some of the shadiest dealing ever seen in the ASSC te chambers, senators attempted Friday night to back-2 tlieir voting record on the Lyddon anti-proportional esentation proposal. The attempt, denounced by Milt Dob-as a “cheap trick,” failed for lack of a two-thirds vote.
10-6.
Wendy Harbach. president of the College of Architecture, asked to have his vote reconsidered. Harbach. who voted against the Lyddon proposal three times Wednesday night, indicated that he had ‘ had a change of heart."
Harbach’s ‘•change of heart/’ it is reported, had been the subject cf a “bull-session” in ASSC President Paul Wildman's office earlier Friday afternoon. Reportedly in attendance were Edsel Curry, student union committee chairman; former ASSC President Jim Mitchell; Elections Commissioner Norm Galentine: Wildman: and Harbach. NOT EXPECTED? Harbach's move came as a bombshell in a session called obstensibly for the consideration of a campus charity drive and of a delegation to the Western College Conference convention. Many senators had failed to attend what they felt would be a routine special session, de-

Wen to Talk On Confucius
Hsi Tseng Wen will interpret the works of one of China's greatest philosophers — Confucius — at the first lecture in the Panorama of Religions series today at 3:15 p.m. in Bowne hall.
Mr. Wen, lecturer in ^siatic studies, will also discuss Taoism, a philosophy founded by Lao Tse, a contemporary of Confucius.
“I shall touch briefly on the differences between Taoism and Confucianism.'’ Mr. Wen said, "but I shall mostly emphasize the ethical teachings of Confucius and their influence on posterity.’’
Because many persons believe Confucius was an atheist. Mr. Wen will examine the great thinker s attitude toward religion.
‘ Since we can approach Confucius from so many angles.’’ Dr: Wen said, “we find him hard to pigeonhole and categorize into Western terminology.”
“Confucius was mainly an ethical teacher.” Mr. Wen explained. “He taught his followers how to be men, how to behave in society, and how to treas others.”
Mr. Wen is a graduate of Peiping and Yenching universities. In 1943 he did graduate work at Harvard university and at present is working (on his doctorate at SC.

NO CHANCE

The names of the Unity party nominees for the coming election I were announced last Friday by Lat-j timer “Gabby” Garrett, spokesman ' for the party.
j The nominees are Jim Young, Sigma Chi, candidate for College of Engineering president; Ed Wright, candidate for the vice-presidency of the junior class: Ed Penney, candidate lor freshman class president: Kappa Alpha Grafton Tanquary.

Autumn Dance Huge Success
Four hundred and fifty Trojans ; and their dates journeyed up the I Santa Monica coast to the Bel Air Bay club Friday night to make SC's “Autumn Serenade.” first all-university dance cf the year under the sponsorship of the student committee a huge success.
The “progressive jazz” for which Bobby Sherwood and his band are i famed was momentarily forsaken I for the affair, and dancers were furnished an evening of mellower fare, with ballads and slow numbers taking precedent. Sherwood shared the evening's spotlight with Troy’s student politicos, however, as rumors of surprise results in the special student senate meeting earlier in the afternoon crept into tabl»-side conversation.
Decorations of the bay club led dancers into an autumnal world of hushed red, green, and brown, as colored lights, gigantic leaves, and table settings set the motif. A roaring fire blazed all evening in the inner patio of the club, while warmer-blooded partygoers waxed rcmantic over candlelit tables in the dining room.

Existentialism after World War I was strongly influenced by the writings of the Danish philosopher, Kierkegaard,” Dr. Marcuse said. “The-works of Kierkegaard, who had died 50 years before, were translated into German and discussed by German scholars.”
Pointing out how Kierkegaard .iad influenced literary men such as Kafka and Brod and philosophers such as Jaspers and Heidegger, Dr. Marcuse then added that he had studied under Heidegger. At that time Heidegger was an unknown instructor. It was not until 1927 that he published his classic on German Existentialism “Time and Being.” Dr. Marcuse believes that Existentialism is outlawed in Germany today, even though it continues to surge on in France.
