By NITA BISS
Shady campaign practices were brought to light yesterday when three candidates for student body offices disclosed and censured dubious tactics being used by fellow office-seekers.

Astrophysicist Will Analyze Earth's Orgin
The head of the astrophysics department at Callech will analyze the whvs and wherefores of the universe at the Faculty Club’s weekly luncheon in the upstairs Commons at 11:45 this afternoon.
Dr. Jesse Greenstein will tell rluh member about the “Origin of Elemenis in ihe Universe” when he discusses the main theories of the universe’s beginnings.
The Caltech astrophysicist is a staff member of California's two main observatories atop Mt. Wilson and Ml. Polomar.
Dr. Greenstein is also a consultant to many government agencies which are concerned wilh problems of space navigation and universe study, as. for instance, 1 he Office of Naval Research and the National Science Foundation.
Dr. Greenstein's special astronomical interests lie in the area of stellar composition with primary emphasis on research on ihe comnosition of energy of dislant stars
Radio emission from inter-slcllar gas an important key to the understanding of the mysteries of outer space is also being studied by Dr. Greenstein.
In addition, the spectrum of white dwarf and subdwarf stars, relative newcomers to the stellar family, come under the watchful gaze of Dr. Green-stein’s eye.
The Caltech professor is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Astronomical Society, the Astronomical Society of the Pacif'c and the American Academy of Sciences.
He is past president of a commission on spectroscopy of the International Astronomical Union.
A versatile researcher. Dr. Greenstein has also written articles for a number of journals In the field of astrophysics. He is editor of several journals in the field and has written articles for such professional journals as Science and Scientific American.

banners which went up in “mysterious” flames early Tuesday morning.
The lone candidate for AMS president. Mike Guhin, told why Jim Harmon, junior class president h';|)cful, was not chosen blood drive chairman, disproving Harmon’s earlier statement that he was "eased out" of the position.
Banner Burned
Another office-seeker, Robert Fratkin, strongly criticized what he termed “irresponsibility” by electioneers and called for tighter administrative control.
Stefano reported that one of his campaign banners, hanging between the TEP and Acacia houses on University ave.. was puded down, drenched with gasoline and ignited about 1 a.m. ; Tuesday.
Guhin Contradicts
Although Steiano did not blame his opponent — Ken Un-macht — for the act. he attributed the banner burning to some of Unmacht’s “over-zealous” supporters.
At the same time, Guhin, now serving as greater university chairman, told the Daily Trojan that he never promised Jim Har-j mon the job of blood drive ' chairman as Harmon claimed. | Appointment Rushed
“Harmon asked me if he could have the job early last semester, but I told him it wouldn't be assigned until the spring because we work on a merit system,” Guhin said.
He explained that the blood drive was moved up on the university calendar, requiring a hurried chairmanship appointment.
“We decided to appoint Steve Feldman because he did such a great job as traffic safety chairman,” Guhin added.
Co-Cliairnianship Rejected
Guhin poinled out that* he tried to contact H a r m o n for three days to explain his choice to him but was unable to locate him.
“After Feldman was officially appointed. I talked to Jim and lold him why he did not get the job. I also offered him a sub-chairmanship, but he declined,” Guhin said.
Harmon Aware
lie added that Harmon said he didn't want to have anything to do with the blood drive because he felt it was not worth his while.
“Harmon w a s made fully aware of why he didn't get the chairmanship, and he knew this before he told the Daily Trojan that Karabian demanded Feldman's appointment,” Guhin explained.
Meanwhile. Fratkin, a candidate for social studies senator, protested against the banner burning and irresponsible campaigning.
"When any campaign reaches this stage, it is long past time (Continued on Page 2)

Philosophy Forum Scans Religion-Science Relations
By JAY BERMAN
Theologians and scientists have trouble communicating with eachother, said Dr. J. Wesley Robb, head of the department of religion, in the fourth weekly Philosophy Forum lecture yesterday.
“Theologians talk primarily to theologians and scientists talk primarily among themselves. There is not enough conversation between the two groups to bridge the gap between the natural and the supernatural faith.” »aid Dr. Robb, who is president-•lect of the newly revived SC School of Religion.
“Another disturbing fact is that each group has its own stereotypes who tend to keep the two fields at odds,” he commented.
“There are some scientists who have no interest in the field cf theology whatsoever, and there are some theologists who •hare the same antipathy toward the natural sciences,” the speaker noted.
Dr. Robb did see a wav for the two groups In gpt together, however.
"Perhaps a medium for communication may arise through a philosophy of religion in which

aie taken seriously in an attempt to develop a coherent world-view. This view could then bring into a meaningful whole the many facets of life and its possible sources of meaning,” he said.
Dr. Robb felt that many people today do not have an accurate picture of the theologian, and that this lack of knowledge
is hampering the philosophy of theology.
“The oversimplified picture of theology as static and stagnant is both untrue and unfair to the live history of theological discourse,” he pointed out.
A renewal of interest in theology within the last 20 years is indicative of more interest in religious endeavor, Dr. Robb believed.
“There is evidence.” he declared, “that interest in the philosophy of religion and empirical theology is once again emerging. Within the last 20 years there has been a renewal of interest in revealed theology.”
Dr. Robb emphasized that this j resurgence of popularity in the- 1 ology and religion may lessen
the gap between science and the religious fields.
“Both science and theology are cognitive enterprises which endeavor to explicate the meaning and significance of different dimensions of human experience. Science is concerned with an understanding of the interrelationship of the physical world in order to give meaning to the varied aspects of man’s experience of the world about him.

For the second time in two weeks, the ASSC Senate has cancelled its regular Wednesday night meeting.
President Wally Karabian said I hat no legislation has been submitted and that consequently the Senate has no proposals to consider.
Any legislation must be cleared through the Rules Committee. At present, none would be ready for a meeting tonight, he said.
In the meantime, hopefuls for seats on next year's Senate are readying their election cam-
! paiens.
The School of Business leads | the field with 14 contenders for 7 senatorial positions.
Running a close second in senatorial nominees is the social studies field with 13 students trying for the 5 seats open.
The School of Engineering has three people running for four senatorial positions.
In 1he physical sciences and mathematics area, five men will ! be battling for the one position open under 1he newly-approved ASSC Constitution.
The School of Dentistry, with two seats open, has no students trying for them. The School of Pharmacy has three students competing for two positions just as is the humanities field of study.
Cafe Owner Pins Losses On Students
By MIKE ROBINSON
To hear owner Ralph Wood talk, it’s just a matter of time before SC students carry off what remains of his Smorgasbord Restaurant on Figueroa st. —namely, the floor, roof and walls.
“W^'ve practically had to refurnish our entire restaurant due to the number of items that have been taken by students from SC,” Wood complained.
He said that the list of stolen property included salt and pepper shakers, trays, glasses and four redwood tables, (yes, four redwood tables).
Simple Solution
“The fraternities must feel that it’s easier for them to simply take them from here than to buy them,” he said. “However, they apparently forgot that someone has to pay for the things they take.*1
Wood said that his establishment only averages a net profit of 5 per cent. He pointed out that, at this rate, “every time a $2.50 fiberglass tray walks out of here we have to sell $o0 worth of hamburgers to make up for it.”
Unplanned Business
Looking over the list of items taken, Wood warned, “We're going to have to put clamps on things, although it certainiy will hurt us. When we established this location three months ago, we hoped we’d get the business from the university students, but we certainly didn’t think they'd give us this* kind of business.”
Wood said that “the other night a group of men students walktVi in, picked up a trayload of glasses and then ran out the back door.”
Not Alone
The same type of thing has been happening at Carl's and Julie’s, the Smorgasbord owner reported.
"At Carl’s,” he said, “the owner had a vase full of synthetic roses. In order to prevent them from being stolen, he had to drill a hole through the bottom of the vase and wire the roses to the table.”
Wood said that he was open to any suggestions students might have for remedying the situation and would be very anxious to see anyone who wants to talk about it.
He said that, although he didn't want to, he was forced to turn the matter over to 1he L.A. Police Department. However, even they did not know how to handle the case of the missing restaurant, he added.
Fee or Not to Fee? That's the Question

School of Architecture To House Art Contest
SC’s School of Architecture will be judging headquarters for this year's student industrial design competition sponsored by the American Society of Industrial Designers.
Students from 39 leading industrial design schools across the country have submitted designs to a panel of professionals in the annual competition. This is the largest number ever to take part in the event, and a ; record number of entries is ex-! pectfVl.
Entries for the competition must be submitted by April 15. Winners will be announced at a dinner sponsored by the Pacific Coast chapter of the ASID in Los Angeles the following week.
Each entrant will submit three projects, at least two of which must be product designs. The third project may be in another field such as packaging, architecture, display or graphics.
Among the winning designs in last year’s product design category were electric clocks, cameras, a tractor, a portable refrigerator, a pencil sharpener and an outboard motor.
Hunt Lewis, lecturer on in-dustria 1 design at SC for 11 years, is chairman of the national contest. He is a member of the firm of Lewis and Twee-die, and is a graduate in archi-
tecture from Princeton University.
For the first time, judges this year will consider representatives of advertising and manufacturing as well as industrial designers.
The board of judges will be composed of Richard S. Latham, ASID president, Henry Drey-i fuss, Jean Reinecke and Harry Greene, all ASID members.
William E. Cranston, president of Norris-Thermador Corporation, and Brian Harvey, creative director of Hixson-Jorgensen Advertising, will also participate as judges.
Designs will be judged on the basis of the creative thinking they embody, consideration given to materials and to manu- j facturing techniques, saleability j and merchandising, as well as j proficiency in presentation.
Lay Apostle To Describe Africa Work
Colleen Engelstad, member of the Catholic Lay Apostolate, will explain a group training program, which will take her to Af-I rica next year, to the Newman ; Club tonight at 8 p.m. in the Newman Center.
I The Lay Apostolate program, directed by the Rt. Rev. Monsig-nor Anthony J. Brouwers, w^as started in 1954 to prepare lay members for duties in Africa
that will help missionaries
spread the Christian faith.
Miss Engelstad is one of 20 in the current group, which assembled in Los Angeles last fall.
She supports herself by teaching at Mary Immaculate School in Pacoima during the day, while in the evening she studies subjects that range from the life of Christ to the sociology of Africa.
i Next fall the group will be sent to join 80 lay missionaries already working in West Africa. Although 'they will not direcllv teach religion, the lay apostles will work in hospitals and schools, serving as examples of Christ’s teachings.
The talk will be open to the public.
Parents Raise Funds for SC
The recently formed SC Parents Committee has reached over one-fifth of its $25,000 goal to raise financial support for the university following 13 days of collections, Chairman Herbert Nootbar reported.
The collections have been in progress since March 10, when President Norman Topping met with a group of students’ parents. At the meeting he listed the university’s objectives and the money required to meet them.
Committee workers are currently contacting 896 prospective donors from 14 cities.
Chairmen from the committees of seven cities have reported excellent progress, with $2,-325 from Pasadena the largest sum yet raised.
Beverly Hills has reported $1,-250 collected while San Marino donors have contributed $1,125.
surest way to accomplish this feat is through a positive social program for the Class of ’61.
Where the two men differ is in the implementation of this program.
Contender Stefano is pushing for a mandatory fee bill program for seniors, which would make compulsory the payment of an extra fee. amounting to $3-$5 during registration.
The fee would fall into the hands of the Senior Class and would he used to further its ac-i tivities during the year.
Additional Fee
Unmacht also wants seniors to be offered an additional fee bill, but thinks it should be an optional' arrangement, not conditioned by mandatory demands.
Both contenders for the senior presidential chair feel that a senior fee bill arrangement is necessary to place the Senior Class in a calm financial sea where the rest of their platforms—centering around a solid social program—can reach fruition.
Both Stefano and Unmacht pointed out that many other colleges and universities have found that special senior fee bill programs—where seniors are assessed an additional amount at registration—have been successful and that such a program could be successful here.
Urges Program
Stefano, urging the mandatory program, said that a non-optlon-al arrangement would make class members vitallv interested i in their class and its activities by virtue of their financial stake in it.
Unmacht thinks the senior fee \ bill can accomplish the same ! ends on a non-mandatory basis.
In the general area of social programming and planning, both candidates agreed that social ac- 1 tivities .actively participated in. would build the strongest foundation for the Senior Class structure, both before and after graduation.
Lacks Society
"What is lacking most in the present Senior Class is a strong social program,” noted Unmacht. Stefano nodded assent. The class club should be brought back in full force, proposed Stefano.
He emphasized that membership in the Club of ’61 should be based on interest and work done for the school. "It should not be restricted to people w'ho have held office.” he said.

Joining the anti-segregation movements that are currently swamping the country, SC through the U.S. National Students Association will add its protest against racial discrimination.
At the Senate's next meeting, students will he given ASSC stationery to write their Congressmen concerning their feelings on segregation, especially as it is typified in the South, said ASSC President Wally Karabian.
“We feel that in this manner we will uphold the NSA’s urging to students to support integration,” r.e pointed out.
Recent Action
The NSA staff recently sent letters to all student body presidents, campus editors and the .National Executive Committee asking them to respond to student arrests in Atlanta. The staff urged the sending of telegrams and letters of support to the student body presidents of Friendship Junior College in South Carolina and Willie Mays, president of the Atlanta University Dormitory Council.
They also suggested sending telegrams and letters of protest to Governor Ernest Vandiver of Georgia in Atlanta and Gover-
nor Ernest F. Holings of South Carolina.
A further suggestion was the passing of resolutions in student government meetings to send to Vandiver and Holings.
The sit-dow'n demonstrations against segregation, which have for the past month been breaking out in numerous Southern cities, were hit by the retaliation of officials on March 15 in four cities.
A total of more than 500 Negro students were arrested foe participating either in sit-down demonstrations or in marching demonstrations.
In Atlanta, 77 students were arrested for participating in non-violent demonstrations involving some 200 students in downtown Atlanta establishments.
Sick-bed Order
The governor, in ordering the arrests from his sick-bed, invoked a newly passed bill which makes it a misdemeanor to refuse to leave an establishment when requested to do so by the proprietor.
In Orangeburg, South Carolina. 350 Negro students were arrested when a group of 1,000 students began a march toward the center of the city.
