R.C. Fund
Collections
Deficient
Chairman Announces Drive Will Continue; $3000 Goal Near
With SC a substantial $700 short of the $3000 goal set for the Red Cross Fund drive at the close of the first week, Virginia Lee Steitz, Red Cross chairman, announced that collections will continue until the quota is filled.
Although last Friday’s performance of the “Gay Nineties
Review” contributed about $120 to bring the fund to $2300, the students and faculty of the University have thus far failed to reach the $3000 target, a sum that will surpass all previous records.
“We have always gone over our quota in the past,” Miss Steitz remarked confidently, “and with the largest enrollment in the history of the University we will keep going until we do it again.”
The Troed booth in front of Bovard auditorium will remain open. Each contributor becomes a full-fledged member of the Red Cross, equipped with a membership card, Red Cross pin, and a pamphlet on the ever-increasing activities of the organization.
Campus sororities have supported the drive 100 per cent, but among fraternities only Kappa Alpha and SAE have shown donations by each man. “A revival of collections among mens’ residences may put us over the top,” Miss Steitz said.
Of the dormitories, Sequoia hall has achieved a 100 per cent membership, and Harris plaza has listed contributions. However, the rest of the dorms haven’t been heard from.
Several of the fraternities have not turned in reports either, so totals may go higher at the close of today’s collections.
Dorsey Payne, fund drive chairman, is renewing efforts to contact faculty members and students, and to advertise the needs of the Red Cross more widely by having posters tied on car bumpers.

Parking Decision
Action on the proposed use of Exposition boulevard for student parking is expected from the Los Angeles Police department this week, according to O. M. Chatbum, university business manager.
Mr, Chatbum submitted the proposal, intended to alleviate the j present campus parking problem, more than a week ago.
If the request is approved, park-• ing will be permitted on the south side of Exposition boulevard, with i : “nosed-in” parking available from Vermont avenue to Hoover street. 1 Enough cars could be accomodated to ease the parking problem.
“If students would cooperate with | i each other, the parking situation j wouldn’t be such a problem.” Mr. Chatbum said. “I urge everyone to j park only in designated areas and to keep the aisles open.”
Trojan Knights have been patrolling the parking area behind Science hall two to four times a day, tagging offenders, in an effort to enforce correct and efficient use *vtU&bl« apace.
Counsel Offered Troy's Confused
The educational counseling service will hold another meeting Thursday, at 11 a.m.. In 108 Bridge for those students who are undecided or confused on the planning of their future programs.
This service, which was inaugurated by Albert S. Raubenheimer, dean of the College of Letters, Arts, and Scienoes, is so managed that students will be able to discuss individual problems as well as make appointments for personal conferences with Paul E. Hadley, instructor in international relations.
In addition to Mr. Hadley's counsel, students will now be able to gain the advice of Edgar A. Taylor, instructor in English. Mr. Taylor will offer daily counsel at 1:15 p.m. Administration 207.
“The fact that these conferences were designed for students in the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences does not restrict other students with problems from attending,” said Mr. Taylor.
In addition to these regular conferences Emery Evans Olson, dean of the School of Public Administration. announces a specialized meeting Apr. 4. 3:15 206 Administration for those students with questions relevant to the School of Public Administration.
JIM CALLANAN .. . AWS hero
AWS Features Football Films For Females
Assembly Will Offer Pictures of SC-Vol Rose Bowl Meeting
Technicolor films showing the quickest touchdown in Rose Bowl history will be witnessed by SC coeds today when the four-reel
movie of the SC-Tennessee football clash is flickered at 3:15 in Harris hall.
AWS sponsored, the movies will last about 25 minutes, and give new students an opportunity to see the Trojans in action—which culminated in their eighth straight Bowl victory.
Highlighting plays that gave SC a 25-0 victory over the University of Tennessee Volunteers, the film records the initial goal made by Jim Callanan, scored after 2 minutes and 50 seconds of play. Callanan blocked an attempted kick by a Tennessee player, scooped up the ball, and dashed 30 yards to score Troy’s first touchdown.
Jim Hardy, SC captain, was hero of the day when, in the words of a Los Angeles Examiner sports writer, he “passed 22 yards to Paul Salata for one touchdown, swept like a thunderbolt far to his right from nine yards out for another touchdown, and then in the fading seconds of the game, struck a third time.”
“After the film showing, guests are invited to the ceramics patio of the College of Architecture, where doughnuts and chocolate will be served,” said Connie Smith, AWS president.
Jean Crider, AWS social chairman, added, “the chocolate will be cither hot or cold, according to the temperature.”
Betty Allen, AWS treasurer, requests that blue I.D. cards be shown for admittance to the movie.
General Discussion Will Follow Lecture;
All Invited to Attend
Prince Matila Ghyka, visiting professor of the School of Philosophy, will speak on “Science and Philosophy” tomorrow afternoon before the third session of the SC Philosophy forum at 4:15 in Bowne hall.
In this lecture, the third in a series of six being offered
by the Philosophy forum, Dr. Ghyka will explain the ‘•correlation between science and the big problems in the field of philosophy.”
The general public is welcome to the forum, and after the lecture there will be a general discussion period. During this time the audience will be given the opportunity to ask questions or present personal views.
A native of Rumania, Dr. Ghyka formerly served on the diplomatic staff of his government. In his long career as a diplomat, Dr. Ghyka was decorated the Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian order by Great Britain, officer of the Legion d’Honneur by France, and received the Grand Cross Polar Star from Sweden.
Dr. Ghyka received his degree of Ll.D. at Brussels university and bachelorship in electrical engineering at the High School of Electricity in Paris. Dr. Ghyka has been at SC since last fall conducting classes in aesthetics and sem-atics.
In the remaining three lectures of the forum Dr. Ghyka will discuss Chinese symbolism and art.
Bogus Checks, Phone Change Worry Cashier
Bogus checks, naval trainees desiring one and two dollars’ worth of nickles, and students who don’t know what a personal check is—these are all part of a day’s work for Mrs. Betty Dickinson, assistant to the cashier.
The rubber checks, according to Mrs. Dickinson, are usually the result of confusion on the part of students who forget how much money they have to draw on. They usually respond immediately when pressed for a check containing less “bounce.”
The naval trainees’ desire for heaps of nickles remains a mystery, however. There are no “one-armed bandits” on the SC campus and the only possible explanations are the phone booths and the sailors’ legendary “little red books,” containing hundreds of phone numbers.

Troy’s men and women debate squads will meet their crosstown rival, UCLA, in a two-day debate competition, Apr. 2 and 4. on the timely subject, “Resolved, that the United States should take the lead in initiating the policy of free trade among the nations of the world.”
“We intend to hold two separate men’s debates in Bovard auditorium on Apr. 2, while the two women’s teams will journey to the UCLA campus for their meet,” said Kenny Gabriel, manager of the debating squad and organizer of the program.
Comprising the first men’s team will be Maurice Gould, captain of the debating team, and Eph Konigs-burg. Sorrell Trope and Gerald Nordland will constitute the alternate team.
Anita Norcop and Mildred Carmen will represent the first women’s team and Rachel Hansen and Louise Shahan, the second.
“The exact time for the events has not been set,” Gabriel said, “but we should know far enough in advance to notify all those interested in attending.”
Warren Appoints Dean E.E. Olson
Governor Earl Warren, has appointed Emery Evans Olson, dean of the School of Public Administration, to serve as a member of the committee on intergovernmental relations of the state, it was announced on campus.

Physicians' Group Treats Veterans
Effective yesterday, the following veterans will be eligible for treatment by members of the California physicians service, it was announced by Charles H. Martin, contact representative of the veterans administration on the campus:
1.	Any veteran who has established service connected disability or a service connected disability for which he is drawing a pension, may be treated for that disability.
2.	Any veteran who has filed a claim for a service connected disability, which claim is still pending and has not been determined, may receive medical attention for that disability.
The application for treatment and the statements mentioned, are set forth upon a form used by the California physicians service which is not a veterans administration form.
Following a verification of the statements and representations made by the veteran, the veterans administration will pay for the treatment; otherwise, it will become the personal obligation of the veteran himself.
“There is not available, at present, a membership list of the California physicians service,” stated Smith J. Garner, contact officer of the Los Angeles office of the veterans administration. “However, the doctor applied to for treatment will be able to tell the veteran whether or not he is a member of the California physicians service,” Gamer continued.

Yet Assistants Give Solution To G.l. Quibs
Finances of G.l. Bill Cleared Up for Vets; Further Details Given
“H'w veterans allowances are prorated according to .number of units taken” and “Is attendance of the SC summer term permissible under the G.L bill?” seem to be the most outstanding questions of SC veterans, according to Bob Knoem-schield and Carolyn Wellborn, assistants to Dr. P. A. Libby, coordinator of veterans affairs.
Undergraduates may take 11, 10, or 9 units and receive three-quarters of subsistance allowance; 8, 7, or 6 units and receive one-half subsistance allowance; 5, 4, or 3 units and receive one-fourth subsistance allowance. Less .than 2 units receive no subsistance allowance.
Graduate students may take 9, 3, or 7 units and receive three-fourths of subsistance allowance;
6 or 5 units, one-half subsistance allowance; 4 or 3 units, one-fourth subsistance alowance, but less than 2 units receive no subsistance allowance.
‘The .time spent in classes Is prorated the same as allowances for graduate and undergraduate students.” “For example, an undergraduate taking 9 units for a 16-week term receives three-fourths subsistance allowance: and three-fourths of the 16 weeks is deducted from the total number of weeks the veteran is entitled to under the G.l. bill,” Knoemschield stated.
“Veterans seem to be confused about how many weeks or months of school inf they are entitled to have,” Knoemschield said. The maximum allowance under the G.l. bill is 48 months of schooling. Actually, this amounts to 48 months of four-weeks each and for every 34 weeks the government allows 5500.
“For example a veteran, having attended two 16-week terms, de-

“Recent speeches of Stalin supporting the UNO and promising withdrawal of Russian troops from Iran and Manchuria are indications of peace,” Mr. Peck stated.
“Real danger of peace Ues in the imperialistic designs of Winston Churchill and those who will follow his poHcy.**
Peck's discussion view* that “Russia for a long time consistently fought for collective security before the war until appeasement by Britain and France completely ruined the efforts of the league.
“Her recent activities in surrounding states are endeavor to secure her borders at all cost. Almost all the countries surrounding Russia have been used for a base for aggression against Soviet Union in the last 25 years.” Mr. Konigsberg states his belief { that the bases for our grievances be generalized as:
“1. The use of military force to intimidate weakker neighbor states.
“2. The fostering of the beginnings of a totalitarian pattern in such a nation as Yugoslavia.
“3. A tendency towards unilateral action on matters which the Soviet Union deems vital to tis interests.” Konigsberg expressed his idea that the common excuse given for these actions of Russia is that Russia has to protect her boundaries and has to erase all vestiges of “fascist" influences.

Madsen Meets Hutchins
U.S. Foreign Policy Labeled Folly
by Ruth Madsen
“Because of the prejudices or the ineptness of our statesmen, or their ability to cope with the problems of the atomic age, we are blundering into a war with Russia,” dffclared Dr. Robert Maynard Hutchins, chancellor of the University of Chicago, in a press conference yesterday.
The foreign policy upon which the United States is embarked is the sheerest folly and it will end in disaster. It is a policy based on force, oblivious to the fact that now a nation which uses force will perish in the act of using it.
Dr. Hutchins spoke at the Philharmonic auditorium last night under the auspices of the Modem Forum, and his speech was clearly a tirade against the policy of intimidation which he believes the United States has forced upon the rest of the world.
“Rattling the atom bomb can hardly be called a method of inspiring trust in America’s peaceful intentions. We know that we have momentary superiority in military power; we kno that nobody is threatening us, but look what we are doing. We are talking about grabbing bases all over the world. We are planning the largest military forces in history. We are saying that we are going to keep from the
0
world the blessings -of atomic energy, and at the same time we threaten everybody with its destructive power.
“Mr. Truman's Navy day speech and his interview at Reelfoot lake on the secret of the atomic bomb can only be taken as an attempt to intimidate Russia. If Russia attempted to intimidate us, we would react as Russia is reacting. We are handing our foreign policy over to the military, something that this nation has abhorred for 150 years.”
Dr. Hutchins, completely relaxed during the Town House conference, spoke softly and evenly despite the impact of his words.
Those who speak of maintaining peace by force will not understand that the alternatives before us now are peace or suicide, he said. Everyone is agreed that no one can win an atomic war. No scientist of repute doubts the fact that every country with an industrial capacity will have the atom bomb in five years. We, therefore, have just five years to build for peace, but it can be done.
“I admit,” stated Dr. Hutchins, “that the Russians are hard to get on with. I do not like their form of government, their philosophy, or their religion, which is the gospel according to Marx. I do not like their present indulgence in power politics and their apparent convic-
tion that everyone is after them. A mass persecution complex is a difficult thing to deal with. And yet, if we were in Russia’s position, I am inclined to think that we would be doing what Russia is doing. or worse.”
Such policies as peacetime conscription, secrecy in regard to atomic energy, and the program for the largest army, navy, and air force in the world will weaken rather than strengthen the United States, declared Hutchins. They will involve us in a fruitless armament race, which waste our substance, divert us from the task of building a better world, luU us into a false sense of security, and lead inevitably to war.
“Today one must necessarily believe in disarmament,” averred Dr. Hutchins. ‘Armament means the atomic bomb, it means gases worse than any ever developed, and it means biological warfare. There is no moral difference between killing instantly with an atomic bomb, or poisoning ‘pleasantly’ over a longer period of time.”
“The UNO is weak and ineffective,” said Hutchins, “but it is all that we have. It is weak because it begins with the sovereignty of the nations involved. It is not a world organization, but a series of alliances. Nevertheless, although it is not the total solution, we must
make the UNO work*
Hutchins, who was dubbed the “boy president” when he assumed the presidency of Chicago in 1030 at the age of 30, says that he doubts whether we can scare people into any durable world organisation. “No organization based on fear can last,” he maintained. “We must build up a sense of world community and humanism, and this can be done only by educational processes.
“I have such a tow opinion of American education, however, that I don’t know what Jt can accomplish along these lines. American education cannot even develop a community feeling in the United States, let alone in the' wortd.”
Dr. Hutchans explained that the necessity in America k foe greater education in the liberal art* with less attention being paid to “gH* ting ahead” through “contacts.” H« declared that he would be contented with the American educational system if a student by time he had graduated from college had learned the three R’s.
“With the expection of scientific research, it is not because of, but in spite of American education that the United States has become as strong as it is. Liberal education is not vocational and is not to develop the individual, but it is to make us free men and to educate us about humanity.”
