In 1961 a campus politician at USC said: “We firmly oppose petty personal politics and groups who base their existence on winning elections at any cost, to the detri ment of the university and recog nized democratic principles. ’ The student was Dwight Chapin, who later became President N ixon’s appointments secretary—found guilty on two counts of perjury. Seven men who played promi nent roles in the Watergate bugging scandal attended USC. They in clude Dwight Chapin, Gordon Strachan, Donald Segretti, Herb Klein, Ron Ziegler, H. R. Halde- man, and Herbert Kalmbach. Donald Segretti’s uncle, Sisti Segretti, once said he was always sure his nephew would get into poli tics. “When he was at USC he was part of a group, Trojans for Representa tive Government,” Segretti’s uncle said. “They went out and nominated someone for president and then put it over. _ “When they got their man in, they thought they had really ac complished a lot. ” While campaigning for ASSC president at USC Gordon Strachan said, “There is an appalling gap be tween politics as they are now and the potential force and influence that health pohtics could lend the student body.” During Strachan’s campaign his opponent protested Strachan’s par ticipation in the race because of these reasons: Strachan had called for rallies in the names of all the presidential candidates and invited only himself. A disc jockey had put in a plug for Strachan on the air. Strachan’s supporters had given out fortune cookies in residence halls (a violation of the Elections code against campaigning in the re sidence halls). Strachan was ultimately fined $35 primarily because of the distribu tion of the fortune cookies and placed second in the race. Joe Saltzman, news writer and producer at KNXT-TV, was the editor of the Daily Trojan during Ronald Ziegler’s senior year at USC. Saltzman found it hard to disting uish the Ziegler of his college days from the other Watergate per sonalities that were at USC at the same time. “All of their names were differ ent, but their faces were inter changeable,” Saltzman said. “All of those guys looked alike, dressed alike, talked alike and acted alike. They were clean-cut and clean-shaven, neatly dressed and always polite and respectful. “They were not at USC to get an education, but to get politically and 311 University — North Gate SMORGASBORD AH You Can Eat For $149 DINNER: 5 p.m. - 7 p.m. PIZZA & SALAD SEVEN DAYS A WEEK Gameroom With Pinball • Foosball • Pool FREE DORM DELIVERY 846-1713 5 p.m. - 11:30 p.m. THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY. JUNE 26. 1974 The Grove This week—Savoids, Bogart socially ahead. They drank a lot, pulled political shenanigans and joked around. “Their philosophy was ‘What can we do that’s best for us?’, not ‘What’s right or wrong.’ They thought, ‘What’s good for me is good; what’s bad for me is bad. ’ This is the same as the Watergate philosophy. ” WHY HAVEN’T I SEEN ONE? One in 25 college students re cently polled admitted to at least one streak. That four percent comes to just about a quarter of a million nude runners for the total college population. (Criminal Justice High lights, Texas.) PUBOSH OR PERISH?

RUN THAT BY AGAIN! “Meat eating Mormons have higher rates of cancer than non meat eating Adventists.’ “That is the preliminary conclu sion of studies done at the National Cancer Institute (N.C.I.), a division of the Department of Health, Edu cation and Welfare. It has long been known that Adventists, a religious group which refrains from eating flesh foods, have a less cancer per capita, than the population at large. “Some scientists hypothesized that reduced cancer was related also to the Adventist abstinence from al cohol and cigarettes. A study was devised by the N.C.I. to compare the cancer rates of the non-smoking, non-drinking Mormans and the non-smoking, non-drinking, non meat eating Adventists. “The conclusion, Mormans have twice the cancer rate of Adventists. ’’ (American Vegetarian.) Wednesday “The Wrecking Crew” (Dean Martin, Elke Sommer, Sha ron Tate, Nancy Kwan) When a billion dollars in gold is hijacked in Denmark, secret agent Matt Helm (Dean Martin) is re cruited to recover it.

Friday “Kelly’s Heroes” (Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickies, Donald Sutherland, Car rol O’Connor) Proving in a fantasy-tinged film that war can be fun, casual, slow- talking Eastwood and tough sergeant Savalas lead a group of U.S. soldiers 30 miles behind enemy fines to rob a gold bullion bank. Saturday “Sahara” (Humphrey Bogart, Bruce Bennett, Lloyd Bridges, Rex Ingram) Humphrey Bogart plays one of his toughest characters in this warm film set in the Libyan desert. A handful of allied soldiers are cut off from their fines and forced to defend themselves. Sunday “The African Queen” (Humphrey Bogart, Katherine Hepburn, Robert Morley) Humphrey Bogart won his only Academy Award for his remarkable performance in this flick.
