Sclilesinger and JFk.
«d Sehlesinger as “Kennedy's resident intellectual.” Robert Kennedy and Sehlesinger have been close friends since the early days of the late president's administration.
Sehlesinger began his career after he was graduated from Harvard sum-ma cum laude in 1938. He was made a member of the Society of Fellows, a. graduate group devoted strictly to research. While with this group, he developed the material for his first book. “Orestes A. Brownson: A Pilgrim's Progress.”
During World War II. he worked In the Office of Strategic Services. After the war, he wrote “The Age of
President Johnson, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Vice-President Hubert Humphrey also commented about several of the book's excerpts.
In addition to his Pulitzer Prize, Sehlesinger is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, an American Academy of Arts and Letters Grant, the Francis Parkman Prize and the Brancroft Prize.
He is a member of five historical societies, as well as being a vice-chairman of Americans for Democratic Action and a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
Some of his writings include “The Vital Center,” “The General and the President.” “The Crisis of the Old Order,” “The Coming of the New Deal,' “The Politics of Upheaval,” “Kennedy or Nixon” and “The Politics of Hope.”
In addition to his political and academic activities, he contributes to magazines and newspapers.
Schlesinger’s appearance tomorrow, although strictly a political speech for Sen. Kennedy, does not rule out the possibility of Sen. Kennedy speaking here later.
Sehlesinger will not receive any financial reimbursement from the university for his speech.
Students mirror society—Grafton
By BILL DICKE Night editor
Student attitudes are no better or worse than the society that spawned them, a campus study has shown
Clive Grafton, director of special events, said this was one of the results of a study he has completed for his doctorate in education. He explained the results to members of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity last night; today he will have his final oral examination.
Because student attitudes are no different than society’s, it is difficult to build a value system, he said.
“This bothers me,” he added. “If this theory is correct, students just drift with society.”
One of Grafton’s major recommendations is that institutions of higher learning should be sensitive to major changes in society in developing goals for students.
Grafton’s paper compares the attitudes of fraternity men and independents on 22 issues with a 1956 study concerning exactly the same questions and groups of men.
“When I went into the study I felt the attitudes of independents would change very drastically and those of fraternity men would not change so much,” he said.
“What I found was that affiliated and nonaffiliated men differed from their 1956 attitudes on 21 of the 22 questions.” The fraternity men kept their attitude of 1956 that participation in politics has a good effect on character development. The independents kept their original attitude that in more cases than not, the end of obtaining good grades does not justify any means.
The study broke each group into class standings also. Of the 176 possible areas of comparison thus formed, differences were found two thirds of the time.
The most dramatic changes came in attitudes toward premarital sex relations, use of alcohol and issues seen as student rights.
On Sex:
In 1956 fraternity men felt pros and cons were about equal; in 1967, they felt that in more cases than not, there is little harm in premarital sex relations.
In 1956. independents felt that in more cases than not, premarital sex was undesirable; in 1967, they felt the pros and cons were equal. The 1967 freshman class was more liberal and found little harm.
On alcohol:
In 1956. fraternity men felt pros and cons were equal; in 1967 they felt there is little harm and
$
i
possibly some good in the use of alcohol.
The independents in 1956 felt there was more harm than good in alcohol; in 1967 they felt the pros and cons were about equal.
On Student Rights:
Students today are a little more militant toward things they see as student rights, Grafton said.
“Students tend to want something proven to them.” he said, “but sometimes the administration will say, ‘Well, it’s written, so it’s good.” *
Another general finding of the study is that students are more skeptical about honor systems, the university’s effect on character development and the university’s contribution to modern living.
“The university says, ‘We want to build a climate for learning,” he said, “but it is obvious we don’t always do this, and perhaps are doing it far less than we like to think.”
Attitudes in 1967 changed to the middle ground on most campus issues, the study shows.
Also, attitudes of fraternity men and independents are not that much different. He told his fraternity audience. “Your organizations no longer act as the central core of an individual’s thoughts. We are beginning to get away from this.”
Bill Mauk at moment of presidential victory
By STAN METZLER Editor
“I feel pretty good.” Bill Mauk said at a party of his supporters \ last night.
1,060 votes good, to be exact.
Mauk defeated Gary Rafferty for the ASSC presidency, 1,060 to 635, in yesterday’s run-off election.
Other winners were Suzanne DeBall. 864 to 632 over Jane Lindenthal for academic affairs vice-president; Ron McDuffie, 232 to 149 over Steve Turner for junior representative; and Tom Levyn, 210 to 185 over Peter Salvatori for sophomore representative.
Just under 2,000 students, a record run-off vote, also cast ballots for 11 student referendums and the Choice ’68 National Collegiate Primary. Choice ’68 results will be announced late next week.
“Next year I plan to create a revolution,” Mauk told the Daily Trojan.
“It will be an academic revolution, a cultural revolution and an intellectual revolution, and I will need the help of all those people who voted for me and supported me and sincerely believe that this campus must change.”
Mauk said he will count on the support of all students, regardless of whom they voted for, to help change the mood of the campus and “fill the gap between this and other universities.”
He said applications will be circulated next week to enlist the aid of all students who would like to work on ASSC committees and hold ASSC positions.
“Looking over the campaign, I’d guess I have to say I won because the students liked my campaign for student power, academic freedom and change more than what my opponent offered.
“It’s been a long five weeks, but the students were able to gain an understanding of the issues and the need for a change.”
Rafferty said he wanted to thank all the students who supported him. especially Marshall Silberberg and Tom Metzler, his campaign manager.
“I find it ironic that Marty Foley offered the post of elections commissioner to Tom Metzler earlier this year,” he said.
“And I'd like to congratulate Norm Wilky on a brilliantly run campaign.”
Miss DeBall, who said she was “proud and excited” over her victory, said she plans to work immediately on these aspects of her campaign:
1.	A week-long program on the Presidential elections;
2.	Placing students on such important faculty committees as tenure and curriculum;
3.	Generally expanding student rights.
“ I guess I won because of all the people who worked for me. I couldn't have done it without all the support they gave me,” she said.
“I didn't expect to win. I guess I’m just superstitious or something.
“But I did give that platform to an awful lot of people who must have voted for me.”
A total of 1,998 ballots were cast in this election, the largest run-off number in USC election history. The breakdown by polls is 1.365 at Bovard, 237 at the dormitories. 158 at the Medical School. 136 on the Row and 102 at the School of Architecture.
The elections were supervised again by members of ASSC Executive Council. The ballot boxes were unlocked by ASSC President Marty Foley at 4:30 p.m. yesterday in the YWCA, and the ballots were counted by members of the council and supporters of both presidential candidates.
“This was literally a beautiful election,” Foley said. “We processed 2,000 ballots in four hours aud nothing went wrong.”

Election'68 topic of Sehlesinger
B* ROGER SMITH
Arthur M. Sehlesinger Jr., noted historian and former advisor to President John Kennedy, will speak in Bovard tomorrow on behalf of Sen. Robert Kennedy's presidential bid.
The speech. “Election ’68; A Historical Perspective. ' is sponsored by the Great Issues Forum.
Sehlesinger. 50. who lives in Washington, D.C., is the author of numerous books dealing with American history. His most recent work, “A Thousand Days,” was a bestselling biography of the Kennedy administration.
The New York Times has describ-
Jackson," which earned him a Pulitzer Prize for literature in 1946.
Sehlesinger then began a 15-year academic career, with notable interruptions to work for the Democratic party. He was given a permanent position at Harvard, a rarity magnified by the fact that he did not possess a Ph.D. and was less than 30 years old.
Sehlesinger continued to write and to work in partisan politics. He was a member of Adlai Stevenson’s campaign staff in 1952 and 1956. writing speeches and making speaking appearances.
He also worked for the Kennedy campaign in 1960. and was subsequently made special assistant to the President. President Johnson asked Sehlesinger to remain on his staff, and Sehlesinger agreed. He resigned six months later, reportedly because Johnson gave him nothing to do.
Sehlesinger is now Regents Pro- | fessor of Humanities at City University of New York.
When excerpts from “A Thousand Days” appeared in a national magazine in the summer of 1965. controversy swirled about Sehlesinger. He was charged w'ith “using his position” in order to write a bestseller and his book was said by some to be in bad taste.
Around-the-clock care still for Siamese twins
Sehlesinger defended himself by pointing out the factual nature of the book, and saying that one need not wait for decades before writing a good history.
Siamese twins, Chandra
(I) and Charron before surgical separation
Exclusive photo to the Daily Trojan
By DIANE LUCK
Ass’t editorial director
Charron and Chandra, the third set of Siamese twins to be separated at the County-USC Medical Center, are still being cared for around the clock.
Charron is in critical condition, having improved only a little since the surgery nine days ago. Chandra, in contrast to her sister, is showing remarkable improvement, becoming alert and taking milk.
Charron must still be fed intravenously because she has not regained consciousness since the operation. The doctors are especially concerned for her prolonged need for this type of feeding. As long as the infant must be fed intravenously, she will not gain weight or develop normally.
One of the most serious future complications in Charron's case is ihe probability that she suffered brain damage when her heart beat slowed and stopped during the operation. The brain relies on the oxygen supply from the blood.
It is often the case when conjoined twins are separated that one of them makes excellent progress while the other declines and frequently fails.
Several years ago, Siamese twins who were joined at the head were born in Chicago. One of the twins died during the surgery, but the other one survived and is still living, nine years later.
During the first days following the operation, Charron and Chandra were surrounded by as many as five physicians with other pediatric and
anesthetist residents and interns on call.
Their tremendous care and attention resulted from their being put in the number one position on the priority list of the hospital. The twins still have priority and are watched by at least one physician at all times.
Before surgery, Charron and Chandra displayed great alertness to each other and' to those around them. Long before most infants discover their hands, these girls were putting their fists in their mouths and sometimes each other's mouth.
Doctors are very hopeful for Chandra’s full recovery, but with Charron their outlook is “extremely concerned.” The next two weeks will be the most decisive for her,
DOWN CHILDS DUE AT GRILL FRIDAY
The Down Childs, a quartet specializing in a modern interpretation of urban blues, will appear in the Grill tomorrow night.
The group, based in Los An-Angeles, combines the elements of Chicago blues, progressive jazz and “Memphis” rhythm and blues in its music.
Although the Down Childs were formed only three months ago, its members have been jamming and performing together sporadically for more than four years.
They have appeared at such night clubs as the Topanga Corral, the Inn, the Middle Earth and at concerts and parties in the ISC area.
