Nuclear War Chance Seen In Discussion
By HAL DRAKE
Assistant City Editor
A promise of nuclear disaster if world attitudes toward atomic warfare are not changed was made yesterday by a scientist and a businessman.
Dr. James C. Warf, professor of chemistry, and Peter Charlton, stock broker and chairman or the Los Angeles Committee for a SANE Nuclear Policy, lamented the world's history of war during a discussion of radiation and national policy before a USC student group.
Both men insisted that war was no Jon e • a usable national policy and warned of the danger of growing atomic knowledge among the smaller nations.
“For the first time in our history we face a new problem,’’ Charlton saiu. “And that problem is that war is no longer an spectively, to challenge the lead- adequate way to solve interna-ing Theta Chis, it was by no tional differences, means developing into an easy Charlton claimed that the bat-vvin for Ostrom’s racers.

Daily Trojan Photo by Chris Maddy
FLOPSY AND MOPSY—More closely resembling the famous comedy team of Flotsam and Jetsam, Madra Sanders and Tom Costello, who become mad scientists beginning Dec. 6, are caught clowning during a rehearsal. The zany pair will star in Stop Gap's production, "The Redemptor."
By PENNY I.ERNOI \ Daily Trojan City Editor
The social mores of contemporary scientists, next door neighbors and life's cliches with satiric coloring will be seen tonight in the campus debut of Eugene Inoesco's “The Bald Soprano’’ and the West Coast premiere of James Dey's “The Redemptor,, at 8:30 in Stop Gap Theater.
The two plays will run through Friday.
Satiric comedy and reality’s extremes are the mood setters of I both plays. As Eleanor Vade Bon Couer. who plays the neighbor in “The Redemptor,” noies. “The characters are stereotyped j ones that might live next door, only they are more extreme than they are in real life because of the satire.”
Miss Vade Bon Couer, a jun-| ior education major, feels that
Appearing :'n “The Bald So-I ano" will be Murray Rose, Anne de Rubertis, Sherry Inloes and Roy Sorrels.
Dr. Bernard Dukore, USC assistant professor of drama, will direct the two plays, while lighting for the comedies will be provided by Bill White, lecturer in drama.
Tickets for the double bill are currently on sale in the Bovard Auditorium box office for $1.50 and S2. Students with activity books will receive a 50 cent discount.

final heat of the race that the temporary lead of Theta Chi was challenged. In the closing minutes of this annual row tradition, the Sig Eps, TEPs and the members of Tau Delta Phi securely placed their footing for the sound of the gun.
The opposing teams were no match for the surprisingly swift TEPs. Bernie Weiner lunged across the tape to upset the fast Theta Chi team by the narrow margin of 0.00.1.
Final Standings
At the sound of the final gun, marking the end of the Relays, the top five teams were in the following order: TEPs. 2:32.9;
Although the primary role of a college professor is to Theta Chis, 2:33.0: Sammies,
mold and develop the student mind. Dr. Norman Fertig believes that it is just as essential that a professor also meld and develop the student character.
The assistant professor of international relations maintains that education without character is dangerous.
‘ A professor has a moral responsibility in caring for and developing character in his students—character which would principally embrace all of the daily services we pay lip service to but seldom seek as diligently as we should.”
Dr. Fertig, voted one of the eight best teachers at USC by the graduating class of 1960, declares there is no great distinction between a professor in a private university and a state university.
“At least, not in terms of responsibility to train, to stimulate, to develop the minds in the trust,” he explains.
He does feel, however, that there is a difference between a state university and a private university.
‘ The professor in a private university has considerably more freedom, and because of this higher degree of freedom he has a higher degree of responsibility, for he is answerable to himself, not to a state or to a taxpayer,” he points out.
In the classroom. Dr. Fertig “teaches by analogy”—he creates an image or a picture to illustrate principles.
“Many educators say that this is the worst possible way to teach, but I feel that through this method the student can gain powers of criticism and analysis,” he says.
He uses analogy frcm the range of his own experience —both actual and read.
“And I use humcr to break up class tension.” he adds.
Dr. Fertig. who is also director of advisement for Letters, Arts and Sciences, varies his teaching technique considerably depending upon the subject matter and class response.
“I try to give as much of myself to the class as possible. I don't hesitate to cite convictions, labelling them as such.” he explains.
“These convictions are a good starting point for the student to use and voice his criticisms and own convic-
2:33.6; Tekes, 2:34.8; and Phi Psis, 2:34.8.
The winning TEPs boasted Steve Weinstein, Mike Chorna, Erwin Goldenberg and Bernie Weiner.
The upset Theta Chis included Leonard Luzell, Don Hoezel, Don Young and Pete Ostrom.
Official starters for the race were Phi Sigs Eric Shou and Dave Williams, with timekeepers Ron Reagan and Herb Steger. Steve Snell served as announcer.
Tea Planned For Trustees
A reception and tea will be held today at 4:30 in the Faculty Center to honor the Board of Trustees, whose members donated the funds to build the center.
The Faculty Center, just east of the Town and Gown Foyer, was constructed on an architectural prize-winning design which won a citation from Progressive Architecture Magazine in its seventh annual design awards competition.
The architectural firm of A. Quincy Jones. Frederick E. Em-
mons and Associates, A.I.A., de-tions,” he adds, pointing out that he does not believe in signed the contemporary build-teaching by endoctrination. *
Although he is flattered by having large classes, he is disappointed in these large classes because * you can't have intimacy with that many students.”
“When the students are turned out of my classroom,
I would like to think that they are stamped with a little of myself and to do this, intimate contact is necessary.”
Dr. Fertig tries to see students “well beyond my office hours.” both cn formal, social and informal planes.
“I also try to keep peace with the varied interests of my students many subjects are alien to my discipline, but not alien to my teaching,” he declares.
He suggests that the development of alien interests frequently compliments his cwn discipline in “ways you would have not suspected before.”
He reads moie than a thousand pages a week and estimates that half of bus reading is cutside his discipline.
He says that he must communicate with his students and that he could not live in this profession without know-
mg.
The main dining room, seating 123 persons, opens onto gardens and patios as do the library, game room and four private guest rooms.
Trustees will be welcomed by Dr. Norman Topping and Mrs. Topping: Dr. Wendell E. Cannon, professor of education and president of the Faculty Center Association, and Mrs. Cannon; and Dr. Ronald F. Brown, head of the chemistry department and chairman of the University Senate and Mi's. Brown, president of the USC Faculty Wives club.
The Facultv Center will be
ject of nuclear and chemical warfare.
Dr. Warf joined the discussion by claiming the only defense against nuclear weapons i s peace.
“I abhor war,” he said. “In order to live, we must pressm-e c..r government into the realization that war cannot be used as an alternative to international settlement.”
One of the original workers on the Manhattan Project, Dr. Warf said scientists are not insensitive to the problem they have helped to create.
“There are people who assume there will be no war because any new war will be so horrible. This reasoning assumes war is made by rational men,
( but that is not true,” the scien-I tist claimed.
Dr. V/ a r f commented on a growing impetus to minimize national borders and said he felt the only solution to the nuclear problem was the establishment of a stronger form of world government than the United Nations.
Describing the “clean” nuclear bomb as “propaganda,” Dr. Warf insisted fallout had as ; strong an effect as the original | blast.
Charlton and Dr. Warf attacked the huge spending for arms by governments and the \ reluctance to spend any money for peace.
“Last year the world spent S175 billion on preparations for war,” Dr. Warf said. “Why can't they spend 1/10 of one per cent of that amount to find the causes of war and end this ‘balance of terror?”
“Last year, the Pentagon was granted S12 million for public relations i n a budget that turned down a half millioin dol-lr rs for a peace commission,” Charlton added.
“I would like to see my country stop being ambivalent and devolep one policy toward peace,” the SANE chairman continued.
The radiatioin policy discussion was held at the Wesley Club. University Chaplain John E. Cantelon and the Student Council cn Religion.
Troy Camp Accepts Membership Petitions
Troy Camp. USC's top charity which officially opened its “send-one-child-to-camp” fund drive yesterday, will begin accepting petitions for membership on its General Committee this week.
Application forms are available now in 301 SU.
All petitioning students must attend an orientation meeting at the Phi Sigma Kappa house this Thursday, where their duties as the organizers and directors of Troy Camp will be explained.
1.5 Members Needed About 15 new General Committee members are needed, announced Troy Camp Chairman Roy McDiarmid. If response to the membership drive greatly exceeds this number, members will be chosen through personal interviews.
As part of the membership drive, last night Committee members visited all sororities and fraternities to explain the duties and accomplishments of the committee member.
Similar talks will be given tonight between 5 and 6 to all living groups.
The General Committee works under the direction of the Executive Committee chairmen.
The 1961 Executive Committee consists of Chairman McDiarmid, Co-Chairman Julianne Bescoes, Head Men's Counsellor Robert Chettle, Head Women's Counselor Faye Henderson and Secretary Barbara Nouguier.

! While some preference will be given to the counseling applications of students who have served on the committee, committee membership does not automatically make one a counselor.
Newly chosen counselors will participate in orientation and training programs and will spend one day before summer ai Camp Buckhcrn, offical Troy Camp site.
The third distinct part of the Troy Camp is fund-raising to finance the two-week camping excursion.
Letters were sent yesterday to 100 organized groups on campus (living groups, social fraternities and sororities, professional fraternities) requesting a S30 minimum pledge to be used to send one child each to Troy Camp.
Money Expected
Pledges are expected to begin returning tomorrow. It is the Troy Camp hope that pledges will be returned as quickly as last year’s.
In 1959. S3100 was donated by 76 groups. This year's goal is $3500.
Fund-raising unofficially began at the USC-Washington game.

Miss Vade Bon Couer believes that the chief reason for Melody Jenkins’ existence in the play is to provide contrast with the drama's other two characters who are very refined. “The amusing point, however, is that, while she is crude and loud, she understands the real importance of the discovery far better than the gentle scientists do.”
