The penetration of Western culture and ethics into India will be analyzed at noon today in i the Episcopal Center by a graduate student from that Asian ■ country.
Mohinder Bedi, now studying . in the department of interna- j tional relations at SC, will dis- j cuss “Western Values in Indian Society” with the Graduate Student Discussion Group.
He is co-author, with Paul F. Langer. assistant professor of i international relations, of “The ; Diplomacy of India.”
Patterns and Force*
The question of Western pat- : terns of thought, social ideas and I industrial prowess combining with the traditional Eastern forces in India, is of extreme ¡ importance today, Bedi feels.
Episcopal Chaplain Michael ¡ Hamilton also believes that the I permeation of Western values j into Indian society is a complex problem which has far-reaching I effects and has not been given I enough attention.
Problem of Values “One of the many unsolved ¡ problems, and in many cases, unrecognized problems, is the impact of Western industrial and j social patterns upon the relig- j ious and philosophic values of ; India today,” he said.
Chaplain Hamilton believes ' that no country can integrate j some values of another culture ¡ without being affected by other values of that same culture. | “It is doubtful whether a na-
vision was eliminated. The novelty division was rut when judges d^cid^d that entries wpre more suited to other categories
Five numbers were selected for th^ mixed division, including DHta Delta Pelta-Siema Phi Epsilon's “Grandfather's Clock.” Pi Beta Phi - Delta Tau Delta’s “^ones from the Wizard of Oz,” Kappa Aloha Thcta - Pi Delta Theta’s “Ri«e Up. John Brown,” Kanpi Kappa Gamma-Phi Kappa Psi's “Sonr of the Islands” and Gamma Phi Rpta-Sigma Chi’s “Sound of Music.”
Grmios Chosen
Four sin gins:	groups were
picked to compete for the production division trophv. In this cateporv are Alpha Ph> - Alpha Tau Omega's “Japanese Medley.” Tau Kappa Epsilon-Alpha Gamma Delta’s “World War I Med-lev,” Alpha Chi Omega - Theta Xi’s “Medley from Jumbo” and B**ta Theta Pi - D^lta Gamma’s “Courtship Through the Ages.’?
Six acts will form the largest division in number — the small group division. In this section will be the Hillel Foundation’s “Israeli Songs” Delta Sigma Delta's “Let's Have a Meeting,” Alpha Chi Omega’s “Flower Drum Song." Th°ta Xi’s “Country's in the Very B^st of Hands.” Phi Mu Aloha’s “Songs for My True Love” and Stonier Hall-Harris Plaza’s arrangement, “Hey-Li-Lee.”
Sure Thing
Following a precedent established last year when Pi Kappa Alpha won the novelty trophy in the preliminary by virtue of being the only group in that division on the program, the university's NROTC delegation is a sure winner in men’s division.
As the only number in the men's division, NROTCs “Our Navy” has already clinched the trophy.
Two groups will battle for vie-

and methodologies of another culture without necessarily having to appropriate the values and motivations which provide the energy to use those new patterns,” he explained.
Good and Bad There are both advantages and disadvantages in Western social patterns and Indians must be aware of both aspects if they are to successfully incorporate both Eastern and Western patterns into their society, he said.
“Can one be selective in what one wishes to import, or is one obliged to import all the major patterns if one accepts any?” Chaplain Hamilton asked.
Bedi. a former member of the SC debating team, has been in the United States 10 years. He was president of the Students’ United Nations in 1959.
KUSC Adapts Serling Show In Production
Kappa Delta will present “The Little Old Mill” and University Hall will sing “Hallelujah.” Judging Staff Six people—none of them students— formed the staff of judges.
Two past chairmen, Sandy Quinn and Jim Stewart, were included on the staff, which also included Dr. Glenn Wilcox. Robert Linn. Arthur Brigs and Peter Montemurro.
During the judging the coffee and donuts passed around did little to break the tension as the judges analyzed and reviewed the numbers piece by piece.
Winners Notified As soon as the judging was concluded, .letters were dispatched to the winning groups to notify them of their success.
This year's Songfest program, slated for the Hollywood Bowl Saturday. May 14, wall have Miss SC as its official hostess. Miss SC will be chosen by members of the Greater Los Angeles Press Club at a Dodger Day program in May. She will be named in a special edition of the Daily Trojan.
At the meeting last night where the preliminary judging took place, each judge voiced his opinion on every number.
Judging Criteria Every act was judged from appearance and attitude, arrangement, potential and singing. Along these lines, the judges criticized and commented on the

Starring in the live production are Lowell Thomas. Hank Taylor. Len Miller. Eleanor Vade Bon Coeur and Don Sanchez.
Associate director is Ray Quiroz. Don Starr is associate producer.
The drama, a study of the compulsive drive to “success" in the competitive “organization world.' is not a story of any one company or business, said Jones.
It presents a penetrating look Into the moral compromises, ma-neuverings and inter - reacting *'natterns" woven inlo the complex struggle for power, he said.
“Patterns’’ deals with power struggles in big business, “but primarily with behavior patterns of little human beings lost in b big world—lost in it, intimidated by it. and whose biggest jot is to survive in it,” said playwright Serling.
A round-up of world news at 2:15 on the weekly “News of the World’’ program will precede th-. showing of “Patterns.”

NSA Offers World Travel At Low Cost
A more than bus-stop view of other lands is available to SC students at relatively low costs, the West Coast director of the National Student Association Travel Program, said here yesterday.
Under auspices of the NSA. students can visit Europe, the Middle East, South America and other world regions and get to “really now" the people of the countries, said Bernard Pecther in a talk sponsored by Spurs, campus service group.
As one of its services, the nonprofit organization sponsors summer “travel program s” through which American students can meet, talk with, and get to know university students in foreign countries, he said.
One such program, covering a 75-day stay in Europe and travel in six countries, costs only $895, including all transportation from New York to Europe and back, all transportation in Europe, all hotel expenses, three meals a day, theaters, concerts and operas, Petcher continued.
Under the NSA travel program, American students meet their counter-parts in foreign universities and are able to make their visit a “meaningful one.” he pointed out.
PA GROUP TO GATHER
Society Selects SC For National Meet
For the first time in its history. the American Society of ! Public Administration will stage j its national conference on a college campus—at SC.
' SC’s School of Public Administration will be host to over 1500 men and women in the field of Public Administration from: all over the nation when the conference convenes this Monday. I The conference, using the j theme of “Administrative Chal- ; leges in the Space Age.” will run j throughout Easter Week, its j final session being on Friday.
Dean Henry Reining Jr., of the Public Administration School, will act as the general chairman having served as society president in past years.
Predicts Attendance He predicted that the previous high of 1200 attending members will be broken at this session because of the tremendous interest in effective government administration in California.
The dean added that another important factor for a new attendance record will be that this is the first time the conference will be held in he West.
The program will be arranged by UCLA professor Winston Crouch.
Prof. Crouch said that the program will include a great variety of topics which are reflective of fast-moving characteristics of today's world.
Dean Reining said that one of the departures from the normal conference meetings is that the entire national conference will be the first to be planned and arranged almost entirely by local conference committees.
Outstanding Figures
Some outstanding figures in the field who are planning to attend are Ralph Roberts, administrative assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Agri culture; Marshall Dimock, New York University professor and writer of Public Administration textbooks; and Herbert. Emmerich, United Nations representa tive.
In addition, t h e re will be panels, clinics, luncheons and dinners, said Dean Reining. • Headquarters
The sessions, which will last all day, will have their headquarters in Founders Hall.

ready for occupancy by September. will be the first permanent clubhouse for the SC Faculty Club. Housing for the Faculty Club to date has been on the third floor of the Student Union.
Weekly Faculty Club luncheons have been held in the Commons, and at special occasions in Town and Gown.
Center for Faculty
The new building will provide j facilities for all forthcoming Faculty Club activities, providing in addition a center in which members can gather during the day.
Areas will be provided for the “outdoor living," so commonly attributed to California residences.
Extensive use of garden and patio areas and a parabolic aluminum sun screen placed five feet away from all glass walls will be features of the air-conditioned building.
The steel and wood structure will front 180 feet on Downey wav and be 114 feet deep.
Facilities will be provided for luncheons and banquets for Faculty Club members.
Main Dining Room
The main dining room, seating 123 persons, will have all glass window walls with a 15-foot exposed beam ceiling.
There will also be a private dining room which can be made into three smaller rooms by the use of folding walls.
Wanting to capitalize on California weather — in the realm of garden dining — the architects introduced a high, light and open structure which integrates garden and dining room. The sun screen surrounding this space lowers the air-condition-ing load and avoids draperies.
The dining terrace will be on two sides of the main dining room.

Winner in the Woods' Presented at Stop Gap
By PENNY LERNOUX Assistant City Editor
“A Clearing in the Woods” came to Stop Gap last night in what was, for the most part, a successful production that even the “unclear” parts fo the play could not overshadow.
The three other selves of Virginia, central figure of the play, were outstanding. Jackie Malouf. a freshman in drama, looked and acted exactly like the nine-year-old child with a problem she was portraying.
And a Daily Double
Anne de Rubertis as Nora, or Virginia at the age of 17. added just the right touch of sensitivity to her role. Nina Shaw’, portraying Virginia at 26. was probably the best of the three with her mature, intense portrayal of a woman who has failed in marriage.
Ken Shanks, as George, the last love interest in Virginias life, was his customary' amusing self with an added bit of cynicism that brought laughter from
the audience.
However. -Virginia herself, played by Gretchen Kane, lacked something. Miss Kane seems more qualified for the high drama type of role, not the intimate one required by ,“Clearinz ' On the other hand, it must be admitted that she injected a great deal of intensity into the character of Virginia.
Second Time’s Better George Werier as Barney, 'Tir-ginia's father, brought real life to the part in a character role that requires much intense expression. Unfortunately, he forgot his lines in a few instances and had to repeat his words.
However, he still stood out as one of the most professionally capable of the cast.
Robert Biheller, playing the role of the woodcutter, Virginia s first love interest, portrayed a beatnik part in typical beatnik fashion, managing to put into his last scene surprising warmth and emotion.
