PAGE THREE Political Shadow Draws Editor’s Fire Universrby o•f Southern Galrfornia DAILY TR OJAN VOL Llll LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1962 PAGE FOUR Trojan Tracksters to Risk Five Win Streaks NO. 84 Mort Sahl to Entertain Trojans HOT WORDS TRG Will Battle For Recognition Group to Grill Speaker Sees Five Politicos Romantic Age As Religious Independent Office-Seeker Defends Tag ASSC presidential candidate Gil Garcetti yesterday defended his right to refer to himself as ‘'Independent” on tlie spring ballot by claiming his fraternal affiliation has nothing to do with his political ac-tivites. Garcetti was attacked earlier this week by TRG President Mike Guhin, who said Garcetti couldn’t have “Independent’ placed ater his name on the official ballots because he belongs to Chi Phi fraternity. “The fact that I am a fra ternity member bears no relationship to my political status on campus, and, conversely, my political status on campus is not in any way connected with my fraternal affiliation,” Garcetti explained in a protest filed with the Elections Committee. Not Affiliated He said he had never been and never intended to be affiliated with any political organization or political faction on campus. “My political affiliation on campus is with the students of USC,” Garcetti said. “I am backed neither by organized factions nor political power cliques. I am in a true sense an •‘independent.” Garcetti claimed he was affiliated only with students desiring “Independent” government. He defined such students as those who “do not owe primary loyalty or allegiance to any political organization.” Inherent Right “Since the concept of being a political independent is by its very nature inherent, there is no need to have official sanction as an Independent by any authority,” Garcetti claimed. He said that TRG had no inherent recognition and must have official recognition by university authorities to enjoy the privilege of having candidates place its name on the ballot. He maintained that only an independent and the Representation Party, the only fully rec-organized party on campus, had the right to appear on the ballot. By DAN SMITH Senate Reporter The Trojans for Representative Government Party (TRG) will make Its bid for official recognition tonight at 6:30 in the Senate Chambers. 301 SU, at what may prove to be the most heated session of the ASSC Senate this year. ^ ^ ^ At the same time that TRG will be presenting its constitu-f tion for approval, the Student Protest Group for Responsible Government, organized by AMS presidential candidate Hal I Stokes, will attempt to present a resolution asking the Senate not to legalize TRG unless is provides equal representation to all students. TRG party chairman Dwight Chapin said that the party has received encouragement from the administration in its drive to seek recognition and to pre-s e n t its constitution for approval. “We realize this action must be taken to prove our intentions to the administration and the student body,” Chapin said Skip Hartquist, business senator, will present the constitution for TRG. Stokes has called a meeting of the protest group for this afternoon, at which the members will discuss the proposed resolution. Stokes’ group will ask the Senate to establish basic ground rues for the ograniza-tion of all political parties. Then Senate will also consider a bill from Dennis Hayes, a pharmacy senator and write-in candidate for ASSC president. The bill would strengthen the organization of the major fields of study and force the ASSC president to act on a statute passed last year establishing a field-of-study president’s council, Hayes said. A possible constitutional amendment will also be examined at the meeting. The amendment would separate the functions of senate president from ASSC presidential duties.

Photo fee is $5. Spanish Film To Be Shown For Festival An award-winning Spanish film, “Marcelino, Pan y Vino,” will be shown tonight at 8 in 133 FH as part of the Lope de Vega Quadricentennial cele bra tion. The film, produced in 1958, won the grand prize in the Cannes, Berlin and Spanish film festivals. National Catholic Magazine awarded it best-film-of-the-year prize. Admission to the film, which has English sub-titles, is 50 cents. Spanish producers turned down the script because they believed that it would be flop, so a group of actors put up the money and produced it on their own. Suffering Orphan The story deals with a young orphan, Marcelino, who is found suffering from hunger by two monks. He is taken to a monastery and given bread (pan) and wine. Marcelino brings bread and wine to an emaciated figure of Christ on the Cross which he finds in the monastery. At Marcelino’s death, the shadow of Christ bends over the boy’s body to accept the symbolic bread and wine. The film is one of the events of the month-long observance of the 400th anniversary of the birth of Spain’s greatest dramatist. Departments Celebrate Theatrical, literary, musical and art departments of the university are joining in the celebration. Other events in the quadricentennial will include a movie about Spanish history, “The Pride and the Passion,” an art exhibit of “Spanish Draftsmanship in the 17th Century,” a production of de Vega’s “The Gentleman From Olmedo” and a concert of Spanish organ music. By SUE BERNARL The Romantic period of literature was a very religious iperiod, attempting to show man his place in the universe, dents heard yesterday at the Philosophy Forum. Dr. Harold E. Briggs, professor of English, opened the semi-annual series with a discussion of ‘‘The Romantic View of Man’s Place in Nature.” “There are two views,” Dr. Briggs explained. “The first is that man is better when he leaves th e perfumed drawing rooms of London and lives and wrorks as close to nature as he can.” The second view, he explained, is t’.at an attempt to relieve man’s utter loneliness will tell him that he can find his place in the universe if he will accept the gifts of nature. Society Rules “If you are going to be haughty and accept the rules of high society, condemning everybody who doesn’t follow these rules, you’re bound sooner or later to find yourself a pretty lonely person,” D r. Briggs said. Citing as examples the English poets William Wordsworth and George Gordon, Lord Byron, he noted that their con ceptions of nature are differ ent, though they are both romantics. Wordsworth’s chief theory concerns epistimology—how we know that we know,” the English professor explained. “In ’Expostulation and Re ply” Wordsworth rejects books to gain knowledge, and i n ‘The Tables Turned’ he stresses the importance of nature—we see far more deeply into the nature of things and grasp far more of the real truth when wre don’t force our intelligence to see only what we have been taught to see. Grasp Totality To grasp the totality of be ing we must open our beings to respond to what is there, he explained. The nature in all of Wordsworth is a benevolent force, Dr. Briggs said. Wordsworth knew nature in many different moods and did not find her inhuman and diabolical at all,”’ he explained. But there is a different interpretation of nature from Lord Byron, he said. Describing a passage from Byron’s “Don J u a n,” D r. Briggs said that Byron seems to be saying that “nature buffets and tortures and finally strips all humanity from man.” “So much, he seems to be saying, for Wordsworth’s idea of a benevolent nature,” he noted. But it w'ould be a mistake, he explained, to jump to the conclusion that all of Byron is opposed to Wordsworth. NEXT PRESIDENT? — Mort Sahl, champion president-baiter and iconoclast extraordinary will speak in Bovard tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. Sahl is well known for his sharp remarks, often pointed at the Kennedy family. Defense Scholars Hear Expert Talk Graduate students attending USC under the National Defense Education Act learned some of the administrative problems of the program when Dr. Harold Howe, chief of the Graduate Fellowship Section of the Office of Education, visited with them yesterday. One of the key problems Dr. Howe spoke of was the task of justifying the relationship of defense and certain subjects, such as the arts, ancient studies and religion. ‘To some people, the word ‘defense’ means nothing more than nuclear physics, but it must include other fields,” Dr. Howe commented. “Races may be in the field of the arts as well as science.” Pressure caused some humanities subjects to be placed on a lower priority list for the granting of fellowships this year, he reported to the USC fellows who are all majoring in the humanities or social sciences. The 48 NDEA fellows were able to question the representative of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare about the problems they have confronted under the program. Fellowships for the program are awarded under Title IV of the National Defense Education Act of 1958. The pri mary purpose of the fellowships is to provide financial support for graduate students who are working towrard a PhD degree and who intend to teach in colleges and universities. USC was recently awarded 18 fellowships for next year in comparative literature, English, German, Spanish, history, philosophy and public administration. The comparative literature graduate program will be supported for the first time through the NDEA funds. Each NDEA fellowship is for three years and fellows are awarded $2,000 the first year, $2,200 the second year and $2,400 the third year, plus an additional allowance of $400 per year for each dependent. USC waives tuition fees for the fellows and receives the cost of the student’s education from the Office of Education. Famed Comic Will Highlight Campus Show By KAREN GUSTAFSON Daily Trojan Feature Editor Mort Sahl. one of America’s most popular comedians, will bring his special brand of satire to the campus tomorrow afternoon with a 45-minute show in Bovard Auditorium beginning at 3:30. The university-sponsored event will be free of charge for all students. Dean Opens Cambridge Bids Top Doctor To Present Discussions The annual Morris Henry Nathanson Memorial Lectures will begin today at noon on the School of Medicine campus featuring Dr. Carl W Gottschalk, an authority on kidney processes. Dr. Gottschalk, who is the ninth outstanding scientist in the area of cardio-vascular pharmacology and physiology to take part in the lecture program, will speak on “The Counter-concurrent Hypothesis for Urine Concentration’’ in room 1645, Los Angeles County General Hospital, 1200 N. State St. He will speak on “Hydrostatic Pressures and Flow of the Kidney” tomorrow night at 8 in the same room. Annual Lecture The annual lectureship is supported by the Morris Hen- died in 1952.

Satire Jabs Since then he has zoomed to fame with his social satire which jabs at the contemporary social, political and economic scene to bring both "ouches” and cheers from his audiences. He is credited for bringing fame to San Francisco's hungry i, where he made his debut in 1953 drawing a mere $75 a week. Now, just nine years later, he is one of America’s highest paid comedians. His name has appeared on the billboards of small clubs like the Village Vanguard and the Blue Angel in New York and the “big rooms” like the Flamingo in Las Vegas, the Crescendo in Los Angeles, Ba sin Street East in New York and the Chez Paree in Chicago. Comic Albums The 35-year-old comic puts sparks into parties via his albums which have become favorite entertainment. Among his best-seUers are “Mort Sahl, A Way of Life,” “Mort Sahl at the hungry i” and ‘‘The Future Lies Ahead.” Sahl is no stranger to motion pictures, either. He is well-known for his role in “All the Young Men,” a film set in Korea during the conflict that Sahl referes to as World War 2.4. The iconoclast’s quips and cracks at the modem American scene are well-documented, for he goes through all local newspapers each day and some 20 national magazines each week. Jazz Devotee Besides reading, Sahl has three hobbies — driving sports cars, listening to jazz (preferably modern) and talking. He succinctly sums up his show business philosophy with, “I reject the theory that a satirist like myself must resort to so-called ‘commercial’ material to win acceptance. Mine is a crusade to gain respect for American audiences as weU as for myself.” Yell King Rich Miailovich will introduce Sahl during the program tomorrow. No classes will be cancelled for the event. Speaker Hits Indian Break With Pacifism By KEN HORN Indian Prime Minister Nehru failed to carry out the late Mahatma Gandhi’s proposal of non-violence in India’s recent invasion of Portuguese Goa, a recently returned visitor to India said yesterday. Speaking before an open meeting of the Wesley Foundation, Mrs. Mildred Fahrni said that if Gandhi were still alive he would have handled the incident in an entirely different manner. Reprehensible Behavior “There is no doubt that the Portuguese behavior in Goa was reprehensible, but the mar-tian attitude that India took in dealing with them was equally reprehensible,” she said. Mrs. Fahrni noted that Vi-nobe Bhave, Gandhi’s second in command and heir apparent to the leadership of India before Nehru took over, would have handled the situation in a more peaceful way. “Bhave is regarded now as one of the most influential leaders in the non-political life of India,” she said. “He is instrumental in the Bhoodan Movement, aland reform movement that proposes to distribute all the land in India to small farmers, doing away with the large land holdings belonging to private concerns.” Peoples’ WU1 Mrs. Fahrni said the recent controversial re-election of foreign minister Krishna Me non by his Bombay constituents was “the will of the people.’* She believes Menon is a very able and brilliant statesman who has only the interest of the people of India at heart. The people or India are facing poverty and economic problems, she said, noting that the average annual wage of an Indian is just a little over $10 a year and that some 47 million members of the working force only work a combined amount of three hours a day. “Many economists say it will take 35 years before the income of India, under continuing conditions, will change drastically,” she said. Mrs. Fahrni added that the one underlying fact that might change this figure is the educational program that is now being put into force throughout India. KINGS COLLEGE - The classic English Gothic architecture of the 16th century is epitomized in Kings College Chapel shown here. The chapel is one of the many sights worth seeing on the campus of Cambridge University. USC is again offering a summer's work at Cambridge for- interested junior and seniors. they are over the 18-year-old age minimum. There Is no requirement for field of study. Applicants will be screened and interviewed by a special committee headed by Dr. Warren. Selections should be announced sometime in the middle of April. Inclusive charge for tuition, room and board and the excursions will be 75 British pounds, or $210.

In 1960, he delivered the fifth Bowditch Lecture before the American Physiological Society in San Francisco. Critic to Discuss Life, Art in Novel Literary critic Elizabeth Drew will present her views on life and art in the modem novel at 2:30 today in 133 FH. Miss Drew, professor emeritus of Smith College, has published seven books on various phases of modem literature. Her “Poetry: A Modem Guide to It’s Understanding and Enjoyment’’ is a popular introductory text, and has had comprehensible and economical way.” He feels she effectively combines clarity and common sense in her writings and critiques and removes excess verbage and technical points whenever they negate an enjoyment of the work.

Miss Drew possess several qualities which have gained her recognition as a wide sale in paperback edi- one of the most qualified and ' highly rated "literary judges” of our time, Durbin explains.
