Guest Churchman Favors Apartheid
French Satire Play
To Have Week Run
.
Modern society and its conventions will once again take a beating from the spirited pen of French satirist Jean Giraudoux as the drama department opens a five-night run of “The Enchanted" in Stop Gap Theatre at 8:30. f Tickets for the Frenchman’s not-too fantastic attack on reafism and modern educa-
tion are still available for $2 and $1.30, or 50 cents with a student activity book.
One of the features of the current treatment is a new departure in set design for USC productions which has been conceived by David Anderle. An-derle has developed a stylized, rather than realistic, technique in order to harmonize with the other-wordly character of the Giraudoux farce-satire.

The practice of racial discrimination in the Union of South Africa, which recently resulted in withdrawal of the Union from the British Commonwealth, was defended and explained here yesterday by a professor at South Africa’s University of Pretoria.
Dr. Ben Mara is, professor of the history of Christianity and a leader in South Africa's Dutch Reform Church, said that different racial groups in his country should be kept separate “at all costs,” but added that the program of discrimination, or “apartheid,” would break down if carried to an extreme.
Racial prejudice in his country is not comparable to the Negro problem in th# United States, he explained. Negroes in his country are as strongly loyal to their tribes or clans as to the country, whereas American Negroes are completely American.
Tribe & State Split
Apartheid has resulted from this split allegience between tribe and state, which characterizes the Negro in his country, he said.
“It is highly idealistic,” Dr. Marais said of the practice, which he explained as advocating the promotion of two separate social castes within the framework of a single society.
The apartheid system, he said, supports the native backgrounds of the Union's Negroes, instead of putting them through the rigors of detribalization. He declared that the Negro “home-
lands” must be developed to support the Negro citizens.
However, Dr. Marais said he would not push apartheid to an extreme that would force the Union’s approximately five million Negroes who currently live among the white population to return to their tribes.
Move Not Feasible
Such a move, he noted, would not be feasible from the standpoint of adjustment, either for the people or for the economic program of the society as a whole.
On a more practical level, that of segregation of schools under the Bantu Education Act, the apartheid theory' is proving workable. Dr. Marais claimed.
He stated that more African children than ever before have enrolled in school since the enforcement of the act. One and | a half million African children ; are in school now, outnumbering the white children enrolled, he said.
It is too early now to determine the quality of education derived by these children under the Bantu Act, Dr. Marais said. He added, however, that natives of the country receive education that is strongly developed along tribal lines.
Higher education is provided j by the country's eight or nine : universities, which are also now j segregated, he pointed out. The University of Pretoria, the Union’s largest university, former- i ly accommodated 1.000 non- j white students. The non-whites have since been reassigned to the Union's two universities reserved for Africans.

For this three-act plug for • the unrealistic, Anderle has j tried to capture the forest of 1 fantasy constructed in 1 words of Giraudoux.
“I tried to make my sets more than just locations,” Anderle, designer of the set for USC's I musical production of “The King i and I,” explained. “I wanted to make them function as an im-i portant visual force in harmony with the rest of the play.”
Fit The Mood
Anderle feels that the designer should always be aware of the intentions of the playwright and the actor in creating his sets, so that they will fit the mood of the play and the personalities of the characters. For this reason, he tries to avoid using shapes or colors that would detract from the action or the actors.
For Giraudoux's formal farce, j Anderle has developed a set that is purposely “cartoony and 1 stylized.”

Cinema Lecturer Describes Reasons Behind Poor Press-Castro Relations
By PENNY LERNOUX Daily I'rojan City Editor
The breach between the American press and Fidel Castro and its relationship to poor U. S.-Cuba relations was described yesterday by a USC cinema lecturer.
Malvin Wald, who did research for a feature film on Castro's
Castro's treatment of the students interested in Latin America as a special luncheon hosted by Dr. Paul Hadley, summer session dean and associate professor of international rela-j tions.
•
"The problem with the press arose when American journalists found they could not get interviews with Castro or his associates. Consequently, they had to report events fiom hearsay," he ' .‘-aid.
\.ald pointed cut that this led to the belief that the revolution was only a military one that ended with the overthrow of Ra-I tista, while, in fact, it is a con-
tinuing one involving social and economic factors as well.
Castro's treatmen t of the press, which Wald termed one of his greatest mistakes, was also responsible for the fact that Castro’s executions were given such leading play at the expense of other important issues, he sa:d.
“As far as the executions go, Castro allowed a circus atmosphere to be present because he wanted to show how just he was, that he executed in public, not behind barracks as Batista had done.”
Ti e cinema lecturer pointed out that part of the newspaper problem arose from the different interpretations given by Cubans and Americans to a ‘free press.”
"For instance, when Time Magazine attacked Castro as a Communist. Fidel and his followers immediately assumed that the U. S. government was sponsoring the magazine and subscribed to the same attitude.
I »‘They made this assumption i because in Cuba it is a natural I custom for the government to 'buy out’ journalists and dictate ^ policy to newspapers.
"In Cuba, where a free press | has been nonexistent for years, J journalism is an adjunct of the government. The reason for this ! is that Cubans either don't care | or can't do anything about a controlled press,” he noted.
Wald, who quoted from volu-i minous notes on Cuba at the j luncheon, also spoke about the early years of the revolution.
| According to the lecturer, most of the people he talked with were impressed by Castro’s personality as a leader and by his enthusiasm for the revolution.
He added that Castro consid-i ers himself a man of destiny and the eventual “liberator” of all 1 Latin America.
Castro’s powers of persuasion | for the revolution and his leadership of it were illustrated by Wald, who told his audience of i several cases in which prosper-
ous businessmen gave up their entire way of life for Castro’s cause.
"They to'd me that Casiro had the dynamic qualities of Christ and that this was largely why they had joined the revolution,” he said.
Wald pointed out that the revolution's strength came from such men who believed in self-sacrifice and who did not wish to be financed by any interest group.
"Castro and his followers would not be ‘bought out.' Because of this and the fact that they did net want to have anything to do with the old breed of corrupt politician, they felt that their revolution was different.”
Wald added that a large percentage of American business interests in Cuba thought this philosophy w as just political capital which Castro would talk about hut never put into practice. “Of course, they found j they were mistaken."
IR School Adds Arabic To Schedule
Courses in the Arabic language will be offered for the first time next fall by the USC School of International Relations.
The scheduled instructor, Mo-unah Abdallah Khouri, is a Lebanese who has been in the United States since 1953. He is now completing work for his Ph.D. degree in the field of Arabic literature at Harvard University.
Khouri d i d undergraduate work at the American University of Beirut in Lebanon. In the United States, he has taught Arabic literature at Harvard, Columbia University. Georgetown University and the University of California at Berkeley.
Arabic Essential
Dr. Willard Beling, head of the Middle East-North African program of which the Arabic courses will be a part, said, “A student cannot get along without knowing Arabic if he wants to do research as a graduate student in this area." '
Arabic is the most widely-spoken ianguage in the Middle East and North Africa, he pointed out. This language plus English and French will sufficiently prepare a student to study the Middle East area, he said.
Dr. Beling hopes to eventually add courses in Turkish and Persian to the program.
Fellowships Available In Social Work Field
The Graduate School of Social Work has announced that a limited number of fellowships covering full tuition and $200 a month are available for students interested in the study of child correction.
To be eligible, an applicant must be admitted to the School of Social Work, show professional promise and be a citizen of the United States or have filed a declaration of intent to be-> come a citizen.
Police Blame Campus Lots
I A warning that student onstreet parking violations have ; been steadily increasing w as is-j sued to Trojan drivers recently 1 by the Los Angeles Police Department.
Blaming the campus parking situation for the problem, the department said students are receiving traffic citations because their cars are being moved from campus parking lots to parking spaces in the street.
As a possible remedy, the department suggests that students or faculty members be assigned to watch the lots and guard against the careless moving of cars. Or better still, the police suggest a guard be stationed in the parking lots at all times. This would also tend to discourage juveniles who have been tempted to joyride in the unat-) tended vehicles, police say.
