Psychiatrist Lauds Return to Patients'
By EVA JORDAN
Existential psychcana lysis has managed to throw away the books and return to the
patient, Dr. Werner Mendel, assistant professor of psychiatry, told students of the Graduate School of Social Work on Friday.
In his lecture, “The Nature of Man," Dr. Mendel said the existential approach to psychiatry attempts to discover how the patient sees, structures and manipulates his world rather than to concentrate on unconscious motivations behind all his actions.
The points brought out by Dr. Mendel were related to the field of social work by John Milner, professor of social work, after the lecture.
“In essence, we each make our own world in which we perceive time, space and causality from within, not from the world without,” Dr. Mendel explained.
Scott Works To Be Given In Reading
The world of Sir Walter Scott, which revolves in a galaxy of human beings ranging from Scottish peasants and clergymen to Highland brigands, will be explored at the Noon Reading today at 12:30 ni 133 FH.
Dr. Ronald E. Freeman, associate professor of English will introduce the world by reading Scott’s “Waverly."
Supports Claim
In the novel, Edward Waverly is the nephew of a stanch supporter of the Stuart claim to the throne and son of a man who espouses the cause of George II, Dr. Freeman said.
“The political division in his family forces Waverly to make d e c i si o n s sometimes rashly and without deep conviction,’’ Dr. Freeman observed. “But he is not a vaccilating character so much as a victim of circumstances.
“Such a hero permits Scott to bring the causes, people and surroundings to the reader as new and fresh as they are to Waverly.” he said.
Well Versed
Writing just 60 years after the last ill - fated attempt to seat the Stuart pretender to the throne. Scott knew his subject, Dr. Freeman noted. His readers came to know Scotlani and the vigorous independence of the Scottish people.
“As a boy. Scott lived in the borderland country; he knew both Highlanders and Lowland-ers.” Dr. Freeman said.
For almost a century Scctt was the dominant novelist of England. Hardly a single succeeding novelist escaped his influence, he added.
“Y e t today, Scott’s discursive style, the length of hk
Looking at the patient from this point of view, more attention is paid to what he does and thinks, Dr. Mendel said. In this way, the patient is taught about himself and how he can apply what he has learned to better or alter his world.
“A patient not only needs understanding of his situation.” the psychiatrist explained, "he must have experience in correcting it.”
Dr. Mendel termed the existentialist approach “a loose theory which allows for interaction between two human beings,” namely the patient and the analyst.
Stresses Individual
He suggested that this approach does not attempt to explain behavior, but rather tries to understand it.
This method leaves many questions unanswered, but “it’s become fashionable today to admit you don’t know much,” he added.
Professor Milner pointed out after the talk that social work also stresses individualization of man.
“In social work the tendency is not to make a diagnostic classification, but to make a more individualized diagnosis,” he reported.
The social work professor, however, voiced disagreement with the existential emphasis on the future rather than the present.
Mental Treatment
Dr. Mendel had pointed out that in treatment of a mentally deranged person, the existential analyst will try to reorient distorted conceptions of time by opening the future with specific events to anticipate.
In a question and answer period after the lecture, Dr. Mendel was asked why his outlook was so optimistic when early existential philosophers seem so pessimistic.
"They’re dead and I’m not,” the lecturer retorted, adding, more seriously, that he did not agree that the existential philosophers were necessarily pessimists.
They always left a door open, he explained, and this is what is done in the existential theory of psychiatry.

Bill Seeks to End Committee Secrecy

Social Studies Senator Ned Taylor revealed plans Friday to introduce a “little Brown Act’’ bill at the next session of the ASSC Senate, Nov. 29.

officials illegal, would require j
ASSC committees to make all! meetings involving appointment of officers open to the public. | “It i« pretty hard to justify democratic government and secret policy,” Taylor said.; “Demorratic government im-: implies democratic understanding, the antithesis of secret session'.’'

The Los Angeles premiere of “The Rake’s Progress,” Igor Stravinsky’s latest and only full-length opera, has been scheduled for production by the Opera Theater of USC’s School of Music.
Dr. Walter Ducloux, head of the opera and conducting departments, will stage and con-
produced by the Metropolitan Opera Company.
In the USC production, leading roles will be sung by Gene Allen as Tom Rakewell, French Tickner as Nick Shadow, Emily McKnight as Ann Trulove, Robert Hasty as Father Trulove and Marjorie Gibson as Baba the Turk.
Settings will be by Gary
duct the opera in Bovard Audi- i Campbell and costumes by torium Dec. 2 at 8 p.m. Other
performances will be presented on Dec. 8 and 10.
Artist’s Theme
A preview of the opera will be given in Hancock Auditorium on Nov. 29 at 12:15 p.m. The preview will consist of a brief lecture by Dr. Ducloux and scene enactments by members of the cast.
Written in Los Angeles between 1948 and 1951, “The Rake’s Progress” takes its theme from a set of eight paintings by 19th century artist William Hogarth.
In three acts and an epilogue, the fable depicts the gradual disintegration of a young man who, goaded on by the Devil in the guise of a good-natured manservant, deserts his faithful bride-to-be for a life of pleasure and dissipation.
Opera Milestone
“ ‘The Rake’s Progress’ is a milestone in operas,” Dr. Ducloux said. “It is challenging not only because of the music, but also because of the wwk itself.

“As we catalog them, we’re making cards to send to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.,” Miss Rea said. “The titles will then be published in the National Union Catalogue, which gives the name of the book and every library in w*hich it can be found.”
Another purpose of cataloging is to prevent unnecessary duplication of volumes, the librarian said.
“If a book is listed at the Feuchtwanger Library we won’t have to carry it here at Doheny, too,” she noted.
The collection includes many important historical work s, biographies and documents
which provide authentic background for many historical novels.
Some of the rare and valuable items in the library include 13 incunabula — books published during the first 50 years after the invention of printing. Among them is a copy of one of the first illustrated books, the famous “Numberg Chronicle.”

Rising Costs
Ever since the tragic crash, medical expenses and other costs have been rising every day. For example:
One player is still bein? treated. So far he has a S28.-000 hospital bill, and specialists believe he will need care for a long time.
Two other players will probably need medical care for tho rest of their lives.
The crash left eight widows with 11 children. One football player left a wife and four children, all under 6 years of age.
Unpaid Bills
Funeral expenses for the 17 men still haven’t been paid.
Last fall, pleas from the communications media raised S60.000 for the survivors. However, official promotors say that more money is needed and have set a goal of $300,000.

Geologist Modifies Sand Grain Theory
Mechanical action of wind and water on sand grains is much less important than most geologists believe, a marine geologist proposed here recently-
Dr. Ph. H. Kuenen of the Geclogisch Instituut at Groningen, Netherlands, spoke on his recent experiments with the abrasion, frosting and solution-rounding of quartz.
Trying to achieve artificial rounding of sand grains, Dr. Kuenen has churned quartz grains and water at a length equal to 40 times around the equator. This extreme mechanical action only dulled the grains slightly, he reported. They were not polished as expected.
Dr. Kuenen also has whirled sand in concrete tunnels at high velocity, which has shown that the quartz abraded rapidly, and did not become frosted as expected, but highly polished.
Further experimentation suggested that wind action caused most polishing, and frosting of sand grains was a chemical and not a mechanical action.
“Frosting of desert sand may be the chemical result of dew action, wetting and drying the grains hundreds of times,” Dr. Kuenen proposed.
Dr. Kuenen, who was graduated from the University of Leyden in 1925, is currently spending three months here.
