University Orchestra Gives Concerto in Bovard Friday
Police Harden; Tag 100 Cars In Red Zones
More than 100 cars on campus were tagged with parking tickets yesterday, according to the university precinct traffic sergeant.
“Students don’t seem to realize that the streets belong to the city and laws must be enforced,” he said. “We have been trying for years to have all the red zones removed from University avenue, but until they are, we must enforce the laws.”
The sergeant said that the job of patrolling the university was too big for one man, and other officers will patrol the SC campus on the Lookout for illegelly parked automobiles.

Dahl to Conduct Annual Program; Features Outstanding Musicians
In one of its two most important programs of the season, the University orchestra, under the direction of Ingolf Dahl, associate professor of music, will play its annual concerto program in Bovard auditorium Friday evening at 8:30. The second program is the annual spring concert of
contemporary music slated for Apr. 14.
‘The object of the concerto program.’’ said Professor Dahl, “is to afford outstanding campus instrumentalists an opportunity to appear in concerto accompaniment with the university orchestra.” Accurate Surpey A fairly accurate historical survey of the concerto as such will be found in the program, he said. The concerto for Two Trumpets and String Orchestra is an early example of the works of the 18th-century Italian composer Manfredini. Harold Hillyer and Harold Hines, playing first and second trumpet, respectively, will be soloists for this selection.^
Students participating in the program will have what Dr. Dahl termed “the rare privilege of per forming Symphony Ooncertante. Opus 84. Haydn.” This selection is one of the composer’s late works and is said to have been written during a trip to London.
Soloists for this number ar* Tony Sayre, oboe: George Kotelas. bassoon; Tikey Zes, violin; and Marie Manahan, violoncello.
First Piano foncerto in G Minor, opus 25, Mendelssohn, will be played by Sue Sarafian.
Balanced Program “Listeners will have the pleasure of hearing a variety of instrument-ally-balanced concerti,” said Dr. Dahl. “They will hear first the concerto for two instruments (trumpets) with orchestra; then the concerto for four instruments with orchestra; and finally, the piano concerto.”
Dr. Dahl said that as far as he knows, the orchestra's playing of the Sinfonia Concertata, Donizetti (which opens the program), may be the first American performance of this composition.
WASHINGTON. Mar. 13—(UP)— If the U. S. Armed Forces wanted one bad enough, they probably could build a “sky platform" which would circle the earth like a man-made moon, informed quarters said today.
But top scientists doubt if either this country or Russia will actually attempt to build such a “satellite vehicle'’ for a long time.
The hitch is this:
The kind of space ship that is within reach of present technical know how would have little military value to justify its staggering cost. And the kind that might en able one country to dominate the world is many years beyond present knowledge.
Limited Research The U. S. Army, Navy and Air Force have been conducting research on satellite vehicles for the past five years or more. But the work has been limited to theoretical studies and oomponent de sign—the kind of essential preliminary' work that will be invaluable when and if it becomes practical to build such vehicles.
Public attention was focused dra matically on the matter by the disclosure that the same Russian spy ring which stole vital secrets of the atomic bomb during World War II also appears to have been after information on U. S. space ship research.
David Green glass testified ih a New York federal court Monday that one of his associates told him in 1947 about a secret “sky platform project.”
The simplest form of “sky platform"—the one which conceivably might be built now—is an unmanned rocket which would be fired to a point of low gravity between the earth and the moon, where it would “come to rest” and then whirl about the earth in regular pattern like the moon.

by Jim Deitch
ASSC President Al Wiggins led off a wave of opposition to what he labeled “unjust” charges hurled against the Wampus, campus humor magazine, Monday, claiming that accusations by IFC President Frank Baffa and Junior Class President Jack Collin were unfounded.
Colton and Baffa criticized the Wampus for printing a calendar Staff Artist Mel Shestack la the December issue, which, according to the solons. was ‘ lewd, lascivious, and a disgrace.”
Fred Harper. El Rodeo editor, said the blast showed a "lack of true sophistication on the part of the critics. The much-ado-about-nothipg seems a startling exhibit of narrow-mindedness.”
Veterans Representative Allen A Arthur said. “I think the cartoons in the Wampus are excellent. What do we want, a Ladies’ Home Journal?”
leaders Lend Voices
Scores of other student leaders joined in to voice their praise for the disputed magazine. Bingo Piver, Mortar Board vice-president, said she did not think the cartoons were a disgrace to womanhood. 'They may be somewhat distorted,” she said, "but I believe it was all in good fun.”
Editor Ried Bridges, object of the heated attack, stood by artist Shestack. "The models for the calendar girls came directly from Mel s head,” he said, ‘and any girl who thinks she looks like one of the drawings is just flattering herself.”
Bridges added that “so far this year, the Wampus has been as pure and unsullied as a Sunday school journal, insofar as editorial and cartoon content are concerned." He said, however, that he could not include the forthcoming issue in this category.
She&Uck Fidgety Shestack, who fidgeted nervously and scribbled wierd cartoons while being interviewed, said he could not understand the charges. He said he thought he was bringing a ‘new type of humor” to the campus.
Fellow artist Ron Frank characterized all critics of the disputed cartoons as “morally retarded and mentally deficient.'’
A second DT check of campus sentiment revealed that many were in favor of Shestacks drawings. An architecture major said, “His cartoons are the greatest ever. Every time I look at them I just laugh and laugh and laugh.”
DT Swamped Editorial offices of the DT were swamped yesterday as dozens of students demanded to know if COl-ton and Baffa spoke as individuals or as representatives of the students. “No one ever asked me what I thought of the drawings,” said one student.
“I think the Wampus is doing a fine job,” said another. “I especially liked Shestack s calendar.” Volney Brown, editor of the Law Brief, also came out in defense of the calendar.
Argentinean To Address Faculty Men
Felix J. Weil, Argentine political refugee who held governmental po si tions in the pre-Peron era, will address the Men s Faculty club at noon today in the north dining room on the second floor of Commons.
Subject of Weil's talk is “Can Peron Be Bought?”. The speaker received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Frankfort in 1921 and was at one time a grain exporter and corporation director in Buenos Aires.
He was a lecturer in economics at Independent college in Buenos Aires. Weil, while not a professional politician, was one of the young liberals who worked in the pre Peron era of the ’30s.
He was director cf the Argentine Grain board, director of Internal Revenue, and collector of customs in the government.
Weil has been in the United States since 1941. A citizen of this country, he now lives in Santa Monica and is known for his ar tides and books. He is the author of “Argentine Riddle,” which de scribes the current siuation in the Peron government.
