Ducat Sales Scar Past
66.000 Mark
Ticket sales for Saturday’s SC-UCLA game have climbed to 66,000, the Coliseum ticket office reported today.
Selling of reserved seats for the annual football squabble between the Trojans and the Bruins has been on the upswing since early this week.
Last week SC students exchanged their activity book and | parses for tickets to the game. These tickets will admit Trojans to the rooting section, focal point of SC half-time card stunts.
Few Reserved Seats All other reserved seats for the traditional football contest between SC and UCLA must be purchased from the Coliseum ticket office. Only 1500 more reserved seats are available, the Coliseum reports.
Once these are sold, 36,000 general admission spaces will be available. Observers at both universities are predicting that the turnout for the game will be the biggest in recent years.
The tw’o ball clubs played to their biggest crowds in 1953. That year there were 93,878 in the Coliseum to w^atch a Bruin Rose Bowl team top the Trojans 17-7.
SC and UCLA have discarded their former policy of selling every seat in the Coliseum at $3. General admission tickets will be sold at $3. Price to servicemen will be SI.50, while h'gh school students can see the game for $1.
The general admission section will stretch from Tunnel 4 to Tunnel 23 in the east end of the bowl.	\

Long Gives Last Speech Of Series
By BARBARA EPSTEIN
Man must look for the good in life if he hopes to find a reason for living, an SC philosophy professor declared yesterday in the last of the Philosophy Forum's 'Six Experiments in Value Conflicts.”
“Unless we can justify life here and right now we can never justify it,” said Dr. Wilbur H. Long to an audience that had just seen the dramatic enactment of a suicide resulting from a selfish, purposeless, existence.
C’ailosisness Disturbs “I am disturbed about the callousness with which, we contemplate people getting knocked about.” he said. “There seems tu be a trend toward violence and ihe» spectacular as a substitute for real knowledge and good.” He pointed to Henrik Ibsen's psychological drama “Hedda Gabler,” written at the turn oi the century, as an example of the Nihilist school of thought which views the world and man as wort’.less.
General Philosophy “This is a general philosophy or way of looking at things, according to which it makes no real, important difference whether or not it wiped man off the face of the earth,” said Dr. Long.
He said he despaired over this type of thinking where man and his goals seem to have no meaning.
“We are faced with the spectre of Nihlism and that is a very horrible thing to contemplate,” he continued.
Hedda Gabler The Nihilist doctrine is embodied in the personality of Hedda Gabler, the central character of the Ibsen play dramatized at ihe Forum.
“Hedda has no philosophy■; she does not really believe in the world; she has no spiritual vision of the good.” he exp’ained. “She believes only in herself—herself exclusively — until the final moment of disillusionment and destruction.”
The final scene of the play was enacted tw advanced drama students Nina Shaw, A1 Cruse. Ellen Elliott and Richard Lang Jr., under the direction of John Blankenchip, assistant professor of drama.
Takes Life
In it. the audience saw Hedda take her own life when the ruthless plans she had formu- j lated in driving a man to self- j destruction failed to materialize to her satisfaction.
Hedda, disgusted with mediocrity in any form, a rebel against the' middle class tastes and manners of her contemporaries, their social conventionalities and romantic sentimentalities, found the prospect of dominating an idealistic man as the only goal worth pursuing. said Dr. Long.
“At the end, when her house of cards collapses, she is unable to look at herself in the light of conscience or moral order.” said Dr. Long.
Club to Hear Robb Today
“Religion a n d Philosophy," will be the topic of Dr. J. Wesley Robb, dean of rrli"-on. when hp addresses the phito'jopVij' Club Arganought Ilall.
Dr. Robb will explain how closely the fields of religion and plvlosophy are related.
Persons from all-university departments are invited to attend Ihe noon meeting, said Dr. William H \verkineistfer. liiicocor of me School of Philosophy.
He explained that que~.(ion$ j discussed at the weekly meetings are designed to acquaint the j layman with philosophy and still l-»f> comprehensive enough to ab- i sorb the philosopher major.
16-Page Document Not To Be Debated
By JOE SALTZMAN Daily Trojan City Editor
Armed with a new ASSC constitution ready for tonight’s extraordinary Sehate meeting, President Wally Karabian will add the final touches to his proposed “new government” in a special presidential committee meeting today at 2:30 p.m. in his office.
The constitutional revision
committee, headed by Parlia-i mentarian Gary Dubin, will meet with Karabian to show him ! the final 16-page constitution.
Read Tonight
The constitution will be read to the Senate at tonight's meeting. but not debated.
According to the present constitution, a “constitutional amendment or revision” must first be read at one Senate meeting and not discussed until the next regular Senate meeting.
The next regular meeting is scheduled for Dec. 2.
Chairman Dubin said that the new constitution completely re-. vises the present senatorial structure!
System Changed
“The representation system ; will be changed as well as the j number cf senators sitting in the igiouo,” Dubin said.
“The new constitution will place more power with the executive officers of the school.” he I continued. “It will allow more representative student government and ooen up new’ channels for interested students who wish to enter into student government.”
“The method of election will also be changed." he added. “So ; will the qualification«: for office, ! the powers of the individual sen- ! to Karabian ators. the organization of the i plication of Senate and even the procedures for meeting.’’
Separate Powers
Dubin said that the executive leaders will have separate ■powers. and emphasizes that the new ; constitution wU certainly be in j line with Dr. Norman Topping’s ideo of “academia.”
“Bas^eUy it is an attempt to successfully mob’lize student j opinion so it c-n more effective- I ly exprès«; itseK in nuest’ons qon- i earning thp univers;tv with the | administration and faculty.” the parliamen+irian said.
Morp Power
“It will place mo-e power w ;th the executive orfieer« of the cchool who arp e'ected by a majority vote of the general student body.” Dubin added.
President Karabian had already fired a f've-ooint aitac'-against the basic structure of
the present ASSf Senate, in it.

Two ASSC Senate positions are nour open for any volunteer who meets the requirements, announced President Wally Karabian today.
Taking out time from hi.s new student government program, Karabian asked for two people to fill the positions of NSA Coordinator and Special Events Promoter.
NSA Coordinator, a position recently lett vacant by the resignation of Bob Chick.' Blue Key President, is the official campus representative of the National Student Association.
Uason Officer “The Coordinator handies foreign travel programs, inte -school libraries and he acts as •liasion officer between the student Body and the national executive committee," Karabian said.

It is open to any man or woman interested in doing public relations work for the university.
“The purpose of this office is to create in the student body a position in which special events would receive adequate publicity.” Karabian said.
“Anyone chosen would ha\e to show’ a great deal of interest in his university,” he added. Handles Many Activities Not only student government but various other fields of stu-
