Raubenheimer Says
Malan Plan Mistake'
Educational Vice-President Albert S. Raubenheimer yesterday called the segregation laws in South Africa a “fundamental mistake” and said that social progress should come through educational advances and a gradual integration of the peoples of South Africa.
Dr. Raubenheimer, who recently returned from a trip through the Union of South Africa, told a Faculty Club luncheon audience about the South African multi-racial problem.	I	1 The momentum of progress MIKIPR VA FOIIKin which has been built up in South MirStKVA hUUFNU

tional party government of Prime Minister Daniel Francois Malan. Dr. Raubenheimer said.
He explained that until 1950 there was a racial separation by custom and convention, but no laws calling for segregation.
The Malan government, however. set down a set of legal racial restrictions, Dr. Raubenheimer said. Laws were passed prohibiting intermarriage, providing for separate labor unions, and barring natives from employment ;higher than the semi-skilled class.
The Malan government set up 1 separate restricted areas for dif- j ferent groups and even created j separate registration lists for ! voting, the vice-president said.
The forced separation by the j Malan government has caused much resentment among the natives and colored groups and a strong opposition to the laws has arisen.
Dr. Raubenheimer said he opposes Malan’s program of legal segregation not only because of the resistance to the law which it is causing but primarily because the laws do not recognize the rights of human beings and are not fundamentally sound.
Dr. Raubenheimer, who was born in South Africa, explained to the faculty members the history of the complex racial problem in that country.
He first hit the common belief that the white man invaded the native's land and took it over.
“It was not a matter of the ihite man beating the native over ‘he head and taking his property rom him,” he said.
The white civilization moving northward in Afrca met the primitive, barbaric people migrating down from the North, he explained.
The combination of these groups has created a unique and complex problem which has never been worked out.
He said that in addition to the multi-racial situation there is the problem of an advanced civilization on one hand while on the other hand is a primitive people j of which only about one per cent are now college educated.
Dr. Raubenheimer emphasized the primitive and barbaric nature f the natives and said that although progress has been made, education is still a major problem.
“There are some educated people among the natives, but they are so few.” he said.
He said there was no simple solution to the African problems, but recommended gradual “integration rather than assimilation” as the eventual answer.

formed the district attorney’s office of his discovery yesterday morning.
The statue, weighing 400 pounds and valued at $5000, was stolen from the Jdtin Malloy Jr. residence Feb. 4. by five Phi Kappa Tau fraternity pledges.
Upon realizing the value erf the Italian carving, the men claimed that they returned it. Someone else then took Minerva, and when Malloy reported the theft the police held the Phi Taus responsible.
Beauvais, finding Minerva lying face down in the North Hollywood gutter, believed that she had fallen from a passing truck. He advertised the statue in the valley newspapers, but to no avaiL
One of his friends, hearing of Malloy’s loss, told Beauvais, who then returned the bust.
Malloy ,who wanted either his statue back or restitution of the five Phi Tau pledges, will not press charges. Since there is no one to sign a complaint the occurrence is now a dead issue, according to Howard Hurd, chief of the complaint division, and spokesman for District Attorney S. Ernest Roll.
Beauvais will be entertained at dinner tonight at the Phi Tau house when he will receive the $100 reward the fraternity offered following Minerva’s disappearance.
Minerva, incidentally, was found in excellent condition, except for two chips in the left side of her face.

The 60-foot shell was christened “Trojan Pioneer” in front of Founders hall. It was purchased from George Pocock, Seattle, world famous builder of racing shells.

Trojan Chest Committee Heads Named
Three more committee chairmen for the forthcoming Trojan Chest drive were announced yesterday by Bob Hildenbrand, assistant Trojan Chest chairman.
New appointees are Phil Prince, sophomore, in charge of fraternity collections; Donna Meadors, sophomore, who will head the sorority collections; and John Witt, AMS vice-president, who will handle the Mr. Trojanality contest.
Hildenbrand said that all three appointees have had previous e^» perience in school affairs and he is very pleased with them. Witt is a particularly valuable appointee because he held the same post in last year’s contest.
Phil Prince handled Homecoming dance tickets last fall under dance chairman Jack Davis. Miss Meadors has been active in Spurs and on the sophomore council.
Spokesmen for Squires and the YWCA yesterday offered support for the chest campaign.
There are three chairman positions still open. Chairmen are needed for school and council collections. Bill Rosensweig, chest chairman, said that these will probably be filled by the end of the week.
Rosensweig emphasized they still need workers and anyone interested should file a petition in the ASSC office, 215 SU.
Award Winner to Play Faculty Club Recital
Prof. John Crown, head of the piano department in the School of Music and the first American to receive the “Diploma of International Competition for Pianists,” will be presented at a faculty recital in Bovard auditorium Sunday night at 8:30.
Acclaimed as a brilliant soloist and a sensitive ensemble player, Professor Crown will play the Italian Concerto in F Major, Bach; Rondo in G Major, Op. 52, No. 2, Beethoven; and Sonata in B Flat Minor, Op. 35, Chopin.
He will close with Variations on “L’Homme Arme” by Ellis B. Kohs, assistant professor of theory and composition at SC; Four Bagatelles from Op. 5, Tcherep-nine; and Ballade in B Minor, Liszt.

appeared with the Santa Monica Civic symphony, the Compton Civic orchestra, and the Burbank symphony. He was recently invited by Montana State university and the Montana Music Teachers association to give a series of recitals in Missoula.
An interpreter of the classics as well as contemporary music, Professor Crown has made many phonograph records and has soloed for motion picture scores.
Commenting on his playing of the Ballade in B Minor, Liszt, on his tour to Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald wrote, “For sheer brilliance and command of the instrument, this was the best piece of piano playing that Sydney has heard since Artur Rubinstein’s visit.”
Torrid Talk Rages Over Touchy Racial Discrimination Issue
by Gary Kreutz and Charlie Barnett
The ASSC Senate last night approved allocation of Trojan Chest funds as recommended by Chest Chairman Bill Rosensweig after a lengthy debate.
The approved allocation for this year’s drive will be 40 per cent for Troy camp, 25 per cent for the YWCA, 20 per cent for the World Student Serv-
ice fund, and 5 per cent each for Red Cross, Community Chest, and the YMCA.
The Senators defeated a motion by Bo Jansen to create a committee to investigate .racial and religious discrimination in fraternities and sororities. Bitter argument, defeated amendments, and parliamentary wrangling preceded the final decision to make no investigation. The vote was 15-12 with two senators abstaining.
Shestack Named Editor
Other important Senate action included confirmation of Mel Shestak, former cartoonist for the El Rodeo and Wampus, as new Wampus editor. He was approved following a recommendation by Jerry Carr, chairman of the Board of Publications.
Debate on the Trojan Chest centered around an amendment proposed by Independent Students Representative Bill Van Alstyne to send the 20 per cent earmarked for the World Student Service fund to a Korean military academy.
Van Alstyne read parts of a letter to President Fagg from Gen. James A. Van Fleet, recently retired commander of the Eighth army in Korea, asking that SC send funds to aid Korean education. Van Alstyne pointed out that most of the Korean curriculum was not war training. “SC will have a better idea where its money is going if it sends it to Korea rather than to WSSF,” he said.
Amendment Opposed
Principal opposition to the amendment was furnished by Beth Bernsted, Danforth scholarship student who has been working with the WSSF. She attacked Van Alstyne’s argument that contributors know only where 50 per cent of the money donated to WSSF is allocated. She explained that, while only 50 per cent could be earmarked for any one project, the entire donation could be used to further education in one country if the Senate so desired.
Van Alstyne’s amendment was defeat^ by a vote of 15-11.
Senator-at-large Bo Jansen offered the only other resistance to Rosenweig’s recommendations on Trojan Chest by successfully arguing that the pie-throwing contest, which has been a part of the chest drive for several years, should be eliminated.
‘Beneath Dignity’
‘I think it is beneath the dignity of the school,” Jansen said, and besides, I hate to see all that food bei»g thrown apound.” Several persons voiced concurring opinions, and the amendment was adopted by a vote of 13-11.
ASSC recognition was given to the SC Civil Liberties conference by a unanimous vote. At the last Senate meeting there was considerable discussion and no action was taken. Last night the group was given recognition with a single affirmative speaker and no opposition.
Committee Named A five-senator committee was appointed “to co-ordinate campus organizations with the administration’s program of high school relations.” Committee members are Don Davis, freshman president; Bill Van Alstyne, independent men’s representative; Anne Clements, ASSC secretary; Radmilla G0G0, senator-at-large; and Larry Courtney, veterans representative.
A special election will be held within two weeks to choose a successor to Senator-at-large Tinka Wing Mann who resigned upon leaving the university.
Tony Ward, Greater University chairman, gave a short report giving details to the plan for converting the Student Union lounge into “Trojan hall.”
Ward predicted the hall will be dedicated in April. The entire project will cost “somewhere about $10,000:” he said. The proposal, as it is being worked on, is to make the hall a room for display of SC’s many athletic trophies. He said a representative from the Helms Athletic foundation is helping with th« project.
Lady of Spain' Most Enjoyable At Symphony
by Joanne Wilkin
An enjoyable, but not particularly inspiring performance, was presented by the Trojan Symphonic band under the direction of William A. Schaefer, to a nearcapacity audience last night in Bovard auditorium. .
As far as technique goes. “Royal Fireworks Music,” George Frederick Handel, and First Suite in • E-Flat, Gustav Holst, were most impressive.
Handel’s piece, an orchestration in four movements,' had a theme familiar to the majority of the audience. A feeling of majesty, power, and royal pomp predominated.
First Suite in E-Flat, an original composition for bands, showed a distinctive contrast by varying the treatment of the same musical theme in the three movements.
In the first movement, the chaconr.e, the main theme was carried by the bass section of the orchestra with contrasting melodies played by the other sections.
The original theme, serious in the chaconne, became lighter and more playful during the intermezzo and featured a contrast between the bass and percussion instruments.
The final movement, a march, alternated deeply melodic sections with mere rollicking passages.
Most popular pieces with the predominately high school audience were “Lady of Spain,” Ev-ans-Cailliet: and “Procession of the Nobles,” from Mlada, Rimski-Korsakov.
The arrangement of “Lady of Spain” is by Lucien Cailliet, former director of the university bands. At first it confused the audience, until the band broke into the familiar theme.	. ,
The band opened the concert with “His Honor March” by Henry Fillmore, well-known composer of martial music, it also played “Prince Igor Overture,” Borodin; “Russian Sailors’ Dance.” from The "Red Poppy, Gliere; ‘Toccata Marizale,” Williams; “Turnbridge Fair,” Piston; “Perpetuum Mobile,” Strauss; Finale from Symphony No. 5, Shostakovich; and U. S. Army March,” Darcy.
