Philosophy Forum Sees Creek Work
Presentation of the Greek tragedy, “The Eumenides.” by Aeschylus opened the 61st semi-annual Philosophy Forum, “Values in Conflict," yesterday.
Short scenes of the play were given by four members of the drama department under the direction of William C. White.
The action was interpreted by Dr. Paul Miller, assistant professor of philosophy.
Aeschylus’ works are considered by philosophy experts to be of special importance because of his founding of “second actor” concept.
He inaugurated the communication. in plays, between two speakers.
During Aeschylus’ lifetime, the concept of a “third per-son’’ was discovered, and he was able to use this to advantage in some of his later works.
Dr. W. H. Werkmeister, director of the forum, opened the program by explaining the purpose of the studies.
He said the plays that will be presented have “universal philosophical” meaning.’’
Dr. Werkmeister also emphasized that drama can point up value conflicts and should not be presented merely to entertain.
“In pointing up and intensifying conflicts of values, dra-
ma not only reflects but also illumines our human scene. It provides the great crucible in which values are tested. Problems with which the philosopher deals in the abstract are here presented in dynamic concreteness," the philosophy department feels.
“Drama is an experiment in value conflicts. Philosophy is an interpretation of that experiment, as it is interpretation of the whole of man’s existence. Drama and philosophy are. thus, complementary- in our understanding of values.”
Each program will be presented on a Tuesday at 4:15 p.m.
The dramatic portions of the program will be presented by. students in the drama department of the university. They will be under direetion of members of the staff of that department.
The philosophical commentaries and interpretations will be given by members of the faculty of the School of Philosophy, the English department and the French department.
The remaining schedule of events for the forum of the fall semester, I960, will include “The Simpleton of the Unexpected Isles” by George Bernard Shaw, direction by Dr. Bernard F. Dukore. and interpretation by Dr. Drew B. Pallette, Oct. 18.
Work, Salesmanship' Reap Record Pledging
With 395 new members this semester, campus fraternities have pledged one of the largest groups of its kind to assemble at USC
Bruce Stewart, graduate student in Law School and past counselor for men’s activities, pointed out that working hard and having something to sell was the reason for the successful pledging.
“The fact that there are a greater number of pledges indicates the effectiveness of the USC fraternity rushing program.
“The fraternity men successfully sold the fraternity system to a greater porportion of incoming students than in the past," he said.
Stewart believes that one of the greatest obstacles the fraternities had to overcome was the pledges' parents.
“Parents get only the bad news about the fraternities and so don't want their son to become pledged. We counteracted the bad news, I believe. by visiting the parents and explaining the fraternities to them,” he said.
Stewart explained the rushing season as lasting informally all summer, but the
pledging and rushing extends from July to Sept. 18.
“The advantage of a three-month rush is that it gives the fraternities and the men a chance to look around and get to know about each other. Also, the potential pledge gets a chance to see a number of fraternity houses,” he said.
The following is a list of fraternities with the number of pledges to each as of presstime:
Acacia, 0; Alpha Epsilon Pi, 1; Alpha Rho Chi. 9: Alpha Tau Omega, 22; Beta Theta Pi, 27: Chi Phi, 10; Delta Chi, 9: Delta Sigma Phi, 6; and Delta Tau Delta, 18.
Kappa Alpha, 18; Kappa Alpha Psi, 0; Kappa Sigma. 0; Lambda Chi Alpha. 0; Phi Delta Theta, 18; Phi Gamma Delta, 12; Phi Kappa Psi. 18: Phi Kappa Tau, 4; and Phi Sigma Kappa. 32.
Pi Kappa Alpha, 12; Psi Upsilon, 3; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 19: Sigma Alpha Mu, 25; Sigma Chi, 14: Sigma Nu, 5; Sigma Phi Delta, 3; Sigma Phi Epsilon, 18.
Tau Delta Phi, 12: Tau Epsilon Phi, 16; Tau Kappa Epsilon, 17; Theta Chi, 18; Theta Xi. 18: and Zeta Beta Tau, 11.
Federal Careers Day To Feature Interviews
More than 500 students are expected to be interviewed as prospective employees by the United States government at the second annual Federal Careers Day program today at USC.
This should be the largest group interviewed in the local area by the government, according to Frank Mason, district manager of the Social Security Administration.
“The Federal Government hopes to bring into the government service highly-qualified, career-minded people to become technicians, managers end professional leaders of tomorrow." Mason said.
^ He stressed the unique fea-
ture that the government is interested in all types of students, regardless of class or major.
Fifteen counselors experienced in federal personnel management will conduct the USC interviews about career opportunities in overseas employment, engineering, research and physical sciences, management, financing and accounting, law enforcement and medicine.
The interviews will be held from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. outside the Vocational Placement Bureau. 3460 University Ave. Free refreshments will be served and orchids will be given to the first 50 coeds interviewed.

Unlike Europeans, Americans have been inclined to think of a university in terms of peaceful, tree-shaded walks and ivy-covered buildings in a 19th century pastoral scene. However, with the nation becoming overwhelmingly urban, the university, too, is returning to the city both as an image and an actuality.
This urbanization process has long been considered a fact in Europe, Bologna and

The opening lyrics to an old time top tune, these words used to bring on the winks and hotchas from yesteryear’s swinging hipsters. The song is out of date and, for many, so are the lyrics. Yet, beneath the razzamatazz. those words still have much meaning for Americans, particularly American universities and all that surrounds them.
The trend today—indeed, the trend since the turn of the century—has been away from th farms, from the countryside and toward the city. The American university is no exception to this trend.
As Henry Steele Commager. professor of American history and American studies at Amherst College, points out in a recent Saturday Review article on American universities, “Today it is the urban university that most faithfully represents higher education in America.

the islands of Quemoy and Matsu.
The idea that these islands are not strategically defensible is untrue, the graduate student noted.
Chang maintained that Que-
which is 68.32 square miles, is the outset of Amoy. Matsu, which is 11.3 square miles, is in the outlet of the mouth of the Min river.
He further noted that by j maintaining these two islands of 1 Quemoy-Matsu, the Nationalist j government renders the Commu-1 nist naval bases of Amoy and Foochow useless because these two islands completely bar ships j from leaving or entering the base.
Chang pointed out that, if the j United States withdraws its support of these two islands, it will allow Communist fleets to cross the route of the Formosa strait. This will eventually enhance the

“There ere only about 193 prisoners who wanted to re‘um to Communist China—and this number because their families were waiting for them there.” he said.
Speaking of the “Great Debate.” he cited Kennedy as having implied that, if need be, the U. S. should draw the line of protection on the island of Formosa, not the two islands.
Chang believes that to give these two islands to the Commu-nuists would create a tremendous psychological impact on the free Chinese.
“These islands are also used as bases for psychological war to help the people on the Chinese mainland to overthrow the Communist regime.” Chang said.

On the subject of the latest UN vote on whether or not to adm t Red China to the international organization. Chang said ! “Russia failed again.”

Chang is a student from the Republic of China, coming from Formosa, the seat of the Nationalist government of China. He obtained his master s degree in international relations from the University of Washington.
Presently, he is taking some advanced courses in political science at USC. where he expects to pursue a PhD program in political science.
