Entertainers From 20 Countries To Perform Songs and Dances
The mystery of the hundreds of “Nov. 20” signs displayed on campus during the past week has been solved.
Friday, Nov. 20 is the date of the annual International Song and Dance Festival, to be held this year in Bovard Auditorium. The Festival, sponsored by the SC Intercultural
Club, will feature song and dance
entertainment by more than 15 groups representing 20 foreign countries including Iran, Israel, Brazil, Nigeria, and Poland.
The entertainers will be foreign students from nearly all the universities in southern California. Many of them, were professional entertainers in their native countries.
One of the entertaining groups will consist of 10 SC students from Iran, who will present songs ! and dances of their native country. Nasrin Hekmat, will accompany the singers on the tar, a Persian musical instrument-which resembles a mandolin.
Arabian Dance Ali Dajani of Jerusalem and several other Arab students will present an Arabian dance.
"I saw the Festival last year, and it was just like a tour of the world, because all the acts are authentic and do not have the ‘put on air’ of Hollywood productions,,” Art Nilsson, Intercultural Club publicity chairman, said.
All the costumes are authentic, having been 6ent over to the performers by friends or relatives from their native countries.
Small Fortune “There is a small fortune tied up in those costumes,” Nilsson said. The Indian act alone uses $1000 worth.”
“We feel that by our functions, such as this Festival, we are aid-

A two-bit law suit tried in the small claims court yesterday was the only way SC law student Barry Lewis Hirsch, 20, figured he could get even with his professor.
Law Professor George R. Wicks, according to Hirsch, borrowed a quarter which he never returned.
He borrowed the quarter to use in a classroom demonstration about five weeks ago, said Hirsch, and “when I asked him for it after the class he didn’t give it back.”

Mate of Suicide Victim Uses Pills To End Own Life
Sam Hughes, North American aircraft engineer and SC graduate, was found dead Monday in his apartment at 3789 Menlo Avenue.
Six empty sleeping-pill bottles were found by the bed of the 25-year-old widower, whose wife, also an SC graduate, had taken her life last Oct. 5.
Hughes left a note to his cousin, Ed W'ard of West Los Angeles, in which he blamed himself for the death of his wife.
“We were just a- couple of crazy, mixed-up kids,” the note read. “I didn’t treat her well and she had never been treated badly before.”
Parking Survey Lists Nearby Campus Spaces
The results of a parking survey made in the spring of 1953 by Elton D. Phillips, business manager, show that there are 5531 unrestricted available parking spaces, both on and off streets,, in the vicinity of SC.
The survey Is divided into two areas. First, the campus area bounded by Exposition Boulevard, McClintock Street, Jeffer son Boulevard, and Figueroa Boulevard. Second, the off-campus area defined as the immediately adjacent streets within a distance of approximately 1200 feet.
Within these areas are classified restricted parking and unrestricted parking. Restricted being those streets upen which there are parking time limits.
This study revealed that there is available within the two areas included in the survey 8507 parking spaces. Of this total, 5541 spaces are unrestricted and available to SC students and personnel at all times.
The remaining 2966 spaces are restricted which includes 1575 spaces of street parking in the time limit zones and 1391 spaces in the parking lots which charge fees.
Two years ago, the California State Agriculture Board bought the property on Menlo Street and Exposition Boulevard for Coliseum parking and this space is open to free student parking during class time.
Bernard L. Hyink, dean of students, urges all students with a majority of their classes in the buildings on the south side of campus to use the parking lot at the corner of Menlo Street and Exposition Boulevard, leaving the north parking lots to the students with classes on that side of the campus.

Debate on Song Leaders Expected
Mystery Bill Faces Senators
The controversial question of having coed song leaders at athletic events will be hashed out again by campus politicos in tonight’s Senate meeting, according to Joann Peterson, ASSC secretary.
“A motion to rescind Senate action on this subject will probably provide a rather heated discussion,” Miss Peterson said, “since women seem so definitely against any form of coed song leader at any event. Male senators may try to push the measure through to have it inaugurated during the basketball season.”
Mystery Bill
Warren Clendening, ASSC president, said that talk on an important new proposal, which he would rather not have mentioned at this time, will be a main part of the new business.
Also under new business will be the election of one member to the Board of Publications, discussion of a by-law on high school and college relations, and consideration of points on the Constitutional Committee.
Amendments Expected
Amendments to two by-laws are expected to be proposed by Murray Bring, independent men’s representative, Miss Peterson said. This will be conducted under unfinished business. The by-laws concern the Committee on the Recognition of Student Organization and the Student Union Committee.
Special committee reports will include those from Jerry Baker, senator, high school and college relations; the Committee on Religious Discrimination; and Dan Lucas, senator, Committee on Religious Emphasis.
Representatives on the standing committees will give reports from the Board of Financial Control, Shirlee Blalock; and the Board of Publications, Joe Thomas.
Committees to Report
Among the reports from the regular ASSC committees will be those from Bob Hildebrand, Homecoming; Bill Houser, Greater University; Chuck McClure, Elections Commission; Phil Prince, Trojan Chest; and Ann Odin and Seyom Brown, Forum Committee.
A new committee has also been formed in the ASSC, to be known as Public Relations. Heading this group will be A1 Moore.

havior. “We must all make choices, but the important question is if, after we’ve made them, we can contemplate whether we should have done otherwise,’’ he said.
He said the advocates of the free will concept will find it difficult, after thinking of many alternatives, and finally making a choice, he finds h e had no alternative in the first place. The only fundamental beliefs of the free will school of psychoanalysis are God, the freedom of will, and the immortaity of the soul.
Dr. Watson offered as an exmaple of free will thinking, that the specific causes of energy are

WASHINGTON—Former President Truman and Gov. James E. Byrnes were subpenaed yesterday to give their conflicting ver-siops of the Harry Dexter White “spy” case.
Mr. Truman indicated he will comply with the unprecedented summons.
Chairman Harold H. Velde (R-111.) of the House UnAmerican Activities Committee bypassed committee Democrats and even some Republicans in issuing the subpenas for Mr. Truman and the South Carolina governor. It was the first time a president or ex-
president had been subpenaed by j congress.

* PORTERVILLE — The House Agriculture Committee yesterday received divided opinion from San Joaquin Valley farmers on whether high government price supports should be continued.
Some farm leaders told the committee in a brief hearing here that price props were necessary for a stable economy, while others urged that producers be allowed to “work out” their own problems except under emergency conditions.
The committee, which convened in Bakersfield tonight for a special dinner, is on the last leg of its nation-wide “grass roots” tour designed to sample farm sentiment in every major agriculture region. The group holds its final hearing in . Whittier Thursday.
always existing, although no one knows how they exist.
The determinists oppose the free will school in that they believe the need for approval is an inborn primary drive, driven by physical causes. The free will belief states that all human drives and reactions are caused by oneself. The determinists feel there is an antecedent series of events for all causes, and that one can really choose and predict his choice after the fact has occured, which free will shows.
Have to Admit
Dr. Watson said that the determinists have to admit that, in the end, it is possible for humans to be moved by universal laws of causation and absolute energy, and that human beings can be self-determined and live on Earth forever.
With the advent of the free will school, psychoanalytical thought has changed, although we’re unaware of it. Dr. Watson stated. He said that Socrates’ statement “Know Thyself,” means that the essence of self is to be aware of one’s own desires, motivations, and actions.
Divided Fp
Dr. Watson said that classical psychoanalytical thought, as developed by Freud, divides the process of psychoanalysis into six dynamic centers-half conscious, and half unconscious. Freud, he explained, believed the superego controls the unconscious ego, which is critical and severe, while the conscious ego will look for the easiest way out of any situation. The free will school believes Freud’s conclusions largely correct, especially for his time.
“We are controlled by crude, cruel unconscious strivings but we cannot overcome them in consciousness, Dr. Watson said. “Freud’s theory’- of unconscious motivation was a substantial contribution to psychoanalysis,” he added.
Artifically Induced
He described the process of hypnosis as an artificially induced state close to the unconscious. Post-hypnotic suggestion can cause many embarrasing situations, which the person cannot
help, for he has no ’control over his behavior, Dr. Watson said, and he gave several amusing examples. “Know thyself,” becomes impossible with the new theory of free will, “psychoanalysis has shown “the self” to be deeply rooted in the unconscious, although we’re unaware of its decisions, he said in conclusion
Dr. Watson received his Ph.D.
| in the philosophy of Science at SC in 1948. Prior to this he | served five years in the Navy, j In 1941 he earned his AB in Philosophy at California and came ; to SC as a Mudd Fellow five years | afterward.
