Religion Panel SAVINGS, LOAN EXECUTIVE University Get Will Analyze WILL SERVE AS TRUSTEE National Grant
World Faiths
By PONCHITTA PIERCE
Eleven Japanese religious leaders motivated by the belief that a religious understanding of the world can lead to better world rela- | tionships and that “one seeing is better than 100 hearings” will visit USC tcday. i
While on campus, the group — the first interfailh Japanese religious mission to the United j Stales — will participate in a panel discussion on “Religious , Understanding: East and West” j at 2:15 in 225 FH.
The entire university com- ] munity has been invited to at- j tend the panel discussion and ! to meet the 11 leaders at an i after-discussicn tea at the I YWCA.
First Time
Sponsored by the University Committee on Religious Inter- j ests, the leaders’ visit to USC , marks the first time in recent ! years that such a representative group, numbering five Buddhists, | four Shintos and two Christians, has been on campus.
The religious leaders, touring the United States as guests of the School of Religion at the State University of Iowa, will travel through 13 states in order to familiarize themselves with the ‘ American religious scene” and with the influence of religion in America.
“Primarily, these men are interested in the part that interreligious understanding can play in better world relationships,” explained tour host for the group Marcus Bach, director of special projects at the Scliool of Religion of the State University of Iowa.
Revival Groups
Dr. Bach returned from Japan eight months ago after observing that revival groups there have formed with roots in the old Shinto and Buddhist faiths.
“Japan is an area where nuclear fallout is a reality and a threat,” Dr. Bach noted, “The Japanese have experienced Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These leaders hope, by meeting men in America who are similarly concerned, that something may be done to influence leaders of all countries to seek deeper bases for understanding.”
Dr. J. Wesley Robb, head of USC's undergraduate department of religion and chairman of the university committee, agreed with the need for greater understanding.
"There is no question about the need for world understanding in a time when international tensions are at their peak and religion can be either a divisive instrument or a uniting agent for our world,” he noted.
Michael F. B. MacBan, savings and loan executive, was elected recently to the Board of Trustees for a three-year term as alumni trustee.
MacBan, president-elect of the General Alumni Assn., succeeds attorney Ralph E. Smith, former president, as one of the university’s three alumni trustees. The others are E. Russel Werdin. also an alumni past president, whose term as a trustee will expire next year; and Bruce W. McNeil, current alumni president, who will be a trustee until 1963.
MacBan is senior vice president of Metropolitan Savings and Loan Assn. He was graduated from USC in 1930 after serving as president of the student body in his senior year. His wife, the former Donna Lewis, also a USC graduate, was vice president of the student body the next year.
MacBan was chairman of the class agent program of the 1960-61 Alumni Fund campaign.
MacBan is a member of the Civic Development Committee of the U. S. Savings and Loan League and was a staff vice president of the California Savings and Loan League from 1947 to 1952.
He is the director of the University Club of Los Angeles, and associate member of the Republican State Central Committee and a member of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. He also belongs to the Trojan Club, Republican Associates and the Los Angeles Advertising Club,
Campus Critics View India Prohibition Plan
Campers Aid Fund Drive At Half-Time
Troy Campers had the thrill of a lifetime Saturday when they were hosted by their counselors and USC students at the Illinois-USC football game.
The boys and girls, aged 8 to 12, were week-long guests of the student bot’y at Camp Btckhorn near Idyllwild in August and were cn campus to help promote this year's drive.
Final Tabulations
Containers were passed at half-time for final contributions, and pledge cards from clubs and social groups began coming in Friday with further donations.
Final tabulations of donations from all groups and individuals will be made available tomorrow.
Faye Henderson, chairman of the Troy Camp Committee, said she expected that the $4,000 goal would be reached by the time final donations are in. She believes that Tro: land and Songfest receipts will make up any difference.
Devotional Sen ice
Next year's camp will bring 120 underprivileged children to the week-long adventure in the mountains. Their time has been carefully planned so that they will get a variety of experiences.
A day at Trey Camp begins with a devotional service and ends with the camaraderie of the roaring campfire, spirited s^ng-fests and stop-telling.
Swimming, water safety instruction, crafts, horseback riding, sports and hiking are featured during the day.
By DICK CAROTHERS
In 1933, the Roosevelt administration repealed the 13-year-old prohibition act which had to a great degree helped bring about the onslaught of organized crime throughout the United States.
Speakeasies, bootlegging, bathtub gin, kidnaping and murder organizations and many other forms of flagrant gangster cliques came into being to “get the easy money.”
During the prohibition period the local and federal governments lost millions of dollars in revenue which a liquor tax could have brought into their treasuries.
Total BaJt
A lesson learned by one should be a lesson for all. But United Press International reports Iridia is on the verge of a total ban on the consumption of all alcoholic drinks. Break-off date urged by government-backed prohibitionists is 1966.
Two USC faculty members came up with opposing views on this vital Indian question of drink or dry.
Malcolm B. Stinson, Social Work School dean, said that an Indian would admit to taking alcohol in the same manner an American would admit to taking drugs.
“Asking an Indian if he ever drank would never bring an honest and direct answer. They really do believe in prohibition,” he said.
Drink Issue
However, Viets Logue, foreign students counselor said, “If they were died-in-the-wool Moslems or Hindus who do not believe in drink, why is there an issue of it?”
Logue claimed that the Indians seem to be fighting a losing battle in trying to force prohibition on the people.
“Legislating social behavior in areas where individual desires are involved does not mean it can be carried out, even with application of force techniques,” he said.
Some of the areas in India in
which the prohibitionists have made no inroads include Calcutta and the military personnel.
Calcutta, one of India’s biggest cities, remains the bastion of the lawful drinker. The city observes “dry Wednesdays,” but during the rest of the week bars do a brisk business.
British tradition is blamed for setting up the clubs that still cater to the thirsty Indian soldier.
However, there are some Indian states that are already dry.
Bombay, capital of dry Maharashtra state, is notorious for its bootleggers and its formidable home industry of making illicit booze.
New Delhi, where diplomatic cocktail parties flourish, has no

Alps to Supply Reading Site
A woman novelist and a small village in the Swiss Alps will provide the action for the subject of today’s English Noon Reading at 12:30 in 133 FH by Dr. Eleazer Lecky, English professor, on E. M. Forster.
The short story he will read, “The Eternal Moment,” is from a collection of stories by Forster which was published under the same title in 1927.
The weman novelist returns to a small village after many years absence and decides that she is unduly responsible for the corruption of the town since she used it for one of her stories, Dr. Lecky said.
Forster’s works show wit, characterization and dramatic irony, even though his themes are somewhat disquieting, he commented.
Forster’s reputation rests only on five novels, "A Passage to India’’ being the most well known, Dr. Lecky said.
For Program
A grant to the university from the National Science Foundation to conduct a study in the home building industry was announced Saturday by President Topping.
The grant, first cflk its kind in Southern California history, will enable USC to prcbe Los Angeles’ massive single-lamily home building industry.
The project will be directed by Dr. Arthur L. Grey, head of USC's graduate program in city and regional planning, and Dr. Gordon W. Bertram, associate professor of economics at Los Angeles State College.
Explaining the reasons for the study, Dr. Grey said, “Economists generally rate the housing industry as low in productivity in comparison with the mechanical industries.
Local Efficiency
“We expect to investigate the efficiency of the local home building industry because it has consistently out - produced all other metropolitan areas in the matter of single-family residence.”
He claimed that the Los Angeles home building industry has “for the last decade been either first or second in the nation in the total number of all types of dwellings erected.”
Already under way, the research project will be complete in an estimated two years. Detailed results will be made available to builders and the public.
Area Probed
The researchers said the investigation will check closely the performance of the Los Angeles home building industry in regard to characteristics of the industry itself as they apply to production and economic factors of the area as they apply to the industry.-
Dr. Grey pointed out that only slight systematic investigation has been conducted on the economics of the housing industry nationally, despite the enormously important role played by residential construction cn the stability of the whole economy.
Hard Picture
He believes the inadequate attention has been due to the great difficulty in getting a careful picture of the activities of the thousands of individuals and big construction enterprises in the industry.
Among the areas which the USC research will probe for its answers on homebuilding productivity are the effect of business fluctuations generally, the extent to which builders confine their activities to home building or engage in other construction activities, the relationship of building codes, labor and management and support of mortgage financing institutions.
Dr. Grey, who is also an associate professor of economics, has published a number of studies on business planning in the Los Angeles area.
He is affiliated in a consulting capacity with the Real Estate Research Corporation of Chicago and Los Angeles and is a member of the California State Scholarship Commission.
Friend Lauds Nobel Winner For Life-Long Peace Efforts
By FRANK L. KAPLAN
No one else in South Africa deserved a Nobel Prize for Peace more than Albert J. Lut-huli, a USC student and personal friend of the deposed Zulu chieftain said recently.
Ahmed Essa, teaching assistant in the English department, made the statement after it was announced that the 1960 prize was belatedly awarded to Luthuli.
The Norwegian parliament committee, which makes the award, announced it simultaneously with the 1961 Nobel Prize for Peace, which was awarded to the late U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold. Hammarskjold was the first person to receive the prize posthumously.
Essa became friends with the African tribesman during debates in forensic organizations. The USC graduate student said that Luthuli spoke at several meetings of various organiza-
tions of which he was a member.	,
“Most countries or people fighting for their rights usually resort to violent means,” Essa said. “And even though there is a small segment of South Africans who believe that they should fight for their rights, Luthuli has always insisted on non-violent means.”
The Zulu ex-chieftain will not be able to receive the Nobel Prize in person because of restrictions placed upon him by the South Africa government.
“To understand why he won the Nobel Prize, we must consider the practice of the South Africa government of apartheid, or strict segregation of all races,” he noted.
In South Africa, for instance, 2 million whites govern a population of mixed races of 14 million, and only the whites can vote, Essa declared.
It was due to this situation that Luthuli was deposed by the

government as a chief o£ Aba-semakolweni tribe of the Zulu Nation and as president of the African National Congress (an organization that spoke for majority of African Negroes). The Congress was banned in 1960.
“Luthuli always has stood for better ra^e relations,” Essa said. “For this He has been imprisoned several times and at one time even charged with treason. But this charge was later dropped by the higher court.”
Today the Zulu Christian leader lives as a peasant in his village, where he has beeen restricted to a form of exile by South Africa’s white supremacy government, according to reports by the Norwegian parliamentary committee. He has been forbidden to take part in any meetings.
But even in his restricted way of life, he still is working toward his goal of better race relations, the USC student noted.
By DEBORAH KLUM
The latest short story by a new member of the English department facultyiwill be published in the Nov. 4 issue of the Saturday Evening Post.
“A Grandfather’s Gift,” by Willard Marsh, assistant professor, describes the way a bum sells Portsmouth Square in San Francsico to a little boy for just a few cents and the way the youngster behaves when he thinks he is the owner of the square.
As an unscheduled bit of irony, Professor March last Wednesday received an apologetic letter from the Post’s senior editor, Stuart Rose, apologizing that the story came out “somehow with a byline by William Marsh.” A correction was promised for a subsequent issue.
Horns, Flags Will Herald Scarf' Birth
Scarf, a new campus humor magazine, will make its literary debut, on the Row this evening when 20 marching, horn-tooting and flag-waving coeds announce the publication's dinnertime arrival, Bob Sangster, associate editor, disclosed Friday.
The magazine will “hit the news stands” Tuesday.
Sangster, who claims Scarf is a direct descendant of the ancient Wampus and ncw-defunct SCaffold, said the publication’s higher price’ of 50 cents is due to increased size.
More for More
“It seems pretty logical that when you're getting twice as much you’re going to pay twice as much,” Sangster reasoned. The magazine’s first issue contains 44 pages.
Scarf Editor Bil Nelson (not USC's quarterback) said that, if nothing else, his publication would be completely original.
“It’s our aim to combine the subtle sophistication of Playboy with the unrestrained satirical wit of Mad,” Nelson revealed.
“We have gathered humorous comments and stories concerning the university, the Row and local night spots and packaged them in our publication for all to read,” he said.
Increase ‘Sophistication’
The Scarf editor plans to increase the publication’s “sophistication” with each issue.
“We have concentrated on good jokes and cartoons in our first issue,” he noted. “We think students will enjoy our ads, too.”
In addition1 to -Nelson and Sangster, the staff includes Jerry Kuske and Gene Mikov, photographers, and Tom Capra, layout editor.
An earlier story by Professor Marsh, “Bus Fare to Tomorrow,” was published in the Post in 1954. That same year it was included in the “Best Saturday Evening Post Stories of 1954” and was bought by Columbia Screen Gems,
The new professor has had numerous short stories, articles and poems appear in leading magazines both in this country and abroad.
Popular Works
His work’s have been included in seven anthologies, the latest of which was “Best American Short Stories of 1961,” which published “Mexican Hay-ride.”
He has also had articles published in the best short stories anthology for 1953; the Antioch Review Anthology; the current Random House anthology, Midland; The Year’s Greatest Fantasy and Science - Fiction of 1956; and Prize Stories of 1957: The O. Henry Awards.
Aspiring Chemist
Professor Marsh recalled that
he altered his career many times before he landed on writing as a vocal'°n. As a boy in
Oakland he aspired to be a chemist.
By the time he was a student at Chico State College, however, he was working his way through school playing trumpet and trombone in a dance band.
Then, in an effort to kill time between air raids in the South Pacific during World War II, he began to read inspirational
types of books. One, Jack Wood-eventually led him writing.
His first try at this new pastime was a short story called “Is It Cold Helen?” The instantaneous rejection of this story by Collar’s convinced the new author he was destined to be a writer.
Lost It All
His first tangible reward was received for a piem that he sold to Weird Tales magazine for S3. Dazed by success in h i s newfound career, he entered into a poker game and promptly lost $50.
Shortly after he got out of the service, Professor Marsh moved to Mexico and became a freelance writer for six years. In many of his subsequent stories he has used Mexican backgrounds.
Short Cuts
Professor M a r ~ h graduated from the University of Iowa with a bachelor’s degree in 1959 and a master’s degree in 1960. Before coming'to USC he taught at Wintrop, a women’s college in Rock Hill, S.C.
At USC he is teaching fiction and poetry workshops and a class in American and British literature.
In giving advice to budding writers. Professor Marsh said he does not advocate any set pattern. because “a person cannot be taught to write, ford’s “How to Write a Novel,”
“But,” he quickly a<fded, ‘‘he can certainly be taught short cuts.”
A “Books for Asian Students” drive, sponsored by the Greater University Committee, will begin on campus today and will run through the remainder of the week.
Books will be collected in ASSC President Hugh Helm's office, 324 SU, between 1 and 5 p.m., drive chairman Don Benjamin announced Friday.
“Drives of this type were initiated in the United States seven years ago to increase Asian universities’ supply of English reference books,” Benjamin reported.
USCs drive is being held in conjunction with the national Asia Foundation's “more books” project.
Urgent Appeal
“Our appeal for books this year is perhaps more urgent than those made to you in years before,” Asia Foundation President Robert Blum wrote the univex-sity recently.
“Both government and privat8 institutions in Asian countries look to the Asia Foundation for book and journal aid,” he continued. “Requests, ranging from a few titles for particular reference needs to substantial collections for new and expanding libraries, have increased.”
The drive, Blum noted, may even serve to shorten the gap of uncertainty between Asia and the West.
During the 1960-61 drive, students attending 180 colleges and universities throughout the nation contributed more than
625.000	books and journals.
1&54 Start
Since its inception in 1954, the Books for Asian Students program has received and distributed more than two and-a-half million books and journals to
5.000	Asian institutions.
Several hundred copies of business and economic texts that were recently sent by the program to Pakistan have been adopted in that country as required college texts.
The Greater University Committee is headed by Bev Wilson.
Prize-Winning Drama To Show Man s Plight
The plight of a man stripped of all his worldly possessions will be presented tomorrow night at 8:30 when the USC production of Archibald MacLeish’s “J.B.” opens for a five-day run in the Student Union Lounge.
'Tickets are still available for the play in the drama office, 3709 S. Hoover St., for $1.50 and $2. or for 50 cents for students with activity books.
A modern comment on the Book cf Job, the play will be presented in theater-in-the-round fashion. The “all around” action is symbolic of the misery which is all around us, William C. White, drama lecturer, said.
“Even the stage is shaped round and is on a rake to show that the world is topsy-turvey,” he said.
The play is a dramatization of sadness, bitterness and the desperation of mankind which, like J.B., we cannot escape, White commented.
In this modern morality play,
a Pulitzer Prize wmner of 1959, J.B. is the man who has everything — wife, children, home, security, health. In other words, he is sitting on top of the world, White explained.
“The devil bets God that J.B. only loves the deity because he is well off. Stripped he would curse God. But of course he never does,” White noted.
“Fate begins to take all of J.B.’s assets away, one by one,” he continued. “This is a modem fate however — auto crashes and bomb explosions.”
J.B. asks what he has done to deserve such punishment. White noted. His conclusion is that the only answer to fate is “We are . . . that is our only answer. We are, and what we are we can suffer.”
In the end, love kills any bitterness that may exist and J.B. is still devoted to God. God triumphs over evil and J.B. is restored in mind and body by love, White said.
Space to Get Deep Probe, Expert Says
The engineering graduate of 1966 to 1968 will be involved in probing the deep space even beyond Mars and Venus.
This prediction came Saturday from Norman V. Petersen, chief of the Astro-Sciences Group for Norair (Northrop Corp.), when he addressed more than 1,000 high school and junior college students attending an Institute on Engineering Education hosted by the School of Engineering.
Manned Ships
Deep space exploration of the future, Petersen said, may be made from an orbiting Cape Canaveral-type facility which will serve as an adjunct to the ground base in Florida.
The proposed space base, the Norair scientist told the students. would provide for orbital assembly and launching of manned lunar and interplanetary vehicles.
“Development and extension of such a facility will significantly increase capacity for deep space exploration beyond Mars and Venus. Many engineering graduates of 1966 to 1968 may be involved in it,” Petersen said.
Founder, Editor
A native of West Branch, Iowa. Petersen received his bachelor’s and master's degrees in mechanical engineering from the State University of Iowa.
A founding member of the American Astronautical Society and a past president of that organization, Petersen is the founder and editor of the Astro-nautical Sciences Review.
