O LONGER FAR
Far East Explained In Initiation Speech
The Far East is no longer far, Dr. Rodger Swearingen inted out last week at the winter initiation of Phi Beta appa in the Hall of Nations.
“America has gained a new perspecive on Asia since orld War II. The Orientals are not as mysterious as they e supposed to be,” according to
Swearingen, assistant 'profes of international relations.
Dr. Swearingen served as Jap-lese language officer at Gen. uglas MacArthur’s headquar-rs in Tokyo. He was also with e State Department in Washington, D.C.
New Initiates Those initiated into Phi Beta 'appa were Bill Van Alstyne, jdith Anderson, Prof. Alexander rosloff, LaVern Christensen, Dale rum, William Harris, Bernard 'raus, Peter LaSha, Carol Ann mall, Neil Shaver, Carolyn Tem-le, and Ronald Turoonjian.
“Our present knowledge of Asia :s so much greater and more ac-urate that all the history books written about this area prior to 945 will have to be rewritten,” r. Swearingen said.
First Lesson “Pearl Harbor was our first esson in realizing the lack of information and understanding, rior to that time America was n isolationist and was European-inded. We found the Oriental anguage a severe handicap and he government had to search for he comparative few who knew sian tongues.”
“America’s ‘knowledge and increased responsibilities have changed the concept. Captured diplomatic and military documents have given us the inside story of such incidents as the Japanese seizure of Manchuria, the bombing of Panay, and events leading Up' to Pearl Harbor.”
Document* Available I “Now available are Japanese Foreign Ministry archives, the [German Foreign Office documents on China and Japan, and several ■thousand volumes of the South ■Manchurian Railway files,” he explained.
i “Research studies by the Ameri-an Council of Learned Societies, nade last year at the request of he Office of Navy Research and he Ford Foundation, showed 1051 ■Americans with professional interests in areas of China, Formosa, Japan, Korea, and the Ryukyu Islands alone.
Political science, economics, history. and Oriental studies were represented by over 100 persons in each field. Inclusipn of South Asia added 200 more specialists while South East Asia accounted for 147 more. The survey indicated that about 70 per cent of !the personnel were native born, 58 per cent were employed in colleges and universities and 19 per cent were members of federal staffs.
Far East Specialists
“In 1951 there were 115 American university faculty specialists on the Far East as well as 246 graduate students concentrating on that region,” Dr. Swearingen said.
Examples of increasing U.S. postwar academic interest in Asia and other little-known regions were given by the SC professor showing that the Ford Foundation spent $32 million in the past three years in foreign areas. Projects included sending several hundred students to Asia for advanced study.
Fulbright awards and projects of the Rockefeller Foundation were named as additional efforts to promote international understanding.
Money Given Several million dollars have been appropriated by the U.S. government to universities such j as SC for classifying materials on Asia as a phase in the human resources area program, accord- j ing to Dr. Swearingen.
“Typical of the academic trends for new studies of the Far East are the 25 SC courses in the field. Six of our faculty have done special work abroad this past year including Dr. Theodore H. E. Chen, head of the Asiatic studies department, who spent six months in Formosa establishing a new university.”
“Dr. Henry Reining, dean of the School of Public Administration, spent the summer in the Philippines to aid in a new government training program. Dr. Lewis F. Stieg, director of the School of Library Science, is' still on leave in the same area to train librarians.’’
“Dr. Paul Langer and Dr. Peter Berton were with me in Hong Kong and Japan this past summer studying tl*e Russian impact on Japan,” Dr. Swearingen said.

Senate Election Group Slaps Fine on Corwin
The Senate Elections Investigating Committee slapped a $5 fine on Sue Corwin as a result of investigations into the special election last week.
Miss Corwin was fined because some of her workers were campaigning too close to the polls in violation of election regulations, Jerry Baker, committee member, reported Friday.
The unofficial report of the committee, which is headed by Barbara Hasse, also cites the picture in Friday’s DT showing workers for both Barbara Frank and Miss Corwin campaigning illegally in front of Tommy Trojan.
Since campaigning near the polls is limited to the Student Union area, the Senate will decide whether or not to levy fines after hearing the committee’s report on Wednesday.
The Senate may be lenient since election regulations weren’t
given to the individual candidates, Baker predicted.
Candidates are also reminded that any posters left up after 3:30 p.m. last Friday are subject to a fine of $1 each.
“All in all, this was probably the cleanest election for some time,” Baker said.
Arthur to Speak On KBIG Show

Political Monopoly' Views Expanded by Van Alstyne
Too many false impressions have been created over ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne’s advocation of “political monopoly,” the student body leader said yesterday in a television interview over In reference to a talk that caused repercussions after
the TRG General Assembly last week. BVA said, “before that group, I offered my congratulations for their work this year and
my personal endorsement in the coming election.
“Four reasons contributed to my position,” he told DT Editor Charlie Barnett in the interview. “TRG’s elected and appointed student body officers now serving SC have done an excellent job. reflecting credit to the party that supported them.
“The conduct of the TRG meetings is in accordance with accepted parliamentary law, and the recent meetings and election cam-
paigns have been conducted openly and according to the ASSC Constitution.
“TRG has drawn its representation from large, small, and minority houses, and independent students, indicating a breadth of membership available to any honest and interested student.
“I am convinced that most of the participation and executive decisions of the only other existing party, the SC Party, come
Campus Vary on
Reactions to ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne’s suggestion for a second political party not “dominated by self-interested persons” ranged from willingness to help form the party to a criticism of the present party system.
Panhellenic President Edith Anderson, mentioned by Van Alstyne as a possible supporter of the plan, said that a sincere second party would “be a good thing.”	,
“I am willing to help set up the party. But we would have to make sure that the people who form it are sincere,” she warned. Van Alstyne had said that TNE might attempt to take over the proposed party.

vored “some sort of no-party system” rather than a situation where political moves are not open and above board.
Brandt added that the one-party monopoly recently championed by Van Alstyne is preferable to having two parties, one of them underground.
ASSC Vice President Joan Price, also called capable of helping create the new party, made 1 it clear that she is “not interested in forming a new party.”
One strong political party can’t exist alone, no matter how good it is. Miss Price said, yet she was emphatic in, refusing to start an opposition group to TRG.

“Theoretically, I’d like to see an honest segment of Trojans organize to form a real legal two-party system this year. Practically, however, it is more than doubtful that such a move can be made until certain old faces can be removed from campus.”
Thoreson agreed with Van Alstyne’s call for a TRG monopoly of campus politics as the only choice at the present time.
Leaders of the SC party, against which the ASSC president has been campaigning, were not available for comment. However a party spokesman assured the DT that the group’s views would be available for tomor-

from nefarious politicians are also members of TNE.”
He went on to say that, because the SC Party is the only party clearly dominated by self-interested persons, he felt it would be best for honest student government with responsible representatives to be served with TRG candidates.
“The question occurs then,” Van Alstyne said, “that if the one party alone conducts itself honorably enough to warrant support, am I not in effect suggesting a monopoly of power?
“If by a monopoly is meant the total exclusion of TNE and any front organization they might establish, the answer is definitely ‘yes.’ ”
Van Alstyne said that whatever second party to TRG might arise, it must prove to the student "body that it is not merely a new name for the old membership of TNE.
“Senator Murray Bring, Vice President Joan Price, Panhellenic President Edith Anderson, DT Columnist Mark Thoreson, and Debater Bob Wallach, I think, are interested and capable of helping a new party form, if enough students approach them to show the need of a second force.”
He suggested that these people have had experience in politics, know enough of the TNE membership to keep TNE from moving in to usurp the party, and feel a “certain uneasiness” about supporting only one party, TRG, even if it is a fair organization.

MODERN BURLESQUE BARED IN FOUNDERS HALL TODAY
“Modern Burlesque” will' be the topic of today’s English reading by Dr. Garland Greever, professor emeritus, today at noon, in 229 FH.
Dr. Greever is returning to the university in answer to » request for him to appear as speaker at the reading.
He says literary burlesque is the contrast between reality, as the reader knows it, and the distorted picture which the author draws for humorous effects.
Dr. Greever will confine his readings to the works of poets of the last 100 years. Among these will be a portion of one of the oondensed novels of Bret Harte. Harte did several “takeoffs” on famous novels.
A burlesque of Oscar Wilde by W. S. Gilbert of the Gilbert and Sullivan team will also be included. Two poems by Louis Untermeyer will be read in which the works of John Masefield and columnist Edgar Guest have been treated as topics.
Thomas Hardy’s “In Church” and Byron’s “Destruction of Sennacharib” will be included. A burlesque of Byron’s poem by Ogden Nash will be read to demonstrate the contrast between the two works.
Dr. Greever received his A.B. at Central College, Missouri, his master’s degree at Trinity (now Duke), North Carolina, and his Ph.D. at Harvard, Massachusetts.
He traveled in Europe from 1914 to 1915, and taught at several universities before coming to SC. Among these were Washington, Lee, Indiana, and the University of Colorado. Dr. Greever taught English at SC from 1930 to 1949, specializing in American literature. He wrote several English textbooks during his teaching career.
