The isometric contraction method is exactly the same as the “dynamic tension” method popularized in comic book ads by Charles Atlas, he said.

However, the “no-movement” program does have the advantage of taking less time, he noted.
It also does not increase muscle bulk, which makes it advantageous for women but might make it unattractive to “muscle-builders,” the supervisor of the LaPorte Research Center in the physical education department said.
Physicist Forecasts Female Work Call
An increasing demand for physicists will open more doors to women in that field, Harriet Forster, associate professor of physics, said recently.
Speaking for the American Institute of Physics campaign to encourage talented women to prepare for careers in physics, Dr. Forster said new developments in science will necessitate the use of women to

America has a great lack of women physicists, she said. “In other countries women go into physics more frequently than in the United States.”

Used Items To Be Sold
The YWCA will broaden its service scope today and tomorrow by holding a “used articles” sale, Mrs. Ruth Grant, executive director, announced yesterday.
The market, open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., will offer jewelry, sweaters, coats, books and eye glasses at “bargain prices.”
“We are selling beginner’s slide rules for $1, eye glasses and gloves for 25 cents and all books at half price,” Mrs. Grant said.
She added that notebooks full of clean paper, binders, wrriting boards and pens and ppncils will be sold at reduced prices.
All the articles, which in elude a pair of contact lenses, were given to the YWCA from the unclaimed article section in the Lost and Found Office. Proceeds from the sale will go to the YWCA fund.
Marxism has become a method of industrialism and that Karl Marx’s original conception of using it as a means of liberation in the moral sense has been
buried, at least for the present.
Marx defined his theory as a philosophy of human liberation, with a fundamentally religious basis, Dr. Wohl explained.
“Marx was not concerned with the problems of democracy or totalitarianism,” he said. "Instead, he assumed the world was moving toward greater personpl liberty, which would naturally surpass democracy and totalitarianism.” Marx to Lenin The professor traced the historical interpretation of Marxism through Lenin, who saw that many of Marx’s predictions were not coming true.
Lenin, Dr. Wohl claimed, said the working class would never develop revolutionary consciousness. He passed his ideas to Stalin who carried on the dictatorship of the proletariat.
“Khrushchev offers the most recent interpretation of Leninism,” Dr. Wohl said. “If present social law recharges the party and country ideologically.”
The lecturer also described Marxism in early and present day interpretations as Communism, State, Party, analysis, theory and practice.
“Communism received a social-economic interpretation in the Marxian revolution,” he said. “Actually it was a moral revolution.”
In today's Soviet Union. Communism means power plus
“Marx assumed it would be transcended.”
The instructor pointed out that in 1917 the state was the major weapon in the struggle for socialism.
Withering Way Today, the Soviets have returned to the idea of the “withering way of the state,” but they have preserved a fondness for the state as a main instrument of "socialist transition in society.”
The party, which was not a major factor in Marx’s planning, has become a guidepost for the working class, a strong element in Soviet society, Dr. Wohl added.
“In critical examination, Marxism was a weapon used to criticize and destroy the status quo,” he reported. “Now it is a basis for dialectical materialism—Soviet Marxism has been ‘dehistorized.’ It is an instrument for the defense of status quo instead of its destruction.”
Marxism, to its creator, was a purely logical freedom, the professor added. It was a tool of “liberation in the dialectical analysis.” Marx’s ideal was to see his philosophy being replac ed by revolutionary politics.
“Today this conception of philosophy has declined,” Dr. Wohl said. “But methods of critical thinking toward Marxism will not work.” It is always hard to look at Marxism objectively when we hear the Soviets announce there are no more social classes in Russia and that the U. S. working class is impoverished.”

Honoraries Sound Call For Members
Membership applications for Knights and Squires will be due in one week in the Dean of Students Office, 233 SU, Knight President Mike Guhin said yesterday. Applications will be available until tomorrow in the dean's office.
Guhin said that applicants for Squires membership must have completed at least 28 units by fall of 1961, while Knight hopefuls must have had at least 60 units finished.
All applicants must take a test on material taken from SCampus and on general university knowledge on April 13, he said. A review for the test will be given on Tuesday at 3 p.m. in 133 FH.
All candidates who pass the test will go before an interview board during the week after Easter vacation and will then become eligible for final nominations in the following week The Annual Knight Banquet will be May 6 at the Fog Cutter following the initiation.
Lecturer Discusses Greek, Jesus Link
Results of changes from the influence of Greek culture in Palestine during several centuries before Christ produced the background from which the teachings of Jesus emerged, a Columbia University assistant professor of ancient history concluded yesterday.
In a speech in Founders Hall last night, Dr. Morton Smith, lecturer for the Committee on History of Religions of the American Council of Learned Societies, said that Hellenistic culture in Palestine had a great influence on Judaism and Christianity.

India's Rise To Be Told
Dr. B. D. Nag Chaudhuri, director of the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics in Calcutta, In dia, will explore his country’s progress in science and technology tonight at 7:30 in 226 FH.
Dr. Chaudhuri, who has been on campus this week as part of a tour for the American In stitute of Physics, said earlier this week that India has made much progress in the last decade.
However, he noted that his field, nuclear physics, will not be vital to Indian science until far in the future, since the real problems of India exist in the more complex and less exciting areas of education and social advance.
Dr. Chaudhuri has been a member of his government’s Board of Research in Atomic Energy and Physical Research Committees.

Co-chairmen Bill Heeres and Vivian von Hagen warned that absence of a group’s director or a representative may be grounds for Songrest disqualification.
Prelim schedules, rules and general procedures will be clarified at the session.
The 35 groups have been competing in 27 musical routines for an undetermined number of show openings since early March.
All potential Songfest entries will be judged on singing apearance, arrangement and audience appeal.

“Physics is a fascinating, challenging and rewarding work,” Dr. Forster said. She said there are many bright women who would enjoy studying such a dynamic science.
There need he no conflict between a career in physics and one in homemaking, the female physicist said.
“Even if a woman scientist withdraws from active work w-hile her children are young, i-he will keep reading and learning,” she noted.
“When a woman’s children are older, she can return t-her profession or slv can. as some women have done, work part time while home demands are most heavy,” Dr. Forster said. .
Dr. ForUer is now working in nuclear physics and has done much research in cosmic radiation. She has studied in Vienna, and received her PhD from the University of California at Berkeley. She has been ? member of the USC faculty since 1948.
Unique Teacher Internship Plan Offers Chance for Assistantships
By MEL MANDEL
A new concept in the USC teacher internship program scheduled to begin this summer will allow students with any liberal arts degree to take on a teaching assistant-ship, get reimbursed for their work, choose their own school district and earn a teaching credential at the same time.
Students enrolled in the program who do a satisfactory job during their term of internship will be assured regular full-time employment at full pay in the school district in which tliey work, I)r. Donald Wilson, associate professor of education, reported.
Graduate students selected for the program will be able to pursue their training program on either the elementary or secondary level, earning their general credentials at the same time. In addition,

"Several school districts will have openings for quali-
“Those who wish to enroll as a teaching assistant may begin either this summer cm* in the fall,” Dr. Wilson said. “If they begin in the fall they will complete the program after the following summer.”
In the first semester, students will work half time in the school district and take courses at the university during the rest of the day.
They will work full-time in the school during the second semester, taking only one course at USC. During the summer period students will study full-time at the university.
fied applicants in the program.” Dr. Wilson said. ‘The Beverly Hills school district, one of the highest-paying districts in this area, has already announced its willingness to participate.”
Teaching assistants will work as a team with regular district instructors in the classroom. They will be paid a salary of $1,500 for their If* months of work.
“Students in the program are not required to have taken any courses in education or to have any previous teaching experience,” the program director emphasized.

in the summer. Regular tuition rates will be in force, Dr. Wilson said, but loans will be available through the university.
The eight different types of positions available in the Beverly Hills district are for assisting a teaching team in English and social studies, assisting in large and small group instruction in elementary and secondary physical education and in science instruction in grades four through six.

Assistant City Editor
Post-election revisions to the Election Code were approved by the ASSC Senate last night after a spirited debate between “idealistic” and “realistic” factions of the student legislature.
Social Studies Senator Mark Frazin. the originator of the bill, led the victorious “realistic’’ faction with an argument that the Election Code must be revised to provide realistic framework for regulating political parties and candidate expenditures.
Senate Secretary Carole Whitson, chief opponent of the bill, led the fight later labelled “too idealistic,” that claimed new budget increases would be a signal for greater budget violations in future elections.
The Senate also passed a bill recommending a system for students to purchase meals in the Commons a semester at a time; a measure providing for publication of each year’s legislation; and an amended version of the bill reorganizing the committee system passed last month.
Increased Budgets
The Election Code revisions took up most of the time of the hour-long session.
Increased budgets permitted to candidates in the new code drew sharpest comment from the critical senators.
Candidates for Executive Cabinet offices would be allowed to spend $200 rather than the present $75 in the new code, while yell king candidate budgets would be increased from $75 to $125. All other candidates would be per mitted to spend $50 rather than $30.
Miss Whitson attacked the budget increases because she felt candidates should be ex pected to discuss issues rather than be encouraged to spend large sums of money on tricks, posters, rallies and gimmicks “I don’t think gimmicks have any place in politics,” she said I think there should be lim its on what a candidate can spend, and that these limits should be strictly enforced.”
Serious Campaigning She maintained that voters would be able to better see the qualifications of candidates if campaigning were more serious.
Senate President Bob Kendall turned the chair over to Business Senator Carole Nelson to argue for the changes.
“Senators, your idealism is commendable, but we must be realistic,” Kendall said.
He claimed the present campaign budgets were “preposterous” when the average campaign costs for ASSC presidential candidates is more than $450.
He said that one of this year’s losing candidates had provided the Election Committee an accurate budget showing he had spent more than $500 in bis campaign.
For further proof, Kendall advised the senators to question ASSC President Hugh Helm about his campaign expenditures.
The senators asked only a few questions about the sec tion of the bill that regulates political parties.
Meal Tickets
They were concerned with future interpretation of the bill, which places political organizations on a budget basis, permitting them to spend $100 in fall elections and $300 in spring elections.
Amounts spent in behalf of candidates by parties must be included in the candidates budgets, under the new bill.
The statute also demands that parties declare all planned campaign activities to the Election Committee before campaigning starts.
The meal ticket measure, introduced by Public Administration Senator Ron Dowd, recommends that the university devise a system that would enable students eating on campus every day to purchase the tickets, redeemable

Coeds to Try For Victory Over Varsity
The varsity baseball team, victor over some of the best college and professional squads in the country this season, will face a new kind of opponent today — an all-female club.
The Yankees of College Baseball will face the Chimes, women’s service organization, in their annual encounter today at 2 on Bovard Field.
The Trojans players will have to hold a special practice session this afternoon to warm up for the game, Coach Rod Dedeaux said.
“This extra practice is necessary because scouting reports were unavailable,’* he admitted.
Coed Warmup
The women’s service organization will counter with its own warmup session at 1:30.
The Chimes baseball team, coached by President Carole Nelsen, will trade pitchers and catchers with the Trojan nine. The game will last three innings, and will be played with a softball. All men players will bat left-handed.
The starting lineup for the Chimes will include Bunny Currie, catcher; Miss Nelsen, pitcher; Terry Lipe, first; Pat Fry, second; Nancy Johnson, third; Karen Hubenthal, shortstop; Susan Hut ter, left; Diane Mori-shita, center; and Sara Morrow, right.
Chimes Sponsored
The game is being sponsored by Chimes to stimulate interest and attendance in varsity baseball, Miss Nelsen said. Members of the club will wear the Trojan squad’s baseball shirts over their dresses today to advertise the sporting event.
Chimes are planning a box lunch outing with the varsity team and will hold a trophy dinner in May to honor the mcst outstanding baseball player selected by the group.
Senior Wins Study Grant In History
A USC senior has been awarded one of six fellowships awarded by the Heritage Foundation to promising students of American history.
History major Carl Ryding-sword will participate in a eight-week individual program of study and museum training in Deerfield, Mass, site of many historical relics.
Rydingsword is the first Tro. jan ever to participate in the program, which will begin on July 9.
He will work with the extensive historical collections at Deerfield, serving regularly with trained guides and learning to interpret the collection to the general public.
He will be required to write a seminar paper based on his studies of materials at Deerfield.
The program will also allow him to take expense-paid trips to see w e 11-known historical collections at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Sturbridge Village and the Henry Francis DuPont Wintrpthur Museum.
Rydingsw'ord plans to return to USC next fall to complete work for his general secondary teaching credential. He was awarded the fellowship hy the Foundation on the basis of academic qualification, interest, in history and qualifications for appreciating t h e opportunities the program will give him.
