ARTISTIC FORM
Miller's The Crucible'
Browsing Room Topic
norace nomnson, asociate pro
fessor of speech, will present a
reading of connected excerpts
from Arthur Miller’s last play,
"The Crucible," tonight at 7:30 on
the Student Union browsing room.
Miller, one of America's fore
most young dramatists, is also
the author of "Death of a Sales
man," and "All My Softs.”
“The Crucible" has yet to be
produced in the West, although it
opened on Broadway last season
and has subsequently played on
the road. According to Robinson,
the play has not been a hit but it
has a "high artistic form, more
on the intellectual le^el."
The play draws a parallel be
tween early American history and
the present time. Its depiction of
the Salem witchcraft trials in the
Puritan times suggests "certain
witchcraft trials in Washington,
D. C.,” according to Robinson.
The drama centers around a
husband and wife, the latter of
whom is unjustly accused of
witchcraft. The author shows how
this and a combination of other
circumstances ultimately leads to
their destruction.
Robinson has characterized the
play as an example of public
hysteria and persecution, and is a
kind of condemnation of mob ac
tion."

Nagy Says Europeans
Have Bad U.S. Concept
Americans have no mannera or
culture and are big brutes. This is
the concept many Europeans have
of Americans, stated Ivan G. Nagy,
assistant professor of political sci
ence in a panel discussion on “For
eigner's Views of the United
States,” presented by the Interna
tional Relations club and Pi Sigma
Alpha, political science honorary,
last night at the first meeting of
the IRC.
Nagy elaborated by saying that
we have given Europeans that im
pression through our worst tour
ists, our movies, and our material
istic attitude. Americans have dif
ferent standards and the Euro
peans don’t understand them.
Although the European people as
a whole seem to like the Ameri
cans, the elite class, which is the
influential class, view us with
alarm. The youth and masses are
"gobbling up” anything from the
United States, and since the U. S.
is almost entirely middle class, the
elite see that soon their class may
cease to exist.
Nagy said that although the
elite are worried for their own
sakes as a class, they also fear this
new concept of society because
they feel there is no culture in it.
Paul S. Dull, associate professor
of history, discussed the topic from
the Asiatic, and especially the Jap
anese, point of view. He said that
there were three general stereo
types held by Asiatics about Amer
icans—we are all very materialis
tic, weathy, and have great racial
prejudice. These ideas have been
developed to a great extent from
the same sources as the Europeans'
—tourists and the movies. Only the
lowest “B” movies seem to be
shown in Japan, Dull said.
Dull stated that the potential for
good relations with Asia is there,
especially with the common people
who have so far been quite un
touched by most of the propaganda
against the U. S.
However, we must appear to
practice the idea of democracy for
all, not only Americans. We must
really want to help them, not just
further our own interests at their
expense.
Frosh To Repair
'O' Saturday
The “O” on Skinner’s Butte will
be fixed Saturday morning, ac
cording to plans made by Fresh
man Class Pres. Don Smith and
the other recently elected class

Saturday’s schedule calls for
work to begin at 8 a. m., Smith

According to Smith, arrange
ments are being made with Strauk

and taken up to the Butte at
noon by the freshmen women. A
combined work and Califomic
game listening party is plannee
for the afternoon. If possible, th<
"O” will also be painted. Th<

Magsaysay Takes
Strong Vote Lead
In Philippine Race
(AP) Ramon Magsaysay holds a
wide lead in the Philippines presi
dential election over incumbent
