Searles Tells Utopia Pitfalls
Five obstacles to the attainment of an Utopia were discussed yesterday by Dr. Herbert L. Searles, professor of ph.losophy, in his lecture, “Science, Values, and Utopia.”
War and intemat onal strife, economic poverty and insecurity, physical and mental illness, human defects and limitations, and natural disasters were listed by Dr. Searles as t’ ' primary defects to be cver-con
Dr. Scarle ’ Bowne hall address, the last lecture of the 38th semiannual philosophy forum, brought out ideas and theories of various authors concerning the solving of world problems through the physical and social sciences. He also discussed the conflict between facts and values.
“Philosophy, which might be in a position to cast healing wisdom on the question of values and thc conflict between facts and values, also has a division in its ranks,” Dr. Searles said.
“Indeed, one of the liveliest issues in current literature is thc present philosophical controversy between po itivists and nonpositiv-ists over the nature and status of human values and the evaluMng activity,” Dr. Searles concluded.
Counseling Aid Broadened for Low Students
Scholastic Probation List Reaches 1326 As Tutors Recruited
The 1326 students on scholastic probation this semester have created so serious a problem that special counseling services have been expanded by the university.
Albert F. Zech, counselor of ] men, is being assisted by graduate students majoring in education who will attempt to diagnose difficulties and suggest remedies.
Of the 1326 students on probation 1133 are men and 193 women. There are 425 juniors, 407 sophomores. 277 freshmen, 137 seniors, and 80 special students.
GI's lead non-GI’s 768 to 481, with 61 rehabs and 6 state veterans also listed on probation.
The all fraternity average of 1.272 is topped by an all men's average of 1.383.
“My office has realized the need for better scholarship and this semester, for the first time, we have started interdormitory competition," Dr. Zech said.
“Our students must be made to realize that with job competition in the outside world becoming greater employers are placing more emphasis upon grades when selecting future employees,” he said.
A special counseling form has been worked out and will be used to aid students on probation. A form for studying, preparing notes and papers, and taking exams has been printed and may be obtained in Dr. Zech’s office.

Law Group Pushes Through Race Clause

Change in Finals Weight Pending
The Scholarship committee's lec-cmm end ation on the proposed boost in final examination weight limits is awaiting approval by Educational Vice-President Albert S. Raubenheimer. Registrar Howard W. Patmore said yesterday.
Patmore declined comment as to the nature of the recommendation.
“I can’t say anything until final approval,” he said.
If the committee approves Dr. Raubenheimer's plan, it will be submitted to President Fred D. Fagg Jr. for final decision.
Forty per cent of the grade Ls the absolute limit at present, but this amount is only al'owed in special cases. The most common weights are one-quarter or one-third.
If the proposal is approved, spot quizzes and mid-term exams would lose impor ance, and courses would be intensively reviewed at final
time.
Nationalistic ideologies usually ease into the international scene through any one of three channels, said Dr. Totten J. Anderson, associate professor of political science, yesterday, in previewing tomorrow’s lecture at 7 p.m. in Bowne hall.
He said planks drawn from the recent Nazi and pre~ent Communist ideologies illustrated three possible routes a doctrine could take from national to international significance.
For example, Dr. Anderson said the Nazi “race theory” went beyond the boundaries of Germany itself because it disrupted the existing immigration laws and caused international unbalance.
Using Composer Shostakovich as another example, Dr. Anderson pointed out that musicians following a party line can’t confine activities to their mother country because of the universal aspect of art.
Indicating a third possibility, Dr. Anderson said anything in a national program especially designed for world-wide repercussion, such as the Russian plan for revolution, quickly finds its way into the international picture.
Dr. Anderson’s talk, “Power Politics and Conflicting Ideologies,” will be the second in the Bowne hall 10-lecture series sponsored by University College and the School of Philosophy.
Admission for the entire series is $5, with individual lectures priced at 75 cents. Information concerning reservations may be had by calling Ext. 246.

“tend to remove the present racial and religious restrictions on membership eligibility.”
Stunned oy the introduction of such a proposal at a meeting which was supposedly a routine election of officers, disorganized opponents were unable to muster enough votes to defeat the carefully planted bill. It passed 21 to 18.
NEGRO QUESTION
Ralph Eubank, incoming dean, , .	f
was noncommital as to whether NOXIOUS Politics Negroes might b* admitted to Delta Theta Phi after the unprecedented vote.
“That's not the purpose of the measure,” he said. “It’s to take a stand on an amendment to the national constitution which has already been proposed.’’
Eubank and outgoing Dean Gene Arant were jubilant over the success of their political bombshell and expressed the cp'nion that, without strong leadership on their part, the motion would have been defeated.
“If they had known what we were going to do, or if any more members had shown up, we would have failed,” Arant said.
OPPOSITION IRKED
A red-faced member of the opposition who had attended the “routine” meeting pushed his way out of the conference room, not waiting for the election of officials after thr heated argument on the bill.
“I don’t go along with that deal at all,” he said. “No, I won’t give my name. Get your dope from them,” he said, pointing angrily at the closing door.
“It’s their measure. They might possibly give both sides,” he said.
Arant and Eubank were too pleased with the success cf their resolution to do more than congratulate each other. However, both admitted that the bill was little more than a token victory and expressed the opinion that any action to remove racial and religious restrictions at the national convention would “probably be defeated.”
OPPOSE CHANGE
“Around here, just like everywhere, officers are opposed to any 'Change in the status quo,” Arant said.
“I wouldn’t have tried anything like this unless I was going out of office,’’ he added.
Eubank, replacing Arant after yesterday’s election, also felt that the action might have repercussions.
“It’s common knowledge that outside pressure groups have prevented nonrestrictive amendments in the past and may fight them in the future,” he said after the stormy session.
In less-hostile moments of the meeting, Horace Comstock was selected as the fraternity candidate for president of the Student Bar association.

Y Head Blasts Padgett Motion
Bitterly branding the Padgett “race and descent” resolution as a ‘noxious political movq,” Dave Evans, YMCA president denied yesterday that his organization is connected with the Council of Religion's blanket sanction of the amendment.
In a hastily summoned meeling ye.terday afternoon, Y council members unan.mously passed a resolution instructing Ed Jeffery, Y delegate to the Council of Religion to maintain a neutral attitude on the question at all times.
The resolution received unanimous approval, however, only after the disgruntled bolting from Y Counc.l ranks of Trovet President Frank O'Sullivan in the middle of the conference.
Evans cast a dubious eye on Vernon Blake’s plea for “people interested in the moral issue” and wryly commented that “the moral issue coming so close tc election time might suggest that common political motives impel it.”
Evans decried the manipulation of minorities at election time and commented that, at yesterday’s meeting, members of the Negro race and Jewish faith were firmly convinced that the university is being unjustly attacked.
“I especially want to clear up the fact that the Council of Religion, of which the Y is a voting member, did not have Y approval of such a stand,” he said.
Evans assailed the Padgett motion and its supporters for “generalities and old-fashioned political oratory,” and charged that the controversial bill has brought unwarranted criticism on the university from without.
“I have never seen proof that the university uses such information for purposes of discrimination,” he said. “If I did see proof, I would be compelled to do something abou: it personally. Padgett has shown no proof, and he made his charges at the wrong time. Besides he went about it the wrong way,” Evan> said.
ing yesterday in Mudd hall.	*•
Only about 50 persons attended! the meeting which had been billed 1 as a “mass” gathering to air opposing views on the controversial Padgett proposal to remove race and descent questions from application for admission blanks.
A Jewish predental student who ! refused to g.ve his name, flatly accused the SC Schools of Medicine and Dentistry of showing discrimination.
He said that he had made his application for admission to the School of Dentistry a year and a half ago. Many non-Jewish predental students made applications much later than he, he chargcd. and they have already been called for interviews while he had not.
LETTER REFUSED The speaker said he asked fbr a
letter explaining the delay, but this was reiused. He also was refused permission to see the dean to get “proof” of discrimination, he said.
Relating his own personal experience to the “race and descent resolution,” he termed the admissions blank questions as “irrelevant.”
Bob Flower, Greater University committee cha.rman, suggested tha; the university might have other ways of finding out race and descent information.
He pointed out that veterans’ records and many high school transcrip.s also contain this information.
FLOWER OPPOSES
“It might be a good idea,” he said, “to find out the percentage of minority groups admitted and re jected by the university before making any accusations of discrimination.”
Flower was the only person present who spoke out against the Padgett proposal.
PadgeU and Senator-at - Large Chet Carter earlier explained the details and sketched the background of the resolution. Carter said that it started merely as a recommenda-(Continued on Page 4)

Deuel to Tell Nutrition Facts
A discussion of nutrition and its legal aspccts is scheduled for the art and lecture room of the University library at 3:15 today.
Dr. Harry J. Deuel Jr., head of the department of biochemistry and nutrition, wil! talk on “Can We Legislate Nutrition?” The program will be the fourth of the LAS Wednesday lecture series.
Legislation that has resulted in the nutritive fortification of certain foods will highlight Dr. Deuel’s talk. He will also discuss laws that have limited consumption of foods with a hi^h nutrition value.
Dr. Deuel was called on by the House Agricultural committee last year to testify at the margarine hearings, where he analyzed the comparative nutritional values of animal and vegetable fats.
The SC parking resolu.ion subsubmitted to the City Council by Councilman G. Vemcn Bennett has been withdrawn, Ralph T. Dorsey, city traffic engineer, said yesterday.
Questioned yesterday, Bob Flower, chairman of the Greater University committee, said, ‘ It’s news to me.”
“That resolution should never have been drawn up.” said Dersey. “Angle parking on Exposition and Hoover boulevards is impossible because of the traffic hazard.”
“A change in the speed laws as suggested in the resolution,” Dorsey said, “can be done only by the state, not by the city.”
Flower said that the councilman and the committee will meet in the President’s conference room to discuss the situation at 2:15 today. Sydney Duncan, professor of engineering, will be present .
At present the SC parking problem is static. The Greater U parking petition, sumbitted to the Recreation and Parks commission last February, is now in the hands of the City council. The petition requests unlimited parking on Exposition park streets.
Final decision on the petition rests with the commission. Apparr ently it is waiting the council’s action on the petition before deciding whether or not to restrict the designated streets.

Evanns Tells Red Position
Communism may reach the point of “no return and peter out’ ’said Abner Evanns, associate professor of commerce, yesterday afternoon in a speech in Bridge hall.
Professor Evanns, speaking on “Russian Relations With the Church,” emphasized “when a nation or person deals in a purely materalistic creed they finally reach a state of no return” and risk losing their potency.
At the present time, Soviet Russia has adopted a role of “dualism” in all their functions as a nation. The two roles are “nationalism inside Russia and internationalism outside Russia,’’ Evanns said.
This “dualism.” continued Evanns, is reflected in efforts to divorce the church within the country from any outside control and place it under the guidance of the state. With!n Russia the people have a form of state-religion, to the outside world, the creed is communism.
The existence of duplicity causes fragmentation and lowers the ccn-fdence cf a peonle ;n any order. This is reen .n Marshall Tito’s defiance of P”,oia and his adoption of a rr:-it of na^cna’ism for Yugo-~lov ~	professor Evanns.
“The communists say,” concluded Evanns, “"hat they are using the materalis'ic approach as a means of gaining an end The danger here is that *he goal may never be ,-errv’ed.”
