The organization is headquartered in Norwalk, Conn. A scientist less than 36 years of age receives the award annually for outstainding published research in molecular spectroscopy applied to solving chemical problems. Since Prof. Durig joined the USC faculty, he has published some 100 papers and has supervised the doctoral work of 25 graduate students. Durig is the eighth winner of the Coblentz award and only the third from a U. S. university. Large art produces life effect - Howard Woody, a member of the art faculty at the University, does many large pieces which he says d "gives a real-life effect when man i looks at them." But the largeness S often presents other problems. For example, some of his works have to be "built" outside, because s his home, where he does much of t his work, is not suitable to put together, say, an eight-foot sculpture. Some of the media he s uses, polyester resin for instance, has to be temperature controlled. ej Probably his biggest headache Is though, is transportation. Woody now has a one-man show of some 20 ri sculptures in the Birmingham, si Ala., Museum of Art and has shows It 1comisg up every ipaththrotfg, next August. And the sculptures IT that make up these shows have to po be moved. p4 Woody has some 40 sculptures, most of them in crates when gi stored, that he chooses from for al different shows, and he has to ci choose often. st He list of one-man shows for this CI year began in September at Emory o and Henry College, Emgry, Va. sh The back of Jal us covered with T HHITY-S EV EN MIND TOME S With. on Option on Exiseance Played at the green apkder -- we were learning then - what real people - and real mesic was about - th, wncousold blow in - .d wc st an' play . anedrn k on cheap wlna -- n'gee dn an' cy real The inside of Jai is covered with| REA Aviailable Campus Shop Ri Plays here Noted Violinist Sidney Hartil Tuesday at 8 p.m. under the s Union Artist Series Committe card.

In responses to high school background, a majority of those answering the survey felt the only effective teaching method in high school was primarily the worst discussion-type class. In responses to questions on What Made You Want to Come to College, a high degree of purpose was usually indicated. 64 per cent responded to this by answering, to get skills needed in an occupation, while to get a broad education got the response of 57 per cent. 46 per cent admitted that going to college because "it was ex pected of me was a partial ob jective, while 56 per cent said that going to have a good time was a partial -objective., I - Responses to questions on ex pectations at college were also shown to be high-minded. For t example, there was a high ex pectation, especially among boys f in obtaining occupational sk1Ius, a preparation for graduate and professional training, and entry to a better jobs. Only 16 per cent responded that preparation for graduate or professional school is not something they want their college education to provide. Finally, there is a correlation with the girls' response In the direction of seeking greater freedom of choice. Nearly 60 of all freshmen responding would prefer to choose at least half of their courses.

Students, president converse By CHERYL MANNING Staff Writer It was a different kind of ex. perience for a group of students Wednesday night: a chance to talk with the president in a relatively relaxed and informal setting. Dr. Thomas F. Jones was guest of the Baptist Student Union. For almost two hours the dialogue went on, first in the form of some in troductory comments by the president, then as a question-and answer (mainly answers) session, and finally in the form of informal conversations between the president and individual or small groups of students. The conversation topics ranged from the very serious - religion, education - to the very light - the president's collection of bow ties. Jones told the group that it does -matter .whether you. win or lose, and said he believes that if the University is going to have an athletic program at all, it should strive to produce number i teams. He said that sporta are vak.aMble to a university, both as a cohesive force and in supplying an emotional release. He said he considers himself "a religious man," but he believes the church is In "decay" and doesn't necessarily accept all the dogmnas of any certain faith. The president said he feels that faith In the church Is being replaced by a faith In knowledg,. Ministers are at fault here, he said, because they often refuse to accept knowledge. Since there is Infinitely more that is unknown than is known, however, a person needs faith to take up where knowledge ends. Jones said he views the church on campus as being "extremely weak." He said he feels, however, that It is much stronger here than on other campuses. Students questioned about curriculum problems, the standing of the university in comparison to universities with the most selec tive reputations and building priorities. One senior in the group asked Jones a question he said had been on his mind for several years. He couldn't pass up the opportunity to find out approximately bow many bow ties the president owns. Dr. Jones replied that he buys about six a year, wears out about three, has been buying them about twenty years and let the students take it from there.

Regfstration wif be in Room Committee campus or Funds to existing organiations and those in formulative tages were allotted in a recent meeting of the Student Affairs Sup plementary Appropriations Committee. According to Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs Paul J. Fidler, the $13,2 allowed for student action groups was divided among nine organizaions. The largest sum, $7,600, went to the Student Union, while the next most sizeable amount, $3,000, was granted to - the "Egg", a for thcoming student publication. The remaining seven organizations financed, and amounts allocated to them were: the USC Rugby Football Club, $1,500; the In ternational Relations Club, $600; Mortar Board, $500; Sport Parachute Club, $350; Afro American Students, $185; Young Republicans, $75; and In tramurals, $25. The Student Affairs Ap propriations Cdmmittee, con sisting of six students and five faculty members exists, explained Symbols acquire meaning Symbols have a way of taking on meanings not really true to facts, says a former official of the Castro government in discussing the popularity . among anti establishment groups of such revolutionary figures as Che Guevara and Fidel Castro. "What many student and militant groups using these symbols fail to realize," explained Dr. Nestor A. Moreno, one-time under-secretary of public works in the Cuban Revolutlionary . Government, and now assistant professor at USC, "is that in Identifying with Che and Castro, they indirectly Identify with the kinds of establishment proposed by these men - a totalitarian government." Dr. Moreno also served as secretary of the national hank of social security. In this capacity, he had ample opportunity to view first hand the various political movements taking place in Cuba. Faced with the Impossibility of reversing the tide towards com munism, Dr. Moreno actively participated In revolutionary movements against Castro and was forced to leave the country immediately following the 1961 Bay of Pigs Incident. A member of the USC faculty since 1961, Moreno teaches Latin American government and politics and Spanish American literature, culture and civilization. Explaining that Castro has edeveloped his own brand of communisrn -- castroism -- Dr. Moreno said. "The motivating factor behind Castro's actions can be found in the goal that he set for himself - to be the leader of the Latin American revolution. He wanted a totalitarian government and a corresponding Ideology In Cuba to further his own purposes. "At the same time, he realized the economic limitations of the country." continued Moreno. "The Cuba Communist Party provided all the answers with the blessings of Russia making it possible to change the outlook, of the revolution from democratic to communist. However. Castro's goals opposed not only the desires and Interests of the region and of the United States, but also those of the Soviet Union. This explains the development of castroism as a form of com munism emphasizing the per sonality cult of Castro." He added that "Castro was trying to maintain the aid of Russia. while trying to promote his own revolution elsewhere. Other events seem to have made him realize that he Is no lengsr a decisive factor in Latin America. So he has lisen compelled to reinforce his ms pesitiem is~ Cube."
