“Thp Ugly American.” written by Dr. Burdick and Canl. William ,T. Lederer in 1958, deals with the diplomatic effects of non and women in thp fictional country of Sarkhan in Southeast A'ia.
In a review of the book, the Chicago Tribune wrote, “If this angry novel results in a litlle sense being applied to the choice of State Department officials abroad, it will have accomplished 1 tie authors’ intent, and a good thing that would be.”

While other American reviewers railed Dr. Burdick's bonk “pvcellent.” “slashing.” “shocking” and “completely 'persuasive.” English reviewers took a somewhat different stand.
A London Times critic maintained that “those who have first-hand knowledge of Southeast Asia may smile at the oversimplification of such stories.” These stories concern such people as an ambassador who

Algeria Holds French Policy, Noonan Claims
By PENNY LKRNOCX Asst. City Editor
French domestic policy, in-clur’ing everything from the army to politics, rests on the current Algerian problem, says Dr. Lowell G. Noonan, SC associate professor of political science.
Dr. Noonan has recently returned from a conference on the Fifth French Reoublic at the University of California, which gue*ted authorities on France and representatives of the Republic. Included in the conference discussions were such subjects as domestic and foreign French policy, the Algerian problem and French participation in the common market.
“The solving of the Algerian problem is fundamental to the future welfare of France and her \ ability to make good on pressing financial and international com- \ mitments,” Dr. Noonan says. Internal Progress
Actually from 1956 until just recently, most of the important French policy decisions have been .made in Algeria. De Gaulle’s decision on the settlers’ uprising in January of this year was the first time action on the Algerian problem came from France herself, he points out.
“This in itself is indicative of French internal progress,” the political «science professor adds.
In terms of foreign policy. Dr. Noonan says be has chanced his viewpoint on France in the last few months.
“Previously. I felt that the French believed their drpams were a political reality. However, lately ihere has been a closer correlation between these dreams and reality.
“For instance. DeGaulle has bypassed the United Nations in favor of agreements on a more individual basis with various of the world's powers. This is calculated to give him more flexibility and endow him with various practical alternatives,” he says.
De Gaulle believes in the nation as the highest ideal because he feels the realities of the world can he realized at this lev-el. His declaration of Algerian self-determination on December 16. 1959, presents this ideal of the nation. Dr. Noonan says.
USSR Alliance
“In line with De Gaulle’s current pre-World War II policy of individual treaties, his reeime may be thinking in terms of an alliance with the USSR. However, be w il be sure to avoid any conflicts w'ith more than one country or ally at a time.
“Various of his allies have been unhappy with French policy and action at one time or an other, hut never simultaneously," thp professor points out.
He adds that this typifies T>e Gaulle's hope to see France as ihe influential arbitrator between t he Anelo-Saxon world and that of the Communists.
In regard to the European common market. Dr. Noonan feels it may have the effect of eliminating certain regressive economic features characteristic of Ihe Fourth French Republic.
“During 1he Fourth Republic there were broad areas of en'°r-prise that were very productive and progressive and broad areas that were equally regressive, particulary the small to medium enterprises.
“Under the curren competition inspired bv the common market, these small, often unproductive enterprises will either become productive and be able to stand alone without government nou-(Continued on page 2)
j sionately involved in one of the major problems facing this cen-
! tury.”
“In its vivid and dramatic form it should reach a wider audience than that concerned with the formulation of policies at the Foreign Office or State Department," the review said.
Dr. Burdick's latest book. “The American Voter,” has just b^en published by the Free Press. As co-editor of the book. Dr. Burdick reviews and clarifies recent studies in voting attitudes and behavior.
Published In Harper’s
The political science professor has also published stories in Harper’s, Ihe New Yorker, the Reporter and Holiday. His stories have been included in several antholoeies. including “O. Henry Prize Stories.”
Beside his teaching and writing activities, Dr. Burdick is a consultant on basic issues for the Fund for the Republic. Under the sponsorship of the fund, he has just completed an intensive study of California politics.
Stanford University
Dr. Burdick received his BA in psychology from Stanford University. As a Rhodes Scholar in the field of political theory, he received hie PhD at Oxford.
He is a lieutenant-commander in the U.S. Naval Reserve and served for five years during World War II as a Navy officer. He spent most of these years in the Pacific aboard amphibious vessels and destroyers.

By JOE SALTZMAN Daily Trojan City Editor
The Senior Class presidential election last Wednc'dpy and Thursday was revealed to the Daily Trojan last night as being unconstitutional.
Several students, who decided to remain unidentified until they made their official protest to the Board of Inquiry', said that Ken Unmacht, winner of last week's contest, was elected by both juniors and out-going seniors and that fhis was a direct violation of the new ASSC Constitution.
Article I
They cited Section II. Article IV, Part B, General Elections procedures:
“All executive officers shall be elected by majority vote of the member body of the association which they will represent.”
The students, one of whom was elected to office in last week's elections, maintained that only juniors who would be here next year, not seniors, should have been allowed to vote in the election.
They insisted that mathematically, this would have given Vince Stefano, losing candidate, a chance to win the position.
33 Write-Ins
Unmacht had a total of 619 votes to Stcfano’s 538 and there were 33 write-in votes.
In addition 65 ballots were blank and were, as prescribed by parliamentary order, thrown out.
Out of the legitimate 1190 ballots cast for office, 595 constituted the necessary majority.
Unmacht received 24 votes more than this majority.
The question is, would Un-

Miss Ryan apparently feels no animosity toward Miss Arrington. who was the one to beat her out of today's run-off. for she made the public statement to the Daily Trojan yesterday that, “I would like to endorse Marianne Arrington for ASSC vice president because I feel she is best-qualified for the job."

Exposition Boulevard Traffic Jammers Will Land $10 Citations, Police Warn
By BARBARA EPSTEIX
All students who tie up rush hour traffic on Exposition blvd. by trying to get into an already full Town and Gown parking lot will be given traffic citations, police warned yesterday.
An increased safety hazard, created by Ihe onrush of parking place hopefuls, was cited by 1 University Division Capt. Jack G. Collins as reason for the newr clampdown.
The problem becomes acute during the late afternoon rush I hours when evening school students begin looking for parking places. Cant. Collins said.
Students seeking an empty berth in the Town and Gown parking lo‘ on Exjosition blvd. line up in the curb lane, forcing j motorists to change lanes ab- j ruptly.
“This causes frenzied applies- i tion of brakes and manv near-1 collisions,'' said Cant. Collins.

ity if the illegal seniors had not been allowed to vote Final Results
The students who have protested the election believe that the final results would have been different.
They declared that t'nev will ask for a special Board of Inquiry meeting today to bring their case before the committee.
The Board includes Elections Commissioner Ed Tannenbaum. Mortar Board President Barbara Myers, Blue Key President Bob Chick, and two ASSC senators, Terry Lindberg and Jerry Greensw eig.
Dr. Robert Downey, dean of students, is the consulting adviser.
Unmacht Surprised
Elected president Unmacht was suprised to hear about the student action when informed about it last night.
“As far as I know it has always been done this way,” the officer said.
He added that he felt the tradition was handed down because experienced seniors felt they were entitled to vote for the new senior class officer.
“I do not believe that this is against any constitutional policy,” he said. “However, I will await the Board’s decision before I make any plans.”
I'p and Up
When contacted last night, loser Stefano said that “as far as I'm concerned the election was on the up and up.”
“If there is another election.it will not be at my insistence,” he added. “Ken’s a good friend of mine and I'm sure he'll do a good job.”
Elections Commissioner Tannenbaum said that he and Boh J a n i, coordinator of special events, knew about the “unconstitutional” procedure all of the time.
“This is the first election under the new constitution, and we had several problems during its progress,” he said.
He added that juniors and seniors had always voted for the incoming senior class president and that there appeared to be no reason to change now.
while Miss Arrington is more interested in seekin* greater alumni support.
The other run-off election will only affect members of the field of health, PE and therapy, a^ those students vote today to select their Senate representative for the coming year.
Robbin Angelica will he running against Molly Lloyd-Wilson for the office, for which 61 helots were origfnallv cast.
Of the 61 votes. Miss Angelica has 24, Miss Lloyd-Wilson copped 18 and the other three candidates totaled 19.
The elections will be held in Dohenv Memorial Park.

PA Teacher Wins Grant
Dr. Wallace H. Rest, assistant professor in SC’s School of Public Administration, has been selected as one of eight winners in the newly established grants-in-aid program of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University.
Dr. Best, who is director of the Pakistan Project at SC. will receive $2000 to study the first half century if initiative and referendum politics in California.
The grants are for research projects in the field of practical politics. They were set up by institute in order to encourage the study of politics in operations.
The eight winners were selected from a total of 51 applicants. In choosing the recipients, an effort was made to give preference to promising young ^lineal scientists.
The place of metaphysics and science in today's world will be discussed by Dr. Paul J. Miller, assistant professor of philosophy, at today’s Philosophy Forum.
The forum will be held at 4:15 in Mudd Hall.
In the last lecture of the spring Philosophy Forum seties, which has centered on “Science and Man.” Dr. Miller will explore how “Science and Metaphysics” operate in the modern world.
Metaphysics, the science which delves into the "knowledge of ; being,” has almost been lost in contemporary thinking and, consequently, has lost, power as a vital force in everyday life, believes Dr. Miller.
Natural science, which considers the knowledge of nature, seems to have taken its place, he points out.
Man is Floundering
“The problem arises because in the last 300 years, natural science has been commonly regarded as the only kind of science,” says Dr. Miller.
As a consequence, modern man, without * firm metaphysical knowledge, seems to be floundering, he* believes.
“In spite of the advance made in natural science, we seem to have become confused as to the ultimate nature of things.’’ he says.
It is this need “a science of being” that Dr. Miller will analyze this afternoon.
While there are manv philosophies today, none have aided in solving this basic need, he says.
Perverted View
“They all have in common the denial of the science of metaphysics. This involves us in a perverted and unreal view of the nature of things," he continues.
This tendency toward nonmetaphysical philosophies has made today’s philosophical wisdom “sadly deficient,” believes Dr. Miller.
Rene Descartes is the originator of the contemporary idea that there is only one science— the natural science — and other philosophers after him have embraced the idea, says Dr. Miller.
“In classical and medieval ; times metaphysics was regarded
| as the highest of the philosophic-j al sciences,” he points out.
