Committee closes Alumni Park study
By RON SMITH
An ad hoc committee of the Student Activities Committee, which investigated the SDS-student clash in Alumni Park on Nov. 14. will make six recommendations to the Student Activities Committee today.
In order to establish substance for recommendations, the committee called as witnesses the two co-chairmen of SDS, Steve Rados, leader of the student group, and Daniel Nowak, dean of men, as a representative of the administration.
The recomendations of the committee are.
•	That the statements on Student Rights and Responsibilities and Student Dissent be approved and implemented as soon as possible in order to provide a general foundation for the maintenance of free speech on campus;
•	That the Student Activities Committee should take upon itself the obligation to make known those standards of behavior which it considers essential to an educational atmosphere and an orderly community life;
•	That the present rights of free speech on campus be publicized;
•	That the present channels to be followed when a student feels that university policy or civil law is being violated on campus be publicized;
•	That in the light of reasonable evidence to indicate that the speakers’ policy was violated by SDS-Resistance on Nov. 14, the dean of students be
requested to give appropriate consideration to the alleged violation in line with present university disciplinary procedures;
•	That the Student Activities Com-mitee be advised of the involvement of the Resistance (an unrecognized group) in the Nov. 14 meeting, and that this involvement be noted at the time that the Resistance petition for recognition be decided.
Currently, the statement on Student Rights and Responsibilities is before the Faculty Senate and the statement on Student Dissent is before the Student Life Committee. Both statements must ultimately be approved by the President Topping.
The members of the committee said that both statements contain relevant policy information which would be effective in dealing with incidents similar to that of Nov. 14.
Larry Kulesza, co-chairman of SDS, was first asked if his organization did have a speaker in Alumni Park. He replied: “Yes, the meeting was an organizational thing and it was planned that way. Father Melvillee (a former Catholic priest) was our only off-campus speaker and we didn’t fill out a request to have him speak.”
Questioned if his group was threatened in any way, Kulesza said: “I, as an individual student, had my rights violated. I was threatened with physical violence and my organization
Fantasies color life, psychologist claims
By KATHY KELLY
People today don’t listen to other people without interpreting what is being said through their own fantasies, Dr. Carl Faber, clinical psychologist and professor at UCLA, told a small audience in Hancock last night.
Dr. Faber went on to explain how this is reflected in parents’ attitude in their attempt to give their children direction in life.
In his speech, which was billed as “The Drug Scene,” Dr. Faber covered a variety of topics, ranging from the perennial question of “What is the purpose of life?” to the problems of the generation gap and the reasons for the increased use of drugs on college campuses today.
Dr. Faber described life as a maze and said, “All of us are wandering through a maze because all of us are wandering through life.” He added, “We find our way through this maze by finding the soul thread.”
Everyone has a different maze, he said, and we “must learn how we best feel and learn with soul thread to get clues to where life will take you.”
Getting around to what was the topic of the speech, Dr. Faber said that the whole phenomena fits into the maze in that students try to find meaning and direction to life
“They want to discover beauty, find God and to study the opening up of the mind.” he said.
He also offered another reason why they take drugs: “They search not only for clues, but for passion. I call this the Orange County syndrome. They want to feel something. Many feel pain and they love it because their parents only teel pleasantness.”
He said another reason students use drugs is because, “the culture does not allow any other way to find out the meaning of life.
“The ethical questions that students ask today are not answered but with cliches by both parents and institutions. For many parents those cliches worked. Students today think about the meaning of life in ways people in their 40’s and 50’s never have.”
SIX TO BE NAMED
was unable to regroup so that we could carry on our meeting.
“And there were no campus police present to protect us,” he said.
“In a case like this, you need something more than a rule—you need something like individual integrity,” Kulesza said.
Rados told the committee that he knew about the draft-card tum-in two to three weeks before it actually occurred. He said that he couldn’t figure out why the university hadn’t prepared itself to take action when it was clear that the speaker policy was violated.
“We didn’t think that they had the right to use the private grounds of the university to break the law,” Rados said. “What they did was an un-American activity.”
“By associating with USC, they (SDS-Resistance) are associating their activity with my name, with the faculty and with the administration,” he said.
Rados said that the Resistance is an officially recognized group on campus and that it slipped past university policy by being associated with SDS.
Asked why he did not contact some representative of the university administration to break up the meeting, Rados answered: “By the time that it would have taken the university to act, the meeting would have been over.
“There are only three campus policemen on duty at lunch time (when the meeting took place), and one high official (of the university) has told me that the campus is not equipped to prevent something like this.”
“I don’t feel that I was taking the law into my own hands—I was just being American,” he said.
Rados was asked by the committee, if, to his knowledge, any threats were exchanged. “The atmosphere was tense, but not threatening,” he replied. “If there were any threats, I’m sure that they were just used as figures of speech,” he said.
Dan Poposki, the other co-chairman of SDS, confirmed that the draft card turn-in was sponsored jointly by SDS and the Resistance.
On the matter of bringing in a speaker, Poposki said: “I had foreknowledge that the university has a policy against this.”
He said that he heard no outright threats of violence and that the meeting was broken up when the Rados group began dismantling SDS’s sound equipment.
“Our people realized that if they did stay, that other things would happen,” he said.
Poposki suggested that the students, faculty and administration should together implement a rule which would prevent the breaking up of meetings in the future.
Dean Nowak told the committee that there was a rule concerning the breaking up of a meeting, although it may not be as extensive as it should be.
Song girl finals tonight
IFinal song girl tryouts will be held tonight at 6 o’clock in the Student Activities Center, song girls and two alternates will be selected from the 16 girls still in the running after the first elimination Monday night.
The final selection tonight will be made on the basis of judging of an original skit each girl has made up.
'COLLEGE BOUND’ VISIT USC TODAY
Seventy-five students from Jefferson High School will tour the campus today with members of Alpha Phi Omega, the national service fraternity.
The students are members of the Future College Students Club, a high school group which has been working with Alpha Phi Omega's program, "College Bound."
The tour will include a lecture by Dr. J. Wesley Robb, professor of religion, lunch on the Row, and group discussions on the students' respective fields of interest.
The girls will be scored on specific criteria by the judges. Penny Ward, senior, head song girl this year, Kay Crawford, song girl coach at Santa Monica City College, and Dr. Lois Ellfeldt, professor of physical education.
Eliminations Monday night were based on the girls’ performance in a routine applicants were given to practice two weeks ago. The routine was selected by the present song girls.
“The routine for the first cuts was a very excellent and very difficult routine, and this might have something to do with the fact that only 25 out of the original 80 who were given it showed up,” said Lindley Bothwell, yell leader coach.
Bothwell said that the change over of judging techniques from a large to a small number at the last minute might be one reason for anonymous charges of “unfairness” and “unclear criteria” that were made to the Daily Trojan.
“However we asked the girls if they wanted to make up their own routines instead, they were allowed to repeat the routines if they wished, and more or less do as they wanted,” he said. “I don’t think we made any mistakes. I imagine someone who didn’t make it was disappointed.”

WORST OUTBREAK YET
New violence hits S.F.
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)—Club-swinging police routed demonstrators armed with metal table legs, bottles and rocks on the San Francisco State College campus.
At least 20 militants were arrested and scores injured in the violence—the worst in the troubled school’s history.
One officer was seriously injured when struck with a chair leg.
Under get-tough regulations imposed by acting president S.I. Hayakawa, more than 300 officers were mobilized to disperse 4,000 students who had gathered on the campus commons in spite of Hayakawa's ban on demonstrations.
As the officers advanced upon the commons, demonstrators responded by throwing rocks, bottles, foodtrays
Local coed is Disneyland Ambassador
Shari Bescos, a 21-year-oW education major, has been chosen to be Disneyland’s 1969 Ambassador to the world.
Shtti, who competed with 50 other Disneyland hostesses for the title, was selected as the one best able to personify the spirit of Disneyland.
During the coming year, she will be traveling throughout the United States and abroad as a representative of the Walt Disney organization and will serve as the park’s official hostess.
A Covina resident, Shari began working at Disneyland in 1966 as a ticket seller. Since then, she has
Bothwell said that Miss Crawford, was chosen because of her 32 years experience in song girl coaching. He said “In almost every instance she agreed with Dr. Ellfeldt. I don’t think different methods would have gotten different results. It is very easy for someone with experience to tell by watching a girl’s performance how much coordination and experience she has.”
'Imaginary Invalid’ tickets now on sale

and legs wrenched from metal tables and chairs. The demonstrators, including girls, also screamed obscenities at the riot-equipped officers.
At several points, students wearing blue armbands, symbolizing their support of Hayakawa, battled with rebel students wearing red armbands.
After order was restored, police left the campus. But within 30 minutes they returned to again disperse demonstrators attempting to hold another rally and smashing windows in the business and social science building.
One officer, Paul Juul, was struck with a half-inch cast iron chair leg, suffering a possible broken neck. His condition was described by police as “very serious.”
Another officer was felled by a thrown brick.
Officers chased demonstrators into the library building at one point. “Don’t grab me,” cried one youth on the library stairs as he was collared and clubbed.
Hayakawa’s Plea for demonstrators to disperse went unheeded.
“This is your acting president,” Hayakawa said on the school’s loudspeaker system. “If you want police off the campus, please disperse. This is an unlawful assembly.”
The disruption came on the fourth anniversary of the free speech movement at neighboring University of California in Berkeley. In a massive sit-in at Sproul Hall, 814 demonstrators were arrested and shock waves of the student unrest spread around the world.
The little English professor was selected as the third president this year by state college trustees in a move to quell sporadic uproar at the
18,0	00-Student campus. Militants went on strike Nov. 6 and subsequently forced the resignation of Dr. Robert K Smith as president.
Hayakawa, a world-, renowned semanticist had the full support of
Gov. Ronald Reagan for his hard-line policy.
“Dr. Hayakawa has shown great courage,” Reagan said. “As the majority (of students) comes to realize that the school can be kept open, they will rally to his support.”
At a news conference in the Ecumenical House, adjacent to the
S.I.	Hayakawa, the embattled acting president of San Francisco State College, declined a professorship in the USC School of Public Administration which he was offered in March.
Dr. William Williams, director of the Center for Social Action, said that Hayakawa had been asked to teach a 4-unit class here one day each week without severing his tie with the state college.
campus, eight members of the Negro community said they could speak with more authority than either Hayakawa or Reagan regarding the college’s Black Student Union.
“We support the aims of the BSU as represented by their 10 demands emphatically and unequivocally,” they said.
The BSU demands included unlimited enrollment of Negroes regardless of their qualifications and reinstatement of Black Panther George Mason Murray, a part-time instructor and graduate student. Murray was suspended Nov. 1 after he urged minority students to bring guns on campus to defend themselves against “Racist administrators.”
Hayawaka reassigned Murray to non-teaching duties in the downtown extension campus, but the militant instead participated in a noon rally Monday. Late in the day, Hayakawa announced Murray’s re-suspension for another 30 day period.
Flu not threat here, Health Center says
worked holidays, vacations and
summers. This year she began working week-ends as well.
She is currently student teaching at a school for underprivileged children. She also teaches scuba diving to students at USC. Shari is a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, and the Quarterback Club.
She enjoys working at Disneyland because “I have a chance to talk to so many wonderful people.” She said, “You would be surprised how many stop to talk to a girl in the booth. Most of all, I enjoy working with so many other happy young people.”
Shari received her insignia as ambassador in ceremonies at Sleeping Beauty’s Castle in the park from Sally Sharbin, the 1968 Ambassador, who has traveled more than 50,000 miles during her year in office.
The Hong Kong flu isn’t a threat to USC, Dr. Paul Greeley, medical director of the Student Health Center, said yesterday.
Dr. Greeley believes that reports that the unique strain of the age-old nemesis may cause a statewide epidemic are premature.
He said that only 17 documented cases of Hong Kong flu have been reported as yet.
Dr. Greeley stressed that the Hong Kong flu symptoms are similar to those of other more well-known strains of influenza.
“Consequently, unless samples are sent to the state laboratory for clinical analysis, positive identification of exactly what strain of influenza a person has contracted is a difficult proposition,” Dr. Greeley said.
A person who has come in contact with the Hong Kong virus usually doesn’t have to wait long before feeling the effects. The characteristic symptoms, pronounced chills, high fever, vertigo and headache, come on suddenly. In many cases an hour is all it takes to put a victim in bed.
The well known routine: plenty of rest, aspirin and fluids, is about all that doctors can recommend for those who
are suffering from any of the known strains of influenza, including the Hong Kong variety.
Dr. Greeley added that the Asian flu vaccine would not guard those who wish to avoid the Hong Kong strain from getting the new virus.
GUITAR CONCERT SET TONIGHT
Christopher Parkening, a senior and instructor of guitar, will hold a guitar recital tonight in Town and Gown at 8 o'clock. The selections will include modern compositions and some of Bach.
The concert will be the second in a series being presented by the ASSC Cultural Affairs Council. Admission for students will be $1.50 and for non-students $2.
Parkening was a student under Andreas Segovia, who is known as the world's greatest classical guitarist. He was also Segovia's youngest student. Parkening also records for Capitol Records.
