SC Red Cross Blood DriveContinuesToday
First Day s Donations Total 132 Pints as 40 Turned Away
As SC's four-day Red Cross Blood Drive moves into its second day of donations at 10 this morning, Co-chairmen Shirley Merriam and Jack Cashin announced that first day donations total 132 pints.
“We could have had an even better showing but at least 40 students were turned away because they didn’t have witness signatures on their green parent-release slips,” Cashin explained.
“Anyone can sign as a witness,” he said, “but students must have their slips countersigned.”

Among the first to contribute were Dr. Pussell L. Caldwell, associate professor of history, and his wife.
“We may have predicted a little incorrectly on the election.” he said, “but there’s still a war going on in Korea, and the men in the service can certainly use our blo>»d.”
Two other early donors were John Vasseur. AWS vice-president. and Warren Clendenning, Junior class president.
First Time “This is my first time,” Miss Vasseur was heard saying, but after donating she said, “It wasn’t half as bad as I had imagined, I’ll be back again next year.”
The blood center is located in the basement of Town and Gown dormitory, just across from Doheny library, 666 36th street.
continue until Friday afternoon.
“Drop-ins are the only way we can maintain a constant flow of donations,” Miss Merriam pointed out. “We have facilities for 17 students to donate at one time.” “Nobody was turned away because of lack of accommodations,” Cashin said, “but please come in during the morning hours if at all possible because it is the least crowded then.”
Request Made Student groups are requested to make their donations at this time also, he said.
“There is always a last day rush during a blood drive,” Miss Merriam warned and she asks students to be sure and contribute today or tomorrow.
“Refreshments are served to donors.” she said, “and the entire
New hours for donations are j process takes less than a half-from 10 to 2:40 and the drive will hour of your time.”
Salt in Wounds or Rain in the
v
Face; Stanford Got Clobbered
“When it rains it pours” and the salt is being poured on Stanford Coach Chuck Tay lor V wounds.
Dean of Students Bernard L. Hyink yesterday challenged a reported statement by Taylor that his school faced scholastic problems schools in the southern part of the state did not have to meet.
Dean Hyink bluntly said that if Taylor was not misquoted “a correction of his statement should be made.”
Taylor, at the regular Monday Football Writers meeting in San Francisco, was quoted as saying “we have scholastic problems that srtiools in the South don't face. We (Stanford) have higher entrance requirements.’’
In his reply to the statement. Dean Hyink drew attention to the fact that SC requires students to graduate in the upper half of their high school class “whereas Stanford requires various grade averages which may or may not fall within the upper half.”
“Both universities also provide for admission by examination. except SC requires an applicant to be a high school graduate to take the examination while Stanford does not,” Dean Hyink said.
Stanford's Indians, last year’s Pacific Coast Conference champions and Rose Bowl representative, were beaten 54 to 7 last Saturday by SC.
What's Wrong? They Were Pink ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Reds Scorn Panty Raids
Fred Harper, former editor of the El Rodeo, was tarred and feathered by the administration last semester because he “had written against policy encouraged by the university administration of raiding the dormitories of women students for underwear.”
This accusation and a picture of Harper, tarred and feathered, appeared in “USA. In Wort und Bild.” (in words and pictures) a communist magazine published in East Germany. The incident, says the magazine,” show’s the degeneration of American society.”
“Not only SC. but other institutions, and phases of American life are viciously attacked by this magazine.” explained Harold von Hofe, head of the department of German.

Columbia university was called a “breeding ground for militarism.” The only reason Eisenhow'er was president of the university, according to the magazine, was *‘to militarize the academic youth, which is representative of all American campuses."

100 Magazines “The unbelievable thing about it.” von Hofe continued, “is that this is only one of a 100 such magazines which are read throughout East Germany, Russia, China, and other communist-dominated countries.
“Most of the older people in Germany realize how ridiculous and absurd these things are, but there are millions of children who are exposed to nothing else.—and consequently grow up believing that the U.S. is a land of gangsters and murders.”

“Both Eisenhow’er and Stevenson are tools of Wall Street capitalists, who want to conquer ew markets.”

Some of the pictures are taken from American magazines and given distorted meanings, von Hofe said, many other are “staged” by the propagandists them-

Senators to Be Asked for Gift Lift Approval
ASSC Senators will be asked to approve an “Operation Gift Lift” drive on campus when they meet at 7 tonight in 418 SU.
“Operation Gift Lift” is a movement to provide Christmas gifts for servicemen in Korea. The Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the drive in the Los Angeles area and will transport the gifts collected to Korea.
Commerce major George Burns, who is promoting the movement at SC, is asking that student organizations participate in the drive, and he has requested that the Senate give formal approval to the gift collecting on campus. If the Senate approves, gifts for the servicemen in Korea will be collected Nov. 19-21.

Homecoming activities will be reviewed tonight w-hen Chairman Ken Flower gives the final report of the Homecoming committee. Flower will tell the Senators how each phase of Homecoming was accomplished, give a financial accounting, and give recommendations for future Homecoming weeks.
Three additions to the ASSC By-laws are to be considered tonight. Two were introduced at the last meeting and will come up for final discussion and a vote. One of these is an addition to the election rules making the defacing of university, public or private property a violation punishable by fines.
Inactive Orgs
The other gives the Committee on Student Organizations the power to recommend that the Senate disband any organization which becomes inactive. The committee has reported that over 200 student organizations recognized by the Senate no longer function.
A third proposed by-law would make the Committee on Student Publications a standing Senate committee and list its powers. This by-law addition is to be introduced for the first time tonight and under the ASSC constitution a vote can not be taken until the next meeting.
Wampus Here: Hucksters Hit Campus Streets
Censors Finally Clear Long-Delayed Rag Editor Gleeful As
Wampus is here.
While Wampus editor Perry Snell was sitting on the Vulture egg on the Student Union roof last night, Willie the Wampus cat made his final preparations for his appearance today at 10 a.m.
Willie said the Wampus will appear under a white banner reaching from University avenue to the top of Student Union.
Of the 2500 copies printed, 1500 are reserved for advance sale ticket holders. The three-color fun publication sells for 25 cents and is expected to sell like Wampus, Snell said.
The feature story concerns a redhead and the Stanford football game. This story was one of those marked most after censors went through it.
The magazine has several pinups and pictures of semi-dressed women. All censored parts are clearly marked in red or yellow for the convenience of the reader, Snell said.
Tom Pflimlin’s masterpiece, “A Man of Letters,” covers two and a half page*/Snell couldn’t give an estimate of reading time, since it depended on how long the reader laughs and how hard. This laugh concerns the entrance attempts of Stinky Lowbucket at the University of Southern Caledonia.
Selected Humor
The jokes are all selected with care by Willie. They are those that would normally appeal to the cat, but most humans find them quite entertaining also. Here’s a sample:
“It’s better to be broke than never to have loved at all.”
Mel Shestack came across with many cartoons. Others handling the art work were Ralf Johnstone, Rick Sargent, Pete Akin, Ron Frank, Don Nice, Hazard, Vidnic, et al.
For those who enjoy drama, there is “The Adler Version” by Iggv Picklewietz. Other contributors are Allen A. Arthur, Dr. Alex Aloia, Dr. Bernard Hyink, Ken Stonier, and Mrs. Malone.
Two Martinis
“Tw’o Martinis” is an intimate story about a pair of stuffed olives and a black satin dress. “I Go Pogo" from the pen of Snelly and Seelig gives the latest adventure of the Okefenokee Swamp gang.
Willie the Wampus cat is on the front cover along with red. blue and gold stripes of the word Wampus.
Bill Seelig is Art Director. Writers are Sandy Schaffell, F. R. Fahnstock, and Ken Shanks. Jim Paul is circulation manager.
The laugh journal ends with “etc.” by Perry Snell. He said yesterday that he worked hard to get the Wampus out but that there is a girl who said she will do practically anything to get into Wampus as Wampus girl. Maybe Snell has been associating with the Vulture egg too long.
Deadline for UCLA Ducats Extended
Deadline for obtaining exchange rooters’ tickets for the SC-UCLA game on Saturday, Nov. 22, has been extended until 4:30 p.m. today, according to John Morley, university ticket manager.
Students who have not yet picked up their rooters’ tickets are warned that today is definitely the last day that exchange tickets may be claimed.
Reservations for reserved tickets for the grid titantic will also be offered today to SC students, Morley reported. Arrangements have been made by UCLA, who is the home team for the game, to send several hundred reserved tickets to go on sale in the Student Union ticket office.
The tickets, which are priced at $5, will be made available to students at a later date, Morley said. Students must pay for the tickets at the time that reservations are made.
Ticket sales for the Washing-ton-SC classic this Saturday also indicate that a good crowd will be in attendance, the Trojan ticket manager stated. With more than 30,000 tickets previously sold, a crowd of 60.000 is expected for the PCC conference game.

REV. THEODORE B. HAX . . . where will you be?
Theologian To Discuss Life, Death
“Where will you be five minutes after you die?
That question will be discussed by Pastor Theodore B. Hax of Crenshaw’s Mt. Calvary Lutheran church today at 12:10 in Bowne hall.
Rev. Hax will be speaking at the Religious Emphasis Week meeting of the Trojan Christian Fellow'ship.
He chose that -topic because, he said, “I feel that we ought to consider the real essentials of life and the essentials of the Christian faith.”
Rev. Hax added, “Since death continues to be the universal experience of mankind, it is supremely worthwhile to consider what comes after death.”
“Christianity definitely teaches that the personal conscious life of the individual continues after death and that man’s present relationship to God determines the character of his experience in the life after death,” he summarized. “Such a conviction gives a true meaning and a right perspective to the present life.”
Rev. Hax is a graduate of Capitol university of Columbus, Ohio. His post-graduate work was done at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
There are three basic concepts of what religion is according to Dr. George Hedley, chaplain of Mills college. Dr. Hedley opened Religious Emphasis Week yesterday morning in Bovard Auditorium with a convocation address.
“Religion,” said Dr. Hedley, “is not opiate but challenge; not opinion but faith; not option but necessity.”
Karl Marx, the father of communism, claimed that religion was the ducking of issues. Actually, said Dr. Hedley, religion is the facing of the issues. Those who deny this, deny historical facts.
Elective
“Religion is not an elective in life’s curriculum,” he said. “If we are to face reality, we must have religion. It is the most demanding challenge that life can or will make.”
Dr. Hedley, a protestant, was followed by a Roman Catholic,
Fr. Thomas MacIntyre, a professor at Los Angeles college, a Catholic seminary.
Religion is nothing more than education, Fr. MacIntyre told the sparse crowd, which filled less than one-fourth of the auditorium.
It has been lamented by university professors, he said, that college graduates are ineffectual in influencing others in the “ideas of life.” This is because the “philosophy of life,” and therefore religion, is not being taught to the majority of the college students, said Fr. MacIntyre.
Questions
“The questions ‘What is man,’
Misconceptions About Religion Hit in Talk
“Secular people condemn religion as superstition because they have had no knowledge of the facts of religion.”
This was the basis of a talk given by Dr. George1 Hedley, Mills college chaplain, yesterday afternoon before a gathering of 22 people in 133 Founders hall.
Dr. Hedley pointed out the misconceptions of many people about the attitude and value of religion. Scholastic Matter “Religion is a scholastic subject,” Doctor Hedley said, “but our schools seem to think they can educate children without any religious training.”
As an example of the need for religious education he pointed out that most students think that the works of Milton and Dante are dull because they have no knowledge of religion.
He said that religious education ‘What is his purpose,’ Where did in the churches is also inadequate?.
he come from,’ and “What is his destiny’ are questions that an educated man should be able to answer. When one can answer these questions to his own satisfaction and to the satisfaction of others, then, and only then, is he educated,” he said.
The third and final of the speakers, who were introduced by Bernard L. Hyink, dean of students, was Rabbi Edgar F. Magnin, of the Wilshire boulevard temple.
You can’t get religion out of books, he told the audience. You can study it, learn it, and know it, but that won’t get you religion. Religion gets you.
Many cynics attempt to disprove religion through science and logic, said Rabbi Magnin. But just as you can’t see the wrood of a desk decaying before your eyes, neither can you see religion. It is known by instinct, not science.
No Logic “Why does a material man seek good in the world?” he asked. “Why would a young man, with a world of promise before him. risk his life to save the life of an old man, whose life is almost past? These questions can’t be answered with logic.”
“Life can be beautiful,” he concluded, “if you hold a key in your hand—the key to religion.”
“The examination for Sunday school teachers is oral and consists of one question, Will you take the class?’ ”
Another superstition he mentioned is that religion cannot be a scientific study. He pointed out the basic differences of science and religion is that science is the field of seeing and is the intellectual order of the chaos of our society while religion is the field of believing and is the moral order of society.”
Superstitious One of the most vicious superstitions about religion is that it is used as an escape mechanism.
He said, "Escapism of many secular people is performed in a reclining position on a psychiatrist’s couch. ‘‘These people would be better off if they spent more time on their knees and less time on the couch, and it would cost far less.”
Helling Around He attacked the superstition that religious people cannot have fun. “If fun means ‘helling around’ religion will have to take a negative attitude, but if fun is enjoying life, laughing at absurdities in other people and ourselves, then we have fun. Members of the so-called intelligenia try so hard to have fun, but it takes so much liquor.”
