A wild scoring splurge of 185 consecutive points spelled success for USC and carried four Trojan scholars to their second straight win on the GE College Bowl Sunday night.
By virtue of the 2i)5 to 2t>0 win over City College of New York, USC gained another $3,000 scholarship grant and a chance to increase its winnings this Sunday against St. John's University.
The match will be aired locally at 6 p.m. on Channel 4.
The USC team of Richard Hilton, captain. Marcia Hastie, Barcley Edmundson. and Gary Cohm. started fast against CCNY and built up an insurmountable margin.
CCNY took the lead first with two correct answers to USC's one. The Eastern scholars increased their lead to 80 to 45 .
USC bounced light back, however, and took the lead 85 to 80. CCNY never again came close to regaining the lead.
The Trojan team played cooly and calmly and held a 115 to 80 lead at halftime.
After the break, USC went back to work and scored 155 more points without an answer from CCNY. The scoreboard read, USC 270 and CCNY 80.
CCNY dominated the rest of the action, scoring ISO points to USC's 15, but the comeback fell short as the final whistle sounded.
The victory left USC with a season record of two wins and no losses. It also pushed the Trojans over the .500 mark with a total record of 2-1. In 1959. the first year of the quiz show. USC was defeated by a team from Barnard College.
Dr. James McBath, chairman of the Speech Department and coach of the team, called the victory satisfying, but added that “the first victory (over Furman University last week) was incomparable.
“The Furman team was a successful champion. It was fresh off victories over two top schools.”
He said the Furman scholars were stronger as a team, but that the students from CCNY were stronger individually.
“When CCNY started its comeback, the people in the audience could see that it would fall short. Time was running out very quickly, so things weren't as bad as they looked," Dr. McBath said.
“CCNY was supremely confident. It was a brilliant team and we were very happy to defeat them. ’
After the match, the scholars reviewed the show, looking for ways to improve.
“We still think we can take more time in consultation on the bonus questions. We need to tap the collective resources of the team,” McBath said.
He explained that the toss-up question requires individual recall and immediate reaction, whereas the bonus question requires team effort.
Dr. McBath credited the latest victory partly on luck.
“Success goes in streaks. We simply had an excellent series of questions,” he said.
The USC scholars will leave again tomorrow night for New York, where they will visit several small museums before the Sunday match.
On the topic of thus week's opponent, St. John's. McBath said, “All we know is that it is an academically strong Catholic liberal arts college.” It is located in Collegeville. Minn.
He also pointed out that the winner of this week's contest will meet scholars from Syracuse University on March 17.
If USC survives this Sunday’s contest and continues to win. it will be retired as an undefeated champion after five appearances on the show. With that honor would go an additional $3,000 grant, and consequently, a total winning sum of $18,000.
USC scholars have won $6,000 so far.
Dr. McBath was optimistic over the chances of the Trojan team continuing its winning ways.

ASSC candidate Rafferty
states presidential aims
Gary Rafferty stood on a platform of student participation and involvement yesterday as he became the first candidate to officially announce for the ASSC presidency.
“If wre are ever to have a participating campus,” the junior economics major told the Daily Trojan, “the many imaginative and creative programs in all phases of campus life need to be taken out into the student community.
“If elected. I would do this.”
Rafferty’s four major points include:
1. Neighborhood Relations Program, a proposal for “the students of USC to accept a commitment to help
the people of our neighborhood.”
2.	Focus: 21st Century, a forum of leading men focusing on what students can expect from their field through the year 2000.
3.	First Voters’ Convocations, a program to bring major parties’ candidates to address the campus this fall, as was done during the 1960 election.
4.	America Brother Program, a plan to establish a relationship between each new foreign student and an American student, “to provide an exchange of viewpoints with an accompanying cultural enrichment for both students.”

Doll napalmed in protest
By MIKE PARFIT City Editor
A student gingerly opened a jar of homemade napalm and started to smear the pink, sticky substance onto a plastic doll w'hich was nailed to a tin foil-covered cross. As he struck a match and set fire to the doll several men with newsreel cameras propped on their shoulders and tape recorders strapped to their belts moved in to record the moment of protest.
The doll, wrhich quickly burned into a black, misshapen mass, was the
victim of a demonstration against napalm staged yesterday by members of Students for a Democratic Society. The protest was held in conjunction with a visit to the campus of Dow Chemical Co.. recruiters. Dow manufactures all napalm used in the Vietnam war.
“We are not demonstrating specifically against Dow,” said John Sack, one of the organizers of the demonstration. “It’s not significant who is making it. We want to indict the American people for allowing napalm
John Sack (left) is interviewed during napalm protest
to be made and allowing the government to use it.”
The newsmen, who had been telephoned the night before by members of the protesting group, focused their cameras alternately on the flaming doll, on a sign reading “I am a human and nothing can be of indifference to me,” on Sack and his fellow demonstrators and on the curious faces of the bystanders.
“This is a symbolic thing,” Sack said. “That’s why we didn’t make speeches or hand out pamphlets or anything. We felt that this was a symbolic act.”
Several men in Air Force ROTC uniforms passed the demonstration and paused for a moment to watch.
An older man stopped and said, vehemently. “I don’t see how you can respect the views of people who look like that.”
A woman standing in the back of the crowd stood on tiptoe to look at the black, smoking remains of the doll and said to her companion, “Nobody’s got the guts to bum themselves.”
“It’s very easy to make,” said one of the demonstrators. “You just mix gas and polyethylene.”
On the other side of the campus, in Bruce Hall, the Dow Co. recruiters, W. L. Hendershot and Glenn Allen, were solidly booked up talking to prospective employees.
“Dow does not object to demonstrations,” Allen said. “One of the great things about this country is that people can demonstrate to show their feelings. The problems occur when they try to interfere with the channels of normal communication.”
Forrest N. Shumway, a Los Angeles oil company executive, has been elected to the Board of Trustees. His election brings the number of trustees to 30.

Kappa and chairman of the Helen of Troy Committee for the past two years, said he hoped his programs would initiate “direct contact with large numbers of students.
“This campus needs the programs that I’m presenting, and I think I’ll be able to make this into a participating campus.”
Rafferty's Neighborhood Relations Program, the most elaborately outlined of his four proposals, calls for USC students to help residents of the surrounding areas “seize every opportunity to enter the mainstream of modern American life, and where these opportunities do not exist, to create them.”
The program would have six specific goals for improving the area, which would match elementary school boundaries betwreen Adams Boulevard. Alameda Street. Florence Avenue and Western Boulevard.
1.	Expand existing programs, such as Troy Camp and the Tutorial Project, to support their potential for expansion.
2.	Organize sports leagues, scout: ing, 4-H and business fund-raising for youth activities.

5.	Help the area’s residents organize service groups and neighborhood improvement committees.

ASSC Council resets date for April election
With ASSC elections only three and one half weeks away, the ASSC Executive Council voted yesterday to change the dates originally set by the Elections Commission, feeling that not enough time was allotted between the primary ballot and final election.
The decision for the rescheduling of the primary, wiiich was set for April 1 and 2, came at the suggestion of Bob Lutz, vice-president for university affairs. He said that one day was not enough time for a candidate to regroup forces and support for a run-off ballot.
The final election is scheduled for April 4 and 5. It will be up to Ray Cochard, election commissioner, to reschedule the preliminary ballot.
In conjunction with upcoming campaigns, two amendments to the Elections Code were considered by the council. The first would give the elections commissioner the power to set the length of the official campaign period, depending on the circumstances of the particular election.
“A week is long enough for a campaign,” Shelley Linderman, senior class representative, said. “If you make it any longer than that, you increase the costs, especially of publicity. The more money a candidate has, the more publicity he is able to obtain. and the more likely he is to win. We ought to limit the campaign period to a week.”
“I disagree,” Norm Wilky, vice-president for student activities, said. “An extra three days wouldn’t necessarily be spent putting up posters. The time can be spent talking to people in areas a candidate might otherwise not be able to cover.”
Marty Foley, ASSC president, agreed.
“A campaign period of a week would be grossly limiting the candidates.” he said.
The second amendment would require that at least two polling places be established for an election, the first of which must be located in front of Bovard Auditorium and by the Medical School.
The amendments passed with only Linderman voting no.
Procedures for the coming election were reviewed.
There will be 10 polling places located in front of the Engineering School, Architecture, between the Law and Business Schools, in front of the School of Dentistry and Medicine. in all the dormitories, in front of Bovard Auditorium and on the Row, probably in front of the International House.
Each table will have a list of all students. Voting will be on IBM card ballots. Those wishing to vote need only present their identification cards.
