Asian Cites Study Shift Of Filipinos
The development of an agro industrial economy in the Philippine Islands has caused a shift in the educational emphasis of that country, a USC alumnus and professor at the University of the Philippines said here yesterday.
Dr. Pedro L. Baldoria. who received his PhD. in international relations from USC in 1941, told the Daily Trojan that Filipino students are taking an increasing number of courses in agriculture and mining.
“There has also been a significant growth in vocational and agricultural schools,” he said.
In the professional areas. Dr. Baldoria noted that women primarily major in pharmacy and dentistry.
Dr. Bald«ria explained that the University of the Philippines, with a student body of 15,000 is supported by $10 million in state funds per year. Students are granted entrance if they have an 85 percent av erage from senior high school or if they pass an entranee ex-
and Thorpe won over Occidental College to move into the first-place spot, while Taylor and Moes trounced Pacfic Lutheran to cop first place hor ors.
In individual events, four debaters stepped into the winner's circle. In senior women’s’ interpetative speaking Linda Frye took first place, while John Deacon landed in first place in senior men’s interpetative speaking.
In impromptu competition BrownjTi Anthony garnered the number one award, while Lacy Sparks took first in ex-temporaneoius speaking.
Dr. James H. McBath, director of forensics, praised USC’s tournament sweep as an important achievement.
Sweep
“The debate sweep this year probably the best ever achieved by USC speakers participating in the Western States Tournament,” he said. “And it certainly reflects the team work and quality performance of the entire group.
“Our first place tie in debate is something to talk about,” Dr. McBath said. “It’s the first time I know of that two teams from the same school emerged to tie for finals Li that particular division.”
Among other honors garnered by the squad in the weekend speech competition was a fourth place win in senior women’s interpretative speaking by Sharon Kathol. Charles Marson took third place honors in junior men’s extemporaneous speaking.
In debate, the Misses Sparks and Anthony reached the quarter finals, while the Deacon-Marson team were stopped in preliminary rounds in junior division. '
The squad’s next major tournament competition will be held in Albuquerque, N. M., this weekend.
said recently.
Speaking to a group of ministers at the Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Va., Dean Hurst cited three chang-e s in church architecture which would be adaptive to contemporary religious worship.
“There should be a spatial rearrangement conducive to worship by the congregation in the Protestant tradition,” he said.
Concepts Fall
He explained that the nave, aisle, transept and chancel concepts have slowly given way to a more “theologically appropriate plan,” but that the present arrangement still makes us more listeners than worshippers.
“Adequate site planning will enable the church to regain preeminence as a worship center and as a community symbol,” he claimed. “A look into history will show hew the ap proach to the temple of Kar nak and the Processional to Westminister Abbey served to focus community life on the church and to set it apart in the physical environment.”
As a final change, Dean Hurst suggested a re-engagement with space, form, color, texture, light and sound as ba sic elements out of which an environment conducive to worship may be formed.
Symbols Die
“Already we have, with justification, thrown out most of the symbols, icons and trap pings which obscured the worship experience in the pre-Reformation Church,” he added.
The architect emphasized that the proposed changes would encourage detachment, contemplation, undivided participation in the sacraments and joy of communion and oneness.
Bill of Rights Essay Prizes To Be Given
Contest winners for the Bill of Rights essay contest will be announced this afternoon in celebration of Bill of Rights Week, which began on campus yesterday.
Saving bonds ranging from $25 to $100 will be awarded third, second and first place winners in the Greater University Committee-sponsored essay contest. Contestants wrote on “My Personal Responsibility for Freedom Under the Bill of Rights.”
The winners were selected on the basis of understanding cf the subject and expression of their ideas, Dave Meyer, chairman of Bill of Rights j Week, said.
Panel Discussions
Other activities scheduled j for this week are two panel discussions with USC students and professors. One will be held tomorrow on KUSC-FM and the other Thursday after dinner at EVK hall.
The committee is also planning a rally Friday in front of Tommy Trojan.
Copies of the Bill of Rights have been distributed to all university dormitories and living groups.
This week USC and other universities throughout the nation are observing Bill of Rights Week in honor of 169 years of democracy protected by these amendments.
The theme for this year’s Bill cf Rights Week is “The Great Debate of Our Century: What are the Limits of Federal Power?” Meyer reported.
Communism Fight
“Perhaps the foremost way to oppose Communism is to protect our civil anil religious liberties today,” Meyer said. “As freedom-loving citizens we can be alert to danger — we can sound the alarm when our Bill of Rights is in danger.”
USC will be competing for an over all Bill of Rights Week excellence award, a scholarship of $500 that will ba presented to the college or university whose program reaches the highest number of students and displays the best understanding of individual re-
Chief Cautions Against Slurs'
