Two shriveled old men, both ! students at SC in the early ! 1900’s, took to the air waves Saturday afternoon and told a I television audience over a nation-wide hookup that they I should be elected President and ; vice-president of the United States ''to save the country from I the greatest single evil menac-j ing us today—alcohol.”
Enoch A. Holtwick and Edwin ! M. Cooper, candidates for the i president and vice-president on th Prohibition Party ticket, looked over their wire-rimmed glasses and warned that if they j are not elected to the two high-j est offices in the land, “The United States will soon meet its downfall from chronic alcoholism.”
18th Bad
“The repeal of the 18th Amendment has failed to produce I the public morality, respect for the law, and sobriety, promised j by the advocates of repeal,”
I Holtwick. who was a law stu-j dent here in 1915, stated to his listeners.
Won’t Halt Problem ....
He added that the two major
political loyalities is resolved in favor of loyalty to our Constitution, and against a foreign political dictator who is an avowed enemy of that Constitution, NO CATHOLIC SHALL BECOME PRESIDENT OR VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!”
“Furthermore, under the Mc-Carren • t, every Roman Catholic who îails to recant on political loyalty to the Vatican voids his citizenship in the United States.”

Old Precincter
Butler’s political career began as a precinct poll-taker in his native South Bend. Indiana. He came up through the ranks to be elected Indiana National Committeeman in 1952 for the term ending May, 1956.
He served as Chairman of the Indiana delegation to the Democratic National Convention in 1952. He was appointed a member of the Executive Committee of the Democratic National Committee in 1953. He was keynoter for the Indiana Democratic state Convention in 1954.
groups for their political campaigns.
Both Holtwick and Cooper stressed their opposition to totalitarianism and sane t i o n e d “freedom for everyone” in America, but adroitly managed to stay clear from a statement in one of their recent publications which stated in large, black capital letters “NO CATHOLIC SHALL BECOME PRESIDENT OR VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!”
Vatican Interferes
“ . . . The Vatican, a secular, political state has publicly directed its followers to interfere in the international political affairs of every nation of the world.
“To add to the danger, the Vatican, which ha§ publicly and historically declared its undying enmity toward every freedom written into the Bill of Rights, demands political loyalty of American citizens, this raising intolerable conflicts of loyalty for every Roman Catholic citizen.” the statement continues.

in Bowne Hall of the Mudd Memorial Hall of Philosophy.
The theme of the lectures will be on ethics and values, according to Dr. William H. Werk-meister, director of the School of Philosophy.
“The object of the forum, open to everyone, is to bring discussions of important philosophical problems before the public,” explained Dr. Werkmeistei\
Ethics concerns the norms and standards of human conduct with norms referring to the moral standards and conventions of society, Werkmeister explanned.
Ethics and Values Values, on the other hand, can be termed as common judgments of everyday happenings, such as preferring a cucumber instead of an avocado.
Dr. Lewis points out that “moral” in the widest and most important meaning of the word, refers not only to rightness in our actions toward others, but it is the governing factor of activities in general.
“Morals are critical in two ways,’* he feels.
“First, that men have control over their manner of living and exercise it in ways of which they themselves approve. Secondly, that morals are themselves products of critical reflection and assessment.”

plored the problem of student
By DOUG CAMERON
Sometimes a forest can’t be seen for the trees. And sometimes a problem can be understood better by attacking it from a long-range vantage point.
This philosophy guided the 51 student leaders and 14 faculty members who traveled through the rugged, forest-covered San Jacinto Mountains | last weekend to attend the 1 seventh annual Idyllwild conference.
The speeches at the two-day conference were both casual and thoughtful, humorous and informative. Education Vice President Albert S. Raubenheimer, gave an opening speech on Saturday that laid the foundation j for much of the work. He urged the group “to think more of the intellectual life at SC.” While : he agreed that students should ; have a well-balanced social life, he felt that they should grow more in an intellectual way.
Growing University Drawing upon personal ex- i perience, the vice president illus- | trated the expanding influence I | of SC. He asked the conference to be guided by this influence and questioned, “What are you ! going to do at SC and for , whom?”
Dr. Raubenheimer outlined ! several lines of attack that the ,
I "roup should execute. He said that graduate students need bet-: ter organization, cultural activ-I ities should receive stronger j student support, and asked.
"What is lacking on our cam- j pus?’’ “What are our weak- |
! nesses?”
The most challenging work carved out by the panels was,
“How can we remove the intellectual impediments at SC?”
Perhaps the most concrete suggestion in this direction was a recommendation that fraternities, sororities and other campus organizations should sponsor “cultural activities” on campus.
Discuss Friendliness The conference spotlighted faculty-student relationships. In his speech Dr. Raubenheimer said students are not too friendly. However, Professor Bruce McElderry of the English department said that student-faculty relations are “very good.” Suggestions along this line were not too plentiful, but the panelists thought more faculty members should establish interview periods with students.
Between the sessions conference members devoted as much time to recreation and socializing as they did to work. Faculty members who are seldom viewed in anything but a suit put on old shirts, jeans and tennis shoes. They joined with students in volleyball, tennis, horseback riding, singing and dancing. Responding eagerly to the mountain-fresh air, they thought about bottling or packaging the smogless atmosphere and transporting it to the university.
During the Sunday session the panels came up with some
Sunday afternoon Fred D. Fagg Jr. spoke to the conference during lunch. He praised both the academic and social life and emphasized that social activities are of great significance to students.
ASSC President Carl Terzian summed up the philosophy of the conference when he defined “the spirit of Idyllwild.” This spirit, he explained, is something that cannot be detected in the official proceedings of the meeting. “It is a new trust and respect that student leaders ha\e gained for each other, a trust and respect that is necessary for student leadership.”

^publicans including members! of SCs Young Republican Club, j this weekend charged here that I President Eisenhower's leader- I ship has allowed a “paralysis of' will to overtake our national leadership.”
In his most vicious attack yet ! on the President and his administration, Stevenson told his lis- . teners that “a vote for Eisen- i hower is a vote for the new J head of the Republican Party—
Mr. Nixon.”
“President Eisenhower is eith- j er unwilling or unable to lead j the government,” Stevenson told a shivering crowd at an open- \ air theater near the Balboa Park Zoo here.
“The nation is coming to re- | alize more and more that the Republican candidate and his . party leadership are indistir.gu- j ishable.”
Stevenson also pressed forward with vigor a national de- j bate on the hydrogen bomb and j his proposals for a new look at ! the nation's military manpower J requirements.
“Most Americans,” he stated.
“I know, are concerned and deeply concerned about mankind's need to take the hydro- ! gen bomb. Yet only yesterday 1 the President said he had utter- ; ed his last word on this sub-' ject.”
In turning to domestic issues, j the L>emocratic standard-bearer j again attacked Ike's ability ta i lead the nation, charging “The i Congress is still Republican opposition. Senator Knowland still tions,” the President's worst opposition in plained.
opposes on foreign policy. Senator Bricker still proposes his amendment. And when the President said he wanted federal aid for schools, 119 Republican congressmen voted against and killed a bill for Federal School Aid.”
‘The Republican Old Guard still rides high today and the Republican Party is still the same old Republican Party,” he stated.
This weekend's Democratic foray into Southern California was a flying wedge, with Stevenson holding the center and top Democrats from other states sweeping the flanks in a series of 15 short stops.
But after the party, flying from place to place in chartered DC-6's. left their speaking stops, the Republican Truth Squad, consisting of Rep. Donald L. Jackson of Los Angeles, and Sens. Karl Mundt of South Dakota. Arthur Watkins of Utah, and William Purtell of Connecticut, attacked Stevenson for "pulling out all of the stops in an effort to discredit the President.”
“Gov. Stevenson got down from his high horse and descended to the low road in a bitter attack against the Eisenhower administration and its substantial record of peace and progress,” the group said in a press conference here.
The Truth Squad said Stevenson's attacks weren’t centered on a single subject but were spread out from internal politics to the hydrogen bomb question.
“And in all these attacks, we have found errors and

elections. “Certainly the tremendous amount of handbills and posters distributed during the last election did nothing but flood classrooms and litter the campus,” criticized Vi Jameson. ASSC vice president.
The panels recommended that the number of posters per candidate be limited and put in specific areas. Realizing that such a rule would be difficult to enforce, they suggested that poster and handbill campaigning should be limited to three days before election.

Pills, powders and potents perplexed passing students in Founders Hall the past week as the pharmacy students celebrated National Pharmacy Week with a drug display.
The exhibit, located in the north lobby featured various drugs, pharmaceutical equipment and reference volumes.
The display, which was designed and arranged by Robert Rudolph, Vic Brae and Paul Hill, will be entered in a national competition against those of other schools of pharmacy. According to Jack Frost, president of the pharmacy school the display is expected to rate high in the competition.
Recent contributions by the SC school to the national pharmaceutical effort include the discovery of another form for the curing of heart disease and additional uses of saccharin.
While much of this work is carried on by doctors and graduates of the department, undergraduates fill an important role in the operation of the University dispensary.
In the dispensary, advanced students fill prescriptions for students and faculty members under careful supervision thus

By PETER N. 8YNODIS Daily Trojan Editor
John Henry Newman, the 19th century British theologian and author, pondered upon the purpose of a university—but not 6000 feet above sealevel.
High in the San Jacinto j Mountains last weekend mem* ' bers of the faculty and the AS-, SC Senate resolved the problem , of how to increase the intellectual atmosphere and attitude at SC.
Any expanding university, faced with accommodating seas of new students, must occasionally revamp its educational community if it intends to produce high quality graduates.
Assess Impediments
The Idyllwild panels, therefore. attempted to assess present intellectual impedi m e n t s on campus and how they could best be removed.
One of the stark realities at SC is that the campus harbor* a myriad of social and professional organizations (approximately 200).
Many students, conditioned by the concept that college is a place to make friends and influence people, dive headlong into a labyrinth of constitutional agendas, refreshments and decora-; tions committees and publicity | chairmanships.
Man is by nature a gregare-ous animal. But each group he associates with demands a quota of his time—valuable time that, if devoted to intellectual pursuits, could bear greaer results than the temporary sweetness of social prestige on campus.
Devastating Premium
This premium on social prestige is most devastating on th* Row, where success or failure of a sorority or fraternity pivots on the annual harvest of organization chairmanships and presidencies.
In many fraternities scholastic goals are set at achieving the minimum grade point average permissible at the university. What’s more, coeds argue that fraternties are to blame for the social power politics among sororities—that men favor those groups which command greatest prestige on campus.
They further contend that there is a cultural stagnation on the Row born of the fact that fraternity men “never invite women to see a ballet or attend the Philharmonic.”
But the Row claims a relatively small percentage of the university community. What of the rest of SC?
Molding of Students
Ever since Socrates, students have been molded to various degrees by their professors. In this era of bulging universities, faculty members must pause occasionally and re-evaluate their purposes and their methods.
Who was it that said, “the mind is a fire to be kindled, not a vessel to be filled"? If the ntellectual atmosphere of SC is culty members must analyze their approach toward teaching to be sure they are not pouring from the pitcher instead of kindling embers.
Unfortunately, a large university is faced with the problem of huge classes. It lacks the seminar-like informality of a bantam campus with its small stimulated toward community discussion.
