
“But as a long-term project, corridors should be made, somewhat like the spokes of a wheel," Dr. John Nie-dorcorn, assistant professor of economics and urban and regional planning. explained.
“Business would be located along the corridors, with people living in between the spokes.
“By giving up the intemal-com-bustion engine car for either battery or electric-powered cars, we can help
to eliminate smog, though, of course, the speed and long-distance capabilities are not the same.”
Dr. Niedercorn, who spoke before Omicron Delta Epsilon, economics honorary, on the problem facing America’s urban areas, said the shortterm solution could be accomplished rather easily.
“We could build a clean and speedy mass-transit system or charge money for the use of freeways during peak traffic hours," he said.
These solutions should be effected as soon as possible, he said, because of the rapid growth of urban areas.
“In our macro - location type of society, there has been the growth of
Holiday burglaries, thefts major crimes on campus
By JIM STRAIT
Theft and burglary are once again the major crimes in and around campus this week.
Last Sunday, Phyllis Schneider returned from her Thanksgiving vacation to find out that the Pi Phi house did not open until later that evening.
She decided that the Art Annex barracks would be a nice place to wait.
That was an unfortunate choice. While her Chevrolet was parked on McClintock Street between 36th and 37th. someone broke into her car and took $625 worth of clothes, valuables and money. Miss Schneider said she couldn’t put anything in the trunk because she was also bringing back some paintings and they were still wet.
On that same day, Tim Hurtz had his $900 horn, musical variety, stolen from his locker on campus.
Also on Sunday, Linda Yu, 1018 W. 34th St., had a typewriter, valued at $158, stolen from her apartment. The burglar pried the screen off an open kitchen window to make his entry.
The only auto-tape player reported stolen during
the past ten days was taken the Wednesday before Thanksgiving from Gregg Gobel, the son of comedian George Gobel, of 1218 W. 29th St. His stereo tape machine along with six tapes was valued at $180.
On Nov. 22, Sheridan Cranmer left his briefcase sitting in the hallway outside his apartment, and when he returned his briefcase was gone along with the textbooks and the U. S. Air Force check that were inside.
A continuing problem on campus has been people not connected with the university loitering on campus. Victor Sargent, head of the campus police, feels that these loiterers were responsible for a large part of the on-campus thefts.
During the Watts riot, the campus police force was strengthened in the evening and night hours and a policy of questioning all suspicious persons was initiated. It appears to have paid off.
Sargent said that during the last six or seven months, people who had no business on campus seemed to get the idea, and the problem has been reduced considerably.
a few large metropolitan areas,” he explained.
“The areas between Boston and New York. Pittsburgh and Milwaukee, and along the West Coast are examples of this. And as these areas become more concentrated, traffic and air pollution will increase.
Dr. Niedercorn said the invention of the intemal-combustion engine helped create the urban snrawl, especially after World War II and the demand for more room.
“Along with the movement of people, there was a movement of business. which once centered in the downtown district,” he said.
“But with the suburbs and cars, suburban shopping centers were founded to be more profitable.
“I feel downtown Los Angeles is finished as a center of retailing. But some types of employment still remain, including governmental jobs, some manufacturing, and business and professional services, along with L.A.’s entertainment centers.”
Dr. Niedercorn said Los Angeles would not have such a serious traffic problem if people lived nearer to their work. With freeways, they can live 25 to 35 miles away.
“Four problems increase with the amount of traffic: loss of time, more auto accidents, greater psychological stress anti air pollution,” he explained.
“With greater population, there is a greater number of automobiles. Also more miles can be covered per auto, almost 60 percent more than 10 to 15 years ago.
“The supply of autos creates a demand fore more freeways. As a freeway is built, land alongside is opened to housing developments. People move farther out and feel, since there is a freeway, they can get to work faster. Sooner or later, a traffic problem arises.”
Air pollution is another problem that has appeared since the 1940s.
“Smog can be detrimental to
health for. along with smoking, it can be a cause of lung cancer.
“E1 e c t r i c power plants emit poisonous sulfur dioxide into the air. But by far the greatest contributors in Los Angeles are jets (three to five percent) and motor vehicles."
Dr. Niedercorn said.
“Cars emit hydrocarbons, oil that is not fully burned and is the cause for burning one’s eyes; carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide which over a period of time may have severe repercussions upon climate and agriculture. ozone, oxides of nitrogen, which contributes to smog’s brown color; and lead.
“Lead, which is highly poisonous, was introduced into gasoline about 40 years ago and scientists now feel that Los Angeles is about half way to the minimum danger level.”
ONLY 1,800 REMAIN
but also representatives from UCLA, Stanford, San Diego State and Loyola University.
Dr. Carter said Project FASTEN, which attempts “to view the campus from the outside, with 20-20 vision,” operates on several axioms.
One of the most important of these is his belief that a liberal education is less the product of the curriculum than of faculty and students.
One of the FASTEN goals, therefore, is to uncover the faculty who not only have talent but who are also willing to invest that talent in other people—their students.
Project FASTEN will hold its final conference next spring, probably on some topic related to defining the goals of the university.
That conference, Dr. Carter said, will include not only students and faculty, but hopefully also a number of administrators and members of the Board of Trustees.
But for this semester, this weekend’s conference is the main concern.
The needs to be examined vary from intellectual activity and academic freedom to a sense of values and a search for identity.
The responses are yet unknown, lying buried in a lack of communication waiting to be released—perhaps this weekend at Idyllwild.
Debate meet to draw 30 college teams
The Pacific Southwestern Collegiate Forensic Association Fall Championships. in which approximately 30 schools will compete, will be held on campus today and tomorrow.
John Kenner, assistant debate coach, is directing the tournament.
Headquarters for the competition will be in Hancock Auditorium and the events will take place throughout the campus.
The four USC teams in the senior division will consist of Ed Hurst and Stephen Moors, Chet Actis and Bill Anderson, Roa Jones and Ralph Lippman, and Charles Higgin and Ed Grott.
The members of the two junior USC teams are Rene Aiu and Gay Moss, Robert Slaby and Kathy Bell.
Kenner will coach both teams.
USC placed first in two events at the Western States Invitational Speech Tournament held at Sacramento State College last Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Bert Rush and Ron Gordon won the Senior Men s Traditional.
Two freshmen teams, composed of Lee Pearce and Chuck McHenry, and Keith Dodds and Jim Stein, tied for first place in the Senior Men's Cross Examination Debate.
Rush and Gordon will compete in the Air Force National Invitational Dsbate Tournament at the Air Force Academy this weekend. Only 32 teams throughout the nation have been invited.
