Schooner Advertises For Polynesian Trip
Democrats Will Gather
A special meeting of the Trojan Democratic CJub has been scheduled for today at 2 in 133 FH to discuss the possibility of a complete reorganization of the club.
Dr. John A. Crittenden, assistant professor of political science and faculty adviser to the TDC, said the meeting will decide once and for all the direction in which the actions of the TDC are pointed.

A trip on the schooner Dwyn Wen to French Polynesia this summer, designed especially to meet the summer schedule of teachers and students is being planned by cinema student Roy Weintraub.
Eighteen people will be se lected to take part in the activities, including exploring, diving, fishing, mountain climbing and photographing, Weintraub said.
“This trip differs greatly from a tour,” Weintraub ex' plained. “We will be able to travel among the islands and go into little inlets to explore and to see the culture. Our skipper speaks Tahitian and several of the six crew members are Tahitians, so we will be able to know the people better.”
Weintraub pointed out that the 106-foot schooner, which has been around the world three times, has complete navigational equipment, ship to shore radio, two shore boats, air compressor available for diving tanks and ample deck
Weintraub and his colleagues plan to record Tahitian music while on the island. Weintraub will also act as radio operator.
The Dwyn Wen will leave on June 17 and will reach the South Seas early in July. After a month of cruising among the islands, Weintraub plans to ar rive in Tahiti Aug. 4 to spend four days. Then the Dwyn Wen will take a two-week cruise of the leeward islands, returning to Tahiti on August 23. The passengers will stay there in Papeete until they leave Sept. 1 for the mainland.
Weintraub said the cost of the trip will be $1,415, including two and one-half months aboard the schooner and return by air direct or via Honolulu. Travelsr can also return via Samoa.
The ship is docked at Fellows and Stewart in San Pedro, Weintraub said, and can be visited by interested men and women.

Fertig Calls on America To Educate New Nations
America must educate the elite of newly emerged states, not the masses, Dr. Norman R. Fertig told the Faculty Wives Club yesterday.

The United States had problems getting used to handling newly emerged states after World War II, he explained.
“There was much fragmentation in their new independence,” he said, “We still don’t appreciate the ease of communication the states have developed.”
Ghana and Guinea, for instance, are English and French, yet they held the same fundamental beliefs. Without consulting their masses, the leaders decided to unite the two countries.
“It was a legal publicity stunt,” he said. “If the U.S. opened such negotiations with Canada, there w'ould lie de-1 bates, political battles and un-

Bibliophiles Crab Buys At Library
More than half of the 2003 surplus books and periodicals on sale in Doheny Library Patio were sold by yesterday afternoon, but library officials jater promised an additional group of books for the 9 to 6 sale today.
Gorden E. Aspengren, librarian in charge of gift and exchange, said some of the books date back to the 19th century. Some early 20th century books and many recent writings are also being sold.
Arranged on several tables on the patio are books ranging from the “Affairs of O’Malley,” by William MacHarg, to ‘The Voice of America” by George Wilder Cartwright.

when a Shakespearean play is turned into opera? The Opera Theater head explained that it is first stripped of all subsidiary characters so that it won’t become long and unwieldly.
“Then it is changed into a platform so that it can become the expressive explosion that music can make it, since music alone serves so well to enhance emotion,” he said.
Replacements In the opera, the three witches are replaced by a trio of choruses and the murderers are replaced by a male chorus, Dr. Ducloux explained.
‘This is to provide a framework of macabre and sinister, but not rollicking, humor,” he said. "The witches treat Macbeth and Banquo like toys with their predictions, and the murderers commissioned to kill Banquo take strange pride in their job.”
He noted that the part of Lady Macbeth is one of the greatest and most feared soprano roles ever written.
Fight for Love “Verdi wanted her to speak through her singing,” he said. “He wanted her to be short, not tall or beautiful. He wanted her to be a woman who had to fight for the love of her husband.”
He pointed out the frequent conjectures that the opera be renamed "Lady Macbeth” because of Verdi’s emphasis on her.
Dr. Ducloux introduced Marjorie Gibson, who will play Lady Macbeth in the upcoming production. She sang several selections from her role, including the lady’s last scene, her sleepwalking scene. “Macbeth” will be the fifth

“We got together and decided to try to clean up the government, to establish equal representation and make people care.”
The “new face” in the presidential campaign had been absent from student government since his freshman year, when he tried to build spirit in the dorms as president of Marks Hall.
“We saw that the ASSC didn’t have any support from the students and so we tried to build some in the dorms,” he | recalled. “But we were stopped by the underground political system and I just got fed-up with student government.”
The former all-league swimmer at San Marino High School retired to his fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau, and his studies for the next two years until re-emerging as the TRG candidate in February-.
He campaigned for the type of government he felt had been missing from the campus, one that would ignore ‘‘political trivia” and work for “the interest of the students.”

Rules
Statute
By BARBARA EPSTEIN Daily Trojan Editor
The School of International Relations instituted proceeding to succeed from the ASSC as a field of study yesterday afternoon as elected officers from the IR School and seven other fields were barred from ASSC installation ceremonies.
The break was taken by the IR School cabinet in protest against what it termed a “tyrannous” ASSC regulative statute which demands that all fields of study revise their field constitutions by April 10 to comply with newly drawn Senate stipulations.
Outgoing ASSC Presilent Hugh Helm ruled Tuesday that cfficers of fields which did not revise their constitutions wou!d not be installed.
Threat to Fields The ruling which threatened 11 of the 15 recognized fields kept senators from eight fields, including international relations, from taking office. In his last official act as president, however. Helm allowed officers in social studies, pharmacy and communication to be seated, announcing that their constitutions had been revised, although one day past the deadline.
School of International Relations President Pete Burrows branded the regulative legislation as a blatant infringement of the rights of all fields of stu-c!y and asked that the other fields follow the lead of the School of International Relations by breaking with the ASSC until their rights are re-established.
Dictatorship
It is unfortunate that the ASSC Senate has taken upon itself what seem to be dictatorial powers over fields of study,” Burrows said. "The School of International Relations entered a contract with the ASSC to function under that group as a field of study wit-i certain prearranged basic rules.
“We will continue to function under those rules and continue to remain outside of the ASSC until such time as the ASSC Senate or whoever else is in power will accept our constitution as it stands and always has stood,” he continued.
Muddy Water The IR Cabinet, which drew up a nine-point attack against the ASSC, termed it a “shame” that the School of International Relations had been dragged “into the muddy water of petty politics.”
One of the cabinet’s main objections is the statute’s provision that after April 10 any unchanged constitution would become invalid a n d be superseded by the statute itself.
“This is completely absurd.” Burrows said. “How can a three-part statute supersede a long-standing constitution of 11 articles and 26 sections which provides for its own amendment. The statute leaves no way out.

The IR Cabinet also objected to a provision that a president, vice president, secretary, senator (s) and three members at large be elected in all fields of study.
