SC Croup Adds Iceland At Model UN
The island-republic of Iceland, in addition to Israel, will be represented by SCs delegation to the Model United Nations to be held next month at Stanford University, it was announced Friday.
Glenn Hollinger, chairman of the 10-man Trojan delegation, said that David C. Hanley, a I member of the group, will be | SC’s head delegate for the Icelandic position. Henley's alter- | nate delegate will be Jerry Whitemore. also a member of j the SC delegation.
Trojan Contingent
The Trojan contingent, originally scheduled to represent only Israel at the week-long conclave at Palo Alto, decided to represent another nation at the meeting to give Israel’s side “another chance to be heard,” as Henlev put it Friday.
“Although Iceland and Israel are not in the least geographically. racially or economically similar, by representing Iceland in the General Assembly, the important of the United

Fellowship Grants To Be Offered to Fraternity Alumni
A plan to provide fellowships with the university for graduate ! students who are alumni of fraternities and who would act as I advisers to their fraternities ' lies been announced by the ad-| ministration.
Essentially, these graduate students would serve their fraternities as academic advisers and personal counsellors.
This would not mean the ad-; viser would assume the responsibility of the president or the alumni adviser, it would merely add a qualified person to aid with immediate house problems.
Nominating Process
Graduate student advisers are to be first nominated by the fraternity alumni association in co-operation with the undergraduate members. The final appointment would be decided by Counselor of Men Dr. Robert Gordon and the Dean of Students.
The selected adviser will receive a fellowship from the university amounting to eight tuition-free units for two semesters or $400 for a full year. The fraternity would then supplement this fellowship by giving the adviser free room and board.
Fraternities Adopt Plan
"Many fraternities have expressed a desire to adopt this plan for next year, and some are now receiving applications from their national offices," Dr. Gordon said.
Seven SC fraternities have already taken advantage of this plan. Among these are Beta Theta Pi, Fijis, Phi Sigma Kappa, Kappa Sigma. Delta Chi, AEPi and tbe most recent, Psi LTpsilon.
An estimated combined audience of 25,000 persons will hear the SC A Capella Choir during their spring tour of 10 California cities.
Starting today the group will give concerts in Burbank, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo, Pacific Grove, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Belmont, Hayward and Pleasonton. Following the fina.1. concert Thursday evening, the choir will visit San Francisco before returning to SC next week.
Except for three public concerts in the evening, the group will perform exclusively for students of high schools in the cities they will visit.
The A Capella Choir has toured widely throughout the Pacific Southwest in recent years. Currently in his second season as director of the group is Carl E. Druba.
Druba is on .leave from the State University Teachers College, Potsdam, N.Y., where he received his bachelor’s degree and is an assistant professor of music.

TWO COED DORMITORIES TO HOLD OPEN HOUSE
Crowds of students are expected to visit the Harris Hall-EVK Open House tonight from 7:30 to 11.
Harris Hall and Elizabeth von KIeinSmid women’s residence halls, located at 634 W. 34 St. and 635 W. 35 PL, respectively, are two of the most modern dormitories on campus and adjoin each other.
The residents have planned to use a St. Patrick Day theme for the occasion and on the doors of the roams will be tacked a shamrock with the names of the occupants.
Dancing and refreshments are to be enjoyed by all attending and the women have planned special mixing games such as “Snowball Dances” and the “Bunny Hop.”
President of Harris Hall, Bea Johnson said, “This is going to be one of the best open houses that the dormitories have staged in a long time . . . all the residents are enthusiastic about it and the only trouble we expect to encounter is that we might not have enough space for all the people.”
Harris Residence Hall houses sophomore, junior and senior students while EVK is the home of freshmen.
Mrs. Mary McCammond, head resident of Harris Hall said, “The open houses are like a rolling snowball . . . getting bigger and better every year.”

All students who have deferred tuition accounts are reminded that the first payments are due on March 19, 1957. except for those students registered under Public Law 550. Payments made after March 19 will be subject to the S5.00 late payment free unless an extension has been granted by the Office of Deferred Tuition. Checks and money orders for the exact amount are acceptable by mail or in person at the office of Deferred Tuition, ('ash payments must be made at the Bursar’s Office.
“Since all professional, honorary and service groups are eligible to sing in Songfest, as well as social organizations, we’re extending the deadline to permit their entries as well as any stray fraternity or sorority entries which have not yet been turned in,” Jenkins explained.
He emphasized the need for expediency, saying that selections chosen by groups with applications already in would have preference.
With its move from the Greek theater to the famed Hollywood Bowl this year. Songfest takes on a “new look.” Productions will be staged in a walk-on manner, since the Bowl does away with the curtain which hampered performers at the Greek in past years.
Greater Seating Capacity
In addition, seating capacity in the Bowl is far greater than in the smaller Greek theater, allowing for better seating and for the participants themselves to see the entire show’.
In past years, students participating in Songfest had to “sit it out” in the crowded confines of the Greek theater basement.

impression that religion was still in a dogmatic medieval stage by stating there are some people unable to combine religion and the scientific method of inquiry.
He said that Feynman did not. however, speak of the liberal minded modern religious people who question the why of religion, not merely accept it.
Dynamic View “Modern religious people,” Robb said, “have a dynamic, not a static, view of God.”
He explained this dynamic view' as the belief that God is the essence of life and of all things in the universe.
He said Feynman gave the impression that people prayed to a stationary God who deals out favors like a politician deals out campaign pamphlets.
In the debate, following his talk, Feynman said that religious people can’t weld the two pillars of western civilization— humility of the intellect (science) and the humility of the spirit (religion).
Book On Religion At this point, Robb asked Feynman if the scientist had read any books recently on religion upon w'hich Feynman could base his statement.
Feynman answered that religion is so old, any book written about it in the last year stating a new’ point of view would be a “truly remarkable book.”
Robb professes that many books concerning the combining of scientific and relig>0us beliefs are currently coming out of such prominent universities as Columbia and Oxford.

ASSC COMMITTEE HEARINGS
Senate Probers Resume TNE Investigation Today
The ASSC committee investigating TNE activities on campus gets rolling again today following a week-long lay-off for five-week examinations.
Bob Korinke, head of the committee of five members, said late Friday that he hoped to be back at the helm today. Korinke has been in the infirmary for the past week recovering from an appendectomy operation.
“I’ve been out of touch with the other members of the committee and I don’t now who Dave Gershenson has lined up to testify,” Korinke told a Daily Trojan reporter. “We are hoping to get Carl Terzian to testify sometime this week.”
Assumed Terzian to Testify

has a Student Activities Committee meeting.
“I want to testify toward the latter part of the week,” Terzian added. “And I think I have some information that will shed some light on the subject.” When notified that Terzian w’ouldn't be testifying today, Gershenson said that he would try to line up Joe Cerrell, former TRG head, for today’s 3 p.m. meeting in 129 FH. He wasn’t sure if Cerrell would want to make it a closed meeting, however.
Hope to Discuss progress “Providing the testimony doesn’t last too long, the committee is hoping to have a little while to discuss the progress they have made,” Gershenson added.
Committee members, besides Gershenson and Korinke, include Bob Ladd, Diane Ondrasik and Rafiq Ahmed.
ordered by the Senate a few weeks ago after certain student leaders charged that the subversive organization exists on this campus and that it is exerting its influence on SC politics.
“We are not anxious to crucify or embarrass any individual.” Korinke said when the investigations began two weeks ago. “What we are actually trying to do is find out if SC's student politics have been harmed by the existence of this clandestine group.
Hearsay Excluded “In addition,” he said, “our purpose is not to defame anyone's name by using hearsay. We don’t want anyone to accuse someone of membership in the organization unless they have definite proof.”
Conducted under the rules of the American Bar Association, the hearings are being advised by Dr. Totten J. Anderson of
