Old Red Suit Being Readied For Toy Drive
All Campus Groups Asked to Contribute To Orphans’ Yuletide
The old red suit is being dry cleaned, the old black boots are being polished, the old white beard is being combed free of tangles, and pillows galore are being gathered. The YWCA has rolled up its collective sleeves and is going all-out on a toy drive for underprivileged children.
In an effort to reach children who. because they happen to be in a small orphanage or one that is not well known are sometimes overlooked, the YWCA is seeking 100 per cent cooperation from every campus organization to aid in this toy drive.
“By 100 per cent cooperation,” Barbara Holt, chairman of the drive, stated, “we mean either a toy, not necessarily new, or 25 cents from every member of the organization.
“We have called on every fraternity, sorority, club, and organization on the campus to contribute to this drive. Several of the sororities have already pledged 100 per cent cooperation and we are hoping that soon every campus group can make that statement.’’
Miss Holt went on to say that in the event there are individuals on the campus who belong to no organization, they can contribute to this charity at the booth in front of Bovard which will receive donations from today through Friday.
Toys will be collected at the fraternity and sorority houses and at whatever collection point the clubs designate. Then on Thursday and Friday the YWCA will send a truck to all of these places to pick up the toys or the money.
Joan Foster will be In charge of canvassing the houses and the clubs for contributions.
“We became aware of the need to reach these children through the child placement division of the state public assistance division,” Miss Holt said. “We hope that this Christmas no underprivileged child in this city will have been overlooked on Christmas morning.”

To find out how a big-time legislature compares with the ASSC senate, we looked in on a meeting of the Los Angeles city council last week. Veterans’ problems were keeping the city fathers busy too.
A motion that the council petition congress to admit ex-merchant marine sailors into federal housing projects set off some real fireworks — bright red ones, at that.
We entered the council chamber just as the meeting was getting under way. Situated on the first floor of the city hall, the chamber is a high-ceilinged room with polished marble floors.
The councilmen conduct business from desks which are arranged in a semicircle. Each councilman and the president has a microphone before him so that everything said can be heard throughout the chamber.
As the meeting opened, tlie councilmen were relaxed, completely at

“And mine in Moscow,” said another. (Laughter.)
“By the way, find out if there’s anything rotten while you're in £>enmark,” George H. Moore, white-haired council president, added. <More laughter.)
As soon as banter was over, the big task of the morning began with introduction of the merchant ma-raine hotion. It was explained that the merchant marine had been injured by adverse publicity which resulted when Sydney Burke, editor of People's World and an ex-sailor, was kicked out of the Rodger Young veterans housing project in Griffith park for engaging in Communist activities there.
This case had brought to notice the fact that merchant marines were not eligible for veterans housing. A delegation representing the sailors was present at the council meeting to urge that the council petition congress.
One of the councilmen yielded the
LAS to Give Final Lecture
The final lecture in the LAS Wednesday series will be presented at 3:15 p.m. Wednesday in the art and lecture room, University library, when Millard B. Rogers,. assistant professor of fine arts, discusses “The Lack of Content in Modern Art.”
Professor Rogers was graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Chicago, and has travelled extensively in the central Pacific area.
During his work with the army he painted many battle scenes, the most well-known of v/hich is probably his “Artillery Action of the Battle of Kwajalein.”
The lectures which are sponsored by the LAS council are under the supervision of Dr. Harold von Hofe, head of the German department, and are open to all students, faculty members, and the public.
Carl Gebhardt. president of the LAS student body, announces that Libby Jeffery and Frank De Marco will be at the door to greet guests. Eph Konigsberg will introduce Professor Rogers.
Eva Kulka is general chairman of the lecture committee, with Mary Jane Woodrow in charge of posters, and Dick Eshelman handling publicity.
Releases May Apolliad Plans
A movement to encourage creative arts among SC students, the 22nd Apolliad will be held again this May after a year's lapse and is now accepting material for presentation.
“The Apolliad is really a glorified tryout for creative work,” said Tacie Hanna Rew, assistant professor of speech, who is chairman of the faculty committee in charge of the event.
“It is a wonderful opportunity to get material presented and to get audience reactions as well as some professional criticism,” Professor Rew added.
The program is composed of poetry, short stories, essays, one-act plays, music dance, monodramas, radio scripts, and art. Original dances, conceived and executed under the supervision of the department of physical education, are also presented.
All contributions for the Apolliad should be turned in to the School of Speech office, 126 Old College, early in February. Students enrolled in any college of the university are eligible, and urged, to submit manuscripts, according to Professor Rew. Announcement of the Apolliad is made now to give students an opportunity to prepare manuscripts.
Works are read by the Apolliad committee which makes its selection of the material to be included in the program. Authors of the works chosen are then consulted on how they wish it to be presented.
The Apolliad will be held in Bovard with Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid presiding early in May At the program are present people prominent in the fields of music, literature, and art who act as guest critics. After the program, these critics write out their cricti-cisms and suggestions of the various works and send them to the School of Speech, where the student contributors have access to actual professional criticism.
In the past, suggestions for the successful sale of stories and plays given in the Apolliad have been given by the critics.
Students desiring additional information can obtain lt at the School of Speech office. 126 Old College.
St. Paul Schools
ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 1. (U.E) — A strike of the city’s public school teachers headed into its second week tonight with little prospect of an early settlement.
Picketing of the city’s 71 public schools, closed to 30,000 grade and high school students, will be resumed in the morning after temporary abandonment of the patrols for the Thanksgiving weekend.
Negotiations had proceeded no farther than when they broke off Friday night after the teacher’s joint council (AFL) walked out of settlement discussions charging that the city council “refused to back up with action its agreement for a better school program.’’

Architecture Library Holds Wealth of Colorful Displays
Volumes that contain colored plates showing art and architecture of primitive tribes, the middle ages, and modem art can be found in the architecture library.
“A wealth of material makes it difficult to select any-one outstanding book,” stated Mrs. Eleanor S. Wheatly, director of the library.
One of the most highly prized set of books in the library is “Survey of Persian Art,” Arthur Pope. Six volumes of ancient Persian art show colored plates of carpets, pottery, and tapestries. Each detail of the designs are carefully and colorfully depicted.
Collections of Chinese, Korean, and Persian pottery are also beautifully illustrated in “Eumorfopoulos Collection.”
CHINESE OPERA
An expedition to the Chinese Gobi desert returned with pictures of ancient Chinese opera and stage sets. Herbert Stowitts, artist, was on the expedition and made pictures of the colorful costumes. He later put the pictures in book form and donated it to SC.
“Die Galerien'' contains reproductions of paintings by all the old masters from the art galleries of Europe. These paintings are all colored.
American art and architecture is covered in every phase. “American Art Portfolios” deals with the early American art. Books on colonial architecture are also available. SPECIAL COLLECTION
Special collections of the library include 5,000 Alinari. These Alinari are mounted plates of the finest historical buildings throughout the world.
Reproductions of world famous paintings, buildings, and scenery, can be found in the postcard collection.
Opening of the architecture library in 1823 was made possible by Alfred E. Rosenheim, retired architect. The library was first located in the music building, and in 1925 moved to the cinema building. In 1939, it was moved to its present location in Harris hall.
COMPLETE SETS
“Our aim in this library is to keep as complete a set of books that cover all types of material in the field of art and architecture,” Mrs. Wheatly stated.
Over 5,000 volumes, 1.000 periodicals and bound magazines, are on the shelves of the library. A clipping file of everything from acoustics to zoos is also maintained for the service of the students.
