Program Planned To Raise Grades

Opera Workshop to Fete Mozart On 200th Birthday
Celebrating the 200th anniversary of Mozart’s birthday, SC’s Opera Workshop will present "An Evening of Music” Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday, March 3, 4, and 7 at 8:30 p.m. in Bovard.
Dr. Walter Ducloux, head of the opera department, will be directing the show musically and stagewise. Excerpts from "Don Giovanni," "Idomeneo,” and "Cosi Fan Tutte” will be given.
Don Giovanni is a traditional story set in 16th century Spain. The story of "Idomeneo” is set in Crete and pictures the torments suffered by a man who sacrifices his own son to the gods. This wdll be the first time "Idomeneo" will have been portrayed on the West Coast in the new' English translation.
"Cosi fan tutte" is a comedy j about tw'o men who tried to prove that their sweethearts | were faithful.
I The production and stage managers for the performances I are Marion Oles and Gary I Campbell, respectively ,
mittee of the IFC feels that the situation has gotten out of hand, said Kraus.
"A pledge going active will have to have at least a 1.75 grade point average before being considered at all, and even then a pledge must have unusual extenuating circumstances," he said.
Promotes IFC Athletics
“We also plan to encourage, publicize, and strengthen participation in IFC athletics. Recent tendencies show increased participation and more interest in the IFC "Iron Man" trophy, but a small number of houses still dominate the IFC sports scene each year," he said.
The third section of the program, will be an improved public relations policy designed to promote better understanding between independents, Rowites, and the administration; and better relations with the surrounding community, including "the fire and police departments in particular."
At the last meeting of the group Councilman Don Allen, speaking for the City's fire and police departments, presented an award to Alpha Rho Chi for being the "Most Cooperative Fraternity'' during the recent Homecoming week festivities.
Also passed at the last meeting of the IFC was a regulation barring firearms in fraternity houses.
Sex Top Subject of Meeting
Wampus, El Rodeo Problems Subject Of ASSC Also
The question of sex is expected to come up again tonight when ASSC senators consider whether the posts of ASSC president, vice president, secretary, and university recreation chairman are to be restricted to a particular gender.
Also o n the Senate's agenda are reports froil Wampus, the campus humor magazine, and El Rodeo, SC yearbook usually distributed in June. Both reports are not encouraging.
The Wampus is $300 “in the hole" and the El Rodeo will nnt be available to students until July “at the earliest.’’
The sex problem is split into three sections:
Section One
(1)	The final consideration of ASSC Senator - at - large Jim Hurst's constitutional amendment will come before the Senate for unlimited debate. His motion, if passed by the Senate tonight, would permit women to run for ASSC President. The present constitution prohibits this.
However, ASSC President Jerry McMahon expects the motion to be tabled “as if passed, it would necessitate the Senate holding a special student l>ody election to approve or disapprove this amendment."
Section Two
(2)	An amendment for ASSC by-laws which would not restrict the post of University Recreation Association chairmanship to males.
The post is now held by a woman, Dennies Trumbile.
"Although this is a violation of the by-laws, w'e didn't know of it when we chose Miss Trumbile for the position. She has (Continued on Page 4)
Men Run, But ' Women Leap
That day when we men have a chance to “catch a man" is here again. It'D I.eap Day.
The Independent Men’s and Women’s Councils Invite students lo bring their lunches to the lawn on the South side of the Student Union at noon today. Or. James Peterson, mar. riage counselor and Professor of Sociology, will tell “The Advantages of being a Female in Leap Year 1956.” _
El Rodeo, the SC yearbook usually distributed before school ends in June, will not be available to students until July or August.
It was revealed to the Dally Trojan yesterday that under 110 condition will the huge book be ready for June distribution and that some of its I staff members express doubts that it will b? published by early August,
Joyce Steele. El Rodeo editor, said yesterday that the book will be late in coming out due to four reasons.
Gives Reasons She cited them as h?ing (11 j lack of ail experienced person to handle the photo editor’s position, (21 the lack of the staff’s experience in general, (3* tb? the small size of the Fl Rodeo staff, and (5) the negligence on the part of campus organizations in keeping appointments for pic-tun's.	4
I The tardiness of campus j groups in not keeping their pie-I ture appointments and the big turnover in the editorial staff are the main reasons for the book’s plight, Miss Steel? said yesterday.
Superman Couldn't Help Dave Gershenson, board of publications chairman, said that to his knowledge “even Superman could not have put the book out by June."
“As the situation stands now, tbe book probably will b? completely printed by late July or early’ August. I will appear before the Senate at its meeting Wednesday night to ask its permission to extend the El Rodeo's publication date into late August to make the hook as complete as possible," Gershenson said.
Miss Steele added that she also hope's the Senate will permit the El Rodeo to have the late August deadline “to cover all SCs yearly ev'ents for the first time in El Rodeo's history.”
Missed Headline Sbe noted that if the book were to come out in June as scheduled, all the pictures and copy would have had to be submitted to the printer and engraver by Mar. 15.
“If we are granted the additional tim:', the staff will be able to cover Trojan Chest, Songfest, the senior prom, AWS-AMS recognition assemblies, and commencement.”
In the past, these events have been l?ft out of the hook or have been "faked” by using pictures and copy from the previous year's similar event.
But the big question yesterday was “Who will pay the cost of mailing the books to graduating seniors, foreign students, and those who will not return to SC in thp fall?”
It was estimated that the mailing rate on the books would tie at least $1 each in this coun-
WHICH DEVIL?
We Need Conservative, Not Liberal Minds, Russell Kirk Tells Audience
Conservative: a man who is enamoured of old evils, as contrasted with the liberal, who ls enamoured of new
ones.
With this definition from Ambrose Bierce, Russell Kirk began his discussion of "The Collegian and Conservatism" sponsored by th'e Forum Committee yesterday.
“The conservative prefers the devil he knows to the one he doesn't” explained the famed author and scholar. “The liberal

of the San Diego Chapter Alpha Kappa Delta. National Social Work Organization, and the recruitment committee of tiie San Diego chapter of the National Association of Social Worker*.
A scattered audience of about two-dozen people heard Dr. Kirk declare that our age is more in need of the conservative than the liberal mind.
“Whether • nuin i* « eonaerv-
ative or liberal often depends on the age in which he lives," said Kirk. "In an era of stagnation such as ancient Peru or Egypt the liberal attitude is valuable.
Dr. Kirk underlined the thought that our society is one in which "expectation of change seems greater than expectations of continuity."
“The danger is not that we shall stagnate, but that we shall plunge into anarchy or an age of enslavement to the machines of our own technology."
"The Brave New World" outlined in Aldous Huxley’s novel and the dire "1984” predicted by George Orwell were noted as alternatives to a conservative approach.
Presenting his subject in an erudite and scholarly manner.
cans are essentially a conservative people, although the tendency is often incoherent and larks central direction.
"A marked conservative drift exists in our colleges,” he said. "The reason for the change, is the growing importance of the wisdom of the past."
Dr. Kirk said that the two major functions of a university are to preserve the wisdom of the intellectual past and to extend the boundaries of future knowledge.
He declared that the preservation function is more important because “a university by its very nature is a conservative institution."
“We are pigmies standing on the shoulders of giants,” paraphrased Kirk "If the giants
Dt. Kuk declared that Amsri- ^ should stir away we would
quickly fall into a ditch.”
The author of the book “The Conservative Mind” said that in any great society the living must act with consideration for the dead and those yet unborn.
"The dead have a right to vote," he declared.,
Dr. Kirk said that ideas go through a filtering process. In time false ideas are discarded and that which is left is truth.
"If an idea has been accepted for years, it has a presumption to be true,” he said.
Dr. Kirk said that the bulk of proiessors are conservative in philosophy and that a professor is radical “only If he feels that society has rejected and outcast him.”
Robert M. Hutchins, president of the Fund lor the Republic, waa rebutted Kirk.
DT Poll Sees Ike Victorious, Follows Trend
A random poll taken of 50 LAS students indicates that the Republican Party will keep its candidates in the White House for another four years if President Eisenhower decided to run for a second term.
The poll, conducted by the Daily Trojan yesterday, corresponded almost identically with one which this paper just received from the Associated Collegiate Press, a national student news service.
Both polls showed that the Republicans won't win if Ike decides not to run.
The ACP pi. 11 was taken Itefore the president's recent “fitness" report from his doctors and the IJT poll was taken yesterday, but Ixith gave practically the same final results.
Following is a breakdown of both polls:
(1)	Do you think the Repub-liacns will win the 1956 presidential election if President Eisenhower decides not to run again?
ACP Poll: Yes, 17%; no, 64%; undecided, 19%.
DT Poll: Yes, 13 persons; no, 37 persons; undecided, none.
(2)	Will the Republicans win lf President Eisenhower does decide to run again?
ACP Poll: Yes, 53%; no, 23%; undecided, 24 'A.
DT Poll: Yes, 40 person*; no, 8; undecided, 1.	|
