Art Exposition Features Work Of de Erdely
Lecturer to Direct Exhibition to Foster Interest in Painting
Dual honors in the art world came this week to Francis de Erdely, SC lecturer in fine arts. Selected to act as guest director of the first annual Pasadena national art show, De Erdely was also given the signal recognition of a one-man show at San Francisco’s De Young Memorial museum.
The Crown city exhibit, which is current at the Pasadena art institute, is the first major show open to young artists of each of the states of the union. It was designed to foster renewed interest in painting among young people whose development might have been interrupted by the war.
“So many young painters are not given the opportunity to find outlets for their finished work that it was thought that this showing would tend to encourage talent that would otherwise have remained dormant until later years,” De Erdely said.
San Francisco critics were lavish in their praise of the local artist’s work at the recent De Erdely one-, man show, which included water-colors and figure drawings. The figures were singled out by pundit Alfred Frankenstein of the San Francisco Chronicle as “among the most powerful you will ever see.”
The Pasadena presentations included large cash prizes awarded by a panel of distinguished local artists. The young artists’ show will continue through Apr. 28.

Trojans Asked To Cooperate In RC Drive
SC Workers Plan On Goal of $3000,
Full Membership
“Wait, then give!” was the word issued today from SC Red Cross headquarters, where last minute preparations are being made for the campus fund drive next week.
From March 18 until March 22, SC will join the campaign which is now in full force all over the coifh-try. With a $3000 goal and 100 per cent membership in view, Trojans have been asked to save their contributions for the campus drive.
Red Cross help reaches abroad and spreads at home,” stated Ginny Lee Steitz, Red Cross chairman. “Not only are servicemen overseas and in hospitals benefit-ted, but every civilian feels the Red Cross influence in someway.” The peacetime aim of the Red Cross is prevention. Help in time of need is always given, but the Red Cross, through First Aid courses, nutrition service, water safety, and accident prevention seeks to lessen the dangers of everyday life.
Through the week of the drive, every student and faculty member will be contacted by Red Cress representatives. Letters are being sent to the faculty and to the heads of all sororities, fraternities, and other organizations, while a Red Cross bootth on campus will receive individual contributions.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 10.—(U.P)— Former Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, who broke with President Truman two weeks ago, re-entered the political arena tonight as active director of an organization of new dealers.

officers include notable figures of mixed political tinge.
“The purpose of this well-known national organization,” he said in a statement, “is to help mobilize for peace and democracy the pine or 10 million independent voters in this country.
“These voters, holding the balance of power, have insisted upon bold, progressive leadership in national and international affairs.”
Nowhere did he indicate he had accepted leadership of a third party movement. But he said that all the facilities of this organization will be available for the “election and re-election of aggressive, qualified progressives and for the defeat of timid, controlled or reactionary obstructionists.”

Mail Opposing Loan Deluges U.S. Senate
WASHINGTON, Mar. 10.—(U.P.)—The average American opposes the $3,750,000,000 loan to Britain, according to the bulk of mail pouring into senatorial offices on the subject.
A United Press survey showed tonight that every senator contacted is being deluged with letters, most of them objecting
to the loan.
OPA Support Scheduled
by United Press
A giant parade with 100,000 marchers expected to participate, will be held in Los Angeles Mar. 23 to express public backing of price control and continuance of the OPA, it was announced today.
Backers of the demonstration, the newly-organized Los Angeles emergency committee to support the OPA," claim 20 organizations have pledged 15,000 marchers, and other veteran, church, civic, and labor groups are making participation plans.
Economic Stabilizer Chester Bowles, Housing Director Wilson Wyatt, and OPA Director Paul Porter have been invited to address a mass rally of the paraders.
An unofficial pell of more than two-thirds of the senators themselves showed that a majority of them are undecided on the issue.
Most of those who decline to commit themselves admit, however, that they know how they will vote. They hold the key to whether the credit will be approved.
The consensus seems to be “let’s wait and see the evidence when it is all in.” This attitude typified both Democratic and Republican ranks.
The majority who said they were undecided, stated that at present they are against the loan but are keeping their minds open.
Some formerly opposed have undergone a change of heart since Russia began kicking over the diplomatic traces.

session Philosophy Forum.
Dr. Ghyka, a native of Rumania, plans to demonstrate in his initial talk in Bowne hall, entitled “From the Physico-Chemical Theory of Mind to the Mental Theory ^f Matter,” the complete denial of free will by scientists and philosophers before the turn of the century, closing with comments on the dematerialization of matter which ushered in the new era of thought.
Subsequent lectures will be delivered each Tuesday afternoon until April 16, the second and third developing the trend back to spiritualism, and the final three presenting Chinese symbolism and art.
At the second meeting of the forum, Dr. Ghyka will consider the age of relativity and the quantum theory, and the new Pythagoreanism which is rapidly gaining ground at present. The following week he will conclude his treatment of science and philosophy with a comprehensive investigation into metaphysical and religious aspects of modem thought.
The review of Chinese symbolism and art is to include phases of oriental history and religious doctrines and their relationship to the main topic.
Invitations to the forum have been extended to educators, churchmen, and public officials throughout the state. The sessions will be open to all persons, students or faculty, who wish to attend. Each lecture will be followed by a period of general discussion during which everyone may ask questions and present his personal views.
At the special request of the university, Dr. Ghyka came to SC last fall, and since then has conducted classes in aesthetics and semantics. He lectured during the winter session of the Philosophy Forum on “World Politics and Peace,” a subject upon which he could speak authoritatively, having had a wide range of experience in the diplomatic field.
He attended Brussels university and received the degree of LL.D., and also was awarded a bachelorship in electrical engineering from the High School of Electricity, Paris. After completing a course at the French naval academy, he entered the navy of that nation as a midshipman.
Returning to Rumania, Dr. Ghyka was delegated by his government to serve in London as assistant naval attache. He became counselor to the Rumanian legation in Rome, and later in Madrid, Warsaw, and Paris. Going to Sweden, he took the position of minister to the government in Stockholm. From there he traveled to London once again in the capacity of assistant minister, at which post he remained until 1940. During his career as a diplomat, Dr. Ghyka received the following decorations: Great Britain, Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian order; France, officer of the Legion d’Honneur; and Sweden, Grand Cross Polar Star.
-Russia Hants
Soviet Writers Hit Allied Policy
MOSCOW, Mar. 10—(U.E)—Russian commentators, continuing a critical exposition of the foreign policy of allied nations, today complained of American and Chinese policy in Manchuria, the alleged maintenance of “Fascist armies in the American and British occupation zones in Germany and American slowness in prosecuting German capitalists.
Another article demanded that the Franco regime in Spain be ousted. The articles were published as delegates for the first session of the newly elected supreme Russian soviet or parliament streamed into Moscow for their opening meetings Monday.
It is likely that foreign Com-
missar Viacheslav Molotov, in a formal report to the soviet in foreign affairs will make an importa-ant speech during the one week session, perhaps Tuesday.
A foregin commentator for the navy newspaper Red Fleet took up Manchuria and said that some groups in the United States and China were deliberately distorting the real situation in connection with the presence of Russian troops.
Despite a recent explanation by Marshal Rodion Malinovsky, Russian commander in chief, Red Fleet said and ‘despitte the fact that the real situaiioon is well known to Chinese authorities they did not try to hinder the provocations!
U.C. Entrance Deadline Near; Enrollment Up
‘Late’ Fees Effective Mar. 16 as Night Curriculum Expanded
Deadline for entrance without penalty to spring term classes of University College has been set for Saturday, Mar. 16, Mrs. Florence Pollman, assistant to the dean, warned Friday.
In the midst of a signing-up period that overlaps both spring term and spring quarter registrations for the night school, Mrs. Pollman declared that “University College is bustin’ out all over.
“Unprecedented numbers are enrolling at this time,” she said, “and not all veterans, either.” Crowding of SC required courses on the University College curriculum indicates that the evening division is striking out on its own, the assistant claimed, and not inflating by veteran enrollment alone.
Pointing to more than 1000 class cards lying on her desk, Mrs. Pollman disclosed that “an estimated 65 to 70 per cent increase is anticipated over last spring’s figures.” Outside help has been called in for the office staff as well as the instructional staff, to cover the rushed school and administrative situation.
College Reps Plan Confab
The Western College Association will hold its spring meeting at Mount St. Mary’s College, Brentwood Heights, on Saturday, Mar. 30, Dean Albert S. Raubenheimer, announced Friday.

Coons, president of Occidental college, who has recently returned from an important mission to Japan will speak at a luncheon session on “Economic and Social Reconstruction in Eastern Asia” Reservations for the luncheon may be made in Dean Raubenheimer’s office. Tickets are $1.50 each.
The tentative topic for discussion at the morning session is “The Influence of Pressure Groups on College Curricula.” “The Problem of the Foreign Student” will be discussed at the afternoon session.
anti-Soviet compaign fanned by re actionary forces.”
‘Moreover elements directly in charge of this campaign organized anti-Soviet demonstrations in Chungking,” Red Fleet said. ‘Representatives of Chinese authorities pretended they are taking all measures to halt this seditious
activity but the Sin Hua (Com munist news agency) correspondent pointed out that if the authorities wanted to they could easily nip such provocations in the bud.”
“Neither the Polish nor the Yugoslav units commanded by Fascist officers have been disbanded,” Red Fleet said.
Steuber, Crown To Play at Ebell
Lilliam Steuber and John Crown will be heard in a public performance Wednesday evening at the Wilshire-Ebell theater interpreting the Pacific premier of Bela Bartok’s Sonata for Two Pianoos and Percu-sion Instruments.
“The program should prove fascinating, since Bartok has incorporated in his Sonata a new and interesting sound evolved from the use of two pianos and a syncopating percussion section,”_Mr. Crown commented. “The Sonata is cne of the greatest of Bartok’s works,” he said.
In presenting Bartok’s selection Lillian Steuber and John Crown feel they areplaying one of the most significant musical compositions of the age.
On the same program the London String Quartet will play the Quartet Op. 18 by Ernest Toch. Toch, one of the great contemporary composers, is a member of the SC faculty.
Tickets for the event may be purchased at the cashiers office in the Student Union.
