Value of Arts To Highlight Forum Lecture
Speaker to Probe Assets, Problems, Views of Creativity
The need for creative thinking will be stressed this afternoon at 4:15 in the third Philosophy Forum of the semester.
Dr. William S. Snyder, philosophy instructor, will discuss “Art as a Supreme Facet of Man's Spiritual Nature” in Browne Hall of the Mudd Memorial Hall of Philosophy.
Dr. Snyder is particularly concerned with the Freudian concept that originality stems from neurosis.
"There seems to bo a tendency in certain psychological circles to view creativity as unnatural,” he says. "I believe that is is a perfectly natural thing. It’s when the creative urge is stifled that the problem begins.”
Attempt Made "There's an attempt made to reduce all these problems to minute concepts. They're explained away rather than explained. But it’s impossible to explain art away as if it were a mechanical body," he said.
"Art is a very real and important facet of life today and it must be accepted as such.” Society today has a constricting effect on creative thinking, according to Dr. Snyder.
Not » Good Situation This is not a healthy situation, Dr. Snyder maintains. There is a possibility, he says, although a slight one, that civilization might end up without any truthful form of expression at all, just as In an Aldous Huxley novel.
There are creative thinkers functioning today, Dr. Snyder pointed out. He referred to Albert Schweitzer and Bertrand Russell as examples.
Universities as a whole are becoming more aware that the problem exists, according to Dr. Snyder. "The whole problem of mechanical thinking and overspecialization is being studies quite closely now," he Said.
★ Is It Worth It?
The first reaction was that of shock.
The next reaction was that of disbelief. Dismay, madness and resignation followed In that order.
However, now that the first reactions to the Increase in tuition li.ave hail a chance to set in, I think •we can all profit by asking ourselves just how much a “prlvale” education Is worth.
If it was worth $22 a unit last week . . . Isn't it still worth only $.1 more a unit? We think it is. But each one of you must decide this question for yourselves.
First of all, you should ask yourself why you are attending SC. If it’s because Troy offers some courses that a state school doesn't, then your decision will have to be made out of necessity if not conviction.
But if you’re attending Troy because you believe that a privately supported institution offers something more valuable in an education than a large state school could offer, then you would agree with us that the S3 more a unit is not too much to pay for this.
We realize, however, that a great many Trojans are working their way through school and th.is new tuition increase—which will average out to around ' $90 a year—will make it harder on them.
Nevertheless, the campus improvements promised by this Increase will greatly aid various aspects of university life, and added with the recent grant from the Ford Foundation, both will greatly aid SC’s future.
For despite what Robert Hutchins said on campus two weeks ago, the only difference between a private and state school is NOT that, one is dictated to by a state legislature while the other is dictated to by rich alumni'
If this were the only difference ... we would do better to get "politics" out of the university—and several state schools have already done this. In fact, several are much better than some private universities.
But th.e main value of most private schools Is an intrinsic experience that is hard to define in everyday terms. Call it more freedom of “thought.” Call it a friendlier atmosphere. Call it a more “cohesive” body.
But whatever you call it, SC has It . . . and It’s worth $3 more a unit.

"The original music for the drama department's production of ‘Twin Manaechmi’ is an attempt at something between contemporary and commercial,” said the composer, Harold Owen.
Owen, a graduate student in the School of Music, composed the music for the five sor^s used in the Roman farce. Hd .will also play the accompaniment at the performance ot the play which will open Mar. 2(. nOf Bovard Auditorium and rur for five nights.
The cotTH-dy was written by classical playwright, Titus Plautus.
The lyrics were translated from the original play by Arthur H. Weston, prifessor emeritus In the classical languages department.
Compromise Needed "My main problem,” Owen said, "was that the words suggested 19th century music and I didn't want to write that. It meant pleasing my standards, which were modern, and pleasing Weston’s, which were Gilbert and Sullivan.”
Owen's five songs are sung by Menaeehmus of Epidamus, played by Peter Hayman; Krotium. played by Gretchen Kane; Mess-ino, played by George Feigel-man; and the old man. Who speaks the lyrics to a musical accompaniment.
French Tichner of the opera department, who Is also in the cast of the play, helps the actors train their voices.

“No. As far as I am concerned. no more movies.”
Then he was asked how Miss Kelly felt on that score.
“We have come to an agreement on that,” Rainier replied. “There was no difficulty about it.”
Rainier said he used an assumed name on his trip east by airplane “just tor fun." He said he wanted to leave Hollywood without attracting any attention.

One of the most fierce blood and thunder epic* of the silent screen will be show'n tonight at 7:30 in 133 FH.
Rudolph Valentino's "Son of the Sheik" will be offered as the third in a series of Film Classirs presented by Delta Aloha Kappa in conjunction with the dnema department.
Valentino's rise to film popularity was somewhat mediocre. The smouldering-eyed actor appeared in only six movies but created one of the greatest legends in screen history.
His picture» were among the top box office hits of his day. Housewives and Society matrons flocked to see him in action. His death at the age of 31 was a shock to thousands of dewy-eyed woqien throughout the world.
But Valentino was an athlete as well as a lover. He was a polished boxer and experienced horseman. These qualities affirmed his masculinity and made him acceptable to men, according to Barry Kirk of the cinema department.
“Son of the Sheik” showcases Valentino's talents as a horseman,” said Kirk. “While the acting techniques he used are out 'dat»d and overdone by present day standards, Valentino was one of the finest actors of the silent era.”
Delta Alpha Kappa Is presenting the film showings for the tenth year. Kirk says that this Is "by far the most successful series from an audience stand point."
A $4 admission will admit the general public to* one or all of the Film Classics. Members of the SC faculty and student body can purchase $3 season tickets.
"Those people buying tickets now have the advantage of getting more for their money than they will at a later date," according to Herbert E. Fanner of the cinema department. There are nine movies still to be shown in the series.
Ai Jqjson’s “Jazz Singer" will be shown at the next Film Classic program, Mar. 13. The Industry’s first "talkie," the picture deals with the problem of a boy whc wants to become an entertainer against his father’s wishes.
Other classics acheduled Include Buster Keaton's “The General,” and the expressionistlc "Lot in Sodom." The Keaton movie is one of his most, well known and contains one of the best chase sequences ever written.
"Lot In Sodom” is based on a Biblical story and is told through an intricate series of symbols and rhythmical arrangements.
