PRESIDENT KARABIAN TELLS YEAR’S PROGRESS
(Editor's note: This is the fir«-t in a series of articles evaluating Wallv Karabian's term as ASSC president. The series will deal w'th Karabian’s campaign promises and actuaJ ac-complisments.)
By NITA HISS Assistant ta the Editor
Wally Karabian’s reign as ASSC president will be over in just one month. During his year in office, how success!uly has he fulfilled his campaign promises?
When Karabian ran fcr student body presiaent l&st spring, his program included plans for a public lecture program, Nation Weeks for foreign students, an investigation into Coliseum concessions and the establishment of a campus humor magazine.
However, none of the pre-election platitudes have developed in exactly the manner Karabian hoped they would.
The student body president’s plans for a public lecture program have been carried out largely through the efforts of the university administration, rather than by Karabian or any student committee appointed by him.
“The summer after my election, the university established a leakers’ bureau made up of SC professors and administrators who would be willing to speak before campus groups.” Karabian explained.
This bureau has distributed brochures and set itself up as an agency to furnish speakers upon request.
“The public lecture program as such is being handled by the Campus Speakers Committee organized by President Topping last fall,” he said.
This committee, of which Karabian and Senator Ken Unmacht serve as student members, will sponsor a lecture by author and political scientist Eugene Burdick on Wednesday, April 6, during which time all 10 a.m. classes will be cancelled.
“Everything which has been done to improve the speakers’ program has been done through the administration and is a big improvement over last year, when we didn’t have anything,” Karabian claimed.
Karabian pointed out that the six-man committee has substantial funds with which to secure top-notch speakers for campus appearances.
“We hope to expand the program into a package-type arrangement where six or seven men will visit the campus during the year and speak on the same subject,” he added.
He expained that the cancelling of classes indicates the high level of the program but limits the number of speakers which can appear.
Karabian reported that next year the proposed theme of the series will be “American Culture in Transition,” and will consist of* five lectures on such topics as “The Population Explosion,” “The Impact of Science and Technology,” “The Arts,” “Changing Concepts of American Political Life” and “Changing Values in American Life.”
“This is the greatest type of service which the university can offer,” Karabian explained when asked how valuable he thought the program was.
He also remarked that political speakers are handled separately, generally through campus political organizations.
When asked if he carries student recommendations to the Speakers Committee, Karabian replied that he has and will continue to do so.
“Although an ‘open-door’ policy for campus speakers is a good thing, we shouldn’t waste the student body’s time on men who are not of high caliber,” he added.
Karabian was also questioned about the progress of his proposal for Nations Week as part of a program to better foreign student relations.
“My original plan was to replace International Students Week with Nations Weeks, where each major foreign group could sponsor its own week,” he said.
He believes that this type of program, consisting of displays and publicity, would give American students specific information about these countries.
“I met with Moustapha Akkad, president of the international students, and other foreign students in the presence of Adviser Viets Logue and was told that the financial burden for such a program would be too great.
Pie added, “We have to abandon the idea and revert back to the original idea of an International Stu-
dents Week, which turned out to be the only feasible plan.”
“With the help of Dudley Johnson, former student activities adviser, I investigated the situation at the Coliseum and found nothing could be done to lower prices.”	#
Karabian pointed out that he didn’t like seeing dents “getting robbed” at their own football games and wanted something to be done about it.
“I found out that rates are established by the Coliseum Commission on the basis of which concession submits-the lowest bid,” he said.
He added that the university just couldn’t step in and set up its own concessions because the Coliseum is city owned and operated.
Karabian also discussed his promise to establish a campus humor magazine.
“Last year, I did say I wanted to establish a campus humor magazine, but during my campaign SCaffold —an off-campus enterprise—appeared.”
He added that if SCaffold should fold he would make a personal recommendation to the Publications Committee that the university support the establishment of a campus humor magazine.
“As long as SCaffold continues to publish, there is no need for another humor magazine,” he said.

John A. Diemand, president of IN A, told the group he believes the principal difference between campus leaders and cor- { poration directors is merely one of years. He insists that both groups know how to speak the same language.
“We wish to learn, what the deans and students of your university think about business today,” Diemand said when he invited the SC people.
“In turn, we hope you will be interested in asking questions about our business,” he added.

IR Students To See Pix
The international relations student body will see a series of European travel pictures this a! ternoon. The pictures were taken during a European tour by an SC student.
Craig Corbett will present the program at 2:15 p.m. in 204 FH.
He and a friend spent four months traveling throughout Europe.
Not content with the usual tourist accommodations, they stayed in a variety of houses, hotels and inns, including student hos ?is, the German Embassy and the country estates of a nobleman's daughter.
Corbett mentioned that the Brussels World Fair arid a visit with Princess Grace of Monaco were a few of the trip's many highlights.
( crete examples to support his views on the relationship of art ! to science.
Main Effects
“I will discuss the main effects the 17th century scientific revolution had on fine arts,” he said.
One of Dr. Knodel's points will be that scientific theory, or actual science, has had relatively little direct influence on the fine
arts.
“But the secondary effects of science have had a very great effect on the fine arts,” he commented.
Direct Influence
Director to Emphasize Psychology In Play Scheduled for Stop Gap
“Know thyself’ might well be 1he theme of Arthur Laurents’ psychological play, “A Clearing in the Woods,” says Dr. Jit Kapur, the play's director.
Dr. Kapur, a native of India and an SC graduate, will direct Stop Gap Theater's latest play, to be presented Thursday through Sunday.

on the arts, while explaining that there has been a great number of indirect scientific influence in the arts.
An attempt will also be made to explain the antagonism between art and science that has developed chiefly in the 20th I century, Knodel said.
'The play itself revolves around Virginia, a woman in her thirties who comes to the brink of a nervous breakdown because of her inability to know and understand herself and her limitations,” says Dr. Kapur.
She realizes this problem, he explains, through a fantasy-like
exploration of her past life as an object ive bystander.
“Her unhappiness begins during childhood when he father continually compares her unfavorably to her ‘perfect’ mother. This leads to her first affair at the age of 17 when she seeks to prove herself.
“This unhappiness continues
she finds she must look back into her life and discover why happiness has always eluded her.
“The play then resolves into a courtroom scene where one by one all the men interests in her life leave her and she must face three people—herself at ages 9, 17 and 26.”
Virginia realizes that these

Vice President
AWS President Carole Howe will be moderator at the discus- j sion which will feature the candidates’ views on the job of vice | president and student govern- 1 ment in general.
Carol R\an. third candidate for the executive office, will not j be present at the debate because of previous engagements.
Although all three candidates i agree on the public relations im- I portance of the job of official SC ! hostess, certain differences ap- | pear in their platforms.
Office Hours
Miss Arrington, for instance, | favors shorter office hours and more time spent actively campaigning for recognition and monetary aid to the university.
Miss Kelly, while agreeing that social contacts through such groups as the High School Relations Committee are important, feels that a daily 1 to 5 p.m. office schedule should be kept.
Miss Ryan believes a middle road between office and outside activities is advisable. Her special emphasis would be on a strong social and cultural calendar and better high school and junior college relations.
Kappa Sisters
While rumors have consistently arisen as to the “competition,” between the Miss Arrington and Miss Kelly, both Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sisters, each claims that there is no animosity toward her opponent.
“The spirit of competition is always healthy, and we have found this to be friendly competition,” said Miss Kelly.
Miss Arrington said that both were “working harder to be
Miss Ryan, competing with the two sorority sisters, said “my campaign, although slightly stronger because of the competition, still rests on the decisive factor of my platform.” Meanwhile, Denny Metzler was back to the campaigning circle yesterday after recovering from a serious bout with influenza in Fresno.
Elections Board His opponent for the junior class presidency. Jim Harmon, was also back campaigning after a repeal in his favor of the Elections Board of Inquiry censorship of his campaigning activities.
Ken Unmacht and Vince Stef-ano, senior class presidential candidates, put up new banners —their old ones had been burned down—and continued on bas-icalfv the same platforms.
Bill Steigerwalt, the only official candidate for ASSC presidency, faced opposition from two write-in candidates, Ken Layne and Ed Nelson.
Open Government
Layne’s platform stands for active non-participation, while Nelson claims his main objective in running is the opening of student body government to “anybody and everybody.”
Another of his aims is “to do away with machine-groomed officers and to eliminate the quagmire of rules, regulations and prejudices which smother and strangle free-thinking aspirants for student government positions.”
Arabs Urge Student Vote

Past director of several SC plays, Dr. Kapur is well qualified for such attempted interpretation of the psychological play.
The topic of his doctoral thesis was an experimental study of the effects of psychoanlytical interpretation of plays.
Most of the plays he has directed have had psychological implications. These include Tennessee Williams’ “Twenty-seven Wagons Full of Cotton.” which later became “Baby Doll,” and “Riders to the Sea.”
