DIVINE LAW VS. MAN S
Philosopher to Use Antigone To Show Clash of Men, Gods
By BARBARA EPSTEIN
Three dramatic scenes, directed by Dr. James H. Butler, will he used to illustrate Dr. Paul Miller's discussion of "Man's
!>aw vs. Divine Law” in the Philosophy Forum today at 4:13 p.m. in Bowne Hall.
The use of three scenes will tx1 a departure from other dra-ma-pliilosophy productions featured in the 59th Semiannual Plvlosophy Forum series.
The scenes. Prologue and Acts I and II from Sophocles play, “Antigone." will be directed by Dr. Butler, head of the drama department, and will be used at piinis in the philosophy instructor’s interpretation.
Special Departure
Dr. Miller said he was purposely departing from the usual one-act dramatic scene featured
in previous“Experiments in Value Conflicts” because of the issues involved. “Thii should t>e an interesting: change of pace,” said Dr. Butler.
Dr. Miller will explain the basic issues in each scene before it is enacted, enabling the audience to see more clearly the abstract ideas of the play.
“We bHieve this will make it ev en more meaningful," said Dr. Butler.
Further Change
In a further departure, tlie . scenes will be read rather than blocked out. Drama students Me- t lissa Mui*phy, Anne de Rubertis , and Tom Costello will Jake part I in the readings.
“The concertized reading, as ibis form of presentation is ! called, has become quite popular recently." explained Dr. Butler. I “Paul Gregory has used it quite a bit in his productions.
“We believe it will be quite effective in Sophocles’ drama of conflicting moral values,’’ he added.
The play centers about an edict issued by Creon. king of Thebes, which forbids that Poly-neiccs. a traitorous soldier, be buried and orders that his , brother be given a hero's burial.
Eternal Wandering
In Greek belief this would curse Polv ncices’s soul to eternal wandering of the earth, a much-feared fate.
His sister, Antigone, defies Creon’s order and buries her brother, fully realizing that this will mean her death.
Antigone, betrothed to Croon’s son. is sealed in a ca\e to starve for disobeying ihc king's orders.
Tragic Sequence
A further sequence of tragic events, all the consequences of | Crcn’s refusal to temper his verdict, result in the deaths of Antigone's fiancee tCreon's son> and Creon’s wife.
Shortsighted Laws
The conflict l>etween these shorl sighted man-made laws, and divine law as upheld by An-tigone. is ihe essence of Sophocles' tragedy. said Dr. Butler.
PHILOSOPHY DIRECTOR-Dr. James H. Butler will direct three dramatic scenes illustrating Dr. Paul Miller's “Man's Law vs. Divine Law" Philosophy Forum today. Scenes from Sophocles' "Antigone" will be used to demonstrate this facet of the Forum's Experiments in Value Conflicts.

$1000 OF TROY CAMP GOAL IN COFFERS: SEEK $3000
Nearly SI000 was collected during the first week of the Troy Camp Drive. Bruce Stuart, chairman of this year’s drive, said today.
“This is the result of campaigning to individual students,” Stuart said. “We’re expecting another $3000 to come from campus groups and organizations.”
Troy Camp, a one-week summer program for underprivileged children, is the only camp in America that is entirely set up, financed and staffed by a university student body.
This year’s goal of $4000 is calculated to send 150 children to camp, Stuart said.
Each organization or campus group has been asked to contribute at least S30, enough to send one child to camp.
Boys and girls chosen to go to the camp, which has been held at Camp Buckhorn near Idvllwild for the past three years, are selected by the Los Angeles East Side Boys’ Club and the Troy Camp Board.
Children who attend the camp are those who are felt to be the most deserving and needy.
“Most of them have never been able to go to camp before,” said Stuart.
The Red Cross supplies toilet articles, clothes, shoes and other necessary articles to those campers who don’t have them.

By LYNDA ELYEA
An administrative decree handed down yesterday announced that, in accordance with past tradition, Trojans will not be seeing songleaders at future SC athletic events.

Dr. Harvey To Speak At Hillelunch
Dr. Herman Harvey, associate professor of psychology, will ] speak on “The Care and Feeding of Scientists.” at a “Hillelunch” | tomorrow at noon.
The program is open to anyone and will be held at the Hil- j lei Foundation, 1029 W. 36th st. ! The meal costs 60 cents for Hil-The controversial “no song- je] members and 70 cents for j leaders” decree issued bv the non-members, administration yesterday is expected to raise much discussion on the senate floor at the ASSC Senate meeting tomorrow night, said Gary Du-bin. parliamentarian.
“Although the Senate won’t be able to do much about it.
I'm sure it. will he one of the main topics of discussion,” he added.
The administration is also expected to submit it's views on the academic partnership resolution passed two weeks ago.
The resolution asked the administration and faculty to “accept the partnership role of ttw> student in the formation of the academic policies of the university.”
It requested that administration-approved student representatives be seated on the Curriculum. Scholarship Standards and Advisement Committees of the universitv.
inite administrative answer to the long-pending question, i Although the issue of whether ! SC would or would not have songleaders has b»cn in th^ air j for two years, no definite deci-sion had previously been received from the administration.
The main reason given by Dr. Downey for the administration's refusal to allow songleaders at | athletic events was the university “policy of long standing with regards to songleaders.'’
He stated also »hat the administration feels that songleaders detract, rather than add to the university's dignity.	n	j
Downey Statement
Dr. Downey’s statement to Ka-I rabian reads as follows:
| “The university has had a poli-.
cy of long standing with regards ' to songleaders. The attitude of ; the university towards this policy has been constant.
“The total administration does not feel that songleaders eontri- . bute to the dignity of the uni- I versity nor do Ihey lend them- I selves to better singing on the part of the rooting sections at our athletic contests.
Best Eight
“It is the desire of the administration. always. to have our students, especially our young ladies, presented in the best possible light. I am sure that you and the rest of the students share this desire with us.”
Karabian expressed regret that ' the administration didn't encourage the selection of songleaders.
“I am sorry to see the efforts of students and senates of the past two years go in vain.” he said. “However, students must realize that final decisions in a private institution such as ours are made by the Board of Trustees.”
SteigerwaIt Agrees
Bill Steigerwalt. junior class president, agreed with the administrative decree.
“I feel that songleaders detract from a football game,” he said.
"Although this semester's performances haven't been timed too well, SC has shown that it can put on good pre-game and half-time performances without adding more atti actions. ’ Steigerwalt added.
Songleaders have he**n approved twice in the last two vears in student voting and ASSC meetings, but that is as far as the issue was carried.
Question Revived
When the question was revived by Engineering President Alan Widiss at last Wednesday’s ASSC meeting. Karabian asked the administration for definte action.
Larry Young, senator-at-large, indicated that he was disappointed in the edict.
(Continued on Page 2)
Songleaders-Do Students Want Them?
Should songleaders be allow
at
SC athletic
1 to perform events?
This is the question being debated around campus after yes-t terday's administrative edict squelching plans for prospective songleaders.
} Opinions on the issue seem to differ among students, w ith the male population tending to he in favor of the added attraction of pretty girls dancing to the rhythm of the Trojan Band’s music.
Improve Spirit
“Spirit would definitely be im-! proved if we had songleaders."
‘ Dave Ager, graduate law student said.
"It may even be good for publicity,” he added. This year, songleaders from other schools were featured in Look and Tim«* j magazines.”
“On the other hand, it could unbalance sororities on the Row, if one sorority succeeded in furnishing all the songleaders,” Ager continued.
“All sorority newcomers would probably be interested in join-i ing only the house with most of the songleaders. thus unbalanc-| ing pledging,” he said.
Feminine View
An undergraduate psychology major. Anne Stevenson, presented her feminine point of view by agreeing with Ager on the problems of sorority rushing.
“We don’t really need songleaders." she added. “I think SC has enough color and spirit without them.”
High School
General opinion from this faction seemed to be that the addition of songleaders would “bring back high school spirit, which is no good in a university."
However. University of California transfer Sigrid Siover-glade “has nothing against them.”
“Songleaders add a colorful note to the spirit of a game,” she said.
Medical students Jerry Dick-marr. Jim Robeson and Ralph Thick summed up the general feeling by stating that they were positively in favor of the pompom-waving dancers for “well known reasons.
“Anyway its better to look at a girl when the team is away than just to look at the grass.” Jim Gavtan, pr#-lawr student concluded.

By MIA KISS Assistant to the Editor
A book does not have to be commercial to be a best-seller, declares a novelist who defied convention and the market to write what has been acclaimed “a book of brilliance, nobility and beauty.”
Eugene Vale, author of the ; current best-seller “The Thir-; teenth Apostle” will visit SC to-j morrow to lecture on his highly 1 successful novel and dedicate its ! original manuscript to Doheny Library.
Vale, who will speak • to ttje public at 4 p.m. in the library’s I Arts and lecture Room, maintains that he wrote his best-I seller without giving any regard ‘ to the literary market.
“During the writing of the book,
; I never attempted either lo fore-| see or consider its ultimate reception,” he explains.
Rates Sixth
He points out that he did not want to be influenced one way ' or another, for avoiding success j can as dangerous as courting it.
“I am aware that 'The Thir-I teenth Apostle’ has none of the elements generally considered 1 necessary to make a best-seller,
EUGENE VALE
. . . gives manuscript
but I have long believed that these 'commercial axioms’ are fallacious,” Vale holds.
Last week his novel Ihe storv of a bitter, frustrated and unhappy U.S. consular officer, who, as a matter of routine, teels il his duty to journey to m iemote jungle country to investigate the death of an American painter—
was rated sixth on Publisher's Weekly list.
Readers Underestimated
Regarding the novel's success. Vale claims “the reading audience has been grossly underestimated in too many quarters.
“To the extent that the stir | cess of ‘The Thirteenth Apostle* helps to disprove lhat unwarranted contempt, it might encourage some authors and publishers to raise their sights.” the author feels.
“The Thirteenth A d o s t 1 e .*' i Vale's first novel, tells iow the state department employee makes his way thro u g h the I jungles, to the,mountain country, j and his routine quest becomes a holy pilgrimage and an explora-j tion of his own soul.
F'dmund Fuller, in a New York Times book review, called Vale's novel a book that “has a dramatic power and depth of conception rare in American fic-I tion.
