Secretary Explains University Senate
Bv BARBARA EPSTEIN
Dissolution oi standing committees on the University Senate, the chief faculty advisory body to the administration, need not inhibit senatorial ideas, the organization’s secretary said yesterday.
Dr. John L. Mohr, professor of biology at SC, believes
that a closcr alignment of university committees to the University Senate body will allow faculty on the Senate to develop any plans and suggestions they might have.
lie told the Daiiy Trojan that the biggest change in the operation of the University Senate this year lies in a closer working between the Senate and the university committees.
“University committees will now be receiving their charges lroin the president through the Senate or from the Senate through the Executive Committee of the Senate.”
At present, the Executive Committee and the Rules Committee are the only two standing committees on the University Senate. All others were dissolved in Senate action two ¿ears ago.
Study Areas
University committees, which ; study and investigate areas of j current importance to university \ developments and advancement, i are broadening their contact ! with the University Senate to I compensate for the loss of the ! standing committees, sa|d Dr. Mohr.
“Most of them will report back to the Senate either at the i same time, or before they report j to the president,” he explained, i
“The president seems to have j real recognition of the need for university committees to function closely with the Senate,” i added the newly-elected secre- 1 tary.
Two-l'ear Term
Dr. Mohr is now serving a two-year term on the University Senate; his duties as secretary will take up a year of that term.
Before taking a year's sabbatical leave from 1957-1958, Dr. Mohr served on the University Senate for two and a half years, during the period that standing committees were active and permanent.
He said that during those years enthusiasm among faculty senators for inauguration of new ideas and plans ran high.
Excitement Aura
“I hope that aura of excitement is returning,” Dr. Mohr said.
He said he had the feeling at the last Senate meeting that any obstacles to the Senate's work w ere now removed.
"Our actions will have to be 1 the basis of any judgments of our w ork.” Dr. Mohr maintained.
The loss of the standing committees has given many Senators the feeling that their role has become one of only listening, ; and relatively little action, he continued.
This opinion was also express- i ed yesterday by Dr. John W. ! Reith, head of the department | of geography and former member of the University Senate.
“Individual faculty members | can never get anywhere on their 1 own.
Philosopher To Present Science Views
Science in the 20th century as seen through the eyes of an SC philosopher will be discussed today at the second Philosophy Forum of the semester.
Dr. Gordon F. Matheson, assistant professor of philosophy, will tell “The Meaning of ‘Science’ in the Twentieth Century” at 4:15 p.m. in Bowne Hall, Mudd Memorial Hall of Philosophy.
Speaking on the forum’s theme, “Science and Man,” Dr. Matheson will “attempt to give an outline of the logical analysis of empirical science.”
Aim of Science
“I will emphasize that the aim of science is to establish general laws and theories, whereby observable phenomena may be explained,”' he said.
Dr. Matheson is the second forum speaker of the 60th semiannual series.
Since Wilbur H. Long spoke on “The New Science of the 16th and 17th centuries,” last week. Dr. Matheson hopes to explore the 20th century science, this week.
“Accordingly, I will discuss oriefly the nature of a theory, the manner in which it is established and the way in which it is used in explanation,” he said.
Nature of Theory
Dr. Matheson explained that the nature of a theory is the first in its modern cycle.
“The manner which establishes that theory and the way that theory is used in explanation follow this initial step.”
Dr. William H. Werkmeister, director of the School of Philosophy, said that the lecture series will commemorate the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Royal Society in England and the 350th anniversary of two treatises on astronomy.
‘These two treatises—Kepler’s ‘New Astronomy,’ and Galileo's ‘Sidereal Messenger’ — are extremely important for modern science,” Dr. Werkmeister said. Epoch-Making
“Each was, in its own way, an epoch-making event, contributing to the rise of modern science that has been the predominant feature of our own era.”
“The current series,” he explained. “started last week by Dr. Wilbur H. Long, professor of philosophy, will consider the impact of the scientific movement on various aspects of the spiritual life of the West.”

Franklin Feels 3-Mile Sea Limit Needed
* Retaining the present international three-mile territorial sea limit instead of expanding it was declared a necessity by Dr. Carl M. Franklin during a recent Pacific Southwest regional conference on international law at
jsc.
Dr. Franklin, professor of international law and vice-president for financial affairs at SC. said that the three - mile limit would leave the high seas, the world's greatest common resource. more open to the use of all nations.
“The three - mile limit, which has been in effect for more than thi'ee centuries ,may be increased to six miles at the second I United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea, which will open in Geneva on March 17,” he pointed out.
Problems of security, fishing, recovery of offshore oil and international transportation are involved in the territorial sea I question. Dr. Franklin said.
Europe Modern, Charming Reports English Professor
By JO ANN MADRON
The chief disturbance between modern Europe and Europe 30 years ago is that there are many more people and much more industrialization. said Dr. William C. Templeman, English department chairman.
“Europe and the British Isles retain their charming landscapes of the civilizations of earlier centuries,” Dr. Templeman said yesterday remembering experiences in Europe during his sabbatical leave last semester.
In 1926. Dr. Templemtn participated in a 10-week tour of the continent and the British Isles with the Bureau of University Travel in Boslon. He spent two months at the library' of the British Museum in 1930 as a travelling fellow from Harvard University.
British Museum
List semester Dr. Templeman returned to the British Museum In London to study the critical reception of Lord Alfred Tennyson's poetry in the books and r>e\vspaf>ei's of that library.
Th- study was for a continuation of a publication Dr. Templeman wrote — “Tennyson's ‘Locksleys Hall’ and Thomas Carlyle.” published in 1 9.1f» b y the University of North Carolina Press.
He also did studies on the

prose of Matthew Arnold while he was at the library.
“Before beginning the study work in the library, I took my family with me to visit many literary shrines in England and Scotland,” said Dr. Templeman.
I
r “Among these were, of course, Cambridge and Oxford Univers-sities. We also visited the homes 'of Sir Walter Scott and Thomas Carlyle in Scotland.”
Dr. Templeman and his family saw the homes of Wadsworth, Dickens. Shakespeare. Dr. Samuel Johnson and John Galsworthy.
He also visited Carlyle’s London home and John Keats' home, Hampstead Heath.
Canterbury Weekend
“One weekend we went to Canterbury and another to Salisbury to see the cathedrals. We visited Stonehenge to see the great stone monuments from the sun - worshipping days in Britain and saw some of Ihe country presented by Thomas Hardy
in his novels,’ ’said Dr. Templeman.
The professor and his wife left Los Angeles in August and made
an automobile tour of the European continent.
They took their sons. John and Billy, their daughter Connie and Judy Webster, a hich school classmate of Connie's. The two girls are now first semester freshmen at SC.
Described in Poetry
,“The places we visited on the continent include many described i in English and American poetry I and prose.” said Dr. Templeman.

| The chairman of the SC piano j department said that if teach-I ing is not. the paramount thing | at a university, a situation will : arise like that at SC's sister j school, University of California, Berkeley.
Faculty Stars
“I know that it is very often true that you will have many publishing or performing faculty stars that the students never see, who dress the university bulletin,” he said. “And you ought to check how many times they even come to campus.”
He said that to his.knowledge it is not an SC administrative policy to advance people purely on the basis of publication.
Crown, winner of two academy awards for his fiimed musical achievements, explained that in the School of Music, performance is considered the equivalent of publication.
Glamorous Names
However, he warned that a university must not hire ’’glamorous names” instead of hiring the fine teacher who will publish only if he has something worthwhile to say.
“You see, it is not a question of publication or performance alone, but a' question of the quality of the work. If the evaluation is on quantity and not on quality, I can see no value to it at all.”
Crown explained that he
thpught there was a considerable amount of academic regurgitation cf unimportant materials.
Measure Again
“It's a measuring and a remeasuring and a remeasuring once again of something that has been measured by five people before of which there is no true creative effort,” he said.
The pianist pointed out that a cold-blooded manipulator could publish a good deal of utterly valueless material and another person might not have published at all and yet be a very valuable teacher.

Eleven constitutions from ma-! jor fields of study were approved,
I pending revisions by the ASSC | Executive Cabinet, yesterday, leaving eight fields still to take the first step toward organization.
ASSC President Wally Kara-bian has extended the deadline for constitutions “for those fields which are earnestly desirous of becoming organized, and have valid reasons for not meeting the March 4 deadline.”
Deadline Demanding
Karabian noted that although j the deadlines set for the organi- I zation of the fields may seem “demanding,” they are necessary | if the ASSC elections are to | take place on the designated | dates of March 30 and 31.
“We now must have roll calls j of the memberships of the fields that have submitted constitu- I tions, so that their number of j Senators can be determined,” I Karabian said.
Two Fields
Two fields—Architecture and : dentistry—have already submitted roll calls to the Executive Cabinet, putting themselves one I jump ahead of the other fields.
Karabian asked that ea'h field ! turn in four copies of its roll call.
Because of the lack of time remaining before elections, the | Executive Cabinet is accepting all constitutions submitted, pro-i viding that the fields comply j with the recommendation made by the cabinet that all constitu-j tions conform with the ASSC j Constitution.
Reviewed by Cabinet
Most of the constitutions re-I viewed by the cabinet passed I with only minor revisions. In-j eluded in this category were the | constitutions from the fields of ; public adminisi ration, m a t h e -! matics and physical sciences, humanities, dentistry, social studies. health, P.E. and therapy, architecture and engineering.

Eddie Tannenbaum. director of elections, said that Kaye will probably be able to run on th* ballot if he is eligible. Although the deadline was Friday, Tannenbaum said that he will not submit the petitions until later this week.
When asked why he did not submit a petition by Friday's deadline, Kaye replied, “I simply wasn’t aware of the fact that petitions had to be in by that time.”
Irregular indication
According to Kaye, the irregularity of his way of announcing his ambition to run is an indication of things to come. His in-ten t ion was such well kept secret that not even his fraternity brothers knew about it.
He said that his campaign would i*e "interesting and very strange. It should oe real offbeat with a lot of surprises.
“I personally would like to sef two names on the ballot. It seems to me that this would generate a lot more spirit in the election,” he said.

Kaye would not reveal any of the plans for his “interesting and very strange” campaien. nor would he comment on his plans should he be elected.
He said only, “I have some pretty different ideas about student government at SC. and I think they'll have some good support.”

Professor Claims Sabotage In Cuba; U.S. Is Innocent
Today's Weather
I.lt tie change In temperature was predicted today following yesterday’» high of Vi. High for today will be about 68 degrees. Continued fog in the early morning hours followed by hazy sunshine in the afternooii is the outlook.

The recent Havana dockside munitions disaster was the result of sabotage—but not by the United States, says Dr. Paul E. Hadley, SC associate professor of international relations.
The disaster occured when a cargo ship loaded with Belgian munitions blew up in the Havana harbor last Friday, spreading flames and death across the waterfront.
An American photographer, who was a passenger on the ship,
was detained 72 hours by Cuban police as Prime Minister Castro angrily charged the disaster to
be a plot of U.S. officials who have tried to halt arms shipments to his government in the past.
Not I’.S. Inspired
‘The sabotage plot was certainly not inspired by US. officials. More likely, it was planned by antagonists of the Castro regime. specifically Batista partisans or followers of Prio Soc-caras,” Dr. Hadley says.
Batista is the recently ousted
military dictator of Cuba now
living in the Dominican Republic. Prio Soccarras, ex-president of Cuba, and one-time friend of Castro, is currently residing in
Miami. Both would like to overthrow th« present regime and

return to power.
“The American government
doesn't work through sabotage. If it was going to do any ‘intervening’—which it is not— it would be in the open,” Dr. Hadley points out.
Propaganda Value Castro's accusation of U.S. sabotage was circulated mainly for propaganda value, possibly to unite internal forces in the country behind him in the face
of a common “enemy,” he says.
“The whole situation appears to be unplanned but quite use-able by Castro for his anti-American attacks, which are all part of the general fanatical trend of the Castro regime.
“Things may even get to the point where the U.S. will be blamed for every incident th?t occurs, even before any investigation takes place.” the professor says.
It is true that a good deal of sabotage has emanated from American soil, but these saboteurs are either Cubans or American partisans of Castro. They are definitely not representatives of the U.S. State Department, he feels.
Can't Prevent Movement
"The present administration in Cuba does have the.right, of course, to expect us to enforce our laws which prevent revolutionary movements against other countries from flourishing in the U.S.
“However, It is practically impossible to curtail this kind of activity. The government can arrest scores of people, can screen airports and harbors, but these /novements can still occur.
For instance, you never know if the man who charters a plane to the Bahamas isn’t going to (Continued on Page 2)
