Young Stars Will Appear In Carousel
By JOB COCRTEMAXCHE
“There’s so much talent in this here show,” the wise old Yankee cop said yesterday, “that I'm amazed they found it all at SC.”
Well, he wasn't really a Yankee cop — just Robert Pierik who plays the role in “Carousel.” But the observation about the cast of the musical which opens in Bovard Auditorium tomorrow night was as accurate as any that have come out of the East within recall.
Lead Players Starling in the production are Marilyn Kates. Rudy Vejar. Sharon . Bliss, Melissa Murphy, Richard Miailovich, John Win-naman, Helen Campus and Tom | Costello.
Marilyn Kates, “Carousel's” Julie Jordan, is a charming, dark-haired young sophomore, majoring in music education. While a student at North Holly-wood High School, she appeared as Ado Annie in a production of “Oklahoma.”'
Agreeable Lady “Quite a contrast from Julie,” she said yesterday, and she does seem more the sweet Yankee miss type than the girl who “cain’t say no.”
“The people in the show are marvelous — they’re so talented that they help me along,” she said. She has a great deal of talent herself, possibly derived from her musically proficient
Truth Poses Problem To Philosophy Forum
Man Merits Wisdom By Searching for It
When man fails to seek the . truth, he cannot demand the truth from others, declared Dr. William S. Snyder, assistant professor of philosophy, at yesterday's Philosophy Forum.
Speaking in the second of the Forum’s “Six Experiments in Vaule Conflicts,” Dr. Snyder explained two scenes from Samuel Taylor’s “The Happy Time.” as an example of an authority asking for truth when he is morally incompetent to do so.
“Truth telling is not an absolute duty,” he asserted. "Men earn the right by virtue of their anions to be treated as members of a moral community.”
The scenes, enacted by ad- j vanced drama students, depicted
Dr. Snyder further explained the implications of the idea that an individual must seek for the truth.
He said that he had pointed out the far more complicated problem than the situation which appears superficially in Ribi's problem of to tell the truth or lie.
Dr. Snyder showed that in a idealistic moral community there is no need to seek for th*» truth since the truth is already established.
“I do not think that we are bound to act as if the moral community now exists,” he said. “Rather all we can he asked to do is (1) to attempt to mold’our own life in a manner deserving

Students had varied opinions todav over the Friday execution of Caryl Chessman, red-light bandit who has been fighting Death Row for the last 11 \oars.
When Governor Edmund G. (Pat* Brown denied a permanent stay of execution or the convict-writer, it started a fury of explanation and discussion over whether or not Chessman should finally be put to death.
Many ¿students said they did not believe in capital punishment while others agreed that the delay between the crime and punishment had been too long to warrant execution.
