Jeffers' Work Will Highlight Noon Reading
Robinson Jeffers' poems will highlight today's English department Noon Readings in 133 FH.
Alexander H. Chomey, lecturer in English. will read from Jeffers' “Medea,” “Tamar,” "Roan Stallion,” “Cawdor." 'Give Your | Heart to the Hawks.” “Hunger-field" and ‘The Women at Point Sur.”
"In a sense. Jeffers is a man who has outlived his myth,” i Chomey says of the poet, adding, that he still writes poems high in the stone tower he built with his own hands on the Carmel coast.
Born in Pittsburgh in 1887. j Jeffers traveled extensively but j eventually settled in Southern j California. He attended Occidental College and did graduate work ! at USCs Medical School.
“Jeffers still denounces man as i a blasphemer of nature and lonss even more passionately for the primal night," Chomey says, i
The English lecturer notes that the world thinks of Jeffers as a regional tourist attraction or a hawk-obsessed misanthrope j who has been repeating himself for the last, 20 years.
“It is true, of course, that
ROW HAS 'FLAMING' TIME DURING HOMECOMING
It was a hot time in the old town last Friday when Homecoming activities came to the Row.
Especially for the Tau Kappa Epsilon house.
At 12:45 a.m. the TKE men were awakened by the screaming; sounds of two fire engines stopping in front of the house.
The reason? An old car had been ignited with kerosene and oil and was a mass of flame. The fire was extinguished in a few minutes by the Los Angeles Fire Department.
No other damages were reported.
Dean Robert J. Downey, at the scene of the fire, reported that nobody knew how the fire was started. The car had been sitting outside the TKE house for three or four months previous to the fire.
That same morning, students came to Stonier SCeller and found that the coffee urns had a questionable green liquid in them. Some guessed it was vegetable dye; others said it was poison but all agreed that drinking it was out of the question.
Students also questioned the UCLA blue sugar containers but cafeteria officials said that it had been a custom for years to trade “sugar packets” between the schools during the UCLA-USC week.

Doctor Relates Need to Study Jaundice Case
The necessity of making a decisive diagnosis between the jaundice caused by hepatitis and that which might be caused by cancer or a gallstone is one of the most important decisions in modern medicine.
That w’as the opinion recently ! expressed by Dr. Cecil Watson,
! professor of medicine at the ! University of Minnesota, at a ; special medical seminar held by j the postgraduate division of the j School of Medicine at the Hunt-S ingtcn-Sheraton Hotel in Pasadena.
Jaundice Symptoms
Speaking on “Jaundice: Some Fundamental and Clinical Considerations,” Dr. Watson explained in detail symptoms associated with jaundice resulting from both causes. The jaundice caused by infectious hepatitis may be accompanied by nausea, loss of appetite, loss of taste for tobacco in the case of a smoker and an enlarged spleen. The jaundice resulting from cancer, Dr. Watson told his audience, may be more insidious, much slower and preceded by loss of weight.
If the jaundice is the result of cancer or a stone, surgery is

work is uneven. Sometimes it can be extremely prosaic, especially when he uses the terminology of science.
“At it« best, however, it is an echo of the rhythms of the tides, highly evocative of mood, intensely lyrical, full metaphor that startles and disturbs,” he points out.
Chomey feels that Jeffers’ shorter poems are more likely to last since the narrative and dramatic ones sometimes deal with improbable situations, lack convincing dialogue and are structurally weak.
Chorney concludes that “the best of Jeffers’ reflective lyrics rank with the finest poetry in the English language.”

An acknowledged authority in the field of real estate and finance, Dr. Seldin spoke on “Some of blazing Potential Implications of the Election Results on Real Estate Investments.”
"It appears that there will be a strengthening of income, output and employment, a continuation of price increases without much change in the rate and a decrease in the tightness of money,” Dr. Seldin said. “This will favorably affect the demand for real property services and. hence, real estate investments.” Commenting on some of the

Sir Charles Percy Snow, distinguished British scientist and novelist, will give a public lecture tomorrow at 2:15 p.m. in Hancock Auditorium on “Recent Thought on the Two Cultures.”
He will come to the USC campus under the auspices of the department of English.
Author of "The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution,”
I Snow has written a sreat deal i about the widening gap between persons in science and in the j humanities and will make sug-I gestions for ways in which a bridge can be built between the two disciplines.
Gave l'p Research I His 1959 Rede Lecture at Cambridge, entitled "The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution,” created a good deal of comment and his talk at USC will probably develop some of the ideas presented in that lecture.
USC Student to Head Local Citizens United’
Citizens United for America, a new organization pledged “to preserve ?nd defend the American ideals,” has named Ronald Sugarman. USC junior, to head the college division in this area.
Sugarman was national Chairman of Youth for Kennedy-John-son during the 1960 campaign. The recipient of many public service awards, he also has sened as chairman of the Stu-

Sugarman \ arns that only students can stop communism and other un-Amcrican activities on the campus level.

21st congressional district.
Citizens United fo~ America, composed of Republicans and Democrats, will “utilize all means to curb the ever-growing operations of Communists and dissident elements who have infiltrated into our major political parties,” Sugarr an says.
Recent Riots
Recent San Francisco riots against a Congressional committee by members of “dissident” studeht	groups, demonstrates
that Communist infiltration poses a grave threat to the nation, Sugarman adds.
“Our fight is not directed I against any individual or group who believes that it is their right j to express their grievences in a peaceful manner, nor is it our objective to brand any individual or group as ‘Un-American’ unless there is enough factual evidence to warrant that decision,” he reports.
The orgrnizations policy is to oppose those groups who abuse the right of free speech by labeling as un-American, everything they might not fully be in agree- ent with. Sugarman says. “Our job is only to offer the college student t h e leadership which he desires in a non-partisan manner concerning the issue of subversion facing the American people ” he adds.

is cerain, but the magnitude is likely to be modest.
“On the economic scene this may be interpreted to mean that economic growth will be stepped up. There will be greater aid to a number of sectors of our economy, and there will be easier money — with the consequences of a continued inflation. This sounds so good that some of you may be wondering why you didn’t vote the other way. But there is a rub.
“If the rate of growth is pushed too far, if money is made too easy, then the price will be paid in a recession that occurs sooner, becomes deeper or lasts longer than otherwise would be necessary.” Dr. Seldin said.
“That is not a forecast that the new administration will bring on a recession, but you can be sure that recessions are not a thing of the past,” he declared.
“While there are a number of causes of recessions, there is one that bears watching.
Rate of Growth
“This cause is a rate of growth that is unsustainable because of the structure of production. A boom that gets under way in an economy that has been operating at capacity will get a structure of production that abnormally lavors capital goods and production for inventory. This will require substantial increases in in-\ est ment.
“Once the increase demand is satisfied, it becomes necessary to readjust the structure of production. If the necessary adjustment is too great or takes place too rapidly, a recession will occur,” Dr. Selden warned.
titis, the University of Minnesota medical man pointed out.
Important Realm “There is no realm in modern medicine in which it is more important to make a decisive diagnosis than here,” Dr. Watson declared.
"Jaundice sufferers must be told of the importance of this diagnosis, and they must have faith and patience in their physicians. Many tests and observations must be made. In many cases some days will elapse before the physician will have the right answer,” he said.
One of the great bottlenecks in the search for this diagnosis is the fact that there is no test for the virus of hepatitis, Dr. Watson reported.
Fellowships Open Here
Applications for Rockefeller Brothers Foundation fellowships for graduating seniors are now being accepted by University Chaplain John E. Cantelon.
Deadline for nomination for the fellowships is Dec. 1.
"The fellowships, with full tuition and subsistence, are available to those seniors who have made no vocational commitment and for w'hom the Christian ministry is a live vocational option,” the chaplain said.

The program is an extension of the National Diabetes Detection Drive. It includes blood and urine tests calculated to detect diabetes or a pre-diabetic state, says the physician.
“We provide this service each year in cooperation with the Southern California branch of the American Diabetes Association. Sometimes, only 50 people take advantage of the tests. Others don’t seem to realize the value or importance of this program,” he points out.
“The fact is that one half of one per cent of all college students have this disease, Dr. Greeley reports.
