Of His Experiences
By MARILEE MILROY
What is the meaning of the word?
"There is no answer as such ... no meaning as such," said William Saroyan before a capacity audience in Hancock Auditorium yesterday when he spoke on “The Word and the Writer.” From a paper prepared for the occasion, Saroyan read that a person learns the meaning of a word by “looking, reading, living, mistake-making ... it must be noticed and noticed again by a clear eye with love and pity.” Discovers Words
The contents of the paper read by Saroyan depicted specifically his discovery of the word and its j meaning to him.
When sent to the public school, Saroyan as a little boy was presented with the alphabet, reading and writing, things which he believed to be “spoilers of reality, bunk and skullduggery.”
One day, according to the writer, the teacher put the three leters C A T on the blackboard. To Saroyan the letters looked like “three pictures—none remotely resembling a cat.”
“Not Enough”
Saroyan related that while the others were learning the association of the letters with the cat that they knew at home, he was noticing other things and looking at life itself ... at people whose “gestures were not enough” to clarify the meaning of a word.
Speech was enough to carry him through his encounters with “the family, house, me and the world.” he said, “I could live, breathe, want, eat, sleep, laugh, play and have fun — why read and write?”
Saroyan found “no connection between being intelligent and creative and reading and writing.” He meant that a person who was illiterate could still be as creative as one who had training in reading and writing.
Thing-, Not Word
Impressing the audience; throughout his complete talk 1 with the idea that it was the 1 j “thing that is alive — not the j word,” the writer related his i discovery of that association of j word and thing when he was a newsboy.
“The purpose of the word,” he said, “is to influence man's behavior and nature . . , for the better.”
More to Say
With word's at his command “man notices more and has more to say.” The writer explained further. “The sun is still the sun when one calls it the sun but ! its relation to everything else , broadens and grows and it has more meaning every year.”

TV Cavalcade' Feature Research Man
Henry S. Noerdlinger, research consultant for Cecil B. DeMille's “Ten Commandments” and the j man whose book "Moses in Egypt” precipitated the SC Uni- | versity Press into the paper-back publishing world, will appear Sunday on KNXT’s Cavalcade of Books. He will be interviewed by the program’s moderators Geor- j giana Hardv and Turnlev Walker who will seek to have Mr. j Noerdlinger reveal some insight into the labor demanded of such ; voluminous research.
The book sawr its inception as j an effort at presenting a scholarly compilation of all the facts discovered from research for DeMille's “Ten Commandments” for further study by students of religion and philosophy. What had been scheduled as a limited edition, however, found its way to the attention of the general public and a popular demand for the work was soon followed. The SC University Press found itself in the highly competitive paperback field.

Minority Fraternity Reveals TNE Offer
By JIM BYLIN
Bob Jones, member o. Kappa Alpha Psi Negro fiaterntv. testified yesterday at the ASSC Senaie Committee on rlNL activities that he was approacii*d by TNE last vear and that they “wanted me to influence the Negro vote.”
“They told me iiiey \vc»e from the other side of the tiacK.” Jones said, explaining how. he knew that they were TNE.
He said that Tong oifered positions in the Kniglits and on the IFC council for members of the fraternity for bis support.
Terzian Offer
ASSC President Carl Teizian was brought back into the hearings by Jones when Jones sa:d: “Terzian said that if he and Mary Laird got in. I would hjYe two votes in the veil leaders selections.”
Jones testified that Terzian told him “to get your people out to vote.”
“Carl never offered an explanation why I didn't get ihe post," Jones said, explaining that he heard that university alumni didn't want a Negrj as a veil leader.
When asked by the committee what Terzian said to h rn after the selections, Jones bloke up the hearing oy saving;
"Mr. Terzian doesn't speak to me anymore.”
Interrupting Forces Jones' testimony was interrupted when Phil Kclrnui, Squires president, and Squire Ralph Rendon, burst into tbe j hearings wearing busker outfits, I screaming, “peanuts, popcorn.’’ I “I think that this wa» pretty poor that the presioen' of Squires, a member ot the Senate that passed the resolution, would attempt to make a farce of the hearings, Commit Lee Member Dave Geishenson said afterwards.
Larry Knudsen. former SC yell leader, told the committee headed by Bob Korinke that he saw a list “100 per cent accurate" of the selections of jell leaders before the Lnal choices were lo be made.
“Out of 20 to choose rrom. 1 they r.ad the four right Jy.vn j
the line including one that evervone was amazed to ,»ee,” Knudsen said.
He said that two people falsely claiming to be from the Daiiv Troj:in. sat in on the yeli leaoe..* school two days oetore tr.c selections "when evervone was to go through their routines” and took notes.
"The next day. the ’.st was out in its entirety and without a mistake,” Knudsen claimed.
Score Differences
Knudsen said that “later I saw my score” and that ne received a five out of a possicle live from Student Activities auvi.-'.r Harry Nelson, but that tne others were two twos and two threes.
He said that Terzian ra'od him a two without bein^ in '.he room.
The fact that Terzian .'aw .him perform for four months in Ine fall of 1955 was the rea <on t, !d to him for this, Knudstn said.
Claimed TNE Influence
He claimed the selections .vere TNE influenced Decause of the personnel who came in and watched the lehearsal. the manner in which the list appealed and also because oi the pei’.son nel on the selection cor.ini’t-C.
Other members of the committee, which has since I'xn enlarged to 15, included Barbara Frank. Jerry Nace and Dann Angeloff.

14 Hungarian Water Poloists Sleep in Bus
Fourteen members of the Hungarian Olympic swimming and water polo teams now in Los Angeles utilized a free American privilege and went on a “sleep down” strike last Wednesday night in protest to Jim Belsey, representative for Sports Illustrated magazine.
The 14 athletes spent the night in a Greyhound Bus in the parking lot of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house.
Originally scheduled to stay j at the Delta Tau Delta house, they protested that the accommodations on the complete tour were not good enough to insure them proper rest and also that "offensive" words and language was used by Belsey.
Water Poloist Miklos Martin, spokesman for the group, emphasized that the athletes had nothing against the Delts, but slept in the bus as a "method” of protest showing their displeasure with Belsey and the tour arrangement.
Two women swimmers, persuaded not to stay in the bus, slept at the Kappa Kappa Gamma I sorority house.
