Class Studies the Literary John Lennon use ' s College of Continuing Educa- tion has chosen this year to honor the late John Lennon by offering a class en- titled The Aesthetics of John Lennon . Taught by James Sauceda, the class fo- cuses on Lennon ' s literary style. The instructor, a part-time University faculty member who recently received his Ph.D. in the interpretation of litera- ture, has studied Lennon ' s artistry in depth. His teaching tools include books written by Lennon, and some rare Bea- tles albums. Ed Sullivan Productions has even released the hour-and-one-half film of their appearance on the show to the class. Sauceda also lectures from a book that he is writing called THE LIT- ERARY LENNON. John Lennon was not only honored by Sauceda ' s class this year, but also by the creation of a seven-foot bronze statue that was unveiled at the start of the fourth annual Los Angeles Street Scene Festival at City Hall. The denim clad Lennon figure stands with his arms crossed, holding a Mao cap. The statue is the work of twenty-seven-year-old Australian-born Brett Livingstone. The statue took seven months to create and cost $65,000. It will remain at City Hall for one year and then will be moved to a more visible site, possibly to the corner of Hollywood and Vine. RIGHT: FINAL WORDS — Miss Kay, a guest speaker for the Aesthetics of John Lennon class, was the last person to have an interview with John Lennon.

Select Few Enjoy Benefits Each year approximately 25 freshmen are chosen as Trustee Scholars. They will remain Trustee Scholars for their entire college career, provided they maintain a high grade point average. The student must first be a Presidential Scholar, entering the university with a college preparatory high school grade point average of 3.95 and an SAT score of 1250. The most promising Presiden- tial Scholars are then selected by the Board of Trustees on the basis of scho- lastics, extra-curricular activites, com- munity activities, and personal inter- views. Approximately 1% of the freshman class constitutes this select group. The Trustee Scholars started off the year with a picnic at Dr. Appleton ' s house. Other activites included a trip to the Marine Biology Research Center on Catalina Island, a Christmas party at Dean Mannes ' house, and several semi- nars. The group highlighted the year with their annual retreat to Idyllwild. Mortar Board, a National Senior Honor Society, selects its members on the basis of outstanding scholarship, leadership, service, and participation in activities of merit both within the univ- ersity and the community. The chapter, started at the university in 1960, has 182 active chapters consisting of 87,000 members. Students are nominated as juniors during the spring semester.
