HAVE BAWDY LINES
Medieval Farces Open at Stop Gap
by Al Morch
A simple plot with a few bawdy lines describes both “Master Pierre Patelin” and "In the Suds.” medieval French farces which made their debuts at the Stop Gap theater last night. ‘-Patelin” deals with a shyster lawyer who does the local merchant out of some cloth only to be outwitted in turn
by the village half-wit.

CSTA Members To Present Mock Interview
A mock interview will be presented by the California Student. Teachers association for all education r.ipjors at 11 this morning in 206 .Administration.
During the interview, questions like the following will be answered for th? teacher hopefuls: “What does your employer want to know about you?"; “what are you expected to know?”; and “what should you take with you on an interview?”
Applicants for an elementary and a secondary position will be interviewed during the mock demonstration. and a question and answer period will follow.
Sponsor of the interview. CS TA. is now conducting its spring membership drive . Information may be obtained at the CSTA booth in front of the Student Union from 10 to 3 daily.
CSTA is the only professional society open to student teachers and is affiliated with the California Teachers association.
‘ Suds,’’ written a century earlier, has even a simpler construction. A hen-pecked husband is given a list of domestic chores to do by his shrewish wife and mother-in-law. The wife falls in the laundry tub and her husband refuses to help her out because it is not on the list.
Wears Pantaloons
But all ends well that lands well and in verse form the wife promises to let hubby wear the pantaloons in the family.
Ken Shanks as the lawyer in “Patelin” held a shaky plot to-I gether with his poise and timing.
His wife Guillemette, portrayed by Pat Hougham, was slightly too cultured for her role. The draper, played by Morton Miller, was convincing although he gives the impression of a French Barry Fitzgerald.
Toe* Quiver
.Louis Pollay's characterization of the half-witted shepherd was the most brilliant. His legs were swathed in ragged cloth wrappings. His exposed toes quivered and put on quite a show by themselves. He emitted idiocy from every pore.
William White rapped his gavel convincingly but otherwise was less assuring as the “cow pasture” judge.
“In the Suds” moved pleasantly in verse form although Barbara Blauch, as the wife Jeanette, sing-songed most of her linss.
Good as Husband
Whether it was a tear or sweat seen running down Giles Robinson's face, he was a good henpecked husband, having the sympathy of the audience all the way.
Mary Reveles as the mother-in-law was adequate. The sets, designed by Raymond Larson, were simple but not entirely effective.
“Patelin” and “Suds” will be staged every evening at 8:30 at the Stop Gap theater, Exposition and Hoover. Tickets are 75 cents and may be purchased at the box office or by calling Richmond 2311, Ext. 402.
COL BOB ARNOLD ... to Norton
Arnold Tells New Campus Air RO Plan
A new campus AFROTC policy, which will permit cadets to tour nearby Norton Air Force base, is being planned, Col. Bob Arnold, commanding officer, announced yesterday.
Last Saturday 26 cadets toured the San Bernardino btise as an experiment. The staff was so satisfied with the results, said Lt. Col. Edward Garrett, associate professor of air science and tactics, that a series of these one-day tours which wili enable every man in the program to visit the base are being arranged.
Norton is an air materiel area which is air force terminalogy foi a supply depot. It is one of eight such air force bases in the U.S. which distributes supplies throughout the world.
The cadets were taken through the base’s maintenance, air defense control ,and base operations centers.
In the air defense bureau, the nerve center of Southern California air defense, the* cadets had the workings of the defense setup explained to them and actually watched an unidentified plane being tracked on the radar screen.
The correct way to plan a flight and how to make weather reports were two of the things shown to the students at the base operations center.

HUMANISM THEORY TOLD
by Don Desfor
Humanism, “Schiller's philosophical attitude of human beings striving to ccmprehend a world of human experience by the resources of the human mind,’’ was explained yesterday by Herbert L. Searles. professor of philosophy.
Schiller believed that knowledge grows out of human needs and man is the measure of all things, Searles said.
The third of the series of Philosophy lectures was given in spacious Bowne hall but the audience could have fitted around a table in the Trojan grill. A crowd of 25 which later swelled to 35, listened to Professor Searles tell the activities and accomplishments in the life of Ferdinand Scott Schiller, one of the four great pragmatists of our time.
Off The Cuff Of particular interest, however, were the informal comments from the audience made by George Roth. Professor Wilbur Long, and Dr. Arthur B. Briggs, telling of their experiences with the philosopher.
Long, professor of * philosophy, was a faculty acquaintance of Schiller. Schiller was championing Eugenics and campaigning for professors to have more children. Long said Schiller’s response wasn’t too genial when he reminded Schiller of his bach-• elor status. However, the love bug finally bit Schiller in his 70’s and he married in 1935, two years before his death here.
Devout Follower George Roth, mathematics and philosophy teacher at Bellflower high school, was a graduate and undergraduate student of Schiller’s at SC and is a devout follower of his works. Roth said that Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling. then the head of the School ‘ Philosopty at SC, was one of the few who really ecognized the genious of Schiller.
*Th«y completely passed him by at Oxford and
Cornell, when he taught there,” Roth said, “partly because he disagreed with his associates at Oxford and played jokes on his contemporaries at Cornell ” i Dr. Arthuf B. Brigg, lawyer and friend of Schiller’s, emphasized Roth’s points of the keen mind, vast knowledge, and prolific writing ability that | Schiller possessed. Professor Searles talked of Schiller's long friendship with William James and his important part in the Pragmatic view, which Schiller preferred to call Humanism.
Schiller came to SC as professor of Philosophy in 1926. and for several years divided his time between SC and Corpus Christi College at Oxford, where he had been a Fellow and Senior Tutor since 1897.
“Schiller could talk intelligently on anything. As a graduate prank we dug out some insignificant Polish history to throw at the master,” related Roth. 'The man impressed his students with hav- I ing a psychic insight- When one of the students j started to tell his carefully sought facts, Schiller told the class all the facts and even more.”
“The man was brilliant. He turned his meager Oxford salary into a small fortune with wise stock market investments. His knowledge of history, especially European was amazing. He spoke seven languages and enjoyed putting out ideas under assumed names for public reaction,” Roth said.
Early Estimation Searles also pointed out Schiller's forays into the technical problem of philosophy, psychical research, as well as social, political, eugenical, and educational fields.
In his conclusion Searles said it was too early to estimate Schiller’s importance to philosophy. However, there seemed to have been no doubt in j the mind of the ones who said they “knew him.
Unity Members To Discuss Discrimination
Legislation to investigate racial and religious discrimination will be presented at the Unity party dinner meeting today at 5 in the Commons roof-garden.
The legislation is an outgrowth of the Unity party meeting Sunday night when the 40 students decided something should be done about discrimination at SC.
Campaign plans for the general spring election will also be discussed but whether the discrimination topic will be part of the campaign plans depends on what action is taken to erase discrimination at SC, according to Bo Jansen and Joseph Cerrel, party spokesmen.
Jansen hesitated to reveal what action the group plans until more conclusive evidence can be collected.
Offficers elected at the party’s first meeting of the semester were Jansen, chairman; Marguerite Cooper, secretary; Bette Dob-kin, treasurer; and Cerrell, publicity chairman.
“Any independent who wishes to voice his opinions on any matter of importance is invited to this afternoon’s meeting,” Jansen said.

Josef Stalin Near Death; World Waits
Josef Stalin, iron-handed ruler of 200 million subjects, was in a coma last night suffering from a hemorrhage of the brain.
Brief announcements from the government news bureau said that the 73-year-old Communist was also suffering from loss of speech and paralysis of the right arm and leg. As recently as Feb. 18 he had been reported in good condition.
At presstime last night Stalin was reportedly still battling for his life. His death may result in a scramble for power which may alter the present course of history.

Senate May Attempt To Cut Grade Point
•
by Charlie Barnett
The annual ASSC Senators’ assault on the 1.5—1953 style—is expected to be launched tonight when the Senate meets at 7:45. The ASSC elections grade point requirement, whic h someone seems to want revised about once a year, is to come under fire again.
Along with this classic issue on the agenda is a new slant on the subject of most intense current interest—discrimination in the fraternity system.

resigns, Independent Men’s Representative Bill Van Alstyne will ask the Senate to send a recommendation on the subject to the IFC.
Van Alstyne’s recommendation would request the IFC to see that each SC representative to a national fraternity convention move to amend the national charter of that fraternity by striking out any racial or religious discrimination clauses.
In bowing out as an independent, Van Alstyne will also introduce a constitutional amendment to create a committee of three faculty members and three students to approve yell king candidates before they are put on the ballot. This committee would also have the power :o remove a yell king from office in case of incompetence.
Last Request
A rules committee to re-write the ASSC constitution will be another of Van Alstyne’s last requests. He also intends to give a report of the committee on high school relations.
When these issues are completed, the senator, who has given up independent life to become a fraternity pledge, says he will give up his position as representative of the independent men-
The last attack against the requirement of a 1.5 scholastic average to run for elective ASSC office came in the fall of 1951. The 1.5 standard stood up before the original blast and also was upheld at a meeting two weeks later.
If the Senate were to vote for a change in the candidates grade requirement, the proposed constitutional amendment would go before the students in the next election.
Last Item
A loan to help support the expenses of the SC delegation to the Model UN at the University of California in mid-April will be asked by the School of International Relations. An advance of $264 is expected to be requested.
There is a possibility that reports by the elections commissioner and the orientation chairman may be last minute additions to agenda.
Senate meetings held in 418 SU are open to all students.
Berkes to Talk At Nev. Air Base
Dr. Ross N. Berkes, acting director of the School of International Relations, will lecture on American psychological warfare at Nellis Air base in Las Vegas, Mar. 11.
Dr. Berkes’ talk will stress the importance of the United States’ European defense program, the new administration’s foreign and domestic armistice policies, and various means of overcoming the Soviet propaganda program with counter-propaganda from the free nations.
Bill Van Alstyne, independent men’s representative on the ASSC Senate, said yesterday that he would probably resign his , -seat tonight.
He has pledged Acacia, fraternity so he cannot continue to be the independent men’s representative.
When interviewed, Van Alystyne said he would resign after tonight’s meeting “providing those measures brought before the Senate before I joined a fraternity are definitely settled.”
Measures Van Alstyne referred to include a recommendation on the discrimination issue, a report on the committee for high school relations, the amending of the constitution for the election of the yell king, ftie investigation of apathy in student affairs, lowering of grade-point average requirements for student body offices, and rewriting of the constitution.
When asked if he thought that his affiliations with a fraternity let down the independent students, Van Alstyne replied “Not at all.”
He said he would probably not run for the Senate seat vacated when Tinka Wing Mann dropped out of school.

Coed Extracts Cash From Dad
SDX
* . . members will meet today at noon in Student Union 426.
A father’s pride in his 18-year-old daughter resulted in an out-of-court settlement today of a family financial dispute over payment of the daughter’s education expenses at SC.
Dr. Robert H. Smither, an optometrist, met his daughter, Shirley, in the hall outside Superior court where he was to appear to ask to be relieved of $250 monthly payments to his divorced wife, Mrs. Bernice Smither Benton, for support of their children.
The optometrist had ton-tended that the support payments no longer were necessary, since his wife had remarried, and his son, Robert Jr., 22, and daughter were self-supporting.
Mrs. Benton claimed that Smither had made an agreement to ifnance his daughter’s college education if she made good grades in high school.
Smither, after a talk with Shirley, who made a B average and wants to enroll at SC as a dentistry student,agreed to pay her tuition fees and incidental expenses, and also promised her a new car.
Ditch Committee
»
To Plan Activities

Seniors may attend the ditch free if they have paid their $2 senior fee. This will be the last all-senior function before graduation.
“Games, prizes swimming, free refreshments, and basking in the sun are the activities tentatively planned for the day,” said Mickey Miguelez, chairman of the committee.
40 Students Tryout for UN
The one day of interviews for delegates to the Model UN ended yesterday with a record number of 40 applicants vying for the 10 available positions.
“The 10 delegates will be announced Friday,” said Jock Thomson, one of the organizers of the SC delegation which will represent the United States at the body when it meets at • the University of California Apr. 15-18.
Pay Own Expenses
Interest in the event has been tremendous, said Thomson. Many students have indicated that they would like to accompany the group to California as observers, if they are not chosen as delegates.
Observers will not be permitted to participate in the sessions, and will have to pay all of their own expenses, explained Thomson. Delegates, on the other hand, will have to contribute only $15 of their expenses. The rest will be defrayed by the university and other sources, he said-
Committee Sessions
“The caliber of applicants has been very surprising. The average grade point of the candidates is 2.4,” Thomson said.
Plans for setting up a display in Founders hall, depicting events of the Model UN which was held last year at SC are being made by the organizing committee. An appeal has been for loans of pictures from previous Model Un meetings. They may be left at the political science department.
The third annual Model UN will be divided into Security and Economic and Social councils and Trusteeship and Political and Security sommittees.
The Korean peace talks, admission of new countries, and recognition of delegations is expected to take up the majority of the Security council’s time-
The Security council is composed of regular members China, France, USSR, United Kingdom and United States, and temporary members Columbia, Chile, Denmark, Greece, Lebanon, and Pakistan.
The Economic and Social council includes Australia, Belgium, China, Cuba, Egypt, France, Philippines, Poland, Sweden, USSR, United Kingdom, United States and Uruguay.
Economic developments and declaration of human rights are the main topics to which delegates to the latter delegation are expected to devote most of their time.
Lengthy Dicussions The problems of self-government and political advancement a report on on-self governing territories, and the amount of jurisdiction the General Assembly has over these territories are the major prob-lemt confronting the Trusteeship committee-
The place of regional organizations within the UN system, such as. the North Atlantic Treaty organization, and the Tunisian-Mor-occan dispute are the subjects which the Political and Security committee will probably spend most of its time debating.
Approximately 1000 students representing 73 western colleges are expected to attend the conference. Awards will be given to the best delegates at the concluding event of the meeting, the final banquet.
The purpose of the model UN, according to Thomson, is “to stimulate intelligent interest in the real United Nations and to serve as a means whereby students can express themselves
