SC Students Asked To Give Old Apparel In 3-Day Solicitation
Opportunity to help alleviate some of the suffering of peoples throughout the world due to the lack of proper clothing is to be offered SC students next week.
Collections are to be made from Mar. 22 through Mar. 24. The drive is being planned at the beginning of the week so that students going home over the weekend may look through their closets and select any old clothes for which they have no use.
On Sunday. Mar. 21, 200 duffle bags are scheduled to be distributed to all dormitories, fraternities, and sororities. Anything that can be worn will be welcome, it was stressed by Marilyn Esslinger. clothing drive chairman of the university YWCA.
TO BE RECONDITIONED
After the clothing is received it is checked, sterilized, and patched by volunteer workers, but if the apparel is in wearable condition when received, shipment abroad will be greatly expedited.
Duffle bags will be collected Wednesday, Mar. 24. when a truck is sent from Pasadena. Recognition is to be given to the organization donating the most clothing. After ; collection, the clothes will be placed | in the hands of the American Friends service committee, the Quaker group given a joint award of the 1947 Nobel Peace prize.
KRAKOW IS TYPICAL
“Krakow is a bottomless pit for clothing of all kinds.” reads a recent bulletin of the American Friends service committee, “and this Polish city is typical of other cities in war-torn countries."
From all over the world terse communications of a similar nature are being received by humanitarian organizations in this country.
Clothing is distributed to the various countries on basis of need.
World Crisis Prompts Truman To Address Joint Session
WASHINGTON, Mar. 15—(UP)— President Truman, facing the gravest international crisis since World War II ended 31 months ago, will go before a joint session of congress Wednesday to speak on foreign affairs.
His surprise decision was announced by the White House without explanation or elaboration amid a flurry of rumors that he may ask congress for more military strength to confront the westward sweep of Communism.
Only last week Mr. Truman admitted that his confidence in world peace has been somewhat shaken by recent developments abroad—notably the Communist seizure of power in Czechoslovakia.
White House Press Secretary Charles G. Ross said the president will go before the joint session at 10:30 a.m. PDST Wednesday and that his address, lasting 15 to 20 minutes, will be broadcast over all major networks.
Ross refused to say what prompts Mr. Truman to speak out at this time, but the decision was reached after a luncheon meeting of the cabinet and a separate huddle between the president and Secretary of State Marshall.
Marshall, who last week warned congress that the international situation is “very, very serious,” went from the White House meeting to a closed session of the senate foreign relations committee at which he stated bluntly that the world faces a “fateful hour.”

ENGINEERS W ANTED
De Witt Baker's play, “A Trumpeter for Arry,” previewing Thursday evening at 8:30 in Touchstone theater, proves that there is inspiration in Los Angeles. Baker, who will direct his own script, states that his idea evolved from the sight of an old man blowing a trumpet on Adams boulevard.
The plot is woven around a spinster. Ariminta (Arry) Wescott, who waits 55 years with, a woman’s patience for the return of her wandering. trumpet-blowing lover. David.
When her tardy beau finally appears in an ethereal haze that only Arry can penetrate, she upholds the reputation that women have established for tnemselves on this earth by questioning his fidelity.
NEIGHBORS SUSPECT
Fred and Ellen Clinton, who live with Arry, and Mrs. Morse, a neighbor. are much concerned over the old lady's sudden ability to detect the errant David’s return. Their lack of spirit lore prompts them to be concerned over the spinster’s sanity, but true love predominates, and Arry meets David, resplendent with his waxed mustache and brass trumpet.
The story is the first attempt at playwriting for Baker, senior in	_. _

navigator on a B17 with the eighth air force. In his seasons with the Kalamazoo Civic theater he played in “Knickerbocker Holiday” and “Stage Door.”
OWNS THEATER
With the Village Players, a summer theater in Michigan of which Baker is a co-owner, he appeared in “The Bishop Misbehaves” and “Goodbye Again.” At SC he has been seen in “State of the Union” and “G.I. Bill.” among others. He
China s Schools Moved Inland, Says Dr. Ding
The westward migration of Chinese universities during the war years comes up for examination tomorrow afternoon in the art and lecture room of the University library at 3:15.
Dr. Edwin Ding, lecturer in economics at SC. and currently on sabbatical leave from China's Fukien Christian university, will recall the trials and difficulties which Chinese students and faculty members overcame to pull their institutions from the grasp of the Japanese invaders and rebuild them in the safety of Asia’s deep interior.
MOVED INLAND
“Some of the schools were moved as much as 3000 miles.” Dr. Ding said yesterday. “They were taken from Shanghai and other coastal cities and set up as far away as Chengtu and Kunming.” He described the desperate means employed to haul complete buildings and large amounts of equipment inland.
His own university, says the Chinese economist, was hauled out of Foochow* by floating parts of the buildings downriver.
“It was a size smaller when we put it back together,” he smiled.
LACKED EQUIPMENT One of the greatest difficulties described by Dr. Ding was the inability of the Chinese to obtain American scientific equipment, upon which they had depended. They turned to locally-manufactured materials and did the best they could.
“At least.” added the speaker, “the students got to know rural China as well as the cities.”
Dr. Ding, wrho received his doctor’s degree at SC in 1937, was asked to return here last fall when he decided to take leave from Fukien. During the war he traveled to numerous Chinese universities.
The talk is open to students, faculty members, and the genera) public.
