Baxter Recounts Perils of Video
Dr. Frank C. Baxter spoke on “A Schoolman’s Safari ito Darkest Television” yesterday at the luncheon of the dvertising Club of Los Angeles which this week honored ’s 75th anniversary.
At the club’s weekly gathering in the Golden State

ot Waste Educator
The assertion that “college is waste,” made by a university rofessor who refuses to send his aughter to college, was denounced as “nonsense" by Educational Vice President Albert S. Raubenheimer.
"When my daughter is graduated from high school, I am going to say to her: ‘Mary, I don’t think you should go on to college,’ ” writes Professor Howard Kramer in this month’s Cornet magazine. The university 'here Kramer teaches is not named.
Dr. Rauberheimer summarized his reaction to the article in an Interview last week with:
T feel sorry for Mary. She chose the wrong parents.
“Her parents are so sure they have the only right values of life that they are trying to tell their daughter what she should do,” Dr. Raubenheimer said. “They're domineering. They want to make her in their own image.”
Low Academic Standards
Teachers in college are merely part-timers, producing nothing more than low academic stand-rds, according to Kramer. He ites the head of an English de-rtment who earns from $15,000 lo $20,000 in work not connected ith the university.
“Outside demands on our time ead to canceled classes,” Kra-er continues. “Office hours for tudent conferences are cut to he bone.”
Dr. Raubenheimer said that ‘half-hearted teaching by preoc-URied teachers” no doubt exists, ut that these instructors are Very few.”
'Kramer's indictment is a 'eeping generalization. He has totally invalid concept of teach-g personnel.
“To a degree it can be valu-ble for a faculty member to be ublicly and financially sought fter as an expert in his field. Students think more of instructors who are living proof of their teaching.”
In-Service Program The educational vice president described SC’s in-service program with Hughes Aircraft Company, a graduate program in which some of the Hughes experts instruct SC engineering students.
“Here, the students benefit rom instruction that is ahead of he textbooks,” he said.
■mf.
history was traced from its inception in 1880 as a small town school in a city of 10,000, to one of the major private universities in the country with a daytime enrollment of 11.500.
Dr. Baxter brought the group up to date on the most modem phase of SC’s development as he told of his experiences with his two coast-to-coast television shows, “Shakespeare on TV” and “Now and Then.”
With President Fred D. Fagg Jr. of SC as an honored guest, John E. Fields, vice-president in charge of development, was chairman of the day.
“I envisioned an audience composed of three retired librarians in Glendale, a bed-ridden old man in Norwalk, and the control man in the CBS booth. I was worried about getting an audience, for who on earth in this republic would be willing to watch an educational television program on Shakespeare at 11 a.m. Saturday” said Dr. Baxter in discussing his apprehensions when he first put “Shakespeare on TV” on the channels.
“Happily for me, during the second program I said something which seemed funny. I thought it was funny, and so did the man on the microphone boom, vrho fell off his little iron perch with a tremendous crash.
“From that moment on, I never have felt alone in the studio as I had always felt alone in the aseptic soundpr*_»of cell of a radio studio.
Audience There
“The exciting thing wax that we did not have to build our audience, but that it was there and waiting.
“The mail response to our newest venture, ‘Now and Then,’ has been so great that I expect the post office department to call me in for a serious talk.
“Since we began our efforts in cultural television, other programs have appeared on the weekly log of television offering programs that have* imaginative and intellectual content and approach. I hope that our endeavors pointed the way for some of this.
Self-styled “huckster of the literary Muse over the air waves,” Dr. Baxter is seen each week over 95 stations of the CBS television network coast-to-coast. His “Now and Then” program is seen on KNXT, Wednesday at 10 p.m.
Still overcome by the thought that he reaches in one TV appearance more persons than he has taught in his 25 years at SC. Dr. Baxter took his audience on “A Schoolman’s Safari into D ♦'{-est Television.”
Tommy Walker directed a 24-man Trojan Pep Band at the luncheon.
SC students attending were Bill Van Alstyne, student body president; Joan Price, vice president, and Patti Tremellen. AWS president and Kathleen Leavey, homecoming queen.

. . . Intereultural emphasis
Intereultural Croup Praised By Chancellor
Both foreign and American students can reap rich benefits from the Trojan Intereultural Club, according to Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid in a recent interview.
Von KleinSmid praised the club as an agent for fostering better understanding among various cultures of people.
“Whenever I see foreign students on campus,” Dr. Von KleinSmid declared, "I usually see them in groups representing their own countries or cultures. An important function of the Intercul-tural Club is that it can bring all these students together so that they can mix.”
Dr. von KleinSmid. founder of the School of International Relations at SC, stressed the value of the club for Americans and cited the present lack of American members as a weak point.
“Young people of American origin should realize,” he said, “the opportunity to become well-acquainted with students from foreign lands. It is a two-way street and both foreign and American students can gain from this type of experience.”
Harvey to Start New TV Series This Saturday
Dr. Herman Harvey, assistant professor of psychology at SC, begins his second semester of a 16-week television course on child psychology this Saturday over KNXT, Channel 2, with a lecture entitled “Prologue to Birth.”
SC students who make up the televised audience will receive one unit’s credit. The program is from 11:15 to noon on Saturdays. To be admitted to Dr. Harvey’s class students can enroll by writing the TV Business Office, 3518 University Avenue. Cost of the course is $12 for credit and $5 for audit. Enrollment is open until March 5.
Dr. Harvey has given three “warm-up” lectures previous to the actual beginning of the class this Saturday. They were televised Jan. 22, 29, and Feb. 5. In these lectures Harvey discussed some of the methods by which psychologists study the behavior of children, and some of the mistakes parents make in analyzing the behavior of their offspring.
Devoted To Development
The course lectures will be devoted to the physical, intellectual, emotional and social aspects of child development, “particularly,” according to Dr. Harvey, “as they relate to the child’s ultimate personal and social adjustment.”
One of the major aims of the course will be to better understand adult personality and behavior by a thorough study of child development.

Army Marshall Named Russian
Bulganin
Premier
MOSCOW—Red Army Marshal Nikolai Bulganin became premier f Russia yesterday three hours fter poker-faced Georgi Malen-ov resigned with a confession of guilt” for unsatisfactory eadership.
Malenkov bowed out and heard the old cronv of Josef Stalin nanimously elected to his post at two spectacular sessions of he Soviet Parliament in the -rand Palace at the Kremlin. The 1,300-odd delegates, ap-rently taken by surprise, gave alenkov a thunderous ovation, is resignation statement hinted e expected to stay on in the ovemment at some reduced ank.
It said the portly premier was uitting “in the interest of the otherland.” to strengthen the eadership of the cabinet by mak-ng way for one with greater ex-rience in state work.
MOSCOW—Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov told the wildly cheering Soviet Parliament today that Russia is stronger
than the I'nited States in the hydrogen bomb field.
The Soviets have developed1 a “tremendous capacity for making hydrogen bombs,” Molotov said in a bristling speech setting the course of foreign policy under the reorganized government.
He accused the I'nited States of “aggression," particularly against Communist China in the Formosa dispute, an “imperialist” policy which he said was “leading toward a third World War.”
Relations between the United States and Russia could be improved, Molotov said, but only if the I'nited States government “demonstrates the desire to do so.”
In any case, he insisted, the I nited States has no edge at all over the Soviets in the strength to wage war.
WASHINGTON — The House overwhelmingly approved President Eisenhower’s request for a four-year extension of the draft
today after decisively beating down a move to limit the renewal to two years.
The measure, approved by the roll call vote of 394 to 4, now goes to the Senate where favorable action also is certain. Aside from the “Defend-Formosa” resolution, it was the first major bill to clear the House in the new session.
Only Reps. Clare E. Hoffman (R-Mich.), Noah Mason (R-Ill.), Wint Smith (R-Kans.) and Usher L. Burdick (R-N.D.) voted no.
The two-year amendment, defeated by a vofe of 153 to 62 was offered by Rep. Roy W. Wier (D-Minn.), who said he feared a long term draft might lead to “compulsory universal military training.”
This vote paved the way for the four-year extension requested by the Administration and endorsed by Chairman Carl Vinson (D-Ga.) of the House Armed Services committee.

A resolution requesting that the university administra-[ tion drop its bar against advertising in the Daily Trojan by off-campus bookstores or give a satisfactory explanation for this ruling was passed unanimously by the ASSC Senate last night.
The resolution also provided that if the administration does not comply with the request, that the Senate will express a “vote of no confidence” in the administration’s action and submit the question to a student referendum at the spring elections.
The university has for the past few years refused to accept Daily Trojan advertising from any bookstore except
the university owned and operated bookstore in the Student Union Building.
Past Senate’s have requested that off-campus bookstores be allowed to advertise and therefore to compete equally with the University Bookstore for student trade, ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne said, but the administration has never complied or given the student Senate satisfactory reasons for this ban.	•
The resolution was introduced by Senator-at-large Murray Bring who said he had indications that outside bookstores could undersell the University Bookstore, but were not able to present their prices to the students through DT advertising.
“I can’t see why the administration is afraid of competition unless the University Bookstore is overcharging the students,” Bring said. He added, however, that his resolution “should not be construed as a denunciation of the administration, but rather as a request for information.”
Theta Nu Epsilon, underground political group, definitely exists on campus, according to a report submitted at the meeting by Van Alstyne.
The president’s statement, read to the Senate by Senior Class President Jerry Baker, said that not less than 25 members and approximately seven fraternities are involved in the group.
The report also stated that an attempt to defraud the spring election may be tried by the group.
“Apprehension that it (TNE) cannot survive in a regular election is emphasized in its alleged effort to duplicate keys to the IBM office, where ballot-counting will take place.” the report read.
A resolution to sponsor ASSC activities along with foreign student groups, and another to allow foreign students to mingle with fraternities and sororities were unanimously passed by the Senate.
Foreign Students Representative Daulat Masuda, in introducing the motions, said that foreign students, even though they may spend several years in the US, often carry misconceptions back home because these students have not mingled with Americans enough. He said the legislation will encourage more foreign student participation in American activities.
The second motion recommended to the IFC and Panhellenic that foreign students be allowed to eat meals and attend social functions of the houses. It is significant that the motion passed unanimously despite the fact that fraternities and sororities have long been considered exclusive to white Americans.
"Tau Kappa Epsilon has already proved this arrangement and I% heartily support it.” said Ron Weintraub, IFC president.
Millions See Troy Student Recite to Chimp
Reciting the famed "alas Poor Yoric” soliloquy to a chimpanzee over a national TV hook-up was the task of Jack LeVan, SC drama major, last night on NBC’s “Truth or Consequences” TV show.
Selected from a studio audience, Jack, who was costumed in the proper Shakespearean attire, was required to quote the soliloquy to a chimp rather than the usual skull used in the play, and keep the audience from laughing for a prize of $500.
Needless to mention, the studio audience did laugh, but Ja<*k left the show $200 richer, after plugging SC’s Diamond Jubilee to an estimated 20 million TV viewers from coast to coast.

Q—VV'hat methods have you used to promote liaison between the university administration and the students?
A—We have six major devices to bring the students and administration closer together. First, the Idyllwild Conference in the fall attended by student leaders and a good number of administrators is a good meeting ground to find the aims of each group and to formulate cooperative plans. We have also contacted individual administrators for personal difficulties as they come up, thus discussing our mutual problems in specific fieltis of interest.
Administrators are invited to sit in on student meetings, such as Senate, Board of Publications, Finance Committee, and various other activity meetings. I have found no difficulty in discussing problems with administrators and have found them most willing to help.
Another device, an innovation, is a presidential midterm report. I have introduced and circulated, copies to a great number of administrators. Their response has been quite favorable. In fact, I have gotten letters of response from Mr. Fields, Mr. Fisher, Dr. Fagg, and verbal responses from the dean, and the counselor of women. They were all
