RICHARD RICHARDS
'35 VERSUS '42
SC Grads Staging Hot Senate Battle
(Editor’s Note: This is a second in a series of articles dealing with the C.S. senatorial race in California between two SC graduates. The incumbent, Thomas Kuchel, graduated in 1935 and the challenger. Richard Richards, graduated in 1942.)
Political power in the U.S. Senate wobbles precariously cn a tight rope. California and its 32 electoral votes (second only to New York which has 45) can easily provide the push that topples the Democratic or Republican Party from this delicate perch.
Since California possesses this balance-of-power position, Thomas Kuchel and Richard Richards have drummed up a political campaign that has all the trimmings and hullabaloo of an Academy Awards presentation.
In an interview with the DT, Prof. Totton J. Anderson of the political science department said that Kuchel depends on the Eisenhower personality and Republican Party to protect his senatorial seat.
“In similar fashion, Richards follows the Stevenson leadership and relies heavily on the Democratic ticket to unseat Kuchel,” he said.
In order to impress the voters, Kuchel and Richards whip each other with cutting personality attacks, divide sharply on local issues and blast individual legislative performances.
“Two reasons explain this heated campaign,” said Anderson. “Since public interest in an election campaign is
difficult to arouse, candidates frequently make scathing atacks on the ability of an opponent.” In addition, the controversial Proposition Four with its multi-million dollar advertising campaign has focused tremendous interest on the race.
Kuchel said recently that he supports public conservation of natural resources. But Richards disputes Kuchel’s brand of conservation. He points out that Kuchel voted against the Hells Canyon project, a project which Richards considers in the interest of conservation. Also. Richards criticizes Kuchel for supporting the Dixon-Yates bill. Richards feels that this bill is anti-conservation and allows private industry to plunder public property.
On the other side of the ledger, Kuchel calls Richards Ill-equipped to handle foreign policy. He feels that Richards is inexperienced and has not made a clear or positive statement on international relations. The Richards’ stand on the admission of Red China to the UN, the halting of H-bomb tests and the discontinuance of the draft draw vigorous criticism from Kuchel.
On several occasions Richards challenged Kuchel to public debate only to be refused. Anderson commented that this is a clever political trick often used by an effec- ‘ tive debater who knows that his opponent is not of the same quality. While Kuchel makes a good campaign speech, he does not make a good debater. Richards, however. is an enthusiastic and active public speaker. He was on the SC debating squad when he attended college.
The political science pro-*, fessor discussed President >
Eisenhower’s recent appearance in the Hollywood Bowl.
“He came to California to rescue Kuchel in addition to& restoring his own popular support,” said Anderson. “Al- j, so, the President wanted to • overcome some of the antipathy about Nixon that exists among Democrats, independ- * ents and a certain segment of | the Republican Party.”
It is quite possible that| the 450 organized Democratic ; clubs in California who campaign vigorously for Richards may have provided some impetus for the Eisenhower visit. Anderson said that such clubs provide “the grass roots strength of the Democratic Party.”
On the labor front, both candidates are scrapping for support with Richards having the edge in a not too clearly defined area of voting blocs. Richards has the 1

In Campus Poll pjj^p
DT Conducts Quiz On Election Race
By BOB SCHI LKE
The big question in the minds of SC students this week is, “who wi’l win the national presidential election race tomorrow?”
In an attempt to find the answer to this controversial question, the DT conducted an extensive campus poll, gathering opinions from students of all ages.
Senior Howard Levaux. a 23-year-old Math major, is casting his vote for Democratic candidates Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver. He emphasized tint he thought President Eisenhower’s poor health was a major reason why Ike will be defeated on Nov. 6. “I feel that Stevenson is the better man for the job,” Levaux said.
Experience Counts
Donna Webster and Ann Lipp, Dental Hygiene majors, both 20,
| are climbing aboard the Eisen-: hower - Nixon bandwagon. Miss Lipp stated that she feels Eisenhower has had more experience in military matters and could better direct the nation “if we go to war.” Stevenson, she said, is more the politician.
“Nixon is the product of the local state political machine. I wouldn’t want to see that machine take over the White House if anything should happen to the president,” said 22-year-old senior Marketing major Dick Goodman. He will vote the Democratic ticket tomorrow.
Law major Don Boehme, 25, doesn’t agree with Goodman. Boehme believes that the nation is in good hands.
“I think the state of affairs is as good as it can possibly be,” the Law major said. Boehme went on to explain that in his opinion the Democratic campaign has been more of a personal attack on Eisenhower and Nixon than anything else.
Ike Can Handle Crisis
Graduate student in the School of Social Work. Ann Panaccion, expressed concern over the vice presidential candidate running on the Republican ballot. “I believe that Nixon should have more political experience before continuing such an important office in our government,” said Miss Panaccion. Stevenson and Kefauver are her choices for the next four years.
“I feel that Ike is best equipped to handle the problems we face in the Middle East.” That is the opinion of graduate student Phil Dorner, 32, also a reporter for the Valley Times. Dorner pointed to President Eisenhower’s past record as a major reason why he will place his X with the Republicans.

"Teacher morale is one of the most challenging problems in education today,” said James A. Bennett Colton elementary school principal, and Dr. Emery Stoops, associate professor of educational administration at SC.
Bennett is a candidate for the doctor of education degree in the SC School of Education.
They have just published an article. “Seven Freedoms for Teachers,” in the current issue of "The School Executive.” It was reprinted in part of the New York Herald Tribune.
The seven factors are:
1.	Freedom to belong: affiliation with the group and acceptance by one’s colleagues.
2.	Freedom from pressure groups, protecting the teacher from non-professional persons who seek to gain control of the teacher's personal life.
3.	Freedom from financial worry-
4.	Freedom from poor environment; providing pleasant physical working conditions.
5.	Freedom from conservatism, enabling the teacher to fulfill his own ideas of teaching, instead of forcing him into the conventional pattern, and thereby nurturing Ms creative powers.
6.	Freedom from overwork.

Foreign Students Visit Santa Paula
For the fifth straight year. SC foreign students spent a weekend in homes at Santa Paula to experience the American way of life.
Thirty-six SC students from 20 countries left the campus Friday to participate in the event, sponsored by the Santa Paula Rotary Club, this was announced by Dr. H. I. Q. Brown, general chairman. The students met their hosts at 6:30 at the Masonic Temple in Ventura County City.
Non-Citizens To Witness U. S. Election
SC foreign students will be given a first hand view of the American democratic process in action tomorrow when they visit local polling precincts.
The students will gather in 102 FH at 2 p.m. to hear Dr. Totton J. Anderson, associate professor of political science, speak on election procedures before they embark on their tour of polls, counting places, and local newspaper offices.
Druggists’ Idea The idea originated with Shir-ish Advaryu, Jagdish Trivedi and Arvind Trivedi, graduate students from India in the School of Pharmacy.
The three 6tudents took their idea to Dr. Albert S. Rauben-heimer, educational vice president. who in turn asked John Berger, vice president of the School of Pharmacy, to put the plan into action.
Last Wednesday, the Senate unanimously passed a resolution to provide escorts for the foreign students, who represent over 70 countries. The escort will be composed of members of the Amazons and Squires, SC service organizations.
First of Kind “This tour will be the first of its kind eevr conducted at this university, and will certainly be an invaluable experience for the foreign students to take back to their countries,” said Rafiq Ahmed, foreign students representative.
He pointed out that students desiring to be in the group should sign up in the foreign students adviser’s office. 322 SU, today and early tomorrow.

Noon Reading Christianity's
Told by Rev.
Dr. William H. Davenport, professor of English, will read from the works of Stephen Spender today in 129 FH from 11:30 to 12:30 p.m.
Today’s program is the sixth in a series of “Noon Readings” presented by the Department of English.
“Stephen Spender is the outstanding living English poet.” said Dr. Davenport, “he has struck with the lyric type of poetry writing and has kept up with modern times instead of using an outmoded style as many of today’s writers are doing.”
“Spender was intorduced into this country in the ’30s when the period in poetry called “The New Generation” was just beginning. He has become widely known in the United States through his many lectures in colleges and universities,” Dr. Davenport said.
The subject of next week’s readings will be “Variety in Verse” and will be read by Dr. Lynn Clark. The readings are open to students, faculty and the public.

Is Christianity a more adequate perspective than other perspectives of life?
Is it a better faith than the alternate naturalistic faiths?
Yes, said the Very Rev. James A. Pike, dean of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine at New York City, in the first of weekly chapel services held yesterday morning in Bovard Auditorium.

What Rev. Pike proposed, then, is a “supernatural-naturalism” which is a perspective allowing of a view broad enough to take into account all established natural data and supernatural reality as well.
This perspective, he said, is Christianity.

that what is true today under certain conditions will be true tomorrow under the same conditions.”
Otherwise, Rev. Pike said, “His careful investigations would be meaningless.”

propositions.
Appearing on the present ballot is a proposed law which, if it gets a favorable nod will become an iron-clad law. It will become a law just as it is, in full detail, as if it had been passed by the State Legislature and bore the Governor’s signature.
This proposed law is called Proposition 4, and it has been written up in 31 pages of fine print, with about 30 thousand words. It has totlo with oil production in the state of California
and limiting oil production. In order to have this appear on the ballot, a group of large oil companies got together and hired solicitors to take petitions around and get the 350 thousand necessary signatures. These solicitors were paid 25 cents per signature.
If this proposition becomes part of the basic law of the ■ state of California, there is nothing the Legislature or the Gov-j emor, or anybody else can do about it. The Legislature is not permitted to amend it or correct it. The Legislature can not repeal it. The only way that any change or repeal can be made is by another proposition at some later election, in which the voters again express their preference. and decide by majority to accept the proposed changes.
Prohibit Waste The stated purpose of Proposition 4 is to prohibit waste in oil production and to provide for unit operation of pools to in-
of
’ crease the ultimate recovery oil.
Proponents of Proposition 4 claim that through this fact the amount of oil to be recovered from California’s pools will be more than doubled. If this is true, the resultant benefits to : the consuming public, the oil industry and to state and local governments are tremendous.
The opponents generally agree that unit operation would more than double California’s oil reserves, but they argue that unit operation should be voluntary, agreed to by 100 per cent of the owners, that the present laws are adequate, and that Proposition 4 is in reality a plan to throttle California’s oil production.
Biggies For It
