The tragic story of a young boxer - violinist, whose sacrifice to materialism frustrates his inner self, yesterday proved that drama is an effective means in bringing philosophical concepts closer to reality.
The Philosophy Forum’s first of “Six Experiments in Value Conflicts” was presented yesterday at Bowne Hall to a capacity audience who watched Dr. William H. Werkmeister, director of the Sc ool of Philosophy, an alyze, interpret and discuss Clif ford Odet’s play “Golden Boy.” The philosophical problem of self-realization became a mean-

ingful concept as Dr. Werkmeister explained a scene from the second act of the play.
This scene, presented by advanced drama students Nina Shaw and Roy Sorrel, illustrated the conflicting values tormenting the play’s main characters.
“Within the action of the story we can see that whatever enhances the self is good and whatever injures it is harmful,” Dr. Werkmeister said.
Personal Satisfaction
He explained that the doctrine of self-realization is related to an individual’s developing to his personal satisfaction.
“If the choices we make realize our greatest potentialtes then our true self comes through and we find fulfillment and contentment,” Dr. Werkmeister said.
“But if we fail to realize our authentic self then we perish— literally or in the agonizing self-tortures of an unauthentic and frustrated existence,” he added
Junior Meet Slated Today
Junior class members are invited to attend an “Orientation" meeting with their class officers and ASSC student leaders tomorrow at 4 p.m. in the Graduate Students Lounge.
This Junior Class Reception program will feature a discussion of the SC political scene and student government, said President Bill Steigerwalt.
Those members of the junior class who have purchased a membership card will be admitted free to the event, said Steigerwalt. It is hoped that those w' o have not purchased their cards will be able to do so before or at the reception.
An invitation is expended- to those who have been slow * or fundless, and a nominal fee will be charged to help defray the cost of refreshments, he said.
Bobbie Furbass, junior class vice president, announced that the afternoon coffee sessions will be held throughout the year.
Miss Furbass, speaking for the junior class officers added. ‘We feel that we can better represent the Junior class as their officers if we can learn what they want from Troy, so we urge all members to be present.”
Thus the tragedy of "Golden Boy” is revealed when Joe Bonaparte, a sensitive violinist, decides to forsake his musical career for one of professional boxing.
The audience realizes the poignancy of the situation as the second act of the play unfolds.
Joe has already given up his dream of becoming a violinist and has entered the world of fighting. He fears that he will ruin his hands for the violin and cannot put his heart into fighting.
Fall in Love
His fight manager is unsuccessful in persuading him tc apply himself solely to boxing so he asks his girl Lorna Moon to persuade Joe. They fall in love, but Lorna decides to remain with Moody.
“Now another motive has been brought into this complex situation,” Dr. Werkmeister explained. “Lorna, torn between what she believes to be her obligations and her own desires, has confused self-realization with selfishness,” he commented.
Joe later kills a man in the ring and faced with the crushing realization that the choice he had made was the wrong one pathetically cries “I murdered myself.”

Departing time in San Francisco for the return trip is 12 noon Sunday, Nov. 1. It is scheduled to arrive in L.A. at 10 p.m.

“For the first time in SCs history, an entire train will be chartered just for rooters,” he boasted.	*
Further Plans Thomson is working on arrangements to have busses meet the train in San Francisco to take rooters into the downtown section of the city.
He is also trying to get busses to take Trojan fans from San Francisco to Berkeley at gametime.
The special train will be a streamline one which makes no
stops.
“It will not be available to the general public,” he said. ‘There will be as many cars on the train as needed so no one will be without a seat. All seats are reserved,” he continued.
Each car will hold 40 passengers. Thomson said that any organization may order its tickets in blocks so that the members can sit in the same car.

The senator contest, together with the re-election of an independent men’s representative, have tended to over-shadow the freshman candidates for president and vice president.
Questions and Answers At. the freshman political rally yesterday, the five presidential candidates, together with eight female vice presidential hopefuls, were questioned by a panel of student leaders as to their aims and purposes.
Dayle Barnes, senior class president; Hugh Helm, sophomore president and Chuck Everett and Bob Gough, past freshman presidents, fired pointed questions at the candidates.
Handful Attends Although only a handful of students attended the rally, the candidates confidently told of their political ideas and ideals.
Vying for freshman president are Stephen Bershad, Ken Payne, Dick Messer, Chuck Rea and Chuck Weber.
Vice presidential candidates include Judy Arnold, Judy CFumrine, Barbara Gamble. Karen Hubenthal, Oriene Klinker, Marcia Rosen, Faye Henderson and Pauline Loomos.
Tony Mendez and Allen Well are the candidates for independent men’s representative. The re-election was necessary because Well’s name had been misspelled on the spring ballot. Mendez had won the previous election.
Poll» Open
Marjorie Hirsch, elections commissioner, announced that the polls will be open between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. today and tomorrow. Balloting will take place in front of Doheny Library.

Miss Hirsch emphasized that in order to vote for independent men’s representative, a student cannot be affiliated with a social fraternity; however, she added, professional organizations are not counted.

Dr. William S. Snyder, professor of philosophy, told a Mortar Board Scholarship Conference yesterday that “getting a good education is not a matter of making good grades.” Speaking before a YWCA meeting for all scholarship chairmen of women’s organizations, Dr. Snyder dispelled any misconceptions of the essence of a good education.
He told the 30 scholarship chairmen, “People who get 3.5 averages do not necessarily get a good education; ‘B’ students sometimes get more out of a course than ‘A’ students.”
What Is Education?
Dr. Snyder posed the question, “If getting a good education is not necessarily getting good grades, than what is a good education?”
Dr. Snyder left the ultimate definition to the group, but commented, “I thiflk a good education, within the framework of liberal arts, is that which enables one to live his life fully and significantly.”
“A student may get good grades, but his education may not help him 1o live a fuller life,” he explained. “The epitome of a good education is a well-rounded education, an education through which the stu-
dent takes advantage of the cultural, educational, and social opportunities offered by the college,” he added.
Dr. Snyder said that the mechanics of attaining a good education are not as important as the attitude toward it—a scholarly attitude which approaches the business of getting educated as something important.
An attitude which determines to derive from college courses and university life "that nebulous thing we call a good education,” he said.
The theme of the conference shifted to the scholarship chairman’s basic problem — how to convince indifferent students that it is important and worthwhile to get a good education.
Doesn’t Answer "I will not attempt to give an answer; I don’t have one. I’m not sure anyone has a ready answer, he explained. "But unless you can solve this problem, you can do little to improve scholarship.”
Attending the conference witn the delegates were Mrs. Warner, head resident of EVK; Mrs. Campbell, head resident of College Park: Mrs. Schaffer, dean of women. Miss Barkley, counselor of women’s organizations, and Mrs. Grace Pascal.
