rejudice Present, ay SC Churchmen
by Don Desfor
Discrimination temperature registered from cool to ling in statements given by three religious representatives esterday over race and religious prejudice at SC. The hot-?st was a charge by Rev. Alfred Dale Jr., minister to stu-ents who said, “Students are possibly practicing what the passively

dministra tion oassivety con-~nes.”
Elaborating on the minister’s tatement, Wayne McClaskey, independent student repre--ntative and now a second year w student, said Negro students the School of Education are mitted on job availability for egroes and not on ability. “Negroes seemingly never get bs as food handlers here,” he al-said.
An attitude of less concern was splayed by Kabbi Albert Yanow, wish leader, who said liiat the ituation exists on all campuses hat he has ever been associated ith.
He said it isn't vicious here and ften evolves from just misunder-tanding.
Fraternities Help University Chaplain Clinton A. eyman, felt that all national fra-ernities are trying to solve the roblem.
“The American fraternity sys-?»m came into existence when rejudices was a string American ustom.” he said.
All three men concurred that ust the existence of Jewish, non-ewish. inter-raciai. and conserva-ive fraternities was evidence of he existence of discrimination. They also all made similar sep-rate statements that the university as a whole 1s just reflecting he attiude of he communiy.
Favors Rutgers Plan As a solution. Rev. Dale en-orses the Rutgers university ule which states that all frater-■s must drop all discrimina-mrasures from their charters 1960 or be divorced from the ‘■bool.
committee not only to investi-student activities for dis-natory evidence, but admin-ve as well, was suggested by Mr. Dale.
)i Yanow said he didn’t have solution but a possible answer iight be for students to get more ctive in their religious groups hich would teach them the ideals f the brotherhood of man.
He also suggested. “A campus committee, like the senate, which vould work on this problem ■night do a great deal. Another ;ommitte set up by the adminis-ration might also help.”
Present to Public Chaplain Neyman thought it as a good idea to publicly pre-nt the problem of discrininatlon ice in a while as a check on rselves. He believes the solu->n is beginning but that we n’t expect a complete adjust-ent immediately.
The Rev. Mr. Dale earlier had ailed the attitude “that the prob-em is working itself out but it akes time, as the ‘5000 year Dlan.’ ”
The time cure element was ex-iressed by Rabbi Yanow when concluded that even with ducation and boards of investiga-ion. discrimination won’t be v e r come overnight.
The consensus is that there is iscrimination. The diflerence of ninion now is what is to be done bout it.

Discrimination Duel Set
The righteousness of racial dis-*mina tion by fraternities—a controversial issue on campus and throughout the nation—will be discussed tomorrow noon in the International lounge.
Bill Van Alstyne, Independent ~n’s representative, and George nzales. AMS president, will deend their viewpoints in a 40-min-te debate.
The AMS president is planning o base his argument on his claim 1 hat discrimination is present in j 11 phases of life and throughout entire nation.
“If discrimination exists in fra-rnities it also exists in every ^an evaluation between people in every7 business contact where e transaction is made in favor another because of friendship, milar religion, or culture. If scrimination exists in fratemit-legislation against such action ied out by opposition will not use a ground swell of enthusi-with the fraternity system, t it maf create a tidal wave of tion," Gonzales said.
Van Alstyne answered his riv- positive action can be taken to el
al’s charges by saying that the problem is of vital concern to the SC student body and that very

“My opponent’s principle argy-ment seems to be that discrimination is a vile social factor present everywhere through life therefore, there is no reason to take any action against it here. This same argument,” said Van Altvne, “can be used to maintain that since cancer is a vile disease everywhere in life there is no reason to take action against cancer in the United States.”

Pierre Patelin' Translator Says Play s Thing
“The play’s the thing’’ is the philosophy employed by Donald Heiney SC general studies lecturer, in his translation of “Pierre Patelin,” a medieval French farce presented by the SC chapter of National Collegiate Players Mar. 3-7 in the Stop Gap theater.
“In previous translations too much emphasis has been put on a literal interpretation, and not enough on the comic phrases and timing essential in its performance,” said Director James H. Butler.
Shyloek, Himself
The story concerns Master Pierre Patelin, a shyster lawyer who buys a piece of cloth from a draper on credit, and then pretends to be sick when the man comes to collect the bill. The master’s clever plans finally backfire, however, when he tries to gyp the same man twice.
The play does not depend on stereotyped comic situations for its laughs, but rather uses a crude humor in its lines and a split-second timing to keep the audience’s attention.
The cast of the hour-long feature play includes Interfraternity Coordinator- Ken Shanks as Pierre Patelin, Pat Hougham as his wife, Morton Miller as the draper, Louis Pollay as a shepherd, and William White as the judge who finally curbs Patelin.
Complimentary Play
“In the Suds,” companion feature, lasts 20 minutes and will precede the main part of the show. This story of a henpecked man who turns the tables on his nagging wife and mother-in-law will be performed by Mary Rev-eles, Barbara Blauch, and Giles Robinson.
Tickets are available for 75 cents. They may be reserved by calling Richmond 2311, ext. 402, or can be picked up at the drama office, 3709 Hoover street.

Department Head Hears Own Music Performed

The concert was the last broadcast of the WNYC American Music Festival.
Such a contract cannot become effective, however, until approved by the state supreme court.
Asa V. Call, president of the SC board of trustees, told the supervisors that the university was not asking for a subsidy but for a straightforward business contract wherein the university would receive a fair rate of compensation for the services the medical school is presently providing gratuitously to the county hospital.
Tribute to School
When questioned as to how he felt about the board’s decision, Call stated that he thought the recognition by the board of supervisors of the value of services provided by SC and its willingness to compensate us for that which, is fairly ours is a tribute to the medical school and the board itself. It is a fine recognition of the work we have been doing.
The services of the School of Medicine to the county hospital are worth more than $1,000,000 a year, the supervisors were told by Arthur Will, county administrative officer.
Many Work He figured 60,000 man-hours of professional medical services a year at $5 per hour, or $300,000 per year.
SC also spends $44,000 a year on personnel whose time is devoted entirely to the county hospital. Will said. About 100,000 student hours are spent in patient care; at 75 cents per hour this would be worth $75,000, although this is not included as an item in estimating the consideration in the contract.
About $100,000 worth of equipment belonging to SC has been made available by the university to the county hospital for use there, and $600,000 a year in research presently is carried on by the medical school.
Under the contract, SC would annually provide $35,000 of Equipment to the hospital, and conduct $100,000 worth of research in the hospital.
Ford Disapproves Lone dissenter to the approval of the contract was Board Chairman Anson Ford.
“I opposed the contract because I feel that it is unwise to establish a policy of subsidizing a private enterprise with public funds. We are starting something that may mean the expenditure of millions of tax dollars a year.”
The 700 doctors on the teaching staff of the medical school presently treat indigent patients in the hospital and instruct and train interns, resident physicians, graduate nurses, student nurses, laboratory technicians. X-ray technicians, dietitians, medical social workers, physiotherapists and occupational therapists.
Junior and senior students in the medical school work in the hospital under the supervision of the director.
Less Tuition Dean Burrell O. Raulston told the board it costs $2. million a year to operate the medical school. He said SCs tuition fees of $850 per year are about the average throughout the nation. He pointed out, however, that even a state tax-supported school (Univers'ity of Colorado) charges as much as $2650 per year for out-of-state students.
Dr. Stafford Warren, dean of the UCLA medical school, supported the plan for the county to compensate SC for its hospital services. Upon questioning, he said UCLA could not take over SCs work at the hospital.
He stated, however, that if UCLA were forced to render such services to the county hospital, UCLA would require a larger amount of compensation than that provided in the county’s proposed contract with SC.
