Appeal Made For Easter Seal Drive
Vacation-bound Trojans were urged yesterday to help give a summer vacation to more than 500 sick and injured children by buying Easter Seals.
The plea came from Bob Hallberg, Trovet president and counselor last summer at Camp Pai-vika, Easter Seal summer camp located near Crestline in the San Bernadino mountains.
The camp, according to Hallberg, is supported entirely by the sale of Easter Seals and is designed exclusively for handicapped children.
Healthful Activities
Swimming, nature study, and other healthful activities under counselor guidance are provided for children suffering from cerebral palsy, post-polio, congenital defects, amputations, epilepsy, injuries from automobile accidents, and other physical handicaps.
Camp Paivika has five two-week periods for adults and children during the summer. Attendance during the periods usually ranges at more than 100 persons.
Other Trojans who worked with Hallberg at the camp last year include Caroline Lepfer, games director; Harold Ehrlich, boys’ counselor; and Lois Lindsey, girls’ counselor.
Drive Underway
Money for the camp will be collected during the Easter Seal spring drive now being conducted throughout Los Angeles, Hallberg said.
Easter Seal funds are also used to support day camps at the Crippled Children^ Center, a workship at the Center, therea-peutic service, social service, parent education, transportation, appliances, and organized recreation programs for crippled youngsters.
U.S. Culture Lacks Old World J^àchings, Claims Caldwell
Carolyn McCoy «) disregard for Greek and old world culture has far reaching effects on the United States and the future of the world. Dr. Russell L. Caldwell, associate professor of history, told members of the Classical Language club yesterday.
In his speech, “The Classical Tradition on Modern Life,” Dr. Caldwell discussed the fallacies of Americans being concerned almost entirely with present day problems.
Disappearing Classics “Since World War I, the study of classics has been rapidly disappearing,” he said. “Now, the cry is for specialization instead of si wider scope of study ”
Even the lawyers of today are trained specialists who have not taken time to study the classics, he sfcid.
“Up to 1817, when Harvard was founded, lawyers were trained in law offices,” he explained. “Here? * they were given classics
to read and law procedure learned on * the side.”
Of the men who drew up the Constitution of the United States, 80 per cent were lawyers who had this type of training, Dr. Caldwell said.
Couldn't Pass Bar Exams ‘These men made up the constitution remembering the difficulties of governments 2000 years before them and yet I doubt that any of them could have passed the bar examinations,” he said.
Today, he said, lawyers must i
spend most of their time learning hundreds of law cases verbatim. It would be difficult to find one-great lawyer-statesman in the present century.	•
This lack of classical training of Americans shows up in most phases of American life, Dr. Cald-* well said. The clergy is another example.
Word Deviations
“I have read more 18th century sermons than I have heard at any time in my life,” he said. “The beauty, variety, and extensiveness of the -language of ear-’ lier sermons far surpasses any I have ever heard.”
Dr. Caldwell feels that this ‘ lack of language mastery stems from the fact that teachers do ! not teach derivitive roots of j words in the American language.
“There are infinite possibilities i for beauty in the American lan-; guage, but at its worst, it is one of the most vlugar of all lan-j guages, he said. “It is impossible to cast off ancient languages if one wants to master his own.
U. S. Afraid American philosophy and hap-i piness also show the impact of i the disregard of the classics, as j illustrated in the man who advised his son that there are only two important things in life—
| money and money.
Foreigners can see the unusual i amount of fear in the Anglo-Saxon world of tomorrow. A Frenchman once asked Dr. Caldwell, “Why, when the United States
physically has force in the palm
of their hands, they are still afraid?”
“I could answer only that
Americans have a lack of poise because they live primarily in the' present,” Dr. Caldwell said. “You can’t teach a student a good philosophy of life after 15 ?o 20 years of values built on tangibility alone.”
The tendency of Americans is to feel that 20th century knowledge is the foundation of all wisdom leads to a loss of perspective and balance, he believes.
“Because of this, Americans do not always realize that every decision that they make has a tremendous bearing on the future,” he said.
Atom Bomb
The study of ancient philosophies and cultures becomes more important, he said, now that scientists have developed the atom bomb.
“With a weapon which could destroy civilization, the- non-interest in the concepts which have evolved from the past could be disastrous,” he said.
Industry is beginning to realize that the classically trained scholar is better competitively than one who is specifically trained in a business field, he maintains.
“A strong emphasis on classical training is offered at Wabash college in Indiana,” Dr Caldwell said. “Industry can’t seem to hire
its graduates fast enough.”

Tots Gleeful As Air Force ’Marines' Drill
Air force ROTC band members would have been red faced if they heard the ecstatic squeal of a little tot watching them drill Tuesday. As the drum and bugle corps approached a red-headed 3-year-year-old boy squealed, “Here come the Marines!"
As the “Marines” in Air Force blues marched down Hoover street the 3-year-old and two more tots, who looked even younger, were jumping for joy and squealing in approval.
In worship of their heros, the “Marines,” the tots stood at attention when the band passed before them.
After the sound of the drums had stopped, one of the tots, who was marching and imitating the drummers, paused and dreamily sighed, “Gee, I wish we could be Marines and go to war too.”
Arnebergh Talk Set Tomorrow
Roger Arnebergh, assistant city attorney, will use the Marilyn Monroe calendar case to help illustrate the operation of the city attorneys office at 10:10 a.m. tomorrow.
His talk, “The Office of the City Attorney,” will be given in the Law School auditorium, and will include a discussion of public utilities controversies, and* cases, of television sales frauds.
Arnebergh said that the city attorney is considered second in importance to the mayor. Not only are hotly contested cases like Marilyn’s brought before the city attorney, he .said, but he handles civil and criminal cases which arise in city departments. He also gives opinions on the legality of legislation enacted by the mayor and city council.
Arnebergh, who has worked in the city attorneys office for 12 years, said the office is showered with 70,000 complaints a month. Many of these are traffic complaints, which should interest SC drivers, he said.
Gad, Chaps! No Commercials * * * * * Britisher Discusses BBC
by* Beverly Chuchian
Englishmen don’t have to suffer through commercials in their radio programs like Americans, according to F. Basil Thornton, North ^erican representative of the British Broadcasting company.
He was interviewed yesterday while visiting radio station KUSC on campus.
“There is no need for advertising because listeners support the programs by paying approximately $6 per year for each radio,” he explained.
No Hollywood Type >
“We don’t get the high-powered Hollywood type of programs in Britain though,” he said. “There are a ^great many more music and long drama programs.”
“Programs such as ‘Faust’ and ‘As You Like It’ are typical," Thornton said. These are the types of programs offered to educational station members of' the National Association of Broadcasters.
KUSC, one of 72 station members of NAB, carries the BBC program “World Theater.” Very ^ew commercial stations receive the service, Thornton said.
Overseas Programs
Overseas broadcasting is about half the system, he said. There are about a dozen overseas offices, the largest being in New York. Other branches are located in Cairo, Paris, Rome, Australia, and New Delhi.
“The overseas service is com-
parable to ‘Voice of America’, the only difference being that BBC is not subject to state department approval.
“Recordings from London are mailed to the various offices, and programs suited to the country are chosen from this selection. The discs are then sent as free gifts to educational stations,” Thornton said.
TV for Lower-Class
“TV is taking over a lot of lower-class listeners and it is giving radio a chance to get a more intelligent audience,” he commented.
Ken Himes, chief announcer at KUSC, agreed, saying, “Now that TV is taking over, the more intelligent people are turning to educational radio programs.”
Thornton came to the west coast about three days ago because he “felt it was high time he came to L.A. to find out what’s new.” He wanted to see the other end of the big networks, after working with them in New York for 18 months.
His first stop was at station KPFA in San Francisco. He came down to L.A., visited KUSC, went to the Ford foundation, and left for Dallas last night.
He has been with BBC for 15 years and did most of his broadcasting in foreign languages. He was the BBC representative in South America, Canada, and is now representative in the U. S.
signatures. If the report is approved, the Senate must call a special election before Apr. 29. Candidates with less than a 1.5 average may run in regular student body elections May 4, 5, and | 6, if the special election measure passes.
The Senate voted 15-9 to hold the general elections May 4, 5, 6, so the amendment would apply this year if approved. Runoffs, if necessary, would be held May 11 and 12.
Unsuccessful opposition senators argued that the elections should be a week earlier so the newly elected president could attend a student body presidents’ convention tentatively set for the weekend of May 7. They said a runoff would extend the election a week and the convention would be over before SC had a president to send.
Senators Wrangle
About two hours of parliamentary wrangling preceded the final decision to make possible the special election before the general election.
The controversial amendment would lower the grade-point requirement for ASSC officers to a 1.0 cumulative average and a 1.3 average the semester before election. Both marks now stand at 1.5.
The proposed amendment also includes provisions to remove sex qualifications from the requirements for candidates. Under the present constitution, the president must be a man and the vice-president and secretary must be women.
The Senate approved a pie-throwing contest for the Trojan Chest drive in a merry debate which erupted into a madcap auction and a pie-pitching spectacle.
Rosensweig Gets Pie
Chest Chairman Bill Rosensweig, in asking for approval of the contest, said he would agree to have a pie thrown at him, whereupon Bo Jansen, who previously had condemned the contest as being too undignified, produced a “fresh” cream pie.
As Jansen wielded the pie in Rosensw’eig’s direction, senators began Lidding for the privilege of throwing the missile, while Rosensweig backed into a corner.
Nick Apple, Daily Trojan associate editor, finally donated $10 on behalf of the DT for the privilege of seeing Jansen pitch pastry. The senator happily complied to the delight of the legislators and observers.
After the laughter had subsided, the Senate, including Jansen, voted to approve the contest.
Report Submitted
Jansen, chairman of the Student Apathy committee, submitted a preliminary report to the Senate based on the result of questionnaires filled out by students. His report contained six main criticisms—that students are not fully oriented to politics on campus, and that many don’t see the benefit of government.
Bill Van Alstyne, who was proxying for Senator Bill Sweet, accused Jansen of basing his conclusions not on the questionnaires but on opinions of students that he (Jansen) had talked to. Van Alstyne then submitted a report of his own.
More Knowledge Needed
He argued that students do not lack knowledge of elections but that they lack knowledge of what the ofiicers are for. He said the reports also called for more stable party platforms and less political control by the Row.
Van Alstyne also, humorously, charged Jansen with being slow in getting started on the project and accused him of never calling meetings of his committee.
No action will be taken on the report until Jansen submits a completed report, probably at the next meeting.
Fürther action resulted in recommending to the athletic department that crew be given the status of a minor sport. The recommendation followed a request from the Ball and Chain society.
Meacham Still Top Subject On IFC Agenda
A committee report on the Bill Meacham incident will grab the spotlight at an IFC meeting this afternoon at 4 at the Acacia house.
George Gonzales, AMS president, a member of the committee which investigated the suspension of the IFC president, will submit the report to the council along with two recommendations.
The first recommendation advocates that a set of mechanics be drawn up to help fraternities understand how disciplinary cases are handied. The second recommendation asks that an interim committee be set up within the IFC to hear cases and to recommend action to the Men’s Judicial council, which will try all fraternity cases in the future.
‘The administration would much rather have the IFC handle these cases itself,” Gonzales said.
Gonzales also will outline his “handshake” program once again before it goes to a vote this afternoon. His plan is designed to ‘ bring about tetter Row-communi-ty relations and to set up a committee to discuss mutual problems.
Jim Biby, IFC president pro-tem, said plans for the Interfrs-temity Songfest will be discussed and a chairman named. The songfest will be held May 20 in cor-junction with the AWS assemb!
The winning male singer c' UCLA’s Spring Sing also will ap pear on the program.
