Pied piper in Student Union plays sax, paints oils
By ANN SALISBURY Contributing Editor
There’* a pied piper in the basement of the Student Union. Students walking by on University Avenue may hear his alluring music but, unlike the children in the fairy tale, they cannot follow him.
Mainly because they cannot find him. He is hiding away among books, shelves, glne pots, and flowered stationary. practicing the soprano saxophone.
He is Henry De Vega and he is a purchasing and order clerk for the University Bookstore, but on his breaks he practices on the Saxophone.
“Actually the only time I get for practicing is on my breaks because when I’m not doing that I'm painting and when I'm not doing that I’m working here.” he said.
De Vega wants to work right now because he is tired of traveling. “I’ve traveled around the United States with Gerald Wilson, and I’ve played with Lionel Hampton, Charlie Barnett, Harry James, and Nelson Riddle,” he said.
“The soprano saxophone was brought into popularity by John Col-trane,” he said. The one he was playing was gold colored and the music that came out of it was too. Except it was touched with blue.
De Vega not only plays soprano saxophone, but he also plays clarinet, alto saxophone and piccolo. Pauline Inslee, a senior in music performance
is presently tutoring him in flute.
“Sometimes on my lunch hour I go to Exposition Park and practice in the Rose Gardens. Usually my breaks are around 20 minutes,” De Vaga said.
“In my spare time I can either paint or play music, but I have to try to devote as much time as possible to each horn, and I don’t really have much time,” he said.
De Vega said he didn’t intend to go back into professional music making.
“I only want to go back into it as a thing I enjoy rather than making a living.” he said. “To make a living out of a thing I enjoy takes the joy out of it. It becomes a prostitution of the fine arts.
“I don't like having to take jobs I don’t enjoy and play dance music and music that’s not my style just for the sake of keeping myself employed,” he said.
De Vega not only is a musician, but he has won awards for paintings he has done. Some of his paintings are displayed in the Office for School Supplies.
For some of them he used a mixture of acrylics and oils with enamels that dry in four hours. The paintings have a bluesy mood to them.
Two of them are of women with guitars.
One he did for a Playboy bunny in
New York. Another he did for a woman he knew named Ida Pot. He painted a woman with a guitar-like instrument wearing a burlap sack which used to bear the words “Idaho Potatoes,” but the “ho,” and “atoes,” has been conveniently cut off to shape the dress, spelling the name of the woman, Ida Pot.
But somehow the paintings never wound up with the woman for whom they were intended and they remained a part of De Vega’s collection.
“I did like them,” he said.
“I have entered painting shows, and in three shows I won awards. The first was at Morro Bay -and I won third place for one called ‘So Blue.’
I	was really surprised because the artist who taught me how to paint got fifth place in the contest. That was a boost to my ego.
“Then in Santa Barbara I won an award for a painting called ‘San Francisco Holocaust’ and I got a special award for a modern abstract I did called ‘Kinda Blue’,” De Vega said.
But the pied piper in the basement of the Student Union does not have an open mountain full of candy and soda pop streams. All he can offer is a stack of papers and blue pots, an eyeful of some dramatic paintings, and an earful of jazzy music.

TAIT	DEDIEMAR	COHEN		► M 1 1 III
Janice Tail, sophomore in history and a candidate for AWS vice-presi-dent, outlined her proposed plan for action yesterday.
Heading her platform is the need for greater contact between the various women's factions in the university.
“The AWS needs lo undertake programs to bring the different elements together, rather than keeping them apart. As the AWS is set up now. there are too many factions (sorority, dorm, commuter, and independent) which prevent the unity of women students,” she said.
“Such an attempt to achieve unity would in turn stimulate student interest and participation.”
Miss Tait also expressed a desire to attain visitation in the women's dorms and achieve a liberalization of hours for dorm and sorority residents.
“The present system is just too confining,” she said. “Most women students are restricted more now by the university than they ever were by their parents.”
She also advocated abolishment of freshman dorms, which ahe feels isolate new students from needed contact with older students.
Miss Tait said there is a necxi to develop a better system of protection for women on campus at night.
Donna DeDiemar. a sophomore in journalism, has announced her candidacy for AWS vice-president
Miss DeDiemar is currently serving as president of Sword and Shield, sophomore women's service honorary. She is on the AWS Executive and Associate Cabinets, public director of the I-House. and assistant city editor of the Daily Trojan.
Much of Miss DeDiemar’s platform centers around the need for yearly communications between the women's service groups.
“For the past several years there has been the problem of women graduating from their various groups and leaving little for the next group to follow.” she said.
“Consequently, the fall semester is often wasted trying to figure out the most effective and interesting ways to run an organization. Women lose interest because they are bored or the burden of responsibility tends to be too much. Because of this, the school loses valuable manpower.”
As a solution to this problem, Miss DeDiemar suggested that a council be formed under the AWS vice-president. The function of this group would be to provide help for struggling groups whenever the need might arise.
Miss DeDiemar also cited a need for tightening within the AWS structure.
INQUIRY BOARD TO MEET
The ASSC Board of Inquiry will meet at 9:40 tonight in the YWCA to hear appeals of disqualifications for the ASSC elections.
ASSC elections.
Doug Gallup, candidate for AMS president; Joe LaTorre, candidate for junior representative; and Peter Salvatori, candidate for sophomore representative, were disqualified earlier this week for not attending a mandatory meeting on Monday.
The Board of Inquiry is composed of all members of the ASSC Student Court. It* meeting, except for judicial deliberations, is open to the public.
Jay Cohen, a freshman in mathematics. announced his candidacy for sophomore representative yesterday with a proposal to allow extended lockout for sophomore girls.
The lockout proposal is the first step toward Cohen's ultimate goal of no lockout at all. and his immediate program would also include the granting of unlimited specials to freshman girls with a 2.5 or better.
“I don't see why it should be anybody else s business but the girls' and their parents': certainly not the university’s. after the parents' permission has been granted.” Cohen said. “Women of college age should be able to take care of themselves.”
Cohen, a former student body vice-president at South San Francisco High School, is also interested in instituting the visitation proposal that was recently rejected by the administration, as well as reestablishing class councils and furthering such programs as the ASSC Grill dances and the Interchange Program.
“Unless Dr. Topping’s present attitude changes, instituting visitation, and changing lockout might be a major problem. He has too much power; it’s really undemocratic, since the ASSC has no veto override,” Cohen said.
“I disagree very much with the parents who believe that visitation and vice are synonymous,” Cohen added. If elected, he plans to present his proposals through the ASSC Executive Council, perhaps with a petition from women students, on the subject of lockout and visitation to add weight to his proposals.
Cohen is interested in class councils as a means of expression of student opinion to the Executive Council and overcoming the lack of communication which he feels is a major problem.
He is interested in following up the recent Interchange program with similar programs to decrease the lack of communication between USC and the surrounding community.

The University Senate borrowed a page from the rule books of the student power movement yesterday when it voted to consider a motion for its own reconstruction.
The motion, which was based on the need for better representation of the faculty and greater power in the in the university’s decision-making processes, asked the Senate Executive Committee to study a resolution presented by Dr. Robert Easton, professor of geology:
“Resolved: That the Executive Committee of the Senate reevaluate the structure of the Senate, giving special consideration to the possibility that the aspirations and obligations of the university community may be served best by having all faculty members and some officers of the university automatically qualified as senators.”
The motion was passed unanimously and forwarded to the Executive Committee. Although the resolution provoked little comment because of most members’ astonishment, the general feeling seemed to be that it stood little chance of advancing
In presenting the resolution. Dr. Easton recognized that he was in effect asking “for the dissolution of the Faculty Senate and its reconstruction as a body to serve as a committee of the whole.”
Commenting that a lack of true representation (“I have no real contact with my constituents”) and an overabundance of committee work keep the Senate from “the purposes for which it was intended,” he said the senators should be considering five more pressing problems:
1.	The entire scope of excellence and enterprise in education.
2.	Community problems, as pointed out in the recent Interchange program and yesterday’s Faculty Center speech (see story below).
3.	Becoming involved in the uni-
versity’s decision-making process, which would provide the university with “more ability than is now being drawn upon.”
4.	Improvement in communications with the administration on a more comprehensive scale than “the amiable coffee hours in Dr. Topping's office.”
5.	Increased student participation, to help relieve the frustrations of many students who do not feel they are really involved with the university.
Although Dr. Easton called for any faculty reactions to his proposal, the only comments were a few complimenting him “on your candor for
being so bold as to state these problems in public.” or urging that the motion be tabled pending further discussion. A motion to table the resolution w'as withdrawn, howrever.
In other business Dr. Carl Franklin. vice-president of university affairs, reported the Hoover Redevelopment Project is proceeding very well, and gave special encouragement that summer land clearances will enable the university “to keep above water as far as parking is concerned.”
The senate also received a committee report on faculty who left the university last year, indicating that the majority had gone to higher salaries and positions.

POLICE REPORT
Campus thievery totals $3,000
By JIM STRAIT Contributing Editor
During the first 19 days of this month, thieves stole just 10 cents less than $3,000 worth of property from the USC area.
Lo* Angeles Police Department statistics showed the $2,999.90 total Includes $1,658.45 in property taken from automobiles. These figures include only areas of the campus and the adjacent apartment areas where students live. Estimates of stolen property for the entire University Division are two to three time* this amount.
These figures indicate that burglary and theft from motor vehicles are again on the rise, although these crimes haven't reached the enormous totals that the police reported during the first part of last semester. During the five weeks following Sept.
1,	more than $10,000 worth of property was taken from cars.
Shortly after this statistic was compiled, the University Division, commanded by Capt. Charles Reese, requested assistance from the department’s special planning and operations team, the Metropolitan Division.
The Metropolitan Division staked out university parking areas, the Row and the main apartment complexes. The four day sweep brought in seven suspects, and effectively ended this rampage of theft that had plagued this area for so long.
However, immediately after the sweep the police said that the rate for this type of crime would rise again, and it has.
The police feel that the car owners do several things that make their cars better targets.
When students buy stereo tape
players they have them mounted usually under the dash in plain sight, rather than under the seat or in a glove compartment. Students also have the habit of leaving their cloth-ing and other valuables on the seat, instead of in the trunk. Other students have expensive mag wheels or special hub caps that are attractive to teenagers in the area.
The burglars, however, don’t limit themselves to stealing from autos. Some of the better examples of this are:
Neil Besner, 718% W. 30th St., was gone when his apartment was broken into and his Fender guitar and GE stereo were taken. The value of the property was estimated at $465.
Several other students had thefts of more than $200 occur at their apartments.
On March 6. Zeta Beta Tau fraternity reported that on March 1 or
2	(they weren’t sure which) someone removed $350 worth of lounge chairs and a coffee table from their lounge.
The thieves are not restricting their efforts to student housing, nor, apparently, are they all from the surrounding neighborhood. On March 8, David Gallup at the university library reported to the police that five days earlier at 3 p.m. a girl, dressed like a student, walked out of the library with a $130 typewriter belonging to the university.
Last Saturday, Dr. Robert Bils’ office in the Alan Hancock Foundation was broken into by a 14-year-old boy who stole a radio and cash totalling $20.
The Los Angeles Police arrested the boy.
Rape crimes have also been numerous in University Division during this month, although, none of the incidents have involved USC students.

He is somewhere between 18 and 39. a high school dropout and probably never married. He makes just a little more than $2,000 a year, and he’s been busted more than once.
He’s a child of the riots, known now as a Son of Watts, and for the past two years has been the subject of a doctoral dissertation by Douglas Glasgow, a Negro graduate of the School of Social Work.
Dr. Glasgow told the story of this hard-core Watts resident, the subject of numerous studies, investigations and reports since he struck out against society in 1965, in a talk on “New Aspirations of the Black Community” at yesterday’s Faculty Center Association luncheon.
When he had finished, a faculty member asked what he admitted to be “the $64,000 question — Are we going to have riots in Los Angeles and other cities this summer?”
Dr. Glasgow’ emphasized the need for massive aid programs before delivering his own $64,000 answer. “Yes. but I don’t know why everyone seems to think they won’t come before the summer.”
In that context, the importance of the young scholar’s study took on a new meaning for the Sons of Watts, an organization of more than 200 hard-core Watts residents, is a manisfestation of the trend toward consolidation of the black community.
Although the idea of black consolidation strikes fearful chords of panic with most whites, particularly those who now realize how close. Watts is to their own suburbs. Dr. Glaseow was enthusiastic.
“Primarily, it allows them to develop the identity of being black with the society that has closed them out and never allowed them to attain their ethnic identity,” he explained.
In the old, preriots Watts, he said, the Negro experienced a state of suspended existence, living in a sense of invisibility and alientation, with no availability to the means of the broader community.
His life style was adapted to the confined ghetto. He lived by the hustle, a means of exploiting his own and adjacent communities through actions functional only in his environment.
To the Watts resident, the riots were not a political or sociological debelopment but a subconscious social proces, a way of becoming “emerged in a whole new’ attitud’nal and psychological adaptation to life,” be said.
“Now he has a new kind of openness, a confrontation with the broader community. He never had so much attention before.”
But to hold off riots this year, he indicated, the attention will have to turn into dollars. And the broader community will have to confront the ghetto with major innovations in education, welfare and jobs.
