World Premiere Set for Bovard Stage Tomorrow
The final dress rehearsal of “Volpone,” the opera which will have its world premiere at S?C tomorrow night, will be held tonight on the Bovard stage.
The three-act comic opera, directed by Carl Ebert, head of the opera department, was viewed last night at a working rehearsal, to which friends of the School of Music and members of the Opera guild were invited.
Complete Rehearsal
Last night’s rehearsal was complete even to the 24-member orchestra directed by Wolfgang Martin of the MGM studio music department. Martin formerly was on the opera workshop faculty and has conductcd several SC productions.
Composer George Antheil and librettist Alfred Perry will attend tonight’s final dress rehearsal.
Some seats are left for the world premiere tomorrow night in Bovard, and more are available for the other performances Saturday, and Jan. 16 and 17. Tickets are on sale in the ticket office on second floor of the Student Union building.
Paul Keast, former Broadway star, heads the cast as Volpone; Caesar Curzi is Mosca. his wily servant; and Phyllis Althof is Pe-pita, Volpone’s mistress.
Supporting Roles
In supporting roles will be Marvin Hayes, Chris Lachona, Marilyn Hall, Barbara Dunbar, Francis Barnes, Henny Ekstrom, Monas Harlan, Graee-Lynne Martin, John Noschese, Harold Enns, and Manuel Leonardo.
“Volpone’' is the third opera written by Antheil, resident composer for Columbia pictures. The librettist. Perry, is a film editor at Columbia. The two have worked together on several motion pictures.
Antheil, a native of New Jer-
MONAS HARLAN . . , supporting role
sey, had his first opera performed by the Berlin Philharmonic. He was a concert pianist in Europe, and his third opera, “Transatlantic,” was premiered in Germany. His second opera, “Helen Retires,” was done in New York after Antheil returned to this country. He considers “Volpone” his best opera.
The composer has written symphonies, choral works, song cycles, and ballets.
Perry writes in three languages —German, Italian, and English— with equal ability.
He was a dramatist in Berlin and Vienna and came to Hollywood in 1938. His libretto for “Volpone” is a modernization of a drama by the same name written by the Elizabethan satirist, Ben Johnson about a 16th century confidence man who had a lust for gold.
Martin was conducting opera in Germany in his teens, and was with the Metropolitan in New York	*
Ebert is world-renowned for his direction of opera. He is co-founder of the Glyndebourne opera in England, established the Verdi Festival in Florence, Italy, and the National Opera, of Turkey.

Not Likely
SC Economist Says Budget Reduction May Result in Smaller Bite
by Bob Krauch
Even under a Republican administration, little hope is seen for any reduction of personal income taxes during 1953. William H. Anderson, associate professor of economics, yesterday told the Faculty Club luncheon audience that a “token gesture” to reduce taxes might be made, but there is small chance for any decrease in the personal pay-as-you-go income tax for the present year.
Cut Bill
“A bill has already been introduced in Congress for a 5 to 5% per cent tax cut for 1953,” he said. -“It’s success in passing will be based on how successful the new administration is in reducing Harry Truman’s budget.”
The exact amount of this budget will not be known until tomorrow, but Professor Anderson said that estimates range from $80 to $85 billion.
“Eisenhower’s administration will first have to cut Truman’s budget by at least S10 billion in order to reach $70-billion,” he said. “This is the figure at which they hope to maintain a balanced budget.”
He explained that under the present federal tax system the U.S. raises a little more than $69 billion. This leaves a deficit of $1 billion even after they have cut to the $70-billion mark.
“The Republicans have placed considerable emphasis on a balanced budget,” he said.
Another Obstacle
“Another obstacle towards tax reduction is the expiration of the Corporation Excess Profits tax June 30,” he stated. “They will undoubtedly let this expire, resulting in a tax revenue loss of about $1% billion for the last six months of 1953.”
He also cited a provision enacted by a previous congress which will automatically reduce personal income taxes 11 per cent in December of 1953.
“This legislation, already on the books, would cut national tax revenue another $3 billion,” he said.
The only solution lies in a drastic reduction in the annual budget, Anderson explained. He pointed out the possible budget areas in which this might be affected.
No Cut
“No cut in payment of public debt interest or veterans benefits is likely” he said, “and $2 or $3 billion is the most they could cut from international aids and responsibilities, and from general government and internal services.”
Even then, Anderson felt that these cut could be made only with considerable “stepping on people’s toes.”
“The one major hope for Republicans to balance the budgt and reduce income taxes lies in the (Continued from Page One)

A man with a mission is Ale-mu Begashaw of Ethiopia, who is a graduate student in education at SC.
Alemu is one of several Ethiopians studying in the United States to learn American teaching methods and other customs so he may return and pass them on to his countrymen
“Ethiopia is in the midst of great educational improvement and development,” Alemu said. “The people are hungry for knowledge but there are not enough schools or teachers to take care of them.”
“When I return to Ethiopia early this summer,” he said. “I will begin work with the Ministry of Education in its program of members expanding education throughout the country.”
Alemu politely exploded some of the ideas most people have about Ethiopia.
“In the first place,” he said.
| ed and paid for at this time. j “the country does not have a

hot, tropical climate. It has a very mild and temperate climate and because of this ts often called ‘the Switzerland of Africa’.”
Alemu said that Ethiopia is over twice the size of California and has a population of around 15 million people. It is located in the northeast section of Africa, with one of its borders being the Red sea.
The Ethiopian government, mindful of the need of improvement and advancement in many fields ,has made eduaction its No. 1 project. The government, besides building new schools, sends a number of selected students to the United States for advanced training in different fields and professions.
Chosen One Alemu was one of the selected. After completing his college training in his own country in the teachers’ college at Addis Ababa, the capital, he was sent to the United States in 1948. He gradated from La Verne college and then enrolled at SC to do a year of graduate work.
“I have learned and observed much during my stay in the Unit-
ed States,” Alemu said, “but I am eager to return to Ethiopia and help the educational program of the government.”
“The people of Ethiopia are very friendly toward Americans,” Alemu said. “Although Amharic is the national language, English is taught starting with the fourth and fifth grades.”
First Impressions One of Alemu’s first impressions of Americans upon arriving here was that “they always seem to be in a hurry.”
“Everything fs in constant movement over here. Back home the people move slower and seem to enjoy life more,” he said.
Alemu said that he attended the Rose Bowl game, was glad SC won, and enjoyed it very much. He said that when he first came to America, friends asked him if he could play football.
“I said yes and then found out later that football over here is much different from our game of soccer football.”

The ASSO Senate wouldn’t say yes and it wouldn’t say no last night to a petition for ASSC recognition of the “SC Civil Liberties conference” after considerable criticism was leveled at the group’s name.
The senators rejected a report by the Student Organizations committee asking that the group be denied recognition and use of campus facilities.
No action was taken, however, to overrule the committee and allow the organization
ASSC recognition.
The No. 1 reason given by Dick DuPar’s committee for recommending the group be turned down was that the group’s name might bring bad publicity to the university “in view of recent investigation of an alleged Communist-front organiaztion known as the Civil Liberties union.”
Other reasons given in the committee report were that the constitution was “loose” and vague about membership requirements, constitutional phrases using the words “civil liberties” and “dynamic,” and the fact that most of the members of the group are graduate students.
Weaknesses Cited “The weakness of their constitution and the precarious scope in which they intend to operate would afford a perfect opportunity for Communist sympathizers to infiltrate and change what could be a very patriotic and earnest group into a front for Communist meetings,” DuPar said in his report.
The vote rejecting the committee report was 18-4 with 4 abstentions.
Most of the discussion which followed the report centered around whether the words “civil liberties” were all right to use in the name of an ASSC sanctioned organization.
Senator-at-large Ron Bartholomew, however, brought up another question—should students taking only 1 unit such as this organization allowed in membership be able to use university facilities in the same manner as students taking 15 units?
Speakers Sought
Richard Schoen, a member of the organization, said the group hoped to sponsor speakers on the subject of civil liberties and “bring to campus some of the outstanding thought on the subject.”
He mentioned Robert Hutchins,
Ford Foundation official; Hugh M. Tiner, president of Pepperdine college; and Bishop James C. Baker as speakers the group would like to invite.
DuPar said the membership rules of the organization were so weak that it just might have alleged Communists as speakers or members.
New Secretary
Radmilla GoGo, senator-at-large, was elected secretary of the Board of Financial Control.
She replaces Tinka Wing Mann, who-will not return to school in the spring semester.
President Casey will announce plans at the next Senate meeting for appointment or election of a senator-at-large to ^replace Mrs.
Mann.
The Senators also declined to say yes or no on whether the ASSC should join with seven other Southern Califosnia colleges in efforts to get reduced-price entertainment tickets for students.
No Go
President Wendell Casey introduced an invitation for SC to join the group during his reading of correspondence. No opposition to the plan was voiced, but neither was any concrete action taken to enable SC to affiliate with the group.
Leon Marion and Roberta Wilson, traveling secretaries for the World Student Service Fund, gave the Senators an explanation ot the history, purpose, and functions of that group.	•
The fund provides a method for students throughout the world to give assistance to less fortunate students. Most of the fund goes for student health facilities, university facilities, and scholarships tor students in South East Asia, they said.
Next Time
Terry Gordon, chairman of the health insurance investigation committee, reported that his committee was still studying health insurance plans and would have its final report at tlte next meeting.
He said that the first two plans submitted by the insurance company were not acceptable to the committee. He thinks, however, that his committee and the insurance company can cooperate in working out a health insurance plan which will give students surgical and other benefits not provided by the SC Student Health service without overlapping the health service benefits.
Passes Resolution The Senate passed a resolution to be sent California’s US Senators and U.S. Immigration officials requesting that African student Mugo Gatheru be either allowed to remain in this country or that the reasons for his deportation be made public. Gatheru, a foreign student at Lincoln university (Pa.) has been requested, without explanation why, to leave the country, according to a letter received by the ASSC from a group of his friends.
Betas to Run Norman Show
Gene Norman’s television show wall become the “Beta Theta Pi Hour” this afternoon as the result of a bet on the Rose Bowl football game.
Before the game, SC Betas bet Norman on the outcome of the game. If SC won, the Betas were to take over Norman’s show for a day; If SC lost. Beta pledges would carry “Watch ' The Gene Norman Show” placards around campus for a week.
SC won 7-0, and the Betas wall collect their bet today from 4 to 6 p.m.
Al Terry will be master of ceremonies for the show and will talk with Norman for a few minutes at the start of the program.
An orientation film about SC’s curriculum and campus will be slv>wn, followed by a talk on the fraternity system.
Larry Stone wall describe the activities of Beta Theta Pi at SC.
The highlight of the Beta’s show will be the appearance of the fraternity’s singing trio—the Loyal Hawaiians. Members of the group are Bill Hadley, Ted Tafe, and Jeb Bowen.
The show will be televised on KHJ-TV (9).
Registration Ends Saturday
Half of next semester’s students are expected to enroll during the pre-registration period which began Tuesday morning and will continue through Saturday, said Registrar Howard W. Patmore.
Pre-registration is being conducted in the basement of the Commons. Patmore is pleased with the smoothness of next semester’s registration.
Quarters Cramped
The only thing that upsets him is “the cramped quarters that we are having to contend with.” Registration is usually conducted in the gym. It would be impossible to hold it there at present because there are classes being held in the
gym.
Patmore does not expect the enrollment mark to equal that of the fall enrollment of 10,571. He thinks it will be closer to the mark of last spring, 10,280. There is always a decrease in students during the spring semester.
6000 Schedules
According to the registration office approximately 5000 students have picked up registration materials, and more than 6000 class schedules have been handed out.
Tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. all students whose last names begin with the letters T through Z will register. Any student may register tomorrow afternoon, all day Fri-day, and Saturday until 1 p.m.
Official
Notice
