Debaters to Vie For TV Crown
Varsity debaters Ken Moes and John Deacon will pit their “convinceable” strength against North Texas State College Saturday in the final round of NBC-TV's ‘‘Championship Debate.”
Moes and Deacon will defeni the negative side of the topic, "Resolved: that labor organizations should be under jurisdiction of anti-trust legislation.”
North Texas State earned the right to meet USC by defeating Kansas State Teachers College 3-0 last Saturday on the topic, “Resolved: that the U.S. should «dopt a national health insurance program for all citizens.' Texas had the affirmative.
The Texas team has had the affirmative in all of its matches and, in addition to beating the Kansas team, holds victories over the University of Florida (3-0) and Baylor University (2-1).
and the University of Oregon (3-0).
USCs debate coach John Fraser predicts the match as “a toss-up.”
“The Texas team is highly sophisticated and polished and doesn’t lack punch,” he said. ‘The decision will be close and the team presenting the most compelling argument and the lietter evidence will gain lhe victory.”
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.
The TV show is moderated by Dr. James H. McBath, associate professor of speech.
In addition to his speech and TV show dulies, Dr. McBath is USC forensics director and president of the American Forensics Association and chairman of the Speech Association of America’s Committee on In-

plative, doubting philosopher in the current production, which will run nightly at 8 through Sunday.
The living dimensions of Shakespeare’s other masterful characters fared with varying degrees of success in the opening performance.
Anne deRubertis brought a birdlike quality to the character of Ophelia that charmingly and persuasively captured the lilt and beauty of Elizabethan style, and John Rose, a newcomer to the Stop Gap stage, displayed an agile grip on the character of the fumbling Po-lonius.
Bruce Johnson did his best as Claudius and Carol Ann Daniels put professional polish on the role of Gertrude.
Racy Show Director John Blankenchip seemed to be trying to take advantage of every foot of the imaginative set by David An derle that adapted the limited theater stage into a universal set for the many scenes in the play, but the effect too often tended to be artificial bustle rather than normal activity.
As a result, we saw what probably will be one of the most mobile ghosts to rattle through the production in 300 years, and busy soliloquies that put Hamlet in profile or movement that exaggerated rather than destroyed the barrier of the “invisible fourth wall.” Lighting by Martin Stefflre emphasized the bleakness of the dungeon-like set of An derle, creating a vision of austerity over pomp.
The turmoil of Hamlet strug gling to find justification for his inner doubts tends to be understood in the physical activity on the stage, so that action tends to carry the words of the weaker characters, rather than the poetry the action.
The platform scene in the first act is worth missing, and actually the play doesn’t pick up until after the first soliloquy.
Strongest Scenes After that. Rose moves through scenes that show him at his strongest—the displr.y of his madness, his overlaced sarcasm, his active plotting—so so that he is able to lead and focus the actions of his ablest co-stars.
Although the courtier and the soldier in Hamlet are thus done justice, the “noble mind” and the scholar stay only suggestions i n the character's shadows.
There is no doubt that the stairs of Elsinors have echoed to more resounding footsteps than those of the USC performers, but the tread of the cur-r e n t rendition is enough to shake the dust from a drama for | that is too often confined for )many of the textbooks.
In Fine Arts
! Five USC students have received awards for scholarship land achievements in fine arts, Edward S. Peck, fine arts chairman, announced yesterday.
i The five students are Paul Mogensen, John Connolly, Peter Plagens, Paul Berude, and Roger Williams.

CREATIVITY RISE
Beatniks to Fade, Psychologist Says
Concentrated efforts to raise the level of creative thinking among students will not produce a bumper crop of beatniks, a psychology professor said Friday.
“I suppose that among a group of beatniks one would find a higher level of creative potential than in other comparable groups,’’ Dr. J. P. Guil ford, professor of psychology, told the Western Regional Conference on Testing Problems of the Educational Testing Service at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel.
“But I am sure that not all of the highly creative children gravitate in that direction. The creative child who is accepted and understood by his parents, his teachers, and who is tolerated by other children, should not turn to the life of a beatnik,” he explained.

Chen Blasts Red Schools
Education in Communist China is used as an indoctrination and propaganda program. Dr. Theodore H. E. Chen, chairman of the Asiatic studies department, commented recently.
Dr. Chen, speaking at a conference on educational national policy in Washington, D.C., last week, described the Com-

‘‘But their system is of a type far different from what we in the United States call education.” Dr. Chen commented.
He explained that China teaches its people only the skills needed for immediate productive work. This results in a narrow type of individual.
been frustrated in their creative efforts, who develop a rebellious attitude and who seek the company of others of similar psychological status.
“The stereotype of the starving, unconventional, sloppy young creative genius is derived from a dramatic minority of creative people. Studies of young people in general fail to
show correlations between high scores on creativity tests and being sloppy or unconventional,” he said.
Educators need to develop many new tests to identify the more creative students, the psychologist said. Traditional IQ tests give a very limited picture of a child's intellectual possi bilities, he explained.
“The more creative child in the lower grades is recognized by his playmates as the one having more naughty ideas and in grades five and six as the one having the most good ideas,” Dr. Guilford said.
If more of the freedom of the kindergarten and the first grade could be prolonged, he suggested, more imaginative thinking might be encouraged in children. However, at the same time, children must be taught that there are limits to their behavior for the sake of personal safety and the conventions of society, he pointed out.
No child ever exceeds his potential level of development and most children fall short,” he said. “The individual remembers best those things that he discovers for himself. Instead of feeding information to thei/orce in the progress of the child as if he were a computer, j women’s program at USC. we should encourage him to go) The Town and Gown Award in search for it.”	•ti

Master Plan Convocation To Be Held
By BARBARA EPSTEIN Daily Trojan Editor
The president of the Los Angeles County Medical Association has attacked the dean of the School of Medicine for affirming the right of individual faculty in the Medical School to take a stand in the growing controversy over medical aid to the aged.
In a recent article in The Bulletin of the Los Angeles County Medical Association, Dr. Ian MacDonald criticized Dean Clayton G. Loosli for supporting the “right” of faculty members to speak on public issues as private citizens.
Brem's “right to hold any be-'Lcosh wrote. “The code ap-liefs his reason dictates,” but 'plies not only to the full and maintained that the professor part-time faculty but also, in had a “{.^imary, public respon- the School of ^.ledicine, to our
large voluntary faculty.
“Like other rights in a democracy, academic freedom carries serious responsibilites,” he continued. “One of these is the responsibility of each individual to make sure his personal actions and utterances are not taken by others as representing the policy of ’..is profession or institution.”
Dr. MacDonald challenged
School of Medicine, its admin- Dean Loosli s defense of aca*
demic freedom as a ‘‘right’ and the freedom of faculty to speak
sibility which should have induced him to remain unidentified with so contentious an is sue.”
In a recent letter to faculty of the School of Medicine and members of Salemi Collegium, support group for the School cf Medicine, Dean Looslie noted that Dr. Berem’s support of the bill was offered by Dr. Brem as an individual and “did not represent the faculty of the
istration or the university.” The Medical School dean
Dr. MacDonald’s charges pointed out, however, that Dr. grew out of his dissatisfaction Brem did have a right to speak over the recent support given the King-Anderson bill for medical aid through Social Se
curity by Dr. Thomas Hamil- University of Southern Califor-ton Brem, head of the department of medicine.
The LACMA president said the association honored Dr.
ou* on issues which may not advance the “interest of the institution.”
“It is cur belief that tho Loosh statement falls of a necessary emphasis in two re-nia faculty member to speakjspects: the freedoms which we and act as a private citizen all respect are privileges rather without fear of institutional t h a n rights, and in this in-
out on the matter.
“A code of academic freedom insures the right of each
terpreted as spokesmen for the
school should recognize a responsibility of exercising freo speech toward advancing the interest of the institution, regardless of their own personal beliefs on some issues,” Dr. MacDonald claimed.
“And, evident as it may be, it would seem to us that the
university should acknowledge
its primary responsibility to the philosophy of free enterprise, in contrast to encroachment by Federal control oriented toward individual irresponsibility,” Dr. MacDonald added.
The LACMA president said he agreed with the concept of academic freedom “in terms of the responsibility of a departmental head of a school, which has depended for support and growth, in the main, on the many persons in the community who have been able to do so through the productivity of the
censorship or discipline,” Dean;stance those who may be in- lree enterprise system.
The first student convocation celebrating the anniversary of the university’s Master Plan conception will be held at 10 a.m. May 17 in Bovard Auditorium.
President Topping will describe the plan's progress during the past year and future expectations. He also will show a movie concerning the plan.
Bart Leddel, ASSC president, announced yesterday that students wishing to make suggestions or ask questions concerning the Master Plan should submit their suggestions and questions to the ASSC President’s office by next Monday*
“Dr. Topping will incorporate the suggestions and questions into his speech, and, in this way, the students can have a better understanding of the three-stage multi-million dollar plan,” Leddel said.
AH campus facilities will be closed and classes canceled during the convocation.
