Institution Will Award Scholarships Graduating seniors who are Interested in diplomatic service in Asia, teaching Asian affairs or other careers related to the Far East, may apply for a 19H3-64 East-West Center Scholarship. The deadline for application for the 100 scholarships is Feb. 3. The East-West Center Honolulu is an institution for promoting mutual understanding between Asia and the United States. It offers ex-pense-paid. 21 month scholarships for study at the University of Hawaii and in Asia. The scholarships include round-trip transportation, tuition. books and fees, housing, food, healih insurance, a small monthly allowance and an Asia field study grant. During the field study, the student has the opportunity to go to a country in Asia and j pain first-hand acquaintance with the particular culture and language in which he is ¡ specializing. ‘‘Gandhi believed in the law of love,” Dr. Sharma continued. “He called it non-violence. This is not the same as the idea of passive resistance, the popular conception of Gandhi’s theo-ryr. When a man is helpless and cannot retaliate, it is not nonviolence. “However, if a man can rise up and conquer his enemy and chooses to ignore 'him, this is non-violence,” he said. The author of several papers including “Ethical Philosophies of India” and “The Realistic Idealism of Nehru,” said that Gandhi’s follower, Nehru, con tinued basically the same ethi cal theories in dealing with India's problems. But Prime Minister Nehru is more realis tic and conscious of the modern world. Sharma said Nehru continued the work of Gandhi in the removal of the “untouchability aspect” of the caste system He noted that a large majority of government officials in India today are what used to be considered “untouchable.” Nason Wins Swett Award In Education Fraternity Will Meet Sigma Delta Chi, profession al journalism fraternity, will meet today at noon in 420 SU to discuss the coming Rose Bowl Edition of the Daily Trojan. Press Secretary Dan Smith said members of the group must attend the meeting so that special assignments may be distributed. He said members not attending the meeting will be subject to a fine. Smith noted that new members of the organization also must attend. Dr. Leslie J. Nason, professor of education and mathematics, was granted the John Swett Award for his contributions to public understanding of education. The award was presented by the California Teachers Association at the CTA State Coun cil meeting at the Ambassador Hotel. Dr. Nason, an Associated Press columnist on education, was cited for his “outstanding interpretation of the issues, achievements, programs and needs of public education.” CTA's public relations advisory panel, which selects the award winners, departed from its usual procedures in its selection of Dr, Nason, panel chairman Roy Rosenberg said. Ordinarily, the awards are restricted to state and local newspapers, radio and television stations. Dr. Nason writes a newspaper column, which is carried by nine California newspapers, and he is the author of the book “You Can Get Better Grades.” Following his graduation from Michigan State College, he began teaching high school in East Lansing, Mich., and Calipatria and Long Beach, Calif.

In 1953 he took a sabbatical from Long Beach City College to begin work on his doctorate at USC. He became a member of the faculty of the USC mathematics department and School of Education in 1957. University Begins Work On Rose Bowl Activities Float Decorators Seek More Help PA Students From Brazil Finish Study Five Brazilians recently re ceived certificates stating that they have completed their pro grams of study at the university’s School of Public Adminis tration. The men studied here under a School of Public Administration contract with the Agency for International Development, of the State Department. “The people under this program come here for advanced degrees in public administration,” explained David Mars, visiting associate professor of public administration. “They teach or practice in public administration in their countries — Brazil or Pakistan — and will return to take over the positions now held by USC professors working in those countries.” Mars said four of the men also received their masters degrees and the fifth has yet to complete his thesis. Nelson Mello E. Souza, Breno Genari, Fernando Bessa De Almeida, Luiz Lobo and Herminio Faria received certificates. The men all teach at the Brazilian School of Public Administration. At the ceremony in Rio de Janiero, Dr. Simones Lopes spoke. Simones is director of Brazilian Point IV, an American technical assistance program. He is also president of the Getuilio Vargas Foundation, which is the parent institution to the school at which the men teach. Drama Group Will Present Three Plays YOU MISSED A SPOT — Judge W. Blair Gibbens, who feels embarrassment is more impressive than a normal ticket, supervises sign washing by a traffic violator. "She'll see the signs better now," he explains. Preparations for the Trojan march through Pasadena to the Rose Bowl began in full yesterday amidst a flurry of drafings, band marching formations and a search for students to participate in the New Year’s activities.

The speech will be co-sponsored by Sigma Xi, honorary scientific research fraternity, and the USC geology department. Dr. Green believes that the lunar surface has formed largely as a result of volcanic activity and consists of craters and lava flows. LONG, COLD WAIT FOOTBALL FANS—Trojans got up early yesterday morning to try to get tickets to the Rose Bowl Game. Non activity book holders began standing in line Daily Trojan Photo by George Rosenberg at 7:30 to fill out applications for the 2,500 reserve-seat tickets available to them. Activity book holders will be able to buy tickets through tomorrow. Unorthodox Judge Wages Traffic War A woman faints, a man tries to run out the back door, others scream, but everyone present in the room must see the end of “Signal 30”—a film showing the mangled metal and the human suffering resulting from traffic accidents. On the required viewing list for traffic violators, the film is part of a campaign by a 6‘2-year-old USC alumnus to “cut traffic slaughter” by “object lessons” designed to bring the reality and horror of traffic accidents “home to people.” Mixing psychology with logic, W. Blair Gibbens, Santa Monica municipal judge, varies his lessons according to the nature of the offense. A 22-year-old woman, convicted in his court of driving 74 miles an hour in a 35 mph zone, received a suspended sentence from the judge provided she reported to the Santa Monica Emergency Hospital and stayed there for five hours counting the number of accident victims brought in for treatment. “Fines alone have little effect on traffic violators,” the judge believes. “If they see the results of careless driving and speeding, they will appreciate the importance of abiding by traffic laws.” In most cases, he says, the average violator, as distinguished from the habitual drunk or accident prone neurotic, pays his fine, even does a couple of days in jail, growls about how unfairly he has been treated and goes his way to repeat the mistake the next time the circumstances are right. The reason for traffic laws and restrictions does not become real to the average driver until someone is injured or killed because of his foolishness,” Judge Gibbens feels. “But let the driver see the huge cost at first hand,” he says, “let him hear the moans of the injured and smell the hot-metal aroma of a smashed automobile. “Let him see the blood, glass imbedded in the human body and see the faces of the ambulance attendants. Then it becomes real and personal and more effective than a $50 or $75 fine.” Speeders see the potential results of their action by cleaning accident debris from Santa Monica streets while the judge looks on. At times, dressed conservatively in a dark suit with a carnation in his lapel, the judge accompanies violators on a tour of a hospital emergency room, embalming room, mortuary and cemetery. ‘“Here’s the embalming room, here’s the laying-out room,’ I tell them,” the judge explains. “Then we visit the chapel and I point out that this is where the family goes one way and you another. Finally we visit the grave to see the end result of reckless driving.” Although he has UCLA, Santa Monica City College and Loyola University within his district, the judge says he has no more trouble with college drivers than with other groups. “The greatest number of violators are 25 years old and under and 65 and over,” he comments. “We have more male offenders than women, but females are usually the real serious violators — like speeding 100 mph in a 35 mph zone along Pacific Coast Highway.” Since he launched his “realistic campaign” against traffic terrors, Judge Gibbons has attracted local, national and international attention with voices for and against his “shock techniques.” Some have accused the judge of being inhuman and cruel, others have praised his actions, agreeing that actual contact with traffic accidents is far more flanked at the base by representatives of the six AAWU schools. lege audience,” Fry’s “A Phoenix Too Frequent” stars Farris Clark, Roger Towne and Judy Loshin.
