Lack of Help May Hamper Poll Workers
Unless more workers volunteer, the Elections Commission will have difficulty in keeping the polls open tomorrow morning, Elections Commissioner Bette Dobkin predicted.
She said only one person has offered to help the qpmmission at the polls during the special election tomorrow and Thursday. Amazons, Spurs, and Phrateres have been asked to contribute helpers.
Mrs. Dobkin also said she has heard several rumors about attempts to fix the election. Although her committee will take precautions to insure an honest election, Mrs. Dobkin hoped they wouldn’t be necessary.
Part of the precautions include counting the ballots by IBM machines to eliminate dishonest tallying of votes. Since the ballots will be machine scored, they must be marked with the special pencils provided at the polls.
Conrad Solum, who reportedly withdrew from the senator-at-large race, is still officially on the ballot until he personally asks to be taken off, Mrs. Dobkin said.
She has been unable to get in touch with Solum who has been out of town.

Philosopher To Speak on Positivism
The impact upon British philosophy by Ludwig Wittgenstein’s logical positivism doctrine will be discussed by Dr. Stephen F. Barker today at 4:15 p.m., in Bowne Hall, MM.
Dr. Barker, instructor in philosophy, is the second lecturer to speak for the weekly Philosophy Forum this semester. After the presentation there will be a half-hour question and discussion period, according to Dr. W. H. Werkmeister, director of the program. The lectures are open to the public.
“Wittgenstein was the moving spirit behind tlie school of logical positivism founded in Vienna, Austria shortly after World War I,” Dr. Werkmeister said. In 1922 he expounded his doctrines by analyzing them in “Tractatus Logi co-Ph ilosophicus. ”
“When Hitler occupied Austria, the members of the school dispersed throughout Europe and the United States,” Dr. Werkmeister said. “Wittgenstein traveled to England and became a lecturer in philosophy at the University of Cambridge.”
In England, Wittgenstein’s writings transformed the entire British school of thought, according to Dr. Werkmeister. He developed the concept that philosophy could be broken down into symbolic form similar to the devices used in mathematical formulas.
“Wittgenstein claimed that philosophy affords on knowledge in itself, Dr. Werkmeister asserts. “He felt it is simply a method for clarifying human thought.”

President To Expose TNE Dirt
TRGers To Hear ASSC Leader Tell Of 4Tong* Politics
ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne has promised to name specific illegal acts of TNE in a keynote address to the TRG general assembly at 3:15 today in the Phi Delta Theta house.
Van Alstyne said he would also discuss sorority affiliation with TNE. He mentioned Alpha Gamma Delta whose member Barbara Frank is running for secretary with SC party support but without party affiliation. (Charges have been made that SC party is controlled by TNE.)
The ASSC president said he “may name a few names” in connection with TNE activities. Blast SC Party TRG Chairman Joe Cerrell predicted that the Van Alstyne speech will be “a blast at the steering committee of the SC party, which has been shown to be th# same as TNE.”
. The keynote speech will also outline political strategy for TRG in this week’s special elections and Van Alstyne will discuss the most effective ways of campaigning. In the speech Van Alstyne will wish personal success to certain candidates.
Van Alstyne pointed out that previous student body presidents have steered clear of school politics because of a feeling they should be neutral.
President’s Obligation Van Alstyne refuted this argument by saying that the president has more of an obligation, the rest of the walls, he said, but because he is president, and rep-
any organization donating enough money for a section later may have its name placed on a plaque and put on a pillar. By this plan the walls won’t have to stop because of lack of funds.
Bobbs Fund Offers Award For Research
resents the students, to see that qualified and capable people are elected.
He added that the President of the United States is both leader of the country and his political party and is active in campaigning for men he thinks are qualified for Congress.
The TRG general assembly will also hear of plans and dates for campaigning in the general spring election.
Cerrell said the assembly will vote on admitting Zeta Beta Tau into the party. The TRG executive committee gave a unanimous vote of approval for admission after ZBT bolted the SC party.
TRG spokesmen said ZBT withdrew after a unanimous vote of members favored such an action. This statement was in reply to an SC party announcement that said ZBT’s withdrawal was the result “of the aims of one man.”
An award of $400 will be granted by the Ella Victoria Dobbs Fellowship Fund before Junt 15 for significant research on the professional problems, training, responsibilities, and contributions of women in education and society in the U.S. and abroad.’
Any individual, man or woman, whether or not currently engaged in educational work, is qualified to submit a research. A rs 11 • T *4 chapter or group of members of : L^e3G 11 De lOOay Pi Lambda Theta, national honorary and professional association for women in education, which is sponsoring the awards, may enter the competition.
Three copies of the final report must be sent to Dr. Georgia j Sachs Adams, chairman of the | committee on Studies and |
Awards, 2772 North Lake Avenue, I Altadena. Calif.

TO AVOID CHAOS
Convocation Speaker Says Religion in College Needed
Man can only avoid chaos through re-emphasis of religion in education, Dr. Louis H. Evans, minister-at-large for the Presbyterian Church, declared yesterday.
In his address opening Religious Emphasis Week in Bovard Auditorium Dr. Evans developed the metaphor that education is like a square with the three R’s constituting three sides — and religion making the fourth plane.
He warned that the fourth R often is like a lid to the box, to be removed at any time one chooses.
“Religion is a lot like a hat, and it became very collegiate in this country to go without it.”
The beginning of most universities in this country, including SC, were founded on religious precepts, fle said. As time passed,
though, we steadily de-empha-sized religion while emphasizing sciences and technologies.
Religion in Profi*ress Dr. Evans made clear that science and religion can and must work in harmony. He told of an' example the late Dr. Robert A. Milligan of Cal Tech had given him. “Science moves on a horizontal plane while religion pulls upward and together they form the tradjectory of progress.”
In his startling message, in which he pulled no punches, Evans remained the optimist, citing how government officials, military men, and men of education are again returning to religion.
More Brotherhood
“Our souls must catch up with our brains. Financially, this country is spending too much on bombs instead of brotherhood, and too much on the military in-
stead of on missionaries," he said.
Dr. Evans concluded his message in the form of a prayer: “Dear Lord, give us Righteousness to our reading, Religion to our writing, and Regeneration to our arithmetic . . .’’
The Convocation opened with an invocation by Rabbi Alfred Wolf of the Wilshire Temple.
Pair of Songs The A Capella Choir, led by Dr. Charles C. Hirt, followed the invocation. They sang “The Last Words of David,” by Randall Thompson; and “Alleluia,” by Williams.
Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, honorary chairman of the annual Religious Emphasis Week, introduced Dr. Evans commenting that he is “a hometown boy.” Dr. Evans graduated from Occidental College and for ten years was minister of the Hollywood Presbyterian Church.	s
