New commuter group to meet, plan activities
USC Commuter Students, a newly-formed group, will discuss ideas for gaining needed student support, special services and social activities for commuters at a first meeting Dec. 6.
At present the two main functions of the organization will be to obtain special services for commuters and to create a lobby within the university for the interests of commuters.
Services would include a once-a-week luncheon for commuters, dances and social activities in outlying areas where students live, and participation in the summer and fall orientation programs. During orientation, commuters would be assigned to new commuting students to orient them to the university and answer any questions that they might have.
Commuters also seek the use of facilities such as lounges where the commuter could study or relax. Such a service would alleviate the hubbub of the grill where commuters often linger even after they have finished eating.
Joe Flanagan and Steve Zimmerman, both commuters, have even suggested having dormitory rooms available for rent by commuters who wish to remain on campus for a night to study for a test.
“Students don't have to be able to attend meetings to be a member. We just need as many commuters as possible so that we can make our voices heard.” said Flanagan.
The meeting will be in Student Activities Center 204.
Deadline is Monday for preregistration envelopes
The last day to turn in in envelopes requesting early registration materials is Monday.
Registrar William E. Hall said students may pick up and return envelopes at either the Registrar's Office or at a table set up near Tommy Trojan.
Registration packets will be mailed to students no later than Dec.
6.
H cards will be available from the various departments beginning Dec. 11.
Completed packets will be accepted by the registrar beginning Dec. 13. and the last day to return completed packets is Jan. 4.
The deadline to drop a course with a grade of W has been extended to Wednesday.
YAF lashes programs board; may sue USC

small-claims court to get the fee back.
“I think it’s obvious that the administration is trying to ram this down the students’ throat.” he said. “The administrators have intended all along to set up a group of people to be their puppets. They realize they can manipulate the board without any threat to their jobs.”
Lee Blackman, one of the designers of the new board and a former ASSC vice-president, said that the $4.50 programming fee is used to sustain more than just student government.
“Most students don’t know that the programming fee is used for programs other than student government,” said Blackman. “That fee also goes to support programs like the Bitter Ashtray, the Neophyte coffeehouse, the Experimental College program, the noon concerts, and the speaker programs.
“My feeling is that we should try this board for a year and if it flops then we should drop it and student government altogether. The programming side of the ASSC was never really allowed to stand on its own in the past and now is the chance to really see what it can do.”
Daniel Nowak, acting vice-president for student affairs, was unavailable for comment on the issues.

The interim student programming board was criticized by a spokesman for the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), who said his group may sue the university for continuing to charge the ASSC fees.
YAF contends that only the ASSC Constitution, suspended last spring, gave the university the authority to charge a $4.50 student programming fee.
“In 1967 the ASSC had a
general election in which the students voted 1.200 to 900 to have a $4.50 programming fee per semester,” said Jim Lacy, chairman of YAF. “But the ASSC died last May because no new officers were allowed to be elected, and so the constitution was suspended. Since the programming fee was part of the constitution, it should have been suspended too, but the university continued to charge it this semester.
“We are looking into the possibility of taking the university to
University charges 4 in halftime scuffle
Graham, president of Trojan Knights, has apologized to the UCLA band.
The incident occured in view of a national television audience as the band director attempted to move a large papier-mache representation of a Trojan head from the path ofthe UCLA band.
He was jumped by one of the unidentified students. Some shoving occurred, and a melee developed.
Emerich said that although the four students are members of a campus service organization, no conspiracy against UCLA halftime activities is suspected.
The final song performed by the UCLA band was disrupted because of the incident.
The case will be heard by the University Judicial Council sometime in the next two or three weeks.
Also scheduled before the council are several cases. Included are the ROTC takeover case, a hearing on the theft of
