By LARRY SHEINGOLD
Composite drawings in the Clay murder case, based on descriptions by witnesses to the knifing, have been released through the University Division of the Los Angeles Police Department.
Police said the three involved are Negro, one of them 5-11’ tall and the others 6-1. All apparently were dressed like students, wearing windbreakers and Levi-type pants.
McDuffie appointed V.P.
Ron McDuffie, junior class representative, was appointed acting vice-president of programs yesterday by Bill Mauk, ASSC president.
McDuffie replaces Matt Pasternak, who resigned to take a more active part in the Committee Against Institutional Racism. McDuffie will remain in the post until a new vice-president can be elected by the ASSC Executive Council.
Applications for the office are now available in the ASSC office. The deadline for returning the applications is Jan. 14. Applicants must have a 2.5 grade average and have completed 90 units of class work.
Mauk cited three reasons for appointing McDuffie:
e McDuffie is ineligible to be elected to the office by the council.
e McDuffie is a member of the Executive Council and
knows the programs of the ASSC.
e “Ron will facilitate a continuity in the office until the election,” Mauk said.
Mauk also announced that the entire program side of the ASSC will be reorganized.
‘ ‘We plan to create six committee chairmanships and ask certain other chairmen to resign,” he said. “The reorganization will lay the groundwork for the new vice-president to move in.” McDuffie said, “Pasternak did a good job, he just felt he had priorities elsewhere.”
McDuffie’s main objectives in the next three weeks will be to standardize the programs and formulate written policy.
“This will not to a from-the-top-down operation,” he said. “We have some good committee chairmen who know what is needed.”
McDuffie said he is not
interested in running for the office next year.. “I can’t see myself doing it. It’s too confined to administrative matters.”

TOPPING URGES STUDENTS TO RESPECT POLICE
President Norman Topping urged yesterday that students cooperate with both campus and Los Angeles police to insure adequate protection.
He said that now, shortly after the murder of Brian Clay, most students are concerned about police protection but that prior to the murder there had been little such concern, and even less cooperation.
He cited the incident on the Row in October as an example of students not cooperating with the police. Eleven students were arrested for refusing to disperse in that incident.

“Becket,” starring Peter O’Toole and Richard Burton, will be presented by the DKA Film Festival at 7 and 9:15 tonight in Founders Hall 133. Admission is 75 cents.
Capt. Thomas W. Sena of the University Division, said that the investigation is proceeding in an orderly manner but he preferred not to comment on any progress which might have been made.
“We’re doing a lot of leg work right now,” Sena said. “There have been 10 men out for the last three nights trying to contact all possible witnesses. Especially important are the people who have information which they don’t consider important enough to phone in.
“Until things dry up, we’ll be going full bore,” Sena added. “We’ve called some people from the Metropolitan Division downtown to aid in the investigation.”
Sena stressed that cases of this sort have historically been difficult to solve. “It goes out of the dark and then back into the dark without any relation between the suspects and the victim,” he said.
The composite drawings, done by officer Jim Murdock, were taken from the descriptions of six witnesses. Four witnesses are USC students. But Sena said that the pictures, being only impressions, might have no resemblance to the persons involved.
Memorial services for Clay are scheduled for noon today in the University Church. Dr. John E. Cantelon, university chaplain, and S. Ru disill, university Lutheran pastor, will conduct the service. The Trojan Chorale will appear.

Journalism council to admit nonmajors
The Journalism Council, in a special meeting held yesterday, found it desirable to have representation by students outside the School of Journalism on the council.
A recommendation sent to Dr. Topping, the publisher of the Daily Trojan, read in part: “The Journalism Council considers it desirable to have representation by students outside the School of Journalism, but is opposed to having those members come from the student government because of the danger of political influence on the Daily Trojan. The council is studying means of setting up such student representation and will make a proposal to this effect at a later date.”
The action came following discussion of what involvement, if any, the Associated Students of Southern California should have in the Daily Trojan.
In the Nov. 19 meeting, the council passed a recommendation, which was later sent to Dr. Topping, that would give the two ASSC representatives on the council non-voting status. This was done, according to the recommendation, in order to preserve the balance of faculty and student members.
The Statement of Policy for the Operation of the Daily Trojan requires that the council be made up of equal numbers of
students and faculty. The policy statement is drawn up by the council with Dr. Topping’s approval.
The council will meet again Tuesday in Student Union 418. Ope of its main responsibilities is to nominate the editor of the newspaper for Dr. Topping’s approval. It has nominated Mike Parfit for the spring editorship.
