Liqueur Sets, Vases, Bowls, On Display
Modernism keynotes the ceramics of Vivika and Otto Heino on display this month at the Fisher Gallery of Fine Arts.
The vases, bowls, ashtrays, and liqueur and demi-tasse sets exhibited illustrate adaptation of modern technical proficiency, tone, and design in an ancient craft.
The Heinos, who were producing pottery in the mountains of New Hampshire, came here recently as instructors on the recommendation of Dr. Glenn Lukens, professor of fine arts.
More subtle in color than most California pottery, the Heino’s work reflects the influence of mountain tones. Miss Winifred Poingdestre, gallery director, admires the functionality and plain design of the pieces.
“The potery is almost classical in severity, and it escapes the tortured effect of much modern art,” she said.
Among the items is a unique liqueur set: a bottle and six brandy glasses.
Faculty-Staff Chest Drive Lags Behind
A third set of reminder cards from the campus Community Chest headquarters has been sent to the staff and faculty in the hope of bolstering the lagging campus drive.
So far only 25 per cent of the $3750 goal has been reached. Campus drive officials hope to hit the $3750 mark by Friday, the end of the SC drive.
“Contributions for the Community Chest drive are coming in slowly and we hope they will start coming in faster,” said Donald Searcy, director of the extension division, and co-chairman of the Chest drive.
Campus Mail
Donations can be sent to the Chest through the campus mail or the University post office to 259 Administration.
The Chest emphasizes that the generosity of donors will prove a a sound investment since 80 per cent of the funds go directly to needy Los Angeles children.
Any contribution is welcome although drive officials are asking for eight minutes’ wages per week for 50 weeks of work. For a person earning $1 an hour this scales to a $6.50 contribution; for $2 an hour. $13; and tor $3 an hour, $19.50.
Goal Increased
The scale of contributions is larger this year since the Los Angeles goal has been raised $1 million due to inflationary prices and the increased birth rate.
The Community Chest has been making it a policy to concentrate upon drives at a person’s place of business rather than house-to-house or general area drives.
This year SC is the chairman institution for all colleges and universities in the Los Angeles area. Co-chairmen are Donald Searcy and Carl Hancey, dean of University College.

NO KIDDING THIS TIME
Record Total of 1088 Volunteers Pledged; Center Opens at 10:30
SC’s four-day Red Cross Blood Drive gets underway at 10:30 this morning in the basement of Town and Gown Dormitory with a record-breaking 1088 students and faculty signed up to donate. Yesterday’s pledges pushed totals into the four-figure mark for the first time in any previous campus blood drive, Co-chairman Shirley Merriam and Jack
announced.
The blood center is located, today through Friday, just across from Doheny library, 666 36th street, and will be open from 10:-30 to 2:20 daily.
Schedule Convenient
“It is most important for students to be on time for their appointments." Miss Merriam pointed out. “The donation schedule has been arranged for the students’ convenience.”
The Red Cross booth in front of the Student Union will remain open all day today for last-minute donors, she said.
“Give the GIs an even break with death by donating your blood. ’ said Robert Glenn, member of the Los Angeles Red Cross board of directors and College Council adviser, in urging SC to meet its campaign quota of 880. Invites Drop-Ins “Drop-ins can maintain a constant flow of donations,” he said, explaining that donation facilities will permit 17 students to donate at one time.
Students who are not signed up may drop in and contribute during their spare time,” Glenn pointed out. “There is always room for a couple more.”
For those who will donate during the four-day period, Glenn cautioned:
Advice
“Eat your meals as usual the day of your donation and be sure to eat something within four hours of the time of your appointment.”
Refreshments will be served to
donors.
“Donating blood is one of the most worthwhile gifts you could contribute to the cause, in Korea and here at home,” Glenn said.
“One of the decisive factors in saving lives of countless of our brave men wounded on Korean battlefronts,” he said, “is the use of whole blood.”
L. A. Quota High The Los Angeles Red Cross blood center recently received a record quota from the Department of Defense, Glenn said. The weekly amount needed by the military forces in Korea is the largest since the first Christmas in the Far East.
Leading contenders for the three campus trophies offered each year for organizations donating the greatest percentage are the AFROTC and NROTC. In campus living groups, last spring's winners were the Pi Beta Phis.

rojans View Armistice Day Soberly
by Bob Frenette
Amt-rica today celebrates the th tnniversary of the conclusion World War I. But has Armis-4ay lost its significance? students and faculty mem-vere asked in a random sur-“What does Armistice day mean to you?” Responses in-ite that the holiday has lost h of its meaning.
Hoss Sonne, graduate student English, views the day pessi-listically.
Tragic Reminder ‘Today is important in that it jninds one of the tragedy of war,” he said, “particularly at a time when we are being pushed into World War III. The futility of war and the irony of the holi-are obvious inasmuch as the who fought for democracy pparently died in vain.” feeling being built up help leading to war.” he nued. ‘The fact that the me-of communication are slanted 'ard animosity precludes at-inment of international under-tanding.”
Richard Oshman, a senior law tudent, hopes the celebration will ot be a parody.
‘It seems incongruous at this
time to be celebrating the end of the first of two great wars,” he said. “I am apprehensive that we are on the threshold of a third."..
Richard Condon, instructor in English, thinks the significance of the holiday “has disappeared from the American consciousness.” “America has finally matured to the same viewpoint which Hemingway and Dos Passos held during the World War," he said. “It is to be hoped that Americans mature even beyond that point.” Jim Walker, senior in journalism. replied simply:
“The world cries for peace and there is no peace.”
“What Is It?”
Audrey Senelick and Beverly Steel, both freshmen, were questioned at the foot of Tommy Trojan.
“What is it?” Audrey asked her companion.
“It's a holiday, and I believe we should have more of them,” Beverly answered.
Tony Ward, chairman of the Greater University committee, regards today as “ a good time to come to the realization that peace is possible.”
“It is almost sacrilegious to celebrate a day of peace when the economy is geared for war,”
he said. “Yet World War III is not inevitable and we should remember that.”
Private War
For Bob Rhodes, a graduate student, today is personally humorous.
"On Armistice day my father-in-law’ and mother-in-law were married, and my father-in-law insists the war started, not stopped, on that day.”
Jack Warner, a freshman, expressed a universal hope.
“Would it be wishful thinking to hope that Nov. 11, 1952 will go down in history as armistice day for the Korean war?”
No Exuberance
Jack Nicoll, a senior in LAS, thinks today should not be celebrated exuberantly.
“In view of the current world tension, the holiday has lost much of its meaning,” he said.
Both Don Denis and Louis Regan, seniors, believe that World War II made today a holiday without significance.
"Why not an armistice day for the scc.nd, a bigger and costlier war?” they asked.
Others, declining permission to use their names, said “we should
get up to date by celebrating the end of World War II.” Another, who proposed the same modernization, asked:
“If we celebrate the end of every world war, how many such holidays can we expect to have?” Faculty members tend to view today as a time for rededication. Dr. Melvin J. Vincent, chairman of the Sociology department, sees a necessity for “keeping faith with those who have died in the battle for world peace.” .
“Every Armistice day renews hope that a plan for world peace may soon be inaugurated,” he said.
Original Armistice Day
Dr. Carlton C. Rodee compared today with the original.
“November 11, 1918 was a day of elation and confidence,” he recalled. “There was faith that the ‘war to end all w’ar’ had succeeded and that universal peace and democracy were inevitable.”
“But it was our first contact with world leadership, and we were overconfident,” Rodee said. “Now, on this day of rededication, our hopes are more sober. We realize that the achievement of peace and freedom demands resolve. realism, patience; everyone must work for them,” he said.
Wampus, which has been threatening to come out for several weeks, will finally make its fall debut tomorrow morning.
That was the word from the Student Union roof yesterday, where Editor Perry Snell is staked out, determined to remain there until the Wamp comes out. Snell apparently is enjoying his stay on the roof, although his ego was jolted somewhat yesterday when a seagull asked him for a date.
Tomorrow at 10
The Wampus will come out tomorrow morning at 10, with advance sale ticket holders assured of a copy. More than 1500 advance sale ducats were sold, leaving only 1000 for street sales, circulation manager Jim Paul announced.
The Wamp sells for 25 cents a copy.
A rally will be held next Thursday at noon to determine which of the advance ticket holders wins the night of dinner and dancing for two at the Coconut Grove.
Snell explained the latest delay in the Wamp’s appearance as another censorship review.
Cleaned Up?
“We had the sheet pretty well cleaned up,” Snell said “but the linotype operators put in some jokes of their own. Naughty jokes, they were.”
Snell swore on a stack of old Wampus issues that tomorrow’s magazine was the “funniest ever to hit SC.” Ad manager Arnold Luster said he thought the Wamp was the “funniest ever to hit SC.” Publicity chairman Arnold Fazekas, who has a mind of his owrn, said he thought the coming magazine wras the “funniest ever to hit Troy.”
Short stories, articles, pin-ups, cartoons, and some arty drawings
by Bill Seelig make up the editor-1 ial content of the Wamp.
The ads are even funny, according to Luster.
Vultch Hatching On SU Roof, City Ed Learns
A strange cracking noise was heard late last night on the roof atop the Daily Trojan’s Student Union penthouse.
“GaUzooks," exclaimed DT City Editor Stanislaus Kiefer, a quizzical expression .on his gnarled mug, and promptly he sent one of his henchmen to investigate.
The sleuth returned to the DT garret, his face a milky white, his body trembling.
“T-t-there’s a h-h-huge egg on the roof, and it-it’s c-cracking open,” said the distraught chap.
“One moment my good man,” said Kiefer, himself beginning to tremble noticabiy.
“It’s a big purple egg,” continued the reporter, regaining some of his composure.
Donning his surplus Krash helmet, kourageous Kiefer climbed to the roof to investigate.
A broad, nefarious smile on his face, lie returned with the news that the 1952 Vulture was about ready to hatch and there was no need for fear, except for those who have been leading a shady life of late.

Deadline Set for UCLA Tickets
Activity card holders must turn in their SC-UCLA stub for rooters’ tickets by Wednesday to be sure of getting into the Coliseum for the cross-tow/i tilt.
“Rooters’ tickets may be obtained through Wednesday,” said John Morley, ticket manager.
“We are already beginning to fill mail order tickets with seats under the Peristyle,” he said.
The Bruin ticket office is handling the over-all statistics on the ticket sales since UCLA is the home team. The number of tickets already sold is not yet available.
Lou Zamperini To Relate Life
Louis Zamperini, one of Troy’s greatest pre-war track stars and a World War II veteran, will tell his fantastic life story tonight at 7 to the SC chapter of the Crusade for Christ at the Kappa Sigma fraternity house.
Zamperini will tell his hectic experiences as a Japanese prisoner of war for two and one-half years, as well as his accomplishments as a distance runner for SC and the U.S. Olympic team.
While in high school, Zamperini earned a position on the Olympic track team, and during the 1936 Olympics in Berlin he created an International incident. Looking for a souvenir, he tore down Adolf Hitler’s private swastika from the Chancellery. He still has the flag.
MarinesOkay Law Students
The Marine Corps has opened its platoon leaders program to law students. Major John Finn Jr.. NROTC Marine instructor, announced yesterday.
Previously law students were barred from the platoon leaders class with an accompanying exemption from the draft. The rescinding order will make law students acceptable provided they already have three years of study behind them.
Students enrolled in a six-year law course are eligible for the class during their fourth and fifth years of study. Those enrolled in a seven-year course are eligible during their fourth, fifth, and sixth year of study.
Following graduation, candidates are assured of a three-month delay in assignment to active duty in order to complete state bar examinations. Applicants will then be assigned two years' duty in the Marine Corps in a legal capacity.
