31 financial aid openings
By MIKE PARFIT
Editor
Mike de la Pena, president of United Mexican-American Students (UMAS), said yesterday that he was satisfied with the administration offer of 31 scholarship slots for the coming semester.
The slots have been offered to UMAS and the Black Students Union (BSU), which have been working together during the fall semester to get the university to admit more minority students.
The drive culminated on Dec. 13, when the BSU and UMAS presented the university with a list of four demands, including the demand that the university admit 50 black and 50 brown students on scholarships next semester.
At the same time the two groups made their demands, the university offered th 31 openings.
De la Pena said he was pleased about the slots, but said he would insist that UMAS be allowed to choose the students to fill its quota, and that the organization would continue to push for full implementation of the demands for the fall semester.
“We can show them that we have plenty of students with the required grades,” he said.
De la Pena also reported that two classes relating to Mexican-Americans are being planned for next semester.
The four demands were made after what the two groups called a fruitless series of negotiations between them and the administration.
“Meetings have been held to date with the dean of students, the financial aid office, the office of admissions, the admissions committee, the executive officers and the president,” a fact sheet put out by
the groups reads. “The results of these meetings to date—NOTHING.”
Dr. Paul Bloland, dean of students, said yesterday that he was surprised when the two groups made their demands.
“The progress would have been made without the
THE DEMANDS
1.	Admission and full tuition remission for 50 black and 50 brown qualified disadvantaged students for the Spring semester of 1969.
2.	Establishment of an ongoing program for scholarships for marginal minority students to be initiated in the Fall of 1969 at which time 200 students are to be admitted.
3.	Establishment and implementation of black and brown curricula which have already been submitted.
4.	The Black Studies course to begin in the Spring of 1969 will be taught by a black man. One of the three black men listed below are our ONLY choices:

demands,” he said. “It is my overall impression that UMAS and the BSU were proceeding properly and appropriately in the fall semester. Their procedures had yielded results before the demands.”
But the demands have been made. “They were requests before,” de la Pena said. “This is just a stronger way of putting them.”
The strength of the wording is without doubt: They are demands. But de la Pena was less enthusiastic about the numerical strength of the organizations which made the demands.
He estimated that UMAS numbered about 15. The BSU, it was estimated, had about 125 members. But in spite of the small size of the groups demanding change, the administration has apparently at least listened carefully.
“They’ve heard our requests, they’ve had conferences with us, they’ve made themselves available to us as far as meetings are concerned,” said a BSU member. “But there hasn’t been any progress.” Progress relating to the primary demand, that of furnishing 100 scholarships, will depend primarily on money.
Dean Bloland said that at USC there is no method to simply waive tuition. “That’s not the way you finance a private school,” he said. Instead, each scholarship must be paid for. Very simply, he continued, the cost of educating 100 students for four years would be $720,000.
“We usually have a total of only 100 openings each fall in the entire scholarship program,” he said.
Meanwhile, de la Pena and the two minority groups will continue to press their demands. “Our first purpose on this campus is to get more minority students here,” de la Pena said.

Experimental College 'Of Black America' series opens tonight
By JAN HUNSINGER
“Of Black America,” a series of special programs sponsored by the Experimental College, will be presented tonight through Jan. 15 at 7:30 p.m. in Student Activities Center 205.
Students and the community are invited to attend. Admission is free.
Each program will begin with a film, a documentary made by CBS newsmen and presented on the network last summer.
Following the film, there will be a panel discussion with representatives of various viewpoints discussing issues related to the film theme. Basketball star Lew Alcindor of UCLA is tentatively scheduled for one of the panels. Organization will be informal to encourage a high degree of audience participation.
The films are designed to bring to light all points of view from radical to reactionary. Panel members have been selected purposely to advocate different, often clashing viewpoints.
Steve Foldes, chairman of the Experimental College, said “The
Folk duo to appear tomorrow
Mr. and Mrs. Garvey, a country folk duo from Colorado, will be in Bovard tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. as part of the ASSC Entertainment Committee’s Small Concert Series.
Tickets are $1.50 for general admission and $2.50 for reserved seats. Tickets will be on sale today and tomorrow at the Bovard box office.
The Garvey’s (Pat and Victoria) sound has been described as “folk, baroque, almost vaudevilleian, comical, beautiful. Sousaish and hoe-downy ...” by the University Daily Kansan.
Their recent album is entitled Mr. and Mrs. Garvey. The Garveys and their band, “The Solid Muldoon,” perform such songs as “It’s Quite a Lovely Painting, Mrs. Custer, I’m Sorry Things Turned Out That Way for George,” and “Orange Nickelodeon.”
“Our songs are our biography. They reflect us, our attitudes and the things around us,” the Garvevs say.
The Garveys original intention was to specialize in songs about the 19th-Century West, but what evolved is difficult to label.
They have played at Disneyland, the Troubadour, the Ice House in Pasadena and the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, as well as other spots across the country.
Also appearing will be Robbie Basho, a classical folk-guitarist, who specializes on a 12 string guitar.
College is responding to a need for a more intense examination of issues relating to both biack and white students in the wake of tensions following the murder of Brian Clay and the recent demands of the Black Student Union.”
Tonight’s program is entitled “Black History: Lost, Stolen or Strayed.” The film, narrated by Bill Cosby, probes the history of attitudes towards the Negro.
Panel members for this subject will include Dr. Barbara Solomon, a black professor of the Graduate School of Social Work who lives in the area around USC; Bob Silva, a sophomore member of the Black Student Union and a former chairman of the Community Action Co-ordinating Council; and Nancy Wint. a senior and co-chairman of the Institute Against White Racism.
Wednesday’s program, “The Heritage of Slavery” is a report of the attitudes established during the slave era which persist today.
For panel discussion following the film there will be a member of the
Urban League; Ron McDuffie, member of the Black Student Union and newly-appointed ASSC Vice President of programs; and Wayne Howard, a member of Sigma Nu fraternity.

Diamond drops law suit over Rose Bowl tickets
Roger Diamond has dropped his $36,000 law suit against USC, in which he contended that first-time economy ticket holders were denied some 3,000 Rose Bowl tickets.
According to the Ticket Office, Diamond and all the other first-time economy season ticket holders were given applications for the tickets, and everyone who turned in his form was allowed tickets.
Diamond first brought the suit against the school on Dec. 9, after he had been informed that all first-time economy ticket holders would not be allowed to purchase tickets to the New
Year’s Day game. He claimed that he was originally given the option to buy a Bowl game ticket when he bought his season tickets.
Once allowed to purchase the tickets, he dropped the suit.
“As far as I’m concerned, the suit was for Rose Bowl tickets, and the Rose Bowl Tickets came,” he said.
“There was never any animosity between USC and myself. Everyone got their applications in sufficient time to buy their tickets, and we all get to see the game in person,” said Diamond.
CLAY SUSPECTS ARE INDICTED
Three suspects have been indicted by the Grand Jury in the murder of Brian Clay, USC freshman.
Tha suspects, George E. Williams, 21, Douglas Turnbeau, 26, and George W. Jordan, 30, were indicted Dec. 20.

The suspects were arrested within a week of the stabbing.
JUST ANOTHER FAN-Over 100,000 fans jammed the
Rose Bowl Jan. 1. Some of them had to drop work on some
weighty problems to see the game and others had to travel long distances. For one famous fan, it was both.

J-Council
reaffirms selection
In a special meeting of the Journalism Council last Friday a recommendation that Mike Parfit, editor of the Daily Trojan, be retained for the spring semester, was reaffirmed by a vote of 7-0-1.
The action came after Dr. Topping, who reviews the decisions of the Journalism Council, requested that it reconvene to reconsider the recommendation for editor.
Dr. Topping had rejected the original council recommendation, urging that the two ASSC vice-presidents be able to take part in deciding the new editor.
The two ASSC officers walked out of a November meeting of the council, apparently under the impression that they would not be allowed to vote. The vice-presidents had been informed that a recommendatio which would prevent them from voting “so as to preserve the balance of students and faculty on the council” had been sent to Dr. Topping.
But last week Dr. Topping sent a communique to Fred Coonradt, acting director of the School of Journalism and chairman of the Journalism Council, saying that the ASSC officers should be allowed to vote. He also requested that another session of the council be called to review their editor selection.
When the meeting opened. Bill Mauk, ASSC president, insisted that the Journalism Council is not representative and that it should be reformed before it made any further recommendations to Dr. Topping.
“Parfit will be selected because of the composition of the Journalism Council and not because of his record,” Mauk said. “And that’s a lousy, unrepresentative system.”
In a meeting held Dec. 17, a committee was formed to look into the financing of the Daily Trojan. The members are Ron McDuffie, interim vice-president of programs. Bob Ennis, graduate representative. Bill Dicke, city editor, and Mike Parfit. editor.
The committee is to research the operations of other universities' publications. A report is to be given at the next council meeting, which is set for Feb. 4.
