answered at today's Philosophy j Forum when Herr Fritz-Joachim j von Rintelen, visiting professor of the School of Philosophy speaks on the subject “The Ex-1 istentialism of Martin Heideg- j ger” in Mudd Hall at 4:15 p.m. ' Existentialism is the school of I philosophy, developed by Kierde- j ; gaard, Danish philosopher of 100 ! years ago. which deals with the ■ merits and v alues of human ex- j istance and what it means to be j a human being in today’s world. I This philosophy was further | developed by Jean Paul Sartre, I late disciple of Kierdegaard and writer of many books expounding existentialism.
The modern aspect of Existen- | tialism was formed by Martin Heidegger. German philosopher, who discussed the ultimate question of human beings.
He did not get his theory of this philosophy from scientists or philosophers, but from poets who somehow captured the mysterious vision of the means of human existence.
Von Rintelen, was professor of philosophy at Joahannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany and has written two books, not yet translated to English. They are "The Order of Rank of Spirit.” the philosophy of the German writer Goethe, and “Philosophy is Finitetude,” “a mirror of our time.”

He clarified that they are not asking for group votes, but that they want “persons within the organization to voice opinions.” “We want the individual student attitude,” he said, explaining that the student body would also be asked for their opinions through the use of bulletin boards and the Daily Trojan.

“If there is controversy and wide differences of opinion, then we will give consideration to having the question put on the spring ballot as a referendum,” Williams declared.
Williams said that the resolution was “nothing more than a statement of principle by

Entries are in, posters are be-in& put up, tickets are being printed and sorority, fraternity and dormitory halls are ringing out with songs — all of which means that it's Songfest time again at SC.
Piano keyboard-inspired mobiles, reading “are you singing in Songfest,” are up all around school, and posters advertising the eagerly-awaited event are springing up in store windows and on campus.
All this is being done to help publicize the biggest Songfest in its brief four-year history. Songfest for 1957 is being planned bigger and better than ever before.
Hollywood Bowl Show
Being held in the Hollywood Bowl for the first time, this year's Songfest will be free from the confines and restrictions of the smaller Greek theater, where Songfest had been held in the past.
“Only 24 groups will compete in the final show,” said Gretchen Haller, Songfest treasurer, "but more than 60 have signed up for the auditions.” Fifty-two groups auditioned for the show-last year, and only 29 the year before.
Groups planning to participate in this year's Songfest, in six divisions, include:
Men’s small group Division, Kappa Sigma, Phi Sigma Kappa. Sigma Phi Epsilon, Tau Delta Phi, Delta Sigma Phi. Alpha Phi Omega, Alpha Tau Omega, Theta Xi, Psi Upsilon, Delta Tau Delta, Student Bar Association, Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi and Acacia.

Troy Chest collections got off to a slow start yesterday, and various school officials voiced disappointment in the students for not supporting this “once a year” charity drive.
First day collections amounted to $329 compared to $391 collected on the first day last year.
ASSC President Carl Terzian said, “I am very disappointed in the student attitude toward Troy Chest this year. We have had difficulty in getting students to serve on committees, to collect money and in showing the need which this campaign presents.

SHIRKING OF RESPONSIBILITIES
NSA Educational Vice President Criticizes Senate
Editor’s Note: Because of the interest which, has been engendered recently in the National Students Association of which SC is a member, the DT wiU present this and another story explaining the functions of NSA.
The ASSC Senate yesterday was severely criticized for both “short sightedness” and “petty shirking of responsibilities” by 20-year-old Ann Beckner, educational vice president of the National Students Association.
“When the SC Senate realizes how petty much of their debate on the NSA program has been so far and begins to recognize that they have responsibilities not only to the students of SC, but to those of the United States as a whole, perhaps the
value of NSA will become of more value to SC,” she declared.
“I believe the SC Senate defeated many of the resolutions in the NSA program because they didn't understand them,” she said.
“Apparently the majority didn't realize that the article on desegregation, for example, wras simply a small part of a much broader program — a program which is considered of extreme value by most educators in America today.”
Miss Beckner, who graduated from Denison University in Ohio last year, was formerly chairman of NSA’s Ohio-Indiana region.
Blaming much opposition to NSA to “uninformed and frightened1’ headquar-
ters of national fraternities and sororities, she stated, “NSA has often been called an enmy of college social organizations. This is not true at all.
“We feel fraternities and sororities have a valuable contribution to make to American college life, but they could do a much better job if they would stand up to the problems of our times instead of fighting everything that presents constructive solutions to them.”
Miss Beckner cited one of the main reasons for opposition to NSA as “lack of understanding” both about its purposes and the organization itself.
“NSA is not a pressure group, she said. “It is an organization of students, and the only organization that can reflect the
opinions and view's of the American college student.
“The Senate must realize that NSA is a confederation not a federation. The difference here is that what we do is not binding on our members. They retain the right of choice. Our resolutions are reflections of the majority of student opinion.” she continued.
“If one university decides to reject this majority opinion that is their right as a member of the confederation,”
She reiterated, however, that every college has a “duty’ to have an adequate knowledge of what it is they are voting upon before they reject it.
“We’re not trying to sell NSA as a service organization, either,” she continued.
“Rather, it is a place for students to exchange ideas and to speak on the problems of our day. Students have much in common, and we must recognize this fact,” Miss Beckner said.
“I feel, that if the ASSC Senate would realize the fact that educators, because of increasing enrollments and many other factors, are more and more looking to students for opinions and advice, they w’ould be more ready to assume responsibility and look at NSA from an unbiased view rather than from the strictly short-run interest that they have exhibited so often.
NSA can be of great value to every SC student, and I hope the Senate will recognize this,” she concluded.
