Contemporary Builder Tells Views Tonight
Neutra Advocates ‘Modern Design’
For 1947 Builders
He thinks American architecture is largely a throwback to the middle ages and about as practical as a Chippendale chair. He’ll tell why tonight at 7:30 in Harris hall plaza.
Speaking in “general, nontechnical” terms, Richard J. Neutra will emphasize the planning of modern structures according to the needs of the present day. He has extended an invitation to all students, regardless of major, to listen.
Considered a revolutionary in the world of architectural planning. Neutra is one of America's most prominent figures. Widely known, both in the United States and throughout the rest of the world among men of his profession, he is a comparative unknown to laymeij. NONCLAS SICAL
He is chiefly known for his attempts to break away from the conventional classical schools of architecture.
"We must handle present architectural problems with a present-day viewpoint,” 'he says. "Architectural problems today have no precedent in the past. We cannot go to the past for our solutions.”
Emphasizing that his speech would be aimed at all students. Neutra said that today’s planning problems go beyond the architect. The planning of a house, a school, hospital, or city now becomes a problem of economics, politics, and sociology, he said. Simply copying classical styles would solve none of these.
PROVIDING FOR NEEDS
“Renaissance architecture was designed to fit Renaissance problems.” he said. “We cannot look to its architecture to fit today's problems.”
A city must provide for all the needs of the people who are bom. grow up, and later live in it, he said. Present-day American cities do not do this. One example, Neutra stated. Ls the lack of provision for entertainment for young people.
“They are forced into commercial establishments, many of them bad.” he said. “If they cannot find entertainment elsewhere they will go to saloons, bad movies, and other places.”
Managerial Training Offered to Graduates
P. F. Terrill, regional personnel manager for Montgomery Ward, will interview prospective candidates for store management training, preferably graduates from the School of Business Administration, tomorrow.
All students interested in seeing Terrill should contact Mrs. F. B. Watt in the student employment office. 320 Student Union. Interviews are by appointment only.

“Band Wagon” transportation in “wildly decorated cars or reasonable facsimiles,” according to Betty Brown, publicity chairman of the affair, “will transport party-goers from school and row to the Casa every ten minutes from 7 to 8.” Dancing for the affair will begin at 9.
Protected by the able bodies of Professors Camrose, Caldwell, and Vedder, the “Faculty Booth” will combine scholastic talents in the setting up of a baseball and ten pin concession for “more brawn than brain” Trojans.
Prizes for the most original, beautiful, humorous, most “ticket taking” and best all around “Sweepstake” winner will be awarded by Bullocks, Robinsons, Phelps-Terkel, Silverwoods, and the University Bookstore. A perpetual plaque given by L.A. Bulford and company will go to the “Sweepstake” winner.
Tickets for the carnival may be obtained this week from various coeds on campus, through sorority houses, or the Y house, according to Julia Millikan, chairman of the Carnival. All proceeds go to the Y budget.

Marshall Says Soviets Guilty
WASHINGTON, Apr. 28— (UJ9 — Secretary of State George C. Marshall tonight blamed the Soviet Union for failure of the Moscow conference but revealed that Generalissimo Josef Stalin thinks compromises on all the major German issues will be possible.
In a radio report to the American people on the seven-week meeting of the council of Big Four foreign ministers, Marshall revealed a portion of his conversation with Stalin at their meeting in the Kremlin on April 15.
Stalin told him frankly that he didn’t think any “great success” would be achieved at the Moscow meeting.
In his summary, Marshall not only blamed the Soviet delegation for making agreement impossible but sharply criticized the Soviet delegation for using the conference for "propaganda appeals to passion and prejudice" rather than using appeals to reason and understanding.
He also sounded a hopeful note for the future, saying that, despite disagreements and difficulties encountered, “possibly greater progress towards final settlement was made than is realized.”

Trovets to Sponsor Varied Musical Trio
by Gordon Hearne
Wallace is coming back—and the bowl won't have him! Seventy-three of 100 Trojans polled on campus rallied against a possible threat to free speech by denouncing the recent banning or Henry Wallace's scheduled Hollywood bowl talk.
Fourteen students believed that the bowl director* are justified in their action, and 13 had no opinion.
The ruckus began when bowl directors. after welcoming socialist leader Eugene Debs and Charles Lindbergh to the podium of the renowned bowl, decided they just couldn’t take Wallace.
Ignoring these alibis. Troy men and women who objected to having Wallace’s already-contracted chat cancelled, went to bat with this idea: "Within limits, any citizen should have the right to speak on any topic at any time."
Ellen Potter, pre-law major, can see some reason for the ban but feels that “On the whole it is not justifiable because it deprives citi-mm ef a fundamental right.”
Miss Potter does not think that anything Wallace eoud say would prove detrimental to Americans. “The public has enough intelligence and discretion to avoid being unduly influenced by any speaker.” she said.
One student went further than this in advocation of free speech:
WASHINGTON. Apr. 28—<U.R>— Former Vice President Henry A. Wallace left the door wide open tonight for a “peace party” draft -Wallace movement in the 1948 Presidential campaign.
In his first formal news conference since his return from Europe Sunday, he defended his right to speak out against President Truman’s foreign policies so Ion* as the United States was not at war.
“It will do more harm to outlaw Wallace's speech than hearing it could possibly do. no matter what the topic.” claimed Jack Mullan, general business.
Free speech ie the basic of
I American life.” stated Yvonne El-; bert, voice student, and then asked: “Why shouldn't Wallace say what he wants?” t
Not all Trojans sounded for opinions rode in on the Free Speech kick. Some think that Wallace is great and supported him as a man rather than as a matter of principle.
In this category is Ike Laufer. ad-j vertising. wno believes, “Wallace is ; the greatest mind in the world today. a world which is sorely in need | of someone of his scope to aid in leadership.
“Tlie honywood bowl directors are narrow-minded.” aided Laufer.
A student who favors muzzling Wallace is commerce major Tom Cosgrove. “Wallace has a right to say what he wants but the nation is in no condition to hear his anti-I democratic policies."
When asked what he thought about the Wallace ban Bill Clark, pre-law had a question of his own: “Who's Wallace?” he asked solemnly.
Pledge Grade Results Given
First place in the pledge grade-■ point race for last semester went to Sigma Phi Delta pledges who j made a 1.8 average, which was well | above the all-pledge average of 1.47, according to a notice released last ! week by the dean of men's office.
Alpha Rho Chi followed in second place with 1.67. Tied for third posi-| tion were Delta Tau Delta. Phi Delta Chi. and Theta Chi, with 1.61.
Pledges from other houses had the following averages: Acacia. Delta Chi. Delta Sigma Phi, Sigma Nu. 1.5: Alpha Epsilon Pi. Pi Kappa Alpha. Zeta Beta Tau. 1.4; Chi Phi. 1.39; Sigma Alpha Epsilon. 1.37; Kappa Alpha. Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Kappa Tau. Sigma Phi Epsilon, Tau Epsilon Phi. 1.3; Phi Sigma Kappa. 1.29; Beta Theta Pi. 1.28; Sigma Chi. 1.2: Theta Xi. 1.19; Kappa Sigma. 1 18.
The piano artistry of Wallace Berry combine with the bass-viola playing of Stuart Sankey and the vocal talent of 13-year-old Patricia Leach in the “Music in the Afternoon” concert at 3 p.m. tomorrow in Bowne hall.
Berry began studying piano at the age of 8, was granted a scholarship to Upper Iowa university when only 11. and entered SC as a special student when 17 years old. Upon being graduated from high school he was awarded two scholarships and is now a regular student at the university. Berry's recital in Hancock auditorium and frequent broadcasts on KUSC have made him a widely known figure in the field of music at SC.
As a member of the Hollywood Bowl symphony. Senkey has played under the direction of such notable conductors as Stokowski. Mitro-polous, and Klemperer. Sankey. who is now a member of the Pasadena Civic orchestra and the Beverly Hills Philharmonic, will play “Concerto in E Minor” by Koussevitsky. himself a virtuoso of the bass-viola.
The coloratura soprano voice of Patricia Leach, guest artist, has won her aonsHerable acclaim and made
her the youngest singer to win the American Federation of Music clubs contest. Among other selections Miss Leach will sing “Solveg’s

Trovets to Sponsor Varied Musical Trio by Gordon Hearne Wallace is coming back—and the bowl won't have him!
