Phi Kappa Phi sets initiation
by Dick Thomason
Canine degeneration as exemplified by the Pagliacci of the campus, Tirebiter, is a sad thing indeed. In fact, the culprit himself Is so filled with self-condem-natlon that he is seriously considering an autobiographical novel to be called the “Tire.” But since the nostalgic aroma of rubber and gas rumes seem to continually thwart the aspirations of the furry vagabond, this may have to serve as the story of his life. Call it “The Lost Semester.”
Tirebiter’s misspent life might have passed with only an occasional remark being flung in his direction if it weren’t for the splendid example set by another of his species here on campus, Lowell Thomas. Lowell is a seeing-eye dog who instead of wasting his time around Troy, is taking Tull advantage of the facilities of this university by attending classes with his master, Jack Felthaus.
Intrigued by obvious comparison between these two completely opposite characters, the D.T. has taken the time and expense of presenting these two opposing philosophies of life in an exclusive interview.
In reference to his puppyhootl,
Lowell Thomas reminisced, “My family lived very frugally, you might even say we were poor as dogs ,and seeing the results of too little education, I determined very early to go tc college in order to elevate myself above the poverty into which I was born. So, now that I have the opportunity, I’m making the most of the moment by acquiring all the education I can.”
Tirebiter, scoffing at the words of his contemporary said, “Make the most of the moment? You bet, make hay while the sun shines. When I get too old to nip a Goodyear, I won’t have to resort to a book to get my kicks, I’ll have a few interesting details of my own lo mull over.”
There you have it, the age-old story—the ant and the grasshopper, the hare and the tortoise, the steady brother and Ray Milland. It’s easy to see who stands higher in the eyes of society, but which one really comes out on top? It’s our guess that Tirebiter will probably sooner or later be discovered by Hollywood and spend the rest of his life in the arms of glamour girls. And Lowell? Well, there’s nothing like a good book. Or Is there?

Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897. It was established to provide an honor society dedicated to the unity and democracy of education. It is open to honor students from all departments of American universities and colleges.
“Its prime objective,” according to Dr. Beers, “is to emphasize scholarship and character in the thoughts of college students, to foster the significant purposes for which institutions of higher learning have been founded, and to stimulate mental achievement by recognition through election to membership.”
Not more than 10 per cent of those students having the highest scholarship averages are accepted. Fellowships of $50(i are awarded each year to deservirg graduate students who enroll as candidates for advanced degrees.
Exam correction
“All students planning to register in _ chemistry 2aL or laL in the spring term will be required to take a 70 minute examination on Saturday, Feb. .16. at 10 a.m. Bovard auditorium.” according to Dr. S. W. Benson, department of chemistry, who asks that the following correc-Besides teaching at the SC School j tions be noted.
Chemistry laL is for students who have not had high school chemistry or who have done poorly in it, while chemistry 2aL is for students who have had high school chemistry. Either course is satisfactory for all chemistry prerequisites in the university.
"A slide rule may be used,” Dr. Benson stated, “but it is not necessary7. Pencils will be provided. The examination will be in two parts. All students planning to register in chemistry will take the first part, covering elementary mathematical operations. Only students planning to enter 2aL will take the second part, covering elementary chemistry.”
of Music, Mr. Shepherd is doing graduate work under the GI bill. Since his arrival on the campus, he has sung the leading baritone roles in the Bach Christmas Oratorio and the Faure Requiem with the SC chorus and orchestra. He sang the role of Jesus in Bach’s St. Mathew Passion under the baton of Dr. Max Krone and will be heard next | Thursday in the Vaughan Williams ‘Donna Nobis Pacem,” presented by the SC chorus and orchestra.
Mr. Shepherd is a student of Dr. George Hultgren, of the School of Music voice department, developer i of many successful singers of opera I ud oratorio.
Known as the organization which directed certain aspects of the atomic bomb, radar, penicillin and many other major priority projects, its SC commendation was in referenoe to a number of research activities.

Religious ideas to be examined
Two prevailing notions of religion will be examined by Dr. Irl G. Whitchurch, dean of the Graduate School of Religion, tomorrow in his speech bfore the Mens Faculty club meeting in the tearoom of the Student Union.
The first of these conceptions is that every man’s beliefs are his own business,” Dr. Whitchurch said. “This is a purely emotional defense of an indefensible jwsition.” “We respect every person who is interested in religion,” Dr. Whitchurch stated, “but this does not mean that we take his beliefs as true.”
The second of these considerations is that religion is every man’s private concern and can only be an emotionalized need of man for some power greater than his own. “Religion expresses sensitivity to claims of truth,” Dr. Whitchurch asserted, “but it needs to examine its truths the same as any other science.”
“Throughout history,” Dean Whitchurch declared, “religion has been critical of itself.” He also said that religion has been aware of the advances made in sciences and the attitudes of philosophy.
Polyzoides, Baker Carvell talk to IR
Casaba tickets available
Trojan basketball fans who wish to attend the game at UCLA Saturday night must present their activity books at 209 Student Union .this week. Number 63 in the books will be punched and tickets to the game given in exchange.
Analyzing the present world diplomatic situation, and offering plans of national conduct during these politically turbulent times were SC’s Adamantios Th. Polyzoides and Alonzo Baker, and Mrs. J. E. Carvell, British consul general in Ix)S Angles, in speeches they delivered at an International Relations club breakfast, Sunday at the Town House.
Mr, Polyzoides said of the much-discussed Russians, “We are dealing with a different set of men whose ideals and principles do not correspond to our own. Russia has made many mistakes and she has acted more aggressive than anticipated, but in view of what she has suffered, this is to be expected.
“The Soviet Union definitely believes in world government, yet she must give up her fears and meet us half way. We must realize that if one of the three pillars of the United Nations organization collapses, nothing will hold the edifice.”
Voicing the British point of view, Mr. Carvell declared, “In England there is strong opinion among political leaders as well as others that prevention of war in the long run will be achieved only .through world government.
“Under the United Nations organization, the voices of all, great and small alike, are heard, and
tlie principle of majority rule is
recognized. But there is one essential difference from the old league, it is that the position of the great powers is recognized.
“Maintenance of peace depends on a general equilibrium of big as well as small states, and this includes not only Europe but the near and far east and the Americas as well.”
Of the possibility of an armed conflict in the near future, Mr. Carvell pointed out that “at present the big three are the only nations that have the armed forces and the industrial capacity to wage sustained warfare, therefore the maintenance of peace depends on their harmony.”
Mr. Baker fitted the United States into the international jigsaw puzzle with his opinion that “the United States, as the third party in world cooperation, should be careful, for we must be the equalizing force in readjustment for the next few years. We should be neither too pro-British, or too pro-Russian.
“The United States has made a turnabout face in the history of the last few decades as regards collective security. In these few short years we have gone from almost complete isolation to a desire for world organization.
“If we do not backslide in the aftermath of peace negotiations, we can take a hopeful view of world cooperation.”
Starring Janet Lees. Barbara Will-cox, and Ray Scott, with Barbara Lynde, Shirleymae Spaulding, Joan Martin, and Frank George in the supporting cast, the troupe showed to advantage under the excellent direction of department head William C. de Mille.
The plot involves the complications which arise in the happy home of novelist Charles Condomine and his wife, Ruth, when the spirit of his first wife, Elvira, is brought to earth during a seance presided over by Madame Arcati, enthusiastic medium.
Taking advantage of the subtle, witty, and sophisticated lines and action by playwright Noel Coward, both cast and crew are turning out finished performances.
Sophisticated Ruth is well portrayed by AChiO Barbara Willcox, who up to this time has been type cast in ingenue roles. Her versatility is well displayed by the addition of nuances and double entendres in the reading of her extremely subtle lines.
Ray Scott, as the egotistical novelist, Charles, turns in an excellent, convincing performance. He shows to advantage especially in the scenes in which he tried to convince Ruth of invisible Elvira's presence.
In the role of the wraith Elvira, Janet Lees is a charming visitor from the world beyond. She glides about the stage in wicked glee and realization of the havoc which she is creating.
Partly because of the delightful way in which the author developed the character, and partly because of her own ability, Barbara Lynde as (Continued on Page 4)
