Delay Ends; alls to Rise
By Jeanine Stiles
Construction of the Walls of Troy will begin today after two-week tie-up in municipal red tape. According to Pres-dent Fred D. Fagg Jr., the set-back was a result of the eed for two special city permits.
The first of these approvals, now received, allows SC to
uild walls higher than the 4-foot I
imit usually set for this area. Delays Erection Erection of the two principal pillars at the southern end of University Avenue is delayed pending special approval, since these columns are involved in the city's street planning program.
Dr. Fagg expressed confidence, however, that there will be no difficulty in obtaining the necessary permit.
The two unapproved pillars are those donated by the Student Senate and the Student Personnel Services.
Will Go Ahead
"We have complete clearance for all other pillars,” Dr. Fagg seated, “and will go ahead with these as fast as we can. We hope to have them completed for commencement.”
A last-minute change of plans for indicating each pillar’s donor was revealed by Dr. Fagg.
Bronze plaques, with the name ^ of the donating organization, will be anchored with bolts into the brickwork. Although this method will cost the university more money, Dr. Fagg believes it will be more sightly and more vandal-proof than the original idea of plastic plaques imbedded in the pillar itself.

CARD STUNTS AGAIN — Squires prepare early for next fall's Troyscopes by setting up new brackets in the Coliseum to hold instruction cards. New brackets will save an hour
mr
and a half work for the Squires in getting the cards out at home games, President Dave Gershenson, said.
Squires Mark Coliseum for

Card Stunts
Three thousand brass brads were placed in the Coliseum yesterday afternoon by the Squires to mark new places for the card stunt instruction cards.
In the past the Squires have had to set to the Coliseum long before game time and go through a long, tedious operation of rope tricks to line up the placement of the instruction cards.
The metal holders now in the coliseum were made obsolete with the innovation of Troyscopes. The larger card section necessitates a fanning out of the rows of cards to give the section a symmetrical appearance. Last year the cards were lined up along ropes from the top to the bottom of the section.

“We are anxious to bring the importance of the growth of our Foreign Relations Department to students’ attention.” said Dr. Ross N. Berkes, director of the School of International Relations.
The Public Committee on Personnel was appointed in 1946 by alter Bedell Smith, acting secretary of state, and published a report known as the Wriston Report. This report made two major recommendations to John Foster Dulles, present secretary of state:
(1)	that the personnel of the Department of State and of the Foreign Service be integrated; and
(2)	that the recruitment methods of the Foreign Service be improved and broadened
Efficient Service It is Wriston’s belief that these are both necessary to maintain an efficient Foreign Service. He believes that this is one of the main functioning arms of United States diplomacy and should be strengthened in every way possible.
The committee agreed that a foreign service scholarship program similar to the NROTC plan should be set up. This would insure a representation from every part of the country.

Senator-at-large	Murray Bring	yesterday	became the
first independent in three years to announce his candidacy for ASSC president.
*	Bring, chairman	of the Board of	Financial	Control, said
he made up his mind	to run only last	week, when he decided
his qualifications	made him a
capable candidate. He is the first to announce candidacy.
He hinted that he might b# running under a new political party. The only clue he gave as to party policy was that it would stand for honesty and would exclude TONG elements.
Howard McCrady, the last independent candidate for president, polled only 239 votes in the spring primary in 1952. forcing Wendell Casey into a run-off election before he could claim presidency.
Bob Padgett, elected president in the fall of 1949, was the only independent elected to that office in the last 34 years. He beat Ed Vierheilig in a re-election after a fraud was called in the spring election.
Bring says he will stand for “government for the entire student body” and will promote student government not only as an experiment in politics, but as a student benefit.
“An appeal for support will be made to all elements who wish to support me and who believe in my policies,” Bring said.
He said there were many students dissatisfied with the present political situation and that he would seek their votes and the votes of the independents.
Bring's Platform Continuation of this year’s plans for an orientation class and student address book will be planks of Bring’s platform.
Revamping of the student activity book setup, so that students can buy El Rodeos and activity tickets separately will be a goal of Bring. He pointed out that under the present set up someone buying a spouse ticket would wind up with two annuals. He also mentioned the problem of getting non-student dates into the cheering sections.
Bring said he understood the responsibilities entailed in the presidency.
Represents Troy “I feel I’m capable of running the necessary business of ASSC president, such as conducting Senate meetings, representing the student viewpoint, and representing the ASSC off campus,” he said.
Bring has been actively participating in student government since he was a freshman, when he filled the vacancy left by Bill Van Alstyne, then Independent Men’s Representative.
Verdi Opera Opens at Bovard Tonight for Three Night Stand
By Phil Cook
All of the pomp and ceremony of an 18th century masquerade will prevail on the stage of Bovard Auditorium at 8:30 tonight when Verdi’s “A Masked Ball” begins a three night run on campus.
“A Masked Ball,” a dramatic opera based on the assassination of King Gustave III of Sweden at a masquerade ball in 179£, will have the distinction of being the first work by the renowned Giuseppe Verdi to be performed on the SC stage.
Gives Downbeat
Tonight the curtain will rise and Dr. Walter Ducloux, head of the opera department, will give the downbeat for the first strains of the overture. In keeping with tradition, Dr. Ducloux has chosen a lesser known work to perform here.
Difficult Selection
It was a little more difficult to select a Verdi opera that was not well known than it has been in making the selections in the past, said Jerome Glass, program director of the School of Music.
The choice of “A Masked Ball” was made in part because of the
new English translation by Peter Paul Fuchs, head of the opera department at Louisiana State University. This will enable West Coast opera lovers to hear this translation for the first time.
Costuming for the production was handled by Ingrid. Sets were designed by Robert F. Corrigan and stage direction is under the guidance of Dr. Herbert M. Stahl, professor of drama.
Last Assignment This will be the last assignment for Corrigan, who left SC to join the staff of NBC-TV. He has been working recently on the Bob Hope show.
Dr. Stahl originally came to Troy at the request of the late William C. de Mille. He is known throughout the Southland for his work in the theater. For years he had a desire to direct an opera, and “A Masked Ball” has provided him with the opportunity to satisfy that wish.
Swedish Set The plot for the opera was laid in Sweden. Vedi’s original librettist changed the locale to Boston however, to avoid the possible political repercussions which
might have ensued at the time of its debut.
Authentic Version
The version to be presented here this weekend will be completely authentic in both names and locale, Glass said.
Featured in the cast will be tenors Keith Wyatt and Chris Lacona; sopranos Meg Seno, Marilyn Taylor, Vasilikii Loukas, Suzanne Wolf, and Jeanette Far-ra; mezzo-soprano Elaine Cencel; baritones James Gibbons and Jerry Miller; and Robert Back and Carl Schultz, basses.
Tickets are available for all performances at the ticket office, second floor, Student Union.
Editor to Discuss Foreign Policy
Some of the alternatives open to the U.S. in the shaping of its foreign policy will be discussed Monday by the editor of Christian Century.
Dr. Paul Hutchinson will speak at* noon in the Common Room of the School ef Religion.
First Session In Psychology Starts Today
The first of three all-day sessions for experienced workers in fields of social work, clinical psychology and psychiatry were given this morning by the department of psychology in cooperation with the Veterans Administration.
Meeting in 304 Founders Hall, at 8 a.m., the Institute of Supervision in Clinical Psychology featured problems of supervision of staff, trainees, and clinical services.
Other sessions will meet Mar. 25 and Apr. 1 and are being directed by the Extension Division.
Victory Flag Flies Again
The Victory Banner has been returned and in good shape, Knight President Howard Smith revealed yesterday.
“The banner was returned to the custodian in Bovard and, as the terms stated, no questions were asked,” Smith said.
With the Knights working on Baseball Week and the Cheer Leaders School, the banner-hunting has been an unpleasant task, he said.
The Victory Flag was last seen flying from Doheny Memorial Library after it had been missing since Tuesday.
KUSC-TV Producer Wants Student Talent
A request for student talent has been issued by Martin Fass, producer of a new series of six plays to be televised over KUSC-TV.
The series entitled “Commedia Del Artes” is scheduled to be aired in May. Production of the shows will be handled by telecommunication majors and KUSC-TV'' personnel.
There will be no memory work involved. Participants will be giv-on the general idea of the story, and, with exaggerated motions, ad lib the lines.
The programs will be based on old French burlesque, such as the touring Gypsy bands of medieval France.
Lance Belville, telecommunications major, is adapting the old French plots for modern television production.
A meeting will be held at noon today in the KUSC-TV offices on » the second floor of Hancock Hall for all students interested in acting.
Ken Andrews, coordinator of the series, will show colored films of a similar project which he instigated at Grinnell College, Iowa. He will also have masks and other equipment used in presentation on display.
Prospective talent will be interviewed by Andrews and roles will be assigned at a later date.
