Harris Cools Hof Race With Ease
What was promised as a hot, hard race for the presidency of the Trojan Young Republicans, slowed to an elephant walk yesterday as incumbent President Harvey Harris turtle-trotted into another term on a unanimous ballot.
Harris, who appealed Monday to the alleged 350 members of his organization to save it from expected pressures from “outside interests," was reelected in a matter of minutes by the 50 or so persons who attended the all-out meeting.
Harris ran unopposed.
The TYR president immediately pledged a vigorous membership drive for the fall semester to expand the club to 1,000 members.
In other rough-and-tumble contests for the vital seats on the club’s board, Dave Hepburn was elected to the first vice presidency by a unanimous vote and Dick Moss was reelected to the treasurer spot, also unanimously.
Both men also ran unop posed.
Steve Blume was elected to the club’s second vice presidency after a battle with an opponent who received one vote, and Melinda Grubb landed the post of corresponding secretary in a race that expanded to three contestants.
Judy Hunter became recording secretary.
x TYR President Harris has seen signs of an attempted takeover of the campus political group since the county Young Republican convention in December, at Vvhich his delegation opposed the successful election of an ultraconserva-tive slate.
He has said he would regard this election as a mandate from the membership for (Continued on Page 2)
i of Town and Gown, said the number of heart attacks in older women also could be decreased by use of the female hormones.
“I would like to see the average life span of women increased from 71 to 100 years,” 'she said.
Look Younger Dr. Marmonston, one of'the few women elected a fellow of the American College of Physicians, indicated that women would look and feel younger after reaching menopause if they were given the minimum dosages of female hormones.
She said minimum dosages of the hormones would enable the outer shells of individual body cells to remain softer much longer so that food, oxygen and vitamins could properly nourish the cells.
The result, she said, would be that women would live long er, feel younger, and maintain an active interest in their surroundings far longer than worn-* en do at present.
Analyze Hormones She recommended every woman have her hormones analyzed when she reaches menopause so that deficiencies could be discovered and replaced before any damage resulted.
Dr. Marmonston, selected by the Los Angeles Times as the 1960 woman of the year in medicine because of her research in endocrinology, also stressed the importance of female hormones in preventing heart attacks.
She described research she has done that successfully prevented further heart attacks in patients with the use of female hormones from a bear. She said the hormones controlled the cholesterol count in the blood stream.
Few Deficiencies A young woman, Dr. Marmonston explained, seldom has heart trouble because she seldom has hormone deficiencies.
Dr. Marmonston also has done research on the effects of female hormones on men who suffer heart attacks. She said two hormones she had tried did not work.
Excess weight, lack of exercise and too much smoking in crease the danger of suffering heart attacks, she also pointed out, recommending that everyone protects his heart through careful daily habits.
She particularly recommended that vegetable oil be subsiti tuted for animal fats in preparing foods.
Dr. Marmonston, who does heart and cancer research, has studied the possible relationship between hormones and heart attacks for years.
A graduate of the University of Buffalo, she is the wife of Lawrence Weingarten, an MGM executive producer.

Fluid Lighting For Stop Cap
to Keynote Action Theater Production
By RICHARD COX
Fluid lighting, the process of using lights to keynote the action, will be used to emphasize the contrast between illusion and reality in Luigi Pirandello’s “Six Characters in Search of an Author,” to be staged at Stop Gap theater next week.
Director Kemal Horulu, master’s degree candidate in drama, explained yesterday that lights will replace much of the scenery in the production.
“Moods will be created by the emotional stress of the lights, which will be used to bring out the action,” the director said.
The two groups of people that will be on the stage represent two levels of life, he said. “One is an organic group like you and I, and the other an illusionary group,” Horulu explained. “The illu-sionary characters are actually more important because they can transcend reality and live eternally.”
In addition, each of the illusionary characters exists at a different emotional level. The father and the stepdaughter are on the highest level, while the son is “almost static emotionally.”
Almost all critics have analyzed'the play differently, Horulu said. Pirandello became so dis-
gusted with the different interpretations of his play that he wrote an explanatory preface for it, 10 years after its first performance.
His own interpretation differed widely from the others.
“There are many questions about the play that Pirandello lets the audience answer for itself,” he explained. “To me the play is a tricky combination of truth, reality and illusion, with the six illusionary characters representing unchangeable truth.”
The director, who has been getting about four hours of sleep a night while preparing the production, described the work as a fusion of comedy, fantasy, tragedy and realism.
“The six are invited by a company of real actors to stage two scenes, in which these four elements are combined,” he reported. “The six are not able to bring their scenes to conclusion, however, because there is so much dissention among them.”
Tickets for the production, featuring David Ackles, Marsha Moode, and Lynn Raynor are available at the Drama Office, 3709 S. Hoover, for $1. The show will run nightly at 8:30 from April 10 through 14.
Music Dean Kendall Raps Critics; Finds Newspaper Reviews Shallow
By JUDITH KELCHNER
Most music criticism today is too superficial, Dean Raymond Kendall of the School of Music said yesterday at the Philosophy Forum.
Speaking as part of the current series on the arts, Dean Kendall discussed “Toward a New Aesthetic in Music Criti-
sm.”
The former Mirror music critic blamed much of the poor criticism today on the frustrating circumstances under which music journalists must work.
“Editorial policy makes it mandatory t o include the names of all the performers Jand their works,” he said. “This
leaves little time or space for careful evaluation.”
Dean Kendall claimed this “quickie criticism” must be discontinued.
“The routine listing of names and works should be left to secretaries,” he said.
“The critic should be allowed to pick out special performances and to prepare him-s e 1 f to carefully and intelligently evaluate them.”
Dean Kendall insisted that adequate criticism cannot be made unless the critic has thoroughly studied the composition.
“Every concert given shouldn’t have to be reviewed,” he said. “It is silly to review a
Beethoven concert which is be-directional, and it is irreversi-ing presented for, say, the 19th .ble,” he said. “It can be speed-

time in a season.
Citing other faults of critics, the music professor said some critics pick out small errors, or use their writing to be witty or to promote some interest of their own.
“The world is infested with these small-minded creatures,” he said.
This is causing an emphasis on technical perfection, especially in recordings, at the expense of inspired performances, the critic claimed.
He cited the case of an artist who will discard several “takes,” no matter how inspired, in favor of one which is technically perfect.
“This artist is afraid of what a critic may say if he discovers one small error in form,” he explained.
Dean Kendall feels it is meaningless to speak of music as good or bad.
“It is either well wrought or poorly wrought, either appropriate or inappropriate according to the circumstances in which it is performed,” he said.
The critic noted that one of the differences between music and the other arts is that music exists in time.
Music is uni-linear and uni-

School Gets AMA Grant
A grant of more than $50,-000 has been given to the School of Medicine by the American Medical Association’s Education and Research Foundation.
The check was presented to the school by Dr. Warren L. Bostick, president of the California Medical Association, Monday.
Grants totaling more than $168,000 were given to five California medical schools. Dr. Bostick said that the schools may use the money in whatever field needed.
ed up or slowed down only slightly to still retain its qualities.”
Dean Kendall claimed that another difference between music and the other arts is that in musii, the performer is imposed between the artist (composer) and the audience.
“The music consumer is not handed a complete book or picture, but rather each performance is different,” he said. The only exception is recorded performances.

plans to present the biU, which! he and the University Students; Party are sponsoring, when j the Senate meets in the Sen-! ate Chambers, 301 SU, at 6:30. | Meal Ticket
Another bill the Senate will j consider recommends tha^ the university set up a meal ticket program that would enable commuting students who eat on campus every day to purchase their semester’s meals for a lump sum. The tickets would be redeemable at any campus dining facility.
The USP bill, which deals with budgets and activities of campaigners, was designed to provide a “realistic set of rules” in which office seekers may operate without constantly being in danger of doing something illegal, Frazin claimed.
The revisions demand that political parties limit their expenditures so that campaign costs can be divided among the campaign budgets of the candidates supported by the party.
Increase Budgets
In turn* the budgets of individual candidates have been increased so they will be able to withstand the multiplied expenses of a party campaign.
Candidates for Executive Cabinet offices would be allowed to spend $200 rather than the present $75, while yell king candidate budgets would be increased from $75 to $125. All other candidates would be permitted to spend $50 rather than $30.
Frazin said the revisions would prohibit candidates from using outside speakers and would limit use of rallies.
The same restraint b^ing applied to candidates will be applied to parties,” he said. “We are trying to bring USC politics above board so that every individual will have chance to seek office within the party system.”
Permanent System
The senators will also consider a bill that would set up a permanent system of binding and publishing statutes passed by the Senate each year, Bob Kendall, Senate president, said.
The purpose of the bill, presented by Biological Sciences Senator Tom Bell, is to enable future student leaders to have a means of referring to earlier legislation.
An amendment to a recent Senate bill rejected by the administration will be reviewed by the Senators.
The administrators suggested that the bill, which reorganized the committee system of the Executive Cabinet, be amended so that the chairmen of several of the committees would be selected by committee members.

He is a research associate in the human factors research division of the School of Dentistry and supervisor of the LaPota-Research Center in the physical education department. The professor also is a member of the American College of Sports Medicine.
Foreign Students to Back International Center Plans
The ASSC Foreign Students Committee voted yesterday to give unqualified support to the TRG committee seeking backers for an International Center in the empty Acacia house on the Row.
The meeting yesterday of foreign student representatives was marred by a split on whether to give full support to TRG's group, or to support thc new center and express disapproval that the ASSC
committee wu not consulted,	h [rom lhe

the Row would bring increased formal contact between American and foreign students.
It was pointed out that the campus itself is nearly deserted in the afternoon because commuting students go home and most American students go to the Row.
There was no discussion on financing the proposed center, but most foreign students present were pleased that the campaign for an International Center was originated by stu-
All members of the ASSC foreign students group were in favor of the center itself. Chairman Tomas Bergendal put off creation of a subcommittee on the center until the group’s next meeting.

There was no representative of the TRG International Cen-
ter committee present at yesterday’s meeting to explain what progress has been made so far.
Members at the meeting represented the Arab Students Association and the Pakistan Students Association, as well, as individual students from other countries.
The group also considered inviting the TRG committee to become a subcommittee of the ASSC committee, but no decision was reached on this point.
FoUowing the Intemationl Center discussion, Chairman Bergendal thanked the members who planned the dance after the Festival of Nations Day activities.
He noted that 240 people were at the dance, and that fraternity and sorority participation made the dance the first foreign students function in some .time that was truly
international.
Pakistan student Rauf Khan and Japanese student Noriko Yamamoto were in charge of the event. At yesterday’s meeting Khan was made chairman of a new subcommittee to make plans for more social events with the support of Row groups.
