PROBLEMS OF AFFILIATION
Local band to seek USC support
By ROGER SMITH
William Shakespeare said, “What's in a name ...”
Jack Poster says, ‘‘Everything/’
Poster, director and founder of a group now known as the Stage Band, is actually aware that his group’s name lacks three big letters — USC.
Those three letters mean a lot to university-oriented groups, Poster says. Specifically, they mean money, support, sponsorship, entrance in collegiate festivals and quite possibly, the difference between success and failure.
“We have been trying to become affiliated with the university since Oct. 1.” Poster notes. “But so far. we haven't met with much success."
As outlined in the Student Activities Planning Guide, affiliation is not an unnecessarily complicated procedure. Yet Poster and his group- seem to have become entangled in a web of noncommunication and indecision as to which of two courses would be the best way to obtain the name “Trojan" and the accompanying money.
On Oct. 1. Poster and some 21 other musicians got together with the idea of forming a “new" type of band within the School of Music. The concept of such a band was not new. Attempts had been made to start a jazz band for the past six years. Each attempt had failed, however, because of lack of interest and lack of money.
The Stage Band felt it had the interest. All it lacked was money, for music and scores.
Poster soon found out that money is synonymous with affiliation. He went to the School of Music for help, but because of a budget that was drawn up a year in advance, no money was available there.
Poster then went to the ASSC. in hopes of obtaining the necessary funds to keep his band going.
Norm Wilky, ASSC vice-president of student activities, said Poster came to the ASSC Executive Council with a deal in mind.
“He said the band would perform gratis for the ASSC on several occasions if the ASSC could come up with some money to finance the band.” Wilky says.
The council liked the idea, and referred it to Wilky’s sub-committee,
he said.
Both Poster and Wilky knew that affiliation was necessary before the band could get any money and Poster indicated that the band was in the process of becoming affiliated.
Affiliation proc?dure includes forming a constitution, election of officers, obtaining a faculty sponsor and ultimately, approval of the dean of students.
Poster wanted around $200, Wilky said. But Wilky says he hasn’t heard from Poster since the Executive Council meeting and nothing can be done until Poa'ter explains his plans to the sub-committee.
Poster, conversely, indicates that Wilky has not returned any of his telephone calls.
As of now. the Stage Band is practicing several times a month in Booth Hall with the permission of the School of Music. Ronald Broadwell, Trojan Marching Band director, has agreed to sponsor the stage band.
“We are giving up a few Redcoat Band (second semester marching band) rehearsals for the stage band. There is no real conflict because quite a few Redcoat Band members are in the stage band,” Broadwell notes.
The School of Music is interested in making the Stage Band part of its curriculum, Broadwell said, but only after a trial period.

Government officials study urban problems
FREE ADMISSION
Christmas convocation to be given tomorrow
The federal government is sending its officials back to school in an effort to learn the needs and problems confronting the nation's cities.
Dr. David Mars, associate professor of public administration, said the purpose of the program is to “provide a rich and broadening intellectual experience, greater awareness of the nature of local government institutions and processes and a tolerant attitude toward cities and their problems.”
Seven federal government officials have enrolled at USC to begin a year-long program of continuing education sponsored jointly by USC and the National Institute of Public Affairs. The program is one of eight similar NIPA - sponsored projects in the U.S.
“Southern California, with its
numerous municipalities and jurisdictions, is an ideal location to get a first-hand look at the needs and problems of local government.” Dr. Mars said.
The key course will be a seminar in intergovernmental relations. Six representatives of local government in the Los Angeles area will participate.
In addition, the officials participating in the program, who are chosen on the basis of accomplishment and promise, will take courses in the fields of urban and regional planning, economics, sociology and public administration.
Extra-academic activities, including conferences with city officials, attendance at council and other local governmental bodies’ meetings, and visits to academic research firms are also planned.
The University Christmas Convocation will be presented at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in Bovard.
The convocation will include Christmas music by the University Concert Choir, the Trojan Chorale, and the USC Chamber Singers, and a short message and prayer by Dr. John Cantelon, university chaplain.
The convocation is free, although invitations to the traditional event have been sent to alumni.
A reception will follow the program in Town and Gown Foyer.
A tradition is being broken this year, however, in that Dr. Frank Baxter, professor emeritus of English, will not speak at the Christmas convocation as in the past.
Dr. Baxter had reviewed descriptions of Christmas in English literature at every Christmas Convocation since they were initiated in 1958.
The University Concert Ohoir, conducted by James Vail, will sing “Ver-bum caro factum est,” “admirabile commercium,” “Lirum lirum,” “As on the Night Before that Blessed Morn,” “The Holly and the Ivy,” “Infant Holy,” “Blessed by that Maid Mary,” “Singet frisch und Wohlgemuth” and “Shepherds’ Christmas Songs.”
O.J. INTERVIEW — READ IT IN DT
O. J. Simpson, the man from CCSF, has carried the Trojans to an AAWU championship and the national championship. Now he tries to carry them to a Rose Bowl win over Indiana.
How does he feel about it? Editor Hal Lancaster will analyze the Trojan tailback’s feelings in the special Rose Bowl Souvenir Edition, which will go on sale Wednesday for 10 cents.
The Trorian Chorale, conducted by William J. Dehning, will sing “Caroling, Caroling,” “All on a Christmas Morning,” “We’ll Dress the House,” “Lullaby My Liking,” “Do you Hear What I Hear?,” “The Christmas Song" and “Mary’s Little Boy Child.”
The Chamber Singers, conducted by Charles C. Hirt, will present the Christmas story told in carols from many lands and times.
NEW ERA FORESEEN
Early registration for spring classes opens Dec. 13
Pickup of registration materials for next semester's early registration will begin Wednesday at 9 a.m., and continue until the Jan. 5 deadline for returning completed material.
All registration material will be distributed from the Registrar’s Office according to an alphabetical schedule. If a student cannot obtain his material on the scheduled date, he must wait until the entire alphabet has been opened on Friday.
The distribution schedule is:
•	S-Z 9 a.m. to noon, Dec. 13.
•	A-D 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Dec. 13.
•	E-H 9 a.m. to noon, Dec. 14.
•	I-M 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Dec. 14.
•	N-R 9 a.m. to noon, Dec. 15.
•	Any letter: 1 p.m. Dec. 15 to Jan. 5. Hours will be 9 a.m. to noon; 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and S:30 to noon on Saturday.
“The School of Music is not interested in sponsoring a dance band. We want only high plane contemporary music and arrangements. I personally would like to see the band called the “Laboratory Band," thus indicating that we will be doing some experimental things in the class,” Broadwell said.
Should the School of Music decide to incorporate the Stage Band into its curriculum, Poster's problems would be over and affiliation would be automatic.
Last year the School of Music made such a move when it decided that a group of contemporary singers would be a healthy addition to the curriculum. The result was the formation of the Trojan Chorale, directed by William Dehning.
So the Stage Band continues to rehearse and plan for concerts in the dim future, not really independent and at the same time, not really a university group.
Whether or not the band will be rehearsing next year depends largely on the School of Music, the ASSC, Jack Poster, and most importantly, the addition of three big letters — USC.
The Registrar's closed Dec. 22, 23, Jan. 1.
Office 25, 29,
will be 30, and
Early registration is open only to students in attendance during the fall semester, 1967.
Students who have restrictions on their Permit to Register must clear with the appropriate office before their material is returned to the Registrar's Office for processing.
“R” cards will not be available for students to pick up in person since all material will be processed after the student has returned his packet to the Registrar's Office.
The material will be processed in order of date of receipt.
Students must pick up “H" cards from each department and return them with their completed material. “H” cards will be available in the department offices Wednesday. Packets without “H” cara’s will be returned to the student unprocessed.
All students are required to consult with their advisers before returning their registration material. The adviser's card, hcwever, is to be retained by the academic adviser.
Early registration is not open to students in the English Language Communication Program, foreign students, and returning students. Further details are in “Early Registration - Spring 1968” instructions from the Office of the Registrar.
The schedule of classes will be available at the Information Center Wednesday.
The Registrar's Office will process registration materials unless the materials are not filled out completely and signed, the request for student program card is in disagreement with the schedule of classes, or if class cards for “H” classes are not included.
Also, if any student is not eligible for registration, or if the student’s health classification is not currently on file with the Health Center the process will be delayed.
Exercise may prolong life, says professor
Proper physical exercise is coming into the limelight as one way to prevent physical decline which accompanies old age.
Dr. Herbert A. deVries, professor of physical education, will direct research testing this hypothesis through USC's Institute of Aging.
“We believe the time will come.” Dr. deVries predicts, “when it will be possible to prescribe exercise for an individual with the same scientific detail and exactness as are now employed in writing a prescription for drugs or medicines.”
Dr. deVries will combine the d'*" from this program with other t'-' data already accumulated in '-fort to develop reliable pred:~t’~” levels for the physiological s"— subjects undergo during any givr exercise.
“The data we will collect, together with data collected earlier in pilot programs, will assist us in the determination of that goal,” he said.
Assisted by Dr. Kenneth E. Lers-ten. Dr. deVries will begin testing 150 men between the ages of 50 and 79 for six months. A carefully supervised exercise program, lasting about a year, will follow.
Progress of each volunteer will be measured by the Physiological Efficiency Profile (PEP) test using USC's new mobile Physiology of Exercise laboratory, built especially for the project.
Exercises will begin with “static stretching” that requires practically no physical effort, later going into light calisthenics and exercises requiring even more vigorous effort.
High court, hippies, computers: Shock troops ot social revolution
The hippies, U.S. Supreme Court and the computer are all shock troops of social change, Chaytor Mason, lecturer in aviation psychology, believes.
He foresees a new era characterized by a rekindled awareness, understanding and appreciation of the individual.
“More and more,” Mason said in a recent interview, “people are thinking in such terms as ‘you’re an individual; stop worrying about it.’ Future life will be characterized by a rejection of standard patterns and stereotypes.
“The style of life and attitudes of the hippie movement is having more influence on society at large than it might seem.
“T h e hippies’ free-thinking and nonconformity are beginning to be mirrored widely by those in the Establishment.
“Their influence also is beginning to be felt in such diverse areas
an apparel fashion, with freer combination of wild colors, and even in attitudes toward marijuana. The cigarette and the whiskey glass someday may be replaced by the reefer."
The Supreme Court tends to accelerate momentous social change, Mason said, particularly in recent decisions geared to protecting the rights of the accused.
“The court is also a part of the shock troops of change, since so much of its activity has focused on the rights of the individual,” he explained.
“It is insuring that society lives to the letter of the Constitution in protection of the individual.”
The third method1 of change is through computer and space-age technology, which, Mason feels, does not seem to be fostering a society of numbers instead of individuals.
“As people become more aware
of a threat to their identity, they rebel. When automation forces a man
out of his job, he has to do something,” he said.
“He becomes more aware of himself as a distinct person."
Other significant factors that contribute to the change are that people are better educated, have more time to think and have more to think about.
“Education is becoming broader and more informal. There is more sharing and questioning of ideas," Mason said.
“In most homes a hundred years ago, there was only one. book—the Bible. Now most persons have access to many books and their reading has resulted in an enlarged feeling and knowledge of reality.
“Also contributing to the new emancipation of the human race ar« better, more adequate and less editorialized reporting of the news, as well as the more informative of the radio and television talk shows.”
