Lou Rawls wins praise as ticket sales continue
Bv ELLIOT ZWIEBACH Contributing Editor
Campus leaders added their own superlatives to Lou Rawls’ national rave notices this week as ticket sales continued for the singer's two Bovard concerts Thursday night.
“Once they're in Bovard. the students will experience an evening they won't forget," Jeff Smulyan, chairman of the newly formed ASSC Entertainment Committee, said.
Smulyan saw Rawls perform in Washington D.C. last summer in a show “that prompted our decision to bring him to USC.
“We felt his concert was so excellent that we signed him right after his performance.”
Rawls, who will be performing with singer Patience ValenUne and cnnductor-arranger H. B. Bamum, is the first entertainer brought to campus by the new committee.
The ASSC Executive Council has allocated $5,500 for the 7 and 9:45 p.m. concerts, and is counting on near-capacity student support to keep the ASSC from going into debt and substantiate its belief that students here will support big-name campus entertainment.
“Having Lou Rawls here is bring-
ing a fantastic experience to the campus,” Marty Foley, ASSC president, said.
“In person, his dynamism and outstanding singing ability, ranging from popular songs to blues, make for a show noone should miss.”
NEW COLLEGE STILL REGISTERS
Registration for Experimental College classes will continue through Friday in front of the Student Union.
More than 200 students have signed up so far for the 15 classes being offered this semester. Dr. Wesley Robb’s course in the New Morality has been closed because of limited space.
Courses added since the last Daily Trojan listing include an open class by Dr. Fred Krinksy, chairman of political science, and The Great Books, by junior Al Simon.
Most of the courses will begin next Monday.
Tickets for the two concerts will remain on sale through Thursday afternoon at four locations — in front of Student Union, in front of Founders Hall, in the YWCA Student Activities Office, at 32nd Street Market and at the Ticket Office in 209 Student Union. Living-group block tickets can be picked up at the YWCA.
Preconcert prices for $2.50 for the main floor, $2 for the first balcony and $1.25 for the second balcony. Tickets bought at the door will cost an additional 50 cents each.
Tickets are also being sold this week at UCLA.
The ASSC Entertainment Committee hopes to bring other top-notch entertainers to campus this year.” Smulyan said, if the Rawls' concerts are successful.
And with the additional funds available for entertainment when the programming fee goes into effect next semester, they will not be nearly as limited by the present and past lack of funds.
The prospect for an increase in campus entertainment will also be greatly increased with the opening of the new Student Activities Center next to the Student Union.
Manual Arts story shows many facets
By STAN METZLER City Editor
It's -been a holiday and a disaster, a sideshow and a freakshow at Manual Arts High School, four blocks and a couple of cultures south of the USC campus.
To the university, the headline events of the past few days are a little bit of fear, a little bit of excitement and a little bit of “preventive measures.”
The Los Angeles police call them a major disturbance; the newspapers play them as riots; and the participants insist the only proper term is rebellion.
But to the kids of Manual Arts, a Negro high school on Vermont Avenue and 42nd Street, the word that comes closest to describing the picketing, arrests, beatings and boycotts that have enveloped them since last Wednesday is nuisance.
They began with the arrest of Mrs. Margaret Wright, the leader of a militant parents group seeking the dismissal of the school's principal, Robert Danaby.
Mrs. Wright, who University Division police say has caused trouble on a number of Los Angeles high school campuses, was asked by the Manual Arts security guard to leave campus Wednesday.
She refused, and the guard said he would have to insist. Members of the high school administration felt they could take no more action themselves without causing a major disturbance and called the local police for a citizen's arrest charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
The “officer-in-trouble" call came to the University Division, while Jim Strait. Daily Trojan police reporter, was collecting statistics for an article.
“A couple of policemcn went rushing out." he recalled. ‘ One of the other officers sitting in the same room looked up and said. ‘I don't know what they’re getting so excited about. It isn't very important.'
“There was an air of confidence around the station, they seemed to be very well prepared.” he said.
At Manual Arts, a member of the administration and several students said later, Mrs. Wright went limp and then began resisting her arrest.
“She was fighting back and so they had to drag her out,” the administrator said. “Of course it made a very ugly scene.”
“They didn't just take her off.” one student said, “they dragged her away, man. They dragged her away.”
Thursday and Friday the trouble intensified. Firebombs were set off, bottles were thrown. The police set up a command post in Exposition Park, and massive patrols hit Vermont Avenue both afternoons.
Friday afternoon the trouble grew into a major disturbance, and scores of police units stood on tactical alert as widespread violence threatened to spread into another Watts Riot.
The Campus Police kept a full force guarding all

Lew sat in the circle and kicked the Herald-Examiner headline under
his foot.
"Riot," he said, “there was no riot.
“The Negro kids weren't being taught and the police were brutally beating them for protesting.
“I've been at Manual Arts all day helping these kids against police suppression and I'm really tired and fed up. I usually tell you the history of Operation Bootstrap but tonight I can't.
Lew Johnson, the bearded leader of an Operation Bootstrap sensitivity session Thursday night, explained how he felt about the school problem and defined the problem between the white and black communities.
He said it's not a color problem, but a human problem, and everybody is in trouble as human beings. Finally, he said he was disgusted with “trying to deal with white people.”
I had signed up for the orientation session in my Social Problems class, and I had gone to 42nd Street and Central Avenue with 75 other classmates.

UNEASINESS MOUNTS IN NEARBY STREETS Crowds continue to gather while trio watches from rooftop.
Love: acquaintance, friendship, courtship
Executive Council will decide on literature proposal today
The Student Literature Committee will present the final draft of a new student literature policy proposal to the ASSC Executive Council today for approval.
Following almost-certain approval by the ASSC, the proposal will be presented to the Student Activities Committee, which will have final power to enact or reject it.
The council will meet at 3:15 p.m. in the President’s Conference Room in Bovard Auditorium. The meeting is open to all students.
The policy, which would allow free, uncensored distribution of student literature on campus, has been developed during the past month by
the special committee headed by Rick-Flam.
The policy has been called one of the most far-reaching ASSC projects in recent years and has generally met with optimism and support from students, faculty and administration.
Under the proposed policy, no student literature distributed on campus would be subject to prior censorship. Administrative approval has been needed in the past. Student courts would handle cases of alleged improper literature only after it has been distributed or upon issuance of an injunction from the Dean of Students’ Office.
The Executive Council will also
discuss whether USC's representatives in a national collegiate Model United Nations should be affiliated through the ASSC ana’ whether they should be financed by ASSC funds.
USC has been invited to represent a nation (probably Israel) in the miniature UN. which is composed of other colleges and universities across the nation.
The council tfill also begin preliminary discussions of a proposed Rally Committee.
The committee would probably be coordinated with the Special Events Office and would plan rallies and halftime shows at athletic events.

He squinted his bespectacled eyes, lifted his chin, and gazed into the distance. His British accent, thinning grey hair, and wry sense of -humor cast him perfectly into the role of an English aristocrat. Only two things were different: he talked about sex, and he didn't smoke a pipe.
He was Dr. Stuart Babbage, an ecumenical leader and Christian journalist, and he was speaking last night in EVK lounge on “The Playboy Philosophy of Sex.”
After a short talk in which he refuted Hugh Heffner's philosophy (that sex should be one of the ingredients in the total entertainment and service package for the young American male), he engaged in a lively discussion with students concerning the morality of sexual intercourse before marriage.
“I think that there is great wisdom to be learned in the lessons of the past. This doesn't mean one should be uncritical of standards placed upon one, but one will find that love is a developing relationship. It begins as an acquaintanceship, it becomes a friendship, which becomes a courtship, which becomes an engagement, which becomes a marriage." he said.
“People talk of love at first sight. I really doubt whether there is such a thing, however true love does include a bit of frenzy, ecstacy or madness. It also becomes more exclusive when it reaches the ecstatic stage. Then it is declared publicly by engagement.
Dr. Babbage said love is composed of admiration, physical attraction and affection.
“It is a mingling of the heart and mind with a little added intoxication,” he said.
“Love and sex should be the same thing, but in today’s society, they often are separated.
“I'm sure we live in an atmosphere which is sort of sex-laden. We are excited at a younger age. Advertising plays upon sex. We’re a sex-sick society,” he said.
Dr. Babbage described today's society by drawing a parallel to a quote from C. S. Lewis. “Suppose we were exposed to a society where food was exploited like sex is "
In this situation people would be herded into a giant auditorium to have the curtains drawn and have a meat loaf exposed on a large screen. Food would be spoken of only in hushed tones, and people secretly would confide that to eat food was a pleasurable experience.
“Wouldn't you think something had gone wrong with this society?” he said.
“A sexual relationship should be a mutual fulfillment. My suggestion is not to make it something cheap, where a woman is a plaything but something meaningful when it is placed in the context of love."
On the double standard and Cas-sanovas he quoted Rudyard Kipling: "The more you have known of the many the less you can settle for one."
“I would not pass judgement if a couple intended to live together faithfully throughout their lives, as to whether they should engage in intercourse before marriage.”
Dr. Babbage will speak at noon today on “The Existential Choice.” and at 4» p.m. on “Excellence in Christian Expression."
