U.S. Political Scene Odd, Says Hindman
The sustaining strength of American political parties is the fact that they are not “vehicles of specific ideologies in contrast to parties in many other countries." Dr. Wilbert L. Hindman told 50 persons in the International lounge , yesterday.
Speaking at an Intercultural club ineelmg to ‘'orient foreign students Rith American elections." Dr. Hindman said the question most frequently asked by non-Americans is, “How do you tell the difference Detween parties?"
Foreign Standards •By foreign standards, positions taken, by our two major parties are rerv close together” the associate professor of political science said.
“The big reason is that our par-i are service instrumentalities, they are vehicles of public opinion, lather than tools for distinct ide-blcgies.*’ he explained.
The factor is perhaps the great [achievement of the American election system, he said. It makes it I ble for defeated party mem-prs to “accept defeat with grace,” realizing the successful party's cie6 will not be far divorced Mil those of his party.
Gives Tips In a casual, sometimes humorous manner. Dr. Hindman gave tips on how to understand American elections. He spoke of the weaknesses of the presidential primary system. In analyzing the strength of “favorite son" candidates, he explained that mgst candidates do not have the time, energy, or money to move around campaigning. and therefore enter only a few-state primaries.
"At best, the primaries indicate the weakness of we§k candidates rather than the strength of the strong ones." He cited the small response Gen. Douglas MacArthur has receiveu. and how the true Strength of Eisenhower and Taft ^mains unknown.
Convention Antics Dr. Hindman recalled some of the shenanigans that occur at con-' *; '"‘P.5, and the difficulty foreign-I	Ini u:ici?rs:and;ng them,
quo red r. European scholar who. er viewing a presidential con-
’•God looks after drunks, little * -.idren, and the United States of
*rica.”
Dr. Hindman was quick to re-
iS'urc. however, that any institu-’ t	n has survived so long as
has the p.-e dential convention f.'tem. has proved itself definitely va^d in our culture. He asked those it who will experience their first convention via TV this sum-r to “be generous about this mindly childish behavior.” and lo r^em'ocr that many of the gtrrnge procedures have “letting-©ff * t eam” value.
Hs also explained some of the voting procedures and the role of “dark horse ’ candidates.
By BOB ERBURU
The ‘‘hot” political issue of an all-Row party appeared to be only tepid yesterday as the IFC, with a minimum amount of talk from a maximum amount of representatives, voted to table temporarily a proposal to form a “Committee | o| the Whole” to endorse political candidates.
The vote was 16 to 11 in favor of the motion to table made by Sigma Phi Epsilon President Bob Mitchell.
With an overflow’ crowd in attendance at the Phi Sigma Kappa house, only six speakers debated the proposal submitted by a special committee appouited at the last meeting to investigate the possibili-les of an all-Row party.
Committee Chairman Beldon | Owens. Pi Kappa Alpha, introduced j the committee's proposal to create ' a committee of the whole, composed of one representative and one alternate from each fraternity and sorority. The committee would endorse candidates that they felt qualified for office and investigate the possibility of an all-Rowr primary .
The committee would operate independent of the IPC and Panhellenic council under the proposal.
Opposition to the proposal was voiced by ASSC President John Bradley, Phi Delta Theta, who told members that there would be little to gain for the IPC by that body geting into' politics. He said that for the IFC to initiate a political organization is not in accord with the principles of the National Interfraternity council or the national constitutions of several IFC members at SC.
Bradley Opposes Bradley pointed out that a fraternity man is usually elected ASSC president and that the only time this was not true, in the spring 1949 elections, was when an all-Row primary was held and a single candidate presented to oppose independent Bob Padgett. ,
The resultant scandal over alleged fraudulent practices which led to a referendum and another election after the fraternity candidate had been declared elected was extremely detrimental to the fraternity system, Bradley said.
Bradley said he felt that it would not be a healthy situation for the IPC to again attempt an all-Row-party. “As a political force we exist," he said. "But let's not unite as such but go to the polls as individuals, following the example of other outside fraternal organizations which include members of different political allegiance and do not engage in partisan politics as an organization."
The question was posed of the prohibition by national constitution of some fraternities belonging to such a committee. It would have to be supported 100 per cent to be successful according to Owens.
Bradley was questioned on this point since he was supported by a political organization, the Trojans for Representative Government <Free Greeks), in the last election although he had earlier said that his fraternity was prohibited by national constitution from belonging to partisan political groups. Individuals Join Bradley explained that he and other members of his fraternity, and other fraternities with similar restrictions, had joined the party as individuals. The fraternity did not belong to, or officially support, the party. He said that others had not joined and there was no compulsion to make them join any party.
Owens differed with Bradley on the proposal, stating that the IPC was the place to seek political unity. He pointed out that IFC representatives were elected by individual members in each house and therefore spoke for a majority of these members. Thus* he said the logical place to back an all-Row party proposal was in the IFC. He noted that the idea is to divorce the committee from the IPC and Panhellenic and let the committee decide political issues.
He also stated that any student could be supported by this com-i Continued on Page 4)

Pan-American Fete Planned For Saturday
“A Night in the Americas,” a program celebrating Pan-American week, will be presented by the In-tercuitural club Saturday, Apr. 19, at 8 p.m. in Bovard auditorium.
Produced by Harold Reifer and Bill Zertuche. the program will feature Spanish and American folk songs and dances. Among those on the program are Evelyn Burwell, composer of “Wonder Boy from Peru,” recently recorded by Dennis Day; Patricia Cansino, Rita Lu-pino, and Ernestine Marino, Spanish dancers; and Wiiliam de Valentine who will sing with the New York City Civic opera in the fall.
“Levis and Laces” will be the theme represented by the United States.
Rounds and square dances will be performed.
A Panamanian dance group wall present authentic native dances.
Will Geer, stage and screen actor, and his wife, Herta; Bill Oliver, and Vern Parti ow will be featured in a nAmerican folk song group. Folk singers Guy Carrawen, Prank Hamilton, Yvonne di Miranda, and Adele Motzkm wall also appear.
The affair is open free to the public.
HEAT OF A SMALL CANDLE can convert enough electrical energy to spin the light flywheel of the sun motor, shown above. The device will be shown today as part of the General Motors "Previews of Progress' science show. The nontechnical show will be on campus this afternoon in Founders hall. It is being sponsored by the YMCA.
Science Program To Show Progress
Library
Notice
University library w,il observe the following hours dur n~ Easter vacation:
Biology Team To Attend Conference
Ten faculty members will participate in the annual meeting of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental biology in New York City next week.
Dr. Harry J. Deuel Jr., dean of the Graduate School, will chair a section on nutrition, dealing especially with fats.
Dr. Richard J. Winzler, professor of biochemistry, will present a paper on "Association of Thyroxine with Plasma Proteins” with S. R. Notrica, graduate student.
Rat Experiment A paper on cholesterol metabolism will be given by Dr. Walter Marx, associate professor of biochemistry. Dr. Margaret Morehouse, assistant professor of biochemistry, will present a paper entitled “Dis-tribtion of C14 in the Rat After Oral Aduministration of a Dioleyl-stearin 1—C14.’’
Dr. P.oslyn Alfin-Slater, research associate in biochemistry, will present a paper on pholesterol biosynthesis and Dr. Arnold G. Ware, assistant professor, will give a paper on blood clotting. Dr. John Ganguly, research associate in biochemistry, will read a paper on vitamin A.
Other Members Two members of the department of pharmacology and toxicology will also be on the program. Dr. Clinton H. Thienes, • head of the department, will give a paper on "Lack of Toxicity of Paratthion Spray Residue in Orange Peel and Juice." Dr. Ernest Geiger, professor in the department, will contribute his paper on “Importance of the Time Factor in Utilization of Dietary Amino Acids.”
Dr. Harold E. Pearson, head of the department of public health in the School of Medicine, will close the meetmg by telling of the work in his department.
Dramatically presenting evidence that unlimited opportunities await young Americans. “Previews of Progress,” a non-technical science show, will be presented this afternoon at 3:15 in 133 Founders hall, sponsored by the YMCA.
The almost magical qualities of some of the featured examples demonstrate the strides science has recently taken.
Many Contrasts From the blasting force of a modern miniature pulse-jet engine, to the silent, whispering power of a light flywheel spun by power of sunlight, the free show offers many contrasts.
Frank Faraone, who will narrate the presentation of General Motors science show, will contrast a 2000 year-old jet engine, Hero's aeoliphile, with a modern jet engine built to power model airplanes. In sound alone, they are as different as night and day. One faintly hisses, while the other has a steamboat-like rorir that is ear-shattering.
Another contrast will be offered in a small bottle. Capable of being used to pound a nail into a piece of wood, the container shatters when a small piece of abrasive material is dropped into it.
Harnesses Light Progress in lighting will be dramatized by the comparison of the first incandescent lamp with a tiny
tube that is one-fifth as bright as sunlight.
Using a beam of light one-tenth the size ot a period made by typewriter, Farone will broadcast sound. Over this pin-point of light from a concentrated arc lamp an entire symphony can be produced.
Millions of Americans have enjoyed the science shows which have been presented all over the country by traveling demonstration teams. These teams have shown latest developments by researchers in many phases of scientific study with the object of dramatizing the unlimited opportunities awaiting young Americans.
Recent additions to the show are a motor powered by light rays, and a startling demonstration of the manufacture of synthetic rubber.
Sun Motor
The idea of harnessing the great pcwer available in the sun's rays has challenged scientists for cen turies. Scientists point out that enough sunshine drenches the roof of an average one-family dwelling in 30 minutes to light, heat and run the electrical appliances in that house for an entire year. As yet, no means has been found for efficient conversion of sun’s rays into a form of energy readily usable.
The sun motor demonstrated in this show is extremely inefficent but it amply demonstrates that power is available in light'.
AMS Plans Assembly To Honor Top Trojans
Preparations for the annual AMS Recognition assembly, which will honor outstanding men in campus activities, are now underway. The assembly will be held in Bovard on May 8.
Bob Mitchell, president of Associated Men Students, yesterday urged all men’s organizations to submit records of their year’s activities to the AMS office by Wednes, day to speed up nominations of men to be honored.
Nominations for various awards and for membership in certain “select” organizations are made 1jy the AMS cabinet. Each nominee must submit a full record of his
scholarship, extracurricular activities, athletics, ad service to the school.
The Order of th* Palm is awarded to the outstanding graduating senior who lias “contributed most to the university by his activities during his collegiate career.” Outstanding athletes in each sport will receive scrolls. Other sports awards are the Gimbel award for the athlete who has “displayed the best attitude of sportsmanship in intercollegiate athletics,” and the Diamond award, for the outstanding performance by a senior athlete.
Schuck Gives New Rules For Elections
State presidential primaries aren’t only election news on campus. Jim Schuck, ASSC elections commissioner, announced yesterday that petitions for ASSC offices will be available next Wednesday.
Schuck said a new system of filing for office will be used this year. Each prospective candidate will receive an election packet which wiil consist of pettiion for office, party affiliation blank, election finance report, campaign and election rules, and party rules.
These packets can be picked up at Dr. Aloia’s office, 228 Student Union.
Packet Deadline
Schuck stressed that all packets must be returned to Dr. Aloia’s office and placed in the ballot box by 2 p.m. Apr. 23.-The returned packets must contain the petition and the party «ffiliation blank properly filled out.
Schuck warned office seekers that "all the material in the packets is of great importance to each candidate and I strongly urge that they read all the material and understand the conditions for office.”	f
The nominating assembly for ASSC president, vice-president, secretary, and yell king will be held Apr. 28 at noon in Bovard auditorium. Candidates for the other offices will be nominated at an assembly the following day.
Election Dates
The dates for the primary elections are May 5, 6 and 7, and the runoff elections will be the following week, May 12. 13 and 14. These dates are subject to approval by the Senate.
One of the questions up for approval by the student body is an amendment porviding for the creation of an independent women's representative on the Senate. The ballot will contain candidates for this office and an affirmative vote on the amendment will give the voter a chance to select his candidate for the office.
“I hope there will be a lot of interest and competition for ASSC offices as it makes for an interesting election,” said Schuck. “I also hope many people will try for offices even if they have no particular party backing,” he said.
Undergrad Fees Raised $1 A Unit
Tuition for all undergraduate students will be raised $1 per unit in September, President Fred D. Fagg, Jr. announced yesterday.
Tuition in the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry will be raised $50 per semester.
School of Pharmacy tuition will be changed from $19 per unit to $330 per semester, for 17 units in the school. Students taking 18 units or more in the School of Pharmacy iwll be charged $20 per unit*
Those Unaffected Only schools unaffected by the tuition increases were the Graduate School, the Schools of Law and Religion, and Slimmer Session.
This is the second time since the outbreak of hostilities in Korea and the resultant increase in prices, SC has found it necessary to raise the tuition rates.
An over-all increase in tuition went into effect last September when undergraduate tuition was raised from 16 to $18 per unit and graduate from $16 to $20 a unit.
At that time dentistry tuition was raised from $250 to $300 a semester; and medicine from 300 to $375.
Year’s Increase These two increases mean that tuition cost in a year’s time will have increased $100 a semester for dentistry students and $125 a semester for medical tudents.
Undergraduates will have experienced a $3 per unit increase since last fall when the new raise goes into effect this September. This amounts to $93 a year for a student taking a normal load of 31 units a year.
In his announcement yesterday, President Fagg said the increase was made necesary by the “continual rise in the price of teaching materials and supplies and wages.” Still Lower At the same time it was pointed out that SC’s tuition is still below that of most large .private universities. Columbia university recently announced a raise of from $20 to $25 per unit, and New York university has announced a tuition raise from $465 to $600 per year.
University officials believe that other private universities on the West Coast will soon announce similar increases in tuition.
President Fagg said that he discussed the need for an increase in tuition with students and faculty before deciding in the increase.
Meets Student Yesterday he met with John Bradley, ASSC president, and Dr. Kenneth Reynolds, chairman of the University Senate, to discuss the raise.
“These increases in tuition are necessary if we are to keep SC in the forefront of educational achievement,” President Fagg said.

Taft Scores In Illinois
CHICAGO, Apr. 9 — (UP) — Sen. Robert A. Taft today claimed a thumping victory in yesterday's Illinois Republican primary election by handing Harold Stassen and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower defeats by 6 to 1 and 7 to 1 ratios respectively.
Although Illinois was conceded to Taft before the election, Eisenhower supporters hoped to pick up a few convention delegates here. The General was a write-in candidate. Stassen's name appeared on the Republican ballot along with Taft’s.
Sen. Estes Kefauver’s pre-convention bandwagon kept rolling too. He swept to a decisive victory over all Democratic opponents—including Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson.

Troy Distributes Scop
Scads of Scop, UCLA's “alleged" humor magazine, was sold by Wampus staff members yesterday. More will be available today from 9 to 1 in front of the Student Union.
,rWe sold more than 300 copies of the magazine within a short period yesterday,” said Wampus Editor Allen A. Arthur, “althoufh we deny taking the 1000 copies some people have accused us of.-’ Strangely enough, more copies of Scop were found in the Wampus office yesterday.
“We closed up shop on a tip that Bruins were coming to reclaim copies they think we have,” he said.
When asked his opinion on the issue of Scop, Arthu; replied he "was stiH reading Wampus.”
Another source reported that one of the main articles in. the imported Scop tells experiences of a group of Brains in the Tijuana jail.
“The magazine looks like most of it was prepared in Mexico ” and bootlegged into the country,” another Wampusite said.
Associate Wampus Editor Tom Pflimlin commented that yesterday’s sales here probably topped those at Westwood.
“People are curious here,” he said. “There, they know what Scop is.”
Copies of Scop will be sold for 25 cents. “No rubles will be accepted.” Arthur warned. He also said Wampus does not recommend purchase* of Scop.
