Trustees elect new veep for academic affairs
Dr. John R. Hubbard, director of the U.S. Educational Development program in India, has been elected vice-president for academic affairs by the Board of Trustees, the Daily Trojan learned yesterday.
The appointment was reported by Ed Hurst, chairman of the Forum for Student Awareness, in a letter. It was confirmed by W.S. Duniway, director of the news bureau. It had not been announced previously.
Dr. Hubbard’s appointment, made Feb. 5 by the trustees, is effective Sept. 1.
Dr. Hubbard served as dean of Newcomb College at Tulane University from 1953 to 1965. He was also professor of European history at Tulane from 1958 to 1965.
He received three degrees from the University of Texas and served as a visiting assistant professor of European history at Yale and Louisiana State University.
Hurst, chairman of the Forum for Student Awareness and an unannounced candidate for ASSC president, said he learned of the appointment from a member of the Board of Trustees.
He said he wrote the letter in response to a letter written by Fred Minnes, AMS president and an unannounced candidate for ASSC president. Minnes’ letter had called for filling the position.
Hurst said, “The Associated Students must be ready to suggest reasoned and responsible academic reforms for the consideration of the vice-president.”
He suggested several reforms including the establishment of an undergraduate research center similar to a center being funded at the California Institute of Technology by the Ford Foundation and the granting of academic credit for certain Experimental College courses.

LAPD called to Bovard during 'Paradise Now’
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA/TUESDAY, MARCH 4. 1969, VOL. LX, NO. 82
By VICKIE GARCIA
The epilogue to the Living Theatre’s performance of “Paradise Now” was on the campys streets about 1 a.m. Saturday morning.
Approximately 100 men from the University Division of the Los Angeles Police Department, five or six in each patrol car, were circling in front of Bovard Auditorium when the remaining audience of about 500 was called to the streets by the cast.
The police, equipped with riot helmets and shotguns, were called in when a dispute over payment in advance to the company delayed the opening of the auditorium for about an
PETITIONS DUE TODAY
Petitions for the ASSC, AMS and AWS elections are due today at the YWCA. No petitions will be accepted after 4 p.m:
Campaigning for the eight ASSC positions and four AMS and AWS offices will begin Monday. Primary elections will be held March
18	and final elections March 25.
hour, Sgt. Richard Kalk, University Division of the LAPD, said.
He said that there was a threat to university property as the waiting crowd estimated at 2,000 was growing hostile. He said he did not know who called in the LAPD. The campus police refused to comment.
The LAPD had not yet arrived when the cast agreed to perform and the auditorium was opened at 9:30 p.m.
The Living Theatre’s productions of “Mysteries,” scheduled for Saturday night, and “Paradise Now,” to be the final show as part of the Festival of the Arts, on Sunday, were cancelled by the university.
However, the official reason for the shows’ cancellation did not involve the threat to university property or the content of “Paradise Now,” but that the safety of the audience could not be insured when fire and safety regulations were broken—not by the cast, but by the audience.
After a discourse on freedom, anarchy and the free theater, the audience was encouraged to come on stage. Some followed the example set by the cast and stripped to their underwear.
The crowd on stage grew to about 250 with some participating in the chanting of Om, a rhythmic dance, and the Magic Love-Zap, in which people dive from a platform and are caught by members of the cast on the cue of “free, free, free, fly.”
While a large number of the audience had left by midnight, the fire marshal told some of the cast that the people on the stage would have to leave because of
the fire hazard. People had also gathered in the. area of the orchestra pit to get a better view of the happening on stage, violating a clause in the special permit for the show.
ROSENZWEIG TO ENTER RACE
Joel Rosenzweig will become the second student to enter the campaign for the ASSC presidency.
Rosenzweig, an independent, told the members of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority last night that he plans to file his petition for the office today.
He will discuss his proposals in detail this afternoon at 4 in the YWCA.
Admitting that it might seem a little strange for an independent to be making his first campaign address before a Greek organization, Rosenzweig said that the Thetas he had talked to seemed to agree with his campaign philosophy.
"The Row people are tired of typical, ordinary campaigns," he said. "I'm not going to run a typical campaign. I'm not going to wear the thin ties. I'm not going to wear the suits. I'm not going to play games—I'm going to run straight all the time.
In his five-minute talk, Rosenzweig proposed reforms in both community and entertainment programs.
Rosenzweig is a member of Trojan Knights and during the fall semester served as chairman of Troy Week and president of the Trojan Young Democrats.
ANTENNA DAMAGED
Rain hampers KUSC
Leader of dorm food protest dissatisfied by 1st showing
The first night of a proposed three-day boycott of dinner meals at Birnkrant Hall was not as successful as expected, Caryn Brady, its leader, said last night.
“I don’t think it was successful enough to make much affect on the cafeteria food,” she said. “I am hoping for more of a response the next two days.”
She said the boycott was started because of the poor quality of food. It will continue through tomorrow night.
“The problem, 1 think, is that people don’t understand what’s behind the boycott—how it works,” Miss Brady said.
“At other universities it has worked because of a law that says that the cafeteria must give out a certain amount of food in order to be paid for it through the contract. If the students boycott and the food is not given out, the cafeteria can’t collect the money for it, and therefore they lose, even though the students already paid for the food.
“The food’s lousy,” complained Loretta Cox. a senior. “I never heard of the meats they serve here. In fact, I don’t even know what kind of meat it is. I’m getting sick of it.”
Those who are not participating in the boycott said they are doing so because they find nothing wrong with the cafeteria's food, and they didn’t want to spend the extra money on food outside the cafeteria.
“I don’t see any need in it,” said Steve Shaw, a junior business major, and another student said that the students should realize that cafeteria food is institutionalized and cannot be changed.
Rain may make the trees grow and flowers bloom, and wash away the Los Angeles smog, but it also endangers the life of KUSC, the student-operated radio station on campus.
KUSC has had to go off the air for five days because the station’s 23-year-old antenna has been “arching out” or catching on fire whenever it gets wet.
The obsolete design and old age of the antenna, situated on top of the Hancock Building, have become major problems lately, only to become more pronounced during February’s rain, Doug Peck, station manager, said.
The antenna also has been catching on fire during dry weather and the station now runs at half its licensed power so the antenna will not be burned out completely.
Peck said if KUSC is to continue broadcasting, the old antenna must be replaced and possibly relocated, which would cost between $5,000 and $8,000.
Presently the station cannot come on the air until 3:30 p.m during the weekdays because the transmitter interferes with equipment in other departments.
By relocating the antenna and transmitter off campus in Baldwin Hills, Palos Verdes or on Mt. Wilson, the station could come on the air earlier, Mitch Kampf, operations director, said.
The annual budget for KUSC is $7,000, probably one of the lowest yearly budgets that any college radios have, Kampf said.
Talks with the administration have not resulted in a change in the budget, Peck said.
“I don’t think they realize what KUSC means to the community and what listener support we have,” he added.
Peck said that KUSC has a potential audience of 9 million listeners, which is one of the
largest audiences except for New York University.
KUSC operates on 17,000 watts which gives the station an audience range over all of Southern California.
At the present time the radio station is also using equipment that other stations have discarded.
Peck estimated that the station needs an initial $35,000 for complete stereo remodeling and a $20,000 annual budget after that.
12 set for summer study at Cambridge
Twelve USC students have been selected to participate in the summer course for foreign students at Cambridge University in England July 9 to Aug. 6.
Named for the program are Michael John Biber, Roger P. Kingsley, Joanne Knispel, Jeffrey Dale Lewis, Andrienne Dawn Maravich, William Lloyd Mauk, James Floyd Nelson, Robin Alexandra Nicklin, Matt Pasternak, Kathryn Payson Ripley, Adina Lei Savin and Robin Wallace.
Selected as alternates are Steven Milton Day, Daniel Ronald Levinson, Lawrence F. Meyer and Cheryl Ann
Pratt. For the past nine years, a USC delegation has been among the foreign students who go to Cambridge.
Participating students live with British students and participants from other nations. They enroll in a course on modern Britain and participate in seminars on British institutions, international relations and 20th century poetry and fiction.
Most of the courses are taught by the Cambridge faculty. However, professors from other British universities, as well as authorities on British institutions, are also involved in the program.
