Contcert Today,

Roman Era
Of Turmoil
By LEWIS COBURN
Roman politics in the senatorial
period lacked the. "pleasing sym-
metry of government and opposi-
tion' in the modern sense, Prof.
P*rank Adcock observed in the
fifth of this year's Thomas Spen-
cer Jerome lectures yesterday.
He noted that there was no true
"anti-senate" party in Rome dur-
ing the period, although at times
the senate's authority was chal-
lenged by small power coalitions
which obtained popular support.
Prof. Adcock said, speaking of
"The Age of Revolution," that Ti-
berius Gracchus opposed the pow-
er of the senate by proposing cer-
tain "agrarian reform" measures.
Tells of Tiberius
The senate emerged triumphant
from this early challenge. Prof.
Adcock noted, "Tiberius was killed
by aristocratic die-hards." How-
ever, the land reform was not an-
nulled, he said. .
Later, Gaius Gracchus chal-
lenged the senate, and Prof. Ad-
cock observed that the "senate
was overridden" for two years.
Prof. Adcock explained that
when popular support was with-
drawn, Gaius fell, but the British
scholar added . that senatorial
authority had been "shaken."

Sidney Giles, assistant Univ
sity carillonneur, will give a ca
Ion concert at 7:15 p.m. today fr
Burtori Tower.

University carillonneur Perci
Price is on a tour of Europe.
Included in. tonight's progr

ments for the carillon will inch

Bach, Leo Delibes, and "Frf

Honors Plan
In Lit School
(Continued from Page 1)
their performance in the literary
college has been excellent, that is,
about a 3.5 average.
Study Sophomore Year
The Council and a sub-com-
mittee set up by the council are'
now working on the program to be
offered students in the second
year.
We expect to offer students dur-
ing their sophomore year even
more challenging opportunities
than they are now getting," Prof.
Angell noted. These opportunities
may include tutorial work and
special courses for honors stu-
-dents, he continued.
Another problem now facing
the council is how to separate to
make the ,honors students. The
council would like to give the stu-
dents some prestige, Prof. Angell
said, but not go as far as making
them an "egg-head" group.
Suggests Reading toom
One suggestion which has been
brought up is that of establish-
ing a special reading room for.
honors students. Another is giving
them a distinctive title other than
"honors student." The council
will take up such questions at its
next meeting.
The present .honors program is
in effect at upper class levels in
most departments. Economics,
which is not primarily a fresh-
man course, ,has not set up an
honors section. The English de-
partment has for many years had
its own honors sections in the be-
gining courses.
Beginning foreign language
classes have not established hon-
ors sections since it was felt that
many students who do well in
their courses have trouble with
language courses. Thus the hon-
ors section will be established for
second semester courses only.
Departments will be urged to
suggest to students !that they en-
ter the honors sections if they
have shown the required excel-
lence in their first semester col-
lege work. Probably about one
quarter of the students in the col-
lege will thus take_ at least one
honors course, he noted.
Organization of special sections
is now difficult because so few are
in the program, Prof. Angell ex-
plained. When the honors pro--,
gram has developed toits fullest,
there .may be about 1,200 students
in the literary college program, he
noted.

University Young Democrats arev
planning to send a delegation to
the national YD convention in
Nevada next month, corresponding
secretary Ron Pivnick, '69L, said
yesterday.
Top Democratic leaders includ-
ing Michigan's Gov. G. Mennen
Williams, national chairman Paul
Butler and former President Harry
Truman are-expected to be at the
convention, Pivnick said,
The gathering will be held Nov.
7, 8 and 9 in Reno. The trip, which
Pivnick said is open to any stu-
dent, will cost about $114 round
trip.

aw- Corruption Increased
nd -,-Toward the end of the revolu-
e tionaryage, Prof. Adcock noted,
Lide increased corruption was evi-
S. denced in Roman government. He
anz observed that by this time the
"live and let live" attitude of the
senatorial period had passed.
Prof. Adcock then described a
succession of Roman revolutions,
beginning with Sulla and ending
with- Octavius, during which
Rome passed"under the :rule of.
various dictators and two "trium-
virates.",
Julius Caesar, a member of the'
first triumvirate, later became
dictator of Rome. Prof. Adcock
said that the "murder of Caesar
created more problems than it
solved.",
Vhe close of the Octavian Era
brought with it "at the least, a
new deal," Prof. Adcock con-
cluded.
Concluding this year's lectures,
on Monday, Prof. Adcock. will
speak on "Augustus° Princeps,"
and on Tuesday "The Develop
, ment of the Principate."
