Actress Puffs Man s Cigar For Effect
Actress Allison Price is taking up smoking cigars.
It’s all in preparation for her forthcoming role in the drama department production of Bertolt Brecht's “Good Woman of Setzuan,” under the direction of Andrew Doe, visiting professor of drama.
Miss Price will be portraying a man in the show that will be staged May 6 through 11 each night at 8:30 in Stop Gap Theater.
For the most part, the star will be appearing as the “good woman,” Shen Te, a prostitute who has begun seeking purity in order to please three gods who have descended from Heaven.
When she realizes that virtuousness is impossible in this “basically evil world,” the character assumes a dual personality, with her ignoble self emerging in the form of her actual food they ate.	mythical male cousin. Shui

DELIGHTFUL AUDIENCE—Critic-poet John Crowe Ransom spoke to a capacity audience yesterday, satirizing English literature in his poems and comments. The 75-year-old writer is a member of the English department at Kenycn College and editor of the Kenyon Review.
Writer Satirizes English Literature
People's thoughts are made by what great minds had to eat. critic and poet John Crowe Ransom said in a sa-trized English literature lecture today.

nonsense, love and death, the 75-year-old professor from Kenyon College supported his point, rousing spontaneous applause with his satiric, “Survey of Literature.”
In the nonsense poem, Ransom proposes a theory that the effect of great writers such as Plato, Aristotle and Chaucer is determined by the
Music School Receives Gift
Scholarship totaling $2,000 will be awarded to students in the School of Music from funds voted last week by the Screen Composers Association board of directors, Brandon Mehrle, assistant to the dean of music, said yesterday.
The funds will be given to USC for distribution at the discretion of the School of Music, Mehrle noted.
The Screen Composers Association intended to have the Scholarships awarded to students in September of 1963 and 1964, he said.
The entire amount may have to be dispersed in 1964, however, because of the lack of time involved, he explained.
Music students normally apply for scholarships in February and audition for. them in March, Mehrle said.
The exact procedure the music department will use has not yet been determined, however, but as soon as it has, the department will begin making selections, he added.
Prof. Ransom wrote, “What Her main difficulty so far these had to eat and drink is “learning how to act all is what we say and w’hat we over again,” which she claims think — God have mercy on is necessary for undertaking the sinner who must write a role in the unique “Brecht-with no dinner . . . No belly ian theater.”

and no bowels, only consonants and vowels.”
Nonsense Poems
The poem was the Final reading in a series of nonsense poems including “Her Eyes,” read by special re quest; “Insisting. Standing on His Head;” and “Our Two Worthies.” a religious satire.
All poets wTrite nonsense in addition to sense, the poet said. “At first they throw it away, but it gets a little bet ter as they try it again,” he explained.
Death Theme Reading seven of his poems on the classical theme of death. Prof. Ransom said death is something people must come to terms with.
“We must be there with tribute and love,” he said. “It is a grave and noble occasion that must uplift us even if w’e are filled with sorrow'. We go away wiser.”
Prof. Ransom read “Lady Lost,” a Chaucerian fantasy discussing the metamorphosis of a human being into another form. It described a small bird looking dolefully into a window in the rain.
If someone has lost “a delicate brown-eyed lady,” would they please come so she may return to her right home, her right passion, it asks.
For the men the poet read “Puncture,” a discussion of two soldiers after battle and “Death of a Culture,” a poem of the South, which Prof. Ransom wrote “under the spell of Henry James.” The latter work presents the tion manager, thoughts of a Southerner who has returned from Europe to view the South with cream of European culture.
Everything must be “colder and harder,” and basic techniques in regular theater must be “completely redone,” Miss Price noted.
The success of “Good Woman of Setzuan” lies with the director to a far greater ex tent than is usually the case with a dramatic production she asserted.
Director Does has been ex ceptionally helpful in preparing the actors for their performances. the star added.
Miss Price said she does not entirely agree with the author’s premise that the world is evil, but feels it must be kept in mind that “Brecht used exaggerations to bring his point across.”
The actress does agree however, that “goodness and survival on earth are never natural concometants.”

The editorial publisher of Scientific American will speak at the annual undergraduate academic honors convocation Thursday at 10 a.m.
Gerald Piel, wrho edits the New York-based magazine will talk on “The Impact of Science and Technology on the Pattern of American Culture.” All 10 a.m. classes will be canceled for the convocation.
Piel will salute hundreds of USC students being honored at the convocation for their scholastic excellence. The students include those selected for academic scholarships, members of scholastic honor societies requiring B grade-point averages, students who have had A-minus grade-point averages for two previous semesters and undergraduates in the honors program of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
Piel acquired the 118-year-old Scientific American 15 years ago, and has built it to a record 335,000 circulation.
California’s 52.000 subscribers are the largest group while foreign circulation adds another 50,000 to the circulation total, including 227 in the Soviet Union.
An inventory of faculty opinion on public safety, public policy and all “environmental conditions” at USC will be turned in to a faculty committee tomorrow.
The inventory is the first part of a plan to find and solve the problems such as traffic, housing and recrea tional facilities here, Dr. Des mond L. Anderson said.
Alpha Chis Musicians Join Sing
Alpha Chi Omega sorority and Phi Mu Alpha fraternity have been added to the list of participants for Songfest to be held May 18 at the Hollywood Bowl, Chairman Noel Hanson announced yesterday.
The Alpha Chis had tentatively been scheduled to appear in Songfest after Alpha Tau Omega fraternity declared a few’ days before prelims it would not be able to accompany the sorority in the mixed division, Hanson explained.
Phi Mu Alpha, a music fraternity, was confirmed Thursday night as the group that would join the house, making it eligible, he continued.
The legality of permitting the newly formed team to participate was decided Saturday during a special meeting of the Songfest Committee.
The sorority was given the option at the time of the ATO withdrawal to join the women’s division, remain in the mixed division and chance finding a frattrnity to join them or step out of the event altogether, Hanson said.
The Alpha Chis were satisfied with the musical arrangements they already had and began seeking fraternity accompaniment, the chairman added.
