ASSC acting prexy lists goals
By PETER WONG City Editor
Joel Rosenzweig, ASSC vice-president for programs and acting ASSC president, hopes to accomplish two major goals bv the end of this summer—the revision of key university policies and the definition of the roles of faculty, administrators and trustees in the university policy process.
In a recent interview, Rosenzweig expressed the dissatisfaction of the ASSC Executive Council and the general student body in regard to several of the Board of Trustees' interpretations of university policies, including some situations this past school year.
Rosenzweig himself does not necessarily disapprove of the university policies in question, but in an apparent reference to trustees' interpretations of such policies, he said. “The policies are not worth the paper they're written on.”
The acting ASSC president is taking definite steps to insure students' rights on the university campus.
First. Rosenzweig secured two additional student memberships on a subcommittee of the university's Student Behavior Committee. This particular subcommittee, headed by John J. Wiley, associate dean of the Law School, is now examining certain university policies.
“Students were badly outnumbered on that subcommittee.” Rosenzweig said. But the addition of Steve Knowles, chief justice of the ASSC Student Court, and Mark Spitzer, ASSC independent repre-
sentative, strengthened the student representation greatly.
Rosenzweig and Lee Blackman, ASSC vice-president for academic affairs, are the other two student members of the subcommittee.
“This group will examine all of our rules, and then decide which ones should be kept as they are, rewritten, altered, or thrown out,” Rosenzweig said.
The acting ASSC president is also advocating the issuance of a “Statement of University Rights and Responsibilities.”
In this area, Rosenzweig said that he wants the roles of faculty, administrators and trustees in the policy process to be defined cleanly. The only major group with a defined role at present is the student body, through the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
Rosenzweig also hopes to be working toward the establishment of the Articles of Governance to define the university's policymaking process for the first time.
The Articles of Governance, on which work was started nearly two years ago, was shaped into final form by an ad hoc committee appointed by former President (now Chancellor) Norman Topping and chaired by Paul Hadley, dean of University College and Summer Session. The articles were to have been formally presented this past spring to the three constituent groups involved in the system—students, faculty and deans—but the plans have been delayed temporarily.
The acting ASSC president is striv-
ing for reforms in university policies and process because of three instances in which the Board of Trustees seemingly contradicted policies that it had previously approved.
In a letter to President John Hubbard dated May 27, Rosenzweig explained why the students wanted to see action now on several policy reforms. Rosenzweig also enclosed 30 pages documenting university policies, compiled by a committee headed by Kenneth Norris, trustee.
Rosenzweig cited the trustees’ issuance of the Policy Relating to Political Activity and the Statement on Dissent in August, 1970, “during the calm of the summer, to avoid publicity.” He said that students now would not accept any document forced upon them, but rather, “I think we, too, can use the summer, however, use it to draft a whole new set of rules and regulations.”
The acting ASSC president referred to a resolution sponsored by Jack McNamara, ASSC independent representative, and passed by the ASSC Executive Council without a dissenting vote. The action clause stated:
“Be it resolved: That the elected and appointed officers of the ASSC see that the only way to secure their rights as human beings and students at USC is to use any means necessary (recognized or not, sanctioned or un-) and that in the 1971-72 academic year, they will proceed in any manner they deem fit and necessary to secure their rights.”
Rosenzweig explained that he wanted
to stress to President Hubbard the urgent need for revisions in the university structure.
“From my position, I can only lead those actions which students wish to take, and I will not serve as a pacifier. We can no longer function in a power void .... We must have some influence in the community in which we live. Either we get to work now, or in the parting words of the council, ‘See you in September,’ ” Rosenzweig concluded in his letter.
Rosenzweig and President Hubbard have discussed the letter several times, and Rosenzweig said the president indicated general agreement on the review of university policies.
President Hubbard could not be reached for comment, because he will be out of town until the end of this month. However, his office confirmed that Rosenzweig and President Hubbard have had several talks on the subject.
Rosenzweig cited three instances of Board of Trustees' actions involving student interests:
•	Speaker’s Policy, and the visit of Jerry Rubin in April 1970. “The trustees are still talking about that,” Rosenzweig said, “but they ignore that the day before he (Rubin) spoke at USC, there were disturbances over his ap-parance at UCLA.
“The campus community was peacefully involved in his visit, from Trojan Young Republicans and Young Americans for Freedom (in.opposition) to the Moratorium Committee (in support).

Enrollment for Summer Session to reach 7,500
HONORARY PROFESSORSHIP
Richard Ney (far right), author of "The Wall Street Jungle," receives a scroll proclaiming his appointment as honorary Professor of Investments from Nelson Chaffin (center), a student in business administration here, and Professor Kenneth Steele. The award, given by the students themselves and not by USC, was presented Tuesday on a local television show.
If the trend of registration continues at its present rate, the expected enrollment for this year’s Summer Session will be about that of last year—7,500, Mary K. Ludwig, assistant dean for Summer Session, said yesterday.
However, Mrs. Ludwig said that there would be no definite figures on enrollment until sometime next week, when classes in the major seven-week session will be underway.
Mrs. Ludwig pointed out that there were 43 different sessions under the Summer Session administration, ranging from semester programs to two-week workshops.
The semester programs include 11-week terms in the Schools of Medicine and Engineering, 12-week terms in the School of Education and the Graduate School of Business Administration, and the 13-
20 business students appoint author honorary Professor of Investments
By LOWELL PONTE Contributing Editor
Seven graduating students in business administration gathered Tuesday afternoon at KHJ, Channel 9, to make public their appointment of a best selling author as honorary Professor of Investments.
The students, who were all in the Finance and Business Economics 440 class taught by Professor Kenneth Steele, joined their teacher in making the award to Richard Ney, author of “The Wall Street Jungle,” on the Tempo television show.
Given by the students themselves, not by USC, the scroll of appointment to Ney reads: “Whereas Richard Ney, teacher, writer, and American,
has held high the torch of critical inquiry and lighted a dark, dangerous place. Standing alone, he has held his ground despite a tide of tribulation. He continues to light the darkness for those who seek the way.
“In appreciation of his efforts,” the scroll continues, “we students of investments at the University of Southern California School of Business Administration do hereby appoint him Honorary Professor of Investments.”
Of the twenty students who signed the scroll, seven came to the television show; because of studio limitations, only two students, Professor Steele, and Richard Ney joined Regis Philbin, program host, on the air.
week Social Science and Humanities Summer Semester.
The latter 16-unit program, which began June 7, is taught jointly by four professors around the theme, “Conflict and Consensus in Theories of the Social Order,” and counts toward general education requirements.
At the other end are two-week workshops, institutes and other short-term programs. In the middle are the following: a major seven-week session from June 21 to Aug. 7, a six-week session that roughly coincides with the major sessions, and a four-week postsession from Aug. 9 to Sept. 4.
There are several reasons for having Summer Session, Mrs. Ludwig said.
First, it provides an opportunity for students to continue their education year-round, in either enrichment or makeup capacities.
Second, a summer session permits incoming freshmen and other new students begin their work at USC ahead of the fall semester.
Third, those in professions— school teachers and administrators, public administrators, businessmen—have an opportunity to continue their education through various institutes and programs.
Mrs. Ludwig stressed the value of Summer Session as a time for new and different programs, for innovation and testing.
She also said that a student in Summer Session may be more willing to go into depth on one subject and put intensive ef-
fort into his work.
“For example, if a student chose to combine the major seven-week session and the four-week postsession, he could learn the equivalent of one year of a foreign language,” Mrs. Ludwig said.
“It is difficult to do this well in regular session because the student has other classes to do work in. But it's possible to do this in Summer Session.”
The dean’s office announced that students could register for the various sessions from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday with the following exceptions:
Today, 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to noon; Monday to Wednesday of next week, 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Thursday, closed; June 26, 8:30 a.m. to noon; July 5, closed.
Registration for Summer Session will be in the Physical Education Building until next Wednesday, after which materials will be available in the Registrar’s Office.
