Hubbard schedules convocation
By ROGER SMITH Editor
A President's Convocation will be held at noon in Bovard next Tuesday. President John Hubbard announced yesterday.
The convocation will be a speech by Hubbard to students concerning his educational philosophy administrative changes approved by the Board of Trustees at their recent meeting, and more effective methods of communication and cooperation between students and administration.
At the same time, Hubbard announced that the planned meeting between trustees and students has been postponed again until Wednesday. Oct. 21, in Bovard at noon.
Hubbard also said that the meeting, which was originally called the convocation, will now be known as the Univer-
sity Forum. Hubbard said he changed the name so that there would not be confusion between his speech to the students and the meeting of the trustees and students.
The University Forum was originally scheduled for today but was postponed to Friday when Justin Dart, chairman of the board of trustees, and several other trustees were asked to attend a conference with President Richard Nixon in Washington.
President Hubbard postponed the Forum again because of his commitment to attend a meeting of the Association of American Universities in Chicago on Friday.
The Forum will feature a meeting between some of the trustees and a panel of students. The students will ask the trustees questions, and then the trustees will take questions from the floor.
The Forum was promoted by the Caucus of Concerned Students and endorsed by the Associated Students. ASSC President Sam Hurst will appoint the student panel members.
President Hubbard estimated that between eight and 12 trustees will attend the Forum. All 32 trustees, received invitations.
“No single date is a good date for this type of meeting, given the tight schedules of the trustees," he said.
Hubbard indicated that some major administrative changes approved by the board last week will be covered in his speech next Tuesday. The changes are scheduled for release today.
“I want to take this opportunity to make the same kind of statement to the student body that 1 made to the faculty
said.	i
Hubbard said he wanted tjo make speech before the meeting between students and trustees.
“I want to appear as president, not as a member of the board or as being backed by the board." he said.
The reason for the delay in calling his convocation. Hubbard said, was because he was waiting for the board meeting last week.
“They had some decisions to make before I could talk about those decisions." he said.
“This (the President’s Convocation) is not to be confused with the University Forum the next day or construed as a substitute for it. I just want a chance to talk to the students myself.”
Hubbard said he would field questions from the floor after his speech.

LAW STUDENTS PROTEST
God’s word ‘censored’
Three students from the Law Center, John P. Walsh. Michael Millman and Roy Spece and an occasional visitor to the university community. Mark Forsyth, filed an action with the University Student Behavior Committee yesterday.
They charged university business manager. Elton D. Phillips, University President John Hubbard, and the university itself with depriving the four of their rights to exist in an atmosphere of free expression and inquiry and to be free to examine all questions of interest to them.
The complaint grew out of events occurring last Thursday near the center of campus. Forsyth was holding an American flag and handing out religious tracts bearing the words “God Cares."
While handing one of these to Walsh. Forsyth was approached by the university police and told to cease his actions and see Business Manager Phillips.
Forsyth and Walsh went to see Phillips, who reportedly told Forsyth to cease disseminating his religious tracts on campus. When Walsh asked what university regulation pro-
Students being reclassified 1-A
By GENE SHELBY
Many USC students will go 1-A this month due to a conflict between USC registration and the local draft board meetings.
According to Gregg Canova, USC Selective Service advisor, some of the local draft boards met before the SS-109 forms were filed and have reclassified several students.
Canova said that the draft counseling center has been contacted by about 100 students since school started who have been classified
I-A	by their boards because of the timing error.
He noted that these students' boards were mostly in San Gabriel. North Hollywood. West Los Angeles and Pasadena.
“The great majority of the people at USC who have requested
II-S	deferments either haven't received them or have been reclassified I-A due to a combination of the administrative backlogs which exist at USC and the local boards," said Canova
Mr. Ron Warden, who is in charge of mailing out the draft forms at the registrar's office, said that “they are sent out every day," the same day they are received.
Draft boards in North Hollywood, West Los Angeles, and San Gabriel have been reclassifying students since September 1.
Hollywood, though, has been reviewing students with numbers over 195 who will probably not be drafted this year. They have been informed by mail that they can appeal for their II-S within 30 days.
When questioned about the reclassified students, a San Gabriel draft board secretary said she “didn t know' anything about a backlog She said that there was only one meeting a month by each board, and that “sometimes the bovs don't fill out the forms right : making it necessary for them to reapply or be classified I-A
She added that the reclassification mixup was the “same thing as last year" and that some students “won't be reclassified until November." She recommended that all students with I A s who want II-S's should appeal to their boards
“If you re still eligible you should wait 28 days from the date of mailing of your card and write a letter to your board requesting an appointment with the government appeals agent and a personal appearance before the board," said Canova.
He felt that most students will probably be reclassified II-S when their local boards meet next and have to review the SS-109 forms.
Students seeking a II-S deferment must fill out three SS-109 forms: one for the university, one for the board and one on file in case of any other problems such as mailing.
hibited such dissemination, he said he was told there is no such regulation, but that prohibition of dissemination of religious literature on campus was against long standing, unwritten university policy.
When called upon later for comment, Phillips said: “I just told them that we have a literature code on campus and it does not allow anyone to distribute literature . . . tracts . . . unless it is sponsored by a university club or organization."
He was not yet aware of the complaint that had been issued.
Walsh, an ex-Associate Justice of the Student Court, said he saw a relationship between this case and the complaint brought by the ASSC Executive Council against President John Hubbard and the Board of Trustees for allegedly denying student rights in formulating the Policy Relating to Political Activity.
“The university's action in depriving the four of their rights gives life and substance to the fears of suppression of free expression that many had upon reading the university policy statement and the allegations contained in the ASSC's complaint," he said.
Milman said. “The actions taken by the University violate the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as well as abridge the free speech, free expression, and free exercise and establishment of religious clauses of the First Amendment."
He argued that the university has made no efforts to restrict the actions of the Hare Krishna group on campus and that this is evidence that the university has chosen to discriminate against some forms of religious activities and expression while showing preferential treatment to others.
Spece pointed out that this may be the beginning of a very significant case that could go beyond the bounds of the university court system — all the way to the United States Supreme Court if necessary.
If the university persists in its actions, he claimed it could present an opportunity for that Court to decide on the issue of state action and the private university.

MASS BOOZE CULTURE UNARRESTED?
Michigan suit could dry up Coliseum.
Whiskey-guzzling fans might have dry game
ANN ARBOR. Mich. (UPI) — If it’s illegal to hold rock festivals for thousands of drug-and-rock aficionados, it's illegal to stage football games for thousands of whisky-guzzling fans, a former sports editor turned janitor contended Friday.
To test his theory. Joe Block, 22, a former sports editor of the University of Michigan Daily, has filed suit to stop the annual confrontation between Michigan and Michigan State here Oct. 17.
“I decided to file this suit because Gov. (William G.) Milliken and other so-called law-and-order political figures in this state have selectively applied the law to repress one form of mass culture while allowing another form of mass culture to exist,' said Block, now a janitor and steward in the Michigan Union.
“I am not against football games, but I am for equal law enforcement. If the law applies to rock festivals, then it should also apply to football games."
On Sept. 5, Jackson County Prosecutor Bruce A. Barton sought and won a court order banning a rock festival at Goose Lake where, a month before. 200,000 teen-agers had openly sold and smoked marijuana. taken hallucingenic drugs and immersed themselves in a loud rock and nude bathing.
Block's suit — using language virtually identical to Barton s and accompanied by affidavits signed by 10 Ann Arbor residents — asserted football games are as much a common nuisance as rock
