Beer Nixed By Chaplain
Chaplain Clinton A. Neyman voiced a resounding "no" to the que>tion of on-campus beer sales Friday, as members of the committee currently investigating ihe possibility of selling the golden brew at SC disclosed that Chairman Mike Thompson was actually a minor.
At the same time. Stan Arkin. senator-at-large and sponsor of ihp "on famous beer sales” resolution. made a fiery denounci-ation x>f Student Body President Scotl Fitz Randolph's appointment of Thompson to chairmanship of the “beer busters.”
\o Experience Arkin declared that “Thompson was not the best choice because he has had no experience and is only a new nonvoting senator. There are señal ors on the committee and it
would have been “usual and correct io have appointed one of them.”
Arkin evaluated Fitz Randolph's move as one that was done “vaguelv and surreptious-
ly"
He also asserted “ihere are more members than necessary on the committee.”
Arkin Supporter Supporting Arkin's opposition. Wallv Karabian. fellow senator and "beer buster” member, stated “I feel that Daily Trojan Editor Jim Eyhn.” also a committee member, “would have been by far the best choice.”
"In addition, it seems rather ridiculous to have someone in charge of a beer-investigating committee who isn't even old
enough to buy some if it were served on-campus,” he said.
One more voice was added to the rest when Friday morning's Los Angeles Examiner devoted a front page story to the great beer debate.	,

Moritz To Tell Thackeray s Virginian Plot
William Makepeace Thackeray's “The Virginians” will be discussed by Kennett Moritz, instructor in English, during today's noon reading at 12:30 in 133 FH.
As the third speaker in this semester's series of noon read- | ings, Moritz will describe the plot, structure and background Thackeray employed in this work.
Contrasts Corruption
“Although better known for his ‘Vanity Fair.’ Thackeray relates in The Virginians’ the contrast between new world innocence and old world corruption in the story of two brothers who fight on different sides in the Revolutionary War,’* Moritz said.
The novel's plot tells of Georce and Harry Washington, one an American and the other an Englander. When Harry, called the “Fortunate Youth” by Thackeray, comes from Virginia to meet his English relations. he is fleeced unmercifully and cunningly trapped into an impossible match with a spinster twice his ace.
Domestic Dramatisation
Moritz pointed out that the author’s forte is the “dramatization of domestic tensions, ma-neuverings and gamemanship that constitute life. He has a shrewd eye for the real motives in a situation." Thackeray also saw In life the importance of Hie cash motive in many of man s affairs.
Historically, however, the ?u-1hor falls short of rendering true such nerson?>'tics as George
Washington General Washington's portrait. Moritz believes, is stiff and unconvincing.
“One of the most interesting parts of this work to be d’s-rMssed." Moritz Vxnlaincd. “is Thackeray's nrophetic genius for predicting thr' larger involvement ol America in world affairs that w?s not to ccme until after h’s death ”
Freshman Class Elects Officials
Three additional freshman class officers were elected Thursday night at a class council dinner meeting at ihe Sigma Chi fraternity house.
Elected officers wei-e Dale Anderson secretary: Dick Martin. treasurer and Vivian von Hagen, historian.
President Chuck Everett and vice president Hyla Holmes appointed lievei l> Hates pjiiii-iiientarian and made Don i.¡n2, Sallv Suuer. Nancy Deutz, lVib Kendall, and Charlotte Hawkins, officers on ihe executive committee.
The campaign to reach Troy Chest's $3000 goal swings into high gear this week as "round robins,” pie throws, class collections and a Mr. Trojanality contest fill out fund raising activities.
Probably the least known fund raising activity is that of the round robin, used exclusively by the fraternities in laising funds.
Auction Swats
When a member of a house is fined at the dinner table for misbehavior, he refuses to pay his fine and is “auctioned off to the highest bidder for a swat.
Ttle fraternities have be'en very successful in fund raising j through this procedure, with one pledge class — which includes j football players Marlin and ' Mike McKeever—“buying” actives for as high as S6.
Throw Pies Wednesday and Thursday’s pie ; throw' will be held in front of the Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity house. The pies will be auctioned off to sorority and fraternity members.
Sororities and women's dormitories also have put up candidates for the Mr. Trojanality contest. Each vote is sold for j five cents.
Mr. Trojanality Seventeen candidates are in the running for Mr. Trojanality | this year. Last year Australian swimmer. Murray Rose, was the winner of the contest. The year before ice cream man Herman j Nathan won as the major candidates swung their votes to ‘‘put Herman in office.”
Class room collections will j also begin this week in hopes of ! getting S2000. The gold “immunization” buttons are being «old for SI each with a goal of ; $2000 on the project also. Last | vear more than 1200 buttons were sold.
^n addition, donations boxes I have been placed in the Grill and local stores.
Charity Fund The fund helps support the Red Cross. YWCA, Woild Uni- j versity Service. Community ; Chest, annual Christmas Show and the Living War Memorial Scholarship.
The Living War Memorial Scholarship provides a scholarship for the son or daughter of ; a serviceman who was killed in action in World War II. It was originated by Trovets.
Music Grant Aids Schools
Dr. Ralph E. Rush, head of the department of music education, has been appointed to a commit- ; tee which will shape the future of secondary school music programs and young composers.
The program now taking place is being sponsored by a grant of F200.000 from the Ford Foundation.
The committee is composed of seven members who will select 25 communities which have displayed outstanding high school musical curricula. The commit- i tee will then choose 25 composers and one will be placed in each of the 25 communities selected by Dr. Rush’s committee. 1 The composers will write music specifically for the school systems that they are appointed to serve.
“Too few of our young composers are given the challenge and opportunity of establishing themselves in communities which value their abilities as composers.” said Dr. Howard Hanson, president of the National Music Council.
“By finding school systems w’hich have composers washing to write music for their owii Students, the musical life of the community should .be enriched and ihe repertory of secondary school music will be expanded,” he said.

HISTORICAL MELODIES — Johnny Green, last year's Songfest guest conductor, directs the SC concert orchestra in a series of Songfest melodies. Jim Hopkins, SC
Daily Trojan Photo music major, has written a musical history of Songfest Sweepstakes victories for this year's Songfest. It will be played as an overture this year.
Student Writes Songfest Score; To Be Overture at Annual Event
By JOE JAKES Daily Trojan Managing Editor
A history of Songfest written in music instead of words — a compilation of all the past Sweepstakes winners—has been composed by music major Jim Hopkins and will be used for the show's overture. Saturday night. May 16.
The best numbers from each of the five past Sweepstakes-winning entries since the show started in 1954 have been used, according to Hopkins, and should “call up some wonderful memories.”
Trojan Overture The overture will be played by the Trojan Symphonic Rand under the baton of William Schaefer.
Almost a history of Songfest in themselves, here are the numbers to be used in the overture: (1) “Oh By Jingo'’ from the entry of the same name back in 1954. when the first Songfest was held in the Greek Theater. It was sung in Novelty Division bv Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha. That year, Dr. Bernard L. Hyink, then the dean of students, was official host.
,	(2) "Pinones (Pine-Nut
Song»" from the Kappa's Women's Small entry, the Kappa Kappa Gamma Quartet. That year, 1955, witnessed the first guest conductor, Walter Schumann. Chancellor Rufus V. von | KleinSmid was official host.
(3) “Bonnie Jean,” “Come To Me, Bend To Me” and “Briga-doon” from the “Brigadoon” Mixed entry of Sigma Phi Epsilon and Kappa (again) in 1956. Dr. Albert S. Raubenheimer was official host, and famous band-leader-compser Gordon Jenkins was guest conductor.
My Fair Trojan Í4) “On The Street Where You Live” and “I Could Have Danced All Night” from the Mixed "My Fair Lady” entry of Sig Ep and Tri-Delt in 1957.
Dr. Robert Gordon and Nelson Riddle were official host and guest conductor for the first Songfest held in the mammoth Hollywood Bowl.
(5) “Zip-Adee-Doo-Dah” and “When You Wish Upon a Star” from Phi Psi and Tri-Delt’s “Disneyland Medley” in 1958. the second year in the Bowl. Robert Craig, famous California
Lockley Warns Of Tax Tidal Wave'
With the tide of the recession just over the hill, Americans may soon be faced with a tidal wave of excessive taxation says Dr. Law’rence C. Lockley, dean of SC's commerce school, in his Marcn Economic News Letter.
At present, business is good on the whole, but Dr. Lockley feels that this is the lull before a storm — a storm that stems from a steady advance in the costs of state and local government. resulting in higher and higher taxes.
The problem may not be so far off as many optimistic legislators would prefer. Dr. Lockley names three states that are contemplating introducing stale personal income taxes and six others — including California— that are thinking of increasing their already existing personal income taxes.
Tax Burden
He noted that Michigan, Oregon and New York were particularly having trouble meeting the tax burden. When a state with Rockefeller for govfcnor has a financial crisis, what can become of the rest of the nation? Dr. Lockley asks.
Dr. Lockley reduces the entire problem to a simple ratio: "As the necessary scope of government grow's, the cost of performing that greater volume of governmental business increases.”
Consequently, “a part of the increase in cost of government is unavoidable” and “we must accept taxes, whether we enjoy them or not,” he says.
Citizens ‘Don’ts*
Advocating a stoical outlook on taxes. Dr. Lockley lists several “donts" for the American citizenry. “We are not interested in any attempts to turn the clock back to the day when taxes were negligible. Nor are we interested in such evidences of wishful thinking as the bill recently introduced to repeal the personal income tax, nor plans to pay all public expenses with
the proceeds of one single tax.” He also warned against a return to the price system to solve Ihe problems. Dr. Lockley believes the United States has “gone too far down the road of public action to return quickly or easily to individualism in its simple form.”
In short, when you’re seven runs down in the ninth inning, it is not the time to remove your best hitter because he made the error that started the ooposition off on their scoring splurge, he declared.
Taxes Ahead
Although Dr. Lockley admits that some government activities could be discontinued without serious loss, the gains would not be significant enough to counteract the “steady ground swell of taxes ahead of us.”
'Dr. Lockley names two chief causes behind the current tax rise, the slow and steady upswing of state and local taxes and unfair distribution among the various income groups.
As the public concern was centered on the federal taxes, state and local governments have slowly raised their tax demands to the point where they are now about 60 oer cent of the revenue of the federal government.
Big Fear
Dr. Lockley fears that it may not be long before “we’ll find out that state and local governments are costing as much as our federal government.”
Tending to overlook the rise in non-federal laxes, the public pays for the costs of education, highways, public welfare, health and hospitals, police and fire portection. sanitation, housing, courts, and conservation all with Ihe funds of state and local agencies, he says.
Dr. Lockley stresses the fact that our taxes are based on the theory that “the daily wage earner -should pay a minimum share of our tax bill.”
Republican and expert on business law, did the hosting, with
Les Baxter doing the guest conducting.
Before Hopkins’ work could he officiallv accepted for the big all-student show, Songfest Chairman Jim Stewart, had to write five song publishers for clearance. All five—Chappel, Bourne, Sam J. Fox. Joy and Broadway —gave permission.
Hopkins, a junior majoring in composition, is music coordinator on the Songfest Executive Committee. His big dream is to become a composer of music for the cinema, a la Dimitri Tiomp-kin and Miklos Rossa. This semester he’s taking a class from the Academy Award-winning Rosza, who scored “Quo Vadis” and is currently at work on the musical background for "Ben Hur.”
Entries Deadline
In addition to the overture innovation, chairman Stewart announced that entries are open only to March 17. Thirty entries are in so far.
"Rehearsals should start this week,” said Stéwart. “Members of the Songfest Committee will be available to help out any group that needs it.”
Preliminaries for Songfest are scheduled for April 8 and 9.

| New Process Will Locate All Jaw Fractures
Dr. Marsh Robinson, head of the department of oral surgery, has developed a new and simple technique for detecting and locating jaw fractures “by ear.” Its greatest value comes when there is no time for X-rays. This type of examination diagnoses the trouble depending on a fracture's properties as a conductor of sound.
Special Test
It is called the “ausculation-percussion” test. A stethoscope is placed firmly over the symphysis. the juncture of the two halves of the lower jaw. at the chin and the patient is asked to hold it. The doctor then uses hands to “percuss’ or tap
the jaw.
If a fracture is present, thp resulting sound will be a dull one since a broken bone does not transmit sound as well as dense or unbroken bone.

University of Mexico Students Solidify SC-Mexican Inter-Cultural Relations
Two representatives from the University of Mexico visited SC Friday to create better relations between the U.S. and their country.
Alberto Briceno and Jorge Kawage Gastine, students at the University of Mexico Law School, explained that they are planning to initiate an inter-cultural group called “Friends of the United States.”
Pictorial Exhibit
With the backing of their government and our State Department, the University of Mexico j is sending a 30-picture exhibit i showing life in that country and at their university. The j exhibit will include samples of native pottery and more than 200 hooks, some of which will be given to SC as gifts.
In addition, American students will be invited to attend the University of Mexico and live with families of students in that country. 'Fiestas and various tours will be scheduled. Summer Classes
Both representatives said this is possible because their university holds classes while SC is on summer vacation due to the seasonal difference between the two countries.
SC participation in this U.S.-wide program will be directed by the Senate and the International Students Association under Isaias Medina Serfaty. As International Student?! Representative he was unofficial host to SC’s guests.
