feels that there is a “gap between the sciences and the humanities—owing to a lack of communication, but the gap can and should be bridged with more people in humanistic activities learning something about the sciences.”
Humanistic Activities Dr. Belle, who has been at USC for 38 years, has not debated before, but has often spoken on the subject.
“Before, I have always de bated with myself and the audience, but never with an other person like this,” he stated.
Dr. Belle went to school in France, at Roun in Nor mandy and at the University of Paris.
Dr. Kharasch, who has spent 16 years on the USC faculty, thinks the “long term aims of science will become fused with those of the humanities.
Patience “At this point patience and understanding between the two cultural views are especially necessary.”

Inspiration Wade, now retired as chairman of the board of the Southern California Gas Company, was graduated from USC in 1908, after majoring in chemistry under Dr. Stab-ler’s instruction.
Speaking of Dr. Stabler, Wade said, “It is my belief that these new laboratories will be a credit to the memory of the man for whom they are named and an inspiration to faculty and students today, as he was an inspiration in his time. Professor Stabler was a great chemist and a great teacher.”
Speaking at the dedication with Wade will be President Topping; Dr. Jerry Donohue, professor of chemistry and chairman of that department; and G. Everett Miller, USC trustee and president of the General Alumni Association. Dedicated Man “Dr. Stabler,” Dr. Topping said, “was one of thase dedicated men whose early association with the university provided the foundation for today’s events.”
Dr. Stabler joined USC in 1895, 15 years after its founding, as profesor of industrial and engineering chemistry.
Under his leadership, the School of Pharmacy was officially accredited and has has continued as one of the nation’s leading institutions in this field.

GERMAN REQUIRED
Vienna Study Offers Unique
USC’s new program of study at the University of Vienna is quite different from those programs offered by other American universities, Dr. Harold von Hofe, chairman of the department of German and head of the Vienna program, said yesterday.
“There are no specially created classes for the students,” he explained. “They will attend regular classes along with the other students at the university. These classes will all be conducted in German and it is required that the USC students be able to take notes and understand lectures in German.” Universities like Stanford and Redlands set up special courses conducted in English for their students attending their campuses abroad, Dr. von Hofe said.
USC Differs The USC student differs from the other students at the university only because they will have a representative of USC there to advise them,” he said.
This adviser wiil be Dr. Joseph Strelka, who is at USC this semester to advise students preparing to attend the Universilty of Vienna in the fall.
The program, lasting from Oct. 1 to June 30, is open to junior, senior or graduate students admitted to USC and having completed their sophomore, junior or senior year with approximately a 3.0 grade-point average. In addition, they must have completed at least 20 units of German.
Applications for the program may be picked up in the German department, 407 FH. and should be made before May 15. There is also a fee of $50.
Small Scale Dr. von Hofe said because he wants to start the program on a small scale, only eight to ten students will be accepted for the first year.
These students will live in dormitories provided by the city of Vienna. Graduate students may make their own
arrangements for living.
The year of study will cost about $2,400.
Dr. von Hofe also stressed the background against which the students would be studying.
As adviser, Dr. Strelka will arrange tours of 2,000-year-old Vienna and of Austria USC students in Vienna next year will take part in the university’s 600th birth day. In celebration of its founding in 1365. festivals parades and special lectures will be held in the spring of 1965.
Counts Here
Each student’s program of study will differ according to his interest. 'Jhe courses will count toward a degree from USC, not the University of Vienna.
“In order to receive a degree from the University of Vienna,” Dr. von Hofe explained, “the USC students would have to be admitted as regular students. This involves passing a Latin exam.”
The USC - Vienna program was developed by Dr. von Hofe while under a Fullbright grant in Vienna during 1963-64. He had previously talked to President Topping about arranging such a program.
“In talking to the administration of the University of Vienna about such a pro-, gram, they were concerned with whether USC students could handle the classes in German, and whether they would be working for a degree from USC or Vienna.” German Exam
Dr. von Hofe and the Vienna faculty agreed that; Dr. von Hofe should be in charge of selecting the students. He will give an exam in German to students wishing to attend to determine whether they have had enough German.
In explaining some of the differences between American universities and the University of Vienna, Dr. von Hofe said “there is a much more formal relationship between professors and students. There is little give and take.”

75 Join IR Fraternity
TOP MEMBERSHIP — Associate Professor of International Relations Norman R. Fertig (left) and President Gordon Stracha4 salute the two-year rise from four to 75 Delta Phi Epsilon professional fraternity men at USC. i
Delta Phi Epsilon, professional foreign service fraternity, has grown from a group of four to a full-fledged fraternity of 75 in two years.
The fraternity, which draws members from international relations, business economics and international trade, economics and languages owes its growth to increasing interest, says president Gordon Strachan.
Delta Phi emphasizes establishing contacts and developing interest in the field.
The fraternity includes faculty members as well as students, and add 25 pledges each semester.
The group's activities include lectures and speeches from consulates and professors of subjects related to foreign service.
This semester’s activities revolve around three events.
Highlighting the speaker program will be Hans J. Mor-genthau, a profesor from the University of Chicago who is known as “the realist in the field of international relations.”
His chief work, “Politics Among Nations,’ is required reading for all international relations majors.
The second highlight on the
Toy Caravan Carries Food, Fun to Orphans
The Newman Club became a father two Sundays ago as a caravan of toys, food and hope was taken to two Tijuana orphanges.
Marci Hostettler, a member of the local Newman Club, brought the project to the attention of members. The university was used as a depot and meeting place for the aid material and members of the various clubs participating.
More than 100 college students crossed the border to deliver the food, clothing and toys to Casa de Cuna and Casa del Nino Pobre orphanages. The students brought with them more than six tons of gifts.
Delta Phi calendar this spring is a meeting with the Board of Counselors. This board, which is to the School of International Relations as the Board of Trustees is to USC, is composed of important men in the field of international relations. Among them are Ambassador Dreyfus and David Bushnell of Bushnell Optics.
A Founders Day Banquet, to be held April 3, will honor Chancellor Von KleinSmid. who is a member of the fraternity.
These three central events will be accompanied by ordinary meetings for rush, business and planning, and a ancj propaganda with assis-fareweli meeting at the end tance from other professional
schools, will be offered as credit-earning work during the Summer Session.
The Institute program, according to Dr. Rodger Swearingen, professor of internation relations, and director of the Research Institute, will consist of five closely related activities.
They are core content
Casa de Cuna, which began with a floor and some blankets. is now making progress in its responsibility for some of the Tiajuana homeless, thanks to a project spearheaded by Newman clubs at colleges and universities all over the Southland.
The groups of students played with the children, sang, passed out the gifts and generaly shed a ray of sunshine and hope into the children's lives.
More trips of this nature are planned. The next one is scheduled for a Sunday in March.

Campus polticians are still exhibiting an unsually modest reluctance to file for ASSC offices, Elections Commision er Scott Bice reported yester day.
Bice said filing, which ends this Friday at 5 p.m., has been “especially slow this year” with only 15 petitions handed in as of yesterday afternoon.
Failure to meet the filing deadline would mean that the delinquent candidate’s name would not be placed on the official ballot, the elections commissioner warned.
“If a candidate does not meet the Friday deadline, he will have to enter as a write-in.” Bice said. “It’s therefore very important that candidates get their petitions in by Friday.”
Bice also explained that this year's elections would probably be run differently from previous years.
“I met in conference with Acting Dean of Students Tom Hull, counselor Wally Kara-bian, and Assistant Director of Special Events Sheldon Disrud last month to go over the existing election code.
Conference Study
“In that conference we picked out certain conflicting points between the election schedule and the university master calendar and put them in more workable form,” Bice continued.
The elections commisioner said he then conferred with Senate President Dennis Barr, who later presented a bill to the student legislature which included the points which Bice and the administration suggested for revision.
The elections code bill was passed at last Wednesday’s Senate meeting after its introduction by Barr. It must now be passed by ASSC President Ken Del Conte’s Executive Cabinet before it can be put into effect. Scheduling Change Chief item included in the revised code is a rescheduling of election dates.
Formerly ASSC elections were held during the seventh week of the spring semester,” Bice explained. “Due to the conflict with early Easter and other scheduling difficulties, elections will be staged this year during the ninth week, on April 15 and 16.”
Second major point listed in the bill is a “redefinition” of voter eligibility.
“There has been a redefinition of the unit load of a
full-time student,” the elections commissioner said. “The registrar now says a full-time student must carry 12 units, not 10 as previously.”
“Therefore, in order to vote, an undergraduate has to carry 12 units,” he continued. “The graduate student still has to have 8 units.”
The election commissioner said the hours during which the polling booth would be open on election days have also been changed — from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. to 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
“This is because there hasn’t been any voting in the past during the first early hour,” Bice pointed out.
Another change included in the revised code was the method of supervision. In previous elections. Pinkerton guards have been hired to watch for voter violations and tampering with the ballot box.
Dean Supervises
“This year the dean of students office will supervise the voting,” Bice said.
“The Dean’s people will furnish better supervision because they will be more aware of the procedure,” Bice claimed.
The elections commisioner said one Pinkerton guard would probably be retained to watch the ballot box. an assignment which requires no special knowledge.
Bice maintained that the revised elections code contained no radical changes, but merely made the old procedure more workable.
“This new code is just more streamlined,” Bice said. “There are no major changes. The new code was merely brought more in line with the ASSC constitution and the needs of the registrar's office — it’s mainly a matter of dates and procedures.”

Educators to Learn Course Plans In Communist Research Institute
A six - week Institute on Communism, designed to give educators a professional and objective approach to the planning of courses about communism, will be offered June 22 through July 31 at USC.
The course, to be administered by the Research Institute on Communist Strategy
of the year.
Delta Phi became known to the university last fall as a strong professional fraternity.
The speaker programs, which included Tiboi Tollas, an Hungarian freedom fighter, and the African speakers drew a large turnout, Strachan said.
Officers for the USC chapter of the national fraternity include Strachan, president; courses, which analyze the Mike Tirido, vice president; basic structure of the Soviet John Nalbandian, treasurer; Political system, economy
Gary Mohler, corresponding secretary; and Paul Ferguson, recor^ng secretary.
and foreign policy; a lecture series on communist doctrine; a documentary film series; a
[teachers’ workshop; reading;
: and visual presentation.
The climax of the Institute will be an evening forum series on the Communist Challenge which will be open to the public.
This summer’s program will represent the second such Institute to be sponsored by jUSC.
Enrollment is limited.
Since the first institute was held in the summer of 1962. many states have required or recommended courses on communism and there has been widespread national revision of curricula to accomodate such new courses or units in existing courses, Dr. Swearingen said.
“In the American society of 1964 there is probably no more vital question than that of the nature and dimension of the Communist challenge and its meaning to our nation." Dr. Swearingen saidf , “This question is one ofi
vital importance to those who' are charged with the grave! responsibility of providing both an awareness of the problem and accurate information with reasoned evaluations on Communism, to the young people of the country' who will soon be participating in public affairs.
“It is to these goals that USC aims its 1964 Institute on Communism,” Dr. Swearingen said.
Each student at the Institute will be required to enroll in two of the three core courses to be offered. The courses are “Government of Russia,” taught by Dr. Carlton C. Rodee, professor of political science; “Communist Economic Organization and Development,” Alan Brown, assistant professor of economics; and “Soviet Foreign Policy,” conducted by Dr. Swearingen.
The lecture series on Communist doctrines will meet
once a week and will be conducted by a group of educators from various fields of study.
The documentary film series, “Communism: Myth vs. Reality,” featuring documentary film and interviews with leading authorities on Communism, was originally produced jointly by the Research Institute and KNXT-CBS Television.
After being shown in five major cities on CBS-owned stations, it has been converted to the 16mm film for educational USP.
Documentary film included in the series comes from USC's 167,000-foot film collection on Communist activities. gleaned from 25 sources.
The public lecture series will include five lectures. They are “Communist Strategy in Latin America,” by William Stokes, senior professor of comparative po'^ical insti-(Continued Page 2),
