Players Put in Merry Nights For Carousel
By BOB COl'RTEMANCHE
“Carousel” rehearsals go on and on. and the end. which is the l>eginning, approaches. Rehearsals end Wednesday, and the show opens Thursday evening in Fovard Auditorium, the beginning of a five-performance run.
The cast was hard at it again Saturday night. Director John C. Blankenchip. associate professor of drama at SC. had seven of the principals in a corner of the large auditorium.
Most were in the seats, and Blankenchip was standing, giving them personal direction for the show. Richard Miailovich. Enoch Snow in “Carousel.” found the floor more comfortable.
Fast Learners
Most of the cast are not drama students. But they seem to learn fast.
The auditorium was dim — there was a blue aura of light over the stage, which became an unflattering yellow, then a misty orange-pink. Long ladders used by the heroes of the lighting crew leaned high against the ornate grillwork at the stage sides.
Starting Time
“Hans, are you about set?” Blankenchip called.
“About,” was the noncommittal answer from Hans Beer, music director for “Carousel.”
“Well, if it isn't Mr. Snow,” someone wryly commented as the cast trouped to the stage from all areas of the auditorium.
The vacant-windowed wall of a clapboard house-front stood at stage right. At the left, nine magnificent white wooden steeds stood in a circle.
Tom Mix
Richard Lang, Jr., mounted one of the horses, pulled a black prop gun from his pocket, and played Tom Mix.
Blankenchip assembled the cast for a group discussion. John Winnaman, who plays Jigger Craigin, sat in the rear and flipped a deck of cards. Melissa Murphy, a blonde with dark, dark eyes, had a question about her role as Carrie Pipperidge.
Jerry Dorter, a large man with a tiny flash camera, leaned motionless against the pit. Production Coordinator Lucille Lib-eratore bounded busily about as if she had been bouncing down theatre aisles all her life.
“Girls, none of you know Mr. Snow,” Blankenchip informed them. “I don’t know why. Julie doesn’t know Mr. Snow. You're going to meet him.”
Frantic Tomorrows
“Tonight is the last semi-calm run through you'll have.” he continued. "Tomorrow will be kind of frantic. Monday will be extremely rough.
“Take notes,” he advised the cast. Lighting Director Katherine Franichevich dug deep into a huge straw handbag, found a pen, and began taking notes.
“You’re going to feel very insecure Monday, with full lighting, makeup and costumes.” Blankenchip said. “As Joanie (Continued on Page 2)

FROSH, SENATE ELECTIONS REOPEN FOR RUNOFF RACE Boy's View
To Be Seen On Forum
Political campaign posters will again become University ave. guide-posts as senator-at-large and freshman officer candidates compete in Thursday’s special run-off election.
The general election last week saw candidates for senator-at-large, freshman president and vice president failing to receive a majority of votes.
The polls will be open from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. in front of Dohenv Library, Marjorie Hirsch, commissioner of etections, said.
Vying for the vacant senator-at-large seat will be Ron Sherman and Ken Unmacht. The two candidates were voted into a run-off situation last week when Unmacht received 359 votes and Sherman 276.
Stephan Bersbad and Dick Messer will be competing for the freshman class presidency while Judy Crumrine and Faye Henderson battle for the vice presidential position.
Approximately 45 per cent of the freshman class went to the polls last week.
YVally Karabian, ASSC president, indicated his pleasure at the freshman turnout and hoped that the general student bodv will develop the same enthusiam for the senator-at-large contest.
“The Senate this year is assuming many new responsibilities and is opening a large field of participation for students,” he said. “Both candidates are reliable and enthusiastic, but only the student body can decide which will be on the Senate.”
“It will take only a minute of the Students’ time to cast their ballots and it will certainly be worth thei»* time,” he stressed.
Eoth senator-at-large candidates have had much student activity experience.
Sherman has served as a Knight, Squire, Greater U committeeman, commerce treasurer and on the AMS Christmas project.
llnmacht has been a Knight, Squire, MUN member, high school-junior college relations worker and member of several class and inter-fraternity councils.

A 12-year-old boy’s decision to tell the truth will become the springboard of a discussion of moral right and wrong in the second of the Philosophy Forum’s “Six Experiments in Value Conflicts,” today at 4:15 p.m. Bowne Hall.
Using two scenes from Samuel Taylor’s ‘‘The Happy Time” as a basis for his analysis. Dr. William S. Snyder, assistant professor of philosophy, will explore the problem of “To Tell the Truth or to Lie.”
Dirty Picture
The problem comes to a focus in the second act of the play when B bi. a young schoolboy, is wrongly accused of drawing a “d;rt'; nicture” and is singed out for punishment, s?:d Dr. Snyder.
Two scenes dramatizing Bibi’s predicament will be presented by advanced drama students. Under the direction of graduate student Eleanor A. Gobrecht Robert Bi-lieller, playing Bibi, Burton Schwartz, his father, and Lowell Thomas, the school principal, will enact the situation in which Bibi may escape punishment if he confesses to something which he did not do.
Wider Context
Dr. Snyder will explain why the problem itself has no meaning unless seen in a wider con-j text.
“If one considers this kind of problem only in terms of telling the truth or lying it becomes ! insolvable,” Dr. Snyder said.
“It becomes resolvable only when the whole of human life is included as background.”
Dr. Snyder will interpret Bibi’s predicament from that aspect.
“The scenes will illustrate that laws and disciplines themselves must be evaluated at times.” Miss Gobrecht explained. “While authority is certainly necessary, it is not necessarily always right,” she continued.
Criticizes Methods
She pointed out that in Bibi’s situation questions are raised concerning the methods by which the principal has criticized the bov.
Bib has been beaten because lie will not confess to something he hasn’t done. Miss Gobrecht said. If he confesses his punishment will cease, but he will be lying. His father also intervenes in the matter.
“By. this series of events we can see that the young boy and his father enable the principal to realize that even authority must be based on fact,” concluded the director.
Philosophy, Drama
Today’s Philosophy Forum marks the second attempt by the philosophy department to oresent philosophical concepts through the medium of drama.
“We are presenting in dynamic concreteness the problems with which the philosopher deals in the abstract,” explained Dr. Wil-(Continued on Page 2)

Geology Professor to Reveal Secrets of Mediterranean Sea
How much sand drifts along the beach of the Mediterranean Sea and where does it go? These questions will be discussed tomorrow at noon when Dr. Kenneth Emery, geology professor, addresses members of the geology department in 412 Bridge Hall.
Sand drift is one of the problems on which Dr. Emery obtained first-hand information during a seven-month sabbatical trip to the Middle East.
In studying sand deposits, Dr. Emery found that much of the sand washed along the beaches comes from the Nile River in Egypt.
Blown Inland
Much of the sand is blown inland, while some is blown upward on the north coast of Lebanon.
While touring the Middle East, Dr. Emery made several talks concerning geological work on the west coast of our country.
Oceanography information and developments of this area were

topics of five lectures he gave at the University of Alexandria in Egypt. He also spoke at the Egypt Geological Survey in Cairo.
Salt Deposits
One of the main accomplishments of the geologist during his visit was the initiation of a study explaining the depositions of salt in the Dead Sea.
This work was done in connection with the Israel Geological Survey in Jerusalem.
Large quantities of salt are deposited in the Dead Sea, and Dr. Emeryr began a research project investigating the methods in which they are formed.
“The Dead Sea is shaped something like a peanut,” he explained. “with the north end being much deeper than the south. This portion is as deep as 2500 feet in some places.
Water Evaporates “During the hot seasons, the water from the shallow end evaporates, thus concentrating the salt in the water in the north end,” he said. “It is believed that water at the bottom of the north end is several hundred years old.”
It has been determined that the salt in the Dead Sea contains little calcium, said Dr. Emery. What there is eventually settles to the bottom, and a layer of fine clay is doposited
on top of it as sediment collects.
Samples of these layers were brought up and studied. This project has not been completed. Dr. Emery explained. It will be continued until March when a full year of study has been accomplished.
The third project undertaken by Dr. Emery in the middle East was the sounding of profiles on the Mediterranean Sea floor.
“Sounding profiles is a system in which sounds are sent to the bottom of a water body and the time of deflection is measured,” he said.
Oil Deposits
This process is o n e w a y of finding if there are probable oil deposits may be found under water.
Parallel ridges measuring as high as 50 feet were found on the bottom of the Sea, Dr. Emery said. These were probably formed from old sand dunes when the sea level was lower.
Two or three ship wrecks were found off the coast of Caesarea and may have been Roman ships.
Dr. Emery was accompanied to the Middle East by a former student. David Rabinovitz. who did graduate work at SC during 1957-58.

Benefit From SC Scientists
Bv HINDA SCHORR
Two discoveries in the field of biochemistry have recently been made by members of the SC science department.
Under the direction of Dr. Paul Saltman, associate professor of biochemistry and nutrition, contributions have been made toward increasing plant cells and governing the iron supply in the human body.
Dr. Richard Eppley, assistant professor of biology, and Herb Conrad, graduate student, found that plant cells can be increased ns much as 13 times by the addition of certain acids to the plant.
This discovery makes it possible to increase the world’s food resources and also aid in the study of plant life, Dr. Saltman said.
The second contribution involves the causes of iron deficiency and the over-abundance of iron in the body.
Hyde Stitt, research assistant, and Phil Charley, graduate student, together with Dr. Saltman found that three factors govern the body’s iron content.
First of these is the molecular content of the iron; second is the amount of metal that exists in a soluahle form and third is the type of metal ions with in the body cells.
Hve years of experimentation were required for both of these discoveries.
The dark eyes of Melinda Montgomery sparkled last night with the announcement that she had become the El Rodec Queen of 1960.
The 19-year-old dental hygiene major expressed amazement at her victory over the 10 other coeds vying for the beauty honor at the final judging in the Luau restaurant in Beverly Hills.
“I still can’t believe it,” said the radiant new queen after El Rodeo editor Frank Gleberman presented her with a perpetual trophy and a huge bouquet of cardinal and gold American Beauty roses. “My heart is pounding. I’ve never won anything like this before,” she mur-mered.
The trophy will lodge in the Delta Gamma sorority house during the reign of j its representative in the ; Calendar Girl contest.
The other 10 finalists will pose for division pages in the 1960 El Rodeo. Runners-up were Dorothy Shewey, Keren Kester, Barbara Baumgartner, Faye Henderson, Marcia Northrup, Shau-a Sorensen, Judy Bennett, Linda Petrie, Bev Brown and Barbara Stephens. 4
Competition began a week
ago as more than 400 of Troy’s women entered the preliminary elimi nations. The following evening 100 women returned for the second competition in evening wear.
Thursday evening the 11 semi-finalists were selected from 35 entrants wearing Bermuda Shorts.
Judges Paul Martinez, Dr. Robert Craig, Wayne Warga, Chuck Phillips and Don Si-monian attended the Poly-nesian-style banquet last night and cast their votes after dining in the company of the lovely hopefuls.
Movie cameramen and representatives of the metropolitan new s p a p e r s were present as the vivacious junior accepted her prizes.
Miss Montgomery is a native of La Crosse, Wis. Her parents now reside in Glendale.
At the presentation banquet, Gleberman expressed appreciation to the Trojan women who supported the yearly event.
“I believe that the outstanding enthusiasm and participation is indicative of the tremendous spirit of which Trojans are capable,” he said.
He noted that with an in-

creasing amount of coverage and participation in recent years, the Calendar Girl competition “has become one of the major events on
the campus.”
Many of the finalists are winners of other beauty and queen contest including the Tournament of Roses in
Pasadena, he added.
Gleberman said last night that one of the Calendar Girls had already been signed by a television net- I
work to do TV commercials.
A representative from a nation-wide TV corporation in Mexico will use the queen in a program depicting the life of a Trojan coed.
A number of other TV, magazine and newspaper representatives have also shown interest in the contest.
Ssix of the girls in the contest have blonde hair, but the winner was a brunette. Miss Montgomery wore a red satin sheath. Her short brown hair was waved smoothly in a soft style.
She said that her hobbies including showing horses, which she has been doing since he was nine.
The excited new queen said she was little worried about the homework she hadn’t done for the last two weeks. ”I’ve been running around like crazy. I have several mid-term exams this week and I don’t know how I’ll puli through,” she said.
Miss Montgomery was selected over the other contestants on the basis of facial and bodily beauty as well as poise. She represents the “cream of the beauty crop” at SC.
Vince Stephano was coordinator of the contest.
Enforcement Up to IFC
By LYNDA ELYEA
Peace prevails once again on the seating arrangement at football games which was so violently protested by the Row when the ASSC Senate passed a resolution prohibiting the reservation of seats at the games.
However, with the ruling going into effect this Saturday at the Stanford game, agreement is being reached from both sides.
“The matter of enforcing the resolution has been placed entirely in the hands of the IFC.” said Dr. Robert J. Downey, dean
of students.
“This is a matter which we feel can be handled better without strict enforcement on the part of the administration,” he continued.
“We’re not worried about the cooperation of the fraternities. The matter is out of our jurisdiction, and we don’t expect any further problem,” he added.
Regulation enforcements will not be issued by the Knights as was thought earlier. They have no implication in the situation. Dr. Downey said.
“The IFC will cooperate completely in the implementation of the new ASSC regulations.” IFC president Gary Eberhard said.
“Should there be any violation of the new regulation by fraternities, they will be turned over to the IFC Judicial Committee for disciplinary action.”
Sections which are to be opened to the student body without any fraternity reservations are those between tunnels 21 and 22, rows 8 to 54.
Seats may be reserved in any section other than this, Dr. Downey said.
“Any school regulation effecting IFC automatically becomes a part of the IFC constitution,” Eberhard said in explaining the attitude of fraternities on the decision.
“This is simply a tradition which the ASSC Senate decided the school would be better without,” Dr. Downey said.
Trio to Play For Rooters On Cal Train
Entertainment on the special rooter’s train to the SC-Californ-ia football game next Saturday, will include a musical combo, said Mike Thomson, organizer of the project.
The Sandy Schmidt Trio, including piano, bass and saxophone, will play for singing, dancing and listening, Thomson said.
“Tickets will be on sale from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in front of the Student Union Building until this Friday. There is a possibility that tickets will be on sale next week, too, but it’s doubtful,” Thomson added.
$22.75 Price
Price of a round trip ticket is $22.75. which includes transportation to and from San Francisco, a free lunch and entertainment. A one-way ticket costs SI 3.50.
“Students attending night school who wish to purchase these tickets may phone me any time at OL 5-6280, and I’ll try to make arrangements for them,” Thomson said.
Thomson said that arrangements have been made for busses in San Francisco. They will transport rooters from the San Francisco depot to Union Square, and to and from the ball game in Berkeley.
Midnight Rally
A special midnight rally will be held at Union Square Friday and, if all goes well, a victory rally after the game, Thomson said.
“Make your reservations now,” Thomson urged. “I believe most airlines are filled up for the entire weekend,” he said.
“Travel by train will also be less tiring and more fun than by car,” Thomson said.
TTVoi Sin*,-n
