ASSC, trustees to meet today
By MARY ANN GALANTE Assistant Focus Editor
The ASSC Executive Council will meet tonight in an informal dinner session with members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees.
“It's just something of a routine get together with student body representatives." said Justin Dart, chairman of the Board of Trustees and president of Dart Industries. “We want to continue dialogue, trade ideas, and communicate on problems and university objectives."
Dart said the board is anxious to keep “communication open, active, and meaningful. We re just pursuing this goal."
Invitations to the meeting have been extended to the fifteen members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees and the twenty-one members of the ASSC Executive Council.
“There is no agenda for the dinner."
said President John Hubbard. “It's a very informal social gathering."
The Executive Council formulated a list of tentative topics at it's regular meeting last week that it wants to discuss at the session.
“The trustees don’t want any agenda down on paper because it's an informal meeting. But there are certain areas we want to see covered, so the executive council was asked for topics the members wanted to discuss." said Chuck Jones, vice-president for academic affairs.
Jones said the topics the ASSC Executive Council hopes to discuss include the following:
—Incorporation of the ASSC.
—	Student representation on the Board of Trustees.
—	Selection of a new university provost.
—	The policy regarding political activities.
—	The board's progress in answering
students' questions from last month s trustee convocation.
When asked about the unanswered questions. Dart said, “I worked on them over the weekend. We re anxious to get them completed, and we re ashamed of the delay. We hope to get responses off the block in a few days, so a reply will be forthcoming.
Opinion as to the origin of the meeting tonight was sharply divided.
“I don't recall exactly where the idea originated." said Hubbard. “For some years the executive committee has had informal dinner sessions with the executive committee of the university senate. This is the first time students have been invited. We want informal sessions for the board's executive committee to get to know the students better.” Hubbard said the idea was probably a result of ideas of Sam Hurst, ASSC president. Dart, and himself.
Dart said, “I don't know and I don t really care where the idea came from. I'm happy to have the kind of committee that wants to meet with student representatives. The idea could have come from any one of us."
According to Dr. John Cantelon, university vice provost, the session is merely one of the regular meetings of the trustees' executive board. “Stud-dents were invited last year." said Cantelon.
“The meeting came out of the joint meetings centering about the convocation between Sam Hurst, Dart, Hubbard, and me.” said Jones. “We'll be able to sit and talk rather then send memos back and forth. "
Hurst expressed doubts as to the benefits of the meeting. “The trustees aren't going to commit themselves to anything tomorrow nigh t—especially since it’s only the executive committee and not the entire board.”

A pair of two-story buildings, located off the southwest corner of McClintock Avenue and 35th Place, were demolished
yesterday.
The wooden structures,
which were formerly private
residences off-campus, are apparently about to become part of USC's expanding campus.
Clearing of the property is the work of the Community Redevelopment Agency, an independent corporation for the acquisition of land for uban re-
Student representation asked in parking plan
The ASSC Executive Council unanimously passed a resolution Tuesday calling for student representation in the planning of the proposed student parking structure.
The resolution, formulated and submitted by Tom Levyn. vice-president of programs, further suggested that the joint parking committees look into loan possibilities. “A loan would allow the 2.2 million now projected for the new structure to be channeled into other worthwhile projects." said Levyn.
The 900-car. three-level parking structure is scheduled to be started as soon as plans are drawn.
“We've always had student representation for approval oi the final draft. We want to be in on the planning stages and the discussion concerning the physical structure." said Chuck Jones, vice-president of academic affairs.
In other actions the council approved a series of by-law changes in the ASSC Constitution. The Academic Affairs Council has been split into two bodies, to include the Academic Affairs Council and the University Affairs Council
"The old council wasn't functional." said Jones. "The new body is an effort to coordinate actions of the various committees.
Jones said the new University Affairs Council is an effort to coordinate all students on the various university committees. “It's basically a coordinating council of students on the committees that report to the university senate." said Jones.
newal, which presently owns
the land involved.
Lowell Patt, an administrator for the redevelopment
agency, said the property is in the process of being purchased by the university, supposedly for the purposes of its expansion program as laid out by an Urban Renewal Plan adopted by the Los Angeles City Council more than two years ago.
Through an Owner's Participation Agreement drawn up
between the university and the
CRA, the land will be handed over after the total demolition of the property on it.
The land, in this instance, was acquired by the CRA on June 25th of this year through the condemnation and subsequent sale of the property by its former owner.
Patt added that the CRA is also involved in a number of individual projects of the Urban Renewal Plan.
Following the clearing of
other land and the relocation of the occupants involved, a Senior Citizen s housing development. a neighborhood shopping center, a post office and a motor hotel are all slated to be new additions to the community surrounding the university.
Hopes fading for recall of Hurst
By TIM TAYLOR
Editorial Director
Mike Trope, leader of a campaign to oust ASSC President Sam Hurst, said yesterday that there probably is not enough time left in this school year to carry out his recall threat.
‘‘I have accepted as reality that the odds are that I will not have enough time to effectively carry this (the recall drive) out to its fullest extent." Trope said.
Trope estimates that if he had the required signatures today
and if all of the subsequent voting went his way. no successor
to Hurst could be chosen until mid-March .at the earliest.
This would mean that the successor named in the special election would serve at most for two or three weeks before the regular ASSC elections in the spring.
According to the ASSC Constitution, Trope needs the signatures of at least 10 percent of all students, full or part time, graduate or undergraduate, to force an election calling for the removal of Hurst.
As of yesterday. Trope had collected about 1.000 signatures. Latest figures available indicate that there are 20.016 students at USC, which means that Trope needs slightly more than 2,000
signatures on recall petitions.
Once the signatures are in. they will probably go first to
the registrar for validation. Trope expects the validation to
take approximately one month.
With Christmas vacation finals, and the semester break coming up. a final decision could not be reached until mid-March at the earliest.
If an election is held, according to the Constitution it will be merely to determine whether or not Hurst should be removed. The Constitution, as written, makes no provision for a special election to fill the vacancy if Hurst were to be removed.
Trope insists that he will continue his efforts to remove
Hurst. Petitions will be circulated on campus today, he said.
