ASSC Senate Vetos 10-Point Grading Scale
Bv HAL DRAKE Assistant City Editor
A proposal for a new 10-point grading system for the university was turned down by the ASSC Senate during the second of a month-long series of special sessions last night.
The bill, which would have adapted t h e present four-point grading scale to allow for addition of minuses and pluses to grades, followed an unsuccessful attempt to override an Executive Cabinet veto of the Senate-approved Legislative Tribunal statute.
Brief h u t spirited argument over the n£ed fotj a ten-point sys-. tem. which was suggested by Biological Sciences Senator Tom Bell, was led by Social Studies Senator Bobbie Furbass. who claimed that the new system would encourage students to work harder for grades.
One Classification
■'In our materialistic society, a C-minus student will work harder in class if he know's he ckn raise his standing to a C or C-plus." she argued. "Presently, all grades of C students are lurrped into one classification."
Opposition io Miss Furbass contended that a further breakdown of the grading system would only help students who are failing out of school, and that it would o' er-pmphnsizp the attention paid to grades.
“With a new system, the same emphasis would be placed on the difference between nine-and ten-point averages as is not placed on three- and four-| points,” Senate president pro tem Hugh Helm said.
"I think USC should take the lead in revising the current system, but I don’t think this is the way to do it,’ he added.
Answering charges that the new system would place too great a 'burden on the faculty's grading task. Miss Furbass claimed that professors often take the time to distinguish a grade as a plus of minus under the present system.
Kiisines* Leaders
"I think business and industry leaders would appreciate a transcript that attempts to distinguish students graphically, ratlv-er than leaving Mich wide margins between the lowest and highest in the classification," she continued.
Earlier Senate debate focused on an attempt to override Executive Cabinet's Tuesday veto of the legislative tribunal statute.

Parent Golfers Call, Try to Ace Campaign
With golf clubs in one hand > and telephone in the other, a group of prominent business and professional men. Till fathers of USC students, will conduct a "fairway telethon” to raise money for the USC Par- : ents League today.
The Presidents Dining Room will be renamed the “Parents League Country Club” for the afternoon, and teams of two will compete with each other for low scores on golf tallies.
Hole in One
The competition, run as a 36-hole golf match, will give an “ace” or hole in one for a team getting a SI.000 donation. The score will range down to a triple bogey, or seven, for a parent's refusal to donate.
Ex-Librarian To Lecture On Campus
Dr. Luther H. Evans, former Librarian of Congress, and current member of the senior re-the I search staff at Rrookings Insti-1 tution. Washington, D. C. vvill he the third annual Phi Reta Kappa distinguished visiting scholar at USC today and tomorrow'.

The men will take the names of leading golfers in the sports w'orld, and a prize will he given to the winning duo.
The “golfers" will include actor Robert Young; Allerton H. Jeffries, head of the Jeffries Bank Note Co.: Richard Williams. vice-president of Remington Rand Corp.; Raymond Geiler. of Moss Chemical Co.; and William Cro^dy, head of Croddy Corp. in San Diego.
600 Contacts The businessmen will call 600 parents of currently enrolled USC students to raise funds toward the $50,000 goal set for 1961. George Burns, assistant director of University Planning, said that $31.000 has been collected through earlier campaigns.
“The Parents League is a necessary part of every private university,” Burns said. "Tuition covers only half of the cost of educating students, so parents have undertaken a separate fund to offset the deficit faced by the university each year.” Bums said that 90 per cent of the private universities in the U.S. have committees composed of parents. Somp of them raise in excess of S100.000 a year, he noted.

The three productions, which offer an interesting sampling of Pirandellos philosophv of man, will he “The Vise." “The Man with the Flower in His Mouth" and “Chep Chee.1'
Featured Actors
Starring in “The Vise" will be Anne de Rubertis. Gordon Ho-ban and Karen Maxwell. Jerr> Locke will direct.
Jim Brewer and Skip Fitzgerald will be featured in “The Man with the Flower in His Mouth," with directing bv Helen Benjamin.
Appearing in "Chee Chee' will be Lowell Thomas. Bruce Johnson. Carol Zinner and Larry Brown Mona Elkind wiU direct.
Each evening the plays will be introduced by Dr Doroth' McMahon. head of the department of Spanish-Italian. who will give some insight into the meaning of the plavs.
One of the primary philosophies reflected in Pirandello's plavs is his belief that therp is no such thing as objective reality; that is. everyone sees a person or object differently, much in the same vein as Plato's “Allegory of the Cave.” Example
This philosophy can be seen in ! “Chee Chee.” one of piradello's less profound works. The main character. Chee Chee. is a con-man who lives by his wits on the Riviera. His success lies in the tact that he is able to make people believe he is something that he is not and influential, wealthy young man.
“The Man with the Flower in His Mouth” presents another phase of Piradello's philosophy, that man wants to continue to live despite the discomforts of his external conditions.
Dr. McMahon notes that, in such situations. Piradello believes-that man would like to disengage himself from all relations but can never completely end all emotional involvement with lifp.
“Consequently, he sometimes seeks a vicarious involvement with fContintied on Page .1)

day by Dr. G. C. Cowgill. adjunct professor of biochemistry' and nutrition at USC.
One of the major problems that a man who is encased in a small capsule for any length of time vvill have to face is release of respiratory gases. the professor told the faculty members. The man in space will have to release carbon dioxide and obtain oxygen, he added.
Try Algae Various experiments are underway to solve this problem. Dr. Cowgill said. One of these has made use of algae, which can be grown artificallv in certain cultures.
However, certain problems will arise if the algae are used. A small, very light-weight tank will have to be designed, and a supply of water vvill be necessary. Dr. Cowgill pointed out.
The former Yale professor said that a water supptv would also have to he provided for the

The former editor of the "Journal of Scientific Nutrition" cited an experiment in this area which he said “developed the fatest rats I've ever seen in a laboratory.”
Experimentors calculated the lormula and the amount of food necessary to sustain the rats for a whole day. he said. They left the food in the cages for only one hour each day. very soon the rats learned to eat all the food within the hour.
Because the rats could use less energy to obtain their food, they soon became “the fatest rates,” Dr. Cowgill said.
He said that this experiment, translated into human terms, might mean that we should eat
rather than three .large ones. He emphasized that these five meals should not result in a larger
over-all daily intake.
Dr. Cowgill also dealt with the importance of proteins to nutrition. He said that there is “a world-wide protein shortage.” One result of this shortage is the disease, kwashiorhor. common in underdeveloped nations and countries which have primarily a \rgetarian diet, such as Buddhist nation«.
Red Boy
THe disease means “red boy.” Dr. Cowgill said. Its effects are loss ot pigment in the hair, a reddening of the skin and development of a protruding abdomen.
Dr. COwgill said that attempts to conquer the disease by the World Health Organization and other groups have been confronted with cultural and religious difficulties. In Buddhist countries, the "reverence for life" forbid« killing or eating of animals.
