Fagg to Study Bovard Plan'
Before official university action can be taken on improving the facilities of Bovard field, complete ! plans must be submitted to the j President’s office, an administration i spokesman told the Daily Trojan yesterday.
Willis O. Hunter, director of intercollegiate athletics, said earlier this week that he was preparing ! plans for submission to the President’s office and to the Faculty I Athletic committee, j Hunter declined to say when these plans would be completed or w hat they contained.
“Plans for the improvement of I Bovard field or for any other university facilities are subject to the I long range planning program of the university,” the official said.
COST CONSIDERED
He said that it would be impossible to issue any definite commitments on the Bovard field plan until President Fagg studies the proposal in relation to costs and allocation of space.
“Every division of the university is in need of expansion,” the of-i ficial contnued, “and wTe must care-j lully consider what projects we will spend our limited funds on.
“Of course, final approval of any j plans rests with the Board of Trustees."
B\RRY COMMENTS
Head Baseball Coach Sam Barry I said yesterday that SC probably would play all its home baseball games on Bovard field and that some improvement in the field's facilities would be forthcoming.
ASSC President Johnny Davis said that the improvement of Bovard field would be a “shot in the arm for Trojan athletics.”
“Students would at last be able to see one major sport played on campus,” Davis commented. “Sup-jiort of the baseball team probably would improve 100 per cent if the

Editorial
How About You?
Since the day we entered this university we have heard student gripes about “childish” student organizations and student governing groups. Much of the time, we have had ample cause for agreeing with the dissidents.
Yet, at times, we have seen these groups come up with ideas that were worthy of every support the student body could give.
Where were the chronic gripers then? We’d hate to say, but it was obvious that they weren’t interested in constructive ideas. The same old weary story is now repeating itself. We have had letter after letter telling us that campus organizations are merely children playing at being adults.
Last week Trovets proposed one of the finest, most forward-looking schemes it has been our pleasure to observe here. It is an adult, unselfish, and brilliantly conceived plan to provide scholarships through individual contributions for the children of men who died in World War II.
Response by the student body should have been immediate and overwhelming. Instead it has been practically nonexistent.
The drive is in danger of stumbling and falling flat on its face unless it gets the united support of the entire student body. Tomorrow has been proclaimed Living War Memorial day by ASSC President Johnny Davis. The SC-Notre Dame pictures will be shown in Bovard auditorium in an effort to spur the drive.
Trovets have done all they can to make the drive a success. Other groups have been staunch in their support. Only you have failed.
It is your privilege to gripe, but we believe the privilege carries with it the responsibility of action. You’ve had your turn at griping, now how about doing something constructive for a change?
We must get back of the Trovet war memorial drive, or we have shown ourselves as something less than adequate citizens in the eyes of the community and of the nation.
tions governing probation and disqualification for unsatisfactory scholarship. These are applicable to undergraduates in all divisions of the university except law, medicine, dentistry, civic center, University College, and Summer Session.
A student registered for seven or more units will be placed on probation if his term average falls below 0.50. Students on probation will be removed from probationary status if they make a term average of 1.00 or higher in a following regular semester or a 10-week Summer Session.
A student will be subject to disqualification from further university study if at the end of his semester of probation he fails to attain a term average of 1.00. Even if not on probation, a student is subject to disqualification if at any time he is found by the student committee to be seriously deficient in academic achievement.
Scholarship chairmen who are unable to check on their members now, may check the cinch notice books during the Christmas vacation. Dr. Zech’s office will be open daily except Thursday afternoons and Friday and Saturday mornings of the vacation period.

Collecting Cig Wrappers Pays
Off in TV Set
What you’ve gotta go through to win a contest! Crawlin’ in gutters, seavengin’ trash, and jilayin’ public janitor; but for the brothers of Sigma Phi Epsi'on, it paid off in a first- prize television set.
The Sig Eps approached a campus cigarettte wrapper collecting contest with the zeal and strategy of a military campaign. Their first ob'eetlve was a switch in brand for all Sig Ep snickers.
The Coliseum and fight rings wsre the next target and their clean-ups after events yielded wrappers.
But the buik of the fraternity’s 28,500 wrappers was gathered under a master plan of operations. Areas on a city map in the house were marked off as the men began to comb the city streets.

SC-lrish Film To Be Shown
by Dan Bagott
Students who failed to see the SC-Notre Dame grid battle and those who have been flitting from thea er to theater in hope of getting a second look at the game in the newsreels may view the game in full color at noon tomorrow in Bovard auditorium.
By presenting receipts from contributions to the Trovet’s Living War Memorial fund all students may attend the premiere of this SC version of “Kiss the Blood Off My j Hands,” starring the Trojan varsity, j commonly known as Angels With ; Dirty Faces.
“This film gives a close-up view j of the action and is one of the best j football movies I’ve seen,” end coach Bob Winslow commented yesterday.
“It shows conclusively that the Irish kept fumbling because they were hit very hard and very often," he said.
According to a Pacific Coast conference rule, the show is exclusively for students, faculty, and alumni. Student identification cards or other suitable proof must be shown at the door.
The Trovets will have booths outside the auditorium to receive donations and provide receipts for those who have not obtained them.
The hour-long picture will be narrated and interpreted by line coach Ray George. He indicated that some of the best plays may be run in slow motion.
It is rumored that the movie of the 14-14 tie is playing in the theaters of South Bend, Ind., under the title “Sorry, Wrong Number.”
Baxter Stories To Usher in Holiday Season
To many, the Christmas season will officially arrive on campus this afternoon at 3:15.
The occasion is the 11th reading of Christmas stories by Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English language and literature.
An SC tradition, the program wnll be in Bovard auditorium this year. In the past, it has been held elsewhere in campus, but last year’s overflow crowd prompted the sponsors, the Council on Religion, to have the program in the auditorium this year.
MODERN INTERPRETATION
As he has done in the past. Dr. Baxter may be expected to interpret each selection as though it were written specifically for today.
His years as a sailor in the British Navy, a soldier in World War I, and a movie actor have given Dr. Baxter a varied past. He is always able to draw upon his memorable experiences, proving constantly to be a source of pleasurable enlightenment.
Last year, he gave “A Christmas Folk Song.” Reese; “The World's Desire,” Cnesterson; “From Far Away,” a 13th-century verse; and "A Ballade of Christmas Ghosts.” MOTIONLESS LISTENERS
He held his listeners motionless with Walter de la Mare's “Three Ghosts Came Riding By,” then had them laughing with him at “The Maid Servant at the Inn,’’ Dorothy Parker.
The limited selection of appropriate Christmas verse causes some repetition. Dr. Baxter said. Students may expect to hear at least one of the above selections today, although the list which he has prepared is secret.

China Reds Linked to USSR
by Dick Curtiss
“It is quite clear that the Communist party in China is a part of the international communist movement and is a Communist party in fact.”
This was the conclusion of Arthur R. Swearingen, lecturer in Asiatic studies, who yesterday addressed an open meeting of the International Relations club on “The Chinese Communist Party, and Its Relationship to the Soviet Union.'
Swearingen, whose four years with the War department include military government service in Oki-nav.a and Tokyo, based his con-i elusions on detailed studies of m j formation published by the Communist International, statements by Mao Tse-tung, Chinese Communist leader, and Joseph Stalin.
HISTORY REVIEWED History of the Chinese Communist party was reviewed from its inception in 1921.
Chiang Kai-shek and Russian Communist Borodin’s coalition rule of China in the revolutionary days j
Chiang threw Russian advisers out | expansion. Our fixed policy should and declared the Communist party be 70 per cent expansion, 20 per
illegal.
Speeches of this period, cited by Swearingen, showed consistent similarity of opinion on China between Stalin and the Communist International to which the Chinese Communist party belonged.
Swearingen also cited a statement made by Stalin in 1927, just before the coalition breakup, which expressed the necessity of cooperating with the right (Chiang). “squeezing him dry like a lemon, and then casting him away.” GROWTH TRACED The grow.il of a Chinese Communist army and the proclamation of a Chinese Soviet republic in 1934 was traced by Swear.ngen.
In 1935 there was talk of a united Kuomintang-Communist party front against the Japanese, who threatened to conquer China. At this time, said Swearingen, Mao Tse-tung issued a new statement of Communist policy:
“The Sino-Japanese war offers
of 1926 was abruptly ended when I our party an excellent chance for
cent dealing with the Kuomintang, and 10 per cent resisting Japan.” REPORT TELLS TENETS
A recent report by Mao Tse-tung, published in March, gives the pres-! ent tenets of Chinese communism.
A Cominform for Asia modeled ; on the Eastern European plan is j proposed.
One indication of present adherence to world communist lines, according to Swearingen, is a reso-| lution adopted by the Executive committee of the Chinese Communist party renouncing Marshal Ttto j for “straying from the Marxist-Len-1 in line of international communism and failing to accept the valid criticism of the Russian Communist j party.”
“The Chinese Communist party,’* j said Swearingen, “should not be ; removed arbitrarily from the category in which all available infor-: mation and its own statement*
I logically place it.’*
