He added that the Y has formed a freshman club for frosh members. and will be headed by Charles Donovan, committee chair-
Rehearsals For Medieval Play Begun
Donald Heiney, lecturer in general studies, and Dr. James Butler. drama professor, have begun rehearsals for "The Farce of Master Peter Patelin,” the medieval French comedy to be prsented in the Stop-Gap theater during the first week of March.
The staging of this play is the result of lpng-time cooperation be-j tween the two men to bring the comedy to present-day audiences.
Heiney, who has a doctor’s degree in comparitive literature, i translated the play from medieval I French into modern English. The task was exceptionally difficult because most Fpenchmen today ; cannot understand the type of medieval French that w>as used in the play.
Unique Translation
Dr. Butler pointed out that this play has been translated into English before but doesn’t think that they compare with Heiney’s translation. The presentation of the play will therefore be an experiment to see how well Heiney’s translation will go on the stage, Dr. Butler said.
Ken Shanks, IFC coordinator who will portray Patelin, declared that the present translation will make tne performance as riotous as when it was first presented about 14C4.
Visual Study
“Many students have taken man and civilization and comparitive literature courses, and they have had to study medieval drama. Here is a chance for them to see history come alive in this excellent medieval play,” he stated.
Both Dr. Butler and Heiney have been interested in “Patelin” for a number of years: Heiney in translating the work, and Dr. Butler in presenting a satisfactory translation.
In spite of their interest, the two were not aware of the other’s interest until they sat together at the counseling table during registration two years ago. Finding a mutual interest, the twx> men set about to bring the story of the blustering French lawyer to SC. The drama will be offered at five performances, Mar. 3-7.
The play will be presented by the National Collegiate players, and the cast will be made up of SC students. Tickets for all performances may be obtained in the drama office, 3709 South Hoover street, for 75 cents.

Seltzer Replaces Champagne ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fagg to Christen Shell
A shot of seltzer water across the prow and SC’s first racing shell, the Trojan Pioneer, will be officially “launched” for the coming season. The christening ceremony will take place tomorrow at noon outside Founders hall and Fred D»
Fagg Jr., university president, will do the honors._
The new shell, obtained for the
SC crew through alumni donations, will be on display today outside Founders hall. The crew has previously had to be content with using discarded shells from the University of California.
Too Tough Ken Norris, co-captain of the 1953 team, explained that a cham-paigne bottle could not be used in the christening because it w’ould break the shell, and consequently Dr. Fagg will use a bottle of seltzer water .
Norris said that the eight-man shell is 60 feet long, 25 inches wide, at the gunwale, weighs 300 pounds, and has a maximum depth of 14 inches.
“This new shell will give us the best chance we have had so far to take a league championship,” Norris said. “The old shells that we have had to use previously were so out-dated that the crew never learned the niceties of rowing. With this new shell, we will have the best equipment available for the sport.”
Sixth Year Norris said that a crew member will be at the shell all day today and will answer questions about the shell and the sport.
This spring will mark SC’s sixth year of competition in rowing. Their best season was in 1950 wiien they finished fourth in the league.

Phi Taus Hunt Stolen Statue They Pilfered
A much-stolen statue of the Roman goddess Minerva is the object of a search by members of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity today.
The Phi Taus themselves stole the statue from the front yard of the John Malloy Jr. home, 3950 Los Feliz boulevard, Feb. 4. But they brought it back after finding that the marble bust, carved in Italy, was valuable. Now someone else has stolen the statue, and law enforcement officials think the Phi Taus are responsible.
The original theft of the statue occurred as a fraternity prank early this month. Yesterday, when the statue was reported missing again, District Atty. S. Ernest Roll ordered the fraternity men to return a statue which, apparently, someone else had walked off with.
Phi Taus are offering a $100 reward for the return of Minerva, which, they say, “looks like Helen of Troy.” And yesterday, five pledges of the fraternity were telling the DA it was all a bum rap.

Arrival ot Equipment In March to Launch Initial Programming
Transmitting equipment for UHF-TV Channel 28 has been purchased and is enroute from an eastern manufacturer for installation atop Mt. Wilson, a spokesman for the Allan Hancock Foundation announced yesterday.
Channel 28—the nation’s first ultra high frequency television station devoted entirely to
educational and non-commercial programs—is scheduled to go on the air as soon as installation is completed.
“The transmitters are scheduled to arrive early in March and actual programming may begin as early as April,” Dr. William Sener, head of the department of telecommunications, said.
With facilities equal to any others in the industry, and the elaborate plant located in the Allan Hancock Foundation building, Channel 28 probably could not be duplicated for less than $6 million.
The entire operation is a product of the futuristic thinking of Capt. Allan Hancock, director of the Allan Hancock Foundation for Scientific Research.
Since 1951 Under development since 1951, when Capt. Hancock first became interested in the idea, Channel 28 has a working area of three cork-floored studios.
The rooms are stocked with lights, microphone booms, backdrops, and a complete science laboratory. Every conceivable electronic facility is included.
Roomfuls of 17th century period furniture, alabaster statuary, art treasures and persian carpets have been brought in from the historic old Hancock mansion which was once located at Wilshire boulevard and Vermont avenue.
A marble staircase, stained-glass windows and even an antique pipe organ have been installed. The rare furnishings are for use as settings for dramatic productions and music recitals.
Large Auditorium Other facilities available for Channel 28 productions include a large auditorium, workshops for technical studies, a $40,000 photomicroscope, film laboratories, dressing rooms, a lounge, and four cameras.
To quell possible controversy which might arise with the debut of this non-profit educational television station, Dr. Sener recently offered a few answers in advance.
“We have no intention of competing with the commercial outlets,” he said.
TV Workshop “One of our functions as a nonprofit organization is to provide a sort of workshop in which the commercial stations can experiment with new ideas and test them for audience reaction.” “We’re already getting enthusiastic participation by far-sighted executives who agree that the result will be to raise the standard of all TV programs for the betterment of the entire industry.” Sener believes that the days of mass audiences” in TV are declining and that serious thinking should be done about “selected audiences.”

Big Brothers Selected for New Students
New men students were assigned big brothers yesterday by George Gonzales, Associated Men students president, to acquaint the incoming men to the campus.
One hundred and seventy-five big brothers were named from the ranks of Knights and Squires, by Gonzales, and he asked them to contact their little brothers and show them the school.
The plan was first undertaken last spring by Bob Mitchell, then AMS president, and it is still in the experimental stage. The plan was adopted originally from the AWS big-little sister program which has been functioning suc-cssfully for several years.
In explaining the program, Gonzales said, “In view of the lack of a specifically designed orientation class at SC, this hig-little brother program is essentially the next best thing for the new men students.”
He said that the program will also give the new students an insight to school affairs by these contacts with men in service groups.
Gonzales urged all big brothers and new men to check the list in the AMS office, 212 SU to find their respective brothers.
Plan Bovard Lecture for ARO Cadets
A program for the purpose of obtaining cadets and creating interest in the flying training program will continue today with a lecture scheduled for Bovard auditorium at 12 noon.
The three-day project, which is being presented by the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps, began yesterday and will continue through tomorrow. From yesterday’s opening presentation of flying talks, “quite a few students have signed up,” according to Col. Bob Arnold, commanding officer of the AFROTC.
Col. Arnold said that the attempt to advance interest in flying has no connection with the AFROTC here, although his group should benefit from the activities.
Two veteran Korean war flyers, one an AFROTC graduate, will speak before the group today. A similar program will be organized for the final day tomorrow.
Chancellor Comments On New Education Plan
by George Lasezkay
When Robert R. Young, board chairman of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway recently suggested “a marriage of business and education” for the benefit of both, three college heads in the East were skeptical.
The picture is approximately the same at SC.
Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, chancellor of the university, said in an interview yesterday that the plan Young proposes is another version of the Antioch plan which has had many variations.
• Antioch Plan
The Antioch plan originated at Antioch college, Ohio, years ago. Under it, students attended school for three months and worked in private industry for the next three months.
“The plan has no particular advantage,” Dr. von KleinSmid said. “While it may help the student financially, it extends considerably his college program in the point of time it takes him to graduate.”
Business does have a definite stake in education, however, he added. and th« decision to subsidize education is a “wise one.” “The idea is developing in a pleasing degree.”
Private Endowments
Forward-looking business is now undertaking intelligently to support institutions with private endowments, said Dr. von Klein-Smid, and the system is working well at SC. SC should be the recipient of business gifts, he said,
and both the school and business will be further ahead.
Lawrence C. Lockley, dean of the School of Commerce when apprised of another statement by Young said he (Young) is “uninformed.”
Tailor Service*
Young’s statement was that business and industry need “clearing-houses” in which to get training in problems affecting their progress. “If education does not offer such clearing-houses for every industry, business sooner or later will,” he said.
“Colleges should tailor their services to the needs of business," Dr. Lockley said, “and SC has already made steps in this direction. Business realizes this and is coming to SC with its problems.” Colleges need the support 'of business “for services rendered and not as a charity,” Dr. Lockley added. “If the service is delivered, business will be forced to buy this product and they will get the specific training they need.” One hundred colleges are providing an executive training program this year, he said.
Elaborates Thoughts Elaborating on Dr. von Klein-Smid’s thoughts concerning the Antioch plan. Dr. Lockley said that it may work in very small groups, but in larger groups it has the effect that only the top 25 per cent of the students are placed in the right positions and the bottom 75 per cent are left in positions not in accord with their capabilities.
