STEIGERWALT TROUNCES OPPOSITION TO CAPTURE ASSC PRESIDENTIAL POST
COING DOV/N. PLEASE
Ending of Inflation Said to Be in Sight
We have proven that inflation, while rpmaining a major long-ranse problem, can be curbed Pnd we have made remarkable progress toward this objective durine the past year.
This was the declaration of Dr. Arthur F. Bums of New York City, former chairman of President Eisenhower’s Council of Economic Advisers, when he spoke at the third annual formal dinner of Commerce Associates of SC's School of Business Ariminislration last night.
Speak ins before 200 businessmen who are SC graduates or friends of ihe Business School, Dr. Burns told of the “chronic problem of inflation.” warning that while a sound dollar promoles economic progress, it «lone will not suffice to assure 8 satisfactory rate of progress. Soviet Growth T'nsettling The professor of economics at Columbia also warned his audience that the growth of Soviet economic power can prove a seriously unsettling factor because the Russian economy, while not growing as rapidly as Soviet propaganda suggests, is I growing more rapidly than ours, j Members of the Commerce Associates, one of the eight sup- I
■ port groups for SC's professional | schools and contributors of SI00 I each per year to academic programs at SC, listened to Dr. Burns tell of the U.S. competi-] tion with Russia with an emphasis on the problem of inflation.
“A year ago it was widely be-j lieved that the forces making ! for inflation in our country were i much too strong to be chocked j in the near future.” he said.
Practiced Inflation “The reasons for this belief seemed clear and compelling,”
' h° added. “With minor interrup-| tions our nation had practiced inflation for a generation and it appeared that we were still continuing to do so.”
“The course of recent events demonstrates that while the forces making for inflation are strong in our times, they can be brought under control if public and private polices are directed resolutely toward this objective,” he reasoned.
Dr. Burns said that it was fortunate that the fears or hopes j of inflation have now subsided. ■ Strengthened Confidence “The confidence of investors— both domestic and foreign -— in ! our nation's ability to pursue
Othello to Be Carried Over SC Air Waves
Th» critically-acclaimed SC production of Guiseppi Verdi's “Olhello” will be reproduced tonight and Sunday as Dr. Walter Ducloux direcls a cast of 11 singers, the SC Opera Chorus and Symphony Orchestra in a performance of the four-act opera.
KUSC-FM has announced that It will present its first live opera broadcast at R p.m. when the opera is sung in Bovard Auditorium.
In addition, the station has scheduled three interviews with Dr. Ducloux to he aired during the three intermission breaks. They concern the opeia’s background. some of the works of contemporary opera composers and some of the interesting sidelights of -Othello.”
The opera will be sung in English in a new adaptation o' the original Arrigo Boito text written especially fcr the product-on by Dr. Ducloux. head of the opera and conducting departments.
A group of 150 students will stage the performance with Rav Arbizu playing the principal role' cf the famed Moor of Venice.
Alternating with th? role of Jago will be James Gibbons and French Tickner. Keith Wyatt will he Cassio.
Additional players will be Erena Chillingarian, Desdemona; Sharon Bliss and Violet Mac-Mahon, alternate Emilia: Rudolph Vejar. Rodrigo; Orivlle White, Lodevico; James Ivnnee, Montano; and Ben Bollinger, heiaid.
I wise financial policies has been greatly strengthened, and there are fewer misgivings today about the dollar being the strongest currency in the world,” he declared.
"But there is always a tendency for public sentiment to oscillate from one extreme to another,” he added.
He pointed out that of late, Ihe opinion has repeatedly been voiced that inflation has been stopped and that we need no longer be concerned about it.
“This, I think, is probably true of the immediate future,” he prophesized.
Restriction Unecessary “Highly restrictive credit policies have served their purpose,” he declared. “For the time being. they are no longer necessary and there are already signs of some relaxation.”
“However, ihe problem of inflation is and will remain a serious long-range problem of our economy,” he said. Looking at the United States’ chief economic rival, the Columbia economist told his audience that the growth of Soviet economic power can prove serious but that in time, as the Russian economy in- I creases in size, the rate of growth will diminish appreciably.
“However, this may not happen soon enough to bring comfort,” he warned.
Misleading Stability “The stability of our vocabulary can mislead us,” he explained. “We keep speaking of capitalism. socialism and communism, but the reality that these terms are intended to denote keeps changing.”
lie said that from what he could learn, the Russians have in recent years been very methodical in creating large income inequalities.
“In particular they reward handsomely their manager, scientists. teachers and the more skilled factory workers,” he said.
"But while they have been devising special incentives to spur productivity, thereby adopting the practices of our older capitalism, we have adopted a tax system that weakens the incentive to create and produce,” he exolained.
THE WINNERS' CIRCLE - ASSC President Bill Steiqerwalt is backed by Ken Unmacht, senior class president; Marianne Arrington, runoff fcr ASSC vice president; Tim Clark,
social studies senator; Hugh Helm, business senator; Nancy Deutz, dentistry senator; Ron Sherman, business senator; and M'ke Robinson, communications senator.
Rittenberg Sees Removal Of Nicotine From Tobacco
The possibility of removing I nicotine from tobacco was discussed last night at the 27th An- | nual Graduate School dinner and lecture by Dr. Sydney C. Ritten- j berg, professor of bacteriology. !
Just before Dr. Rittenberg spoke, Graduate School Dean Milton Kloetzel announced that Dr. William H. Werkmeister. director of the SC School of Philosophy, will be next year’s re- ; search lecturer.
Dr. Werkmeister said that he would speak on “Value Theory and the Problem of Obligation: A New Approach.” The philosopher has directed the SC school since 1954, a year after he joined the faculty.
Guest Lecturer
He has also been a guest lecturer at the universities of Bonn, C o 1 o g n e , Gliessen, Hamburg. Koenigsberg, Jena, Leipzig and Munich.
The philosopher is also the editor of the 40th anniversary issue of the Personalist, and author of several well-received philosophy books.
Speaking at the 27th annual
Vital Resource Conservation Issues Will Be D iscussed at Conference
research lecture, Dr. Rittenberg explained lhat after five years of study of the breakdown of nicotine by bacteria, five molecules. new to organic chemistry, have been produced.
Dr. Rittenberg said lhat his research might eventually result in the ability to remove nicotine from tobacco with enzymes which control all metabolism.
Denlcotl/ation
“Think what Madi«on Avenue could do w-ith the slogan, ‘our tobacco has been denieotini>°d as nature intended without the use of harsh chemical’,” he said.
He added in a serious vein, that there may he medical implications to his research.
“Preliminary tests suggest a slight effect aeainst tuberculosis for one comoound,” he said.
Dr. Rittenberg said that Vitamin K. involved in blood clotting, works well in the oxidation of nicot'no in laboratory experiments, but where this clue will lead is .c,i,l unknown.
Nicotine Effects
“Nicotine has marked phwsi-ological effects on higher animals including humans and can be metabolized by certain animal tissues like the liver,” he declared.
'‘Some of the products of nicotine breakdown in the bodv mav actually he responsible for the effect« of nicotine,” the researcher said. ‘‘Some of the products of its breakdown could even cause cancer, although I suer>ect not.”
Dr. Rittenbere added that In any case it is not unlikely that j human tissues and bacteria follow common pathways in nicotine breakdown and if we find the path and uncover the molecules w'e can test them for their effects.
He said lhat lie had first become interested in nicoline me- '
I tabolism when he saw a bright blue color in a culture isolated j by an undergraduate student as a class project.
The same color has shown up in one of the new compounds resultingf from his research on the chain of chemical reactions through wdiich nicotine goes in serving as food for some cell.
“We have isolated this pigment in what we think is a pure state, working all last summer to get 30 milligrams of the material.” h** said.
Marx Policies Going Strong
Marxism influence in the Soviet Union will be analyzed today when Paul F. Langer, professor of history and international relations, tells of the “likely trend that Russia may take for its economic theory.”
Professor Langer will speak to .the Graduate students and faculty meeting at 12:05 p.m. in the Episcopal Center.
“This is a continuation of a series on current political ideologies,” Michael Hamilton, Episcopal Chaplain, said. “Langer is an expert in this field.” He will be available for questions after the discussion.
Professor Langer will tell of Ihe Marxism influence on current Soviet planners and will analyze the Soviet Union’s cur- ¡ rent policies in relation to ; Marx's theories.
‘‘The process continues as new social, political and economic factors emerge and challenge of ] support the truth of Marx’s j theory of dialectical materialism,” Chaplain Hamilton said.
