No student government, voluntary plans to be among six on ballot
By Brian Robinette
staff writer
The time-consuming and nebulous task of formulating a satisfactory student government took a giant step forward Wednesday night when a student group selected six final proposals for student government which will be subject to an all-university referendum May 1.
The meeting was the third in a series of open sessions designed as a vehicle to allow interested students an opportunity to draft a list of proposed model forms of government to replace last year's defunct ASSC version.
Students will now decide the ultimate fate of any
future governance at USC when the six proposals are put to a referendum May 1-2.
The choices that will aw ait the voters are the following:
•	An assembly-council-type of government.
•	The ‘ Berkeley plan,” which would basically include a 30-member student senate, a student body president and three vice-presidents, a judicial officer and a controller. As the name inplies, this plan is patterned afterthatofUC Berkeley’s, and would employ the preferential ballot system.
•	The voluntary plan would, in essence, allow student participation and
association on a voluntary basis. Students not wishing to be associated with the gov-ernment would not be required to pay the activity fee, and would then be exempt from any sponsored activities.
•	The Alliance of Student ’Government plan is considered to be a revitalized form of the ASSC, with a few minor alterations.
•	The Board of Representatives would consist of 13 members, including four undergraduate and three graduate representatives elected by the students, and six “directors,” of various student functions, such as

11 expelled Chicano students demonstrate alleged racist policies
By Don La Plante
assistant city editor
Eleven expelled Teacher Corps students and their supporters demonstrated Thursday against their expulsion and alleged racism toward Chicanos at USC.
The group of over 75 picketed near the Administration Building for nearly three hours. Early in the demonstration, the protesters took their signs apart and began pounding the wood against the signs and chanting slogans when television cameras arrived.
The Teacher Corps students have been boycotting classes since November 30 in an attempt to force the university to allow them to set up a school in Lil Valley, a Chicano barrio.
The federally sponsored program presently has contracts with the Compton School District and Los Angeles County Special Schools (juvenile halls) for students to teach in those districts.
Donald Wilson, director of teacher education, and Annette Gromfin, director of Teacher Corps Urban, are in Washington trying to get the federal government to allow USC to contract with the Los Angeles City Schools for a program in Lil Valley.
In light of the negotiations going on in Washington. Phil Copeland. executive assistant to President Hubbard. called Thursday’s
demonstration uncalled for and ill-advised.
“WTe are doing all that we can to get a program in the barrio. We are going as fast as we can. The protesters would like to solve the problems overnight but it takes time to get programs approved.” Copeland said.
Leo Alvillar. one of the demonstration leaders and a striking intern, said that the demonstration was designed to protest not only the Teacher Corps program but also the attitude of USC toward minorities.
“ The Teacher Corps is nothing but a device to produce money for USC. It doesn’t help train teachers. The program is not a justifiable expense,” said Manuel De Ortega, a speaker at the demonstration and professor at California State University, Los Angeles and former member of the Teacher Corps staff at USC.
Copeland thought the demonstration would not help the expelled students chances of reinstatement into the program. Avillar expressed basically the same idea. He said that the students were just w aiting to see w hat happens w ith their appeal for reinstatement.
Alvillar complained of how the meeting with officials in Washington is being run. The students sent a representative to try to attend the meeting but she has not been allowed in.
