What is the value of a degree in international relations, and how can you best prepare yourself for a professional career in this field?
Questions such as these will be answered at a series of meetings planned for IR students by members of the faculty of the School of International Relations.
The first meeting, scheduled for this evening at 7:30 in the student lounge, will present Dr. Ross N. Berkes, head of the School of International Relations. Dr. Berkes will discuss the training program in international relations, and will explain what the faculty is trying to do for the students.
One point that consistently plagues the student is the lack of 1 perspective in his course work, according to Dr. Berkes. He will outline briefly the prospectus open to future graduates.
He will point out the advantages and additional value of a master's degree over a bachelor’s degree to those contemplating graduate study, not only in the field of international relations, but economics, law, and political science. His lecture will include a discussion of contemplated changes in the curricula and the proposed revamping of requirements ' j for a degree in IR.
Students who have not yet begun ; their course of study in IR will find I these discussions will help them to 1 plan their curricula so as to get the most out of their major. Dr. i I Berkes will outline the opportuni- |

These meetings are of interest only to those who wish to get the most out of their college work in IR. those who are contemplating such a major, or those who wish to find out what is being planned.
The second series of meetings will present Paul E. Hadley, assistant professor in international relations, and Norman R. Pertig. lecturer in this field.
T rovets Lose on
All-U Hop
Financial failure of the all-U St. Patrick's day dance Friday may result in a loss of approximately $200 to Trovets and the Living War Memorial fund.
Ellen Potter, ASSC vice-president, said yesterday that the Trovet-un-derwritten dance apparently fell half-way short of breaking even.
“We have only counted 180 bids sold,” Miss Potter said,” whereas 400 were expected to be bought. I imagine that the Trovets will ’ stand half of the estimated $400 loss.”
The social committee planned the dance on a $800 budget. After tax i was taken out, the tickets sold I brought in $360. Under the contract ' between the ASSC and the underwriters the loss or profit is split in half.
Commenting on rumors of an organized boycott of the dance, she said that from her observation the affair was predominantly attefnded by non-orgs.
Al Asa-Dorian, Trovet president, said that there was a noticeable absence of members from campus organizations.

SC Professors Doubt Value of Loyalty Oath
ryouts
Three professors from the School of Education yesterday agreed that Communism in schools is bad. but they were skeptical of the value of the loyalty oath.
Drs. Frank C. Wegener, Wendell E. Cannon, and James D. Finn came to these conclusions in an Educational council forum held in 305 Administration.
Cannon said he would sign such an oath as required of the faculty of the University of California.
“Asking teachers to sign an oath is a concession to the importance of the job of teaching,” he said.
“We are living in a world divided between two philosophies. A person who is a Communist cannot practice political freedom. He can only teach in alignment with that philosophy,” he said.
However, the only value Dr. Cannon could see in the oath, was as an assurance to the people of the state that there are no communists teaching in the school.
Dr. Finn questioned the wisdom of requiring the signing of a loyalty oath.
"We must consider the consequences of the enforced signing of such an oath. An oath is no guarantee of truth. It does not prohibit anyone, and it plays into the hands of the Communists,” he said.
"It acts as a criticism of our economic and social life, and is a restriction on educational freedom, which is one of the things practiced by the opponents of democracy and freedom.
“Tlie oath has set us back in our
total war against Communism,” he said.
Dr. Wegener said teachers have positions of trust and should avoid extremes.
“The other extreme to Communism is seeing Communists under every bed. I doubt if 1 per cent of the people in the United States are Communist in theory and spirit, but they should be known.”
"I sympathize with the people who would hunt out those who would infect the minds of our students with Communist ideologies. I sympathize with efforts to find out who the Communists are, but I don't believe the oath is the way to do it.”
A call for questions from the audience brought a lively response.
Bob Padgett, ASSC president, asked if the oath would not give a feeling of false security.
Dr. Cannon answered that, “it might not be worse than the insecurity generated by the public belief that the University of California teachers are Communists because they refuse to sign the oath, or the insecurity caused by the Russians.”
Members of the forum seemed to agree that there should be no infringement on the freedom of thought, and that freedom of communication is essential to this freedom.

Salmond. assistant registrar.
Over 14.790 students, including 9144 veterans, enrolled in day classes this semester. This figure does not include about 25 in the School of Aeronautics, Salmond said.
Although 1178 graduated last, semester about 1400 new students enrolled for spring classes, R. E. Barton. assistant director of admissions, said yesterday. Total enrollment dropped 1047 from last semester, however.
The greatest increases in enrollment were in the School of Education, with 445, and the Graduate School, with 211. The School of Philosophy gathered eight new students, a 42 per cent increase.
The Schools of Architecture, Dentistry, Library Science, Public Administration, and Religion also showed increases.
Loss of 676 students in the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences amounted to 16 per cent of enrollment, but the 57 student decrease in the School of International Relations was a 35 per cent drop.
ASSC Survey On Revamping Senate Ready
The ASSC “Little Hoover commission” has completed its list of recommendations to the Senate and will submit them in tomorrow’s ASSC meeting as part of the new business.
Al Wiggins, chairman of the commission, in a partial report to the DT yesterday, said that if the Senate is expecting a complex report, they will be disappointed since the recommendations will be submitted in a simple but comprehensive form.

Saigon s Red-Led Rioters Rough Up American Sailors
NEW YORK. Mar. 20—Valentin Gubitchev wished Judith Copion good luck today and sailed home to Russia with his wife.
Jessup Hits Charges
SAIGON. FRENCH INDO-CHI-NA. Mar. 20—U'.P>—The goodwill mission of two U. S. destroyers ended today after a weekend of Communist-led anti-American rioting that saw American sailors "shoved around” and left Saigon seething with unrest.
Students in all Saigon schools struck today in protest against police action in the riots which left three persons dead and more than 60 injured.
There was widespread damage to stores and vehicles in the old market place, and 15 rioters were under arrest.
French soldiers patroled a 45- ' mile stretch of the Mekong river as the American destroyers Richard B. Anderson and Stickell headed for the open sea on schedule. They J had been here on a four-day goodwill mission but Communist agita- ! tors spoiled their success.
The agitators, followers of Ho: Chi Minh, Moscow-trained leader, of anti-Government rebels, aroused j so much distrust among the Viet
Namese population that once-popu- i lar American sailors were shoved around at every opportunity Sunday and were refused taxis and ! rickshaws.
It was believed there undoubtedly would have been incidents involving Americans if the Navy had not canceled the sailors’ shore leave j Sunday night and ordered them j back to their ships. Communis*, propaganda experts were expected to claim they had driven the American Navy out of town.
No major incidents were reported in Saigon today, but police patroled the streets as groups of students and workers held angry meetings to protest the alleged shooting of two students by police yesterday.
A small child was run over and killed by a truck during the rioting.
Police arrested Nguyen Huu Tho, a local lawyer, on charges of instigating the riots and announced that “further arrests are expected.” Those already seized are held on open charges pending an investigation.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 20—Ambassador-at-large Philip C. Jessup accused Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R., Wis., today of aiding international communism by making “false and irresponsible” Red charges against him and other State depart ment officials.

White House OK s Acheson
KEY WEST, Fla., Mar. 30— (U.E)— President Truman went to bat for Secretary of State Dean Acheson today at a time when the State department was under congressional fire over its handling of Far Eastern policy and internal disloyalty.
Fror x his vacation headquarters here, the president authorized this statement:
“The president has complete confidence in the secretary of state and believes he is running the department admirably."
This statement was issued by Press Secretary Charles G. Ross after publication and broadcast of a rumor that Acheson might be replaced by Chief Justice of the United States Fred M. Vinson. Vinson is visiting the president here, i
Ross said he "hated” to dignify | such a rumor with a denial, but that the report was “completely without foundation , . . No truth whatever ... a complete fabrication.”
At the same time, the White House let it be known that the president hoped to avoid giving a senate subcommittee even limited access to secret loyalty files for its investigation of alleged Communism within Acheson’s department.
