"The efforts of the Eastern party professionals will be brought to bear for Xixon,” Dr. Caldwell predicted.
He said Goldwater’s views were stil too conservative for the large city finanical interests who control a considerable number of the convention votes.
“These interests believe that even if Xixon should lose, the former vice president will lend support to the other party candidates who are running fcr Congressional posts.” Dr. Caldwell continued.
Rockefeller Long Shot
In commenting on other GOP possibilities. Dr. Caldwell said Xew York Governor Nelson Rockefeller has never had the backing that many observers had supposed.
“During the last eight years Rockefeller has not been popular with the rank-and-file,” he said.

party professionals will determine the nominee on the basis of who has the best chance of appealing to the public,” he said.
From his personal observation of past elections. Dr. Caldwell believes the American public votes emotionally for an image rather than on the relative qualifications of the candidates.
“The upcoming presidential race will be no more than aj high school election on a national scale,” he said.
The historian ventured that; emotions will play a big role in the outcome of this elec-| tion. especially in the race issue. He cited a simular situation when Harry Truman barely won the 1948 election after losing the South because of his liberal racial views.
Dr. Caldwell said President Kennedy stands a good chance of repeating this incident. as many outspoken Southern political leaders are showing a definite leaning towards the conservative policies of Goldwater.

He said a survey had uncovered no fraternity that “voiced verbal objection” to the Board of Trustee's recent ruling that fraternities and sororities must affirm that they are not being pressured to discriminate by outside forces.
He noted, however, that three of USC's 30 fraternities do have restrictive clauses in their constitutions. He did not reveal which ones.
The study also indicated that discrimination is nonexistent in dormitories, Hull said, explaining that at present 27 Negroes live in men’s dormitories.
Groupings in the dormitories, according to the study, revealed that accommodations are assigned on the basis of specific roommates, specific rooms and age groups.

Natural law, the concept which binds human societies in the absence of institutional law, may not be relevant to those who suffer from its consequences. Dr. Philip Mer-lan, dean of Claremont Men’s College, said yesterday.
Addressing a group of philosophy students and faculty in Mudd Hall, Dr. Merlan based his speech on the assumption that natural law does exist and proceeded to question its relevancy.
Dr. Merlan said natural law wras dependent upon the i individual in its significance. He distinguished especially; between the judge and the judged in human law.
Those w'ho judge, the European philosopher said, use natural law’ to justify their actions of condemnation. Ini this wray, natural law is relevant to them, he said.
The condemned, on the other hand, have no relation i to natural law, Dr Merlan maintained. “Those who are judged do not care whether their punishment is just or not. They care only that they suffer,” he pointed out.
To most criminals. Dr. Merlan said, natural law' is not justice for all, but rather the strong over the wreak, the pow’erful versus the defenseless.
According to such a con-.
cept of superhuman law, the usual criminal does not agree with his judges that his punishment is morally right, he
said.
“But the ultimate justification in inflicting punishment lies in the agreement of those punished,” Dr. Merian contradicted.
If only the judge, and not, both he and the condemned! believe in the justification of punishment, then natural law is irrelevant, he continued.
The only way to make natural law applicable to criminal thought is to convince the convicted that their punishment is just, and that their condemnation is fulfilling the
natural law of justice for all, Dr. Merlan said.
It is only when the criminal has become convinced of his own wrong and the justness of his punishment that natural law is relevant tc institutional or human law. he pointed out.
“Every punishment, to be justifiable, must be self-pu*“ ishment,” Dr. Merlan sahS
Formerly associated with the University of Vienna, Dr. Merlan is a specialist in ancient and medieval philosophy. dealing with such famed scholars as Aristotle. Plato and Epicurus.
He is the author of “Platonism to Neo-Platonism.’*
