DR. DAVID D. EITZEN Speaks Today
Free-Lance Missionary Talks Today
Dr. Edwin Orr; a free-lance missionary. spoke on the power of prayer and his belief that man is not the product of his glands or environment yesterday, and he will speak again today at 5 in 145 Hancock.
The evangelist told of his many experiences with the power of prayer during his travels as a missionary. He explained that a “free lance” missionary travels without funds and preaches without prior engagement.
Dr. Orr told of his disbelief in the theories that man is the product of his glands or environment. He said that men are not communists or Christians because of their glands and that they can readily change their environment.
As a chaplain-at-!arge during the war. Dr. Orr served with the 13th Air Force in the Solomons and New Guinea. He received seven battle stars before he was inactivated.
Carnell Hits Modern Life
Lashing out at the meaningless existence of modern man in a selfish world. Dr. Edward J. Carnell, guest speaker at yesterday’s Life and Faith program, deplored the fact that the human race, bent only on physical pleasures, is paying the price in iiving out its existence in eternal boredom.
Dr. Carnell. in his talk on “Mid-Century Christian Apologetics,” said that man is perpetually seeking something which is satisfying to him. Yet he is doomed to complete frustration because he looks to the wrong ideals and principles.
“The problem is not separating the atom, deciding policies or discussing economics. The problem is the heart, since man is obliged to love. The emotion of love is higher than thinking, and the only reafr thing is love, not activity,” he continued.
He said that Communism, in its basic elements, is an ideology that is satisfying to mankind and promises the most basic desires of man, a fair share of the world's necessities. However, in actual practice, Communism defeats itself because it denies the individualism which is a vital need of every being. A 1 communistic society reduces the creative spirit to a meaningless mathematical digit.
Dr. Carnell cited science as one of the most elementary forces working to promote acceptance of God. He said, “While many put the sci-1 entific method above God. science ; is a lasting monument to the dig-' nity of man. Because of the basic honesty of the scientific nature, the logical mind cannot deny the existence of a supreme being.”
In answer to a question regarding the acceptance of other creeds as true religions, the speaker said, “A few men, such as Socrates and Gandhi, have attained the status which compels us to accept them on Christian ground although they were outsiders. But if the law of love is our life, Jesus Christ is without competitors.”
Dr. Carnell. associate professor of apologetics at Fuller Theological seminary in Pasadena, spoke in Harris hall.
Unity Platform Asks More Student Powers
In a bid for more student authority and responsibility the Platform committee of the Unity party announced a tentative platform fof student approval yesterday.
Bob Scoilin, committee chairman, said that the proposed platform embodies the principles of the Unity party, all based on the viewpoint that the student body as a whole should have a greater voice in the issues which affect them.
Jack Shaffer, candidate for the ASSC presidency, called the platform “constructive” and “effective.”
Students were urged by Scoilin to submit additional planks for consideration to 419 Student Union Monday, Wednesay or Friday. An open meeting at which the platform and the suggestions will be discussed will be announced tomorrow, he said.
The tentative platform calls for:
1. Incorporation of the associated students to effect removal of the the parking problem through purchase of areas from Menlo to Vermont and Santa Barbara to Exposition, offered by the state.
Incorporation would further permit establishment of student cooperative cafeterias. Student Union, and University Book store, including the rebate system.
2. Equal treatment of all students on the basis of merit regardless of sex. race, religion, political belief, or economic circumstance.
3. Elimination of the mandatory purchase of El Rodeo with the Student Activity card.
4. Fair distribution of athletic and special entertainment tickets.
5. Establishment of a new men's dormitory for Independent students and improvement of existing living conditions.
6. Lowering of tuition commensurate with the downward cost of living.
7. Increase of the minimum university student wage from 65c to 75c per hour.
8. Increased student employment in cafeterias, libraries, bookstore and other areas of student life.
9. Equal treatment of all guest speakers, irrespective of political or religious beliefs.
10. Student control of all student funds and public knowledge of their use.
11. Complete registration by mail for all students on recommendations of the Greater University committee, to become effective immediately.
12. Immediate affiliation with the National Students association, enabling all students to benefit by the purchasing card system now utilized by UCLA. Occidental, Loyola, LACC, and other universities.
13. Publication of a monthly ASSC newsletter and a coordinated calendar of student events, socials, and lectures.
14. Expansion of the faculty grading system now utilized by students in the School of Engineering.
15. Promotion of closer student-faculty relations through the medium of social, cultural and academic function*.
16. Amendment of the ASSC constitution to allow women students to become candidates for ASSC president and all otner student body positions.
17. Appointment of an Independent coordinator responsible for developing independent student activities.
GUP Picks Wiggins For Presidential Race
Food Laws To Be Outlined
Dahl Ensembles Will Play Bach s Art of the Fugue'
Fund Intact as Trovets Assume Dance Deficit
Trovets and not the Living War Memorial fund will stand the loss brought on by the failure of the all-U St. Patrick’s dance. Al Asa-Dorian, Trovet president, announced yesterday.
“Talk that the Memorial Fund stood to lose from the dance was putting future fund drives in jeopardy,’’ he said. “When Trovets underwrote the dance and delegated their share of the proceeds to the fund, they did not imply that the fund would stand the loss. They did not intend that the fund should lose and will not touch fund monies to make up the loss.”
He added that arrangements for the dance were made by last year's board of directors and president but that his group had continued the work and accepted full responsibility.
Roundabout charges included in John Eccleston's DT column yesterday that the dance had been boycotted because of possible political aspirations of the Trovet president brought further comment from Asa-Dorian.
“As far as political aspirations go. I think not. I graduate in June. Enough has been said about this boycott and all I have to add is ‘no comment.’ I would prefer that the whole thing be forgotten, but as long as the memorial fund isn’t jeopardized, let the charges fly”, he said.

Bach began this composition, his last work, in the closing years of his life. It consists of a cycle of 15 fugues, four canons on a single theme, and a chorale. The playing sequence has never been clarified and has often been the subject of much argument. The composer was forced to dictate the last section, the chorale, because of blindness.

Potter. Lucille Lanot, Rae and Donna Jean Bransby.
In a speech before the balloting Wiggins told the group that they were an integral part of stu- , dent government as were the independents.
STANDS FOR BOTH “I am seeking the GUP nomination and backing because GUP j stands for both Row and independents.” Earlier he said the sole j furiction of the Unity party had [ been to mitigate against the Row.
The GUP platform on which Wiggins will stand embodies a rebate system in the bookstore: registration by mail, and integration of j the administration and student ac- : tivities for the betterment of the university.
GUP, party chairman George Prusseli said, will bring government closer to the people by including more students in activities.
WEATHERS TEST Prusseli said he was happy to see the party weather its first big test. It was a‘ marked contrast to the disunity which prevailed
Promoters cf the new Student party spumed an invitation to join the Unity party yesterday and said that they will stand alone in the approaching ASSC elections.
John Roach, party spokesman, said, "Look at the record. It is evidence enough that a new party is needed to achieve cooperation between the fraternity and independent students. It is not our intention to join any other party.” Roach made this statement in answer to Unity chairman Frank O'Sullivan, who yesterday remarked, “If John Roach and John Devlin are sincere, they will join Unity.” “Purpose of the Student party is to achieve a strong, unified student government working for the good of all students,” Roach added.
Rumors have persisted around the campus that the new Student party will throw its strength into the Greater University party camp when elections roll around.
Roach protested that measures will be taken to prevent infiltra-> I tion of the new group by other political factions. He added that he and Devlin will select the executive committee until members of the new party have proved to be sincere.

Students Cars Go Astray As Big Building Taken Away
More than faces were red early last night when puzzled students plodded up and down 36th street hunting for their cars. «
Workers of the M and M House Moving company had moved the vehicles, which had been parked against red no parking signs, across the street or around to University avenue.
Police officers decorated many of the displaced cars with tickets.
Bill Mitchell, co-owner of the moving company, couldn't figure out why the cars were parked in violation of the no parking signs.
“We were promised that this side of the street would be clear when we started moving the house,” said Mitchell.
Final destination of the apartment house which had been lifted from its foundation at 36th street and McClintock was to be Orchard and 31st.
Thirty-sixth street was chosen as the route because It was the only thoroughfare wide enough to pass the building.
Everything went well until the building reached the corner of 36th and University avenue. At that point the move was again delayed by more parked cars.
The building will be in its new location today—barring further difficulties.

Interviews with all applicants will be held from Apr. 17-27. Qualities of personality and general appearance will be considered.
Selection of the candidates is j made by a vote of the Knight mem- j bership after consulting interview and test results.
Membership in Squires is not re- ! quired of Knight applicants. The misconception that Squires are Knight pledges was assailed by Prusseli who said that while Squires are the counterpart of Knights, they have a separate organization, constitution, and set of officers. Knights exercise a supervisory function over Squires only to prevent an overlapping cf projects, he said.
Prusseli urged independent students to file applications. He said that the number of independents seeking membership in recent years has been very low, and does not allow the selective process used in picking candidates to function efficiently.
