Packed Hall Hears Hofstadter View Plight of New Intellectual
Board Ignores Insert Protest As Polls Open
By DAN SMITH Senate Reporter
The Board of Inquiry placed ASSC presidential candidate Bart, Leddel on “election probation” mere hours before the polls were scheduled to open, although it ignored a stiff protest of fraudulent insertion of campaign flyers in yesterday’s Daily Trojan.

Hostility'
The intellectual is unpopular in many sectors of the American public because his star has risen with the complex demands of the times, historian Richard Hofstadter told an overflow Founders Hall audience last night.
The Pulitzer - Prize winning scholar, speaking on “the Unpopularity of the Intellect,” said that the intellectual is resented as a form of power and privilege.
“He is seriously resented because he is needed too much,” the renowned author explained.
Growing Pains
The first campus talk of Dr. Hofstadter, who will be here through March 23 as part of the Haynes Foundation Lecture Series, attracted a faculty - student audience of more than 660. While he spoke in a packed 229 FH a standing-room-only crowd in the adjoining lecture room listened on loundspeakers. Many others were turned away.
“The intellectual has become the object of resentment because of the improvement, not the decline in his fortune,” the author of “The Age of Reform: from Bryan to F.D.R.” said.
Skepticism of the intellect is « legacy left by the 19th century to the 20th, Dr. Hofstadter said.
The complexity of modern life has steadily whittled away the forms the average citizen has to fully and intelligently comprehend the problems and issues of the day, he noted.
Creative Force To prevent the intellectual from acting as a creative, critical and questioning force, how ever is dangerous, Dr. Hofstadter said.
The American community will be far worse off if it denies the power of the intellect in its attempt to cope with modem life, the historian warned.
The Beveridge Memorial Prize scholar, who will discuss “Anti-Intellectualism in Our Time” in 229 FH at 8 tomorrow night, pointed out that the intellectual’s distinction lies in his "piety” and “playfulness.” The meaning of the intellectual’s life lies “in his quest for new uncertainties,” the historian added.

Researcher Reports Medical Hypothesis
A USC doctor has reported findings from research on the
adrenal glands that may have implications for improving the understanding of several diseases, including cancer.
Dr. Boyd Q. Harding, in collaboration with Dr. Don H. Nelson, associate professor of medicine, has worked out a biochemical hypothesis of the basic process by which the adrenal glands turn on and off the flow of hormones, enabling humans to cope with the stresses and strains of life.
Adrenal Glands Tlie adrenal glands produce a variety of male and female hormones which act upon the cells. They enable the body to respond to emotional stimuli and to cope with physical strains.
The sex hormones, essential to reproduction, are somehow involved in cancer of male and female glands, the pair’s report showed. The cortisone-type stress hormones which break
Hadley Prepares Summer Session
Procedures for registration in the summer session at the university were outlined yesterday by Dr. Paul E. Hadley, dean of summer sessions
He said students could pick up the official bulletin for the summer session at the Information Center. The bulletin contains essential information on the continuous ten - week program, the six-week summer session, University College and Civic Center courses and the post session program.
Students will be able to pick up registration packets from the Office of Admissions and Registration between May 14 and 19. The materials will in-elude an instruction sheet, and the packet must be returned by mail or in person by May 19.
Regular registration will be conductcd in June and August for those who do not take advantage of the early registration period.
Specific limits are placed on undergraduate students for the maximum number of units that can be taken in the various summer programs. An undergraduate student following an
! accelerated program may not j enroll for more than 12 units during the summer sessions.
Provisions are also made for students who would like to audit courses during the sum-imer, but the regular tuition fees will be in effect.
! Among the courses of special 'interest which will be offered during the summer session are | intensive Chinese, German, and Spanish: a motion picture pro-i duction workshop, which includes directing and practical [production of a sound picture; and a festival of contemporary j French drama, which is an ad-Ivanced workshop in repertory j theater.
Other courses to be offered include a symposium in storytelling for children, with history and criticism of the oral tale and practicum sessions in storytelling; a human perform-a n c e laboratory in physical education, which will consist of dance, individual, dual, and team sports; and gems and precious stones, which is a new geology course emphasizing the precious stones of the Americas.
up excess white blood cells may also be important in other
kinds of cancer.
From their own and others’ findings, the two concentrated their attention on a system which shuttles hydrogen and electrons with compounds which supply and receive these particles.
Vitamin C
The scientists found that vitamin C, absorbic acid, can intercept the hydrogen and electrons and prevent their release into enzyme systems, requiring sulfur and hydrogen atom pairs to become active.
The vitamin, they discovered, seems to keep the enzymes at rest and prevents the adrenal gland from functioning.
The adrenal gland is stimulated by ACTH, a hormone produced by the pituitary at the base of the brain. Under stress and ACTH stimulation, the adrenal gland begins pouring its vitamin C content into the blood.
One Effect
One of the effects of ACTH, as the scientists see it, is to enable a compound called glutathione to transfer hydrogen atoms from basic food stuffs to the enzymes and proteins of the adrenal gland.
The sulfur - hydrogen groups then activate a large series of enzymes which spark the numerous chtmical processes in the manufacture of the hormones.
When stress goes away and ACTH is cut off, the scientists believe that the vitamin C rises to a critical level at which it attracts hydrogen and electrons from glutathione. The enzyme systems come to rest and the chemical reactions in the production of the hormones cease.
Of New Deal
By FRAN DOROSHOW
The New Deal was the first political movement to recognize pluralism in American Society, yet it tried to return to the individualism of the 19th century, an assistant professor of history told philosophy students yesterday.
Speaking to the Philosophical Society on “Taproots of the New Deal,” Joseph Boskin said that the movement’s basic ccn-traiiction stemmed from a plant which had three vital roots in the past.
.John Locke Influence
“T h e New Deal plant was deeply rooted in the philosonhv of the Enlightenment, the ideas of the social evangelists and the responses to the Reform Movement,” he explained.
The American philosophy was greatly influenced by John Locke and other thinkers of the. Enlightenment, he said.
“People of the New Deal were concerned with the goodness of man, h i s rationality and environment which influenced the American colonial minds,” he continued. “New Deal thought was 'optimistic’ and conceived a process which actually flowed. Much like the earlier thinkers, it had faith in the future.”
The evangelistic religious movement also influenced the New Deal, he said.
Belief in Humanism
“The philosophy of the New Deal paralleled the social gospel,” Dr. Boskin said. “The belief in humanism, that man is at the center of society, and in faith in man’s ability to rectify his errors and eventually reach salvation, is found in both doctrines.”
This belief is found in former President Roosevelt’s explanation of his political philosophy—I am a Christian and a Democrat.
“By the word Christian, I feel Roosevelt meant the social ideal of a good life, with adun-dant progress, devoted to human welfare, and ‘under the eye and by the strength of God,’” he said.
In addition to philosophy, the New Deal reflect'; the reform movement development, which came as a response to the industrial urbanization of society, he added.
A group of politicians made a sham of their “fair campaign practice” slogans yesterday by flagrantly violating the long - standing independence of the Daily Trojan.
And quite as serious, the obvious political attempt to stuff the student newspaper with ASSC presidential candidate Dann Moss’s campaign flyers was virtually ignored by the Board of Inquiry —despite the fact that a letter of protest from the manager of student publications and the Daily Trojan had been filed with the board.
The facts point to the extreme seriousness of the situation: six men stole into the Daily Trojan print shop in the early morning hours yesterday, misrepresented themselves as being under university instructions and stuffed the “Vote Moss” campaign literature into approximately 1,000 papers.
The whole event can be chalked up as a neat trick to fool the voters into thinking that the Daily Trojan was backing Moss for ASSC president. But the action cannot be written off or ignored — as the Inquiry Board seems to want to do.
The Daily Trojan does not back Moss or any other candidate for ASSC president. In keeping with its 53-year-old tradition of impartially serving all students, it has not endorsed any candidate for any office.
Candidate Moss claims he had no knowledge of the abortive stuffing spree. He asserts that the flyers—which he says were previously approved by the Election Committee as campaign literature— could have been inserted as a stunt sprung by his supporters “without my knowledge” or by “opposition” who may be out to hurt him. Yet Moss admitted sending three of his cohorts to the Daily Trojan print shop at approximately 1:30 a.m. yesterday morning to “look things over.”
We do not know whether Moss. Moss backers or Moss opponents were responsible for the clandestine incident. But we find it incomprehensible and a sad commentary on the current state of political affairs that the Board of Inquiry has not even seen fit to find out and immediately investigate the matter—for the matter is quite serious, and bears immediate investigation.
By postponing inquiry “indefinitely” into the matter and refusing to take immediate action the board is not only condoning such flagrant outrages, but is also virtually flashing a green light for th.e continuation of such incidents.
Until guilt can be established and the appropriate action taken we suggest that postponing announcement of results of the election might even be in order. The matter is too serious to be put off.
Eyewitness Reports Vietnamese Warfare
Communist terrorism in South Viet Nam brings an average of nine gunshot wound cases daily to Saigon’s general hospital, a recently returned assistant clinical professor of orthopedics reported.
Dr. Herman C. Epstein, who spent six weeks at the Saigon hospital with the voluntary Orthopedics Overseas division of Medico — the medical assistance program first developed by the late Dr. Tom Dooley in Laos — told the
Daily Trojan that guerilla warfare is a daily and nightly affair.
During the time he spent there as medical adviser and teacher, the surgeon treated more than 100 cases himself, in addition to holding seminars and giving lectures. The School of Medicine professor said that the Vietnamese doctors with whom he worked were eager and willing to learn.
“But I learned more than I taught,” Dr. Epstein noted.
against Leddel and the Trojans for Representative Government Party (TRG), and then adjourned without setting a definite date for consideration of the complaint filed by the Daily Trojan and Tim Reilly Jr., manager of student publications.
Procedures Protests against Leddel and TRG accused them of violating election procedures and city ordinances in a rally held Monday evening in behalf of Leddel and ether TRG-backed j candidates.
Leddel was warned that ! further violation by TRG leaders in his behalf could result in his automatic disqualification by the board.
The three Daily Trojan edi-! tors protested heatedly the j fact that 1,000 copies of yes terday’s Daily Trojan had fraudulently been stuffed with handbills backing ASSC presi dential candidate Dann Moss.
Inquiries at Dixon Bell print shop where the Daily Trojan is printed revealed that six students claiming they represented the university had come to the print shop at approximately 5 a.m. and put the handbills in the paper.
“As you are aware, campus politicians have this year, as in the past, taken many steps in direct violation of the Elections Code,” the complaint from editor Barbara Epstein read. “But for 30 years no political group has violated the integrity or impartiality of the student newspaper.”
Make Example The letter to the board, also signed by Managing Editor Rick Butler and City Editor Hal Drake, insisted that “the person or group of persons responsible for this act must be uncovered and made examples of for this gross and reprehensible action.”
The Daily Trojan protest suggested that all candidates be held responsible and penalized for the action if the guilty party is not uncovered.
The board fined Leddel $12.50 for the rally violations and upheld an earlier fine levied because too many Leddel posters were placed Stonier Hall. Another fine for distributing handbills as a TRG expense was dropped.
The board expressed disapproval of TRG for its part in violating campaign procedures but did not take any action against the party.
The board meeting broke up because some of the members insisted they had other engagements to keep. Crowded schedules of faculty members on a budget committee kept the board from setting a definite date for consideration of the Daily Trojan protest, (Continued on Page 2)
Fail to Bar Poll Opening
The polls are set to open this morning at 9 in Alumni Memorial Park in front of Doheny library in spite of controversies and campaign flurries.
After months of planning, 10 days of active campaigning and several head-on collisions, more than 90 candidates will have less than 48 hours left before they learn the results of their campaign agonies.
Voters will be able to enter the polls today and tomorrow from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. The Election Committee, anticipating a large turn-out, has prepared a total of 15.580 ballots to handle both the regular elections and the run-offs Tuesday.
The committee alloted 4,500 ballots for ASSC races and divided the remaining ballots among AMS, AWS, class and field-of-study offices.
Ballot Mix-Up However, the committee was forced to re-make 500 ballots for social studies senatorial candidates because two names were accidently left off. The two candidates — Lynn Rehm and Dave Barthold — will appear on the official ballot.
Moyer also pointed out that Harry Arnold, who had been placed on the Elections Committee’s list of write-in candidates as running for social studies president, is actually a write-in candidate for the field s vice presidential post.
Moyer reminded voters that they will be required to show identification cards only at the polls. Voters must be enrolled in 12 or more units to have their names appear on the master roll of voters.
Voting Procedures Moyer has devised a plan of voting procedures that will permit four voting lines. He expects this to cut down on voting time.
“We hope more students will take advantage of the conveniences of this plan and will participate in the elections,” Moyer said.
According to Moyer's plan, the voter will enter the roped-off voting area and will leave his books at certain tables as he enters one of the four lines, which have been divided alphabetically.
Special officers, hired by the un.versity, will check the voter’s signature on the master roll with the signature on the identification card and will validate the card.

Christian and Jewish scholars have been replaced by a mutual wish to understand, a Jewish scholar of the New Testament said at the faculty luncheon yesterday.
Dr. Samuel Sandmel, provost of Hebrew Union College, Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, noted that comparisons between the two religions in the past have tended to be less temperate.
“It wasn’t until the 19th century that Jewish writing on Jesus and Christian scholarship on Judiasm started to be written on the basis of mutual re-
talks and a panel discussion.
Dr. Sandmel noted at the faculty luncheon that Jewish and Christian writing on each other can be divided into three major periods—the Graeco-Roman era of the second century, Spain and the Renaissance and post-19th century writings.
“The Graeco - Roman period revealed the first awareness of Christian scholars of the separateness of their religion from the parent organization,” he said. “As a result they questioned the reliability of Judaism.”
He said the usual type of
spect and an endeavor to un derstand.” Dr. Sandmel re- siting in this period was titl-ported at the luncheon, which “Against the Jews” and was was one of a series of appear-,marked by polemics rather ances on campus yesterday as than any effort to understand, part of a religious program Jewish writers, in turn, wrote sponsored by the Chaplain's Of- so that “compliment was re-

—Daily Trojan Photo JEWISH SCHOLAR - Dr. Samuel Sandmel, provost of Cincinnati's Hebrew Union College, discussed acute differences and overlapping beliefs that unite in the Ju-deo-Christian tradition as the third in a series of prominent theologians to appear in a current program under direction of University Chaplain Dr. John E. Cantelon.

Acute differences and overlapping beliefs unite in making the Judeo-Christian tradition. Jewish scholar Samuel .Sandmel told students and educators yesterday.
Discussing “Judaism and Christianity.” Dr. Sandmel. provost of Cincinnati’s Hebrew Union College, explained that although much of the theology and history are different, thrre are many areas of overlapping compositions in the two religions.
“Roma n-dominated Jew-; were the first believers in Christianity.” the biblical scholar said. “People longed for the coming of a Messiah to gather together the Jews of the world and to create a king of Palestine.
“As Christianity spread, it became less interested in these Jewish hopes and less tied to (Continued on Page 2)
