Dr. Schuitz explained that il if ironic 1 hat recent strides toward unification have come about through economic agreements rather than through military loree.
“Th<* impetus to a unified Eu-rope was first si ven by the Organization of Euiopean Economic Cooperation < OEEC > which was sponsored by the U.S. and entered into by all of t ie coun-tries of Europe oul"id-2 the Iron Curtain.” Dr. SchuMz said.
He to!d how the OEEC. organized in IT IS. !°rl to ihe formation of the European Payment t'nion. which in turn hr.s been largely responsible for rapid and efficient clearance of payment ba’ances among its European members.
More Agreement«
Other treaty agreements have been the Benelux Custom Union, a trade agreement between the Netherlands. Belgium and Luxembourg signed in 1948. and the European Coal and Steel Community. an agreement entered into by the six common market countries: France. Italy, West Germany, the Ne'herlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

Parts Open For Drama Production
Tryouts for the forthcoming drama department production of
.lean Giradeux's “Amphitryon ’38” are continuing today in the office of direclor Herbert M. Stahl.
Siahl noted that all SC students are eligible lo perform in 1he drama. He urged all who ate interested to try out for one of the 11 parts in private readings in his office.
His office- is in the drama building. 3907 Hoover St.
"Amphitryon ’38” is listed as “a comedy in prologue and three arts.” The number in the name comes from the fact that it is Giradooux’s 3Sth version of the play.
Also »cheduled hv the drama department in the nea*- future are a set of experimental seenes in Ston Gap Theater on January 14. and the well-known Jpp^nes'-drama “Rashomon" in th» same theater for several nights early in February.
‘■Rashomon" originally p n-praied in this country ^s a film, and recently was on Rroadwav
a drama slaning Port Steiger.

of the common market occurred in 1957 with the signing of the Euiopean Common Market treaty by the six market countries," Dr. Schultz explained.
Me added that this treaty provides for the eventual removal of custom duties, import and expert quotas and all restrictions ou the tree movement of lal>or a.id capital among the six countries.
Hu^e Market
“The magnitude of -the common market is enormous, for with its creation there is produced a marketing area that is virtually the equivalent or that which is enjoyed by U.S. manufacturers,” Dr. Scliu tz said.
He explainer! that wncii "this fact is combined with the enormous economic recovery t hr. t has been mai^ b> Europe — th.<t is roughly a 150 per cent increase in industrial production since 1954—it is not surprising to find ihe great rush of American companies to participate through wholly owned or jointly owned subsidiaries in this new dynamic mrrket.”
Dr. Schultz aided that in It.ely alone the annu I fio»v of American investment < p'tal into th° country Ins risen from .‘-IT mill'on in 1953 to over $250 million in 1959.'
“The end result of a unified Europe, producing lor a mass market, will be a continual raising of the European living Standard and a continuing political stability,” he said.

Canal Rioting Triggered by Politician, Panamanian Says
By HIM*A SCHORR
Recent demonstrations among Panamanian .«Indents in Hie Ca-r " zone were not based on actual anti-American feelings, an SC student from the Central American renuWic said today.
Clarence Skeeip, a sctvor majoring in Snanish, described the reported pro-communism riots as the result of a powerful p”Cc’-dential nominee s attemp*s to tnske "political hay.”
“He went on The canal's lock* having a Panamanian flag." Skeete said.
“Then it vv ^s not hard to swiv ! the masses 0f n^ople mostly ir-r<*s|M»nsible high school students.”

But, he adds, “The people themselves are not anti-American.”
America's conflict with the Panamanian government began during construction of the canal, Skeetes explained.
The contract Ihe United States offered Panama used the word "perpetuity,” which means forever.
As a result, Panama could never gain control of the ocean-connecting canal.
Panamanians became dissatisfied with the $250.000 rent the United States paid annually. So under terms of a contract agreed upon in 1936, the price w-as upped to $436.000 a year.

Everyday Life Is Religion, Says Chaplain
True religion is not “praying to win a football game” or asking to avoid the consequences of life, it is expressed in the way we deal with people in the everyday world, SC's Chaplain Clinton A. Newman said today.
There are people who “try” religion superficially, Chaplain Neyman explained, in the manner that they try a new cough drop. “This is religiousity, or the interpretation by some people that religion is worth as rtiuch as what they can get out of it.”
He maintains that to many people, however, religion is a meaningful and worthwhile thing.
"There are less professed agnostics in American colleges today than there were 150 years J ago," he pointed out. “In those days there were organized societies of agnostics.”
From that era. however, arose the great American missionary movement which spread across the United States and to Asia and Africa. College students reflect this background today, he said.
“Even those who completely disavow any conventional religions prefer to govern their lives by some ethical values. These values are part of our religious background.” he said.
"There would be no burden of responsibility or sense of duty in any of us if it were not for religion.”
The chaplain said that some mistakenly think of religion as what you get in a place of worship. Although this is imnortant, our actions in dealing with people show our true religion, he said.
Organized religion is taken seriously by most, he continued. “We hear of social activities of the church because we don't talk about things most sacred in our lives. Deep emotions are the hardest things in the world to express in w'ords.
Late French Existentialist Understood Life Problems
By NITA BISS Assistant to the Editor Albert Camus, Nobel Prize winning novelist who died Monday on a Paris Highway, was described today by an SC philosophy professor as a thinker who went beyond his contemporaries by clearly facing the dilemmas of our modern world.
“Camus saw through problems to what was really important—the living of a life which attained an excellence on its own terms and not on the terms dictated by factors outside of itself,” declared Dr. William S. Snyder, assistant professor of philosophy.
VIEWS ON A THINKER—Dr. William S. Snyder, assistant professor of philosophy, contemplates a copy of "The Fall" by famed existentialist Albert Camus, who was recently killed in an automobile accident in Southern France. Dr. Snyder feels that Camus had remarkable ability to see and explore really important factors in living.

By JACKIE BROOKS
Anyone who thinks scientists spend all their time in their “ivory towers" should meet Dr. Kenneth O. Emery, SC professor of marine geology.
Dr. Emery combines classroom instruction with on-the-spot, or in his case, on-the-ocean training for his students.
Believing that geology is more of a field than a lab science, Dr. Emery says that firsthand experience is better for the students than spending all of their time in labs or libraries.
"The students have the use of the VALERO IV — a ship donated to the university by Capt. Allan Hancock—for their expeditions,” he said. “I divide my classes and take half of them at a time.”
Studies Sediment
Dr. Emery, who has just returned from a year’s sabbatical study in Israel, is currently interested in the study of sediments which form on the ocean floor off the coast of California.
He and his students take samples from the ocean floor and run tests on the texture and chemistry of the sediments and their inclosed organic matter.
Some of these experiments can be done on board the VAL ERO in its specially fitted lab.
"Oil companies are becoming more interested in the bottom of the sea. As land reserves of oil diminish, there is a constant need for new and more productive oil reserves,” he said.
"Companies aie looking to the ocean for these new oil fields.” Large Oil Deposits
Now about 5 per cent of California's oil comes from offshore wells. About 10 per cent of the oil used in the United States comes from the Los Angeles Basin alone.
“As the oil companies spread out to sea, more information will ■ l>e needed about the ocean. This is where the geologist comes in,” j he explained. "We learn from I the rocks and sediments on the bottom of the sea.”
To further explain this idea Dr. Emery has written a book, "Sea Off California,” which traces the origin of oil in the sea to its production on land.
There are many tiny plants called diatoms whic hare abundant in the ocean water. On death their remains fall lo the bGttom bringing organic matter and its oil-forming material to the sediment, he said.
“We try to trace the manner
in which organic matter is converted into oil. There are certain organisms present in the ocean sediment which help to change the organic matter into oil. We study the organic matter that comes from the protoplasm of these diatoms, as they are called,” he continued.
Dr. Emery also explained that some of the tracing can be done on land.
“It can be done pretty well right here in the Southern California region owing to the similarity in land structure and the ocean floor just off the coast.” Sounding Devices
Experiments at sea consist of the use of sounding devices which determine the depth of the water and the collecting of specimens of sediment which will later be tested in the labs.
“We don’t run into very much trouble on our trips,” Dr. Emery explained. “Once in a while a whale will come up along side of the boat and scratch itself. At those times we have to be especially careful so that the whale doesn't break any of our equipment which is in,the water.” _
Great Future
Dr. Emery feels there is a great future for the marine geologist. He pointed out that about SlU million has been spery just at SC in the past five years for marine research. Oil companies are not the only ones interested.
The National Science Foundation along with the Office of Naval Research and the state government has given grants to SC for this type of study.
“Depth of water is not so much of a problem now. It is a knowiedge of the sea bottom which is being learned today,” Dr. Emery said. “There will be a continued trend along this line as scientists learn what useful knowledge — knowledge that can l>e applied on land as well — can be found on the ocean floor.”
Arabian Geology To Be Discussed
Richard S. Davis, an SC graduate w'ho is currently with the Saudi government investigating and developing the water resources of that country, will speak on the “Geology and Groundwater Resources of Sau-dia Arabia” at noon today in 412 Bridge Hail.
The 41-year-old novelist and playwright died while speeding back to Paris after spending New Year’s Day in southern France. The powerful sports car in which he was a passenger skidded off the rain-smeared highway and rammed into a tree.
Dr. Snyder pointed out that Camus, perhaps better than any other writer, has been able to see through the tangled maze of problems confronting modern man.
Individual’s Problems
"These problems are foisted on the sensitive and self-conscious individual by his society and by the religious consciousness of his age.” Dr. Snyder explained.
Known as one of the first of postwar Europe’s “angry
young men,’ Comus’ writings are an expression of his existential philosophy.
‘During part of his career, Camus, as other existentialists, was concerned most deeply with the ‘ultimate’ questions concerning man and his world,” Dr. Snyder said.
Right and Wrong
The professor explained that such questions included: What is the meaning or purpose of life? Is there a God? What is the nature of right and wrong?
“As with other recent existentialists, Camus came to see that the traditional methods of philosophy and the modern methods of science could offer nothing toward solution of these problems,” he added.
Dr. Snyder pointed out that while other existentialists ¿ought various mythologies to answer these questions, Camus went beyond them.
“Some existentialists like Jaspers and Sarte took refuge in mythologies of their own invention, but Camus saw through the questions or behind the questions,” he
said.
"In a sense he saw that there were no meaningful questions of this kind at all,” Dr. Snyder added.
Compares Camus
In this respect. Dr. Snyder compared the French philosopher to the "best” in Zen-Buddhism because of his belief that “the individual has the life to live that is here before him to live.”
"To ask beyond that life for its meaning Is a meaningless question. The life that an individual lives is the life he creates, consciously or unconsciously,” Dr. Snyder said in a summary of Camus’ philosophy.
Stresses Reality
He added that Camus seemed to think that the individual had better stop confronting the universe and confront problems given him in the life that he has to live.
"Camus felt that what the individual should do is that which he must do,” Dr. Snyder concluded.
Camus, the son of a working-class iamily was born in Algeria in 1913.
He spent the early years of his life in North Africa, where he worked at various jobs — in the weather bureau! in an automobile-accessory firm, in a shopping company ! —to help pay for his courses at the University of Algiers.
After studying philosophy, Camus then* turned to journalism as a career.
Report Aroused
His report on the unhappy state of Kabyles aroused the Algerian government to action and brought him public notice.
From 1935 to 1938 he ran L’Equipe, a theatrical company that produced plays by Malraux, Gide, Synge and
Dostoyevsky.
During the war he was one of the leading writers of the French Resistance and editor of Combat, a then important underground paper.
Camus is the author of four novels, “The Stranger " “The Plague,” “The Fall” and “Exile in the Kingdom.” ’ Canius’ Plays
Severl of his own plays, including “Caligula” and “Cross Purposes,” have been published and produced.
His philosophical essays, “They Myth of Sisyphus’’ and “The Rebel,” have placed him in a pre-eminent position in modern French letters.
Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in
1957.
5 Firms to Visit Troy For Senior Interviews
Seniors seeking employment shouuld sign up for interviews with firms participating in “The Campus Visit” offered by the Vocational Placement Bureau. Mrs Florence Watts, director, announced today.
In the Campus Visit, business firms send representatives to SC to acquaint students with the company.
Jim Robitaille, counselor in charge of Campus Visit, reports that five firms will be on campus during the next two weeks.
Sign-ups are now being taken in the placement bureau at 3462 University Ave. for interviews with Carnation Company, tomor-i row Shell Oil and Ross Engineering Companies. Jan. 11, and General Motors and Moore Business Forms, Jan. 12.
Before going to the interview' the student should become familiar with the company by reading the firm's booklets in the bureau.
“One thing the student should ' understand is that he is not committing himself in the Cam-o s Visit,” Robitaille said, “it is purely exploratory on his part.’
Mrs. Watts said that signing-un for a Campus Visit is the ! first step in seeking employ-| merit. “It is the best vocational i guidance program,” she explained. “I think a student should talk with 20 or 40 em-; plovers.”
When the student is within I two weeks of graduation or has a degree, he may then apply to the Alumni Department which arranges interviews with prop-1 pectiv« employers.
“But,” Mrs. Watts cautioned,” he has to want a job then, be-: cause at that time the employer is looking for people who can go j to work.”
The unique feature of this department is that the student is eligible for its placement service for the rest of his life. If, however. he has made over $10.000 a year he applies with the Executive Department.
Students seeking part-time ■ work may apply with the Student Aid Department.
The only requirement is that he must succesfully have completed one course or be currently registred at SC.
He may apply by going lo the bureau, showing his ID card, and filling out the forms.
