Troy, Bruins vie for national title
By LANCE SPIEGEL.
Co-Sports Editor
In 1966 it was Michigan State versus Notre Dame in the top college game of the year and in 1967, it will be USC and UCLA.
There will be several things at stake when the Trojans and the Bruins clash in the Coliseum tomorrow afternoon at 1:30.
In no particular order of importance, some of the spoils that will go to the winner include a Rose Bowl berth, a conference championship, a national title and the city championship.
For John McKay's Trojans, the game has one added prize — self-respect. Troy has lost the last two to the Uclans. In both cases, USC was favored to win
and was upset.
The results of the two setbacks have been a plethora of noncomplimentary remarks by the local
press.
Not since 1955 have the Bruins beaten USC
three straight times. USC’s seniors are hopeful they won’t be the first Trojans in 12 years that have failed to ever beat the Uclans.
Tommy Prothro’s UCLA team will go into the game as the No. 1 ranked team in the nation, but Troy has been a three-point favorite most of the week.
Gary Beban, a brilliant quarterback, who, along with Prothro, rescued UCLA football fortunes in 1965, leads the explosive Bruin offense.
“The Great One,” as Beban has been dubbed by local writers, has only faced USC once in his career. As a sophomore he was bounced around for 56 minutes before throwing two TD passes to give the Bruins a startling 20-16 win.
Last year, though, Beban suffered a knee injury against Stanford the week before the USC game and didn't see any action against the Trojans. His understudy, Norman Dow, paced the Bruins to a 14-7 win.
Beban's passing and running have been the key factors in the Uclans 7-0-1 record this season.
USC, ranked No. 1 for the majority of the year,
lost its first game last week at Oregon State. A treacherous field and a field goal gave the Beavers a 3-0 victory.
O. J. Simpton. who is just as great a halfback as Beban is a quarterback, will make his first local appearance for USC since he injured his foot against Oregon three weeks ago.
Simpson was about the only offensive weapon the Trojans could come up with in the rain and mud of Corvallis last week. He rushed for 188 yards and maintained his lead in the national and conference rushing statistics.
The Bruins haven't met a runner of O.J.'s caliber since they ran into Mike Garrett in ’65. Garrett carried the ball 40 times against the Uclans in that game and gained over 180 yards.
It seems more than likely that Simpson will be just as busy. And if USC is to win, lie’ll have to make a similar amount of yardage.
Although most experts agree that the Bruins
rate the edge offensively over Troy because of Beban s extra ordinary talents, they also think that the USC defensive unity may be capable of thwarting the UCLA scoring machine.
Adrian Young and Tim Rossovich, two legitimate All-Americans, are the mainstays of a proud
I	rojan defensive unit that has yet to be effectively dented after nine games.
The Trojans have met some talented offensive ballplayers, including Bill Bradley. Chris Gilbert, Jimmy Raye, Terry Hanratty and Jim Seymour.
Whether or not I SC will be able to halt Beban’s passing and the running ol Puck Purdy and Greg Jones remains to be seen.
McKay was forced to modify his starting lineup when Jimmy Lawrence hurt his knee against the Beavers last week.
Lawrence, who started at flanker for Troy, is being replaced by Earl McCullouch. the Trojan's regular split-end.

MAYOR JOHN LINDSAY The Republican called for reformer's zeal
Lindsay: Future s key is caliber of statesmen
By MIKE PARDRIDGE
John Lindsay spoke to a capacity crowd in Bovard Auditorium yesterday morning, not as the mayor of New York City, but more as a concerned citizen of a society in troubled times.
The Republican leader's speech, the fourth Great Issues Forum presentation this year, was on the question. “Can We Make Our Cities Liveable?"
Before taking up this urban topic, however. Mayor Lindsay first lauded the country's college students for the “great transition” they have made recently. “from hotbeds of complacency. from being Ihe nucleus of the silent generation, from a concept of disengagement.’’
Lindsay called on the concerned students to take “the reformer's zeal.”
He cited three courses which the young generation might take: tha road of merely turning your back on the problems of society, dropping out with drugs, or taking up the crusade of the protestor.
The mayor quickly reminded his audience, however, that those who
University of Southern California
would rebel against the conventions of society must also assist in its reconstruction.
“If that responsibility is lacking, the successful resistance movement can lead only to chaos, and the historic result of chaos has been tyranny,” he said.
To illustrate the impotence that a college-age person might feel in the world of government and politics, Lindsay drew an analogy.
“The sophomore alienated from his school has much in common with the ghetto youth alienated from his city. Both suffer from an inability as individuals to influence the institutions that can better or worsen their lives,” he explained.
He then warned that government is the most powerful force of change, and. often, the only force.
“If you want to ban the bomb, if you want to legalize pot, only government can do it,” he said.
“You can resist, march, harangus —but the decisions are ultimately made by the men in government. And if not for the best, it is not the fault of our democratic system, but of those who makes the decisions.

Troy Week: Fire, fuzz, football
By ELLIOT ZWIEBACH Contributing Editor
USC goes traditional today and tomorrow as parades, bonfires and Big Game excitement replace p?ncils and books, in anticioation of the Rose Bowl showdown with UCLA.
College spirit as refiected in Jack Oakie vintage movies of the mid-1930’s will prevail, as it has all week, when parades leave the dorms and Row simultaneously at 7:55 p.m.. with Hoover Park their destination, “Kill their rallvin^ cry and revenge their ultimate goal.
The parade from the Row will march down University Avenue along a route lined by Trojan Kniuhts. The dormies will have a shorter walk, marehine from College Hall over to the bonfire area.
After the fire has been lit. Rusty Jordan and Companv will take over, aided and abetted by Gypsv Boots. Boots is expected to sing “Fight On" and do his famous grvpsv fire dance.
He is also expected to present a couple of go-go dancers to heighten the excitement and keep things mov-in*'
The highlight of the evening will be the announcement of the winners of house decorations, which will be judged this afternoon.
Of even greater interest, perhaps, will be the presentation of the BFD (best fuzz development) award to the student who has raised the most outstanding or most unusual beard. Judging will be by Mimi Orr. 1967 Helen of Troy.
A street dance around the leaping flames will follow the rally. Music will be appropriately provided by the Canned Heat.
I.D. TO BE CHECKED AT COLISEUM GATE
All students must present a student I.D. with their rooters ticket to Saturday’s USC-UCLA football game.
Knights President Derald Sidler said the Coliseum commission will not admit any students in the rooter’s section without an I.D. card.
Students must also wear white to sit in the card stunt section. Coliseum gates will open at noon.
They’ll be the only ones that are canned, however. More people will probably be potted.
Game week tension has been enhanced by a series of clashes with the men working on the new School of Education.
When someone put up a sign that said. “We’re still #1." the workmen thoughtfully added a zero to make it read. “We're still #10.”
They made a sign saying "UCLA = 1.” which was taken down but which they stubbornly put up again.
Yesterday they put up a sign saying. “Roses for Beban, Curtains for O.J." It was removed by Squires President Terry Hackett and Bob Nelson, a Knight.
Los Angeles will become a city of insomniacs tonight, since tension on both sides of town is likely to keep people from falling asleep.
Adventurous fans may prefer spending the early hours of Saturday morning camping out in front ot the Coliseum gates for a choice place in line. The gates won't open until noon tomorrow.
The Troy Week Committee has contracted for a couple of bands to entertain the teeming masses waiting outside the gates.
Once inside, it'll be up to the Trojan varsity to make Troy Week, 1967, a complete success. If they do, there
will be a rally on the fieid immediately after the game.
“If we win. we can stay in the Coliseum as long as we want.” Jordan said.
Even if USC wins, however, the Victory Bell will not toll at the postgame rally. Although it will be on the field during the game, it will be placed in a Brink's armored truck and whisked back to its temporary home in Westwood during the second half.
In case of a Trojan triumph, it will be brought back across town Monday and sounded at a noon rally in front of Tommy Trojan. It will probably still be painted blue, but it won’t stay that way for long.
CAMPUS DRAGNET
Police pickup purloiners
By JIM STRAIT
The Los Angeles Police arrested a man Tuesday who has confessed to a large percentage of thefts from motor vehicles in the USC area.
The suspect admitted to stealing 17 car stereos, and police estimated he may ultimately be connected with as many as 80 thefts.
The police consider his arrest to be a major breakthrough in the solution of the high number of thefts that have taken place during the last 11 months, and think the suspect may have been operating even longer.
His arrest came through an unusual series of incidents that involved two USC students and also included the arrest of another suspected thief, who police presently believe was operating on a much smaller scale.
Police said the suspect specialized on two-door cars, forcing them open with a specially-made tool and steeling only car stereos, which he later sold to car clubs.
The incidents leading to his arrest began on Oct. 17 when student Gary N. Vandermast, reported to the University Division of the LAPD that his car stereo had been stolen.
He said his car had been parked in the apartment house car-port when
the windwing was forced and his stereo, some tools and nine tapes were stolen. Vandermast had luckily remembered to write down the serial number of his stereo and he gave it to the police.
On the same date. Jerry Finstcr reported that his car. which had been parked in the underground parking lot provided by his apartment house, was broken into and his wallet was stolen.
The police had no leads at the time and finally had to file the reports. Last Tuesday, however. Officers A. Ferrand and R. Whitaker were driving their patrol car on 32nd Street when they heard an alarm coming from a 1965 Chevrolet Impala parked at the corner of 32nd and Royal Streets.
The officers checked the car and found a note lying on the driver s seat. It read:
“Vernon- 12:45 a.m.. came by here about midnight. I did not see anyone around, so I thought I write a note for you. Come over my house Tuesday morning I need those two stereos you have. I’ll explain about Saturday. Mike.”
Because of the recent rate of burglary from motor vehicles in the
neighborhood, the officers began inquiring at residences to see who owned the car.
A man walking down the street said he knew the owner, and that he had kept a stereo concealed in the glove compartment. The officers checked there, and found a disconnected stereo.
The passerby pointed out the car owner's home. On the way over, the officers called in the serial number of the stereo. It was the same one stolen from Vandermast.
When they got to the suspect's house, he said that he did own the car and then asked the officer if someone had stolen his stereo.
The officers arrested him
The suspect maintained that he had bought the stereo for S45 from another man. While there, the police observed an 18-inch billy club filled with lead, and a container of stereo tapes.
As the officers took the suspect away, they asked him if he had anything else he had purchased from this individual who sold him the stereo. He said he did. and they found 20 tapes in his car trunk.
After booking the first suspect, (Continued on Page 2)
Campus forum hinderd by bureaucracy
(This is the second of a two-part series on the university speakers policy.—The Editor)
By ANDY MILLER Assistant City Editor
Major student objections to the present speakers policy center around the ambiguity of the policy statement and the ten-day waiting period.
The speakers policy is reportedly the next project for the Standing Committee on Student Rights, headed by Rick Flam, senior in political science.
Flam finds a number of inadequacies in the present policy, which is written out in SCampus. He has received information from 16 other universities, and is currently considering revision of the policy.
“It is poorly written; it allows for terrible misinterpretation,” Flam said.
“Rewriting it will only partially help — there will have to be an attitude change. The adminstration will have to learn that we wall have speakers they don’t like.”
The defense stand of the administration is that no speaker has ever been refused to speak at USC since the new speakers policy took effect June 2, 1965.
Flam and other student leaders take objection to section one of the policy statement:
“The University is not a public forum and the foregoing policy is not intended to nor shall it be construed
as establishing the university or any portions of its campus as a public forum.”
Dean of Students Paul Bloland said the choice of words in the statement is probably unfortunate, but the administration’s interpretation is that speaker programs are designed only for students, faculty and staff members. and not for the outside community.
“The question is whether or not it hurts us or helps us to include the outside community. If we keep it closed, there will be a seige. The university has a higher duty to the community,” Flam said.
“If you want to take an issue, the public forum is it. The university must be exactly this. It must be an open forum.” Bob Lutz, vice-president for academic affairs, said.
The second objection is the ten-day waiting period, spelled out in sections one and two in the administrative procedures:
“Before each speaker to be registered is formally invited, a form ‘Request to Invite Off-Campus Speaker’ is to be submitted to the Student Activities Office. The request for registration should be submitted in sufficient time to allow a ten-day period (excepting holidays, vacation periods, and weekends) for action by the Dean of Students before an invitation is sent to the speaker.”
Here is where the speaker may be refused for a variety of policy or administrative reasons.
Before a speaker is accepted, he must meet four criteria set forth in section three of the policy statement.
•	“The content of the speech, address, or talk shall be in conformity with the university’s tradition of excellence in education and shall not include advocacy of or incitement to any illegal or immoral conduct, including the overthrow of the lawfully constituted government of the United States by force and violence."
•	All speakers are to entertain questions after their speech.
•	A faculty member or an officer or responsible member of the sponsoring organization is to preside over the speech.
•	A faculty member shall attend all such events as required by administrative procedures for the full duration of the program including the question period and such faculty members shall have authority to terminate the event if it appears that the policy of the Board (of Trustees) or regulations of the administration are being violated.”
“USC feels it has to precensor. One. it is hard to do,
and two. you cheat yourself in the process.” Flam said of the concept of invitation versus notification.
The ten-day waiting period also hampers student organizations sponsoring speakers. John Wardlow. AMS president said.
“You can ask Bloland to approve the speaker, but if you don’t give him ten day’s notice he can say no. \ ou should have to notify, but not ask permission,” Wardlow said.
Although no speakers have been refused, why haven t more big name radical speakers been invited to USC?
Wardlow cited several problems — the lack of adequate facilities, lack of attendance, the lack of sufficient speaker budgets, and the refusal of some of the big-name speakers to speak.
During the recent SDS-sponsored Anti-Draft Week, there were some outlandish speakers who are not well-known here,” Wardlow said.
“The only way the speaker's policy is going to be changed is if somebody says no to a speaker—people would scream. Then it might be changed. I think it needs rewriting, but I’m not ready to go through the hassle of doing it. I would change the public forum part, reduce the bureaucracy, and change the philosophy of the policy,” Wardlow said.
