University of Southern California DAILY TROJAN LOS ANGELES), CALIFORNIA, TUESDAY. APRIL 22. 1969. VOL. LX. NO. 107 Students to help Watts celebration The often outspoken Tommy Jacquette, director of this year’s Watts Summer Festival, came back to USC last night. But this time, unlike former appearances when he has criticized the university severely, he came to work with it. Rather, he came to work with a group of about 10 students who are enrolled in an Experimental College class called Ghetto Rehabilitation. He came to develop, with them, some of the plans for the festival. The students, with widely diverse backgrounds, will aid Jacquette in planning for the events at the festival, which will be held August 4 through 10. Jacquette, attired as always in his jeans and Army jacket, talked quietly with the students, telling them about some of the problems the festival faces; problems with things like booths, sites, offices, transportation and parking. Last year, he said, the festival took in over $100,000 but wound up losing money because of the costs it incurred. This year, he hopes, with incorporation of all the events in one area, costs will be cut and larger crowds will gather. Working with Jacquette, the class will try to solve the problems as they come up. On next week’s agenda is a trip to the actual site. Members of the class will then draw up architectural plans to help develop it. With the continued help of the class, Jacquette and other community leaders will set up the festival. The plans made by the class will be used, on approval. The Watts Festival started with a fire, Jacquette said. He called it an effort to show the contributions of the community people and to promote and expose their talents. Among other things the festival will include art exhibits, jazz concerts, games a carnival, rodeo and parade. The class meets on Monday evenings at 7 p.m. in Harris Hall 205. DT TAKES 3 FIRSTS; EARNS ALL-AMERICAN USC won the runner-up sweepstakes award at the California Intercollegiate Press Association (CIPA) convention in Fresno over the weekend. The Daily Trojan earned three first place awards and the El Rodeo won one. The Daily Trojan also earned the All-American rating from the Associated Collegiate Press for last semester's paper, Mike Parfit, the editor, announced. In the CIPA contest Eric Cohen won first place in sports columns for a football locker room story, and in general columns for a story on James Baldwin. 'This is the biggest thrill since I lost my virginity," Cohen said when he heard of his awards. The other first place award was for editorial page excellence. Andy Miller was editorial director last semester. The newspaper won second place awards for front page excellence and sports page excellence. Third place awards for newswriting and photography went to Parfit. He won for a story on Dr. John Bester, a former assistant professor of pharmacy, and for pictures of a draft card burning during the appearance here of Sen. Edmund Muskie. Gregg Robb's cartoon on fraternity hazing also won a third place award. , The El Rodeo took first place in the art and graphic arts division. A second place award went to the yearbook for overall excellence and Robert Parker won third place in photography. Mike Williams, editor, also placed third in an on-the-spot layout contest. Pepperdine College won the sweepstakes award. ROTC TOPIC A} NOON BITCH-IN The controversy over the ROTC will be discussed today at noon at the bitch-in in the Open Forum area. | Participants in the bitch-in w$ try to explain the issue and find ways students may unite to change the present structure.! Any student with an opinion will be able to speak. On Thursday, April 10, approximately 40 students staged an impromtu entertainment for the drilling ROTC students. The administration is presently questioning those involved in the incident. Sen. Bayh urges direct popular vote The American electoral process needs to be changed so the government will be more responsive to the governed, Sen.} Birch Bayh, (D-Ind.) said yesterday. ( In a speech titled “The Future of Liberalism,” sponsored by the Great Issues Forum, Bayh defined liberalism as exploring the future to adapt and change institutions to changing problems. “Change is necessary, but not for the sake of change,” said the junior senator from Indiana. “We should look at the alternatives befpre we destroy our institutions.” • The/senator attacked the electoral process as unequitable, archaic, and possibly dangerous. “We are sitting on top of a powder keg,” he warned. He cited the 1968 election in which a near standoff almost permitted George Wallace to trade electoral votes and determine the Presidency. Bayh called for installing direct popular election to secure an equitable electoral system. He maintained the direct popular vote would guarantee the man receiving th^ most votes would be President. With direct popular election each voter would have an equal voice in the process, Bayh said. “The people would have a part of the action,” he added. The present system has n/any inconsistencies, particularly the voting age limit, said the senator. “Young people show by their actions and deeds that they have a good idea of what citizenship entails,” he said. Bayh noted the significant role youth played in the politics of 1968, in social reform, in Vista and in the Peace Corps. He said the system wq^ild be better off if is gave a place to all, so they could improve it by making it more open and responsive. Bayh warned that the alternative might be desti*uction of the system. “More participation by more people is needed if we are to be the truly democratic society we claim to be,” Bayh said: “How can the. /President, living in today’s complex world,, jmake difficult, important decisions concerningjlife and death, if he is not the choice of the majority of people?” Bayh sponsored ‘ the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, defining the line of presidential succession. He is/ presently working toward the abolition of. the’ Electoral College. Campus violence spreads ito Purdue (UPI)—Violence flared at college campuses across the country yesterday. At Purdue University in Lafayette, Ind., helmeted police moved into the university’s administration building after students in a sit-in failed to respond to Police Chief Donald K. Jones’ ultimatum to end their unauthorized occupany of university facilities and illegal assembly within the five minutes given to them. Forty-one of the demonstrators who were protesting officials’ rulings that they could not sit in on a budget meeting were escorted, one-by-one, from the third floor of the building and arrested. The remainder of about 150 students came out voluntarily after a university spokesman told them charges against the 41 would be dropped if the others gave up the sit-in. Additional dissention across the country could be attributed to the fact that student organizations have been trying to dissuade the administration from imposing increases in tuition and fees next fall. At Harvard, 200 students led by members of Students for a Democratic Society, reoccupied the same administration building from which militants were ejected in a police sweep April 10. A member of the group that was demanding that the university sever its military connections, said they took the action to keep alive the issues. At 5 p.m. the group, which had dwindled to 150 students, pulled out as they had promised. At Cornell, after a wild weekend in which armed Negroes held the student union building for nearly a day and a half, President James Perkins warned that any student possessing a weapon would be suspended and any organization found to haW firearms would lose its recognition on campus. i The president’s declaration given in mass I convocation Monday before 8,000 students caih? after the black students, some armed wi^hi shotguns, rifles, spears and bandoliers of * ammunition, surrendered the building Sujiday with the administration’s promise to m&st their demands, including amnesty.
