five centuries. Significantly, it is more fragmented and fractured today than at any time in its history,” Dr. Long said Friday.
He drew an analogy between individuals and cultures, saying that both exhibit tensions arising from attempts to preserve self-unity in the face of disturbing, inner drives for growth and freedom. Both may encounter failure as well as success.
Dr. Long suggested that modern Westem civilization embodies qualities which we identify in individuals as signs of neurosis or insanity. He said this is evidenced in all phases of our culture, including philosophy, religion, politics, and education.
Pessimism pervaded Dr. Long s hopes for any leadership in the modern world capable of restoring the unity achieved by the church in the middle ages.
Neither theologians nor philosophers seem to have the capacity for the task, he said.
“Critical Issues in Philosophy" is the overall title of the current forum series.

Critic Says Concert Clicks
by Jerry Bres
The finale to the Second Annual Festival of Contemporary Arts will long be remembered by the large and appreciative audience that heard the concert Friday evening.
Messers Ingolf Dahl and Glenn Swan gave authoritative readings of compositions representative of the contemporary musical idiom.
Of special interest were the Serenade for “Tenor Solo, Hom and Strings.'' Op. 31, Benjamin Britten, with Robert Vaughn, tenor, and George Hyde. French horn soloist; and “Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion,” Bela Bartok, with Lillian Steuber and John Crown, pianists.
The two compositions are the composers’ solutions to two very dif-

succeeds in combining the emotion al value of words and orchestral tone color into one sweeping impact. Bartok s sonata is an essay on percussion instruments and presents them in an entirely new role.
Aaron Copland's “Appalachian Spring" from "Ballet for Martha” and Douglas Moore's “Village Music” added a note of rural America } to the concert.
These compositions were given a smooth and distinct performance except for a rather timid treatment of the slow introduction in the j Copland work.
Student Lobby On Pharmacy Speeds Action
Professionals Prepare Bill After Morris ‘Turns Thumbs Down’
The pharmacy student lobbying moved into high gear late last week when a bill incorporating its ideas was prepared by a statewide group of professional pharmacists.
This was done after Rep. G. Delbert Morris turned thumbs down on all student suggestions pertaining to the forthcoming pharmacy legislation in the state capital.
“Representative Morris showed total indifference to the opinions and ideas of the student committee acting for all of the pharmacy students in California,” reported James Bennett, who recently returned from committee conferences in Sacramento.
GREATER EMPHASIS Morris’ attitude has added greater emphasis to the fight that is brewing between the lobbyists and the supporters of the Morris bUl.
“The studen t-supported bill stands ip direct opposition to the Morris bill inasmuch as we are cognizant of the need to raise the standards and qualifications of the profession instead of lowering them,” said Bennett.
“The nature of the opposition bill justifies our stand in the fight,” he added.
“If the opposition bill is passed, anyone with two years of schooling and a pharmacy license from any other state can take the state board examination and practice here. It fails to specify the type of school cr whether graduation after the two years is a prerequisite.”
“Protection of the students from an out-of-state infiltration of pharmacists will be put in jeopardy if passage is accomplished.”
B.S. FOR PRACTICE The students are fighting for a regulation which would require four years of schooling in a recognized university and a B.S. degree in pharmacy before the state board examination could be taken.
Plans of the lobbyists are shaping up in preparation for the coming struggle.

The lecture will set forth the case of joint international disarmament and inspection as methods for perpetuating peace. Dr. Pettengill Laid F- 'drv that as nations’ armaments become more important to them, the civil control of their governments gradually is supplanted
He added that the increase of tension resulting from the acceleration of an armaments race inevitably leads to war.
Trojan Chest Given Sendoff
The Trojan Chest, SC's annual combined chanties campaign which has a $10,000 goal for its Apr. 4-8
drive, was given a pushoff Friday when the Inter-Fraternity Mothers’ club became the first contributor with a $100 check.
The members of the club, representing the Fraternity Mothers’ clubs on campus, have promised additional contributions from their organizations, Howard Kotler, Trojan Chest cochairman, said yesterday.
The Trojan Chest slogan contest begins today in an effort to arouse student interest in the forthcoming charity drive. Slogans should suggest the spirit and purpose of the drive in 10 words or less. Boxes for the suggested slogans are near the candy counter in the Student Union, the Knight office (SU 232), and the Delta Chi house. Deadline is Mar. 30.
The winner of the contest will be given a bid to the all-U dance Apr. 1 at the Palladium, featuring Benny Goodman. The winner will be presented with a cup and corsage for his date at the dance. The Trojan Squires, sponsors of the dance, have promised half of their proceeds to the Trojan Chest.

The consequence of being in the wrong class will be an “F” regardless of actual class status.
The registrar's office in Owens hall will attempt to straighten •ct faulty registration this week.
Swing-Top Trash Cans Due ★ ★ ★ ★ Cleanup War Coes Modern
by Phil Adamsak
The administration’s trash machine started rolling Friday with the announcement that a dozen brand-new, functionally designed swing-top trash cans soon will be spaced around the campus.
The receptacles, scientifically calculated to accept refuse with a minimum of persuasion, will be put in plain sight.
Latest type bearings are used m the swinging gates on top ot the cans, making the insertion of trasn virtually effortless. In addition, the receiver slot is at a height which is most comfortable for the average Trojan.
Further innovations planned bv the university are radical m the field of trash collection.
Canvas sacks, similar to mail
bags, are being used to store refuse before pickup. These replace open boxes, which janitors formerly had tc lug around with them as they made their rounds of classroom wastebaskets. Dump trucks, now used for hauling the stuff away, will be transferred to other tasks, and open pickups used to cart it.
Professional window cleaners will be hired soon, on the theory that they will clean windows cleaner and faster. This project will be in the experimental stage for a few months, until tne number of professionals needed is determined exactly.

R-Card Expose Stirs Opinions
Students .polled Friday on whether or not the penalty inflicted on those caught faking limited section cards was fair, expressed opinions that it had been a light but probably fair penalty.
Suggested punishment went all the way from expulsion of the guilty parties to just a reprimand. Most of the students believed that investigation of the records should not stop until all cards have been checked.
Archie F. Maltbie, pharmacy student, said the penalty was light because the faking of cards was a crime against all students.
“I believe that it is a fair penalty if the administration does not refund tuition fees,” said LAS student Robert Vulcan.
Bob Stapleton, LAS, said the penalty was unfair because students already had attended six weeks of classes.
Most of the students said that the penalty would be unfair if the rest of the records were not examined and other guilty students punished also.
Macbeth' Expects Another Bad Time
Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” will get a working over tomorrow night at 8:30 in Hancock auditorium, when students of the speech department present a program of three sketches based on the play.

IFC Live In Rule Broken By Card Caper Unit Loss
by Harvey Diederich
Four Delta Tau Delta members are likely to be made
homeless because of their complicity in the fraudulent registration affair.
Under Interfraternity council rules, fraternity members must carry at least 12 units to be allowed to live on the Row.
The four men fell below the 12-unit minimum when they,were farced to drop one three-unit class for which they had registered falsely.
Don Evans, vice-president of the Interfratemity council, said Friday that enforcement of the rule is a matter of individual house policy, by military control.
“If, howei-er, the IFC feels that the rule is not being enforced, the council may tajce action.”
WOMEN LOSE UNITS
Four sorority women, also implicated in the case, dropped courses and also fell below 12 units. Disposition of their cases will be left to Eunice Messent, assistant dean of women, and to their individual houses.
Panhellenic, sorority counterpart of the IFC, does not have the authority to override individual house action.
Fraudulent registration was discovered when one man presented limited class cards marked with a counterfeit stamp to a tally clerk during late registration.
The initial discovery touched off an investigation which eventually involved 27 persons in the case.
After hearing representatives of the registrar's office and friends of the fraternity Thursday, the Faculty committee made 25 of the offenders drop one three-unit course as punishment.
COMMITTEE TO DECIDE
Meanwhile, punishment, if any, for the fraternity itself, is in the hands of the Faculty committee. The group is to meet tomorrow afternoon, and the situation will be discussed.
“Since it was an infraction ot an administrative nature, I do not believe it will be referred to the IFC,” Dr. Albert Zech said Friday. “It might be called in, however, if it is felt that the situation reflects on the entire fraternity setup.”
Noted Violinist To Give Recital
by Jim Deitch
Drawing from his extensive background with contemporary European masters, Anton Maaskoff, associate professor of music, will perform a violin solo recital in Hancock auditorium at 8:30 tonight.
The recital program will include Sonata No. 5 in A Major, Handel; “Scottish Fantasy,” Bruch; and Concerto No. 3 in G Major, Mozart.
A list of Professor MaaskofFs friends and associates would serve as the “honor roil” of the great contemporary musical artist. As a youthful prodigy he toured Europe with the French impressionist Claude Debussy. Another friend of his was Edward Grieg.
During his European concert tour Professor Maaskoff presented a repertory of 1C9 compositions. In a later trip to South Africa he played 42 arrangements in 7 weeks. In 1938 he came to Los Angeles “to settle down and lead a quiet life.”
He has since appeared with the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra under Albert Coates, and is now a member of the SC school of music faculty.
