CAMBRIDGE: OLD AND NEW
Traveling Trojans Bask In English Traditions
Bv PONCHITTA PIERCE Assistant to the Editor (Editor's note: Miss Pierce was one of 28 USC students to attend the annual course at Cambridge Unive r s i t y this summer. This article, first of a three-part series, explains the background of the university and the atmosphere in which the students worked.)
* + ■*
For more than 700 years, Cambridge, the intellectual center, has oversh adowed Cambridge, the East Anglican town.
But the 28 Trojans who visited the historic 1 university to participate in its summer vacation course for forts eign students found the charm of the area and | its inhabitants as stim-l ulating as the university courses themselves.
As did the 400 other international students in the program, the USC students slipped away from rigorous schedule on weekends to taste the customs and traditions of the English way of life.
When not on these ; rare weekend jaunts, the contact with the || lore that makes up so If much of modern Britain |f was made through the university itself.
If Trojans going to classes daily, either on foot or bike, saw that the university — existing in a mixture of the old and the new — has maintained many of its medieval vestiges.
Years give evidence that Cambridge’s older characteristics will always be cherished and preserved by the English. But in deference to

reality, they are be- i n g adapted t o the changing needs of an atomic age.
Since 1209, the year when some students from nearby Oxford decided to leave their town and gown disputes and migrate to the city of Cambridge, the university has challengingly called students to its doors.
This impressive background is not the sole reason for the university’s status as one of the world’s leading educational institutes. As the visiting Trojans learned, the reputation comes from the tradition of work.
The month-long study of modem Britain included lectures covering its government, international relations, philosophy and fine arts delivered through three one-hour sessions in the morning and in 60- to 80-minute seminars in the afternoon.
Lectures, while simplified in consideration of the many foreign students who were not used to speaking English inten- sively, were inclusive
and informative enough to provide a good look behind Britain’s doors.
Many of the professors were drawn from the university’s colleges, and as such indicated the individuality of mannerisms and attitudes among English educators.
With delegates from approximately 30 countries participating i n the summer course, the Arts School — where many of the classes were held—seemed more like the General Assembly Room of the United Nations than a Cambridge lecture hall.
Here the USC students were able to exchange not only classroom ideas but news on each other’s countries and way of life.
The USC delegation included Pat Nevin, Susan B a r d e s, Coralyn Powell, Karen Maxwell, William Starrett, Don Segretti, Anthony Ro-gell, Richard Netherlin, Gil Garcetti, Mark Fra-zin and Robert Schwarz.
Others attending were Marjorie Morse, Alice Huber, Carol Soucek, Sherry Mitchell, Harold Sullivan, Leonid Kish-kovsky, Mike Girand and Jerry Staub.
Completing the group were Diane Decker, Hedy Davis, Sandra De-mas, Tom Bell, Bob Bracewell, Robert Glo-gow, Peter Granz and Harry Arnold.
During the monthlong stay, Trojans lived at the universitys’ colleges — Newham and ; G i r t o n for women; Christ’s, St. Catherine’s § and Trinity for men. With a good number of | English students still in residence, Trojans (Continued on Page 2)
CAMPUS POLL
Students Attack Publicity Surrounding Astronauts
Publicity and commercialism that have trailed U.S. men into space should come back down to earth, an informal Daily Trojan campus poll indicated recently.
Students were asked if they thought Project Mercury astronaut notoriety had gone beyond the realm of reason. Two-thirds of the 25 persons polled said it had.
“Astronauts are test pilots. People are setting them up as demagogues and ways of life,” claimed one student.
Treated Sensibly Warren Lortie, a sophomore in architecture, felt they should be respected and receive military honors but, at the same time, be treated more sensibly by the nation's press. .
"The publicity is detrimental to their lives,” Lortie explained. “Too much publicity usually distorts one’s self-image.” Bob Rich, a sophomore in accounting, heaped more criticism on the press.
Commercial Exploitation “The astronauts themselves haven't become too commercialized," he said. “They have just been used by newspapers for commerical purposes.” Another student, freshman Deanne Smith, felt over-done commercialism could hurt the country abroad.
“When John Glenn went upstairs. hats and sundaes named in his honor hit the market. This type of commercial exploitation of a scicntific project is declaring to the integrity cf the United States,” Mis* Smith gpid.
Francis B. Parker, a predental student, defended the publicity and commercialism received by the astronauts.
“They’re great men and deserve all the recognition they can get,” he said.
Pharmacy student Leif En-ockson was among the one-third that went along with the “way out” men's coverage.
“The men are national heroes and should be built up for today's youth as such. What better idols can you have?” “These men are doing work
for our country and should not be idolized,” Whale Ralphs
said.
The junior in business administration said businessmen are exploiting them for personal profits and “that’s not right.”
Jim Phelps, a junior in dentistry, said coverage, naturally, was important, but every other word didn’t have to be an adjective.
“The stories should be treated mainly as news items, not something you can buy in a grocery store,” he added.
Professor to Read Poems of Browning
Readings from the works of Robert Browning will be presented by Dr. Ronald E. Freeman, associate professor of English, today at 12:30 in 133 FH.
Dr. Freeman, speaking at the third noon reading program, will read portions from what he feels are Browning's two greatest works—“The Ring and

Browning uses the same dialogue that would be used by the people in the story. “If it is a painter, he uses a painter’s metaphors and images. This is characteristic in all of his writing,” Dr. Freeman said.
He also will read poems that

“These two volumes, published in 1855, established Browning as one of the greatest poets of the Victorian Age," Dr. Freeman said.

Music Dean Names New Opera Head
Karl Laufkotter, associate professor of music, has been appointed acting head of the opera department, Dr. Raymond Kendall, dean of the School of Music, said Friday.
Laufkotter will replace Dr. Walter Ducloux, who is on a sabbatical leave in Europe.
Laufkotter plans to produce and stage three performances of the contemporary opera “The Trial,” composed by the Swiss-born Austrian composer Gottfried von Einen.
The opera, translated into English by writers Ruth and Thomas Martin, has been performed by the New York City Center Opera Co.
Opera Showings
Performances of the opera, based on the novel by Czechoslovakian author Franz Kafka will be held in Bovard Auditorium on Dec. 1, 7 and 9. Hans Beer, instructor in opera, will be the musical director and conductor of the USC Symphony Orchestra. Gary Campbell will design the stage settings.
Laufkotter started his musical training at the municipal conservatory in Düsseldorf. Germany, and his singing career with the Municipal Theater in Coblenz. He was a leading tenor with the German wing of the Metropolitan Opera.
He also sang with the State Opera in Berlin, Covent Carden in London, Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, and opera houses in Rio de Janeiro, Vienna. Barcelona, Paris, Nice and San

USC to Offer Radical' Plan For Chemists
The chemistry depart ment will soon establish “radically different” graduate program in chemical physics, Dr. Sidney W. Ben son, professor of chemistry announced Friday.
The goal of the new plan, as outlined by Dr. Benson, will be to produce scientists with broad, intensive training mathematics, physics and chem istry sufficient to enable them to perform experimental and theoretical research in fields related to both chemistry and physics.
No Conversion
He said the program will not seek to convert physicists into chemists by requiring them to take the entire curriculum of undergraduate chemistry, its do many American universities and colleges.
A student with a bachelor’s degree in any of the physical sciences, mathematics or engi neering may apply for admis sion to the program for a graduate degree.
He does not need to perform his research in chemistry, but in an area related to chemical physics, Dr. Benson said.
Few Programs “A very serious need for such personnel exists in both academics and industry today,” Dr. Benscn explained. Many of the problems of the areospace industries, the solid state electronics industry, and the met allurgical industries specifically require research personnel completely familiar with the application of molecular physics to chemical system.
“Very few specialized programs now exist in the U.S. for training of chemical physicists and the majority of these are in the East,” he said.
The USC program will be the first such effort in the West.
Although the program will not accept students until next fall, support is now being sought for the program, which seeking twelve $4,500 fellowships and later expects to expand to accommodate nearly 50 graduate students.
Dr. Reining To Address 3 A Students
New and returning students of the School of Public Administration will meet today at 11 a.m. for a coffee hour in the YWCA lounge, Duke Rohl-iffs. Public Administration Council president, said Friday/
Dean Henry Reining and faculty members will speak to the students. Dr. Reining re cently returned to campus from assignment as head of a group working on Brazilian public administration contracts in Rio de Janeiro.
The event will be the first council-sponsored function of the year.
Rohliffs urged public administration students and associ ates of the International Pub lie Administration Center to attend the function.
He explained that plans for the coming year, including the council’s sponsorship of the campus appearance of two prominent speakers, will be outlined during the coffee hour.
Plans for the forthcoming School of Public Administration picnic also will be discussed.

DAILY TROJAN REVEALS NEW STAFF ADDITIONS
Four new appointments to the 1962-63 Daily Trojan staff were announced Friday by Editor Hal Drake.
The appointments included Alan Bine, assistant city editor; Ray Hoops, assistant business manager; Jerry Kuske, assistant photo editor; and Jan Yoritsune, business office manager.

BEHIND THE SCENES
LINE OF SIGHT — Five youth and labor leaders from Morocco toured the Daily Trojan Friday as part of a one-day visit to the campus. Rauf Khan, left, chairman of the ASSC Fo^gign Students Com-
mittee, led the tour. The French-speaking leaders, guests of the State Department, later were feted at a party at the new International Student House on the Row. The men traveled with an interpreter.
