Ex-Lecturer To Discuss Stage Views
The modern British theater will be the subject for “Book a Seat on the Aisle,” the English department's Reading at Noon presentation today at 12:30 in 133 FH.
Madeline Blackmore, former lecturer in general studies, will lecture on the merits of the theater in Britain. She spent the past summer in England, where she attended more than 50 plays.
“The British cater more to the audience than the American theater does,” said Mrs Blackmore. The theaters are much more comfortable, and tickets less costly.
In Britaii a person can pay 50 cents and get a good seat to see -n excellent play, Mrs. Blackmore said.

Dr. Chambers and Dr. Loosli said the specific purpose of the new site is to determine the effects of auto gases coming directly from the freeway traffic before they have had substantial exposure to sunlight.
The air will be monitored by Air Pollution Control District equipment.

sary, Sparks’ personal secretary. The group generally must analyze each audience as to its size and age group before it can determine which of its 50 songs would be best received, she said.
"They actually never put on the same show twice.” she remarked.
Tickets will be sold in front of Bovard Auditorium after 1 p.m. Admission is $2 for ground floor seats and $1.50 for the balcony.
The secretary noted that the 10 folk-singers are most likely to include in the act their current hits “Denver,” “Preacher and the Bear,” "Tulip” and “Californio.”
Part of Act “Bits and Pieces.” comedy folk songs to be performed as solos, will definitely be a part of the act, she said.
These songs “to prove that folk music has humor,” will "give each entertainer a chance to show his individual talent, Miss Necessary explained.
Students will have an opportunity to meet Sparks and the banjo- and guitar-playing group during a 15-minute intertnis sion and secure their autographs. she said. The minstrels will depart immediately after the tw’o-hour performance to catch a plane to New York, where they are to appear.

Krinsky Calls City Schools Scapegoats
The public school ha* become the "scapegoat of our anxiety." Dr. Fred Krinsky, associate professor of political science, said Friday m a speech delivered before the Western Political Science Association in San Diego.
Dr. Krinsky, in a j6-pa*e analysis at the Regent* Prayer and the case againat it in the United States Supreme Court, said he felt the controversy developed from a màd-centurÿ American anxiety that seek# a religious revival-
“The entire controversy engendered by the court’» deei-sion re-emphasizes the often-stated conclusion that the crucial background in' the area of church-state relations will be the public school,” he said.
Increasing Tension He added that the dialogue between religion and the public schools will continue against a backdrop of increasing national and international tension.
Dr. Krinsky emphasized the pressures the public school system has been subjected to since World War II, claiming a major campaign has been mounted to bring religion into the public schools. "
The increased «cnphasis- has
been brought about m pert by the “as yet vague’’ character as to the solution at such problems as ccmmunian, juvenile delinquency, emotioi^l illness. racial strife and other problems, he said.
Frequently the religioue proposals of people are not based on a firm grounded faith that requires its adherence to “Divine Law,” he said.
Magical Potion
“It is but a magical potion
which automatically solve* problems in the belief that man need only believe and think right, and God submissively does what is asked of Him,” Dr. Krinsky explained. *
