SC Slated to Take Part on New National TV Educational Program
SC is one of 22 universities Joining with the CBS Television network to present a nev/ pro-FTP-m series dramatizing higher education’s scientific and cultural contributions to individual and national welfare.
The weekly series, which will begin in September, has been entitled “The Search."
“The Search” is an educational series formulated by the network program department to “help the viewer adjust to his environment —an environment currently dominated by a cold war and The economic and psychological stressed it has created.” said Sig Mickelson. CBS-TV director of news and public affairs!
For Wisdom
<‘In trying to find some source of answers or repository of wisdom helpful to individual adjustment of these stresses, we have looked «to a great number of agencies,” said Mickelson.
“After extensive research, we decided that the country's universities were the best available source for this type of wisdom.
“It is our intention in "The Search,” to work with the universities in making their research projects and cultural activities understandable and meaningful to the general viewing public,” he said.
Producer Roy Lockwood of TBS said that his approach in developing each university's story
w’as “to attempt to give a docu-! mentary feeling of what the university was like, to present the spirit of each university, and to explore fully one particular activity of the university that it does outstandingly well.” Entertaining Each university-'produced program, designed to be entertaining and educational, will be told from the point of view of individuals effected by or participating in j the project.
President Fred D. Fagg Jr. received a letter from Lockwood last fall asking SC to participate in the series. A project has not yet been determined.
Projects scheduled for broad-cast by other schools include; University of Pennsylvania, Patients Are People,” a project of the medical department; University of Michigan, “Linguistics at the English Language Institute.' wherein foreign students from all parts of the world learn tc speak English in eight w-eeks.
“The Old Folks” University of Chicago, “The Old Folks,” a study in geriatrics currently underway in Kansas City; University of Minnesota, “Last Man’s Club,” a project of the physiological hygiene laboratory involving 300 Minneapolis males, half of whom will die of cardio-vascular disorders.
University of Iowa. “A Farm Boy Looks at Art,” the univer-
sity’s integrated fine arts program; University of Louisville, “Neighborhood University,” off-campus adult education conducted in public libraries.
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, “Aristophanes Visits Old Smoky,” a project of the department of dramatic art in which the dramatic group tours neighboring states twice yearly; Dartmouth college, “Great Issues,” a course to make students aware of global cross-currents of thought.

Noel Coward PlayHayFever' Opens Tonight
“Hay Fever,” Noel Coward’s comedy about an eccentric English family, opens tonight at 8:30 in Bovard auditorium as the drama department’s first major production of the semester. It will be presented through M^r. 24 every day but Mar. 22.
Headlining the three-act play, directed by British-born actress Benita Booth, are Leigh O’Malley and Pat Hougham.
O’Malley portrays “David Bliss,” a famous novelist and head of the Bliss household.
Miss Hourgham plays his wife, “Judith,” a retired actress.
Maid of Cotton
Bobette Bentley, California’s Maid of Cotton, appears as “Sorel Bliss,” the beautiful but ill-mannered daughter, twhile Chuck Charter plays her brother, “Simon,” the overly artistic son..
Patricia Madgwick, transf e r student from England, enacts the part of “Myra Arundel,” a houseguest and Bill Boggess plays “Richard Great ham,” a suave diplomat who takes a fancy to “Myra.”
Barbara Blauch will characterize “Jackie Coryton,” a shy young lady who is admired by “Sandy Tyrell,” a sportsman, portaryed by Louis Pollay.
Florence Wagner assumes the role of “Clara,” the cockney ma^d.
Hilarious Comedy
“Hay Fever,” thought to be one of Coward’s most hilarious comedies, is the simple story of an artistic British family, a bit on the insane side, who, unknowrn to each other, invite four house-guests to spend the weekend.
The fun begins when the house-guests realize what type of people the Blisses really are. The guests also come to know each other better, which helps things romantically.
Miss Hougham is a veteran of many SC drama productions and has played the lead roles in a great majority of them.
She is remembered for her parts in “Escape,” “Goodbye, My Fancy,” and “Life With Father.” Acting Credits
“Darknes at Noon,” was Leigh O’Malley's last dramatical venture. Among his other acting credits are “Life With Father” and “Goodbye, My Fancy.”
Miss Bentley has been active in drama in the evperimental theater, but this is her debut on the Bovard stage.
Chuck Charter, besides h i s wrork in'the drama department, has appeared in past Varsity shows and is cast as “Mick” in this year’s show.
Miss Blauch, Boggess, and Pollay are also appearing behind the Bovard spotlights for the first time, but list many performances in the experimental theater and Stop Gap to their credit.
Asked Especially
Patricia Madgwick has appeared in “Life With Father,” “Candida,” and “Escape.”
Production-wise, many people are involved in the behind-the-scenes work for the play.
Miss Booth, who portrayed “Sorel Bliss” when the play was presented in London, was asked especially to direct “Hay Fever.” She directed “Life With Father” last semester.
Raymond Larson, instructor of stagecraft, designed the sets.
Marcus Fuller is technical director and Fen Newmark assistant to Miss Booth.
Tickets are availabfe at the box office or at the second floor Student Union ticket office. Orchestra seats cost $1 while balcony seats are being sold for 50 cents.
Students with activity books will bd admitted free.
The drama department said additional information may be obtained by calling PRospect 6611.

Dean Kendall Tells Music Critic s Role
by Carolyn McCoy
One of the main functions of a music critic is to educate the public, not to judge which performances are the best; Dr. Raymond Kendall, dean of the School of Music, said yesterday.
Explaining the basis for the column he writes in the Los Angeles Mirror, Dr. Kendall told a faculty club luncheon audience that the music critic should not only tell what is going on in the music world, but what ought to and w'hat might go on.
Dr. Kendall has been music reviewer for the Mirror since 1948. In his column, which appears every Saturday, he covers all phases of the music world from books to concerts.
Amateur vs. Philharmonic
“If objectivity is maintained, music criticism becomes a matter of interpretation,” he said. “The critic then does not try to compare amateur orchestras to famous orchestras like the Philharmonic.”
Instead, he said, the music critic should devote his articles to the histories and backgrounds of the amateur groups and the good that they are doing.
“The music critic should have a number of levels, instead of one basis for his judging.” he said. “If a protegee performs, the critic should not compare him with recognized masters. He should instead elaborate on future possibilities.
Public The Critics
“The thesis of objectivity is to encourage the public to be their own critics—not in a technical sense—but to be sensitive to quality.” he said.
Dr. Kendall advocated four points which lead to good criticism.
The first, he said, is realizing that receptivity to music is related to the health of the individual.
Two, realizing that complexity is not a sign of greatness.
Three, remembering that composer’s name is not a symbol of the work.
Four, music is at good as it sounds, and never better.
Andres Segovia
Expressing the belief that music is appreciated in Los Angeles, Dr. Kendall mentioned a recent concert at the Philharmonic audi-
torium by Guitarist Andres Segovia.
“In spite of a relatively small amount of publicity, and the guitar being too small an instrument to be heard in a large auditorium, tickets were sold out,” he said.	•
“Even with the house filled, you could almost hear a pin drop as the audience sensed a great musician at work and strained forwrard in their seats to hear.” Student Talent Dr. Kendall feels that there is a great deal of student talent in universities.
Music critics should therefore hear as many concerts as possible which feature this young talent. As a general rule, he said critics from the Metropolitan press don’t attend unless it is a box office night since such a large number are given.
Management Croup Meets
The amputees’ use of artificial arms will be discusse.l at a joint meeting of the student and Los Angeles national chapters of the Society for the Advancement of Management.
The society, a professional commerce organization, meets tonight at 7:3CKin Roger Young auditorium, 936 West Washington boulevard.
Dr. Craig L. Taylor, professor of engineering at UCLA, will address the group on “Motion Study and Engineering in Rehabilitation of the Amputee.”
Dr. Taylor is currently engaged in a research project using applied life science and engineering in adapting the artificial limb to the amputee.
His project includes experimental work with amputees in the fitting of, and training with, laboratory developed devices, followed by a functional evaluation of results.
Transportation to the auditorium will be provided for interested commerce and engineering majors from 7 to 7:15 p.m. in front of Tommy Trojan.
prove more effectively than any investigation could, that apathy is definitely present as 231 persons voted in the AWS election. Worse than this, only 42 persons voted for an independent men’s representative.
Situation Bad Joan Field, co-elections commissioner for AWS said, “The situation is bad. We had expected to see 1000 women vote in this election.”
Concerning the independent men’s vote, Jim Lucostic, election commissioner, said, “There are 4000 independent men on this campus, and only 42 voted. This is one per cent of the possible vote. How can an officer represent the independeftt men when so few elect him?”
Last Chance Today Students will have their last chance today to make up for yesterday’s poor showing. The voting irea in Alumni park will be open from 10 a.m. until 3 this afternoon.
Immediately after the polls close, ballot boxes \yill be hustled up to International lounge and the counting will begin. Lucostic said that the final results should be known by 5 p.m.
Lucostic said that on each ballot there is space for a write-in vote, but names should be written in ink and will not be counted unless ballots are rubber stamped after the write-in names.
Rain Warning In case of rain, Lucostic said, the voting booths will be moved to the main entrance of the Administration .building.
The first voter to cast his ballot yesterday morning was Dimitri Ivanoff, member of the delegation to the model UN meeting to be held this year at the University of California, Berkeley, in April.
Candidates running for the senator-at-large post are Sally McGrath and Mimi Shepherd, both ji’iiors and both active in campus affairs. Miss McGrath is present chairman of the Red Cross blood drive. Miss Shepherd is a past AWS orientation chairman.
Independent Men’s Rep.
Three men are in the race for independent men’s representative. They are Murrey Bring, freshman debator; Henry Elsbach, sophomore; and Richard Vertlieb, senior. Bring is the only one of the three with political backing. He is endorsed by Unity party.
Two women, Joan Vasseur and Ann Willson, are running for AWS presidency. At present, Miss Vasseur is AWS vice-president. Miss Willson is AWS secretary.
Candidates for the vice-presi-dential spot left vacant by Miss Vasseur are Caria Lee Conti and Barbara Goode. Miss Conti is AWS activity coordinator. Miss Goode is AWS treasurer.
Chest Okays Noon Show
The Trojan Chest committee yesterday approved plans for a noon variety show with only one change—that the Squires hold the she v Apr. 8 instead of Apr. . 6 to insure more advance publicity.
' Jack Durrett, Squire president, said that the plans still are tentative, but now that the Squires have Chest approval they can set up definite arrangements.
It also was revealed at the meeting that Alpha Tau Omega is going to donate a 1926 Whippet automobile to the Trojan Chest, possibly for an auction. The committee has not made any arrangement* for the car as yet.
Has anyone found a 21i-ton jail?
This is the question posed by members of the School of Engineering. whose jail was stolen during the first part of the week.
It was to be used to hold captive members not complying with the rules set down during Engineering week The rule most frequently violated is that of not wearing a beard.
The thieves are unknown, but suspicion has now fallen on the smooth-shaven UCLA engineers for want of a better suspect.
Will Go Free?
Since Engineering week ends tomorrow with an assembly, picnic, and dance, the jail-thieves will probably go free, according to Joe Vicelja, chairman of the week’s activities.
At the assejnbly, tomorrow noon in 113 FH, the mystery queen will be introduced, and will judge the winner of the beard-growing contest. Selected on the basis of the longest and best quality beard, the winner will be presented the perpetual “Eager Beaver” trophy.
Members of the School of Engineering selected the queen—a movie celebrity yet to be announced.
Dr. Harness
George T. Harness, head of the electrical engineering de p a r t-ment. will deliver a short address at the assembly.
Following the assembly the engineers will have a picnic in Exposition park Free hotdogs and cokes will be served, and the group will play volleyball and softball.
Tomorrow night a semi-formal dance is being held at the Inglewood Country club Jack Hummel and his orchestra will provide the music
Outstanding Seniors
Twenty out standing seniors from various engineering societies will be presented with the Knights of St. Patrick award. “Of course, the award is just a joke.” Vicelja said.
The school is also sponsoring a display of oil well drilling techniques in the student lounge. The display includes a drilling rig, a drift indicator which controls drilling so the hole will he vertical, and oil field service equipment used in the exploring of a well.
Reason f&r holding Engineering week this week is because St. Patrick is the patron saint of engineering.
