RARE TALK
Sinclair to View Troubled World
Upton Sinclair, former politician and titan among the muckrakers and protest writers, will speak today at 11 in Hancock Auditorium.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author, who rarely appears in public, will discuss “The Individual in a Troubled World” at the lecture, sponsored by the School of Library Science.
t Sinclair’s lecture has been made possible by Paul Baker, peneral manager of the Pacific Library Bindery, Dr. Martha Boaz, Library Science dean, announced.
f Controversial Figure
A controversial political figure in California in the 1930s, Sinclair has very simple tastes and no social life outside a very small group of friends. j. Friends have described him us a soft-voiced ascetic, with a ..warm smile, charming candor and a strangely prim and dated pre-war air of good fellowship and enthusiasm.
Study Croup Wants Bids
Applications for the University of Cambridge study group this summer must be returned to 200 Adm. by Monday, Dr.
Neil D. Warren, LAS dean, announced yesterday.
Sophomores, juniors and seniors who are interested in attending the month - long summer course in England with the second group from USC to study at the ancient university should contact Dean Warren’s office for more information.
The special Cambridge course, which will be held from July 11 to Aug. 8, will consist War I. of classes on modem Britain. Students attending the course will participate in one seminar on English literature, British instituions or Britain in the world today.
The School of Library Science has been trying to get Sinclair to speak on campus for several years, Dean Boai commented.
Now semi-retired, 84-year-old Sinclair was once one of the most controversial politicians and writers in the United States.
‘The Jungle*
He became famous in 1906 when “The Jungle,” an exposure of the Chicago stockyards, was a best seller. Before publishing the book that made him momentarily rich, Sinclair had written hack stories for puip magazines and jokes for comic periodicals while working his way through the College of the City of New York and Columbia University.
After “The Jungle,” Sinclair kept up a steady publication of protest novels, “The Metropolis,” “The Money Changers,” “Samuel the Seeker” and many others.
Widely Read
Abroad, Sinclair is one of most widely read of American authors. There are 772 translations of his books in 47 languages and 37 countries. The card catalouge file in the Los Angeles Library records almost two inches of books by the author.
His 61st novel, “World’s End,” was a Literary Guild selection in 1940 and was published by coincidence on the day that France succumbed to Hitler.
In addition to his literary crusades, Sinclair was an active political crusader in New Jersey and California. He was an active member of the Socialist Party until he resigned because of its stand on World
Correction
Due to a typographical error, t h e story on tuition raises in yesterday’s Daily Trojan inadvertently reported the new tuition f„r the schools of Dentistry, Dental Hygiene, Law, Pharmacy and Religion as $500 a semester.
The correct tuition for these schools will be $600 a semester. Law School units will be $52 each for day classes.
The fee for orthodontists will remain at $750 a semester.
Regular undergraduate rates under the new tuition program, to go into effect in the fall, will be $36 a unit or S600 a semester.
Sinclair later rejoined the party, but ran on the Democratic ticket for governor of California and was defeated in one of the bitterest campaigns in California history.
Piano Recital To Be Held For Benefit
A scholarship benefit recital will be presented by pianist Lillian Steuber, professor of piano, Sunday at 8:30 p.m. in Bovard Auditorium.
The program, part of the faculty concert series, will include Three Sonatas by Scar latti, Toccata in C Minor toy Bach, Sonata in F Minor and Opus 57 by Beethoven, Piano Concerto and Opus 74 by Ach-ron, and Seven Etudes by Chopin.
Miss Steuber, who has been on the music faculty since 1945, has appeared with orchestras throughout the Southland and in Honolulu. She has given many concerts in Mexico, and in 1956 gave recitals and broadcasts in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Peru.
She received the award given by the Bohemians of Los Angeles for highest artistic achievement in 1957 and was chosen by the Los Angeles Times as Woman of the Year in music in 1956.
Noted Writer Will Present Own Poetry
Paul Engle, director of the largest and oldest creative writing program in the United States, will read from his poems today at 3:30 in Hancock Auditorium.
The widely-traveled lecturer, head of the State University of Iowa program which aids young writers, is speaking in the second Bing Fund Lecture sponsored by the English department this semester.
Many outstanding present day writers have attended the Iowa program, including Willard Marsh, assistant professor of English at USC.
Program ‘Best*
Marsh, who studied under Engle in 1958 and 1959, described the Iowa program as the “biggest and best in the United States.”
“The program is very selec-ive,” Marsh commented. "In order to qualify for the program you must audition, and be chosen on the basis of writing ability.”
The writing program at Iowa has been the model for most other writing workshops in the country. A former graduate of the Iowa workshop, ,W^ace Stegner, is the director of the next largest program, at Stanford University.

INTERNATIONAL PREPARATIONS - Anticipating tomorrow's Festival of Naiions, which will be highlighted by international entertainment and a parade, are (l-r) Pat Hazelly, Chairman Rauf Khan and Noriko Yamamoto.
Music of native cultures from Japan to Scotland will be featured at the second annual Festival of Nations tomorrow in honor of the Southland’s foreign student population.
Campus foreign groups, fraternities and sororities are cooperating in presenting the event, which will again be hosted by Chancellor von KleinSmid.
The festival will begin at 11:30 a.m. when more than 20 costumed groups of performers will parade down University Avenue. Leading the line of march will be the Naval ROTC unit, with its members bearing tlie flags of all countries.
The chancellor will host a reception for tlie Los Angeles Consular Corps at the Faculty Center after the parade. More than 30 representatives of foreign governments will attend.
Following a luncheon in Alumni Park, the visiting song and danoe groups w'31 perform In authentic costumes to music of far-off lands.
The grand finale of the day will be a dance and social hour in the Student Lounge.

gram anthology, Engle writes, “We do not pretend to have produced the writers included in this book. Their talent was inevitably shaped by the genes rattling in the ancestral closets. We did give them a community in which to try out the quality of their gift.”
Marsh noted that Engle Influences the younger genera' tion of writers with his energetic interest.
The lecturer travels around the country attracting new writers. Engle’s work leads him to lecture to Iowa farmers about poetry and the need for good writers, Marsh said.
In turn, the farmers contribute money to buy equipment for schools, the English professor said.
“Engle is very warm, honest and extremely candid,” Marsh said.
Expert Probes Role Of Creativity in Man
Talk Series To Conclude
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Richard Hofstadter will conclude his series of five campus lectures tonight at 8 in 229 FH with a discussion of “The Rise of the Expert.”
The famed historian, who was brought to the university under the auspices of the Haynes Foundation, has examined various aspects of “Anti-lntellectualism in American Life” in talks to overflowing audiences. In his four previous lectures, the Columbia University scholar analyzed "The Unpopularity of the Intellect,” “Anti-lntellectualism in Our Time,’’ ‘The Decline of the Gentleman’’ and “The Fate of the Reformer.”
Dr. Hofstadter also talked to the Faculty Center Association on “Conservatism in America Today” and has participated in several classes since he first arrived here March 14.
The Haynes lecturer received the Pulitzer Prize in history in 1955 for “The Age of Reform: from Bryan to F.D.R.
The interaction between originality and self-confidence is a little like the old “which came first, the chicken or the egg“f" question, a USC psychologist claimed yesterday.
Dr. J. P. Guilford, professor of psychology, told the 39th annual American Orthopsychiatric Association at the Biltmore Hotel that “the relationship between the two attributes probably works both ways.” “Originality yields success, then self-confidence, which aids the individual who attempts to solve problems others would avoid,” he noted while discussing his 13-year study of creative thinking.
Creative Traits The psychologist said that the creative person is not necessarily sociable.
“He is self-sufficient and can take people or leave them alone,” he reported. “He’s an independent thinker who does not even depend on other’s evaluation of his own work.
“Although not necessarily a recluse, he may become estranged from his parents, teachers and peers due to an absence of mutual understanding,” he continued.
Self Confidence Dr. Guilford indicated that sometimes self - confidence breeds conceit fed by the praise of admirers.
A creative child who finds ideas more important and interesting than people can easily become unpopular and may even need special psychological counseling to help him get along with others, Dr. Guilford added.
‘ “Creativity is not a special gift reserved only for a select few-, but rather a quality shared by all humanity—to larger or smaller degree, of course,” the phychologist remarked.
He said that high scores on stability tests indicate whether a person is impulsive, risk-taking, cheerful or relaxed.
Flexibility and fluency of thinking, which contribute to creative ability, can be learned and improved with practice, the professor said.
'From the research of recent years, we have enough informa-
tion to know that there are ways of increasing the levels of the creative function of individuals,” he reported. Of course, there is a great deal more that we must learn.
“Nothing could contribute more to the general welfare of a nation and satisfaction and mental health of its people than a raising of the level of creative thinking,” he said.
Bruin Blood Runs Thick, Troy Trickles
Troy may fail in its attempt to equal UCLA’s challenge in this year’s Blood Drive.
Jim Walsh, chairman of the Blood Drive Committee, reported yesterday that less than half of USCs goal of 600 pints in the percentage battle had been filled, with only today and Mon-jday left for making pledges. UCLA overshot its 950-pint quota in its drive with donations of 1,002 pints.
Challenges issued Wednesday by fraternities and sororities are being filled rapidly, Walsh said, but dorm participation has been lagging.
As of yesterday, Stonier Hall led with 4 pledges, while Trojan had 3 and Marks, 2. Harris Plaza led the women’s groups with 4, EVK had 3; College, 2; j and Harris, 2.
Yesterday’s tabulations show-| ed the Theta Chis leading the. fraternities with 29 signups.; TEP, last year’s winner, had 10, and the Sammies, who chal- i lenged the TEPs, had 7.
Alpha Gamma Delta led1 sorority blood pledges with 30, j Alpha Phi had 14, and Delta, Delta Delta, 10.
The Squires led tho Knights in their contest by a ratio of 4 to 1, Walsh said, and the Amazons led the Spurs by 11.
The Independents have pledged 81 pints so far, and the Row, which challenged them, has 150.
Blood will be given Tuesday in the Methodist Church basement, 817 W. 34th St* across from Founders Hall.
Retains Lead As 2,410 Vote In Record Tilt
By DAN SMITH Senate Reporter Yell leader Bart Leddel outlasted Junior Class President Dann Moss to capture the ASSC presidency yesterday in one of the longest, most controversial and emotion-packed elections in USC history.
TRG candidate Leddel garnered 1,313 of the 2,410 votes cast in the extra runoff — to maintain the lead he held since the first voting session. Moss, the last of four other candidates, polled 1,083 votes. The remaining 14 ballots were not cast for either candidate.
A crowded Senate Chambers throbbed with victory cries at the final announcement as 200 Leddel supporters unleashed emotions that had been bottled up through a thiee-way runoff and then an unprecedented third balloting for the top ASSC position.
A resounding ovation, lasting more than three minutes and rent with cries of “We Want Bart” drowned out the tears of many “Dannettes,” coeds who had been working for loser Moss since a free-wheeling campaign noted for its flamboyancy opened last week.
Leddel, carried to the top of the Senate table on the shoulders of his enthusiastic supporters, was stunned by the massive ovation and realization that the long contest was over.
“All I can say to you is thank you very much,” the new president drawled to his admirers.
Later, Leddel said the greatest challenge to his administration would be in making student government truly representative.
“I accept the challenge,” he said simply.
Student interest in government has already skyrocketed over last year, evidenced by the record-breaking turnout at each voting session. More than 2,600 came to the polls in the primaries, and almost as many voted in each of the runoffs.
TRG party chairman Dwight Chapin said the party had confidence that Leddel would achieve all he had promised.
“TRG alsd accepts the challenge as a mandate to expand and provide the school with the competitive system and the truly representative government it needs,” Chapin said.
In last week’s primaries, Representation Party President Mike Robinson and write-in candidate Dennis Hayes were cut out of the competition as Leddel, Moss and AMS President Gil Garcetti were placed on the first runoff ballot.
More than 2,100 students voted in the first runoff, and Garcetti was narrowly nosed out of the race.
Before Helm announced the winner to the excited crowd, Election Commissioner John Moyer read the names of the six social studies senators elected yesterday in an election that almost didn’t happen.
New social studies senators to take office are Dennis Barr, Mark Frazin, Sharon Guy, Lynn Rehm (TRG), Barbara Shell (TRG) and Bruce Spector.
In the first two voting periods the social studies senatorial voting had to be voided because errors had been made in names on the ballot.
TRG elected 22 of its 29 candidates in its first major push as an open party. The party filled 13 ASSC Senate seats, three short of a majority of the 30 senate posts.
Before results were in yesterday, Dean of Students Robert J. Downey announced that the Board of Inquiry had apprehended the six persons who fraudulently stuffed the March 14 edition of the Daily jan with Moss campaign flyers.
Two of the offenders were not USC students and apparently no action is being taken against them. The four USC students involved will appear before Men’s Judicial Court next week, Dr. Downey said.
Moss was fined $12.50 for the deed, since the Elections Code holds candidates responsible for all actions in their name or in their behalf, the dean said.
Dr. Downey said the offenders had acted in election “enthusiasm.”
The latest election controversy concerned the validity of the presidential and vice presidential elections for the School of Architecture.
A delegation from the school claimed that their constitution provided for the election of their leaders, except senators, to be held within the school. They said the officers they had elected in December received more than 250 votes, while the officers written-in and declared elected in the recent election received only a handful of votes.
Moyer said a written protest would have to be filed with the Elections Committee bef(jre any action could be taken.
