Administrator To Give Talk At Luncheon
Glenn S. Dumke, vice chancellor for academic affairs for the California State Colleges, will speak at the faculty luncheon today at noon in the Faculty Center.
The state administrator, who has also been a professor of history and author of several books on Pacific Coast area history, will speak on "The Tall Stalks.”
' “Private universities and col leges in California are being literally shaken by the mushrooming campuses of the state ( colleges,” Dr. Janet Bolton, faculty program chairman, noted.
j Dr. Dumke has served at both private and public insti tutions, and is thus qualified to view the academic commu nity as a whole, she said.
As vice chancellor for academic affairs, Dr. Dumke directs the academic program of California’s 15 state colleges. He was the principal state col-^ lege representative in the survey team that recommended major legislation enacted by the state in 1960.
Professor % To Present Three Talks
Dr. Harold J. Leavitt, of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, will begin two days of lectures at the School of Business Administration today as the first of two visiting professors from the Ford Foundation.
Dr. Leavitt, a professor of industrial administration and psychology, will meet with business faculty at 10 to discuss behavioral science curricula at Carnegie and other business schools.
At 2 he will discuss research fields for dissertations with Business School doctoral candidates.
The professor will meet again with faculty tomorrow at 2 to discuss recent trends in behavioral research important in business school teaching.
All meetings will be held in 104 Bridge.
Dr. Leavitt has been vice president of Nejelski and Co., and a consultant for the European Productive Agency in Paris.
Dr. Paul F. Lazarsfeld, professor of sociology at Columbia University, will come to campus Monday. He is the second Ford Foundation scholar.

than the conditional approval the cabinet handed to the Tro-j« n s for Representative Government (TRG) at last week’s meeting.
The organization now only needs the approval of the administration to operate both as a campus organization and a university political party. USP leaders have made an appointment with President Topping for tomorrow for review of party structure and goals.
The cabinet briefly scrutinized USP’s constitution to see if it met the requirements of ASSC Senate statutes defining campus organizations and parties.
ASSC President Hugh Helm complimented three of the party’s leaders who were present on the completeness of the document. None of the other cabinet members offered any criticism of the constitution.
USP’s constitution was the first party constitution to be considered by the cabinet under a new set of party regulations suggested by the Student Protest Group for Responsible Student Government, a group that was organized by the party’s founders.
Only four of the regular cabinet members were present at the meeting, but a quorum was obtained when newly elected AMS President H a 1 Stokes, one of USP’s organizers, announced he was proxy ing for absent AMS President Gil Garcetti.
Afte r the cabinet meeting, George Rosenberg, temporary vice president of USP, said he was delighted that the cabinet had not imposed any restrictions on the organization.
Rosenberg said the cabinet’s approval was a go-ahead signal for a series of activities planned by the party’s council of representatives at a meeting Sunday evening.
He said the council had planned a membership drive that would begin tomorrow and last through April 13, the last school day befrre Easter vacation begins.

Graduate students at the university are complementing investigation into the operation of nerve cells described recently to the American Chemical Society by a Swedish researcher.
Dr. Paul Saltman, associate professor of biochemistry, reported that students Paul Ennis and Al Waxman have been working with artificial membranes, as has Dr. Torsten Teorell of the University of Uppsala, Sweden.
But where Dr. Teorell, who
spoke before the chemical society yesterday, is using arti ficial membranes to study the operation of nerve cells, the USC researchers are trying to determine why some properties are allowed to enter a cell and others are not, Dr. Saltman said.
Dr. Teorell has used artifi cial membranes first developed fcr removing salt from sea water to imitate those of living. cells in order to study for the first time the way the cell membrane “writes” nerve messages, he told the chemical society.
The artificial membranes have been used to imitate the “property of excitability” that stimulates nerves to transmit messages from one organ to another, the Swedish researcher reported.
USCs study, in the meantime, has taken advantage of artificial membranes to dis-

Health with a $34,693 grant.
Dr. Hamor started looking for a local anesthetic that might be made by splitting a molecule of saccharin, usually used as a suger substitute.
By adding groups of chemicals to tiiis and a form of benzoic acid, he came up with a complex compound which proved to have a calming effect on muscle spasms.

The drug, a form of tranquilizer, has only been tested on mice. Dr. Hamor revealed.
When given to a mouse, the drug prevents convulsions caused by an electric shock and also relaxes the animal’s muscles. The drug's effect lasts several hours.
The pharmacist has made
more than 20 muscle-relaxing compounds during several
sota, has taught pharmaceutical chemistry at USC since 1952.
He is a fellow of the Ameri-| can Association for the Advancement of Science, and recently was appointed to the editorial advisory board of the weekly publication Current Contents .of Chemical, Phar-maco-Medical and Life Sciences.

cover why metals would	not enhance the movement of	amino acids through the	cell membrane.
Dr. Saltman, who with Dr. Philip Charley had earlier dis covered that sugars facilitate the movement of metals through the membrane, said such work is imperative to understanding the cell process.
Working Models
Since we know very little about the subject, working models in which we can see, raider experiment, how a certain process works in a cell are very important, he said.
He added that the gradual movement of science forward in experiments such as these might put the ultimate discovery of the mystery of life within the hands of science “in the not too distant future.’’
“As a greatly exaggerated example, what Dr. Teorell has done is to show that when I push you, an impulse is set up to carry the message from the nerve cell to the brain because of increased pressure on the skin,” Dr. Saltman noted.
Exaggerated Example
“Whereas, in the same exaggerated sense, what our researchers are trying to find out is why my hand doesn’t go through your skin,” he continued.
Dr. Teorell, in his talk, also pointed out the importance of artificial membranes to science, noting that in this way researchers are gaining more insight into the physio-chemical "traffic signals” used by living membranes.

The starting point for painting and sculpture is imagination rather than the mentality of the time, Dr. Edgar Ewing, professor of fine arts, said at yesterday’s philosophy forum.
The artist’s discussion ol “The Eye of the Mind and the Eye of the Hand,” as part of the “Reflections on the Arts” series, dealt with the distinction of an art work as a creation and as an object of appreciation.
“If the reality of subject matter is taken from a work of art, another reality remains,” he noted. “The work is now an object of physical materials rather than an object of the mind.”
Double Existence “A painting, then, has two kinds of existence. One is the physical, brought into being by the artist, and the other is the aesthetic, brought into being by the observer,” he commented.
The art in painting exists prior to the completion of the painting, or it appears unexpectedly without plan, he said This is the mystical aspect that envelops art.
The average m a n is likely to see paintings only in relation to his human experience and is either baffled or angered when he cannot understand them, the art professor claimed.
Art Dehumanized
“The steady dehumanization of art is not related to common human experience but to the experiences peculiar to the paintings he explained. “In other words, one does not live the painting as one does hi} own life.”
Man as an artist first explores the world around him, develops sensibilities peculiar to man, and then explores the nature of the world around him, he said.
“The philosophical idea that only self-knowledge is possible and therefore reality for the artist is subjective has helped to form the directions of contemporary art,” he reported.
Techniques Differ In spite af the differences in techniques, Professor Ewing pointed out, artists fully understand the necessity for mind and hand working together to produce an object
The artist works with what he calls controlled accident,” he explained. ‘The hand draws intuitively but is brought into check by the mind.”
The problem for the artist is that the handcraft is a static, unchanging form and is constantly confronted by a changing mind, he said.

High Schools To Use Text By Professor
“The World of Communism,” a new book by Dr. Roger Swearingen, director of the Research Institute on Communist Strategy and Propaganda, was recently accepted as a text for 12th grade students in the Pasadena Unified School Dis trict.
Dr. Robert E. Jenkins, superintendent of schools for Pasa dena, said the book, a pioneer in its field, will be used as ba sic curriculum material. Pasa dena schools are the first to use the book for classroom work.
Breakthrough ‘The book is a breakthrough in the understanding of Communistic methods and ideology,” he said. “All students leaving Pasadena's high schools will have an increased * appreciation and understanding of the dangers of Communism as they prepare to assume new roles and new responsibilities as young American citizens.” Dr. Jenkins predicted that the book, published by Houghton, Mifflin Company of Boston, may come into wide use throughout the country because of the broad interest in its content.

Main Problem
“The main problem was that many people who had made appointments to give blood did not show up,” Walsh explained “Today’s showing was a pretty feeble one,” he claimed. “We have 11,000 students and 1,700 faculty members here who all benefit from the Blood Bank, and it’s too bad they all can’t see fit to give.” Walsh noted, however, that not all signs in this year’s drive indicated failure.
“Last year the Blood Drive signed up only 125 people for pledges, while this year the signup total was 515,” he said. Donation Plea Walsh asked students and university personnel who did not sign up last week to “go and give anyway.”
In the trophy competition, Theta Chi pulled ahead with 15 points in the fraternity contest, while Alpha Phi took the lead among sororities with 11*4 points.
Harris Plaza leads the dorms with 8% points, and Stonier Hall is second with 3^ points.
Competing groups are being given V/2 points for donors who sign up and give, 1 point for donors who give but didn’t sign up and one-half point for persons who sign up but are rejected for medical reasons. Close Behind The Theta Chis are being followed in the fraternity race by Sigma Alpha Epsilon with 5 points and Sigma Alpha Mu and Theta Xi with 4% points each.

Dean Cromwell, who was hospitalized after he suffered a heart attack last Thursday, is feeling “much better,” his physicians reported yesterday.
The 82-year-old Cromwell will remain in the California Lutheran Hospital under close observation from two to five more weeks.
Cromwell, who retired from coaching in 1948 after directing the United States Olympic team, entered the hospital last week when he complained of a “chest cold.”
Acute Coronary
He was diagnosed as having an acute coronary and was put under oxygen.
Doctors yesterday described his condition as being satisfactory and said he was “coming along very well.”
The athletic department said Cromwell, who began coaching football and track at the university in 1909, was upset because he would now be unable to attend the big track meets forthcoming on the USC schedule.
Advisory Capacity Cromwell, who was elected to the Helms Athletic Foundation’s Hall of Fame in 1948, has been serving in an advisory capacity in various track coaching positions around the world since his retirement.
He coached the Trojans to 12 National Collegiate Athletic Association championships, including nine in a row from 1935 to 1943. His teams lost only three dual meets to college foes after 1930.
33 Titles Individually, Troy track stars won 33 NCAA titles under his leadership.
Cromwell, who was a football and track athlete at Occidental College from 1895 to 1898, produced an individual champion for every Olympic from 1912 to 1948.
A spokesman for the athletic department said Cromwell’s many friends may send their cards and gifts to the California Lutheran Hospital, 1414 S. Hope St.

Journalists To Convene
Sigma Delta Chi's campus journalists will meet at noon today in 428 SU to draw straws for work assignments for this Saturday’s Journalism Day.
Ilal Drake, chapter president, said plans will also be made for an informal meeting with a local sports columnist in the near future.
Members who miss today’s meeting will draw early morning jobs on Saturday, Drake threatened.
yesterday that his principal interest lies in conveying feelings through color.
“Color and sound differ only in wave length,” he pointed out. “Music can affect emo tions and yet it doesn't describe anything.
“I try to do the same thing by using colors that don’t depend on actualities.”
Such musical terms and col-loquilisms as the “blues” and “green with jealousy” show that even color phrases can play upon the feelings Crown, who has won purchase prizes at the Los Angeles City Art Festival and the California State Fair, noted,
I which go together and I feel that this can only be properly done through sensitivity, not rational thought.
“I draw many shapes instinctively as they catch my attention in black and white,” he explained. ‘‘‘On the borders of the work I put colors.
“I am more interested in defining lines and colors than in ‘photographing’ reality,’’ the artist added, indicating a large painting of fruit and a sunflower hanging in the fine arts office.
“In this painting, for instance, I was trying to get the texture and even the taste of the fruit through the use of colors.”
The painter, who can turn out three paintings in as many days, noted lhat he enjoys painting nature.
“People miss a great deal in paintings because they don’t understand them,” he added.
“Many close their eyes in resentment to the painting which
I try to make harmonies isn't a ‘photographic’ replica. ’
