Coif team
He walked from the classroom to the library to the Union, and he said “I’ll give my blood to the Red Cross tomorrow.” But always it was tomorrow. He knew he could save a sailor’s life, or a soldier’s, but always it was tomorrow.
Carelessly used, “Patriotic,” “American,” and “Give now,” have lost their meaning. There is no need for them here. It is the simple matter of “getting around” to calling the Red Cross to make an appointment that must be urged. It is the simple matter of “getting around” to saving the life of your best friend and letting something else slide a couple of hours.
It would be hard to find someone who didn’t believe that he or she should donate blood to save American lives. There is no doubt that the blood plasma collected by the Red Cross saves the lives of seriously injured soldiers and sailors who would die if transfusions could not be performed. The problem is only to get down to the blood donor center. We must all recognize the fact that this is a relatively simple problem, one which we should resolve without any more delay or procrastination.
You can call it a drive if you want to, or merely a unified good deed, but no Trojan should let this week slip by without shedding his blood at the nearest and most painless battlefield he can find, the Red Cross blood donor center. For those students who are under 21, cards for guardians’ consent will be found at the Daily Trojan stand in the Student bookstore. When these cards are turned in at the Red Cross center, a record will be kept and the names of Trojan blood donors printed in the Trojan. Appointments can be made by calling Rochester 0121, and the address of the center is 925 South Western avenue.
Until a few years ago, the only method of making blood transfusions was by direct transfer from the donor to the

Blood donor tips
1. Students under 21 years of age should have signed consent of guardian, or husband or wife if married. (Blue release cards for this purpose will be found at the Daily Trojan stand in the Student bookstore.) The signature of a witness will be asked for, but is not essential.
Donors must weigh at least 110 pounds, and must not have had malaria within the past 15 years, tuberculosis past or present, diabetes, or jaundice within past six months.
On the day of the doning persons should eat sparingly of fatty foods such as milk, cream, butter, cheese, eggs, meat, and fried foods. Nothing of this type should be eaten for four hours before the doning, but such nourishment as fruit juices and crackers or other cereal is recommended. Fatty foods affect the plasma.

ell I told you so, didn't I?'
by the Keyholer
See, I told you so!”thight very ‘ly be the main theme of this t-nominating assembly article, terday proved that the ubiquit-Keyholer was accurate in his gnostications.
The chagrined Machine did illy support Williams whole-eartedly. Many hours before the ;mbly, I pointed out and ex-lained why Fiske’s support was ipping away—so rapidly, as a tter of fact, that he didn’t ev-bother to show up at the rally a participant. I would not be all surprised if he were named ections commissioner for his oyalty,” should the Right Boy * in.
Bill Caldwell did choose to run the last minute, and as I predict-he did not represent himself as anti-Machine candidate—al-ugh TNE is so worried about him ,
that one of its henchmen threatened dire consequences to several of his supporters at a secret meeting the other night.
Mir/xey Heeger’s and Bud Townsend’s sudden withdrawals last Friday do not seem too mysterious to me. Is it a mere coincidence that they are now the sole contenders for the college of commerce presidency and the senior class presi-*dency, respectively? Strange, isn’t it, that one day there are lots of candidates and that a few days later important posts are won because there is no competition?
Also as I predicted, Machine-supported candidate for the ASSC secretaryship, sweetly - beaming Dorothy Smith, suddenly found herself confronted with really-formidable opposition in the person of terse, energetic Claire Laub, a dark horse of the Keyholer. Miss Laub, Alpha Chi, act-
uaUy did not know she was in the race until mid-morning yesterday. Incidentally, even Miss Laub’s opponents will agree that Jean Harris’s impromptu nomination speech is an all-time great for feminine charm and sincere simplicity.
The perennial nominator, Ed French, who is the successor of the mighty Fred Hall, nominated Machine-endorsed candidate Lynn Norby—once again as I predicted. A new twist to the Norby-Galentine race will be added at 9:50 tomorrow morning when the Wampus will appear with a gigantic spread naming Leta as its Girl-of-the-Month.
I also hinted broadly yesterday at the gag nomination of Daniel Finnay — “Call-me-Danny-Boy” Halpin. This ludicrous performance left the average Trojan cold, but all insiders acquainted with (Continued on Page Three)
Former students and colleagues will pay tribute to the late Dr. Herbert Wynford Hill, former university editor, in memorial services in the art and lecture room of, Doheny library, Wednesday at 2:30 p.m.
President Rufus B. von KleinSmid will speak of Dr. Hill as “The Teacher and Administrator”; Dr. Louis Wann, professor of English language and literature, as “The Scholar”; and Horatio Cogswell, professor of voice, as “The Friend.” The Rev. Willsie Martin, pastor of the Wilshire Methodist church, will give a scripture reading and the benediction.
Dr. Hill, who served on the faculties of the University of Texas, University of Nevada, and Utah State Agricultural college before coming to SC in 1927, was a professor of English language and literature as well as university editor. With .
Dr. Hill died last February at his ranch in Woodland, Cal.

for each of the other three all-U offices. For vice-president, Leta Galentine and Lynn Norby; for secretary, Dorothy Smith and Claire Laub; and for assistant yell leader, Chuck McKenzie and Lester Vla-hos.
Horse play and slapstick comedy were intermingled with solemn pledges and flowing oratory from candidates and their backers. Ringmaster Bob McKay and his assistant, Phil Levine, elections commissioner, guided the festivities.
Caldwell, Kappa Alpha president and Daily Trojan business manager, was placed in the running by Frank Snyder, who said that his candidate wculd run on a “representative of all Interests ticket.”
Caldwell’s gag men came on the scene in the next act in the form of a brassy quintet, clowns, and an oomph girl scantily clad (said to be Norm Verry). The noisy lot threw candy and cigars to outstretched hands.
Jack Williams, Pi Kappa Alpha member and chairman of the SC war board, was nominated by Russ Lindersmith, Trojan yell leader. Lindersmith, looking radi-(Continued on Page Three)

The honor was made “in recognition of distinguished and generous public service and achievement in the field of military science.” He flew from Washington with his staff for the event.
Known as “Hap” because of hi* perpetual grin, he is one of the nation’s pioneer aviators. He learned to fly with the Wright brothers in 1911 and is credited with building the army air force to its present strength. He was named chief of the army air corps in 1938 and was named commander of the air forces last year.
