Geologist confident no quake
Don’t worry, USC isn’t going anywhere.
At least according to Dr. David Henyey, assistant professor of geological sciences. He said yesterday that April 8, the day predicted for an earthquake which will destroy all of California west of the San Andreas fault, will pass just like any other Tuesday.
Henyey based his outlook on the fact that it is geophysically impossible for Southern California to slide away from the continent, even with the massive San Andreas fault lying beneath it. He said the fault runs north to south and not east to west.
“Not even science can predict large earthquakes with any certainty, so I can’t see how these hippie groups can,” he said.
Henyey warned, however, that geophysicists believe Southern California may be due for a fairly large earthquake.
“The rest of the San Andreas fault has moved about two inches per year. The section of the fault in Southern California has not moved much and is ready for a big slip,” Henyey said.
He went on to say, however, that this quake will not result in the type of devastation described by the hippie groups.
“Continents are increasing in size, and this type of destruction will probably not be seen,” Henyey said.

ROBERT C. WEAVER
Talk to cover city dilemmas
Robert C. Weaver, former secretary of housing and urban development, will be on campus today for two speeches.
“New Dilemmas in Urban America” will be the topic of his speech, sponsored by the Great Issues Forum, at 1:30 p.m. in Bovard Auditorium.
At 7:30 p.m., he will continue his discussion of urban planning and development in the “Urban Problems and Challenges 1969” series in Founders Hall 133.
Weaver, the first Negro never appointed to a presidential cabinet, is now president of Bernard M. Baruch College in New York City.
When Weaver accepted his post at Baruch College in 1968, he said that he hoped to develop “an institution which will become the prototype of the urban university as an idea gathering and an action-imple-mentation center for meeting the paramount domestic challenge of our time.”
As president of the college, Weaver said he is striving to make Baruch an effective urban university that will not only encourage the generation of new concepts for solving urban problems, but will also stimulate effective new patterns and develop new skills.
The week-long campaign period for ASSC offices comes to a close today and tomorrow as voters go to the polls.
Polling booths will be in front of Bovard Auditorium, in Hoover Park between the men’s and women’s dormitory complex, and in front of the International House at the corner of University Avenue and 28th Street. Voting will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Before voting, students must present their student identification cards at any one of the locations.
Pat Lawless, elections commissioner, expects the turnout to be larger than last year, when 1,927 students voted in the primary elections.
Tomorrow an additional polling booth will be added at the Medical School campus, 2025 Zonal Ave., from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The results will be available sometime after 10 p.m. Wednesday after elections commission personnel count the ballots, and after the Elections Board of Inquiry validates the primary election.
Runoffs, if necessary, will be held March 26.
“I hope there are a lot more people voting than last year,” Lawless said. “If students are going to have a voice in student government, and if they’re going to criticize, they should take the power they have to choose who they’re going to criticize.”
Twenty-nine candidates, both formal and write-in, and vying for 12 offices. However, most of the publicity has centered around the presidential race.
“I think there has been a lot more stress this year on public talking and dialogue, whereas in the
FACULTY VOTES IN APRIL
past, presidential candidates tried to see how much money they could spend on posters and buttons,” Lawless said.
Lawless said he has tenatively planned another confrontation between the two remaining presidential candidates for Monday noon in the Open Forum area, assuming that the race goes to a runoff.
Candidates must poll more than 50 per cent of the votes cast for their particular office^The two top vote getters will meet in the runoff.
The following voter opinion poll, with eight yes and no questions, will be distributed with ballots today and tomorrow:
•	Do you approve of residence hall regulations which place the university in loco parentis?
•	Would you favor residence hall regulations established solely by the student governing councils of women’s and men’s halls?
•	Do you approve of the presently existing residence hall regulations regarding lock-out, sign-out and visitation?
•	Do you approve of the student government dealing with political issues?
•	Do you think USC is meeting its responsibilities as an urban university?
•	Would you be willing to pay an extra $4 per semester for scholarships for minority students?
Do you approve of raising the number of graduate students of the Executive Council from four to six?
•	Do you feel that graduate representatives on the Executive Council should be increased to better reflect the graduate student composition of the student body?
Speakers ’ Policy awaits OK
A reworked Speakers’ Policy has been drafted by the Student Life Committee of the ASSC, endorsed by the Student Activities Committee, and passed on to the Faculty Senate for approval.
The Student Life Committee, which is composed of eight students, 10 faculty-administra-tion representatives and two trustees, has been working on he revised policy since September.
The reworked policy will probably not come up for consideration until the April meeting of the Faculty Senate,
Dr. Robert L. Brackenbury, professor of education and president of the Faculty Senate, said.
If the Faculty Senate endorses the policy, it will then go to President Norman Topping and the Board of Trustees for final approval.
Following is the proposed policy:

2nd bitch-in hits liberal arts
ASSC President Bill Mauk, sporting a cigar and the beginnings of a new beard, opens yesterday's
bitch-in by bitching in grand style about USC's "irrelevant" liberal arts programs.

Yesterday’s bitch-in featured everything from gripes about the liberal arts programs to the Living Theatre to election endorsements.
Held in the Open Forum area, the “Son of Bitch-in” followed the first bitch-in by only three weeks.
First to speak to the several hundred students who had gathered was Bill Mauk, ASSC president, who aparently is planning to end thy year the same way he started it—with a beard.
Mauk’s principal bitch was the liberal arts program.
“We in the liberal arts are being given a raw deal,” he said. “What I’ve been learning is not relevant to me. I’ve been here for four years now, and all I’ve learned is shit.”

responsibility to provide a forum for ideas for all members of its academic community.
University-recognized student organizations may select persons they wish to invite as guest speakers with no restrictions to control the point of view expressed by speakers other than those imposed by law. An invitation to an outside speaker does not imply approval or sponsorship of his views by the university nor necessarily by the organization inviting him.
The university, having the formal authority and responsibility for the conduct of activities on the campus, shall regulate only time, place and manner of such speaking opportunities, and then only out of consideration that the occasion be conducted in a manner appropriate to the academic community.
Administrative Procedures
Recognized student organizations may register programs featuring off-campus speakers as follows:
•	The sponsoring group should submit a completed registration form to the Student Activities Office. Any other students may have speaker arrangements made through the ASSC Executive Council.
•	The registration form should be submitted no less than
24	hours before the speaker is to appear. This will enable the Student Activities Office to coordinate the program with other scheduled events and eliminate unnecessary duplication and competition.
