“Thf way things are going, the only thing that is undoubtedly true, is that things will not be the same,” Dr. Edward Borgers. chairman of the Telecommunications Department, said at his press conference commenting on the President's Sunday address.
On hand to help Dr. Borgers comment upon the present political scene as well as his~ visit to Washington D.C. last week, were three more faculty members Dr. William Caldwell, Dr. Joseph Nyomarky and Dr. Arthur Kooker.
Dr. Borgers who returned last week “more than 100 years ago” adopted a much more theoretical position than Dr. Caldwell and Dr. Nyomarky
When Dr. Kooker, professor ol history, said. “I thought Johnson's speech Sunday night was the best he ever made. I think he definitely means it. You have to remember this guv has had one severe heart attack and I don't think Lady Bird wants him to go through four more years of the same.” Dr. Nyomarky. associate professor of political science,
broke into a broad smile and leaned forward to say:
“Excellent, except it doesn't fit Johnson's personality. It simply doesn't jive with his Alamo complex.” Dr. Nyomarky’s words were barely into the microphone when Dr. Caldwell, associate professor of journalism, started to express a whole new view:
“I thought it was an effective move and likely to get peace talks started.”
But Dr. Nyomarky, undeterred by the fact that Hanoi has responded to the President’s address, criticized the
speech this way:
“If the President was really interested in serious negotiations, I still don't see why he bombed more than 200 miles beyond the 20th Parallel the very next day.”
Dr. Caldwell, who is also a research associate for the Institute on Communist Strategy and Propaganda, immediately responded: “The answer is obvious—we’ve got more than
50,000	GI's over there.”
As the embroilment among the four thickened. Dr. Borgers recalled Johnson’s history of failing to communicate.
He then related that during his Washington trip the President had referred to himself as a bungler at expressing what he wanted to say.
Dr. Nyomarky, though, wasn’t buying any of that inability to communicate line, and said it was a simple case of “wanting to have your cake and eat it too.”
He also expressed great skepticism as to the face-value veracity of the President’s withdrawal from the Presidenial race.
“After all,” he said, “Johnson has now deprived his major opponents, Kennedy and McCarthy, of their major issue.
“It was the only move he could make that would really weaken the Kennedy drive. Also—why now—two days before the Wisconsin Primary where experts were predicting McCarthy would capture up to 60 percent of the Democratic vote.”
4 profs discuss Vietnam
By LIN FARLEY
The drama of these men, sitting around a conference table, seeking to find some order in the chaos of the day, increased as the thread of foreign policy was picked up and carried onto the battlefield of Vietnam.
Dr. Borgers, leaning very heavily on the table now, and straining with the effort to communicate as effectively as possible, threw out the possibility of the war ending.
But Dr. Caldwell drew on history and explained that even if negotiations started tomorrow it wouldn’t mean much because:
“Our recent history of negotiations with the Communists in Korea will show that we had more casualties after negotiations started than before.”
The debate ground on. and then Dr. Kooker put forth the view that “We tried to introduce a democratic system of government to a people who aren’t ready for it.”
But Dr. Nyomarky objected. “Our objective has never been to establish democracy,” he said, “but a govern-
ment friendly to us. Our whole policy has been one of subordinating democracy to that of a friendly allie.
Kooker. taking a long draw on his pipe, essentially agreed and Caldwell did too. But then Kooker added, his point actually had been that our government had sold the war to the American people on those terms.
At this Dr. Nyomarky agreed.
Lest the agreement last too long, however. Dr. Borgers put forth the supposition that the question was now one of deciding our principles and then evaluating events in terms of them.
But Dr. Caldwell said he thought it was more a question of the majority of Vietnamese being just plain apathetic about who governed them.
Dr. Kooker said. “Just suppose they do want to be left alone?"
“Alone yes,” Dr. Nyomarky came back, “but social reform too.” perous and happy.”
And Dr. Borgers asked the final question, “What do we do?”

Election officials sweep up mess
By STAN METZLER Editor
April Fools is long over, and the elections don't look like a joke anymore.
Now they just seem like a mess, a pretty big mess. A mess everybody is trying to clean up.
The ASSC Executive Council took the first sweep at noon yesterday by unanimously passing a set of ruies and procedural recommendations to govern the new primary elections on April 17 and 18.
Late yesterday afternoon the ASSC Board of Inquiry took over the cleaning-up detail by unanimously voting to declare the election held Tuesday invalid, and then chastising the ASSC for doing the same thing Tuesday afternoon.
At the meeting ASSC President Marty Foley formally vetoed the council’s invalidation, not because he “thought the action wrong,” but because he rccognized it was on shaky procedural grounds.
At the noon meeting, the Executive Council established both rules and procedures for the new elections.
Buttons and ribbons already distributed may be worn, and present banners may be re-used, but no new materials may be made or distributed.
Posters may remain on living group walls, but must be removed from the University Avenue parkway, the ASSC Executive Council.”
Candidates may supply the ASSC with four posters, which will be placed by the ASSC near each of the four main-campus polling places.
Polls will be open in front of Bovard Auditorium, between the School of Architecture and Ahmanson Biological Center, in Fagg Park and on the Row from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. A poll will be open at the Medi-
cal School from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. April 17.
Each main-campus poll will have at least four poll watchers and five supervisors. New ballots will be printed, and an IBM sheet listing the names of all students, their class rank and their Social Security number will be located at each polling place.
All election workers will wear identifying badges and no unauthorized persons will be allowed inside the balloting area.
Voter instructions will be printed inside each booth and at the top of every ballot.
Foreign students may vote only at the Bovard polls, where a special IBM run will identify them.
The ASSC will also allow each candidate to prepare one ditto, or give the Student Activities secretary the information for such a ditto, by tomorrow. This ditto will be run off by the Student Activities Office in the YWCA. Candidates for ASSC president and vice-president will be allowed 1,000 such dittos. All other candidates will receive 500. No other campaign literature may be distributed.
The Board of Inquiry sent the council four recommendations:
1.	That the council should familiarize itself with the duties and functions outlined in the Election Code.
2.	That it take steps to insure that the next election fulfills the Election Code regulations.
3.	That it review its recommendations to insure that they are in line with the Election Code.
4.	That it place a constitutional amendment on the ballot as soon as possible to provide for an investigative body to handle election problems. This body should be "clearly separated from any conflict of authority with

With a prayer, a song and a dance 18 people turned in their draft cards yesterday at the Campus Methodist Church.
In a ceremony that laster two hours each of the participants turning in their cards gave testimony in the form of a poem or statement of his motivations.
The ceremony began with aa rally in front of Tommy Trojan led by a man who called himself General Waste-More-Land. Among others the rally was attended by Paul Bloland, dean of men, Bob Boyd, basketball coach, and Alan Johnson, director of foreign students.
Bloland made no comment on the activity but commented that General Waste-More-Land looked younger than another draft protester named General Hershey Bar. The activity was in violation of university rules. David Lang, who assisted in the demonstration, and General Waste-More-Land are not students here.
Waste-More-Land handed out phony draft cards to spectators, danced “the ballet" and quipped, "The difference between LSD and LBJ is that LSD is a drug, LBJ is a dope. I’ve been appointed to the Joint Chief of Staff—I get to go to all the parties and give out free joints.”
Daniel Brandt, a member of SDS and The Resistance, said of Waste-More-Land. “He’s just some idiot that walks around to all the demonstrations. He’s a psycho.”
The group of people who had been congregating in front of Tommy Trojan were then led to the Campus Methodist Church by David Lang, former president of the USC chapter of SDS.
The church was filled with at least 180 people. In the front was a group of guitar players and singers who began the service by having the congregation stand and sing “Blowin’ in the Wind.”
The crowd was mostly composed of young men and women dressed in odd clothing, but there were a few old ladies. One said she has been actively opposing war since 1935 and is a member of the War Resisters League.
A welcome was given by Dr. Travis Kendall, minister at the Methodist Church, after which Marv Davidov gave a talk called “Resistance, Conscience and Joy!”
He cited incidents that had happened to him . . . during a civil rights walk from Canada to Florida, in a Jackson, Miss, jail, protesting the war in Cuba and in China.
Davidov has spent time in the Mississippi State Penitentiary and has worked against war and civil rights since his college days.

FORUM FOR STUDENT AWARENESS
Priest to speak on guerrillas
Father Blase Bonpane of the Maryknoll Fathers will speak Thursday at noon on the “Making of a Guerrilla.” The speech in 133 Founders Hall, will be sponsored by the Forum for Student Awareness.
The guerrillas Father Bonpane will refer to are students at the National University of Guatemala, who became known as “Guerrillas of Peace” through their nonviolent constructive, educational program among illiterate and destitute Indians.
The students were part of an organization known as the Cursillos de Capacitacion, of which Father Bonpane served as national director.
The “Guerrillas of Peace” were working for the establishment of a network of Peasant Leagues in the Guatemalan countryside until mid-December of 1967.
Father Bonpane and other priests and giiters were accused by the government of
Father Blase Bonpane
“plotting an armed revolution” and were expelled from the country as persona non grata.
The student leaders were forced to flee the country to avoid death.
Since his expulsion from Guatemala, Father Bonpane has been active in the improvement of inter-American relations.
Father Bonpane, who has been a priest for 10 years, completed pre-medical studies at USC, and was also a member of the football team and was a light heavyweight boxing champion.
Since his ordination Father Bonpane has served on the National Advisory Board of the Newman Apostolate and has been Regional Superior of the Maryknoll Fathers seven-state Rocky Mountain Region.
He received his Masters Degree in Latin American Studies from Georgetown University and has spoken on national television on the current tensions in the church.

Andreas Papandreou, Greek political leader arrested by a military coup last year and now living in exile, will speak in Bovard Auditorium tomorrow at 10 a.m.
His topic will be “The Military Takeover in Greece — A Problem for the West.” The Great Issues Forum is sponsoring the speech.
Papandreou was given an excellent chance of becoming Prime Minister of Greece following the May, 1967, elections. An army coup prevented the elections from taking place.
Papandreou has been described by Saturday Review magazine as “beyond all doubt the key figure in the civilian politics of the period . . .”
George Papandreou, father of Andreas, is a former Prime Minister of Greece. Together they controlled the Center Union party, but they split over the direction of Greek government.
Newsweek magazine described Andreas as possessing “left-wing, anti-monarchist leanings. ’ George Papandreou supported the right-wing government and the coup that arrested his son.
The coup took place in a confused political atmosphere. Stephen Rousseas, in his recent book on the military takeover, charged that in reality there were two conspiracies to take over the government — one by King Constantine and another (the successful one) by a group of army officers.
Roughly 3,000 prisoners were taken by the junta. Papandreou was released along with some 300 others in December, 1967, in time for Christmas. At this time he went into exile in Paris with his family.
Papandreou is a former U.S. citizen. He left the United States in 1962 to enter into Greek politics.
In 1964 he was elected as a member of Parliament, and appointed as Minister of Economic Coordination. He continued in those positions until the Center Union Party fell in July, 1965.
While in the United States, Papandreou received a Ph.D. from Harvard University where he taught until going to the University of Minnesota as a professor of economics. He later went to the University of California at Berkeley as chairman of the Department of Economics.
Papandreou also worked for Adlai Stevenson as his economic advisor in his campaign for the presidency.
In 1961 he went to the University of Athens as a Fulbright professor of economics. He was then asked to organize and direct the Center of Economic Research and Programming in Greece.
Papandreou has written numerous articles for •uch professional journals as The Economic Journal and The American Economic Review.
Among his books are “Economics as a Science” and “Competition and Its Regulation.”
His December release from prison was achieved by intervening friends, as well as the American Economic Association and the American Association of University Professors.
Papandreou has vowed that if the junta is overthrown, “we shall never put up with a strong king in Greece again.” In February he founded the Panhellenic Liberation Movement, which has been active in Europe, the United States and Canada.
Financial VP to administer fund left by Dr. Mudd
Dr. Carl Franklin, vice-president of financial affairs, is one of the three named to administer the $20-million educational fund established in the will of Dr. Seeley Mudd. who died March 10.
Dr. Franklin w’ill be joined by Robert Fisher, former financial vice-president of USC, and Luther Anderson, an investment specialist.
Dr. Mudd. a former member of the Board of Trustees, stipulated that the funds be allocated to leading private universities in the United States for the construction of classroom and laboratory buildings.
The total assets of the fund must be allocated by the trustees within a 10-year period. Each grantee institution will be limited to one building, which must be named in honor of Dr. Mudd.
Earlier provisions of his will allowed for the university to receive the 15-acre family home in San Marino upon the death of his wife, provided it is used as a residence for the university chancellor.
During his life Dr. Mudd made gifts to many private colleges and universities including USC. Stanford. Cal Tech. Columbia. Harvard and Pomona college.
“Dr. Mudd was a close personal friend and a generous donor to private higher education." Dr. Franklin said yesterday.
Dr. Franklin’s advanced degrees represent Stanford, Harvard. Columbia and Yale Universities. He served on the staff of Harvard. Ohio State, Virginia and Oklahoma Universities before joining the law faculty here in 1953.
He held the honorary chair of international law at the Naval War College in 1959-60 and served as president of the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities from 1964 to 1966.
