1912, he claimed it was an instrument of instruction. Possibly it is, but his long, merry-go-round bits of dialogue seem a bit laborious for modem audiences.
Flay Scott, as Henry Higgins, the professor of phonetics, was easily the best in the cast. Scott was the natural choice for the role. Consciously or not, he took on some characteristics of the late Leslie Howard.

As El.za Doolittle, the flower girl, Adele Cook was good. As Eliza Doolittle, the manufactured “lady” Adel wa* not quite so adept. She played the lady as though she didn’t really think she’d made the grade.
Good old Rory Guy was the gray-haired Colonel Pickering. Whenever the drama department casts a play calling for a distinguished gray-.haired gentle man, Rory gets the part. If he did a less rmooth, aristocratic job with such roles, he might get a chance to act the young man that he is.

Patriotism Said Root of War
Elections Set For May 4,5,6
ASSC elections were scheduled for May 4, 5, and 6, by the ASSC Senate Wednesday night despite sharp objections by veterans rep-representative Bob Padgett that s. longer voting period is needed.
A controversy arose when Bill McGurty submitted an Elections committee report recommending a two-day election period. Padgett suggested a five-day period, saving it would result in a larger turnout. His amendment was defeated 20-10.
Grafton Tanquary, AMS president, then requested the three-day period. It was approved 26-2. Proponents declared a longer period was unnecessary since only a negligible number voted the last few days in the last election.
Padgett said, “This will be the shortest election period since most of us have been here at SC.”
Under the new system, registration before election time is not required. Student body cards will admit voters to voting booths.

■fc Loretta Young, iast year's academy award winner, will present the prizes.
Other personalities to appear are Red Skelton, “the mean little kid’’ of radio; Howard Duff, movie star and radio's Sam Spade; Harry the Hipster Gibson and Louis Armstrong, musicians; and Pinky Lee, night club entertainer.
The Hipster is expected to repeat some oi the piano-vocal hits lie performed at the Notre Dame game rally. He will be remembered for “Stop That Dancin’ up There,” “Wolf of Vine Street,” and “Who Put the Nembutal in Mr. Murphy's Overalls.”
Twenty-five dollars will be awarded to the student who says “hello” to the “right person” on campus today.
Twin cashmere sweaters and other merchandise prizes will be donated to the fifth couple saying “hello” to a mystery couple at the dance. The winners will reign as dance king and queen, said Fred Harper, frosh president.
A plaque will be given the house or dorm which gives the most to the Trojan chest. Milk bottles, labeled with the names of the donating groups, will be placed on the dance floor to receive their offerings.
Bids are $2 and can be obtained at- booths on campus, from frosh council members, or at the Riviera Country club tonight.

don’t want this issue to be-e a political plank, as has been 'ed,” said Kureishi. “The idea litiss, org and non-org. is all well. But I want to place this plane of what is right and is wrong. I maintain that the ty of you here have never
discriminated against. You never suffered the humilia-of having a door slammed in face; you have not been re-entrance, want to ask you in all humil-and I want you to ask your-■just how much do you care?
I don’t believe there is a single one here who believes in discrimination. Then I want to ask you, why are you accepting principles of discrimination?”
Kureishi and Padgett, co-authors of the measure, emphasized that they had seen no evidence of discrimination oy the administration.
“President Truman's Commission on Higher Education, which made a nationwide survey, requested that such information on admission blanks be removed by institutions of higher learning,” said Padgett.
Declaring that he had seen no discrimination in his four years on campus, Don Evans, proxy for Pat McGriff, said the information on the blanks is used by the administration for scholarships. He cited the case of a scholarship which specifies a Spanish woman as beneficiary.
Evans said, “I am a Presbyterian and you might call me a minority I am also of Irish descent. I don\ think the Irish are any better than the Jews or Negroes, but I think they have an equal opportunity.”
James Bennett, president of the School of Pharmacy, said .hat the information is needed by the university in its allocation of housing
for students off-campus, where there are restrictions.
Joseph Capalbo, freshman class vice-president of the School of Law, presented a resolution to the Board of Bar Governors, control-ing body of the SC Bar association, which would bar honorary or professional fraternities that have racial or religious restrictions from its recognition.
The resolution was tabled but will come up for discussion at Monday's BBG meeting.
Padgett Raps Dig Sponsors
IFC .sponsorship of the homecoming dance last semester was giver, a working over at Wednesday night’s ASSC Senate meeting by veterans representative Bob Fadgett, in a verbal tussle with Ralph Townsend, homecoming chairman.
Townsend reported that the dance, costing $3700, had made a profit of approximately $2600 from sale of 2090 bids.
Padgett, militant non-org, then
asked where the money was.
Townsend said the financial report is incomplete and is in the office of Arnold Eddy, general manager of associated students.
Padgett inquired if the money is earmarked for the IFC.
Townsend’s reply that “it has been hinted around,” drew a guffaw from the overflow crowd.
“Who authorized the IFC to underwrite the dance?” asked Padgett. Townsend said no other organization could bear the heavy expense.
Padgett, warming up, then asked “How long has it been since a homecoming dance lost money? Was the IFC to stand any possible loss?”
Townsend said money had been lost on such dances “not too fai back.” Padgett commented. “None have lost any money.”
‘How many other organizations were contacted as possible sponsors?” Padgett again questioned.
When Townsend answered “none that I know of,” Johnny Davis, ASSC Senate president, proposed an investigation.
The Senate approved Davis, Padgett, and Gene Fruhling, IFC president, as members of the investigating committee.
Race Issue Gets Law OK
.Presidents of two professional law fraternities yesterday declared themselves in favor of a resolution presented last Monday to the Board of Bar Governors banning racial restrictions and discrimination in any honorary or professional fraternity.
Irving Glovin, president of Mu Beta Epsilon, said, “Personally I sm in favor of it. Our national group has taken out all restrictive clauses from cur constitution as of the last national convention.”
Robert Fisk, president of Phi Delta Phi, and Ed Jessup, Phi Alpha Delta bead* refused comment.
“Even though the resolution was passed,” stated Bill Hogc'ccon, president of the student body ’car association, “it would not constitute affirmative action. Any positive action must come through an amendment to the constitution.”
Proposed by Joseph Capalbo, freshman class vice-president of the School of Law, the resolution would give organizations until Jan. 1, 1950, to eliminate any restrictions they have at present, and until the following January to remove restrictions completely.
Gne basic cause for world conflict is to be found in the existence of nonintegrated units of equal size, Dr. Ross N. Berkes, associate professor of international relations, said in a lecture at Bowne hall last night.
During his speech, entitled “Historical Roots of World Conflict,” ^ie explained that the principal reasons for war have been found in patriotism, geopolitics, and population pressure.	•
“The deepest root is patriotism,” said Dr. Berkes. “I don’t mean nationalism, nor communism, nor socialism. The word can be addressed to a man, a family, a state, or in the modern world, an idea. I am not against patriotism, and I certainly consider myself a patriot, but the price of patriotism may be high. You establish the ‘we’ group •only in comparison to the ‘they’ group. Following this comes the easy identification of your own interests with the interests of society in general.”
On the subject of geopolitics, Dr. Berkes said that peace has always depended on balance, or rarely on over whelming predominance of power. He pointed out that the fulcrum of world power has for many years rested on the coast nations from Finland on dewn through the Mediterranean, and that any attempt to dominate these states has upset the whole existing balance of power.
After the lecture Dr. Berkes answered questions from the audience.
The talk was the first in the weekly forum series, “World Problems of Today,” sponsored by University College and the School of Philosophy.
