pespite the Executive Cabinet's admission that the senior j clâss presidential election had
been unconstitutional, 1he body ruled that because both candidates had accepted the outcome of the election, there would be no rerun.

A former SC student who just graduated from NYU on a Root-Tilden fellowship, Murray Bring, will serve as clerk to ! Chief Justice Warren.
“This is an extremely high honor for any Law School graduate." he said.
Other Root-Tilden winners in- j elude former campus leaders i Larrv Sioes and Gregg Taylor, j Sipes will work in the law firm of Thomas Dewey this summer, while Taylor will work for Ad-lai Stevenson.

claimed, made up the total number of ballots from which the majority is derived.
The protesi continued to say that the election official said that after he and the other workers had counted the ballots, a number of ballots—a number j large enough to prevent either candidate from having a majori-j ty—were destroyed.
The statement also revealed that people had told her the polls had been closed prior to the established time of 4 p.m., and that at least one person had been denied the privilege of voting because of this.
In a statement to the Board of Inquiry, the protest urged “that these, and other questionable facts concerning the election, definitely demand investigation, and that a recount of the ballots is in order.”
Marked Ballots
When informed of the latest protest, Elections Commissioner j Eddie Tannenbaum said there had been a total of 719 marked ballots cast. This would give Sharon Kelly the majority by | one ballot.

Political Scientist Calls for Heart In Foreign Policy

Psychological Designs Aid Clearing Actors
An Indian student who is attending classes at SC said yesterday that the Russians, relatively new at the game of diplomatic relations, are doing a far better job in dealing with foreign peoples than the Americans are.
Manu A. Ojha, a graduate student in business administration, told of his personal experiences \vith the American and Russian consulates in India after hearing Dr. Eugene Burdick's lecture on “The Invisible Bottlenecks in Foreign Policy.”
Ojha said that the American consulate did not seem basically concerned with the Indian people who could not serve some useful purpose to their political and propaganda interests.

He said that the Soviet attitude was more democratic since they tried to reach everybody and were very careful in deal-As- ; ing with all people who came J to them.
“There is no doubt that the American nation is searching for an economic and political foothold all over the world,” he said.
“But, they seem to have no idea how to go about doing it even though they spend billions of dollars in good will," he added.

Kennedy Win in Wisconsin Jars Nixon—Dr. Anderson
By PUNXV LKRXOIX Assistant City Edi'or
The victory of Sen. Jchn F. Kennedy of Massachusetts in Wisconsin’s vital Democratic pi i-mary election will ha\c far-reaching significance for Nixon end Humphrey, as well as Kennedy, Dr. Totton J. Anderson, SC professor of political science, said today.
A majority of the state-wide vote and six of ton congressional districts were bundled up and delivered lo Kennedy, a’ongwjih 2d of 30 votes for the Democratic national convention next summei.
Sen. Humbert H. ♦iumpbrey of Minnesota totalled 319.736 votes to Kennedy's 391.040. while Nixon lagged behind with 30R.9R4.
“For Kennedy, the election results are significant because they will hi lp him in the bandwagon elect he is trying to u e t»» push n.imelf iiuo the winner’s crlde at the co.v.ing noan-n.it ion convention,” Dr. Ander-SOil says.	|

’ The Wisconsin primary w as also a test of Catholic voting ; strength for Kennedy. Although there were only a number of limited Catholics involved and the ' stale's primary makes it i particularly easy to cross party lines, the indication from the vote is favorable to Kennedy.
“For example, many Catholics w ho are Republicans voted for ; Kennedy." the political science professor said.
In addition, the fact that Wisconsin is a farm state is important to Kennedy. The discontent of the Republican farmers, shown through their voting for Kennedy and Humphrey, may be indicative of the trend in other farm states, he said.

Dick Anderson, a senior in communications who is in charge of costume designs for the play, says that the costumes used for Virginia, central figure of the drama, will correlate with her emotional and physical development.
Plot Obscure
“Bocause the play is basically intangible, I have tried, through my designs, to bring out a tangible or third dimension quality to help the audience understand the drama’s meaning.”
The play’s sets, which are essentially realistic, are being done by Dennis Wakeling, who is trying to transmit a semi-realistic, semi-fantasy type of setting.

More wood will be added to the controversial fire burning under Caryl Chessman and his fight against capital punishment at tonight's meeting of the Presbyterians on campus.
Dr. J. Wesley Robb, head of SC's department of religion, will lead a discussion centering around “Christ, Capital Punishment And Chessman” in the Presbyterian-Episcopal Center at 6:30 tonight.
The Rev. Charles W. Doak, Presbyterian university pastor, noted that the Presbyterian Church opposes capital punishment and that tonight’s discussion will seek to explain “why and where we st;ind as thinking Christian citizens.”
of drama. Anderson previously designed the costumes for the SC production of “Waltz of the Toreadors,” “Carousel" and “Rashomon.”
Wakeling, who has been stage manager for many campus opera productions, most recently worked on “Othello." Costello did the lighting for “Rashomon" and the “Second Shepherd Play" at SC.
“A Clearing in the Woods" is | the psychological story of the life of a young woman, who is telescoped from a multitude of single moment through the med-times and experiences into a ium of fantasy.
Central Players
It shows Virginia, the central ' figure, at different stages in her life and the various unhappy experiences she has had with men. Her problems, which culminate | in a near nervous break-down, J stem from the fact that she is | unable to know and accept herself realistically.
These men are all phantoms of her present mind, or realities j of Ihe past, and they weave in and out of her thoughts in various phases of conflict, failure and misunderstanding.
Her initial retreat from real- | ity begins in her childhood when her father rejects her because he can only give his love to her mother.
Brief Affair
At 17 she has a brief affair j with a woodcutter to “prove herself,” but this only leads to a further sense of rejection and unhappiness, culminating in a marriage with a college hero that dissolves in divorce.
She then becomes emotionally involved with a hospital worker. However, this relationship also fails because Andy, the hospital worker, cannot live up to Virginia’s unrealistic sense of per fection.

of good will.
He added that the U. S. Consulate does not speak Indian, only English.
“Language is one of the basic factors for understanding people and their culture.” he added.
He said that it was hard to understand the American viewpoint because the official policy of state, the unofficial statements of the American people and the good-will propaganda missions usually conflict in ideas and ideologies.
“Foreign policy is as much a matter of the heart as it is of the pocketbook.” said the nationally known political scientist at a special university convocation.
Dr. Burdick, associate professor of political science at the University of California at Berkeley, cited three “invisible bottlenecks" which are clogging American foreign policy today.
One such bottleneck is the popular misconception that the rest of the world wants to be made over in the American image, he said.
Xot Weapons
A second stopper to a positive foreign policy is the belief that “military weapons, missiles and know-how alone” are enough to stop Communism in the world today, he continued.
Finally, the desire of other countries to learn the secret of American productiveness is often ignored by United States diplomats. Dr. Burdick pointed out.
“By imposing our image of a bright, shining, technical industrial society on people, we are not performing an act of service but an act of arrogance,” he said.
Simple Devices
Many underdeveloped countries are not ready for the type of technical aid the United States is giving them, he added.
“What they need are simple, easy-to-use time-saving devices, not highly advanced machines which need technically trained workers to operate them," he continued.
Such a country may be a-ble to use that type of aid in the near future, but when it comes to them now it becomes nothing more than an insult, Dr. Burdick said.
Another insult created by a misguided United States foreign policy is concentration on military aid, he declared.
Improve Conditions
Dr. Burdick, who has traveled extensively throughout Southeast Asia, said that other countries want above all. education for their illiterate masses, improved health conditions, larger agricultural yields, more recreational facilities and more firmly stablized political systems.
They do not see military security against Communism as one of their pressing problems, he said.
Yet, the United States gives top priority to military aid and almost ignores other areas, Dr. Burdick pointed out.
“We can have enough thermonuclear weapons to destroy

Schools Neglect of Religion Promotes Nonbelief—Robb
American public schools are ; making students atheists because they are afraid to teach ' religion on the academic level, j declared Dr. J. Wesley Robb, | head of the SC department of j religion yesterday.
“Religion can and must be taught on an academic plane if we are to avoid the sorry spectacle witnessed during the Korean War when American pris-j oners of war succumbed to Communist propaganda,” said Dr. Robb in a speech at the Faculty Club's weekly luncheon.
Little Knowledge
American students today know nothing about religion and its contributions to Western culture because nowhere in their high school education are they ex-| posed to competent instruction in it, he pointed out.
“We are indirectly teaching them, atheism by our silence,” he said.

school students. They should be taught by educators who are
well versed in the intellectual complexities of religion, Dr. Robb maintained.
“The issue is so grave that we must immediately make a place for an academic treatment of religion in our educational system,” he said.
The issue has become an educational “hot potato” and is currently being debated by ed-ucators, administrators and clergymen throughout the country, he pointed out.
Even students themselves are asking for objectively taught courses in religion, Dr. Robb said.
“Such courses could be w'ork-ed into public education via the seminar method in which specialists in religious theory would conduct seminars for high school seniors,” Dr. Robh suggested.
Plan Successful
Some have been tried already and have been very' successful, he said.
Other methods, too, may ba worked out, he added.
