Womens’ Information Center to open today
The Women’s Information Center, an outcome of the library committee to support the Subcommittee on Administration of the Commission on the Status of Women, will open today in College Library.
The center will function as a collection of information on subjects that are relevant to women on campus. Some of the topics include birth control, equal rights for women, gynecology, minority women and feminine humor.
Most of the material consists of articles from magazines and newspapers, pamphlets, and paperback books all acquired through individual contribution.
The center will also include information of the Affirmative Action Program atthis and other universities as well as the activities of the controversial
Commission on the Status of Women.
The center plans to set up and maintain a bulletin board to fea-ture the announcements of speakers, dates of meetings, and other events of interest to faculty, staff and student women. The board will be set up in about a month.
The Women’s Information Committee is a result of a request by Roy L. Kidman, head university librarian to form a committee to give library support to the Commission on the Status of Women.
Harkins hopes that through the center more women will be better informed on the various university activities to improve the status of women.
There is a drop box in College Library for anyone wishing to contribute articles, clippings or used paperbacks.
State law enforcement agencies join in search for missing coed
BULLETIN A body tentatively identified as that of Sue Schuler was found last night in El Centro, according to a detective in the homicide division of the L.A. County Sheriffs Department. Death was by gunshot and the body was somewhat disfigured, he said, so that the early identification was made by general appearances, clothing and jewelry matchups.

Sue Schuler, a senior education major, is still missing despite efforts of the Los Angeles County Sheriffs’ Dept, and the California Highway Patrol to locate her.
The 21-year-old coed was last seen leaving her parents’ home in Ladera Heights at 6 p.m. Sunday. She had been expected to return to her campus apartment.
All sheriffs’ departments in the state and the California Highway Patrol are on the lookout for her car. a 1969 Cougar with license plate ZNX 643, said Herb Cass, a deputy with the Missing Persons Detail of the sheriff’s department.
Cass said he has also retraced the eight-mile route from Ladera Heights to USC, checked hospitals, coroners and jails, but has found no clues as to the coed’s whereabouts.
“There is nothing to indicate there has been foul play, he said. “Because we haven’t found hide nor hair of the car this indicates she still has the car. Now. if we had found the car we might have reason to believe something had happened.
“In other words, no news is good news.”
Cass said 100 people a month are reported missing to his detail, but that 95 are back home within several days.
When a person returns depends on his or her frame of mind. Cass added. “All we can do is guess at Sue’s frame of mind, if. indeed, she did go of her own volition.”
Information requested Cass asked anyone having knowledge of Schuler’s whereabouts to contact him at 626-9511, extension 82109. “If she’s hiding somewhere we won’t give her away,” he said. “All we want to do is ascertain if she’s alive and well.”
Sharon Schuler, the coed's sis-teranda junior math major.said her sister had felt some pressure from her student teaching at Amistoy Elementary School in Gardena, coupled with the pres-
Modern dance recital
The Forum for Student Awareness is sponsoring a modern dance performance by Kres Mersky. actress, today at noon in Hancock Auditorium.
Mersky will present her interpretation of Isadora Duncan, an innovator of modern dance. Admission is free.
Aspokesman for the Forum for Student Awareness said
the performance by Mersky is unique, based on the critical acclaim it has won throughout the Southern California
area.
“The celebrated exotic life of Isadora had a profound influence on her time and to this day remains a source of inspiration to all.’’ the spokesman said.
sure a senior might feel with graduation and a job around the corner.
“But Sue was not that super-worried about getting a job,” said Joanne Sanders. Schuler’s roommate and long-time friend and a senior majoring in business. “She’s been getting good ratings from her supervisor and teacher.
“She seems to be adjusted to everything. She had to have flipped if she left.”
The possibility that Sue Schuler left with her boyfriend was dismissed by her sister, who said: “Sue doesn’t have a steady boyfriend. All her male friends have been contacted and they're looking for her too.”
“Sue left home Sunday in a very normal situation—better circumstances than normal.” said Sharon Schuler. She said her sister had a matter to discuss with her mother but that the matter was happily resolved.
Earlier in the day. the coed attended a bridal shower for a
friend. MaryTolman. managerof the Women's Complex and another participant in the shower said she appear to be very happy. “We had a really good afternoon,” she said.
Sharon Schuler said it was not in her sister’s nature to keep frustrations hidden.
“Sue is very outgoing, bubbly,” she said. “She speaks her mind, she’s not quiet. If there’s something wrongshe’ll explode. She’s not that close to the family, but if she needed help she would go to Mom. Dad or Grandmother.
“You can't help but have thoughts in your head (that something may have happened to Sue) considering the neighborhood.”
Karen Ross, a friend of Sue Schuler and a senior majoring in special education, concurred. “Sue is a very responsible, punctual person—well-balanced. I don’t think she would run away.
"I think something has happened to her.”
Final nominations to be made for program board
Final nominations for the nine appointed positions on the new programming board will be announced today.
Nominees will be chosen from the group of students—two or three for each of the nine positions—recommended early Tuesday by a selection committee.
The appointments will be formally made by James Appleton, the newly-arrived vice-president for student affairs. He is expected, however. to follow the recommendations of his assistant vice-president. Daniel Nowak, who served as acting vice-president until Appleton’s arrival Friday.
The names of those who were recommended by the selection committee would not be released. Nowak said.
“I feel that it would not be appropriate at this time.” he said.
The programming board, which will consist of the nine appointed members as well as three ex-officio members, will be charged with the duty of administering existing ASSC-originated programs and instigating new ones.
Campus YAF granted office facilities in Student Union
The campus chapter of the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) now has a home.
YAF. the nation’s largest conservative youth organization, has recently been granted an office by the Student Union Board, the group responsible for the allocation of student office space in the Student Union building. The YAF will occupy room 313C.
“It is about time that the many students who have shown interest in YAF projects and programs now have an office from which to operate.” said Jim Lacy, chairman of the chapter. “I think it shows that YAF is a strong and active force at USC.”
The process of getting an office in the Student Union starts with the filing of the required application with the Student Union Board, a group currently comprised of five students. including an independent representative and one student from each class level, and Jim Gross, director of the Student Activities Office.
At the beginning of each school year, the board interviews the applying groups and distributes the available office space to the groups which
demonstrate the greatest need for its use and which appropriately satisfy the requirements —that the group have both on and off-campus activities, that it not be involved in any politically subversive activities, and that it have a membership large enough to warrant an office.
The YAF office will serve as a coordination center for all YAF projects on campus, which include work in the field of police-community relations, a student ombudsman program and the distribution of materials about off-campus housing to students.
