TROY CAMP DOLLAR DRIVE Werkmeister OPEN FOR CONTRIBUTIONS To Tell Basis
Of Tragedies
The I960 drive to finance Troy Camp opens today with a booth in front of the Student Union giving students a chance to contribute to the university-wide drive.
Chester, the unofficial chimpanzee, will show his talent for raising money when he performs for donations in front of the Student Union from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today
“Both campus organization and individual contributions are being solicited,” said Bruce Stuart, chairman of the project. “Campus groups will be asked to send at least one child to Troy Camp at Camp Buck-horn.” he said.
The purpose of the drive is to send 150 children to Trov Ca-mp, the only U.S. camp managed, financed and staffed entirely by a university student body. Last year's collection brought in S2800. This year approximately 54000 is needed, Stuart said.
“We hope that with the continued support of university groups and with more help from the other students in the university, we will be able to expand the Trov Camp operation into a major activity,” he said.
Eighty of last summer'« campers will be guests of SC at the football game Saturday. During the third quarter, service groups will pass Troy camp collection boxes through the rooting section to give students another opportunity to take an active part in helping send the children to camp.
Boys and girls chosen to go to camp are selected hv the Los Apgeles East Side Boys’ Club and the Troy I Camp Board. Only children most deserving of going and most in need are chosen to attend
“Most of them are from underprivileged homes and have never been able to go to camp before,” said Stuart. The Red Cross supplies toilet article«, clothes, shoes and other necessary articles to those campers who don’t have them.
During the last 11 years of Troy Camp’s existence more than 1000 children have spent holidays there. Camp Buckhorn, located near Idyllwild, has been the site for Troy Camp for the last three summers.
During their one-week stay the campers are given a full program of camping activities. Horse-\>ack riding, swimming, crafts, h.iking and daily devotional services are part of them.

The tragic conflict of positive values pitted against one another will be discussed by Dr. William H. Werkmeister, director of the : School of Philosophy, at today’s Philosophy Forum at 4:15 p.m. in Bowne Hall.
“Love and the Struggle for Power,” the driving forces be-' hind Maxwell Anderson's play “Elizabeth the Queen,” will be analyzed by Dr. Werkmeister in i the fourth of the Forum s "Six Experiments in Value Conflicts.” He will explore the elements ! which produce tragedy by using a scene from Anderson's play to illustrate his views.
Free Decision “Tragedy always involves freedom of decision,” maintains Dr. Werkmeister. "In order for a tragic situation to exist, the individual must be free to decide what course of action he is to follow.”
In "Elizabeth the Queen,” Lord Essex, a potential pretender to the English throne, must decide w hether he is willing to jeopardize the securtiy of the country by forcefully attempting to seize power.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that Essex is in love with the queen, Elizabeth I, but he believes he can rule England better than a woman monarch.
Conflict Resolution “The scene being presented this afternoon is a recognition scene in the sense of classic tragedy.” said Dr. Werkmeister. “It involves a resolution of the moral conflict which the char- j acters have been facing up to j this point,” he said.
In judging his • motives Lord | Essex is not deciding whether j or not to substitute good for j evil. “If that were the case the | situation would not be tragic,” j said Dr. Werkmeister.

Two of SCs debate teams ran up the highest total points in ihe tourney. Ned Taylor and Richard Perle jumped into top spot by accumulating 19 out of a possible 20 point score.
Impressive Record*
Second place point winner was Ihe team of Sue Sebastian and Mike Thorpe which had an 18 j point lotal.
During each of the four rounds of debating, teams may total five points. The points are given on the basis of the team’s ability to present a sound case, support ii and substantiate it with farts, data and speaking ability.
Superior ratines are awarded j on the basis of win-loss records and the team's ability to work as an effective speaking unit.
In win-loss records the novice SC debaters made impressive records, said Fraser.
Perle and Taylor grabbed their suDerior rating by winning four out of four rounds.
Miss Sebastian and Thorpe also emerged undefeated, totaling four wins and no loses.

A suoerior ratine also went to Lacy Snarks and Bronvvyn Anthony. They received a bye in cne round but defeated their opDonents in each of the three rounds they entered.
The other novice debate team competing for SC was that of Flinor Gold and Bet Kersten. They. too. did well, said Fraser, and wound un their debating record this weekend with two wins and two losses.

The El Camino Novice Debate Tournament is an annual speech competition for first year debaters who have had no more than one semester's previous experience in intercollegiate debating.
"More than half of the 61 teams entered in Saturday's competition were freshmen,” Fra«?er said.
“The tournament, the first of the >ear, gives the novice deleters a good chance to get the bugs out of their cases and to l>e exposed -to material from other colleges and universities,”
he said. “Essex has s.'ncerely believed that he would make a better ruler than Elizabeth.
“Elizabeth, possessing the wisdom that comes from ruling, believes that she has done the best for her people,” he continued.
The result is the classic tragedy situation. The unavoidable catastrophe necessitates a decision which will destroy a positive value.
"The confusion deeply rooted in the tragic situation itself is transferred to the universe as a w'hole,” said Dr. Werkmeister.
McGrath Asks More ID Use
All SC stiKlents are urged to ■ carry their ID cards with them so that only Trojan family members and their guests may use the university and Its facilities. Dr. William H. McGrath, assistant dean of stu-dents-men, said today.
“Occasionally it is wise to determine who is a Trojan and who is not,” Dr. 3lcGrath said. “The best method so far is for all SC students to carry their identification cards with them.”
“It is hoped that the carrying of ID cards will become an SC regulation—generated by students in their own legislative bodies.” he said.
Play Ticket Sales Go On
Ticket j are si ill available for the SC production of "Carousel.” this weekend, announced Jerry Dorter, ticket manager.
“Students can exchange coupon No. 7 in their activity books and pay 50c to see this excellent production,” he said.
Rodgers and Hammerstein have made a top-notch muusical out of Molnar's “Liliom” creating a production which has made news since its inception in April 1945.

U.S. citizens are the only people in the world completely self-assessing in their Federal in-| come tax payments, Dana Lath-[ am, U.S. Commissioner on Inter-, nal Rev enue, said here Thursday.
Latham was at SC to speak I to 500 attorneys and account-i ants at the 12th annual Insli-tule on Federal Taxation at SC’s School of Law.
Eighty billion dollars in federal income tax have been collected annually for the past three fiscal years, he said, and added that the government's expectation to receive more this year may be affected by the steel strike.
Biggest Problem
“Our biggest problem is to try to administer the law on a fair and equitable basis and convince the taxpayers that we are trying to do a good job and not being arbitrary,” Latham said.
With more than 400 million pieces of paper to process cach year, modernization of handling of paperwork is one of our biggest problems, he said.
“A pilot installation will be in partial operation near Atlanta in 1961 and we hope to have the nation mechanized in its entirety by 1969,” Latham added.
This will assist in enforcement and will pay for itself by bringing in more money.
Shorter Forms Since it is impossible for the government to know the type of income of each of its 60 million taxpayers, newer and shorter forms are always being introduced to make things easier for the public, he explained.
Forty million persons already use a short form, and a new two-page form will be used by another 17 million taxpayers , this year.
Junior High Kids Face Think' Test
Creative thinking abilities of junior high school students will be tested in a new' educational research project by the University of Southern California, it was announced today.
Dr. J. P. Guilford, professor of psychology, will direct the two-year study with a grant of $39.956 from the U.S. Office of Education.
About 700 students in a Los Angeles junior high school will be given six hours of written tests in mid-November to see if they have the same differentiated abilities as adults.
Dr. Guilford and a staff of SC psychologists are pioneers in resea rch on creative thinking. They started 10 years ago to test Air Force and Naval officers for their flexibility, fluency, and original it y.
Creativity has never been studied by the same methods below ihe adult level, however, Dr. Guilford said he hopes after the junior high s'chool research 10 extend his study down to the sixth and then to the third grade.
“We are sure there are many gifted children without a high IQ who have creative thinking ability,” he said. “The standard IQ test is limited in the number of aptitudes it can measure.
“The pace of life is so fast and the need for new ideas is so great that we need to discover more creative people earlier in life.”

apart,” the Massachusetts Democrat told a capacity audience in Bovard Auditorium.
Kennedy pointed out that educating students for government positions would be putting education to one of its best possible uses.
“The duty of scholars — educated men and women — is to submit themselves to the self-discipline of self-government and to give the world the benefits of their education,” the senator said.
He explained that America’s first great leaders were Amer-ica’s first great politicans and cited the versatility of Thomas 1 Jefferson — politician, president ' and scholar.
“In our foremost times, our ; foremost scholars were our fore- j most politicians.” he declared.
Politics I ndésirable Field The link between American scholarship and politics remained j strong for half a century and i encompassed such figures as Ralph Wfaldo Emerson. William i Cullen Bryant and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, he said. * Kennedy held that people to- j day insist upon making politics ' an isolated and undesirable field, i "While most American mothers still want their favorite sons to grow up to be president, they don’t want them to be politicians first.” he reported.
He told the audience of students. faculty and administrators that when President Eisenhower was asked how he liked the game of politics he replied. “Being president is a fascinating experience. but I have no liking for politics.”
Broaden Horizon«
Kennedy further explained that college graduates should give part of their life to politics at some critical time.
“We need men and inmen who can easilv ride over th® broad fields of knowledge and transfer them to political life.” he main-taned in his appeal for educated politicians.
The senator said he did not advocate giving three times as many votes to college graduates the way the Belgians did in the 1800s “until more Democrats go lo college.”
He also pointed out that the purpose of freedom is to permit the development of whole individual resources.
“It is essential that our horizon« be broadened if we are to continue as the defenders of freedom,” the senator added.
Aid to Africa Kennedy cited the African situ- ! at ion as one of the trouble spots ! which might jeopardize this free- j dom.
“We have no conception of the complexities of life in Africa 1 although I believe that most| Americans are sympathetic to | the desires of the African peo- ! pie,” he said.

politics and the world of ★ ★ ★ Instructors Say Kennedy Will Lose His Bid
By BARBARA EPSTEIN
Several reasons why Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) would not be the Democratic candidate for U.S. President, were voiced today by two SC professors.
Dr. Ivan J. Kubanis. a political science professor, and Dr. Paul Saltman, biochemist faculty adviser to the Trojan Democratic Club, both gave their opinions on Senator Kennedy's chances for the November Democratic Convention nomination.
Dr. Kubanis cautioned the public against confusing Kennedy’s sudden stride into the spotlight with his chances of being nominated in the November Democratic convention.
“The convention delegates are not solely guided by public opinion polls or by the frequency of mention in the mass media of communication.” he said.
A Top Contender Dr. Saltman felt that Senator Kennedy had fallen a little in his estimation because the Mas-j sachuetts senator had failed to j take a firm stand against Mc-I Carthy a few years back.
“There is no need for militancy any more.” he said.
However, he maintained that Kennedy will definitely be one of the top contenders for the nomination.
Both men said that they would not take a guess as to the Democrat's final nomination.
One of the main complaints the SC professors had against the present, political situation in both Republican and Democrat camps, was that political issues are falling with a dull thud on the ears of an apathetic American citizenry.
Need Public Interest “I am appalled by the apathy of the American public to politics.” said Dr. Kubanis.
If the United States is to become a politically dynamic nation the average citizen needs to improve his political performance considerably, he declared.
“Instead of attributing all the faults of our politics' svstem to the work of politicans, the average citizen should make if his business to find out something about government and political party policies.” he said.
Dr. Kubanis pointed out that one of the symptoms of this political mediocrity is the failure of the two main parties to build their election campaigns on basic issues.
Assemblyman Bares Tricks Of California Political Trade
By JUDY FRIEDM’AX
Practical aspects of modern politics were aired by California Assemblyman Joseph C. Shell, an SC alumnus, yesterday when he addressed two general studies classes.
Assemblyman Shell, a Republican, told of the practical maneuvering of state legislature members, a story not usually explained in textbooks.
“I eliminated the opposition to a bill I was working on by merely asking an opposing state senator to handle it for me in the Senate.” he declared, explaining some of the political tricks used in the legislature.
Another practical aspect of politics is to gain control of the legislative committees, he said.
“Most of Ihe work on bills is done by comiV.it tees,” he ex-
