Coming in second in last weeks’ voting for the Mr. and Mrs. titles were Bob Franier, Alpha Chi Omega entry, and Miss Rowland.
Voting, as measured by the amount of money collected in candidate coffers, was reported “still light” by Ken Payne, Troy Chest chairman.
Extension He added, however, that Troy Chesters will have until Wednesday to reach their objective. The three-day extension was granted after rainy weather slowed early progress.
Troy Chest collections from the Trojanality contests and classroom donations totaled more than $1,600 of the $4,000 goal on Friday.

Dance Drama Will Debut At Stop Gap
The perseverence of a drama department dancer-director led to the adaptation of a James Hurst short story into an original one-act dance-drama for the upcoming series of plays in Stop Gap Theater.
James Penrod, who choreographed the campus production of “The King and I” last year, developed the format for adapting ‘The Scarlet Ibis” to the dance stage, and then “sold” it to his classmates.
?nqsQ
As a result, fellow student William Dauphine prepared a script for the modified ballet, and Frank Brazinski composed a complete musical score. Dancer Penrod, who choreographed the show, also enlisted the aid of David Anderle as set designer.
The outcome of all this work will debut Thursday night at 8:30 with two more conventional dramas for a three-night run. The other plays are Moliere’s “The Doctor in Spite of Himself” and “The Exception and the Rule” by Bertolt Brecht.
Tickets for the Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances are on sale for $1 in the Drama Office, 3709 S. Hoover St
Three Forms
“The Scarlet Ibis” in its finished form combines dance, narration and dialogue. Penrod, who has choreography credits ranging from the Sam Francisco Opera to jazz ballets, is director of the production.
Set designer Anderle, who worked with Penrod last year on “The King and I,” said that his set will be an attempt to integrate “the lyrical qualities of the material with the lyricism of dance itself.”
chosen to lead the camp program.
Students will sign up for interviews at the time they turn in their applications. Counselors will be selected on the basis of the application and interview by Bill Lyons and Dianne Riley, head men's and women’s counselors.
A banquet in honor of the new counselors will be held later this semester. Training sessions will begin next month and will continue throughout the semester.
Camp Crafts
The new counselors will learn about camp crafts, devotions, riding, swimming and singing and will report methods of teaching to other staff members.
The Troy Camp Committee is scheduled to make a Row tour tonight to initiate the program. Speakers will visit each house on the Row, delivering applications to house presidents and explaining camp procedure.
Teams include Faye Howser and Bob Chettle, Troy Camp co-chairmen; Melinda Macrat and Bill Lyons; Marcia Tappaan and Dann Moss; Jolene Givens and Rod Thompson; Joyce Bow man and John Clyman and Linda Mills and Wes Johnson.
Students Finance
The camp is financed by stu dent, faculty and alumni donations. Troy Camp completed a successful fund drive last semester by raising a little over half of its $4,000 goal through contributions, game receipts and Troyland.
Judge Admits Harris Will, OKs Officials
The will of the late Mrs. John W. Harris, USC trustee for 24 years who died Jan. 30, was admitted to probate Friday.
The court approved appointment of Chancellor von KleinSmid and the Security-First National Bank as executors of the estate, for which the university will be the residual legatee.
Because bond was waived for the chancellor, there was no need to estimate the es-. tate’s value in order to determine the size of a surety bond that otherwise would have been required.
It will probably be some time before an inventory of the estate is filed, attorneys said.
Master Roll Ends Fee Bill Debate
By DAN SMITH Senate Reporter
ASSC aspirants decided Friday to pay $300 for a master roll that will be used to determine voter eligibility at the spring elections.
The roll will be used in place of fee bills to determine whether voters are qualified full-time students.

Bartok Book To Receive Translations
A book on Bela Bartok by a professor in the School of Music was recently translated into Japanese by the Tokyo firm of Kunokuniya.
“The Life and Music of Bela Bartok” by Halsey Stevens, head of the composition department, was originally issued by the Oxford University Press in 1953. It has remained a definite work on the life of the late Hungarian composer and is now in the process of revision for a new English translation.
The Japanese translation was made by Naosuke Uyama, professor in the University of Shizuoka, under the sponsorship of Katsumiro Shida, a businessman and Bartok enthusiast.
Eyewitnesses Will Discuss Angola Battle
Two eyewitnesses to the conflict between natives and Portuguese whites in Angola will speak today at 3:15 in 106 FH.
Fred Brancel, a former agri cultural missionary, and the Rev. Malcolm McVeigh will discuss “Angola Aflame” at the afternoon session, which is being sponsored by the Wesley Foundation.
Both men recently returned from the African colony, which has been under rigid govern ment control since the natives began agitating for reform, the Rev. Jack Shaffer, campus Lutheran pastor, reported.
Dragging Feet
“Th< one nation dragging its feet the most on the colonialism issue is Portugal,” the Rev. Mr. Shaffer explained.
“The situation there is tense enough to explode into something worse than the Congo,” he said.
Since the hijacking of the liner Santa Maria last year by revolutionaries, the Portuguese government has severely restricted the number of foreign reporters allowed in Angola.
The United Nations has passed a resolution to investigate the Angola situation, but has been denied entrance by Portugal.
The National Broadcasting System was allowed to enter the country to film a "White Paper” on the situation only after illegally entering the country to speak to native insurgents.

By ARLINE KAPLAN
The highly explosive “Tropic of Cancer” obscenity trial was condemned recently by James Durbin, lecturer in English.
Speaking to 30 students at the Hillel Foundation, Durbin claimed that “the whole affair should be declared a mistrial."
Durbin explained later that the subjectivity involved in such terms as “literature,” “pornography” and “obscenity” obscures the legal issues involved in such a case.
The “Tropic” trial developed when a Hollywood bookseller, Bradley Smith, 31, was accused of violating a state obscenity statute by selling Henry Miller’s “Tropic of Cancer,” a work depicting Paris life.
Since its outset six week? ago, the trial has focused on views of censorship, pornography and “an adult’s right to read.”
Durbin quipped that during the past two weeks he has forsaken “obituaries and comic strips” to read the running ac-
counts of the trial, and he has thought seriously about its implications.
He diagnosed the problem as whether or not the book should be sold “without people running across the state line after dark to purchase it.”
He questioned whether the book were actually harmful.
I n civilized communities, there are prohibitions against acts which are injurious or harmful to other people, Durbin said.
“We know what physical harm is, and we can measure it, for our physical constitutions are similar,” he continued. “But do we know what injures the mind? Do we feel so insecure that we should be disturbed by anything likely to unsettle us?”
Durbin pointed out by citing dictionary definitions that terms such as “literature,” “pornography” and “obscenity are subjective. “It would be impossible to discuss these terms with the precision and objectivity characteristic of a legal trial, he claimed.
“In addition, prejudice and emotional sensationalism have made it difficult to view the trial fairly,” he said.
Durbin explained that the difference between literature and pornography is a difference in intent.
“A work which Is pornographic is intended to promote lewd and licentious actions,” he noted. “Literature, however, is passive; it is only trying to present a situation.”
The English lecturer asserted that the only person who could be able to determine intent would be the author. He also asked how one could determine the effect that a work would have on a reader.
“You could be excited by Peter Rabbit, if you read things into it,” he declared, raisihg his eyebrows.
“Considering the ‘Tropic of Cancer’ as a book of pornography, Mr. Miller did not do as well as he might,” Durbin claimed. “Thus, we must study his intentions.”
Durbin then read Miller’s statement. “My idea has been briefly to present a resurec-tion of the emotions, to depict the conduct of human beings in the stratosphere of ideas, that is, in the grip of deleri-um.”
Miller said his purpose was “to sow strife and ferment so that by emotional release those who are dead may be restored to life.”
Durbin felt that the statement indicated a “fairly serious purpose.” He remarked that to judge a work is to determine if it meets or falls short of its purpose.
Durbin conjectured that discussions of morality and ob scenity could be traced back to the caves in Pompeii, when a middle-aged matron might be disgusted by some pictures painted on the rock walls.
“In the long run, common sense and rationality usually win out,” he emphasized. “It is just that you get impatient if you want to get the book now.”
tests from several quarters earlier this month, causing the Election Committee to seek the alternate system.
The four presidential candidates — Gil Garcetti, Bart Leddel, Dann Moss and Mike Robinson — joined forces with ASSC President Hugh Helm at the candidates’ meeting Friday to override opposition to the master roll plan.
Helm Plan
Under the plan, as outlined by Helm, IBM machines will be used to sort registration cards of students enrolled 10 or more units. A staff of secretaries will then pull the cards of students enrolled in less than 12 units, the number required of voters.
A master roll sheet of eligible voters will be made from these cards.
The candidates for ASSC, AWS, AMS, field-of-study and class offices voted to contribute $3 each to pay the estimated $300 cost of the plan. The presidential candidates volunteered to pay the costs not covered by contributions.
Needs Money
Helm said the candidates must get the money to his of' fice, 321 SU, today so the committee can begin compiling the list by Friday. The Election Committee collected $42 at the end of the candidates’ meeting.
The $3 paid by each candidate will not be considered part of campaign expenses, Helm said.
The major opposition to the plan was raised by several candidates who complained that some students might make the contributions a campaign issue by releasing the names of aspirants not contributing to the fund.
Noon Reading To Spotlight Two Themes
The double theme of the death of heroism and the death of love in “Morte D’Arthur” by Sir Thomas Malory will be the subject of the English Noon Reading today at 12:30 in 133 FH.
Mrs. Nancy H. Owen, lecturer in English, will read the final sections of the book that deal with the death of heroism, symbolized by the death of Arthur and his kingdom, and the death of love, symbolized by the deaths of Launcelot and Guinevere.
“Morte D’Arthur” relates the romantic and heroic aristocratic exploits of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table. The reading will deal particularly with Arthur, his queen Guinevere, and her lover. Sir Launcelot du Lac, one of Arthur's most famous knights.
“The chivalric world of heroic knights and courtly ladies was disappearing in Malory’s time,” Mrs. Owen noted. "And so his book, which celebrates this dying world, is essentially nostalgic, looking back to past glory and beauty. It is an immense and moving dirge sung over the body of a great medieval tradition.
“Battles were no longer won by knights on horseback; the important military unit had become the foot soldiers,” she explained. “So knights as a military class had lost much of their usefulness.”
"Courtly love, the tradition of romantic love which thrived not

tration problem.
He charged that the administration could “get their hands on the money” if it really want ed to.
“However, since they have made no offer, it is up to us to get the money if we don’t want to use fee bills,” Garcetti declared.
Some candidates suggested that both fee bills and a master roll could be eliminated if the voting requirement was changed to include students enrolled in six or more units, making identification cards sufficient verification.
Amendment
Helm said, however, that an amendment to the ASSC Constitution would be needed to change the unit requirement. He explained that an amendment would have to be voted on at the elections and would not solve the present problem.

Peter Foy, who is noted for special effects work and creation of the flying scenes in "Peter Pan,” will speak to drama students today at 3:15 in the Stop Gap Theater.
In his varied career Foy has appeared on Broadway and the London Stage and done work for several television variety shows, including the Dinah Shore, Ed Sullivan and Garry Moore productions.
He is appearing as one of a series of speakers brought here by the local National Collegiate Players to bring closer harmony between the professional and academic theater.
Foy has an unusual background in theater work. He played a flying sea witch at the age of 14 by "flying” at the end of a thin steel wire.
Within a year he had abandoned the wire to become the youngest stage manager in England. By the age of 18, his "flying” experience apparently headed him into tlie

and staging service shows.
After the war, Foy continued his “flying” ways by starting work on a musical about a man who could fly. He got so engrossed in the technical aspects of making men “fly” on stage that he was soon recognized as an expert in special staging effects, and he has been helping earthlings "fly” ever since.
