“All Hail. Trojan Alumni” was chosen as this year's homecoming theme to honor alumni loyalty and support. Homecoming for USC alumni will be held on Nov. 6 when the Trojans play Washington State in a Pacific-8 football game.
“Our alumni have shown great support for this university and in so doing they have made a major contribution to the city, state and nation.” said Marshall Duffield. who heads the alumni committee as homecoming chairman.
An alumni picnic, entertainment by three bands, plus the 25th annual reunion for the class of 1946 are some of the many events planned for the alumni.
The festivities will all begin on Saturday. Nov. 6. at 10 a.m. in Alumni Park. The lawn will be transformed into a giant picnic area under cardinal and gold canopies for the 10.000 persons expected to attend.

The Student Court was addressed yesterday by Kent Clemence, ASSC president, on his view of the role of the court in ASSC government. Clemence said he hoped for an active judicial.
The court also voted that the positions of judicial advocates for the court should be established as an ASSC by-law. requiring a two-thirds vote by the
Campus groups will also set up exhibits. Phrateres. a campus service organization for girls, will sponsor a corsage sale from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Alumni Park. The corsages will be sold for $1.50 each.
Ernie Smith's band of alumni all-stars, the 11-member Dental Alumni Dixieland Band and the Trojan Marching Band will provide music.
But the day is not entirely reserved for the alumni. SCions. who are high school age sons and daughters of USC alumni, will have a special day of their own on campus. Activities will include a meeting with Dr. Conrad Wedberg, dean of admissions: a rally with USC cheerleaders and a showing of the Academy Award winning film “The Resurrection of Bronco Billy” which was made by USC cinema students. About 300 SCions are expected to attend.
Executive Council, in an advisory opinion.
In other business, the court resolved by a 4-1 vote that it saw no conflict of interest arising from the appointment of justices as delegates to the coming constitutional convention. The court also concurred that a memo be sent to Paul Moore, director of student activities, asking him to discuss with the court his role as its advisor.

A parade led by Traveler II to the Coliseum from Alumni Park at 12:45 p.m. for the USC-Wash-ington State football game will climax the events of the day.
Duffield urged all alumni to attend homecoming, to bring a picnic lunch and see how the campus has changed. In a special message to all Trojans he said. “Come take a walking tour of the campus and see how things have changed since you left the university. Old College has been torn down and so have all the hamburger stands and drug stores that used to line University Avenue. You'll be amazed at all the fine new buildings on campus. The progress hasn't all been physical, either.”
“The quality of education offered at USC is the finest, and there has been a great increase in enrollment in the professional schools and on the graduate level,” he said.
not discussed, pending the outcome of attempts to settle it out of court. In the words of Chief Justice Steve Knowles, it is “relating to the qualifications of one person to hold appointive office.” He expressed the reluctance of the court to hear such a case.
Clemence said to the court. “I anticipate and I would hope that the role of the court would be an active one.' He said that he had several times come across roadblocks that hindered his accomplishment of his goals, and asked the court to aid in delineating his powers and channels of action.
“I will be coming to the court frequently for advisory opinions,” he continued. “I believe it'll draw more interest to what the ASSC is doing." He pointed out the necessity for the court to interpret the constitution, rules and procedure under which the ASSC operates.
Clemence hopes for an end to what he calls the interference from the university in student affairs. “I would like to see things cease, come to an end here rather than go on to the university,” he said.
When asked whether he would enforce the court's decisions.
Vincent Bugliosi. prosecutor of the Tate-La Bianca murder trial, will speak today at noon in Bovard Auditorium.

Clemence replied. “Most definitely. It would be hypocritical of me to come to the court for an advisory opinion and then not uphold it."
The vote of 3-2-1 on the question of the three proposed judicial advocates came because Clemence had requested an advisory opinion on the matter. The duties of these advocates would be to bring cases before the court and aid adversary parties in court. The problem was finding the legal way to establish the advocates: by a change in court structure (requiring a three-fourths vote for approval), by an ASSC by-law (requiring only two-thirds vote for passage) or by amendment by the court of its own procedures.
The court advised the by-law route, saying that the advocates would be in the judicial branch but not part of the court structure.
The memo to Moore came when Knowles accused him of ignoring the role of the court. Knowles said that Moore had in a statement contradicted the court's recent advisory opinion that Clemence should be able to make reappointments to certain offices. Moore was not reached for comment.
as deputy district attorney, will speak on “Personal Reflections on the Manson Trial.”
The speech is sponsored by the Great Issues Forum.

Past protection for bicycles not adequate
BEFORE AND AFTER—Hardware type chain is more effective, but more expensive. Light weight
Those light-weight, attractive, plastic-coated chains that most students use on. their bicycles are about as effective as having no chain at all.
John Lechner, Campus Security Chief and administrator of parking operations, said that with one whack of a hammer or the use of a pair of pliers, a ten-year-old child could break the lock within seconds.
“Presently, the bookstores are attempting to sell only adequate protection," Lechner said. The Student Union bookstore is going to change, however.
Large chains, about 1 j-inch thick, with a heavy lock are much more effective. “The bookstore is taking a survey. If they find that the chains are in demand, they will stock them. Regardless of what happens, they will quit stocking the cheap ones," Lechner said.
These chains are a hardware-tvpe chain. They are heavier, weighing between Uz-and 2lz-pounds. and more expensive but more effective. Lechner said.
“We cannot stop or decrease theft if it only takes 10 seconds to break locks. And if they (book stores) won't sell this big chain, they shouldn’t sell the cheap one either.'
Lechner also advised that students lock their bicycles to something stable and use a cheap bicycle. “On a 20-speed bicycle all the thieves need is the back wheel.’ Lechner said
