Co-existence with Russia is possible only as long as the United States has military power equal to that of the Soviet Union, a faculty expert on Soviet affairs said yesterday.
Dr. Roger Swearingen, associate professor of history, expressed the view in a panel discussion on “Russia and Co-Existence.” the second in the current
“Education for What?” series.
Also participating in the discussion were Dr. Theodore H. E. Chen, professor of Asiatic studies, and Mohinder Bedi. international relations graduate student and authority on Indian diplomacy.
Soviet Counter
Swearingen went on to say that military might is not the best answer to the problem of co-existence, however. “In addition,” he said, “we must use economic aid and information services to counter the Soviet inia-tive.”
Bedi, recommending changes in U. S. policy to ease conflict between this country and the U. S. S. R., called the present United States foreign policy “inflexible.” He also called for mutual understanding of intentions.
“If we are to co-exist at all.
and I see no alternatives, then we must understand each other’s policies.” He went on to say that lately there has been an unreadiness on the part of the U.S. to bargain. One reason, hf' admitted was the Soviet record of duplicity.
Decoying Orders
Another criticism of this country’s foreign policies voiced b\ Bedi was “U.S. support of decaying orders. Some of the orders the Soviets want to overthrow need to be overthrown,” he said.
But we should replace decaying institutions such as outworn monarchies and other practices of backward nations, without havin<T the Soviets do it for us. he said.
He scored the U.S. tendency to be conservative about such matters. “What is communist is always communist, but what is non-communist is not always j free.”
Dr. Chen also offered a more elastic attitude as a way to keep abreast of the Reds. “We should come out in favor of change before the communists get there. We seem to be holding back i simplv because the communists propose the reforms.
¡Robb,Peterson In SCope Panel
Dr. J. Wesley Robb, chairman of the SC religion department, and Dr. James A. Peterson, marriage counselor and associate professor of sociology, will open the third day of SC's intellectual emphasis week with a discussion of “Adult Values-Today and Tomorrow’* todav at 3:15 in 229 FH.
Tonight Dr. Frank C. Baxter, English professor, will attempt an inventory of the American culture in 1959 in his speech "Culture in Modern Society” at
7 in 229 FH.
Dr. Robb received his masters and doctor's degrees at SC. Before teaching at SC he was philosophy and religion professor at Dickenson College. Carlisle. Penn. His war record includes serving as chaplain in the Na\y during World War I and a return to active duty during the Korean conflict. In 1951 he was a‘Fellow of the Fund frir Advancement of Education of the Ford Foundation and did his research in the field of philosophy of religion.
This evening the merits and defects of the American culture will be pointed out by Dr. Baxter.

Orsborn Changes Political Ambition
Gordon Orsborn declared yes-teidav he would drop out of the senior class presidential race to pledge his support to fellow candidate Earl Kelley and to become campaign manager for Tim Clark, yell king candidate.
With Orsborn withdrawing from the race. Kellev and Dayle Barnes remain as the only senior class presidential candidates.
Clark is running for yell king against Jerry Sherman and Chuck Phillips. Orsborn said he felt thal he could serve the student body more effectively as Clark's campaign manager.
“By withdrawing from the current election as a candidate.”
' Orsborn said. “I can not only give my full support to Clark's yell king campaign, but I can throw any of my prospective votes over to Kelley.”
Orsborn said that he felt Kelley to be the most qualified of the two remaining candidates and . said that “by running against him I might have hurt his chances for winning.”
A junior in industrial design. Orsborn claimed that he felt he was still in the midst of the ASSC elections.
“I think being a campaign manager will be a lot more work than being a candidate,” he 1 smiled.

The deft, nimble fingers of the
SC Dental School graduate who
fills a cavity or pulls a molar are also the fingers of a sculptor who has carved an ingenuous wax miniature long before picking up a drill.
As a measure of manual dexterity, freshman dental students are given a piece of hard, cream-colored wax, a pocket knife, sev-eial carving instruments and about 10 hours with which to create an original, detailed miniature.
Besides serving as an accurate index of digital skill, the finished objects comprise a unique wax museum.
Since he originated the carving test in 1929, William P. Harrison. teacher of denial anatomy, has collected more than 2000 of the miniature wax figures.
Carved from tiny cylindrical pieces of caranuba wax only 1 inch high and % of an inch wide, the finished products range from
musical instruments to space ships.
Each future dentist or dental hygenist is supplied with several pieces of the wax, whose hard composition prevents molding or fusing.
During the first period of the test the students are permitted to view Dr. Harrision's collection of carvings from previous classes.
“As they inspect these carvings they are told that since originality is one of the qualifications of the test, the carvings are shown not as models but rather as examples of what other classes have accomplished,” Dr. Harrison explained.
In answering questions of “what to carve,” Dr. Harrison suggests that a former occupation, hobby, special interest, thought or experience might offer an inspiration.
“It is stressed that no copy models are to be used since the carving must be created from a
mental pattern and the size of the finished carving is to be limited to the dimensions of the wax cylinder,” he said.
A movable printing press, a golfer preparing for a hole-in-one, a Chinese coolie pulling a rickshaw and an Army medic carrying a wounded soldier are among the many miniatures which creative students have fashioned.
When the class completes the carvings, 1hey view them as a group for comparison and evaluation. These results are at no time used as reference for future grading.
“Results are not used as conclusive evidence of aptitude until four years later or upon the student's graduation, when completed records of all grades are available for comparative anal-I ysis,” Dr. Harrision explained.

the show is the u~e of abstraction in ltiott of i lie work ranging from Hi-3 paintings, di a wings end prints to the sculpture and design in the ccianucs.
“Masks and Mirrors” is the title of a series of oil paintings by Toni McElrath. Vague impressions of people done predominately in reds, blues and greens are composed in her paintings. Two oi the works a monocrumatic in reds of two figures — seemed to stand out Iron« tin rest ot her paintings.
Mort Baranoff, showing seven prints illustrating the creative process in printmaking, has three interesting pictures in his group. “Sailing to Byzantium.” “Night over New Port” and “Coastal Interlude” are outstanding abstractions done in black and while.
Delicate lines and vibrating movement characterize the 10 prints by Iledwig Brenner. “Freeway Images,” the title of
the series of prints, prove to be ! exciting in their minute detail done in black and white.
The theme, “The Lamentation III,” has been used by Marvin Saltzman in his contribution to the show. Two huge oils done in ; thick brilliant colors, meetly oranges, blacks and greens accent the vague images in his work. Saltzman has also used his theme in four prints expertly created.
Robert Gore has, with four oils and two drawings made a scarch for the female image. The most interesting painting of tne group is an obscure nude I done in blacks, browns and some red. The paint has a “runny” i quality which creates a mood to j the picture. One of ihe dravv-(Continued ou Taj;e 2)
The ASSC Senate may make its final decision on beer sales on campus when it meets tonight at 8. President Scott Fitz Randolph said yesterday.
Fitz Randolph said he has “new light to shed” on the longstanding beer proposal after talking to University President Norman Topping and Financial Vice President Earl C. Bolton.
“I will give the Senate the administrations general views on the subject of on-campus beer,” he said. “We have not been told we can’t have beer, but if we do, we must do it in the right way.”
The ASSC Preident comment-: ed that the Senate didn't say how or when it wanted the sale of beer when it was first proposed. He noted that the University of Wisconsin, which has beer on campus, doesn't sell it until after 5 p.m.
Fitz Randolph will present these facts to the Senate tonight when he reveals the results of his consultation with the administration.
Also slated for Senate consideration is a report by the Student Tutorial committee, headed by Harold Fong, independent men’s representative.
Fong said yesterday that his committee is working to form “a unified tutorial program,” for SC, including standard rates and opportunity for positions as tutors for both undergraduates and graduates.
“Chemistry, man and civ, and other required courses have definitely shown a need lor tutors,” he said. “The proposal will mainly help incoming people next fall, he said.
Other Senate action will con-C2rn a report on the bookstore pricing inquiry and one of a proposed Living Group Council. Vice President Mardythe O’Ma-ra will present legislation affecting cla=s councils.
The Senate will meet at 8 p.m. rather than at 7 as had been announced. Members will attend
I a SCope program featuring Dr.
Frank Baxter on “Culture in I the Modern Society” before the meeting. The program is slated for 229 FH.
Also on the agenda for tonight's Senate is the appointment of next year’s homecoming chairman. Fitz Randolph will appoint the new chairman, who will succeed Willie Chong in the position.

After a short physical exami- | j nation, the coed was led to a I table where she was told by the Red Cross volunteer worker to lay down and relax.
The coed lay down with eyes staring at the ceiling, while the i nurse adjusted the needle which I would soon extract one pint of dark red fluid which would later become a life saving material.
Painless Experience The coed lav in silence and | after a few painless moments, it was all over. She was then helped up and was led to another table where other blood donors I were busily talking and laugh-| ing over a glas« of orange juice and cookies — the1- reward for saving someone's life.
From now until Friday, SC is conducting its annual blood drive. Once again SC is ehal-i lenging UCLA for the blood do- I nating title. More than 1000; nints were collected from the UCLA drive a month ago.
Lead UCLA SC’s totals from yesterday. ! the first day of the campaign following a week of signing un. added up to 130 pints—20 pints ■ less than UCLA collected the j first da'\ More than 1”0 pints \ are needed tomorrow to keep in the cross-town race.
Bill Steigerwalt, chairman of the greater University Committee. which is sponsoring the drive, emphasized the fact that if a student did not si<zn up during the formal pledging period, he may still do so. Students who sign un from now till Friday w>Il not need anv appointment to give blood. Sign-un booths arc now located in front of the Student Union and also in the basement of the Methodist Church, where the blood drive is being conducted.
All-U Contest Tn the all-university contest, where certain camous groups are being given trophies for donating the most blood. Tau Epsilon Phi and Theta Xi are leading the fraternitv race, and Alpha Phi and Delta Delta Delta are the ton sorority donors.
One interesting note that Ste-icrerwalt pointed out after the first d^v of donations, is that SC cocds are outnumbering the men in eenerositv by a large ratio. “Either the men are not interested or thev’re n°t showing their masculinity.” Steigerwalt sa’d. “We hope thev will get behind this dnve as much as the women have.”
