000.000 pints in 1944 for the men winning the war.
Last summer during the first Trojan bloodbank campaign, three records were made by SC: more donations were given during the four-hour interval than at any other college in the United States; less people were rejected for head colds or other minor ailments than any other visit of the plasma caravan, and more donations were given by SC than any other school. Wednesday the Trojan donors beat the summer record of 376 pints in one day and the UCLA record of 392 pints. Dr. E. T. Bishop, physician in charge of the mobile Red Cross bloodbank canteen, said Wednesday’s drive was one of the most successful campaigns the unit has ever witnessed.
Miss Rinehart announced that both civilians and trainees can still sign up for today’s donations. “There is still time for the people who have no appointments to register ” said Miss Rinehart, “and people who wish to give, both civilians and trainees, may come into the bloodbank canteen set up in E. von KleinSmid hall if they wish to donate.”
Parents’ signatures must be on the blue cards of civilians between the ages of 18 and 21, if they are planning to give their plasma. It is not necessary for trainees, as they are under government orders. Miss Rinehart emphasized the importance of being on time, as the entire procedure depends upon clock-work. This is one of the reasons SC has made so many bloodbank records.
Trainees are being excused from physical fitness Wednesday through j Thursday of this week, but they ! will be expected to march Saturday in the Victory Parade, according to Capt. Reed M. Fawell.
Miss Rinehart emphasized a new bloodbank ruling that any form of nourishment can be taken before donating, at least four hours before. "There is no requirement as to what sort of nourishment shall be taken, and those giving shoald eat their regular meals regardless of their donations.”

Hold your hats, kids, here we go again!
This column was started last Monday, and with the close of the Senate meeting Wednesday, the spirit of elections had begun. To put it mildly, things are beginning to happen.
First, what has happened to the original copy of the student body constitution?
It seems strange that the elusive document should disappear the day after the new election commissioner is appointed. Of course, this isn’t the first time. It happens quite often.------------------------
Another item of interest is the big conference in the office of the business manager of the El Rodeo. It was to say the least, one of the greatest gatherings of political personalities I have ever seen. It usually disappears just before the election commissioner begins to plan his election organization. Without the constitution, he just doesn’t know what to do.
For those of you who do not know the four major powers of the campus a brief foreword may be inorder. One of those powers I described to you in Wednesday’s column. It it TNE. The next in importance is the Kappa Alpha bloc. Many years ago the KA machine had a number of student body presidents all in a row. It was 11 or 12, I don’t recall exactly. It was then that the TNE sprang up to oppose KA’s and began a series of political victories that has lasted about 10 years. Last spring the KA’s again took over, when Bill Caldwell was elected.
The third power is the TROJAN. It has been referred to lately in conjunction with the El Rodeo as the Paper Machine. Here I would like to make one or two things clear. The Trojan, editoral-ly, is campaigning for an honest election. That is the purpose or this column as I have said before, and that will be the purpose of the statements that will be made in the editorial columns of the paper. There is no tie-in with the El Rodeo in attempting to back any candidate. That was explained at the meeting Wednesday.
The power of the press is strong. It will fight any and all factions that attempt to employ underhanded methods in this election.
The fourth power is the present student body president and the ASSC Senate. They are responsible for the administrative work of carrying on the elections. I just don’t know what they are going to do without the constitution.
That briefly is the picture. Now to this conference. Tyler MacDonald, the blond bombshell, who is business manager of the year book, was being paid a visit by Bur-dett Jordan, Kappa Alpha president. Jordan, after being approached by “the boys”, who were asking for a clean election, urged that MacDonald, through the Trojan, stress the subject of honesty. The conversation was broken up by Ed Diener, managing editor of the Trojan, who came in the side door, said; “oh! excuse me,” and (Continued on Page Four)

Prize to be given cinch notice king
A set of Morrocco-bound bluebooks will be presented to the “King of Cinch” at the College of Commerce’s all-university Cinch Notice tlance Jan. 15, Mickey Heeger, president of the College of Commerce and marine trainee said Wednesday.
The man with the largest number of cinch notices will receive both the title, “King of---
Cinch,” and the bluebooks. It is believed that this prize is to be given to prevent any man from winning the title more than once.
The College of Commerce has hired people working in the registrar’s office to keep track of incoming cinch notices and report the winner to Heeger and his committee.
The dance will be at the Los Angeles Breakfast club, Riverside drive, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Art Whiting and his band are to provide music for the occasion.
Bids at $1.65 a couple go on sale today at the men’s halls. Representatives are Don Shaw, E. von KleinSmid; Ralph Grahl, Newkirk; John Kimball, Owens; Norm Stow, Williams; Joe Holt, Reynolds.
They can also be obtained at the Victory Hut from 12 noon until 2 p.m. and at the School of Dentistry by contacting Bob Thompson.
ADPis lift

Establishing a record for the winter term, the ADPis by last night had sold $13,850 worth of bonds and stamps at the Victory Hut since taking over Monday morning. They still have today in which to enlarge their sales.
Carroll Brinkerhoff, bond chairman, has asked for 12 more women who desire to work during the fourth war loan drive to report to her today in the AWS office.
Vandals pilfer president s home
Silverware, goblets, teapots, and two overcoats—this was the loot removed from President Rufus B. von KleinSmid’s home, 17 Chester place, in a robbery ^Tuesday night.
During the night while President and Mrs. von KleinSmid were upstairs, unidentified burglars broke into the residence. They pulled down the shades and turned on the lights, thus making the night-watchmen who patrol Chester place think that the residents were still awake.
Coming downstairs in the morning, the president discovered the vandalism and reported it to the authorities. Upon further investigation, it was discovered the robbers evidently had been frightened and had not taken all of the silverware which they had planned to remove. They didn’t touch the objects of art and china which the President collects as one of his hobbies.

commissioner for balloting
by Ed Diener
Leta Galentine, acting ASSC president, had the “appointment” of Mickey Heeger as election commissioner ratified by the senate and set the date of Monday, Jan. 31, for the ASSC election, at Wednesday night’s hour meeting of the SC senate.
On accepting his appointment, Heeger announced that Bob Patterson, College of Pharmacy president; and Margaret Ann Hausmann, AWS president, would be his assistants.
These appointments climaxed the presenting of a new amendment by the acting president “to insure an honest election.’* The amendment was accepted unanimously by the senators. It provides for the registration of all voters before they are eligible to vote. The registration sheets will be made in duplicate with one copy going to the registration office for a checking and the other copy remaining in the hands of the election commissioners.
Petitions for ASSC offices may be filed from Monday, Jan. 24, to Thursday, Jan. 27. Nomination assembly will be on Friday, Jan. 28.
Miss Galentine took a straw vote to determine the wishes of the senate before she named her election commissioner appointment.
Bob CampbeU, Knight president, hopped to his feet and said that the straw vote method of appointment “does not meet with the approval of the senate.’*
“I can take a straw vote any time that I want to,” the acting president fired back at Campbell. He took his seat.
The results of the straw vote gave Heeger every vote but four. Before Miss Galentine put Hee-ger’s name up as appointment, Bob Weide, editor of the Trojan, asked him how he would assure an honest election if his appointment was ratified?
Heeger blushed and asked Weide to have patience and wait until the senate accepted him.
“Can you handle this job with all your other duties?” someone asked.
“I think so,” Heeger smiled back. Tyler MacDonald, El Rodeo business manager, asked if he, as a trainee, could be on the job all day long?
Heeger said he would check into this matter.
