Old Testament To Be Subject Sunday Morn
J)r. Charles S. McCoy. professor at tiie Pacific School ol Re-
rio
Br
dey, will preach at
tiie non-denoniinaiionai Christian worship service in Bovard Auditorium at 11 a.m. this Sunday.
His subject, “In the Light <»f the Cross,” will investigate the revelations oi God as explained in the old Testament.
“Charles A. Beard once said that one of tne main lessons he had learned Ironi his greal study of history was this: wnen it gets dark, the stis come out, said Dr. McCoy.
Traditional Message
“Certainly the Biblical and Christian tradition illustrates tilts message which is written so large in human history, yet illustrates it on a deeper level,” he added.
Dr. McCoy said that the faith of the Old Testament proclaims that the greatest revelations ol God occur not in times of triumph and success but in times of lailuie and tragedy.
“We discover the high im»ini of Hebrew laith emerging alter the degradation of national destruction and during the captivity in Babylon," he continued.
J>r. McCoy said that he would tell the Sunday worship group that the New Tesiament carries forward this notion.
Darkest .Moment
“The darkest moment in the career of Jesus, his crucifixion, liecomes the occasion for the blinding revelation of God's redeeming action in history,” he said.
He explained that Martin Luther discovered the'same enduring truth in the darkness of his inability to overcome the judgment of God upon him.
“He discovered that God in Jesus Christ is not only judging but also redeeming the world,” Dr. McCoy said.
Era of Confusion
“Luther learned to walk in the light of the Cross and taught modern man that this light may suffice,” he added.
The professor of religion in higher education said that today we live in a new era of confusion and darkness.
“Poets, novelists, playwrights, proclaim the lost ness of man." be said. “From this inward darkness which comes at the noon-time of our prosperity and power we mav be delivered and live in the light of the cross."
I>r. McCoy is a native of North Carolina and a graduate of Presbyterian Junior College, the University of North Carolina. Puke University and Yale University.

BULLETIN
Sacramento, Calif., Feb. 18 — (I PI) — (iov. Edmund (j. Brown lias agreed to meet tonight with Attorney Rosalie Asher, who delivered to him a new appeal from Caryl Chessman asking a 30-day reprieve, the Governor’s press secretary announced.
The announcement did not say whether tiiere was anything “new or substantial” in Chessman's request. Earlier Brown said there must "be-, something of that nature before lie would see her. w-^3 . v
They didn’t plan it that way, j but when top SC debaters Dave ; Allswang and Richard Perle secured 282 signatures yesterday on a petition to save Caryl | Chessman, they discovered that they had also performed an ex-! periment in social behavior.
Situated at the corner of the I Student Union, the* petitioners received a number of comments, many of them so noteworthy that Allswang began to jot them down.
08 Comments
By the end of the day he had a total of 66 comments written down, along with a number of personal observations.
“When students passed by .in groups there w as a tendency* ( ridicule the petition in a'•facetious manner, the groups ^eldobi div ided—they all signed,oc pg*pe of them," Allswang The ‘ following rei representative of those^S^jht by Allsw'ang as v\ i^ecraciers passed by the big sign -petition- I ing for Chessman’s ‘lifei
“You ought to hang him—he’s 1 a lousy writer.”
“I wouldn’t sign that for an ‘A’ in Pharmacology.”
"We'll be seeing you at Persh- ! ing Square soon.”
4> For Death
One person said, “I want Chessman dead." This simple , statement was recorded in 42 j other forms by Allswang. A j number of ¡ieople offered sug- [ gestions for ways Chessman should lie executed:
“Hang him, hang him. Burn him, burn him.”
“I'm for hanging him.” “Barbecue him.”
“Fry him.”
“Burn Chessman.”
How to Kill One person gave a graphic de- J script ion of how he thought it i should he done, and how Chess- j man. in all probability, will meet I death at 10 a.m. this morning, “They should march him in, drop the pellet, and then drag him out.”
This suggestion was directly opposed to other statements, including, “He's suffered enough," j “I'm going to light a candle for 1 him,” “We re all human beings.” i

New TV Tape Class Hits Attendance Peak
14 Senators Named Committee Chairmen
By MIKE ROBINSON
With the vote of confidence given him by the Senate at Wednesday night’s meeting, it appears that ASSC President Wallv Karabian will have little difficulty in running student affairs this semester.
Karabian has already announced his appointrr^nt of senators to chair the senate com-	-------
mittees.
At the meeting, the 39 senators witnessed the appointments. The ASSC President commended their cooperative attitude at the close of the meeting, an attitude so cooperative Karabian received only token opposition.
Gary Dubin, parliamentarian and co-sponsor with Karabian on the standing rules and major fields statute, was named chairman of the powerful rules committee.
Other Appointees
Olher committee chairmen appointed were:
Vince Stefano, elections; Stan Gottlieb. publications; Joan Preston, social; Alariann Arrington. financial control; Bill Steig-erwalt, alumni; Stewart Cheifet. curriculum; Don Kelly, libraries:
Director Tells Definition for Good Drama
By BOB POI RTEMANCHE
"Good drama must be aimed at the mean intelligence of the audience.” said “Amphitryon 38” director Herbert M. Stahl, professor of drama, in his office yesterday following the afternoon rehearsal.
Dr. Stahl believes that the average intelligence of an audience is very high. It demands a good product. But it must not be

With a number of the senate committees formed to parallel and act in an advisory capacity to their corresponding university committees. Karabian advised that, “Committee chairmen who take their job in a responsible manner will seek out people on the university committees and keep abreast of university poli-; cy.”
Downey Comment*
Dean of Students Robert J. Dow ney, who sat in on the meeting, offered the suggestion that “it. might be real wise for com-j mittee chairmen to invite university committee members to their meetings.”
“You'd be surprised how many times the question comes up in a university committee meeting. ’What do the students think about this.’ ” he said.
When the major fields of study hold their monthly meetings, they will not be held to any specified agenda. This is the re-suit of a senatorial motion striking out the section in the statute regulating the activities of monthly meetings of the major fields.
Although Karabian said the statute only gave a “suggested
Good Drama
In good drama, created for the stage, he pointed out. “The audience should be able to know all the implications of the action.”
This is his attitude in directing “Amphtrvon 38.’’ S.N. Behr-man’s adaptation from the French play by Jean Giraudoux, which will be presented in Bovard Auditorium Feb. 25-27 and March 4-5.
Getting the complete meaning of the play across the footlights is perhaps more of a challenge than usual, and therefore more of a worthwhile undertaking with “Amphitryon 38" than w ith many plays because of its unusual nature.
This play is a product relatively rare on the American stage: high comedy. Dealing with the little follies and idle pursuits of ancient Greeks and their gods, with the situation of a wife who unwittingly climbs into the sack with Jupiter instead of her husband, Amphitryon, the play can easily be performed in a slapstick and rather tasteless manner.
Tasteful Evening However, kept on its proper level, it becomes a delicious and completely tasteful evening of entertainment. The director's hand makes the difference.
Of course, the caliber of th» production also depends very

Former TYR President Answers Question, Why Vote GOP Ticket?'
(Editor’s Note: This is the first Is a series of interviews with SC students and faculty on their political affiliations. We will discuss politics as seen by Democratic, Republican and independent voters.)
By NITA BISS Assistant to the Editor Socialism and over-centraliza-tion in American government and politics can best be prevent- j ed bj Republican Party leader- I ship, the former president of i Trojan Young Republicans told the Daily Trojan today.
In answer to the question of j why he is a Republican. Burt Pines, a senior philosophy major and a registered GOP vot- ; ei, pointed out that Democrats in the United Stales tend more toward socialism, while their j counterpart — the Republican Party — tends more toward : capitalism.
“I believe there are certain | dangers in the socialistic scheme of government, such as centralization of communication, education and industry,” Pine« said.
He added that in socialism all j powers are placed in one central j
organization—the national government or state.
“Politically, the Republicans stand for decentralization in government .and they can best guard against socialism because they simply don’t believe in it," he explained.
Political Compromise Pines said that any political party today is a compromise of many divergent views, but a voter must align himself with the party which more closely expresses his own views so they may be implemented.
“However, certain distinctions can be made between the two major parties, and it is the Republican Party which more nearly coincides with my own ideas,” he said.
He «cited the Republican attitude toward restraint and individualism as one of*- these ideas.	1
"Democrats believ e in doing as much as possible for the people, while the Republicans believe in lemoving those obstacles which preeent the people from doing things for themselves,” Pines said.
He explained that he and the GOP adhere to the principle that both business and labor should be regulated to prevent any restraints on trade and individual liberty.
Pines also contended that he is a Republican because he feels this party has established itself as the party of civil rights.
"This is something which the Democrats, because of their Southern alliances, can never achieve,” he said.
He cited the Republican stand on the farm problem as another reason for his political affilia-! tion.
“The Republicans are pledged to a solution of the presently ineffect ive system of parity to farmers.
Price Support
“At present, millions of inefficient farmers are kept in business through government price supports,” he maintained, adding that this puts an unnecessary burden on the taxpayer.
Pines pointed out that he also believes the Republican Party could offer the greatest lead-
ership in world affairs.
"Internationally, the Republicans can best lead the U.S. in this perilous world, as exhibited by the world respect shown to President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon,” he explained.
Nixon Vote He added that in the 1960 presidential election he would vote for Nixon because of his qualifications and experience.
“Nixon is obviously the most prepared man in the country to undertake the job of president.
“His eight years as vice president, his close contact with Congress, his assurance of party loyalty and his proven leadership in international affairs make him the best hope for guilding our country," Pines reported.	*
When questioned alx>ut “crossing party lines ’ to vote for a candidate. Pines replied that if an “exceptional” candidate of another party presented himself, he would not be opposed to voting for him.	,
He was also questioned on parental influence in his political thinking.	1
26 Ratifications
Twenty-six senators voted to ratify the amendment which (1) gave the major fields the freedom to regulate their own meetings, and (2) gave Karabian his on y setback of the night.
At last Wednesday s meeting, the Karabian-Dubin proposed standing rules were adopted with no revisions. Their statue to establish major-fields-of-stu-dy also were adopted, and cohort Jerry Sherman was unanimously elected president pro-tem.
The legislation passed at the meeting was intended to become a permanent and integral part of the political functioning at SC in giving the students more voice on university policies.
Hasty Preparation
Karabian had shown only a few senators the standing rules and the major fields statue previous to t.he meeting. The great majority of the senators had never seen either of the propositions before ten minutes after 7 p.m.
Thus, in three hours and 26 minutes, the senators were asked to tead, consider and approve legislation which will have important consequences on the future of SC.
During a L5-minute recess, several of them grumbled over not having seen Ihe legislation before. Some wondered aloud why they hadn’t received copies to study before the meeting but none of them brought the question openly before the Senate.
Today s Weather
The weatherman predicted continuing cloudiness in the Las Angeles area today. Cool temperatures were forecasted with a high of about 64.
Yesterday's high was 63.
