UCLA, Troy Examine PE
UCLA officials are currently discussing ihe abolition of physical education on thp Westwood camnus. although thp ma’oritv P.niin students may wish to continue the PF3 program.
The contemplated termination of physic?! education was not promoted bv 1 he studenis. Rather. it has been recommended by 1wo university committees, the Educational Policies Committee and 1 he Chancellor's Planning C^mmitiee.
P.cn Miller, chairman of UCLA's PE department, said a stir\»v of students revealed that most of the 3150 interviewed were in favor of continuing physical education at their university.
Although SC has not had any radical suggestions to terminate physical education as UCLA has, the ASSC Senate proposed a resolution to the administration last Wednesday urging the aboli-t inn of physical education grades.
Calls 1(1.A Wrong Senator Gary Dubin. who proposed the student government's resolution to do away with physical education grades, strongly believes that “UCLA is wrong— | dead wrong.”
Dubin thinks the answer to the PE controversy is “to take «way the academic credit from physical education activity courses so that thev will not be blended in with the academic program of the university."
Currently, these grades contradict the aims and objectives of- higher education bv maintaining an exalled position out of higher education bv? main-the pursuit of academic excellence, he said.
Should he Extra Dubin believes that “physical education activity course? should be relegated 1o an extracurricular activity, but not discredited since their value to a university community is as great as that of academic pursuits.’ However. UCLA is considering two factors — cost and credit hours consumed in nhvsical education which mieht be better used in other suhieels.
Dubin poinls out that eliminating PE grades would also eliminate the two problems considered by UCLA.

under two conditions —students should not have their academic calendar burdened with PE courses, nor should they be required to count them in with other academic grade units,” he savs.
Dubin believes students would have a greater interest and more aooreciative attitude toward physical education courses if they did not interfere with grade - point averages and if thev did not cost tuition fees.
Neither the recommendation to eliminate PE grades at SC nor the move to abolish nhvsical education entirely at UCLA will affect the ROTC n>x>grams of the respective schools.
There h*«; also been no official word from the administrations of the universities as to measures ta^en to enact or defeat the PE proposals.

The problems of science and man may be at odds, said Dr. William H. Werkmeister yesterday in his talk on “Science and th® Problem of Man.”
The director of the SC School of Philosophy noted that although there is a definite connection between improved scieptific practices and discoveries which allow medical, industrial and social progress, there is also a connection between scientific progress and the missiles and rockets wl^ich threaten to destroy mankind.
Science Is Universal
“Science has created these new and unparalleled threats to the existence of man himself,” sa;d D”. Werkmeister.
Dr. Werkmeister pointed out that science — and its threat
is universal in that the “truths pf science are the same the world over, whether the scientist soe^ks English. Chinese or Russian.”
Unifying Force
It must be realised that the laws of natu'e are no respectors oi national boundaries, he said.
Speaking further of science as a social - political factor, h« noted. “Science could be a great unifying force, encompassing all man.”
The philosopher made it clear that it is up to man to decide the respective merits of the constructive and destructive ends of scientific endeavor.
Solution in Values
“The solution 1o the problem lies in the field of human values.” he stated. “It is a problem of change in man's stature and place in the world.
“Any well - constructed scientific law must have three divisions, he said. First, it must have a bodv of definitions and postulates. Second, it must have a backing of theories and laws. Third, it must have a set of laws of logic to govern the entire procedure.”
Artist Pla ns Nature Talk
“What Became of Nature?” will he the subject of a talk by , Arthur Millier, former art cdi- | tor of the LA Times, today at noon in 102 Harris.
Miliier, who was the Times art editor for 32 years, is widely known for his etchings.
The lecture is the sixth in s weekly series sponsored by Kap- | pa Pi, honorary fine arts fraternity.

Honor Group To Recognize Top Scholars
More than 100 freshman and i sophomore students will be hon- i nred at a banquet tomorrow7 ni^ht as Phi Beta Kappa, na- j tional scholastic honorary soci- . etv, recognizes them for high scholastic standing in the lower classes.
The recognition dinner, to be h^ld in Town and Gown Foyer at fi:15 p.m., is a new project initiated by the group to encourage ; scholarship.
“We believe that in order to promote an intellectual atmos- i phere in the university, we must ! begin to emphasize the importance of scholastic achievement | in the lower division. Dr. Tlieo- j dore Chen, president of the local Phi Beta Kappa chapter, said, j Honored Now
The president believes that instead of waiting until the senior j year to admit outstanding stu- i dents to honor societies, lower I division students should be encouraged to give their best effort in intellectual pursuits.
Students who will be attend- , ing the banquet have at least a 3..) grade average for their first semester of college work, while sophomore students have attained this average in each of the I last three semesters.
Good Support
“I am glad to say that our project has received the full support of the administration,’’ j Dr. Chen said.
He added that President Nor- ; man Topping and LAS Dean Tracy E. Strevey will attend the banquet, with Dr. Strevey delivering the main address.
Musical entertainment will be provided hv soloists from the School of Music.
Emphasizes tirades
“Our purpose in giving this recognition is not merely to honor the 110 students of outstanding record but also to impress on the whole student body the new emphasis which this university is giving to scholastic achievement,” Dr. Chen explained.
He pointed out that the dinner will hopor outstanding students in the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and the Schools of Architecture, Business, Engineering and Music.
Names of the students being recognized will appear on a specially printed program.
Semester Fees To Total $500
SC students will have to dig deeper into their pockete to pay two dollars more per unit next September.
Ait official university announcement today stated that students taking between 14 and 18 units, inclusive, will now have to pay a new flat rate of $500 per semester,

Mysterious Bookie Rates Mr. Trojanality Contestants
By HAL DRAKE
Unofficial handicaps published by a mysterious “bookie” are the latest developments in a tight Mr. Trojanality race that saw Bill Steigerwalt and Vince Stefano overtake Jerry Sherman and Davvg at the close of yesterday’s balloting.
Sharon Kelly, chairman of the Mr. Trojanality section, said that the intense competition in the two-dav old race has spurred hopes of surpassing the contest’s $2000 goal.
Sparking Unusualit.v
In the meantime, unknown gamblers are circulating an unsigned handicap w'hich lists front-runner Vince Stefano at odds of 20 to 1 to win the contest, the highest odds offered on any of the 14 men listed.
Another highlight of the annual Troy Chest drive begins today with a pie-throwing contest in front of the Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity. Campus leaders and
personalities will pose before a barrage of 150 pies that will be auctioned off to willing sharpshooters.
“This year’s Mr. Trojanality drive is sparking some of the most unusual stunts seen in years,” Miss Kelly said.
Van Wert in Second
“Votes, which sell for only 5 cents each, account for an important portion of the all-university goal of 55000,” she explained.
At the close of yesterday’s poll, Jerry Van W;ert was holding on to second place; Buddy
the liveliest in years.
Jerry Sherman became an early favorite by picking up a stray dog for a running mate.
Jerry Van Wrert rose to sec-» ond place by posting a new picture in the voting area each day —pictures that, to date, have included everything but his own face and a Marilyn Monroe calendar.
Work for Votes
But the race—and the stunts —are far from over.
Alpha Gamma Delta is spon- < soring a car wash today from 1 to 4 p.m. to boost votes for their candidate, Bill O’Brien. >
Farnan was in third; and Mon- | Seventy-five cents for cars and
day’s leader, Jerry Sherman and Dawg, were clinging to fourth place paced by M. McKeever in fifth.
So far, no posters have appeared to boost candidates, instead, a series of off-beat stunts have made this year’s race for the Trojanality trophy one of
25 cents for bikes will be charged to buy votes before the contest closes.
Probably due to this unexpected wave of shenanigans, the present candidate standings are almost completely opposite from the unofficial handicap predictions.

Some two thousand eight hundred and twenty-seven students have until 5 p.m. today to be \ represented on the ASSC Senate next year.
When Elections Director Ed- | die Tannenbaum checked the petitions yesterday, he found that students from only eight major fields had applied for seats in the Senate.
This leaves 11 fields out of next year’s Senate.
Although 6 of these fields have already been eliminated , from recognition for not submit- j ting constitutions, there are 5 fields, numbering 1160 students, j which have been officially recognized by the Executive Cabinet. j Rate Six Senators
These officially recognized fields including biological sciences, dentistry, physical sciences and math, music and public administration are entitled to a total of six Senators. However, j not one of the 1160 students involved appear to be concerned enough to represent their class- ' mates at W’eekly Senate meet- i ings.
Tanenbaum said students have until 5 p.m. today to file the petitions in 215 SU.
Business Leads
Of the eight fields which have candidates running for Senator j at the ASSC elections on March 30-31, the School of Business leads with 17 candidates.
The Business School is the largest field of study, and is entitled to seven Senators.
The fields of architecture, communications, health, PE and
will increase their pay-1 ments $40 per year over the previous total of $960.
SC officials said they hoped this would encourage more students to register fulltime and ! take more units at no added | cost.
The former rate of $30 per unit for undergraduates taking : more than six units had been in ■ effect for the past two years at 1 SC.
The old rate of $25 per unit for six units or less has also been eliminated. The new' rate will now be $32 for students taking 1 to 13 units. Graduate students who have paid $28 per unit for their courses and $30 for undergraduate classes, if taking more than six units, will also be charger» $32 per unit. Professional Fees Flat fees of some professional schools will also be increased. Dental Hygieni and Law Schools | will raise their tuition from $425 to 5500.
Dentistry will go from $450 I to $500. Students enrolled in the ! professional Law School’s night classes will now be paying a flat | fee of $340 rather than the former rate of $280 per semester. The flat fees will also be ’ raised from $240 to $300 in li-J brary science, from $550 to 5600 ; in medicine, from 5475 to 5500 I in pharmacy and from $310 to $400 in social work.
List Causes SC officials listed three reasons for the tuition increases:
(1)	Provide higher faculty salaries.
(2)	Add distinguished professorships and lectureships.
(3)	Meet continually rising costs of higher education.
Last year SC’s tuition fees ranked low' relative to other private colleges and universities in the United States, SC officials report.
With a rate of $960 per year for the student carrying the average load of 16 units per semester. SC had one of the iow-
therapv, each with a quota of est tuition fees in the country one Senator have had one stu- f°r private institutions.

War Against Conformists' To Continue
Continuing his week-If*ng attack on student conformity. Dr.

During the session, w’hich will be open to all students. Dr. i Sleeth will answer questions j arising from his defense of re-| ligious freedom.
For the past several days, Dr. Sleeth has told students and faculty members that only by seeking God can man achieve hi3 search for freedom.
In fireside meetings on the Row and major addresses at the university. Dr. Sleeth has claimed that man cannot be free until he separates himself from "the herd.”

These students are currently running unopposed. If any of them are ruled ineligible, the field may be without representation on the Senate next year.
In Precarious Spot
The fields of engineering and humanities are both in the same precarious spot that presently faces these other fields. Engineering may have four Senators, and four students have submitted petitions. Humanities, allowed two Senators, has only two petitions filed for Senate positions.
The field of social studies is in worse danger. Allowed five Senators, the field has only submitted four petitions thus far.
Pharmacy students, alloted two Senators, may have a choice of four names if all the candidates who have filed petitions remain eligible.
Lawmakers Plan Break
ASSC President Wally Kara-bian has announced that there will be no Senate meeting tonight.
Tonight will mark the first Wednesday evening in five months that the Senate Chambers will not be occupied by the SC student legislature.
Karabian said the meeting will not be held because no legislation has been given to the Rules Committee for clearance. Consequently, the Senate has no proposals to consider.
