“But they do not want to jeo- ; pardize their democratic free- ; dom to do so,” he declared.

She will get a chance to put her knowledge to practical use before her Soviet sojourn when she serves as a delegate to the Model United Nations April 6-9.

She would like to do graduate work and then go into the Foreign Service after she graduates from SC next year.
Brave Insists Movies Still In Indian War
The American Indian has been four-flushed by the entertainment industry and Hollywood isn’t eager to deal him a straight hand yet, an Indian actor said yesterday.
Silver Moon, half Cherokee and half French, told a meeting of Alpha lambda Delta, freshman women's honorary society, that Hollywood is only interested in telling a good story.
If the true picture of the Indian is ignored in the process, producers and directors seem to take a “so what” attitude, he said.
Wild Indian
What the public then sees is a wild Indian, getting violent on “firewater,” rushing out on scalping parties, turning coward in battle and in every way nothing more than a degraded spectacle of humanity, he said.
What the public does not get is a real view of Indian culture, Indian habits of thought and Indian customs, he continued.
“The way Hollywood sees it, when the Indian is not fighting frontier settlers and not attacking covered wagons, he is ‘grunting* or making unintelligible sounds and unreadable signs,” said Silver Moon.
Stupid Indian
“What the public gets is a picture of a stupid Indian, who doesn’t know a word of English,” he said.
| “And this Is just not the j truth,” he asserted.
If writers, directors and producers ever do decide to portray the American Indian as he was and not as they glamorize him to be, it probably won’t be to rectify any of ihe injustices they | have meted out to him, he con- | tinued.
Most future attempts to portray the Indian realistically will ! probably have money-making motives behind them, said Silver Moon.
Hollywood I.ies
The Indian actor, who has acted in two television series, “Death Valley Days” and “U.S. Marshal,” and motion pictures. “Alias Jesse James” and “The Barham Story,” doesn't think Hollywood Is ready to be truthful about the Indian.
If Hollywood wanted to do something about it, all that would be needed would be to look in the real annals of history, he said.
“All the revelatory facts arc in the records.” he said.
He can recall only one movie. “Sitting Bull,” as giving an authentic portrayal of the Indian.
No Indian Victories
“Any attempt to show the Indians defeating the cavalry in the climax of a movie would just be censored.” he saijl.
Neither the producers nor the public will allow any such kind of realistic portrayal, said Silver Moon.
Ironically enough, if producers do shov^ things as they really were, the public would be skeptical and might not even accept it, he said.
American audiences have been so conditioned to seeing the Indian in a “contorted” way that they would probably reject as untrue anything really authentic, he said.

Another screenwriter, who shared the rostrum with Lawson, condemned the television industry for making “trained seals” out of its writers.
William Tunberg, a noted script writer, told the English 100b students' that TV writers must learn to “jump for their fish” if they are to survive.
Agreeing with Tunberg that commercialism had taken over the industry, Lawson pointed out that “those in the industry who were the most sincere — those people with convictions —-were the ones chosen for persecution.”

Junior Class Presidential Candidate Returned to Race by Inquiry Board
Junior Class presidential candidate Jim Harmon gained ground in his "hoot and holler” campaign yesterday after receiving a setback at the bands of the Election Board of Inquiry earlier this week.
Action taken against Harmon by the Board of Inquiry for violating election rules was modified by the University Committee for Student Activities who heard 1he sophomore's appeal yesterday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Denny Metzler, sidelined contender for the Junior Class presidency, informed fraternity brothers that he would not l>e able to return to campus until early next week.

The Board of Inquiry edict was handed down after Harmon was brought before the group because of illegal campaign practices which included a “sticker-type” gimmick, not approved by Elections Commissioner Ed Tan-nenbauni.
Harmon appealed the Board's decision which prohibited him from campaigning in any way, either by speaking to groups or hanging up posters. The University Committee for Student Ac-

An SC professor of political science who believes that the 1 California constitution is “in dire need of a complete over-| hauling,” will speak on the j “Problem of Revising the Cali-! fornia Constitution,” tonight at | Whittier College.
Dr. Bernard L. ‘Hyink, active in seeking a revision of the bulky state constitution, will discuss the problem with the Southern California Political Science Association.
He will join a panel consisting of professors from San Diego State College, Los Angeles State College. Pomona College, UCLA, and the University of California at Santa Barbara.
Unwieldy Document
The political scientist believes that the unwieldy document is in dire need of a complete overhauling.
Called to testify before the Committee on Constitutional Amendments of the state assembly last month. Dr. Hvink testified that the 400-time I amended constitution has failed to keep up with the tremendous growth of the state.
“The explosive population growth and dramatic economic change in California calls for a modernization of the basic charter to bring it in harmony with the political, social and economic conditions.” he said.
The biggest defect in the 1879 state constitution is the close attention it pays to minute detail* Dr. Hyink believes.
Legislative Detail
“There is so much legislative detail in the Constitution that frequent amendments are necessary in order that the government may adequately meet the needs of the day,” he said.
All constitutional amendments must be submitted to the voters before they can become law*.
“And unfortunately the electorate is thus confronted every two years with multitudinous decisions on detailed technicalities on which they have little, if any, knowledge.” he said.
Loses Voter Interest
What this really leads to is a loss of voter interest in measures quite important to the public, he feels.
The long ballot, devoted to overhauling outmoded constitutional provisions, obscures many major issues during election years. Dr. Hyink maintains.
“Matters requiring frequent alteration and adjustment should be left to the legislature and
