CREEK RELAY FINALS
Four Houses to Battle
Phi Kappa Psi, Kappa Sigma, Kappa Alpha and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternities will compete in the finals of the Greek Relays today at 2 p.m. on the Row.
The four entrants in the fraternity relay finals were determined yesterday in the preliminary heats. Selection was on a time basis, with Phi Kappa Psi posting the top mark of 1:03.9.
Kappa Sigma was second with 1:04.2, Kappa Alpha was a tenth of a second behind with 1:04.3 and Sigma Phi Epsilon was fourth with 1:05.0.
Other Greek Activities
The Greek Relays are a part of Greek Week activities, which will also feature a Grecian Ball tomorrow night from 8 to 12 midnight in the ballroom of the International Hotel.
Activity on the Row will begin this afternoon at 2 p.m. with the sorority gunnysack race on the lawn of the Alpha Delta Pi house.
The fraternity relay finals will follow on 28th Street between University Avenue and Figueroa Street.
The sorority suitcase relay will be run last.
Women in the suitcase relay will be required to wear men’s clothing over their own. They must take off the men’s clothes and pack their suitcases before passing them on to their teammates.
Delta Gamma is the defending champion of the suitcase relay. Sigma Chi was the winner of last year’s fraternity relay rnce. The gunnysack race is new this year.
Defending champion Sigma Chi ran the course today in 1:05.0, but was disqualified for passing the baton too far out on the first pass in front of the KA house.
Numerous protests were lodged by the brothers of Sigma Chi, who felt that an injustice had been done to their fraternity.
“Look, this race is a big thing with us,” a Sigma Chi pleaded.
“After all,” added another, “we also dropped the baton. If we hadn’t dropped the baton, we would have the best time here. Why, that would have knocked two whole seconds off our time.”
. Despite their pleading Sigma Chi remains disqualified.
Impromptu Race
About 100 row residents witnessed the preliminary relay races which were interrupted by a momentary, impromptu motorcycle race.
The prelims were run from University Avenue to the Kappa Alpha house; the second leg was made from the KA house to Woody’s; the third leg from Woody’s to the KA house and finally from the KA house back to University Avenue.
A street dance climaxed yesterday’s Greek Week activities. The Parleys played at the event held on the Row.
Trophies for the relays will be given at the Grecian Ball Friday night.

Betinis Resigns Position As Convention Chairman
IR Panel
Questions
Clergymen
By CHUCK CONYERS
Three representatives of campus religion last night tried to convince members of Sigma Gamma Sigma, international relations sorority, that U. S. missionaries do not forcibly impose the Ju-deo-Christian ethic upon their charges.
Panel members for the discussion in the YWCA included Charles Doak, campus Presbyterian pastor; Milton R. Hughes, director of the Southern Baptist-sponsored Baptist Student Union; and Ben L. Cohen, director of the B’nai B'rith Hillel Foundation on campus.
Mission Defended
Tne principal discussion began after Rev. Mr. Hughes stated his belief that Christian mission enterprises have won friends for the United States. He added that several young nations have gained responsibility and sovereignty through mission upbringing and education.
When the importance of contemporary missions in foreign societies was challenged, Rev. Mr. Hughes admitted the place of such outposts has changed because of post World War II anticolonialism feelings abroad.
“Now missionaries are there as advisers while nationals do the work. The job of a missionary is now to work himself out of a job,” Rev. Mr. Hughes said.
He was then asked if missionaries force Western tradition upon their flock.
Give Peace “They try not to force Western tradition upon people but to give them the peace of God. Missionaries teach religion but also try to teach English and reading. The missionary does not think his way is the only way as far as the cultural customs go,” he replied.
One sorority member argued that missionaries try to bring the Judeo - Christian ethic of Western civilization to the countries rather than accepting their ethics.
“I would say that most missionaries try to share their way of thinking. They give the people the chance to accept or reject their beliefs,” he said.

New Study System Can Save Time
Students who feel pressured by a constant lack of time to accomplish all their goals might find their tension unnecessary if they adopt the study system of Marcel Bolomet, former USC scholastic advisor and French lecturer.
Gamma Phis Test
Bolomet is currently trying out his system with Gamma Phi Beta sorority.
The purpose behind his method is to help students organize their time and discover their potentials. He wants them to clearly see their goals for the future, to decide what type of person they want to be and from this step work toward successfully accomplishing their well-marked ideals.
Construct Chart
The mechanics of his system begin with constructing a chart containing 24 slots on one side and the days of the week on the adjoining side. At the beginning of the week the student plots the use of the entire 168 hours in the week. He indicates thei time devoted to individual studies, social activities, conferring with friends and all other actions for 24 hours. The insertions should be written in pencil so the time allotted for one event can be interchanged with another on, that same day.
As a result the student is able to account for each hour of his time and see how much free time he has.
According to Bolomet, the student becomes the master of his time rather than its slave when he has some knowledge of how his time b spent.

Assembly to Hear Justice Goldberg
Supreme Court Associate Justice Arthur Goldberg will address a religious convocation at 2 p.m. Tuesday in Bovard Auditorium, University Chaplain John Cantelon announced yesterday.
Justice Goldberg, representing the Jewish faith, will be the second of three religious speakers this year. He will follow Father Adrian Von Kaam, a leading Catholic educator from Pittsburg's Duquesne University, who spoke last semester.
Justice Goldberg will also talk informally with students about the Peace Corps at 11 a.m. in the YWCA and will speak to the Faculty Club at noon in Town and Gowti.
His visit is sponsored by the chaplain's office in conjunction with the Arthur S. Wolpe B'nai B’rith Hillel Memorial Fund, the B'nai
B'rith Hillel Foundation and the Cultural Events Committee.
Justice Goldberg received a BS in law and a PhD in jurisprudence from Northwestern University.
He was editor-in-chief of the Illinois Law Review and began private law practice in 1929.
Appointed general consul for the Congress of Industrial Organizations in 1948, Justice Goldberg served as general consul for the industrial union department of the AFL-CIO from 1955 to 1961.
In 1961 President John F. Kennedy appointed him Secretary of Labor. He held this post until his appointment as associate justice of the Supreme Court on Aag- 29. 1962.
Justice Goldberg has published numerous articles and is author of the book “AFL-CIO: Labor United.”
Dr. Eleanor Metheny, physical education professor, delighted faculty members yesterday with a light but instructive speech on how college professors may quietly relieve their tensions through appropriate physical exercises.
Speaking on the topic “Enjoy Your Tensions,” Dr. Metheny, author and world traveler, addressed an audience of approximately 150 professors and guests at the noon faculty luncheon.
Dr. Metheny's demonstra-i tion of the “silent scream” technique of relieving anxieties brought more than silent laughter from her audience.
Emphasizing that the “scream” should be saved for emergencies, Dr. Metheny suggested that for smaller, more everyday frustrations, one might find the “drop your jaw” approach more convenient.
This method, explained Dr. Metheny, involves “looking like an idiot.” She asked the
audience to try it, producing loud laughter in the room.
For professors suffering from insomnia. Dr. Metheny offered an original yawn producing exercise labeled the “sleep maker.”
She also advocated that if each of her methods is followed simultaneously, one does not have enough time to think about his problems.
“I'm the only professor who puts her class to sleep on purpose,” Dr. Metheny said.
After Dr. Metheny's talk,' Dr. Edwin C. Robbins, president of the Faculty Center Association, announced the appointment of Dr. Tillman J.! Hall, physical education pro-: fessor, to the post of program chairman for the spring semester.
Arthur J. Goldberg, associate justice of the Supreme Court, will be guest speaker at next week's meeting. Members of the faculty planning to attend are urged to make reservations early.
