WiII Address |||
Faculty Group
Paul Ziffren. chairman of the California Convention Committee for the I960 Democratic National Convention, will address the Faculty Club today on "The Convention system: Its Pros and Cons.”
Ziffren, one of the state's top political figures, will l>e,the featured speaker of the group at its weekly luncheon meeting at 11:45 in the Commons dining room.	,
“He is credited, more 1han any one person, with the revival of pulitica 1 power in the Democratic party during the last ten years,” said Dr. Tot ton J. Anderson, head of the SC political science department.
Formidable Opponent In Republican ranks Ziffren is looked upon as a “formidable opponent," he added.
Ziffren is a member of Ihe Executive 'Committee of Ihe Democratic National Commitiee and a member of the Advisory Council to the Democratic National Committee.
Working with other top Democrats, Ziffren helped push the Democrats forward in California by setting up the California Democratic Council 1o give candidates pre-primary endorsement.
Political I„e\erage
Under state law the official party organization cannot make pre-primary endorsements. However, the Republicans, through the Republican controlled Assembly, can make pre-primary endorsements and thus gain political leverage, said Dr. Anderson.
Ziffren's work in organizing Ihe extra-legal Democratic body paid off in the 1958 eleclion which "broke" the period of Republican ascendancy in California politics that had remained virtually unchallenged during the first half of the century,” the professor |>ointed out.
Sophisticated Politician
Ziffren, dubbed "art urbane, sophisticated gentleman - politician” by Dr. Anderson, is also n practicing lawyer and has been admitted to practice before the Supreme Court.
As the Democratic National Committeeman for California, he was instrumental in bringing t lie Democratic convention to I^os Angeles this year. It will be held at the Sports Arena July 11.
The Republican convention will be held in Chicago July 25.
lender Attack
The one-ev ery-four-years convention themselves have come under severe attack during the past quarter of a century, said Dr. Anderson.
The criticism has become intensified during the last decade due to the fact that the job the convention performs is mostly surrounded by hoopla, cheering, fanfare anti political frufru, he pointed out.
"The actual convention activity of naming the party’s presidential nominee could be easily accomplished in a day and a half, rather than the four or five

Topping Warns of Danger In Technological Explosion
President Norman Topping ha asked a group of college administrators to help forward the cause of thought and knowledge in this age of technological and communicative explosion.
Speaking before the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers recently, the SC president cited jthe need for calm, deliberate, i contemplative thought amid the | confusion of the 1960’s.
I am convinced that only by the process of real thinking will we solve our problems. My con-
Musical Work Spans Country
This is an eventful week for Dr. Halsey Stevens, head of the composition department of the SC School of Music, as performances of his music are scheduler! in widely scattered sections of the country.
Yesterday Dr. Stevens flew 1o Santa Barbara to attend the piano recital of Shirley Munger, who gave the first performance of his “Ritratti.”
The three movements of this work, completed last month, employ musical themes from Italian paintings: Pontormo's "Portrait of a Musician,” Domenichino’s “St Cecelia" and Carpaccio's “St. Anthony Visited by St. Jerome."
Composes Variety
The composer has derived an intrada. an arietla and a theme with four variations for the piece.
Today at Stetson University j in Deland. Fla., Don Waldrop and Martine Sellers will give the first performance of Dr. Stevens’ Sonatina for Bass Tuba and Piano, completed in January.
On Friday Dr. Stevens will go to San Jose State College to p;rticipate in a discussion incon-participate in a discussion in j connection with the annual Festival of Contemporary Music.
Evening Recitals
Friday evening two of his or- ; chestral works will be performed j as a part «of the festival. They will he Five Pieces for Orchestra. composed in 1958, and “Sin-fonh Breve.” composed in 1.957.
The same evening his Sonatina No. three will be played in Pittsburgh bv Eugene and Natalie Phillips.
Seniors Plan Class Prom
A meeting; of the senior class " ill be hell today to decide on ■ inal plans for the senior prom and luncheon.
The meeting, to be held at 6 n.m. at the Theta Xi house, 728 \\. 2Sth st.. will allow a final discussion of the prom and luncheon by the whole senior council, said Davie Barnes, senior class president.
The senior class prom will be held on April 30 at the Deauville 1 Country Club in Santa Monica from 8:30 until 12:30 p.m. Music by the Dave Pell Octet will be featured.
Current arrangements for the ! senior class luncheon have set I the date for just before commencement exercises in Town and Gown Foyer.
cern is that the plethora of communications may be hindering contemplative thought,” he said.
Warning that the ever-increasing number of college applicants will reach an all-time high by 1970, Dr. Topping labeled as “dangerous” the growing mechanization of admission processes.
“We must resist the temptation to base our decisions on all I (applicants) via the data-pro-cessing machines,” he said.
The educator expressed his fear that the IBM process will be of. greatest harm to the middle group of studenls, those whose transcripts are neither exceptionally outstanding nor exceptionally poor.
“There is no tabulation yet devised which yields a real index to motivation, to ambition, to potential." he explained.
Dr. Topping charged that Thoreau’s 1erm of "quiet desperation" would have to be altered to "frenzied, thundering desperation” in order to describe our present age of emphasis on rapidity.
Quoting Dr. Albert Schweitzer, Dr. Topping said, "Man has learned to control the forces of nature before he has learned to control himself.”
The administrator argued that Ihe increasing use of “brainstorming” sessions deters productivity and clear thinking.
“While the things which we
Squires Schedule Interview Session

Dr. Topping asked that basic goals be discovered before plunging into life’s dizzying rush.
“Unless we know for certain where we are going and why we at going there, the road we take is of no consequence — nor does it matter what vehicle we choose to travel in,” he said.
Again stressing the rapid pace of modern civilization. Dr. Topping warned that the importance of rapid decisions has increased with the need for making them .

A $500 scholarship is curren?-ly being offered by the Public Relations Society of America to SC juniors majoring in public relations.
Interested applicants should submit their names, addresses and phone number to the journ-nalism office, 423 SU.
Students will be interviewed by officials and committeemen of the Los Angeles chapter of PRSA beginning at 1:30 p.m. on April 28.

In addition to schools in Southern California, students representing such areas as Sacramento, Santa Clara and Red Bluff have applied for the annual journalism scholarships.
For President
Adlai Stevenson is still in the running «for the 1960 Democratic presidential nomination in the opinion of members of the Trojan Democratic Club.
An unofficial poll of the club members taken yesterday showed the twice-defeated presidential candidate was still favored ! by many to run again for the 1 top spot.
Two Tied
Stevenson tied with Senator John Kennedy in the survey, which asked members to list their personal choices for the presidential candidate to represent their party in the November elections.
Recent reports from political analysts have classed Stevenson as “out of the running” for the Democratic nomination. Even the Las Vegas gambling set has refused to offer odds on the ex-Illinois governor.
Young Explains
The contrary results of this survey aided by a professional attitude were explained by Larry Young, president of the Young Democrats Club.
“Stevenson is still very popular at the grass-roots of the party,” he said. “Petitions have even been circulated to draft him for the nomination.”
Professional analysts base their decisions on the fact that the Democrats will be afraid to run a man who has already been defeated twice.
Others point out, however, that nobody could have defeated Eisenhower in 1952 and 1936.
Three Other Choices
California Gov ernor “P a t” i Brown, Senator Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey were also prominently mentioned as favorite choices.
Governor Brown received the next highest total of votes, although members felt the capital punishment issue had impaired his general popularity.
In expressing their views, Stevenson backers described him as “a capable leader,” while those favoring Kennedy felt the senator from Massachusetts w'ould contribute to “better international understanding.”
Johnson Responsible
Others said Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson would be better able to solve the civil rights problem, since he is himself a Southerner. They felt his actions as Democratic leader in the Senate prove he will make a “responsible president.”
Hubert Humphrey was the choice of other members because, they said, he is “personable,” “forward looking” and “a good speaker.”
The five favorites garnered the following percentages of the group’s votes: Stevenson. 32 per cent; Kennedy, 32 per cent; Brown, 17 per cent; Johnson, 12.5 per cent; Humphrey, 6.25 per cent.
Tickets for Songfest 1960. to he held at the Hollywood Bowl May 14, are selling rapidly, reports Mary Hamilton, Songfest ticket chairman.
The annual musical event's tickets went on sale at the Student' Union ticket office Monday and will be sold until the night of the performance. Mail order tickets may also be purchased at the same prices by sending cash or check to the university ticket office.

Survey Shows Trojans Want Change in PE
Physical education should not

“Physical Education—Yes or No?” is currently finding advocates on both sides of the controversial fence.

It is also important to note that the committee studied PE practices in ojher accredited schools of business and found the trend to be a restriction of i physical education courses in j the more progressive schools, Dr. Myers said.

Ticket Sale Begins Now For Caesar'
Tickets will go on sale today at both the Bovard box office and the university ticket office for William Shakespeare's “Julius Caesar.”
The play will be performed in Bovard Auditorium. April 28, 29 and 30 and May 6 and 7 at 8:30 p.m. There will also be a matinee on May 7 at 2:30.
Dr. Herbert M. Stahl, director of the play, said that “although the type of play ‘Caesar’ is and the type of playhouse for which it was written differ in many ways from the drama and theater of today, Shakespeare’s tragedy is as timely today as in the bard's time or anytime in history as far as that is concerned.”
John E. Blankenchip has designed the sets to retain some of the essential characteristics of Elizabethan staging, he points out.
The cast will feature Harold Dyrenforth as Brutus, who was seen as the general in last season’s production of “Waltz of the Toreadors.”
Norman Lofland will portray Caesar. Tom Costello, who recently played the title role in “Finnegans Wake," and Melissa Murphy, as Carrie in the production of “Carousel,” will also star.
Newcomers to the Bovard stage will be Fred Gavlir a« Caius Cassius, John Gregory as Marcus Antonius, Ed Carnes as Cinna, the poet, and Donna Lewis as Calpurnia.
