Foreign Site' Gets Support Of Students
By PONCHITTA PIERCE
A proposal to transform the Acacia house on the Row into an International Center received the support of foreign and American students as an “extremely” gcod and practical idea in an informal campus poll yesterday.
Although students questioned viewed the center as a possible solution to the “foreign student problem," they did not accept it as a panacea for bridging the gap which they claim exists between American students and visitors from other lands.
Feel Alone
“So many foreign students feel alone, ousted and lost at USC," Linda Paul, junior math major, said in a typical reply.
“Such a center—provided all students participated — would* allow ‘mixing’ on an equal level and would remove many of the forces that tend to segregate American and foreign students,” she said.
The International Center has been put forth by an open student committee formed with the support of Trojans for Re- \ presentative Government. The committee is asking for financial support of the center from Greek houses, phUantropic and business groups and especially commuter and independent students.
‘Quiet Rule*
Many students who were polled at random pointed to the YWCA and the Student Lounge in the Student Union as acceptable meeting places, but agreed that the “quiet rule” of the lounge and the infrequency of international gatherings at the Y, has complicated solution of the problems of foreign students.
Others felt that while a house or central location was a necessary step in the right direction, attitudes toward such a center and general acceptance of it were equally important.
“Foreign students first must be oriented to campus life,” said Sweehai Ong, a junior in pre-med. “Many of them are totally unfamilar with the Row and student government, and consequently do not participate in activities.”
Patriotic Air A hope that the project will not take on a “patriotic air,” was expressed by Bonnie Telford, a freshman in humanities.
She felt teas and other similar functions designed to improve “relations” have been ineffective because of a “duty” attitude on the part of American participants that they should be “nice to foreigners.”
As a result, she said, once the duty is performed, the for-e i g n students are relatively forgotten and all the enthusi-of the semester dwindles to a mere spark by the seoond or third month.
“Most of the foreign students at first are suspicious, curious
FOND MEMORIES — Dr. Carl Q. Christol, chairman of the political science department, sheds light on his former classmate, Byron “Whizzer” White, recently appointed Supreme Court Justice by President Kennedy.
Professors' Chum Makes Bench"
By JERRY LABINGER
Whether he was tossing a football around on the field or discussing an involved question of law in the classroom, Byron “Whizzer” White, who was appointed associate justice of the Supreme Court by President Kennedy Friday, invariably stood out, even among the standouts.
That’s the vivid recollection of two USC professors, Dr. Carl Q. Christol, who was a classmate of White’s in the Yale Law School in 1946, and Law Dean Orrin B. Evanls, wh> had the Deputy Attorney General in a class that same year.
Confirmation Needed
Only Senate confirmation is needed for White to replace Charles Evans. Whittaker, 61, who retired Sunday on doctor's orders.
“We used to play some touch football and throw the ball
around during our* free time," Dr. Christol, chairman of the political science department and professor of international law, recalled yesterday.

Forum to Cover Criticism of Music
Dean Raymond Kendall of the School of Music will discuss the impact of criticism on the world of music this afternoon at 4:15 at the Philosophy Forum in Bowne Hall.
His topic, "Toward a New Aesthetic in Music Criticism,” will be part of the forum’s theme of “Reflecting on the Arts.”
"Criticism has a very definite impact on music, as it has on the other arts, and I will present a change between the current viewing on the day-to-day basis and its relation to music criticism," Dean Kendall said.
Dean Kendall will be the fifth of six campus lecturers for tlie weekly series, which is nearing the end of its 64th season.
This semester’s program has brought experts in the individual fields to speak on the arts of cinema, poetry, painting, music and architecture.
Dr. William H. Werkmeister. director of the Philosophy
School, said that the forum has been planned to have people concerned with the various arts express their views on the meaning and importance of art in life and its relation to life.
“We get the best talent in the various arts to give these lectures, which are an expression of our belief that philosophy can be a bridge bringing all fields of humanities into one focus,’’ he said.
Dr. Werkmeister believes that tlie world of art is the richest world in which the mind can dwell.
The sixth, and concluding, speaker of the series will be Dean Samuel T. Hurst of the School of Architecture, who wil] speak on the “Aesthetics and the New Architecture” next Tuesday.
Last week Edgar Ewing, professor of fine arts, lecture^ on “The Eye of the Mind and the Eye of the Hand," in which lie described two aspects of art — its creation and its appreciation.
games,” he continued. “We’d choose side s—there would be about four, five or six on a side—have a game and then shower.
Played Fair
“White would never try to make the rest of us look bad, even though he knew how to handle a football much better than any of us (White was an All-American gridder at the University of Colorado in 1937 and later starred as a running back for the professional Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers).
“He would lob a pass at us instead of trying to steam the ball to us, and he wouldn’t use all his ability to outrun and cutfake us,” Dr. Christol re called.
“He was a good sport and would stop immediately when he was tagged.”
Taught White
Dean Evans, assxiate dean of the Law School who taught White in his final course (Debtors Estates) at Yale before graduation, said that the justice-elect was a “brilliant student who always went to the heart of the matter in a class discussion.”
White, a Phi Beta Kappa and Rhodes scholar, was number one in a class of about 150 in the Yale Law School, Dean Evans remembered.
“They were selective admissions, too,” he emphasized. Held Position “He served as a law clerk to the late Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson in the summer of 1946, even though White hadn’t even graduated from school,” Dean Evans added.
“He had# only one course, which I taught, to take the following fall, so he commuted frcm Washington, D. C., every week. He stayed at school for the three days he had the class r.nd spent the rest of the time in court.”
The personal side of White,
; as noted by the two professors, !i? also quite revealing.
Called Byron I “Strangely .he preferred everyone to call him Byron, not ‘Whizzer,’ and he was certainly able to get away with it,” Dean Evans thought back.
“Believe me, no one called him ‘Lord Byron’ or ‘Lord Fauntelroy’ because while he wasn’t big—he was about 5-10, 175 pounds—there was some-thing formidable about him and I had the feeling that the rest of the students had an awful lot of respect fofr him.
Was Reserved “He was reserved—he didn’t kid around much—and he had perfect manners, poise and control,” the dean noted.
“He w'as also a tough-minded individual, however, as his hard expression and cold gray eyes indicated,' but he never threw’ his weight around.”
Dr. Christol viewed White in about the same light.
“He was very pleasant and congenial, but serious, and not the type of guy who went around slapping people on the back.”
Theta Chis, Alpha Gams Win Trophies
Theta Chi and Alpha Gamma Delta led the fraternity and sorority races in total percentage of donations in last week’s Blood Drive competition, drive chairman Jim Walsh reported yesterday.
Theta Chi, which also came in first in the point tabulation , Friday, led the percentage race | with 66 per cent for 33 pints, | w hile Alpha Gam snared the | sorority lead with 35 per cent j cf its members donating. The | Alpha Gams finished second in the point tallies.
The trophies in the point race were awarded on the basis of total signups as well as actual donations, wh;l<* the pint trophies were awarded on the basis of total percentage of membership that donated, Walsh explained.
Point System
The point system gave one-half point to each person who signed up but who was rejected, one point to each o ;rson who donated, and one and one-half points to persons who signed up and donated.
“The point competition was chiefly for the big houses on the Row, while the percentage competition was set up for the little houses,” ^Valsh said.
In dormitory races, Town and Gown won the percentage trophy for the women's dorms with a turnout of 19 per cent for 19 pints, and Stonier led the men’s dorms with 6 per cent for 9 pints. Stonier and Town and Gown also won the point trophies with 13 and 22 pints, respectively.
Service Trophies
Service group trophies were won by Trojan Knights in the men’s division with 17 pints, while Amazons bested Spurs and Chimes with 9 pints in the women’s section. Both Knights and Amazons also led their divisions in the point competition.
Runners-up in the fraternity competition were Sigma Alpha Epsilon with 38 donations for 63 per cent; Theta Xi, 13 pints for 32 per cent; Kappa Alpha, 13 pints for 20 per cent; ar.d Tau Epsilon Phi, 12 donations for 17 per cent of total membership.
The sorority runners-up were Alpha Phi, 25 per cent; Kqppa Delta, 24 per cent; Kappa Kappa Gamma, 18 per cent; and Alpha Delta Phi, 14 per cent.
Walsh said he could not release total pint donations for the sororities because Panhellenic Adviser Shirley Barkley said the information wou’.l indicate the total membership ol the houses.

TYR Leader Urges Voters To Come Out'
USC Summer Classes Will Host Scholars
The third annual resident summer session for superior high school students will be held this year on campus for six-weeks, the summer session office reported recently.
A total of 36 secondary school students who have completed their junior year will be accepted for college-level study. The students, who will live in campus dormitories from June 25 to Aug. 3, will enroll in a core course, “Great Issues and Ideas in the Growth of Western Civilization,” and in an elective course in their fields of special interest.
Forty special lectures and seminar discussions for the students will feature regular members of the faculty. Seminars, discussion groups, social activities and attendance at cultural events both on and off campus will fill the students’ evenings.
Applications, for the seven units of transferable college credit are due April 20. They may be obtained by writing the director of the Summer High
School Honors Program at the university.
More than 700 courses have been scheduled for the 57th regular Summer Session, which will also open June 25. A res ident faculty of 300, augmented by 100 educational leaders from across the country, will teach in the four-, six- and ten-week semesters.
Dr. Paul Hadley, dean of the Summer Session, said that courses of special interest to teachers, engineers and students of medicine, drama, li brary science, languages, mu sic, mathematics and art are being offered.
The Schools of Education and Business Administration will conduct special 12-week summer semesters, he said.
Noted guest educators during the summer period will include Dr. C. C. Trillingham, superintendent of Los Angeles County Schools, in education; Alan S. Downer. Princeton U/iiversity, who will present a seminar in dramatic criticism; and Shakespearean authority Irving Ribner of Tulane University.
may also meet Oxford University over national television. The English university recently sent a note to NBC, challenging the winner of the “Championship Debate” series to a title match.
Negative Stand Moes and Deacon took the negative against the University of Pacific on the topic, “Resolved; that subsidies for college athletes should be abolished” for the 2-1 win The USC debate champs are hoping for the negative when they battle in the semi-finals April 28 on the question, “Resolved: that Congress should have the power to reverse the
decisions of the Supreme Court.”
They landed their bid for | the quarter-finals Feb. 17 when they trounced the University of Oregon, 3-0, on the topic, “Resolved: that marriage is undesirable for undergradu ates.” Moes and Deacon took the affirmative side against Oregon.
Team Optimistic The debaters, forensdes di rector Dr. James H. McBath, moderator of the TV show, and debate coach John Frazer, fresh from last Saturday’s vie tory, all are optimistic about USC’s chances in the semi finals. ^
Dr. McBath and Frazer noted, however, that competition was close during the quarter-final round.
“As moderator of the show, I had many things on my mind, but it seemed to me that the debate was nip and tuck all the way,” Dr. McBath said.
Frazer felt that the TV clash wasn’t as “sharp” is it might have been.
Members of the winning team of the TV debate series will receive a full graduate scholarship. Second place team will receive a paid European vacation.
India Lacks Scientific Knowledge, Technology, Visiting Physicist Says
India has yet to achieve the symbiotic relationship of science, technology and education that is vital to a nation’s progress, a visiting Indian nuclear physicist said yesterday Dr. B. D. Nag Chadhuri, director of the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics in Calcutta, who is on campus on the invitation of the American Institute of Physics, said in an interview that his country’s socie- cemed,” he reported. “But as
Problems of a nation of 400 million which has only 30 universities are myriad, he said. The universities cannot meet the demands of great numbers of students who seek training in the sciences.
“Tne past 10 or 12 years have seen much progress in India as far as both basic research and application is con-

ty still does not realize the importance of these factors to the economy and culture.
The needs of the Indian people reveal the obvious connec-t i o n between scientific progress and practical application, but the nature of Indian society sometimes creates diametric oppositions to such developments, he noted.
“T h e emphasis of classical Indian education has always been on the inductive method and contemplative thinking,” he explained. “This is a basic pattern of the culture and as such is anti-thetical to tlie demands of experimental science.”
The University of Calcutta faculty member said that, although India’s desire for capital, industrial power and foodstuffs is great, such problems as the above are important elements to the continued advance of the nation.
in the United States, problems o' individual performance and achievement in relation to the need for an educational system that offers a broad based, rational education to the country’s millions exists.
The physicist said that his general field, nuclear energy, will not be important to Indian progress until far in the future.
“There is one reactor producing electrical power in thc Punjab, and others are proposed, but the real problems of India exist in the more complex and less exciting areas of education and social advance,” he explained.
Dr. Nag Chadhuri, who spoke yesterday t o faculty members on low energy research. will speak again Thursday night at 7:30 in 226 FH on “Technology and Science and India.”
The 350 members of the Trojan Young Republican Quo were urged to attend their club’s elections today at 3:30 in 129 FH by President Harvey Harris.
Harris, who predicted a possible fight for control of the TYR by “outside interests,” said he hoped all members would use the elections to show their own attitudes.
“I am concerned about the possibility of these outside groups of small cliques gaining control of the club, so I hope that all registered TYR members will prevent this by attending and voting,” Harris said.
Board Elections
He said that a complete board—president, first and second vice presidents, recording secretary and corresponding secretary—will be elected today.
“We will also take signups for members-at-large at the meeting,” he added.
Harris gave two reasons for the seemingly “strong outside interest" in the TYR.
“One is that this is a very important club because o? its size and the other is due to reaction to the policy of ‘neutrality’ we’ve been foV.owing recently,” he explained.
No Sides The club has taken a number of controversial stands recently without taking sides within the Republican Party itself because we feel that this is the best way to achieve progress on campus without any outside group pressure,” he added.
If a majority of our members attend and vote we can continue doing this.”
Harris said that in order to be eligible to vote a member’s name must appear on the membership role or he must show his TYR membership card. One year of TYR membership is required of all office seekers, who will be nominated from the floor.
“We had a most successful year,” Harris claimed. "We had Joseph Shell (an aspirant for the 1962 Republican gubernatorial nomination) at our opening meeting, and have also had former governor Goodwin Knight; Bruce Allen, who is running for Attorney General;, and Mayor George Christopher of San Francisco.”
He said the club hopes to have Richard Nixon (the other Republican gubernatorial candidate) and Shell here before the summer and Senator Barry Goldw’ater “sometime in the future.”
Professor Will Speak
Dr. Jessie Marmorston, clinical professor in the School of Medicine, will speak at a luncheon meeting of Town and Gown today at 12:15.
Dr. Marmorston. one of the few women to be elected a fellow of the American College of Physicians, will speak on “Hormones and How They Affect the Individual” in the Foyer of Town and Gown.
The clinical professor, whose field is heart and cancer research, has studied for years the possible relationship between hormones and heart attacks.
She has found scientific evidence to indicate that certain female hormones may prolong the lives of patients who have had one or more heart attacks.
