Blood Donation Signups Begun By Red Cross
An American Red Cross campaign to collect 2000 pints of blood a month for use in local hospitals gets under way today at 9 am. when signup booths for volunteer donors open in front of Bovard auditorium.
SC’s quota of 250 donors to give one pint of blood each has been approved by the campus chapter. A Red Cross mobile blood-donor unit will visit the campus on Oct. 23 to collect blood from students who volunteer during the campaign which will continue until Tuesday.
*000 W HOLE PINTS
All blood donated will go to hospitals in the Los Angeles area. The district Red Cross has been asked to collect 2000 pints of whole blood a month for distribution in local | hospitals. The donor campaign will cover other colleges and universities to supply veterans in the area who need 1000 pints of blood a month to fill minimum requirements.
The mobile donor unit will set up headquarters in the social room of Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall, Oct. 23. and will be open from 1 to 5 p.m. This is the only date that the unit
Trojan Press Named by ACP As Outstanding
The Daily Trojan has been named All-American again by the Associated Collegiate Press in its semi-annual awards presented to the most outstanding college newspaper throughout the country.

The Pacemaker award, which is the top award, was presented to seven schools th& year. SC won the top honor in 1945, when Bill Griffith and Jack Estes were editors. Los Angeles City college was thc only west coast college to win the top prize this year.
Awards are presented semi-annually by the A.C.P. The awards just released were based on papers published during the second semester. 1946-47. Ed Prize r was editor of the Trojan during this semester.
Hours of women who volunteer to maintain the signup booth are: 10 am., Irene Bergum. Anne Harris; 11 am.. Phelps; 1 p.m., Bergum. Harris; 2 and 3 p.m, Jordan. Complete list of assignments will appear in tomorrow’s Daily Trojan.

800 LAST YEAR
Record set for war years by mobile units on campus was 800 donors during a two-day campaign. SC averaged seven donors a week to the blood collection unit operating in Pershing Square last year.
Donors can designate the type of hospital where they want their blood sent. If a veteran's hospital is chosen, the donor will receive a card receipt from the veteran who uses the blood. Blood-bank books will be given to each donor. Tlie bank book allows the donor to receive an equal amount of blood, if needed, free of charge. He will also assure himself and any member of his family priority at all hospitals using Red Cross blood.
Clayton Lane, chairman of the local blood donor drive, emphasized the need for a campus-wide participation during the drive.
Only requirement asked of donors is that they be at least 18 years old; those under 21 are requested to present a release signed by their parents. Under-age releases are not necessary during the signup period but must be presented when the mobile unit visits campus

Moore Accents Movies' Power
‘ Motion pictures have the greatest capability of affecting society,” Harris C. Moore, acting head of the cinema department, said yesterday afternoon during an LAS lecture held in University library.
“They incorporate all arts and sciences and, as a medium of expression, can portray four out of five of the basic senses, excluding only the sense of smell."
THREE BASIC LINES There are . three basic lines along which motion pictures are developed. Mr. Moore pointed out. First, they produce the eighth largest commodity in the United States. Secondly, as a craft they have developed a peculiar technique of their own. And lastly, motion pictures are a powerful course in that they mold and reflect the people of the time.	•s,
To demostrate his lecture Mr. Moore showed movies, most of which he had taken himself. A wide variety of subject matter was screened at speed ranges of from one every four hours to 5000 per second. Flowers were shown as they developed from a bud to a full-spread plant. Beans, which normally take 20 days to grow, were seen going through the entire sprouting phase in a matter of a few seconds, due to the extremely slow speet of the camera.
BRITISH FILMS When questioned about the rising popularity of British films in tliis country, Mr. Moore replied. “Britain produces from 250 to 300 pictures annually. We only see about 20 of their best and compare them with the poorest of approximately 400 produced in Hollywood."
He believes British pictures aie outstanding in miagination and originality but in the technical phases of production “we are superior to any other nation in the industry."
The lecture was the second of a group sponsored by the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences in their Wednesday lecture series. Next week Dr. Theodore Hsi-En Chen, professor of Asiatic studies, will speak on the experiences he has had recently in China.

tries, has asked for a delegation from each college and university in the southland area for the purpose of improving the student’s plight in war-torn countries. These various committees consist of student body officers, campus organizations and outside social clubs.
Martin Hall, a recent arrival from an extended tour of the Balkans, Germany and France, will give an eye-witness report of the economic and political conditions prevailing in Europe. Dr. Gilbert Brighouse will follow Mr. Hall to the speakers platform and give a brief discussion of the need for student relief in foreign countries.
An open panel discussion consisting of visiting foreign students who are close to the problems of their various countries, will be moderated by Paul Moritz, a distinguished lecturer who has recently returned from China. At the conclusion of the panel, Mr. Moritz will turn the meeting over to the National Student’s Association, who will present the plans and organization of the NSA.
Students who have worked with the WSSF, and new students who are interested in the organization are urged to attend.
Elections No Fun—Galentine
When asked to explain his duties as elections commissioner yesterday, Norm Galentine replied with a laconic, “I'm the goat of every vote, but I enjoy my ‘thankless job' anyway.”
‘'There are a milhon-and-one things to do during an election,” continued Galentine, “and the responsibility rests entirely on the shoulders of the elections commissioner.” In elaborating on this point he stated some of the duties in-vr'ved.
The election commissioner s primary duty is supervising the two main school elections; the freshman class election in the fall, and the general student body election in the
1 spring. The first mile of red tape according to Galentine, Ic used up
in, getting the registration books ready.
“After the books are procured,” he continued, “the commissioner must appoint an election commission of 10 students. This group helps the commissioner just before election time, and acts as his right hand man on election days. Later, they count the votes and submit the results to the senate for ratification.”
After the election commission is appointed the ball really starts rolling, according to Galentine. Ballots are printed, booths are acquired from the university operations and maintenance department, and the 2-dav election period is under way.
“Our main difficulty,” said Galen-une. "is getting enough voting
booths. Last year we had 10, which was about half as many as we needed. This is probably the main reason why the election procedure was rather slow last year: people didn’t like to wait in line.”
When asked his opinion regarding the popular suggestion that numbers on student body cards be used in place of the registration book system. Galentine said. “Sure, it would bring more votes in, but it also invites the possibility of an unfair election. With the use of registration books, the student body and tlie candidates are assured of a fair election. If student numbers were the only requirement, there would be a possibility, as we all know, of a student voting more than once.’*
Troy Begins Quiz Cram'
All Trojans are challenged to start ‘‘cramming’’ for a special quiz program on the pertinent facts about SC to be held this Friday noon in Bovard auditorium.
Under the sponsorship of the new LAS council, the k n o w-your-uni-versity committee is presenting the first in a series of KYUC attractions to be held this year. Cid Rieras, chairman of the know-your-university committee, has disclosed that as an added incentive a row of student seats on the 50-yard-line for the Oregon State game will be reserved for the winning contestants.
Simple questions will be asked on SC football yells and general Information concerning the University. Answers to the questions can be found in the 1947 SC student handbook. All students are urged to attend this quiz show, and it is emphasized that all contestants will be chosen at random from the audience.
“These quiz shows are intended to be a shot in the arm for the inadequate school spirit usually seen on Saturdays,” Rieras remarked.
The program has the approval of Neil D. Warren, dean of men, and the cooperation of the Trojan Knights and radio station KUSC.
Rieras added that this “very entertaining program will also be in-livened by music.” He invited all Trojans to “come in, have a seat, and have a good time.”
Engineer Nominees Named at Assembly
Jim Young and Harold Knopp were the only candidates nominated for the offices of president and vice-president of the College of Engineering yesterday at an assembly in Touchstone theater.
Vieing for the office of secretary-treasurer are Wayne Chiappe and Charlie Reisenhouse.
Candidates must return petitions by Monday to Norm Galantine, elections commissioner, at the Knight office, it was announced.

KOTLER ARGUES Al Kotler countered with more arguments against application of the procedure to the local situation. When it appeared that the senate might have io listen to a “filibuster,” the question was called.
Kotler had previously denied Dob-kin’s allegations that a two-party system obtained at SC and that such a system had shown itself to be less desirable than a system wherein a candidate might run on his merits.
