SCIENTIFIC METHODS “Though theology is not generally considered a science today, there is no reason why it should not be. And as a science it should use scientific methods,” he said.
“There is no real controversy between the sciences of theology and psychology: they are both striving for the same thing—man’s salvation. The language of the clinical psychologist is often easier to understand than that of the theologian, and since one aim of any science is to get its ideas across to mankind, there is no reason why theology should not use terms understandable to everyone,” he said.
Most religious sects today are still arguing about terminology, he added, rather than trying to deal with the individual's problems.

Five Pass Last PiKA Scrutiny
Contestants in the Pi Kappa Alpha Dream Girl title race last night passed the last hurdle before the final decision is handed over to a non-partisan board cf experts Saturday night.
Of the ten who faced critical PiKA members after a formal dinner in the Figueroa street castle, five finalists survived. They are Doris Gail, Mary Martinez, Ann Roehmheld, Claudia Garbett, and Bonnie Theurer.
Saturday night the fraternity will hold its annual Dream Girl ball at the Pacific Coast club in Long Beach, at which a panel of three Hollywood judges, billed as “experts of feminine beauty,” will select the girl who will be designated 1948 Dream Girl of PiKA. Experts who will do the judging are Earl Moran, nationally known artist, Max Munn Autrey, Hollywood photographer, and Wally Westmore, makeup specialist. Guest of honor at the Saturday night ball will be British-born radio star Beryl Davis, who will appear at the affair directly after doing her regular Hit Parade show earlier the same evening.
Last night’s voting at the PiKA house was preceded by a program of music and dancing, featuring Johnny Matson and his Seacomb-ers, who are currently appearing at the Camel Room.

Theta Chis Are Also Dreamers
Following the influence of spring and the trend toward naming a sweetheart, Theta Chis are in the throes of deciding among 21 campus cuties who will be 1948s Dream Girl of Theta Chi.
After a week of informal luncheons for the contestants held at the chapter house, the candidates nominated by sororities and dormitories will be entertained at a luncheon and swimming party at the Town House Saturday. Voting to decide who will wear the jeweled pin of Theta Chi is Monday night, and the winner will be announced Saturday, May 15, at the fraternity’s annual Dream Girl formal dance.
The Dream Girl and her two attendants, who are also being chosen, will present a check to the Casa Colina Convalescent home for crippled children at Chino, the fraternity’s philanthropic project.
The heralded Gariss-Johnson clash, which filled the allotted period and spilled over into a postrally session on the Old College steps, accented the Unity party rally yesterday.
After the introduction of candidates, Chairman Herb Riley introduced the challenging speaker, Jack Gariss.
Gariss’ questing centered around three main contentions: first, that the Unity party “fidgets” on a word, not taking a definite stand either for or against abolition of discrimination; second, that the candidates UP offers the voters do not support each other or the same principles; and third, that Grafton Tanquary’s stand on machine politics is not consistent.
With regard to the first point, Gariss asked Leonard Johnson if he supported the “abolition of discrimination” plank. Johnson said he did, and Gariss asked how, then, he could run with a party which voted down the word “abolition” in favor of “opposition.”
Bob Padgett interposed to say that the party wished to use the stronger verb “opposed.” Tanquary said that “abolition” implied legislation and that one can’t legislate morality.
On his second point, Gariss asked Johnson if he and other candidates backed Joe Flynn for ASSC president. Johnson replied that they did. Gariss asked then if Dick Barton, UP candidate and Dobkin supporter, supported Flynn, opponent to Dobkin. Padgett answered that Barton is only endorsed by Unity, not a party candidate, to which
Gariss said Unity should explain the candidate-endorsee status to voters.
Concerning his third point, Gar-
iss quoted from UP mmutes of Apr. 8, in which Tanquary allegedly stated that TNE is composed of sincere individuals only wishing better school government. Pat Corrigan strenuously objected that the remark was not intended seriously then or now.
Festival
Concert to Star Solo Baritone
Spotlighting Baritone William D. Vennard, professor of voice, as soloist for the evening, the University Symphony orchestra will offer the fifth program of the current music festival Friday at 8:30 p.m. in Bovard auditorium. The “admission free” concert is to be conducted by Prof. Ingolf Dahl.
“Professor Vennard’s solo is the composition, Music for Orchestra and Baritone Voice, Ernst Toch, which depicts the philosophical relationship of the individual to God, represented by a humble man at work on a great Gothic cathedral,” explained Professor Dahl. “The baritone narrative is backed by a strong mood setting by the orchestra.”
Formerly a professor of composition at SC, Composer Toch wrote Music foir. Orchestra and Baritone Voice in 1931. It is based on poems from “The Book of the Hours, Rainer Maria Rilke, and has been performed frequently in this country ands Europe, said Professor Dahl.
Based on church hymns, Sym phony No. 3, Charles Ives, a Pulitzer prize winning composition, develops the religious theme into a “fully-rounded work of impressive beauty,” he said. Mr. Ives has subtly included occasional passages to represent a wheezy church organ and not-al-ways-on-pitch congregational singing.
sioner Jerry Jones, the following have had petitions accepted by the elections commission:
CANDIDATES NAMED
For ASSC president—John Davis, Milt Dobkin, Joe Flynn.
ASSC v i c e-president—Barbara Potter, June Robinson, Marie York.
AMS president—Grafton Tanquary.
ASSC secretary—Elynor Enz, Jeanne Gard, Patti Peter, Pat Corrigan.
The assembly will be the last chance for aspiring politicos to be nominated for ASSC offices before the elections which begin May 13. Nominations for all offices will be received from the floor, and anyone so nominated must file his petition with the elections commission in 235 Student Union before 5 p.m. this afternoon, Jones pointed out.
BROOKS WITHDRAWS
Marvin “Bud” Brooks announced his withdrawal as a candidate for president of the College of Commerce in a letter to Jones yesterday. Jones also reported that the elections commission had declared four other candidates ineligible because of failure to attain a 15 cumulative grade average. The following candidates were named ineligible:
Bob Dickey, senator-at-large on the IFC ticket; Mike Galloway, junior class president. Unity party; Dennis Murphy, sophomore president; John Prince, president of College of Pharmacy.
Because of difficulties in obtaining space, the political rally scheduled for tonight has been moved ahead to next Wednesday night. It will be held either on Bovard field or the tennis courts.
Knights Continue Interviews Today
Trojan Knights will continue interviewing applicants today, 3:30 p.m,, at the Kappa Alpha house, 700 West 23th street, for all men whose last names begin with C or D. All petitioners are asked to appear for interviews wearing coats and ties.

Faculty Edges LAS In Second Win, 3-2
by Pete Boughn
In a surprisingly smooth ball game, the faculty ten proved beyond any doubt their superiority with a softball as they edged out a tired organization of LAS wheels 3-2 yesterday. The victory made it two straight for the educators.

managed their only runs. The fireball portsider scored a run himself in the final frame which proved to be the clincher.
Jesse Unruh, chucking for the losers, found his windmill windup a bit detrimental to endurance, and after three straight walks in the fourth inning, retired in favor of Jack Latham.
The educators scored one run in the third and two in a somewhat hectic fourth inning. An error by third-sacker Capt. Dan Kubby in the third allowed shortstop Al Zech to reach first. Singles by Egan and Brawn drove the initial run across the plate.
Three successive walks in the fourth sent right-fielder Russell Hammargren to the plate with the bases loaded. Displaying the calm of cold steel, he lashed a ground ball to the infield. The ball proved too hot to throw around the bases, and in the ensuing confusion two runs crossed the plate for the instructors.
Left-fielder Lawliss donated the student’s lone tallies in the fourth frame when, approaching a line drive, he suddenly decided to leave his feet and field the ball from a prone position, face up, that is.
BIRMNGHAM, Ala., May 4.—(HE) —Anti-Truman convention delegates and electors took the lead in first returns from the Democratic primary tonight, but strong “loyalty” candidates were cutting down their margin.
At the same time, Gov. James E. Folsom was taking an indirect licking. His endorsed candidates for U. S. Senator and national committeeman trailed badly. Folsom himself was well back in the sc nun-ble for a delegate-at-large pc~t.
In the first southern ballot endorsement of the Dixie revolt against President Truman, de’.egate-at-large candidates pledged to bolt against a civil rights platform placed five men among the eight leaders.
In the race for the 11 electorial college seats, however, all 11 leaders were pledged to vote against Mr. Truman or any other civil rights nominee, according to the early returns.
Fete Schedules Stevens Sonata
First performance of a sonata by Halsey Stevens, SC assistant professor of music who recently was awarded the publication award of the Society for the Publication of American Music, will be given tonight when the Festival of Contemporary Arts presents its fourth program.
The sonata No. 3, played by John Crown, will highlight a program devoted to works of contemporary American composers. Four of the composers whose works are represented in the program are members of the SC faculty. These composers, in addition to Mr. Stevens, are Ernest Kanitz, Miklos Rozsa, and Ingolf Dahl.
Opening the program, which will begin promptly at 8:30 p.m., is the “Sonata Califomiana” for alto sax-aphone and piano, Ernest Kanitz, played by Ingolf Dahl and Glen Johnston. Other compositions are the Piano Sonata No. 2, Harrison Kerr, played by Lillian Steuber; Sonata for two violins, Opus 15, Miklos Rozsa, played by Anton Maaskoff and Glen Swan; and Sonata No. 3, Halsey Stevens, played by John Crown.
Second section of the program will include ‘ Hymn and Toccata. ’ Ingolf Dahl, played by the composer. Closing the program will be a trio for violin, cello, and piano by Walter Piston, played by the Hancock Foundation trio composed of Anton Maaskoff, Stephen De'ak, and John Crown.

DT to Present Battle Column
With so much political crossfire confusing the students about the forthcoming school elections, the Daily Trojan is doing its unbiased best to clear up the party issues. In a “battle column” that will run in the Monday issue of the DT, politicos from the three parties wiU be given the opportunity to air their views.
In order to get their statements into print, the party men will have to follow these directions: statements should be typed with doublespaced lines, as close to 48 lines as possible, and must be turned in to the DT office by Friday noon. Aims and platforms of parties as well as particular candidates may be voiced.
Madrigal Singers To Give Program
To better acquaint the student body with activities of the SC Madrigal Singers, an evening concert will be given next Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. in Hancock auditorium.
The Madrigal Singers is a choral group whose name is derived from the type of music used in their programs—the gay madrigal of the Elizabethan*	-
period. The music was performed in an informal setting around a table in the baronial halls of the 16th and 17th centuries. Family and friends would gather after dinner to sing by candlelight, the solos were usually given to the guests.

ceived considerable recognition for its public appearances at the Music Guild Series, Laguna Beach, and the Wilshire Ebell. Dr. Charles C. Hirt, director of choral activities at the university, is the present con-

The concert affords all music lovers an opportunity to hear a well-polished group of artists perform as soloists as well as an integrated choral group.
