Make-Believe Turns Real for Strange Interlude' Star
By Ted Wilson.
Twenty-four years ago a dark-eyed, dark-haired little girl stood in front of a big mirror playing make believe.
Friday evening, the same person, now a mature actress, will play make-believq again in the Crescent theater production, “Strange Interlude.” She is Beth Beatty who has appeared in 11 SC productions.
Her portrayal of Nina in “Strange Interlude,” she disclosed in a recent interview, will be the realization of a long-held desire.
"I have wanted to play Nina ever since the day, as an undergraduate. I heard Dr. Aerol Arnold analyze the play in one of his literature classes," she said. We talked while she had a late breakfast during a break in rehearsal.
Besides the natural bent for acting she displayed as a child, she will take with her into the part eight years of experience behind the footlights. She studied for three years at Fasadena Community playhouse, before coming to SC, where she received her bachelor s degree in drama in February, ISfl.
At present she is working on her master's degTee and, between classes, is a secretary in the registrar's office.
Miss Beatty’s childhood “play acting” took place in her home state of Connecticut. Her early desire for self-expression didn’t leave her as she became older.
“I must admit that many a tragic or dramatic scene was enacted before the mirror with myself as both .audience and cast,” she said.
A short woman with raven-black hair and deep-set eyes that laughed at the recollection of her childhood episodes, Miss Beatty's well-modulated voice revealed her three years’ training at Pasadena.
From bedroom dramas she graduated into school plays, where, at the age of 14. her capabilities caught the eye of an MGM talent scout who gave her a screen test. Nothing came of it, but following her graduation from high school, she was given an audition for entrance into the Pasadena playhouse and was accepted immediately.
Then followed three years of intensive study which
BETH BEATTY
. . . makes believe
were exciting, sparkling years,” she exclaimed, while stirring her coffee. Recollections of her experiences Sit the playhouse returned as she sat talking.
“In my first play at Pasadena I took the part of Medea in the Greek tragedy by that name. The woman is totally insane, and, near the end of the play when she discovers that her husband, Jason, is untrue, murders her two young sons. Then she runs screaming from the stage.
“The emotional build-up was tremendous. By the time I had killed my sons, all self-control was gone. I let out a hair-raising screech and raced from the stage, by Grecian gown billowing out behind me.
“For a few minutes I was Medea. This is not good,” she said. “Self-control, we were taught, is the first rule of fine acting. Oh, it impressed the other students, but after the play I got a long bawling out from the director.”
While at Pasadena, Miss Beatty played In or stage managed 19 productions. Some of the plays and the parts she took in them are: “King Lear,”
“Cry Havoc,”
Goneril; “Hamlet,” stage manager; chorus; and “Detour,’ Mrs. Jordeaux.
“One of the qualities I liked mo6t at the Pasadena,’ she said, “was its democratic atmosphere-there are no stars at the Playhouse. The actor with the smallest part quite often has the sumptuous dressing room. The actor with the smallest part isn’t always the poorest one either. At Pasadena the best actors do not necessarily get the lead parts.”
“Speaking of dressing rooms." she continued. I am reminded of the time during a dance sequence when I had to leave the stage, change into tight.x and go back on within less than a minute. The dressing room <in which I had by costumes *as directly behind the stage, extending from one side to the other.
“On that particular stage at the Playhouse it was the shortest way behind the scenes to get from one side to the other. When I came dashing In to

Judgments of the Kangaroo court will menace all smooth-chinned engineers on campus today and tomorrow as Engineering Week continues. A prowling band of vigilantes will lasso every suspiciously neat engineering student and throw him to the mercy of the irregular tribunal.
Only those meeting one or both of the following oonditions will be beyond the power of enforcers of engineering law.
1.	A visible growth of beard or reasonably accurate facsimile thereof must be readily apparent to even the notoriously short-sighted.
2.	A valid, clean-shave chit must be presented upon demand.
Jail Sentence
Engineering students not covered
Today—Kangaroo Court, Portable Jail for offenders.
Tomorrow—Kangaroo Court.
Friday—Engineers' Rally, Bovard auditorium at 18: Crowning of Mystery Queen, variety acts with emcee John Grant, presentation of Beaver Trophy to Beard contest winner. Engineering picnic, Exposition park at 1; facul-ty-student games, refreshments.
Saturday—Engineers’ Ball at Lakewood Country club, students and alumni invited, bids S2.50.
by regulations or a beard will be popped into a portable jail to languish for at least an hour to atone for their sins.
Allowing for the characteristic uncertainty of action by both vigilantes and Kangaroo courts, the wielders of the slide-rule will have j an until noon to coax a beard out, or buy a smooth-chin chit at greatly inflated prices. Promptly at noon, the chits will be obtainable in the jail-house only.
Late yesterday, Bob Morrell, chairman of the week's festivities, was still being besieged by late registrants for the beard raising
derby, and purchasers of ' clean-shave chits.
He smiled slyly as he" watched the counting of the funds received from those intending to remain clean-shaven. “We already have over $12 in the till, and price for the passes are steadily Rising. The last ones went for 20 cents,” Morrell said.
‘Sloppy Joe’ Professors
Yesterday, engineering faculty members were seen around campus dressed very casually. Requirements of the day forced them to appear dressed in the manner of students.
Most professors interpreted this ruling very liberally—some fet that the well dressed student goes to class in sedate, blue worsteds.
One faculty member seen in the chemical engineering department attjred in very collegiate tweeds and slacks volunteered the information that he “would have worn levis if I had any.”
L Robert Schruben, general engineering profe'sor, wore a neat business suit, but apologized for it by commenting. “I had an interview scheduled.” It seems that during the semester students account for similar dress with the same comment.
Engineering Week is also more than fun as several exhibits were set up in the Student lounge. They will be displayed throughout the week.
Displays at Student Lounge
The California State Highway department furnished a model of intricate freeway intersection planned for downtown Los Angeles. Photograph of freeway construction accompanied the model.
(North American Aviation sent a working model of a low-power nuclear reactor which they are developing for medical research.
Reaching the finale, Friday’s rally in Bovard will be' a fast mov-
ing program with Johnny Grant, radio disc jockey, as master of ceremonies. The "Mystery Queen.” will be introduced to students at the program, Morrell said.
“Everyone in the university is invited to attend the noon show,” Morrell emphasized. “Several variety acts, and the judging of the whisky derby assure a lively time lor everybody.’’ _____

Senior Orators To Face West Point Team
A traditional debate rivalry will be revived tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. in 335 Founders hall when SC’s senior debate team hosts a team from West Point.
Charles Redding, professor of speech and debate coach, said yesterday that William Henderson and George Rogers will represent SC. The teams will debate on, “Resolved, that the feieral government should relieve permanent pressure of price and wage control.” SC will defend the affirmative view, West Point the negative.
" Fine Racord “Henderson and Rogers have a very fine record this season.” Redding said. ‘They have won 65 per cent of all their debates to give SC the second best record among southern California colleges. The University of Redlands is firet.” Henderson was a standout debater at Los Angeles City college before coming to SC and placed In the national JC speech tournament. Rogers has scored a first place in every meet this year.
Redding said the names of the West Point debaters were not available. After debating the SC team, the West Pointers will meet UCLA, Occidental, and Redlands. The In.st time a West Point team met SC was three years ago, in a non-decision debate. The two teams have met many times over the past 20 years.
After the West; Point debate, a full slate of speech contests is scheduled for the Henderson-Rog-ers duo. During Easter vacation they will represent SC In the Pacific Coast invitationaJ tournament at College of Pacific in Stockton.
Revived Humor Mag Slams Westwood
Wampus, thoroughy cleansed of its former sins, hits the streets at 9 this morning after an absence from campus since last May.
The humor magazine, which pokes fun a t individuals and institutions at SC — and which aroused a storm of criticism from the lair of the baby Bruin for an “unusual” treatment given UCLA—is the most colorful issue since before the war, according to Editor Allen A. Arthur’s progressive propaganda department.

Model UN Delegates Receive Indoctrination
Counselors Confer at SC
Students coming to this university from high schools in the Southland will be better counseled and wiH know more of what to expect in their chocen majors as the result of the High School Counselors conference to be held today.
One hundred and twenty-five counselors from 56 Southern California high schools will meet with 25 representatives of the various university departments to discuss guidance and preparatory programs, university requirements and courses offered.
High on the list for discussion will be the departmental requirements. Each of -the 25 department ; representatives, deans and heads of departments, will outline requirements for his respective department.
Following a luncheon at Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall, the counselors and department representatives will meet from 1:25 to 4 p.m. in Founders hall, where Russell M. Hackler, director of high school and junior college relations, will act as chairman.
The film, “Designed for You,” will open the meeting, after which the counselors will discuss their problems with the faculty members.
Following this will be an open invited j discussion with six representatives of the student personnel services headed by Bernard L. Hyink, dean of students.
SC’s Model United Nations delegation was given an indoctrination yesterday on how to imitate the Soviet Union during the sessions to be held at SC, Apr. 2 to 5.
Rodger Swearingen, visiting assis tant professor of international relations, outlined the main lines of Soviet policy, and the techniques that they have employed in the UN when speaking before the delegates.
Fo’low Soviet Line
He emphasized that it will probably be difficult to take the position of the Soviet Dut that they must take such a stand for the purpose of giving the sessions real meaning.
In outlining the lines of Soviet policy and propaganda Swearingen said they must support the peoples movement against western imperialism. Western imperialism must always be tied up with the United States and the U.S. must also be identified with aggression against the people of Asia.
This has been the line which the Russians have followed since the UN was born in San Francisco, he said.
Soviets Seek Peace
Delegates must also make sure that they do not differentiate between military and political questions, particularly when it suits the purpose of the Soviet.
They must remember that the Soviet is the champion of world peace and the great protector of the peoples of Asia, Swearingen said. Russia is heading the democratic movement all over the world and is interested only in settling questions peacefully. That, at least, is the position that the Soviet dele-
gation has taken during the UN sessions, he said.
Swearingen said that one of the
\
Soviet’s mam techniques for delaying is that of never limiting debate to a specific issue. Branch oat and discuss anything taht will reflect good for the Soviet and hurt the US. no matter how irrelevant the material.
Cite the Potsdam agreement and the Cairo declaration to support a specific policy and make it appear that the U.S. has broken tliese agreements, he told the group.
Strict adherence to these agreements when it suits the Russian purposes has been their policy.
Drew out the debates and negotiation, for this is usually irritable to the Western powers, Swearingen advised. Exhaust your opponent by bringing in anything and everything, he said.
Foreign Sources Quoted
The Soviet delegation in the UN has always made great use of foreign sources of material, both Communist and non-Communist. he pointed out. The Russians have used dispatches from the Korean Central-Telegram or quoted the Nerw York Times on conditions in Japan or Indo-China.
This technique has always made |n kA jnno CO+a it possible for the Soviet to modify ! 111 fT1M 11	1 a

“The issue is an improved version of the New Yorker,” Associate Editor Allyn Hunt modestly said. “The entire contents, including illustrations, are new, for the first time since Guttenberg.
Circulation Manager Jack Owen said that advance sales, including IFC underwriting, so far exceeds 1600 copies and that he anticipates a sell-out of the issue.
“Look out for a novel type of sales booth,” warned Jim Paul, associate circulation manager. They’ve been designed by advanced architecture students to resemble pre-historic out-houses. They'll be the only things about Wampus that aren’t modem.”
The Wampus girl selected by Clifton Webb will be interviewed on tomorrow's midnight Hawthorne radio show. Arthur revealed Hawthorne has invited SC students to the broadcast from the CBS studios in Hollywood. No tickets are needed.
Features in the new Wamp include the controversial picture story on UCLA entitled “Twenty Thousand Students Under the ‘C\” a running campus commentary “On the Avenue.” “Ramona’s SCarlet Letter,” and a number of others.'
Minor sports are given photographic coverage with emphasis on Trojan entrants in the summer Olympiad.
“Jacks rope jumping, and yo-yo contestants are included in Wampus' claim for a clean Trojan sweep, if the contestants take the right boat to Finland." Arthur chortled.
John Lathrop former Trojan who transferred to the Westwood hill* this year, challenged the Wampus presentation of UCLA as "disgraceful’’ He telephoned the DT claiming that the advance copy of the magazine that he had seen pictured his new alma mammy as the remnants of a prehistoric civilization.
“The explorer’s photograph looks suspiciously like an instructor I had two years ago,” said Lathrop.
“The fellow Lathrop thinks is an instructor is a handsome devil, all right, but he must be mistaken.’’ replied Arthmur in a casual, off-the-cuff manner. People at UCLA must be forgiven for many things.'*
