Students, Faculty Clash No Inhibition In Chest' Word Battle Leads One to
Malnutrition
Opponents in today's Trojan Chest debate in Bovard, spent last night sharpening swords in anticipation of the ooming battle of words.
The deoate wrill be students versus faculty with Mohinder S. Bedi. Dean Pic’l, and Bo Jansen facing Ken Shanks. Dr. George H. Watson. and Dr. Charles W. Redding. The student group will support the affirmative against the faculty over the question “Resolved, that the faculty of the University of Southern California should be done away with.*’
Naturally there were comments on each side as to the outcome of the debate, and also some aspersiops based on the abilities of the opposing factions.
Jansen gave a hint of the affirmative’s intentions.
“We intend to place under discussion three shining examples of the faculty—we won't mention names—and -prove their general ineptness and inability to teach anything." he said. “As they are ex-
cellent examples of the subject group, the facts that we prove concerning them will show that the faculty should be dispensed with.”
Bedi is keeping mum about the angle he will take in attacking ttie faculty.
“The strong contentions of our case are quite evident,” he doubletalked, “therefore there is no need to stress at this time our points of attack. My one desire is to find that absent minded professor who forgets to come to class. Failing that we think the faculty should be dispensed with.”
Unfortunately, Dr. Watson and Dr. Redding could not be reached for comment. However, they will have ample opportunity this afternoon to dispute the claims of their opponents.
The debate is slated to open in Bovard auditorium at 1:15. Admission is free to apyone who wants to hear this wily group of orators match wits with one other. A collection will be made later, the funds of which go to the Trojan Chest.
Malnutrition in the United States is caused by overeating!
At any rate, that’s what Dr. Lucien Bavetta, professor of bacteriology and biochemistry, Mill claim when he faces the television cameras Saturday night on the ’'Halls of Science” show. Dr. Bavetta’s subject is “Calories and Nutrition.”
SC coeds Diana Loomis and Kathy Adams will liven up the show when they appear as models to illustrate how weight is dependent upon bone structure.
YW' to Present Trophies For Best Carnival Booths
IFC Agrees On Date for Annual Dance
Writers to Judge IFC Songfest
Row Readies Serenade
Eieven fraternities are ‘standing ed to the winner of each class, by’’ today with their vocalist vir- j Judging will be done on a 100-tuosos in a state of hushed, lar- points-for-perfect basis.
The point system is divided into i a possible 30 markers awarded for production; SO for balance and o.end (harmonic effects); 30 for pitch; and 10 for appearance.
E. Wolfe Gilbert, song writer; Dr. Stetson Humphrey, singing tutor; Jimmy McHugh, song writer ;i and Clarence Sawhill, director of the SC band, will 'decide the winners. .	. •„
Gilbert Lyrics Lyricist Gilbert hss authored ‘Ramona.’ “Down Yonder,” “Waiting for the Robert E. Lee,1’ and •'Peanut Vendor?’*
McHugh has scribed the sharps and flats for “On the Sunny Side of the Street,” “When my Sugar Walks Down the Street,” “When You and I Were Young Maggie Blues," and “I’m in the Mood for Love.”
Judges will be introduced before the carolling gets under way by Ken Shanks, interfraternity coordinator.
Ciiuc.; K:liy, president of IFC which is sponsoring the songfest and awarding the trophies, will present a short introductory address.
Two new trophies have been added to and one dropped from the awards given to sororities and other campus groups presenting the cleverest booths at the YWCA carnival next Friday night.
Trophies for the most humorous and the most beautiful booths will be given for the first time this year at the “Global Gayety” carnival from 6:30 to 11.
The award for the most appropriate booth, won last year by Pi Phi, was abolished, at least for this year's carnival, because it was felt that it would be too difficult to judge since all the booths would be following the international theme.
The sweepstakes trophy and the prize for the booth expressing the most originality will be again be awarded.
If Chi Omega repeats its performance of the last two years, it will cop the sweepstakes trophy per-[ maqently. The trdphies are rotating, but after winning one three suces-sive times, the group is given the award to keep.
Last year's sweepstakes winning ChiO booth featured a miniature
political sicence; and Ken Shanks* IFC coordinator.
Admission to the carnival entitles the ticket-buyer to dancing and costs 25 cents. Tickets may be purchased at the Y, from any Y cabinet or carnival committee member

“Wide Horizon,” the fast moving two-act piusical that affords a pleasant evening of entertainment, will close its three day run tonight at 8:30 at Bovard Auditorium-Tickets, which will be on sale at the box office, are' 60 cents. All the proceeds go towards the Trojan Chest drive.
The musical comedy was co-authored by Sam Spence and Jack Tillar. Spence also serves as musical director, composer, and arranger, while Tillar produced the show aside from composing a few tunes and writing the lyrics.
Las Vegas Trip Built around the escapades of a group of college students, the story explains their trip to Las Vegas and how they attempt to raise money for a musical that their university has refused to back.
Qtrong leading singers are lacking in both male and female leading roles and often, perhaps partially due to the poor acoustics of Bovard, the audience is unable to distinguish the lyrics of the musical numbers.
Colton Good “Candy Isle,” the opening number, shows that Jack Colton, as Charlie, lacks the resonance necessary to compete with Bovard. His dance arrangements, however, as well as his own dancing are of high professional character, and add oomph to the show.
Laurel Blimp, who plays #the part of Toni, the singing lead, also shows the need of a stronger, clearer voice.
Female show - stealer is Jeneal Crowley, who plays Connie, the typical "I gbtta’ getta’ man” character. Male honors are a toss-up between Ken Shanks as Dewitt Goodrich, * the “staid-in-his-ways” board of trustees president and Edward Earle as Freeman, the arithmetic-minded collegian, who figures formulas to whip the rou-wheel.
Although someone else sings for her, Courtna McMann, as Linda, successfully dances her way through the major female dance routines.
Art Tookoian as Eddie, the deepvoiced Las Vegas night-club owner, also played his part well.
Of the musical’s 15 songs, special mention should be given to “Live Dangerously,” “Just Between
You and Me,” and the insinuating “Covers of a Book." A quartet round-robin effect is laboriously performed by the leading plaj»»rs in presenting “Twilight,” in the opening scene of the second act.
In typical Hollywood fashion, “Wide Horizon” terminates in happiness and accord.
AN ENJOYABLE JOB is that of Jack Colton who is shown here holding his dancing partner Courtna McMann. Miss McMann and Colton along with the line of chorus girls are appearing in the Varsity show "Wide Horizon" which will complete its run in Bovard auditorium tonight
