To Terminate
Trojans will have their last chance to participate in the an nual Red Cross Blood Drive today from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
To date only 420 pints have been donated, Blood Drive Chairman Haig Harris said. This is 180 pints below the quota set at the beginning of the drive.
No appointments are necessary, Harris stressed. He added, however, that those with appointments should try to be on time to keep the operation running smoothly.
The best time for those without appointments is between 11 a.nv and 12:30 p-m., he said.
Donations, which he said produce no physical illness to the average person, take only 20 minutes from registration to the refreshments at the end.

News Staff Will Relax
Old time minstrel singing will reverbrate through Bovard Auditorium on March 25 when the New Christy Minstrel Singers come to USC for an AWS-AMS sponsored program, Jack Gleason, ASSC Special Events Committee chairman, announced yesterday.
Tickets for the 8:30 p-m. performance will go on sale Wednesday in front of the Student Union from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and at the box office the night of the performance.
Prices will range from $2 for ground floor seats to $1.50 for balcony seating.
Fourteen banjo and guitar twanging singers, led by the group’s founder, Randy Sparks, will perform for the first time at Troy.
Sparks, a solo folk singer who occasionally strays into the realm of popular music, and a leader of the Randy
Sparks Three, has led the group into a guest appearance on the Steve Allen Show and a regular spot on the Andy Williams Show.
One member of the Minstrels describes the groups as, “Not just singers, or a choir, or sing-along group, but a new concept of an all-but-forgotten tradition.
The group is entirely composed of young people, with Sparks, at 28, the oldest member of the Minstrels. The remaining 13 singers range from 21 to 24 yaers old.
It was Christy’s minstrels who sang, shouted, played and popularized songs like “Old Folks at Home,” “Oh, Susanna” and “Camptown Races.”
An exclusive contract with Columbia Records started the New Christy Minstrels going.
However, Sparks had began his singing career while In college.
Sparks made his first appearance at the Purple Onion in San Francisco, and since then has been booked at the Blue Angel in New York, the entire Playboy Club circuit and on several Bob Hope television shows.
He has been seen as an actor in two motion ipctures, and his song of “Strange are the Ways of Love” earned him an Oscar nomination in 1960 for the best motion picture title tune.
Performing with Sparks will be Jackie Miller, plectrum and five-string banjo; Nick Woods, guitar; Terry Wadsworth, guitar; Billy Cudmore, five-string banjo; Art Podeli, guitar; Dolan Ellis, six and 12-string guitar; Jerry Yester, five-string banjo; Karol Dugan, guitar, and John Forsha, six and 12-string guitar.
Music School faculty members will be featured performers in the 12th annual Koldofsky memorial scholarship concert tomorrow night at 8:30 in Bovard Auditorium.
Members of the School of Music faculty will perform and conduct in tribute to violinist Adolph Koldofsky, who died in 1951.

K. 218, by Mozart: and harpsichordists Alice Ehlers, emerites professor of music; and student Malcolm Hamilton in the Concerto in C Major for two harpsichords and Strings by Bach.

JOHN FRASER
, opposed Oxford
The position of women as „ rulers of society will be the question under debate when a debating team from Glascow university, Scotland, meets a USC team Monday at 7:30 p.m. in Hancock Auditorium.
Taking the negative position will be USC’s David Hunter, graduate student in law, and John Fraser, graduate in English.
Arguing for the affirmative will be two Scottish students, David Miller and William S. Mann.
The question to be argued is not whether society is in fact ruled by women, but whether or not this is something to be deplored.
Hunter Honored
Hunter, presently studying in the Law School under a scholarship, was chosen in 1952 by the Institute of International Education to represent American universities on a debating tour of Australia and New Zealand.
The tour, sponsored by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation, was the first one in that area in which Americans had participated in 25 years. The team won all adjudicated debates.
In 1957, after pursuing international studies in several European schools, Hunter was appointed director of research to Gov. Goodwin J. Knight, where he served as speech writer for the governor and administrative head of research activities of the governor’s office.
F* is currently under contract to Purdue University to co-author a book to be titled “The Corporation and Public Affairs.” It will be an analysis of public attitudes to political statements made within the business community.
Hunter's partner, John Fraser, is a graduate in English.
Fraser was a member of the team that placed first in the 1959 district one qualifier, a contest in which the best teams from universities in the Far West fight for the privilege of appearing at the National Debate Tournament, held annually at West Point.
After graduation, Fraser returned to debating as a member of the team which opposed Oxford on the USC campus in 1960.
He is currently serving in the department of speech as instructor on public address and forensics.
Scottish Contestant
Scottish contestant Miller, a first year divinity student, holds an MA degree in political economy and economic history. He serves as chairman of the Scottish Students Debating Committee and as governor of debates of the Glascow University Union.
William S. Mann, second member of the Glascow team, is a fifth-year medical student at Glascow. From 1961 to 1962 he was convenor of the Library of Glascow and a deputy speaker of the House from 1962 to 1963.

A policy for expelling members from men’s service organizations guilty of "unbefitting” conduct was adopted by the AMS yesterday.
Treading cm the heels of the recent water fight incident that resulted in an auto accident on the Row, the action was taken upon the recommendation of Assistant Dean of Students Tom Hull, AMS President Hal Stokes said.
"The dean’s staff has seen members of such organizations participating in water fights and felt such conduct ‘unbefitting, ’ ” Stokes explained.
Expelled
According to the new statute, “members found guilty of such conduct shall be expelled from said organization upon the of the AMS cabinet or that organization’s cabinet and their adviser.”
The approved statute also clarifies and explains the rules for selecting new members in the servic organization.
Under the rules the AMS president, his cabinet, the Knight Selection Board and the dean of students shall set the application dates, supervise the testing centers and determine the type of test to be given for selecting members into the groups.
Repeated Test
“Last year the Trojan Squire test was given five times and applications for Knights and Squires were not available at the same time,’* Stokes said.
The new statute states that there will be only one make-up test that will be given only in cases of severe emergencies and illnesses.
Applications for membership will open for two weeks following the spring vacation. Abolition Threat The statute provided that any organization violating the "selection procedures, misconduct codes or that does not carry out the functions required of any university service organization” may be abolished by a majority vote of the AMS council and two-thirds vote of the AMS cabinet.
Such action will, however, be subject to the approval by the dean of students, Stokes added.
Members of the AMS Cabinet applying for membership in service groups will be inelibi-ble to participate in the selection of members, Stokes explained.
Row Probe Continues
An IFC investigative report on the fraternity row water bombing incident last Friday should be completed today, IFC Chief Justice Dennis Barr said yesterday.
Barr pointed out that "final touches are now being added to the report’’ although no new information wras made available. Four people were injured in the incident, including two USC coeds.
A separate investigation is also being carried on by the dean of students’ office, Tom Hull, assistant dean of students, said yesterday.
