Twelfth Night' Successful on Opening Night
After a rolling, rollicking start last night, the SC production of William Shakespeare’s comedy, “Twelfth Night,” will continue tonight with its second performance of a five-night run in Bovard auditorium at 8:30.
Directed by Frank Reicher, who is known for his direction of Shakespearean plays for the The ater Guild of New York and for his motion picture acting and directing, is being assisted in this first Shakespearean play ever to be given by the SC drama department by Dr. Herbert M. Stahl, associate director and associate professor of drama; Marcus Fuller, in charge of stage sets; and Bill White, lighting technician.
Thespians seen in lead roles last night, and who will be seen through Tuesday night’s presentation, were Chuck Charter, Sebastian; Edward Earle, Feste, the cIowti; Nat Goodwin, Sir Toby Belch; Barbara Hudson, Viola; Pat Madgwick, Olivia; John Manlove, Duke Orsino; Jim Norcop, Sir Andrew Aguecheek; Virginia Reck, Maria; and Jess Swan, Malvolio.
The amorous comedy of confusion is built around the separation of twins, Sebastian and Viola, in a shipwTeck, and Viola’s disguising herself as a man. Her love for- the Duke Orsino and Olivia’s love for Viola, present, for a time, an almost insoluble problem.
But “Twelfth Night” is Shakespearean comedy at its best and the audience is made to forget the problem as it watches the hilarious antics of Feste, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and Sir Toby Belch.
Tickets for the four remaining performances may be obtained at the university ticket office, second floor, Student Union. Orchestra seats are priced at $1, balcony seats at 50 aents. Activity book holders are admitted free.
★ Let's Help the Chest Now
This is a time for plain speaking.
The Trojan Chest has flopped—flopped
miserably.
Only a fraction, more than one-third of the $10,000 goal was achieved in the spring campaign.
Maybe it isn’t your fault that the Chest flopped. Maybe nobody approached you the last time around. But the fact that the Chest did flop is your business.
Unless big-hearted Trojans dig into their pockets and purses for additional dollars, the beneficiaries of the Trojan Chest will have to close up shop.
If the Trojan Chest remains a flop there won’t be any Troy Camp. This summer 180 underprivileged children will not have a chance to get to the mountains for a week of happiness, no chance to escape an environment that takes all and gives virtually nothing.
Program of the YWCA, will be seriously curtailed. That beautiful new building of the YW, so important in the cultural and social life of women students, will be just four walls and no longer a strong influence in campus life.
The YMCA and the World Students’ Service fund will both suffer because of an empty Trojan Chest.
But it isn’t too late to do something. The Trojan Chest can yet be saved. Every student gets a chance to give today, a chance to make certain that the final story is not a flop, a chance to assure the children’s summer outing at Troy Camp, and a chance to guarantee the campus
activities financed from the Chest.
- This is a rough time of year, financially speaking. There are dinner and dues and fees and cash demands at every turn. But all of us have little luxuries that we can cut out for one day—that extra pack of cigarettes, that chocolate sundae, that highball, that drive up to the mountains or down to the beach.
Let’s make today—“Trojan Chest Dollar Day”—a day of small sacrifices for the Trojan Chest. Let’s give our nickels and quarters, dimes and dollars to the Chest. One dollar from everyone would insure the success of the Chest drive. It can be done with such a little sacrifice and it will mean so much to the people and organizations who will benefit.
This is one time when we can’t leave it up to George, because George happens to be you and me and the rest of the student body. We’ve got to give and give today, or there won’t be any Trojan Chest worthy of the name.
Dig down—not deeply, not till it hurts, but just a little way. If you’ve given before, give a little more. If nobobdy happens to hit your particular class for a cash donation, look for Trojan Chest representatives around campus, drop off a dollar or some change at the campus post office.
The important thing is to come through with a contribution and to come through today.
Let’s all go give to the Trojan Chest RIGHT NOW.

Journalism
Scholarships
Announced
George R. Steffes, of Los Angeles high school, and Muriel Gately, Narbonne High, are the nners of the 1952 journalism scholarships, it was announced yesterday by Roy L. French, director of the School of Journalism.
Both students, who will enroll at SC in the fall, were editors of their respective high school publications. Miss Gately, in addition, is a correspondent for the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
The scholarship, given by the Alumni association since 1929, pays full tuition for one year and is renewable for the following three years.
Contestants from 27 high schools as far north as the San Joaquin valley and as far south as San Diego competed.
Scholarship winners now attending SC are Beverly Chilson, senior; Nick Apple ^nd Ann Vierhus, juniors; Cliff Gewecke, sophomore; and Gary Kreutz and Dor-tha Fox, freshmen.
Committee members selecting the winners were Howard M. Palmer, alumni association; Elizabeth H. Jones, assistant professor of journalism; and Frederic C. Coonradt, assistant professor of journalism.
Accountants Study Work in CPA Offices
School of Commerce’s new curriculum for next semester offers senior accountants more than an academic hand at computing income tax returns.
Under the internship program, seniors will attend classes from Sept. 15 to Dec. 18. Each of these classes will be intensified to contain the same amount of work as a full-length semester class.
Work in Offices During the period from Dec. 18 to Mar. 15, students will be free to work in accounting offices. Classes for the second semester will begin Mar. 16 and end June 5.
“Under this program, seniors will have an excellent opportunity to make permanent business connections before they graduate,” said Frederick W. Woodbridge,
head of the accounting department. Students will average from o250 to $275 a month, he said.
Unit Choices Seniors have their choice of taking 13 units during the first semester and 12 during the second. and 6 during a summer school session, or 16 units the first semester and 15 the second semester.
“Because a veteran under the GI bill cannot have a break in his training program, one night course each semester which will be of regular semester length, will be re. uired,” Woodbridge said.
‘Thi* program is rather common for schools on the quarter basis, but SC is one of the first to offer it on a semester basis,” he concluded.
Today is “Trojan Chest Dollar Day,” a final effort to collect funds for the combined SC charities drive which fell some $6000 short of its $10,000 goal in the initial campaign concluded two weeks ago.
The one-day attempt to save the 1952 Trojan Chest was instigated by a special Senate committee appointed to study the Chest problem. The drive will be centered around collections in all 10 o’clock classes today, with teams of prominent students and members of Trqjan Knights and Squires taking part in the appeal.
,,	Added Support
Added support for the drive was given yesterday by the IFC, It was voted by that body to pledge $1 per man in each fraternity for the Chest. The pledge means that some $1500 additional will be realized if all houses comply.
The fraternity donations will bring the drive total to more than $5000.
The committee hopes many independent students will contribute during the classroom collections or make it a point to drop a dollar at the postoffice in an en-

velope for the Trojan Chest. The committee points out that if every student would donate one dollar to the Chest the drive would be successful.
Stop Week
With Stop week approaching, this will be the last attempt made to secure funds for the Chest. Under the chest principle the money is divided among six organizations and projects on a percentage basis.
Troy Camp receives the principal benefit—50 per cent of the money collected. Since it requires a minimum of $5000 to operate the camp, it is necessary that the $10,000 Trojan Chest goal be reached if the camp is to continue in operation.
YW Receives
The YWCA receives the next greatest benefit from the Chest, 25 per cent. Other groups receiving Chest funds are the World Students Service fund, YMCA, Red Cross, and March of Dimes.
The special committee handling the emergency drive is composed of Larry Spector, chairman of the Greater-University committee; Tony Taylor, Homecoming chairman; Bob Mitchell, AMS president; Chuck Kelly, IFC president; Ted Todd, Trojan Chest chairman: and Bob Erburu, DT editor and chairman of the committee.
Erburu Named Outstanding LAS Senior
