“The United States and Turkey/' their relations, ideals and histories/ were discussed yesterday by Dr. Lewis V. Thomas, Princeton professor visiting the SC Summer Session.
During the Faculty Club Luncheon Lecture, Dr. Thomas told of the importance of a friendly relationship between the United States and Turkey and explained the situation as it is today.
A regular teacher at Princeton during the fall-spring school year, Dr. Thomas came to SC
this summer to teach two courses — a job which he deemed as “pleasant work.*’
His knowledge of Turkey has resulted in a publication of several articles including “Turkey: Guardian of the straits,” and “Turkey: Partner of the West.” He is also the co-author of “U.S. on Turkey and Iran.”
Dr. Thomas* received his BA i and MA at the University of Chicago, and his PhD from the University of Brussels.
Following this he lived and taught in the Middle East. He voiced his opinions on the Middle East during a Monday lecture on “Contemporary American Policy Towards Iraq.”
Dr. Thomas told of its history, its land and its traditions as well as Iraq’s direct relationship with the U.S.
A complete picture of Iraq— its present status in the Middle East as a leading Arab state and is important role in the modern world — was given by the visiting professor.
Next Wednesday, Francis Tappaan, SC*s new vice president for Student and Alumni affairs will speak before the Faculty Club. It will be the fourth lecture in the summer series.
Lecture Reflects on Western Professor'
Dr. Bruce R. McElderry Jr., professor of English Language and Literature at SC. looked over his lecture notes, then at the ceiling and finally at a book of prose lyin^ on his desk.
“Lets face one fact/' he said. “J. Ross Browne is not
-a major writer. But he is an interesting writer because of the variety of his experience, t h j freshness of his interest in everything he saw and the energy of his language.”
This is the “Professor” Browne Dr. McElderry will discuss today in his lecture on J. Ross Browne: Professor of Melville and Twain,” at 3:15, 129 FH. Nearly a Genius ”Browne is the typical man of talent, who has everything but the peculiar genius which makes men able to achieve a kind of immortality,” explained Dr. McElderry.
The complete history of the “Forgotten” man and his works will be discussed in Dr. McEI-derry’s lecture.
“J. Ross Browne was an Irish-born journalist who spent his youth in Louisville, Kentucky in. the 18308/' he said. “While Twain was still a child, Browne flat boated to New Orleans and
then explored Texas.”

FINAL TOUCHES —Two members of the Summer Drama Workshop's designing crew prepare the Bovard Auditorium stage for
next Thursday's premiere of Lewis John Carlino's original play, “Dark Harvest." Tickets are now on sale for the production.
Harvest Shoots Into Bovard Aud.
The fiery world of the Zapata revolution—emphasized through the loves and loyalties of a village of Mexican peasants—will come to Bovard Auditorium next Thursday night.
It will come in the form of an original play by Lewis Carlino, “Dark Harvest.” Tickets are on sell now, curtain time is 8:30 p.m.
Through the eyes of author Carlino, “Dark Harvest” shows how the revolution restructures a Mexican village, turning friends into enemies, even brother against brother.
To get the necessary realistic effect, Carlino has written his play in Spanish. He then translated it into English, preserving the Spanish-Indian influence and freeing himself from the stereotyped English-speaking Spanish language.
For the world premiere of Carlino’s professional play, the SC Department of Drama has assembled an experienced and award-winning cast.
According to the 14-man cast, Carlino’s play is from beginning to end, a triumph.
Paul Comi performs as Tomas Ramirez. He is a member of the National Collegiate Players, a national honorary dramatic fraternity and is an experienced performer of numerous motion pictures including “The Young Lions;** “Pork Chop Hill;” “In Love and War;” and “Warlock.”
He has won the Best Actor Award in Drama for three consecutive years.
