Causes for Eden s Resignation Cited

Lack* Leadership
“An important revolt started Against Eden last winter before the Suez crisis because of his lack of leadership on primarily domestic affairs,” Dr. Berkes said.
He noted that it was particularly interesting how the inia-tive that led to Eden's eventual downfall was taken by the Conservatives’ lareest newspaper supnorter, the Daily Telegraph.
“There was hope that in the spring when Eden came to the U.S. something forceful would have come out of his meeting with President Eisenhower,” j Berkes said.
Numerous Failures
The meeting:, he mentioned, apparently was unsuccessful. That, along with his other failures and finally the irreparable damage created by the Suez invasion, was enouch to permanently influence public opinion against him.
However, even considering Eden’s numerous failures. "I don't think his resignation would have occurred without the present Suez situation." Berkes added.
Wanted to be Friends
“It is really a rather pitiful i and pathetic picture. Here is a person who was known through-out the world for his desire to j do nothing to alienate the U.S. and other nations. It is surpris-
The SC professor also emphasized that Eden's failing health also had something to do with his resignation. He was no longer able to stand the pressures that arose because of his inability to solve the Suez situation.
Economic Factor Berkes was not so sure that if had Eden been successful in his attempt to dethrown Nasser, the outcome would have been any different for him.

TERZIAN BACKS HOLLINGER IN ST AT MENT TO STUDENTS
As a result of last Wednesday’s Senate action concerning the proposed TNE investigation, ASSC President Carl Terzian issued the following statement:
‘‘Wednesday evening Glen Hollinger was rejected by his Senate colleagues as a member of the TNE Investigating Committee. It is my feeling that Glen’s sincerity, honesty, and competence qualified him as a committeeman. Moreover, I feel his desire to serve the University is laudable.
“Glen was turned down after a group of skilled and emotional politicians used unfair and vicious tactics to discredit him. I could not help but feel that evening the Senate was initiating a terrible tradition of assuming each of its members was guilty until proven innocent.
“Those senators who voted against Glen with clear conscience deserve as much respect as this man who was so maliciously maligned before the university. Those who supported him with an equaL’y clear con-scence deserve the same respect.
“But those senators who cast aspersions against Glen without better reason than to jump on a winning bandwagon did the university a great injustice.
“Since taking office I have tried to encourage the Senate to constructively challenge and sincerely criticize my decisions at all times. This is necessary if real achievement and progress are to be ours.
“I hope that each senator will always feel free to do this. If I had to stand behind my convictions again, if my record and reputation and respect were at stake,
I would again back Glen with the same enthusiasm and confidence in his integrity. Until Glen proves to the contrary, I shall continue to have faith in him.

59 Musicians Prep Voices For Concert
Fifty-nine students will combine voices tonight and tomorrow night when the opera department presents “An Evening of Opera Excerpts ' in Bovard auditorium.
The curtain will rise at 8:30.
Nineteen soloists, supported by a 40-voice chorus, will perform.
Excerpts from “Iphigenia in Aulis,” "Pagliacci,” “Boris Godunov” and “The Abduction from the Seraglio” will be presented.
There will be both piano and organ accompaniment.
Walter Dueloux, head of the opera department, will direct the production. Settings and costumes are by Gary Campbell and Valerie Sasine.
Other members of the production staff are Dr. Wallace Berry, assistant musical director; French Tickner, assistant stage director; Marion Oles, executive secretary; Denis Warren, production manager; Gary Campbell, stage manager; Hans Beer and Carl Schultz, musical coaches; and William C. White, lighting.
“For any writer there is no better grounding than newspaper work,” she continued. "It provides one with sources of information. and helps him to develop self-confidence and to acquire ‘a newspaper air’.”
Miss St. John had advice for women reporters. “Do newspaper work while you’re young. Newspaper men respect you as long as you act like a lady and mind your manners.”
Miss St. John emphasized that the object in feature writing is to see what is happening. The feature writer has to look for the "odd ball” or human interest angle and be able to see what others miss.
‘Sob Story’ Writing In WTiting “sob stories” such as the Kathy Fiscus tragedy, the newspaper likes to send women reporters because they can “play up” the “sob” angle. "It was when I wrote the Fiscus story that my emotions began to give way and I decided to become a writer on my ow n,” she said.
It was the storv “My Friend God” that gave Miss St. John recognition as an independent uTriter. This story, now' in book form, is about the miraculous healing of the burned hand^ of her daughter, Christa.
Ghost Talk “Have yoif ever talked to a ghost?” Miss St. John asked her audience. In ghost writing, the author has to get so involved in the facts and feel of the person about whom he is writing, that when he sits down at his typewriter he is that person. “Every publisher is looking for good ‘ghosts,’ and it's a field that isn't difficult to crack,” she concluded.
Croup Honors PA Graduate
The School of Public Administration has honored one of their former students by starting a public fund in his name. It is the John W. Donner Publication Fund.
Each member of the faculty has contributed $25 to the fund which will be used to publish faculty dissertations, theses and writings.
Burkhart to End Semester Series
Sundays’ religious service at Bovard Auditorium will feature Dr. Wesley Robb, associate professor and chairman of the undergraduate department of religion. He will speak at 11 a.m. on “Making Religion Relevant.”
The fall semester series will end Jan. 20 with the Rev.
John Burkhart, Presbyterian Church Pastor, speaking on “Against the Crowd.”
Ex-Navy Chaplain Dr. Robb is a graduate of Greenville College in Illinois and has a master of Theology degree and Doctor of Philosophy from from SC.
Before joining the faculty here, he was a chaplain in th*
^ U.S. Navy and held an associate ; professorship at Dickinson Col-i lege.
Religion Relevant
Concerning his sermon Sunday, Dr. Robb said. “For many people religion has become irrelevant to the real issues of life because it has become meaning-I less. Many people have a certain nostalgia for the faith of their fathers but when it comes to the role of religion in resolving the important questions they turn elsewhere for guidance.” “However religion becomes relevant to the whole of life experience when we see it in its ! intended dimension. It must not [ be a substitute and it must not ! contradict what we know.” “Against the Crowd”
“Its function is to give to the j world of facts an interpretation i which brings meaning to the I particular as it stands in rela-| tionship to the whole.”
Rev. Burkhart, speaking a week from Sunday, commented that his sermon on “Against the Crowd ’ will grapple w ith some of the pressures toward conformity in the campus world. Spiritual Aspirin He contends that much of our current boom in religion is nothing more than spiritual aspirin, which “Doesn't cost much, doesn't do much, w’on’t hurt much and isn't worth much.” “What we need,” he said, "is to rediscover our individuality and shatter the conspiracy of silence against authentic piety.” The Rev. Burkhart is a graduate of Occidental College and Union Theological Seminary in New York. He was formerly book review editor of the Union Seminary Quarterly Review

"It provides one with sources of information. and helps him to develop self-confidence and to acquire ‘a newspaper air’.” Miss St. John had advice for women reporters. “Do newspaper work while you’re young. Newspaper men respect you as long as you act like a lady and mind your manners.” Miss St. John emphasized that the object in feature writing is to see what is happening. The feature writer has to look for the "odd ball” or human interest angle and be able to see what others miss. ‘Sob Story’ Writing In WTiting “sob stories” such as the Kathy Fiscus tragedy, the newspaper likes to send women reporters because they can “play up” the “sob” angle. "It was when I wrote the Fiscus story that my emotions began to give way and I decided to become a writer on my ow n,” she said. It was the storv “My Friend God” that gave Miss St. John recognition as an independent uTriter. This story, now' in book form, is about the miraculous healing of the burned hand^ of her daughter, Christa. Ghost Talk “Have yoif ever talked to a ghost?” Miss St. John asked her audience. In ghost writing, the author has to get so involved in the facts and feel of the person about whom he is writing, that when he sits down at his typewriter he is that person. “Every publisher is looking for good ‘ghosts,’ and it's a field that isn't difficult to crack,” she concluded. Croup Honors PA Graduate The School of Public Administration has honored one of their former students by starting a public fund in his name. It is the John W. Donner Publication Fund. Each member of the faculty has contributed $25 to the fund which will be used to publish faculty dissertations, theses and writings. Burkhart to End Semester Series Sundays’ religious service at Bovard Auditorium will feature Dr. Wesley Robb, associate professor and chairman of the undergraduate department of religion. He will speak at 11 a.m. on “Making Religion Relevant.” The fall semester series will end Jan. 20 with the Rev. John Burkhart, Presbyterian Church Pastor, speaking on “Against the Crowd.” Ex-Navy Chaplain Dr. Robb is a graduate of Greenville College in Illinois and has a master of Theology degree and Doctor of Philosophy from from SC. Before joining the faculty here, he was a chaplain in th* ^ U.S. Navy and held an associate ; professorship at Dickinson Col-i lege. Religion Relevant Concerning his sermon Sunday, Dr. Robb said. “For many people religion has become irrelevant to the real issues of life because it has become meaning-I less. Many people have a certain nostalgia for the faith of their fathers but when it comes to the role of religion in resolving the important questions they turn elsewhere for guidance.” “However religion becomes relevant to the whole of life experience when we see it in its ! intended dimension. It must not [ be a substitute and it must not ! contradict what we know.” “Against the Crowd” “Its function is to give to the j world of facts an interpretation i which brings meaning to the I particular as it stands in rela- tionship to the whole.” Rev. Burkhart, speaking a week from Sunday, commented that his sermon on “Against the Crowd ’ will grapple w ith some of the pressures toward conformity in the campus world. Spiritual Aspirin He contends that much of our current boom in religion is nothing more than spiritual aspirin, which “Doesn't cost much, doesn't do much, w’on’t hurt much and isn't worth much.” “What we need,” he said, "is to rediscover our individuality and shatter the conspiracy of silence against authentic piety.” The Rev. Burkhart is a graduate of Occidental College and Union Theological Seminary in New York. He was formerly book review editor of the Union Seminary Quarterly Review DR. WESLEY ROBB . . . Sunday Speaker Final Concert Slated Sunday Four sonatas — Prokofieff's Violin Solo, Charles Ives’ Fourth, Honeger's First and Ravel’s only sonata—will be presented by Joseph Szigeti at his final SC concert in Hancock Auditorium at 8:30 Sunday evening.
