Poor Student Support Perils War Memorial
Poor support by individual students for the Trovet’s Living War Memorial scholarship fund was given by Trovet President Bob Padgett as the main reason for the drive contributions failing to live up to advanced expectations.
“Cooperation from student organizations, faculty, and the "	administration lias been wonderful.

He added that research there will complement work done at the present jet propulsion laboratory under government contract.
Padgett said.
“Without their support, the drive cannot be a success. Everyone prais-: es the idea, but their praises must ■ be backed up by each person do-I nating his share.”
Padgett said that campus group*
: all over the country are watching • and awaiting the results of the memorial fund drive at SC. Inquiries from as far east as New | York and Indiana have been re-i ceived by the Trovets concerning ; the progress of the drive.
“With such attention centered on i us. we must show the nation that j | Troy has a heart as well as a j | fighting spirit. Let's give the other ; { campus groups the confidence they j | need to start such funds themselves t , by making ours a success,’’ said : j Padgett.
Three student organizations have I j reached their quota so far. Phi Sig- j ! ma Sigma and Alpha Omicron sor- : j orities. and Sigma Phi Epsilon fra- , i temity were named as 100 per cent j contributors. Other student organi- I zations are nearing the 100 per cent i mark. However, despite the "excel- ! lent" contributing of organizations,; only slightly over S15O0 of the S10,- !

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica. Dec. 12—(UP)—The government tonight said that Costa Rica will hold off its counterattack against the invaders from the north until the Pan-American union decides whether to intervene in the three-day-old war. j Script\, Costa Rica has appealed to the organization for protection

Problems of radio writing will be explained to SC students in a symposium tonight by five top professionals in the field.
The symposium, "The Challenge of Radio Writing,-’ will be presented in Hancock auditorium at 8 p.m. under the direction of Leona Wilson, in charge of radio writing classes.
It is the first of a series of programs designed to bring about closer and more practical working relations between students of radio and the profession.
SPEAKERS LISTED
Heading the speakers' list is True Boardman. director, producer and free lance writer who works on “Lux Theater.” “Screen Guild,” I “Woodbury Hollywood Playhouse-’ and other shows.
His topic will be “The Philosophy j ol the Radio Writer.’’ He will also i more#
present a summary of the program J-
and answer questions from the audience.

| There's a familiar saying j campus, that “you really gone through SC if you ; had a course from Baxter.’’
May it oe added at this time j I that “you really haven’t lived if j : you haven’t attended Baxter's readings of Christmas spirits.”
Baxter, of course, is Dr. Prank C. Baxter, professor of English lan- j guage and literature.
His presentation of Christmas ; stories are a tradition at the univer- : sity.
KEEPS TRADITION
And tomorrow, in Bovard at 3:15, j he’ll keep up that tradition with his annual recital of favorite Christmas stories.
Dr. Baxter does much more than j “read" stories. He puts his heart 1 and soul into them. His eyes twinkle ! and his body shifts from foot to | foot as he interprets each line in j familiar "Baxterian’’ manner. He ! “talks" with his hands.
He is, you will find out. what he i says he is: One of the last senti- j mentalists.
ATTRACTS AUDIENCE
Christmas spirit readings are not | new to him. He's been doing it at j SC for years. Each time he attracts standing-room-only audiences.
This year, as he has done in all j the others, he is not disclosing the j titles of his selections. It takes a j good measure away from the recital if he does, he says.
The volume oI suitable Christmas \erse is limited, ihe adds, and some repetition of previous years is inevitable.
What dos it matter?
It's Baxter, and it’s Christmas. Nobody can really ask for anything
