DRUMMER BUDDY RICH TO SPUR CHEST DRIVE
In a gigantic rally designed to swell Community Chest contributions, Buddy Rich, world famous drummer, will appear with Loumell Morgan’s trio on the stage of Bovard auditorium tomorrow noon.
This year’s quota of $1000 has been partly subscribed to by fraternity and sorority contributions, but all students may make donations and receive lapel pins from Greek women.
Sororities will compete for the Phelps-Terkel cup, which is awarded annually to the house turning in the greatest
amount of money collected from the student body at large.
Bud Townsend, campaign manager, reports that the Community Chest quota has not been met for three years, but that all indications point to success in the attempt this year.
Sororities and fraternities who have failed to do so should turn in checks for their Community Chest contributions to Bud Townsend by 1 p.m. today in the Student Union lounge.
Houses unable to meet this deadline should see Townsend immediately, he announced.
Because of the many other charitable organizations now
making drives for those stricken in war-torn Europe, Townsend feels that students may forget the needs of unfortunates here in America.
Blitzed by the rain, the giant thermometer used to record the total contributions of Trojans will continue business as usual at the same old stand, he stated.
Buddy Rich and his drums are currently being heard at the Club Trouville. Rich, formerly with Tommy Dorsey, has proved a Trojan favorite on many occasions and should aid i in the campaign, according to Townsend.

Jury Charges Local School With War Fraud
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28—<U.R>— National Schools of Los Angeles, two of its officials and a real estate operator today were indicted by a federal grand jury here on charges of conspiring to defraud the government on an army contract to train radio personnel.
Those named were Joseph A. Rosenkranz, president, and Louis J. Rosenkranz, secretary-treasurer, of National Schools, and Francis J. Buckley, real estate operator.
The indictment charged Buck- . ley negotiated contracts with the army quartermaster and signal corps for training radio operators and mechanics at a cost of $715,-590. It accused the Rosenkranzs of agreeing to pay Buckley commissions on the contract, despite specific prohibitions against payment of such fees.

officer of the station.
The station is organized under the auspices of the Office of Civilian Defense and the Emergency Medical Services of the Los Angeles Citizens Defense corps.
Students, faculty members, and administration members are asked to enroll. Preference will be given to those having American Red Cross first-aid certificates, but there will be exceptions made. It may be unnecessary for ambulance drivers to possess this certificate.
Meetings will be held at 7:30 p.m. on the first and third Tuesdays of each month in the Physical Education building, Hoover and 36th street. The station will be a twenty-four hour one so people living within a twenty-minute walk of the building may join the night force and those living at a greater distance the day force.
A transportation officer and women with nurses’ training are especially needed now.
The gas decontamination unit is being handled by the College of Dentistry. Director of the unit is Dr. Harry Rasom ot the dentistry faculty with dentistry students working under him.
Organization of the station is now nearly complete, and personnel will participate in the next city-wide rehearsal of air raid incidehts on Tuesday evening.

By comparison, navy officials said, American losses have been light in the raging battle for control of vital Henderson air field.
A communique said no report of any action in the Solomons area has been received since issuance of last night's communique, which reported army troops had thrown back a Jap break-through on the southern flank of the air field.
AIR, SEA FIGHT RAGES
This, however, did not preclude the likelihood that air and sea battles still raged in areas where communiques on the progress of fighting would be slowed by actual combat.

Because of the dimout and gasoline rationing, the alumni association has banned house decorations along sorority and fraternity row. Consequently, a Homecoming slogan will not be chosen.
During the last World war, Homecoming celebrations were discontinued for the duration. The alumni association has attempted to continue the festivities this year even though a few of the customs of the week must be postponed. NOTRE DAME PLAYS
The activities this year precede the annual gridiron classic between Notre Dame and SC. In its first coliseum appearance before the general public, SC’s division of the NROTC will march en masse during half time.
Following the game on Saturday, Nov. 28. the Homecoming dance will be held in the Fiesta room of the Ambassador hotel to climax the 58th alnmni event.

The discussion, second in a series on “How We Live in a World at War” is open to all interested men and women students. Activity points will be given all women students who attend. Doreen Young, Public Affaris Committee member in charge, announces.
