Following today’s informal initiation, the undergraduate members will be joined by new faculty, alumni and honorary members for the formal initiation and breakfast scheduled for this Saturday morning.
A formal dinner-dance in honor of the new class will be held Saturday, June 8, at the Huntington-Sheraton Hotel in Pasadena.
The oldest men’s honorary at the university, Skull and Dagger also ranks as one of the oldest men’s hon-orarles in the United States During the 50 years since the organization was first founded at USC, nearly 1,500 men have been tapped for membership.
Included in the ranks of Skull and Dagger members are such names as Walt Disney, U.S. Sen. Thomas Kuchel, Greg Bautzer, Bishop James A. Pike, Leonard Firestone, Sheriff Peter Pitchess, John Wayne, Andy Devine, Robert Young, Jesse Unruh, Howard Ahmanson and Chancellor Rufus von KleinSmid.

Sets to be used in “Good Woman of Setsuan,” which will be staged nightly at 8:30 from May 6 through May 11, will be constructed of laminated plywood, he noted.
Oriental Effect
Straw matting will cover the sets to give a vaguely Oriental effect, and dyes, rather than paints, will be used to j give a “weathered” appearance, White said.
Actors in the play will shift scenery as they exit, a technique reminiscent of the practice in Japan, where crews, dressed in a black clothing which makes them barely visible, move sets while the play is in progress, he continued.
No divisions of the play into scenes will occur in “Good Woman of Setsuan,” he said. Instead, the play will be performed in 10 sequences with no curtain closing at their conclusion., White explained.

The four poems are “Love: What It is,” “Soft Musicke,” “A Charm to Bring in the Witch” and “To Musicke to Becalm His Fever.”

The second principal is that observation should be made under control conditions of experiment, and, finally, observation should take the form of measurement.
“Thus the new science is a wedding of observation and experiment through measurement,’ Dr. Jessop explained. “Physics is not merely a real science but has become the science of the real.”
Berkeley felt that the wedding of science and mathematics was not wholly a happy one, Dr. Jessop said.

Twenty - nine campus groups performing 19 song and dance routines will begin competing for spots in Songfest this afternoon at 3:30 in Bovard Auditorium.
During the first day of pre liminary auditions, 12 entries in novelty, mixed, small and men’s divisions will present their renditions before a panel of five judges.
Groups will be judged on singing ability, appearance, arrangement, preparation and general impression. In addition, the novelty division will be judged on audience appeal.
Novelty Division
Entries vying for berths in the novelty division will be Kappa Alpha; Alpha Gamma Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha; Theta Chi, Kappa Alpha Theta and Delta Tau Delta; and Sigma Chi and Pi Beta Phi.
Competitors in the mixed division are Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Tau Omega and Gamma Phi Beta and Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Auditioning in small division will be Alpha Phi and Theta Chi, Chi Phi Delta Sigma Delta and Phi Gamma Delta.
NROTC will perform in the men’s division.
Judges’ Decisions
The Songfest Committee wpll notify groups of acceptance or rejection tomorrow night, Songfest Chairman Noel Hanson said.
He said the prelims would be open to the judges and Songfest Committee members only, since the committee wants to keep the identities of the judges secret until judging is completed.

Although most philosophical writers stayed completely within their areas of study, Berkeley branched out, Dr. Jessop said. Although his main interests were the divinity and classical languages, knew and understood much about the new science of physics. Dr. Jessop related.
“His attitudes were not merely critical, but he came to the field as a ‘modernist,’ accepting its revolutionary principles,” Dr. Jessop said. “When he criticized physics (Jump to Page 4.)
