"student Employment Committee has worked with loyment Bureau to aid students looking for jobs iduation.
committee has acted as a liaison between employers
| who visited the campus and the Job seekers. McMahon said I i ia one of the big problems has been to inform the students oi tne companies which are holding job interviews. It Is through the Student Employment Committee that this problem is solved.
Another campaign promise on foreign student-row ac-I quaintance has been kept through exchanges between large national groups and fraternities. McMahon mentioned dinners between the Arab students and the Phi Delts in which each offered their national foods.
Relations Boosted
High school and junior college relations were boosted j through the efforts of a committee headed by Chet Davis | and Diane Ondrasik. Teas for girls’ schools, a hlsh school student body president, during which prep students toured SC and saw a football game, and student tours by Alpha Phi j Omega all boosted SC stock among the local high schools and I JC's.
j These are other planks in the platforms of McMahon and his Trojans for Representative Government party which have been glossed over this past semester or left unaccomplished.
These include revision of the registration procedures (unchanged except for the additional help employed), aid in rejuvenating the independent students’ program (including the starting of a bulletin for these students), and the reactivation of the rally program to include all teams.
The latter two come under the Jurisdiction of the Independent Council and the Trojan Knights, respectively, but any blame for failure should be shared by McMahon and TRO since they made the campaign promises.
McMahon Claims Victory
In the rea'm of adding to respect for student government, McMahon claims a clear-cut victory. To prove his point, he cited a high administration official who said he had never seep a more mature group of students than those currently in SC government.
Part of this respect is due to better thought-out legislation. A.s an example, McMahon pointed to the compulsory senior fee bill which was intelligiently debated before being put into action this spring. McMahon said student government has gained respect and power through Its fight against Governor Shivers as a commencement sneaker and through the concrete good it does In such events a.s Homecoming.
McMahon also listed accomplishments ln the field of letting people outside know about SC, a phase which he considers accounts for about 75 per cent of his Job.
McMahon Makes Speeches
Ho estimates that he has made more than 38 speeches lo groups on and off campus, including an appearance before the Bill of Rights Commemoration Committee, four television appearances, and four radio problems. McMahon has
attended so many luncheons and banquets that he has gained 11 pounds since he took office.
"This has been the part of the Job that's been the most fun," hr admits.
The ASSC president also initiated inviting student body presidents from nearby high schools to Senate meetings. On one occasion, over 150 students made a tour of SC a couple of weeks after their student body president visited the Senate, and many of them were quite familiar with what hari occurred at that meeting.
Equal Debating Tinir
In presiding over the Senate, McMahon said he h;-striven to allot equal debating time to both sides of the Issues, and has tried to make certain that some of the more reticent senators enter debate.
He has tried to keep unnecessary conflict down. "There's no excuse for the meetings to last to 11 p.m. or midnight,” he says. At the same time, he’s worked to get more non-vot-ing senators to enter Into debate, a right Which they have but generally don’t exercise.
For the Senate itself, McMahon has a high regard.
“Individually, for the most part, the senators have all done tremendous Jobs with their groups. There’s also been a spirit of harmony in the Senate along with a notable ab-scence of bickering.”

IRANIAN TEACHER TO TELL MIDDLE EAST VIEW OF U.S.
An Iranian educator will discuss recent changes in American attitudes from a foreign viewpoint before the Irano-American Relations Club Saturday evening.
Prof. Amir Muzaffar-ed-Din Khan de Farrokh, a founder of the University of Tehran, will also speak on the progress of Persia under His Majesty, the Shah of Iran. He will particularly stress the recently instituted educational and land reforms.
The talk will be presented in the Student Lounge at 8 p.m. as part of a program which will include Iranian entertainment. The public will be admitted free.
Dr. de Farrokh was the first Iranian to study in the the United States. His education at the University of Chicago was sponsored by Mrs. Phoebe Apperson Hearst, mother of William Randolph Hearst.
Philosopher John Dewey, then a professor at the University of Chicago, supervised his studies there for five years.
Dr. de Farrokh returned to Iran shortly before World War I and has since concentrated on introducing American methods to his country.
Shortly after an appointment to the Ministry of Education in 1932, he began to see the need for an Iranian university. Dr. de Farrokh was instrumental in persuading his late Imperial Majesty Rezah Shah to issue an Imperial decree for the founding of the University of Tehran.
Since the university’s inception. Dr. de Farrokh has been a member of the faculty of the College of Letters.
He was recently appointed by the university council to tour America on a lecture and study trip. While in the United States, he plans to publish his latest book, “The Reconstruction of Persia.”
Trojan Chest Group To Begin Interviews

Vocational Testing Expansion Planned
one rep-
Are SC students interested in vocational counseling at half the former cost?
The answer to this question is currently being sought by the psychology department, which has formulated a tentative plan for administering vocational guidance tests to groups large enough to permit reduction of the present individual testing fee of $25 to $12.
Primary concern of tb? psychology department at present, according to Dr. Alfred Jacobs, assistant professor of psychology , is j ihe number ol students interested in taking an experimental six-: hour battery test.
The examination would include two tests to determine which helds of work Hie student might like. A general ability test, an academic ability lest, which predicts the student’s success in school and certain occupations, and a reasoning lest, winch would evaluate tiie student* ability to solve problems.
Other section* of the exam are « special ability lest, which involves the identification of shapes and forms necessary for success in such fields as en/meering and | art, temperament and |iersonality tests, and a biographic ,1 information sheet giving previous work experience.
Student* Interested in participating in the exam should call Klchmond 8-2311. Ext. 516, or write to the Psychol.meal Service Center, 915 West 37th Place.
In addition to the test, which urday near mid-term, each student will probably be given on a Sat-vvill receive an hour of individual testing after the results ot the group xam have been determined.
If response is satisfactory, a date fur the experimental test will u* set up and Ilia students will be notified.
Current plans provide for the
continuation of Ihe $25 individual

I'ro,noting Friendliness
“Phrateres is very anxious to help promote friendliness on campus," Miss Gertsch said, pointing out that there are 13.OOO day si udents at SC.
Judges will pick six Trojans, three men and three women, with the most sincere and friendly smiles tomorrow afternoon. The six will I* notified by telephone Wednesday right.

said. “It’s important that we have the manpower to reach our goal this year. Last year's funds are completely gone. We have to hit $60U0 to keep the chest functioning smoothly.”
Trojan Chest combines all SC charities into one drive for funds. Money raised goes primarily to three campus activities: Troy Camp, Living War Memorial, and Campus YWCA.
Troy Cm in j i Supported
Troy Camp, held each summer in conjunction with the East Los Angeles Variety Boys Club, is supported wholly by Trojan Chest. Each year more than 150 boys and 75 girls between the ages of 8-12 attend. Many come from families who are financially unable to send them to camp.
McAdoo believes that Troy Camp is a great deterrent to juvenile delinquency. "Between the ages of 8-12, four main areas of development are particularly important to all children," he said. "They are work, worship, love and play.
"At camp all these things become entirely natural and ure accepted fully. Many of the kids don’t have Ihe opportunity at home to get the attention they need.” He pointed out that Ihe camp has helped many hoys who had previously lieen considered socially maladjusted.
Finances YWCA
The Campus YWCA is another netivity which leans heavily on the Trojan Chest for support. The objective of the Y is student character development. It is one of the lew places on campus where students can meet or have parties during the evening or over the weekend.
Approximately 115 different groups use the Y building for a meeting place and nine campus organizations make regular use of it.
More than one-fourth of the funds supporting the Y come from student contributions. A good part of this total is secured from the Trojan Chest fund.

Activities Coordinated
There are 900 international students at SC and most of them belong to some organization. The International Student's Count.I, like the Interfraternity Council, coordinates the many activities: of these organizations.
Jallow said the ISC's main functions are to create a better understanding between American and international students, and organize different clubs, assisting them in planning their activities.
The council also handles the problems of any foreign student or international organization. Its decisions may he presented to the ASSC Senate or the administration for action.
Jallow Commended
“Mr. Jallow, with a sincere cooperation from the council's many members, has accomplished an outstanding achievement during the last few months," said James McAree, international students and council adviser.
Since the ISC first organized last year it built the largest international student's float ever huilt for a Homecoming parade. It ba* arranged dinner exchange* between international students and a fraternity and sorority.
ISC competition in the Diamond Jubilee Show, sending speakers to different organizations and schools in the community, and arranging visits to different homes in the community by McAree and his secretary F^lisabeth Budelman are some of the councils other accomplishments.
Addresses Club*
Jallow said he has addressed a number of clubs, organizations, and schools to help further a better understanding between the United States and other countries.
The council president said interest in the foreign student activity i* increasing among the American students. He cited the many calls for foreign student speakers and the establishment of a foreign student's representative office as examples._
