DoctorTellsNeedTo Conclude
For Medical CareFor Son9fest
Some form of federal participation in a medical program is here to stay and at this point the problem is to determine what type of aid is best. Dr. Thomas Hamilton Brem. professor of medicine, said at the faculty luncheon yesterday.
Dr. Brem said he represents the minority of doctors who are in favor of a medical care for the aged plan.
"Thirty or 40 years ago this constituted no problem. Today, 17 million people are beyond 65 and 55 per cent of these have no income or less than $1,000 a year,” he said.
Vitally Concerned
Explaining that the federal government is vitally concerned with the medical care problem, he cited recent leg islative attempts to pass med ical care bills.
“In 1961 the Kerr-Mills Act was passed providing federal funds to states on a matching basis for the augmentation and implementation of their own welfare programs.” he said.
He explained that the funds are provided from the general fund to states willing to participate. In California the first 30 days must be paid for before eligibility begins.
No Limit
“There is no limit to the length of hospitalization and physician’s care after it once begins,” he said.
“Because the Kerr-Mills Act represents all phases of medical care it is socialized, governmental-controlled medicine for the particular groups it affects,” he said.

“Everyone on social security would be eligible without having to meet financial means for 90 days of acute hospitalization and 180 days of convalescent care, or 240 nurse- or patient-visits." he said.
Brecht Writes Purposefully,
White Notes
Bertolt Brecht, author of the forthcoming drama department production of “Good Woman of Setsuan.” was a man who wrote with a definite purpose. William C.
White, production manager for Stop Gap, said yesterday.
‘He did not mean to please the public,” White asserted. “He wanted to shock, even offend them, to stimulate them into intellectual discovery rather than emotional escape."
The theme of the play, to

finds it impossible to be virtuous in this world which is basically evil, White said.
Propagandist
Although a Marxist since authorities on music, she the late 1920s, Brecht must added.
Following the preliminary audition session a panel of four judges will narrow the original field of 20 en tries to an as yet undetermined number of groups that will sing at the musical show in the Hollywood Bowl May 18.
The Songfest Committee will notify groups of acceptance or rejection tonight.
Entry Judging
Entries will be judged on singing, appearance, arrange-jment preparation and general | opinion.
Completing the two-day auditions will be Phi Mu Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon in men’s division and Chi Omega and Kappa Delta in women's division.
Competitiors in the production division are Alpha Delta Pi and Sigma Alpha Mu, and Delta Delta Delta and Beta Theta Pi.

be recognized as a rational propagandist who contributed much to the theater through his ingenious innovations, the production manager commented.
The epic theater, somewhat influenced by the Japanese Noh Theater, was originated by Brecht, he said.
This theater deviates from traditional theater in that it is intended to communicate “pieces of knowledge" rather than experiences. White noted.
It subscribes to the ideas that man is alterable and altering rather than an unchanging creature and that the world should be depicted as it is becoming rather than as it actually is, he said.
Present Counts
Brecht believed that the theater must “inform” and that everything “must be for the present and ‘to hell with posterity.’ ” White explained.
The author’s “alienation principle of acting” dictated that the actor should not lose himself in the role, and that his performance should be one “perpetual aside,” White said.
His technique was completely “anti-illusionary,” the production manager pointed out.
Lighting, according to Brecht, should serve only as illumination, never to represent sunlight or a room lamp, he noted.
Yesterday, 11 entries participating in novelty, mixed and small division performed their song and dance routines.

Apparitions Haunt Troy During Dagger' Initiation
By ALAN BINE Assistant City Editor
About those apparitions on campus yesterday . . .
Seemed as if they came right out of the walls and into the classrooms. Students couldn't believe it, professors didn’t want to.
Skull and Dagger informal initiation day, that was the excuse they gave—all 31 of 'em.
New members of the alluniversity men’s honorary had to wear bermuda shorts and tuxedo tails and carry canes for the 50th tapping of the university’s oldest honorary.
None of them seemed to mind. In fact, most of the men added other eye-catchers such as Swiss hats, Egyptian shoes, mortar - boards, sweat-shirts, Mexican sombreros,
football shoes and jerseys, Shriner’s hats and civil defense-type helmets.
Former ASSC President Bart Leddel got so excited about the whole thing he decided to go swimming—after a little friendly persuasion.
Leddel, an exhibitionist from way back, took his quick dip in Doheny Fountain before several astonished onlookers and 30 not-so-asto-nished fellow members.
One of the men accused him of being all wet just before the timely dunking.
“I am not,” the ex - president insisted.
“You are now,” his cohorts replied as he dripped out of the fountain.
“You finally got even, huh, Drake?” the dampened but not distraught Leddel remarked.

He was speaking to Daily Trojan Editor Hal Drake in reference to a similar incident that livened-up the recent Senior Farewell. Drake modestly refuijed credit for the adventure.
Newly installed ASSC President Ken Del Conte was not to be outdone by his predecessor.
“The little ’ol wine maker, that’s me,** he announced proudly.
The former varsity half-fa a c k put up a convincing front in his Swiss hat and vest, khaki shorts, tails, cardinal and gold socks and red indoor track shoes.
My mother was a wine maker too,” he said, “only she got fireci for sitting down
on the job.”
Former varsity quarterback Bill Nelsen and Pharmacy Senior Class President Dave Kalemkiarian were also at their outlandish best.
Nelsen tromped through campus in his football shoes, and Kalemkiarian wore Egyptian palace guard boots “to discourage the snakes.”
Author to Discuss Meaning of Poem
John Ciardi, poetry editor of the Saturday Review, as well as translator, teacher, lecturer and a poet himself, will speak on ‘How Does a Poem Mean?” today at 11 in Hancock Auditorium.
His books of poems include “Homeward to America,” “Live Another Day” and In the Stoneworks.” His How Does a Poem Mean?” is widely used in colleges and high schools as an introduc-| tion to poetry.
For the past 14 years he; has been working on an English version of Dante’s “Di-, vine Comedy,” of which the “Inferno” and “Purgatorio”1 have already been published.
Began Early Ciardi began writing children’s poems relatively late.
“I began writing them for my own kids,” he says, “and I was 35 by the time I got around to becoming a father. Though by now, I am writing for the child in me as much as for the child in them.
‘I mean to make my child-hod last longer than theirs,” he explains. “At least it has so far. Besides, they are in hurry to grow up and I have no such compulsion upon me.”
