Prostitul Sid Griffin In the United States many people are ignorant of the problem of prostitution, according to Dr. John S. Wilson of the USC History Department. Speaking on what is a touchy and potentially offending subject to many people, Wilson destroyed some of the myths concerning prostitution that many of us think to be true. Using his historian background for facts and figures, Wilson cited the myth of the needle men as an example. These men supposedly injected various drugs into women ' arms in crowded shop ping centers and then carried off the drugged women into captivity as prostitutes by telling onlookers they were her relatives who were going to rush her to the hospital. Wilson told his audience at the Russell House Art Gallery Monday Watergate. The summer of 1973 brought changes to the American con sciousness. Corruption and scandal in high places had plagued Washington before Watergate. This time, the presidency seemed to b' involved. And the presence of television cameras imposed a conscience on the American people, creating a citizen's jury. In 102 pictures and 35,000 words.

Not all of the Western world is as blind to prostitution as one might think, according to Wilson. He told of the American Reform Movement (ARM) and John D. Rockefeller both trying to show the public that the problem, like that of venereal disease today, must be brought out into the open to be dealt with efficiently. Rockefeller and the ARM both met with mixed success, Wilson said, like their predecessors, the American Purity Society and the Englishman, William Steed. It seems that society has always been shocked by the white slave trade, according to Wilson, but when it came to action they were stuck in a form of inertia where all felt the job of cleaning up any prostitution was beneath them. Wilson's lecture was a Relevations] the Watergate summer. They Could Not Trust the King offers a unique, personal glimpse into the personalities involved into the personalities involved in the Watergate scandals: "T those who cherish it, money can bring a sense of invulnerability and provide its own absolution.

Debbie Yoho, the organization's event chairman, said that although the talks will all be of some importance, many students have heard lectures, good and bad, several times during the day, and they are wary of another one. All of the students at Wilson's lecture, Yoho said, felt the talk was excellent and that this type of thing should be done more often, to get problems out in the open where they can be tackled more ef fectively. The next informal talk to be given will be by Arpad Darazs of the USC Music Department. The subject will be Music for Everyone and will feature members of USC's various choirs.
