Troy, Stanford Tiff on Issue At Model UN
By Ll IS EUGENIO
A clash with Stanford University over the issue of credentials marred USC’s participation at the 11th Model United Nations (MUN) sessions held recently at the University of Oregon.
The USC delegates representing Afghanistan objected before the General Assembly to e petition by Stanford University, representing Japan, for a second credential which would enable three of their alternate delegates to be sealed as Burma's representatives.
Control Attempt Heather Campbell, senior in International relations and head of the USC delegation, charged that “the Stanford University delegates tried to control the Asian block by attempting to represent two countries.”
The USC delegate questioned the petition on the grounds that Burma's real stand in the last UN. se"ion was very different from Japan's position.
Considered Pro-West “While Japan is considered to be a pro-Western nation. Burma has always taken a neutral sU-nd.” she declared.
M ss Campbell explained that since the delegates were supposed to act and vote according; 1o the actual stand of the countries they represent, "the Stanford University delegates could rot possibly represent t w o countries that hold • conflicting views.” . .
Tii» USC delegation's protest was approved by the committee on credentials and passed on to the assembly for a vote.
"However, Stanford University's pet.tion managed to squeak through by a five-vote margin,” Miss Campbell said.
Burma T'nassigned The delegates felt that Stanford University could not be j blamed for wanting the creden- I tial since Burma was left unassigned. and there was no rule -that could prevent a delegation j from filling in at the last moment, she added. **
As a result of the controversy, the MUN charter had to be re- I vised and the USC delegation readily took the initiative by proposing a resolution, stating, “that schools should not be allowed to assume credentials of unassigned countries later than 30 days before the opening of the sessions.” Tne resolution was approved.
Whimpering Campaign Miss Campbell reported that the Stanford University delegates carried on a "whispering campaign'’ against the USC delegation, claiming that ‘‘we were disgruntled at the thought of represent ing a small country, which, of course, is not true.” Miss Campbell * criticized the attitude of the Stanford delegation toward the sessions. "Inter-school rivalries shouldn't enter into the MUN," she said.
"Their delegates should realize that every student delegation should not steer too far away from the actual position of the countries they represent."
The USC delegate also noted that UCLA, representing Russia. was chided by other MUN delegates for not presenting as aggressive a stand as the Soviets usually do.
“We just don't feel like being obnoxious." was the only reason given by the Westwood delegates. Miss Campbell said.
The main item on the MUN agenda was the admission of Red China, which was voted down.
Other issues brought up for debate included the Congo problem, the Algerian question and the Ixiotian crisis
‘Castro’ Arrived A "Cuban" delegaie provided some laughter during one of the sessions by posing as Fidel Castro. with beard, olive-green uniform and side-arms.
“He was ejected out of the session floor." Miss Campbell reported.
All members of the USC delegation were assigned to special committees: Ted Sclimitt, political and securit\: Mary Yee Young, economic and financial-Juliette Cummins, social, humanitarian and cultural; Pete Burrow-. 1 ustee-hip: Emma

French Farce Brings Beauty To Bizarrerie
By BARKY ZASLOVE
Lowell Thomas and Gordon Hoban. the male leads of Jean I Girauc oux's ‘ The Enchanted,” I see the French playwright as an artist who can create a thing ot ! cheerful beauty from the eccen- ! trie.
When they open in the Stop Gap production Tuesday evening j they will have run the gamut of diversity from avant garde one-actors to extravagant musicals to 'ight farce.
The plot of the fantastic Frehch farce evolves upon a weird love triangle between a girl, a ghost and a French civil serv ice superv isor. Thomas plays the supei isor and Hoban plays the ghost.
Artist’s Detachment
“The recluse playwright Gira-udoux knew a great deal of human nature but could still maintain an artist's detachment as a creator of a thing of beauty, stressing beauty out of the com- j monplace,’’ Thomas points out.
Hoban adds the Giraudoux ! "catches hold" of certain ideo-
syncracies of human behavior and "elucts from this eccentricity that which is most charming. as a jeweler might cut gems from an imperfect stone."
They report, however, that Giraudoux makes more humane demands upon the actor than do his “avant garde compatriats,” such as Ionesco, in w hose “Bald Soprano" both Hoban and Thomas appeared.
Not Perverse
Hoban reports that Giraudoux doesn’t stress the subjective view of man as a perverse and
miserable creature as do many contemporary playwrights.
"Giraudoux sees man as a wistful being who must contend with the 'imitations of his world and make the best of it," he explains.
The world itself roughly has “throe sorts of men in it,’’ the two thespians point out—the petty, the idealistic and a breed that falls somewhere in between, a “golden mean.”
Thomas as the supervisor, represents the “golden mean.” while Hoban as the ghost represents the idealist.
Masters Character
In building the character of the supervisor. Thomas has attempted first to master the author's concept of the character. Then, he explains, he must determine how much he as the actor should incorporate of himself and his own experience “to black in the character" as a living entity on the stage.
In this way Thomas hopes to effect a type of “golden mean" of his own in the role of the su pervisor. who is not so much an abstract concept as a fallible man. a fallible, honest and somewhat poignant man.”
Hoban sees in the role of the ghost the “perpetually disillusioned idealizer of life and women. the sad and somewhat mystic person ' who has been bitterly deceived before and will be again. He is a man who is some how a ghost in life as well as in death. t
For the sensitive actor, the ghost s role olfers deep, emotive possibilities and Hcban feels capable of delivering them.
book collection competition sponsored by the School of Library Science.
Lynn Hird, a library science major, garnered first place, while Bob Courtemanche. a political science major, earned second. They received their awards for collections dealing with the spirit and character of Japan.
Third Place »inner Donald A. Reed, a history graduate student, received third place for his collection on the lives and works of Gilbert and Sullivan.
Hard based his collection on ihe concept of Yamato, named after the early inhabitants of Japan. They were the ancestors of the present Japanese people.
Spirit and Qnality In the essay which accompanied the collection. Hard stated that the strength of present Japanese culture is based upon the spirit and quality of Yamato.
The prize-winning collector first became interested in Yamato through the influence of one of his undergraduate instructors at Long Beach State College.
Interpretations of Japan Ccurtemanche titled his collection. ‘‘Perspectives on a Middle Culture.” His books reveal some of the approaches to the interpretation of Japan by visitors from several nations.
In some works, the Japanese try to explain their own culture. Courtemanche • calls Japan a “middle culture" because its personality formation took place tje-tween the cultures at ancient Greece and China and that of the U.S.
First Interest
Reed first became interested in Gilbert and Sullivan when he saw a performance of "The Mikado” by the D’Oyly Carte Co., which exclusively stages the English operettas.
His collection now includes over 100 books and long playing records on the subject. One of his prize books is the first edition of "The Savoy Opera” by Fitzgerald published in 1894.
Prizes Donated Prizes were donated by A.C. Yroman. Inc., a Pasadena book-j store, in the form of books which can be selected from their stock.
Hai-d received a certificate for -S100; Courtemanche, $50; and ! Reed. $25.
Judges of the collections were Dr. Frank Baxter, professor of English: Glen Dawson, owner of Dawson's Book Shop; Dorothy Drake, librarian at Scripps College; Ward Ritchie, of the Ward Ritchie Press: and Dr. Lewis Stieg, USC head librarian.
Stimulate Collection Dr. Martha Boaz. dean of the School of Library Science, said that the purpose of the contest was to stimulate private and individual book collecting and systematic reading.
Collections were judged on the significance and originality of the central theme, the import-' ance of the individual titles in relation to the theme and the editorial quality of the editions chosen.

Engineers Seek Problems, Dean Informs High School
An engineer is happiest when he is attacking a problem, and the bigger it is the happier he is. Dean Alfred C. Ingersoll of the School of Engineering said last night in a talk to students at Grant High School, Van Nuys.
Career of Opportunity
Engineering is a career of opportunity, Dean Ingersoll said, speaking at a career night meeting sponsored by the engineering advisement program of the Los Angeles Council of Engineering Societies.
Engineers share a common feeling about theirs being a satisfying profession, the USC dean said, because it keeps challenging them with new problems.
Something Every Day
“Every day brings something unexpected,” he said, "whether it is a problem in the design of
an inertial guidance component for a space missile or for the foundations of a great dam such as that at Glen Canyon on the Colorado river.
Several Possibilities
"The answer, which usually means the best one oi several possibilities, is not known and perhaps cannot be calculated, but a decision or a design must be made. That makes for excitement in a career.”
Engineering is the art that deals with the application of materials and forces, the USC dean said, and the use of science is a means to that end. Engineering’s ultimate purpose is service to mankind, he added.
Two Different Mews
“There are two different views about science and engineering—one is that we emphasize the difference between them
and the other that we emphasize their sameness.
“In engineering education we point out that the scientist seeks new knowledge, whether in the laboratory or in space, while the engineer puts this and all other knowledge to work as a means to the end of serving mankind. In other words, science makes it known; engineering makes it work.
Must Work Together
“In the space age, the scientist is interested in the properties of the upper atmosphere —cosmic radiation and the like. The engineer sends up the rockets and satellites and builds into them* the instruments that will make the scientific observations.
‘‘The two men work hand in hand, and that is why there is a solid core of science subjects in all engineering schools,” he concluded.
End Hell-Raising' or Lose System, Former IFC Head Challenges Row
By RIC K BUTLER
Outgoing IFC President Ron Goodgame yesterday challenged fraternity men to eliminate the ‘‘hell-raising” aspects of the traditional fraternity image or see their system destroyed.
Goodgame called for closer unity between individual houses, citing the "tremendous power" inherent in a healthy fraternity system. He said that the power could not be used until, a common purpose overcame interhouse competition.
Splits From Competition
Fraternity splits come from competition for rushees, pledges, scholarship and social status, the 1 IFC* president pointed out.
II s .remarks came at the TFC meeting held yesterday at Phi Delta Theta. He was presented with a plaque for his service by incoming president Mike Gless.
All outgoing officers summed up their terms with written re-| ports, but Goodgame was the most vocal in calling on the Row I members to clean their own
yards.
He said a few individuals cause much bad publicity by their pranks and hurt fraternity unity by damaging other houses. He still feU that the fraternities are not in danger of quick extinction.
Prophecy Denied
“In my estimation, the fraternity system at our university will remain much, much longer than our friend Joe Saltzman has prophesied,” Goodgame i stated. He said that IFC rushing has risen above levels reach-i ed last year.
However, there are some fraternities — far too many. I ,fear | —who must rush all year long j to survive,” he added.
Even for the fraternity in good strength. Goodgame called rushing one of the most trying periods in the year that a fraternity must undergp.
Great Challenge
Guest speaker for the meeting, the Rev. John E. Cantelon. university chaplain, said that fra-
ternities have a great challenge to become "communities.”
Dr. Cantelon cited the writings of theologian Paul Tillich to explain his theory' of community.
He said students in a university atmosphere may undergo a shattering experience in absorbing the knowledge presented them.
Overcome Anxieties
They need courage to overcome these anxieties, so they may better enter into the learning process. This courage is best provided by small "community” units of othçrs in the same situation, he said.
The Oxford-educated chaplain said fraternities are “the ideal groups to provide this courage and compare them to the small colleges within the British university.
Commuters Have Disadvantage
The chaplain said that commuting students are at a dis-i advantage because they have less i chance to have courage provided
by their fellow students. He added that dormitories are not performing the function either.
"Fraternities would be built-in educational units if they were run well.” he said. "The fraternity provides or should provide. deep levels of experience and courage.“'’ he added.
Number to Increase "By 1970 nearly 68 per cent of all students will commute.” predicted the Rev. Dr. Cantelon. If Iraternitv and sorority leaders pick up the challenge and develop the atmosphere they are so well suited for, then we can provide this level of real meaning here on our ow n Row.,
Phi Kappa Tau John Hirran won the run-off election for vice president over Mike Bowler. The run-offs were held to break the double ties at the last meeting.
In the run-off for member-at-large. SAE Rick Butler and Sigma Chi Jess Hill again dead-’ocked the voting at 13-13 count. They meet again in two weeks lor the third run-pff.
cal music and particularly sacred music.
The Westfalian Kantorei consist of instructors and students of the Westfalian Church Music Institute located in Herford. In addition, it is made up of guests whose w ork is in church services. No similar organization exists in the United. States.
Middle Ages
The idea of the Kantorei has its roots in the Middle Ages. The I Kanloreien, or singing groups, were organized for the purpose of singing the musical heritage of the Reformation Church and assisting the congregations in their worship services.
They were the forerunners of the church choir. Their function was liturgical, and their music was considered as the living voice of the Gospel.
The Westfalian Kantorei uses the traditional instruments of the middle ages to enhance the total impression of the musical program.
The group's members use reconstructions of ancient instruments, besides some of the ori ginal ones, to recapture the essence of the old art.
Leader of the Westfalian Kantorei, which has been heard in most European countries, is Professor Wilhelm Ehmann, a noted Bach scholar and one of Germany's leading choral conductors.
Tradition
The organization's membership, in accordance with a tradition' handed down from the Middle Ages, is limited. All the singers of the group have had vocal training and play instruments in addition to a broad general music education.
The Westfalian Kantorei's current tour, which is being sponsored by the government of the Federal Republic of West Germany. is their first visit to the United States.
Their performance at USC is being sponsored by the School of j Music in collaboration with the j Baptist Student Fellowship, the Canterbury Assoc., the Lutheran. Student Foundation, the Wesley Foundation and the Westminister Foundation.

II s .remarks came at the TFC meeting held yesterday at Phi Delta Theta. He was presented with a plaque for his service by incoming president Mike Gless. All outgoing officers summed up their terms with written re- ports, but Goodgame was the most vocal in calling on the Row I members to clean their own yards. He said a few individuals cause much bad publicity by their pranks and hurt fraternity unity by damaging other houses. He still feU that the fraternities are not in danger of quick extinction. Prophecy Denied “In my estimation, the fraternity system at our university will remain much, much longer than our friend Joe Saltzman has prophesied,” Goodgame i stated. He said that IFC rushing has risen above levels reach-i ed last year. However, there are some fraternities — far too many. I ,fear —who must rush all year long j to survive,” he added. Even for the fraternity in good strength. Goodgame called rushing one of the most trying periods in the year that a fraternity must undergp. Great Challenge Guest speaker for the meeting, the Rev. John E. Cantelon. university chaplain, said that fra- ternities have a great challenge to become "communities.” Dr. Cantelon cited the writings of theologian Paul Tillich to explain his theory' of community. He said students in a university atmosphere may undergo a shattering experience in absorbing the knowledge presented them. Overcome Anxieties They need courage to overcome these anxieties, so they may better enter into the learning process. This courage is best provided by small "community” units of othçrs in the same situation, he said. The Oxford-educated chaplain said fraternities are “the ideal groups to provide this courage and compare them to the small colleges within the British university. Commuters Have Disadvantage The chaplain said that commuting students are at a dis-i advantage because they have less i chance to have courage provided by their fellow students. He added that dormitories are not performing the function either. "Fraternities would be built-in educational units if they were run well.” he said. "The fraternity provides or should provide. deep levels of experience and courage.“'’ he added. Number to Increase "By 1970 nearly 68 per cent of all students will commute.” predicted the Rev. Dr. Cantelon. If Iraternitv and sorority leaders pick up the challenge and develop the atmosphere they are so well suited for, then we can provide this level of real meaning here on our ow n Row., Phi Kappa Tau John Hirran won the run-off election for vice president over Mike Bowler.

The Westfalian Kantorei consist of instructors and students of the Westfalian Church Music Institute located in Herford. In addition, it is made up of guests whose w ork is in church services. No similar organization exists in the United. States. Middle Ages The idea of the Kantorei has its roots in the Middle Ages. The I Kanloreien, or singing groups, were organized for the purpose of singing the musical heritage of the Reformation Church and assisting the congregations in their worship services. They were the forerunners of the church choir. Their function was liturgical, and their music was considered as the living voice of the Gospel. The Westfalian Kantorei uses the traditional instruments of the middle ages to enhance the total impression of the musical program. The group's members use reconstructions of ancient instruments, besides some of the ori ginal ones, to recapture the essence of the old art. Leader of the Westfalian Kantorei, which has been heard in most European countries, is Professor Wilhelm Ehmann, a noted Bach scholar and one of Germany's leading choral conductors. Tradition The organization's membership, in accordance with a tradition' handed down from the Middle Ages, is limited. All the singers of the group have had vocal training and play instruments in addition to a broad general music education. The Westfalian Kantorei's current tour, which is being sponsored by the government of the Federal Republic of West Germany. is their first visit to the United States. Their performance at USC is being sponsored by the School of j Music in collaboration with the j Baptist Student Fellowship, the Canterbury Assoc., the Lutheran. Student Foundation, the Wesley Foundation and the Westminister Foundation.
