Professors Told Entertainment' Helps Keep Students on Toes

Pacific Finance Corporation, who spoke at the Faculty Club luncheon yesterday.
“I tell my salesmen that these things will make the difference between a lively sales meeting and a dead one. and I think the same holds true for professors, who are the world’s worst speakers. next to salesmen.”
Taylor said that professors should know everything about their subjects. He cited Luther Burbank, who presented a thousand specimens to demonstrate one. and muck-rarker Ida M. Tar-bell, who did “ten times as much 1 research on a subject as she need-
impus. and then he said, “Oh ?s. bikes also cut down the num-»r of traffic accidents.”

ed to, so that the amount she knew would lend color and force to what she said.”
“There is nothing sadder than someone who has lost interest in what he is doing.” he continued. “If you can’t be enthusiastic, how can you expect to relay the feeling to anyone else?
“Repetition is a problem. Throw away your notes after each lecture, and change your whole course as often as possible.”
One of the most important things is to make your point clear to the audience, according tb Taylor: “Make a detailed outline of the material you waDt to cover, hand one to the class so they can follow you, give them examples to make it concrete, look into their eyes so they’ll have to pay attention, and summarize completely.
“The 1-2-3 plan is one of the best I know of to help the students learn something and keep the lectures good. Say This process has four distinct advantages.’ or 'Here, in chronological order,
are the five steps necessary to solve this problem.’ and then list them so that the students will understand and be able to take good notes.”
Tfeylor, who graduated from Harvard University with a degree in 16th and 17th century English drama and the next day took a job as a truck salesman, recommends that professors take advantage of “the ham in all of us” to liven up their talks.
“Above all, don’t read your lectures,” he said. “That is the one thing that will ruin you from the beginning.' Use no notes, if possible, and don’t let yourself lapse into a monotone. Pay particular attention to the beginning, and the end. Start with a bang, don't stumble in the middle, and have a good climax.
"Don’t compete with yourself by passing out papers during class,” he said. "Personalize your classroom with a discussion group, which is far better than a lecture group.
This annual research lectUre has been named by Dr. Stanley R. Townsend, assistant dean of the Graduate School, as “one of the highest honors which the university can bestow upon a faculty member.”
Dr. Aen pointed out the various ways in which the Chinese Communist program fits in with the world plan for a proletarian-socialist revolution.
“They consider their own revolution in China as only a part of the world-wide revolution,” Dr. Chen said.
He named five major trends in the Chinese proletarian-socialist revolution.
In the first of these reforms, the Party has strengthened its proletarian character by enlisting support from the peasant class.
The second step is the continuing stress that the “class struggle is a necessary process leading finally to the dictatorship of the proletariat.” •
“In the rural areas -this-class — struggle took the fonti of the liquidation of the landlords as a class,” he explained. “In the cities they persecuted and liquidated the bourgeoisie. ”
In the third phase, he showed that the Communists have stepped up the program of quick transition toward socialism— from private enterprise, then to semi-public ownership, and finally to enterprise completely owned and operated by the state.
“They have intensified their campaign in the last year or two to hasten this progress,” he said.
Dr. Chen named as the fourth trend the tightening of governmental control over the nation.
‘Every reorganization of the government since the beginning of the regime in 1949 has resulted in greater centralization of power,” he added.
The last of the major phases named by Dr. Chen is the Communists’ unswerving loyalty to the cause of world revolution.
“They continue to pay high honor to the Soviet Union, calling it the ‘Big Brother.’ Their slogan is, 'Learn From the Soviet Union.’
“They are ever ready to join the Soviet bloc and willingly accept the leadership of Russia,” he claimed.
“The Chinese Communists cannot be satisfied with the- success of their revolution at home, but must continue to work for the triumph of the proletarian cause all over the world,” he concluded.
Dr. Chen has made intensive research on Chinese Communism for several years, using extensively Communist literature obtained from behind the Bamboo Curtain. During the past few years he has had published more than 40 articles on various phases of Chinese Communism.

Winners will receive a gold cup and will be honored by a victory dinner at the SAE house tomorrow night. The all-tournament team will also be announced at this time.
Bicycle Week on campus and school office-seekers are trying every means they can think of to break into print. Yet not a single politician has taken to the pedals.
It seems to the Watchbird that it is about time the candidates get off the stick and
on the wheels. How can the student body be sure any of the candidate could pull off is to do-government if they don’t even support a simple little thing like Bicycle Week?
The best campaign stunt any candidate could ^ull off it to donate a bicycle rack or two with large signs advertising his generosity to the pedalers. The new campaign song could be “Fight On—Roll on, for old SC.”
On the political front, Mature Student Government party officers will be chosen at the party meeting this afternoon at 2:15. If you are interested, it’s in 102 FH. The party is still looking for new members, house affiliation is immaterial since membership is strictly on an individual basis.

International Croup Controls 700 Votes
The 700 foreign students on campus comprise a significant number of potential votes in the coming election according to Intercultural Club President Jagat Bhatia, who yesterday warned that politically aspiring candidates and parties should take notice of this fact.
Canadian to Talk To UN Delegates
The Model UN‘delegation will hear Wilfrid Wardroper, Canadian vice consul for Los Angeles, talk on Canadian foreign policy at 7 tonight at the Chi Omega house.
Wardroper graduated from the University of British Columbia in 1947, and joined the Department of External Affairs the same year.
“These students are not only active participants in the ASSC elections, but are loyal Trojans in letter and spirit,” he said. “They take pride in all campus activities.”
Bhatia said that in past elections, as a political move, the party chairmen or the candidates had made promises to redress some of the legitimate grievances of the foreign students.
Fail to Act "But as soon as the election results were out, the officers took no pains to keep in contact with the foreign students and do something concrete for them,” he continued.
"It should not be forgotten that the foreign students’ votes will have a definite influence on the results of the coming elections. They are politically conscious.
Many times in the past, according to Bhatia, foreign students have been welcomed by the faculty and administration, but entirely alienated by fraternities and sororities.
“They have been considered as guests or foreigners, but not as equals or simply fellow-Trojans,” he stated.
“This year is probably the first time the Senate has taken up the question of foreign students or shown some interest in them,” he continued. “We appreciate this fact, but feel what has been done is insufficient.”

The second step is the continuing stress that the “class struggle is a necessary process leading finally to the dictatorship of the proletariat.” • “In the rural areas -this-class — struggle took the fonti of the liquidation of the landlords as a class,” he explained. “In the cities they persecuted and liquidated the bourgeoisie. ” In the third phase, he showed that the Communists have stepped up the program of quick transition toward socialism— from private enterprise, then to semi-public ownership, and finally to enterprise completely owned and operated by the state. “They have intensified their campaign in the last year or two to hasten this progress,” he said. Dr. Chen named as the fourth trend the tightening of governmental control over the nation. ‘Every reorganization of the government since the beginning of the regime in 1949 has resulted in greater centralization of power,” he added. The last of the major phases named by Dr. Chen is the Communists’ unswerving loyalty to the cause of world revolution. “They continue to pay high honor to the Soviet Union, calling it the ‘Big Brother.’ Their slogan is, 'Learn From the Soviet Union.’ “They are ever ready to join the Soviet bloc and willingly accept the leadership of Russia,” he claimed. “The Chinese Communists cannot be satisfied with the- success of their revolution at home, but must continue to work for the triumph of the proletarian cause all over the world,” he concluded. Dr. Chen has made intensive research on Chinese Communism for several years, using extensively Communist literature obtained from behind the Bamboo Curtain. During the past few years he has had published more than 40 articles on various phases of Chinese Communism.

Bicycle Week on campus and school office-seekers are trying every means they can think of to break into print. Yet not a single politician has taken to the pedals. It seems to the Watchbird that it is about time the candidates get off the stick and on the wheels. How can the student body be sure any of the candidate could pull off is to do-government if they don’t even support a simple little thing like Bicycle Week? The best campaign stunt any candidate could ^ull off it to donate a bicycle rack or two with large signs advertising his generosity to the pedalers. The new campaign song could be “Fight On—Roll on, for old SC.” On the political front, Mature Student Government party officers will be chosen at the party meeting this afternoon at 2:15.

International Croup Controls 700 Votes The 700 foreign students on campus comprise a significant number of potential votes in the coming election according to Intercultural Club President Jagat Bhatia, who yesterday warned that politically aspiring candidates and parties should take notice of this fact. Canadian to Talk To UN Delegates The Model UN‘delegation will hear Wilfrid Wardroper, Canadian vice consul for Los Angeles, talk on Canadian foreign policy at 7 tonight at the Chi Omega house. Wardroper graduated from the University of British Columbia in 1947, and joined the Department of External Affairs the same year. “These students are not only active participants in the ASSC elections, but are loyal Trojans in letter and spirit,” he said. “They take pride in all campus activities.” Bhatia said that in past elections, as a political move, the party chairmen or the candidates had made promises to redress some of the legitimate grievances of the foreign students. Fail to Act "But as soon as the election results were out, the officers took no pains to keep in contact with the foreign students and do something concrete for them,” he continued. "It should not be forgotten that the foreign students’ votes will have a definite influence on the results of the coming elections. They are politically conscious. Many times in the past, according to Bhatia, foreign students have been welcomed by the faculty and administration, but entirely alienated by fraternities and sororities. “They have been considered as guests or foreigners, but not as equals or simply fellow-Trojans,” he stated. “This year is probably the first time the Senate has taken up the question of foreign students or shown some interest in them,” he continued. “We appreciate this fact, but feel what has been done is insufficient.” Five Suggestions JAGAT BHATIA . . . talks politics sentation. some Senate seats should be allotted them, on the basis of their number .
