Senior Suffers Minor Injury in Auto Accident
Dick Jouroyan, senior in LAS, who was injured in an automobile accident on campus yesterday noon, claimed he couldn’t see out of the front window of his car after his windshield wipers had stopped.
Jouroyan was treated at the infirmary for a minor head injury after his late model Plymouth ran into the rear of a double-parked car owned by medical student Sheldon Rosenfeld on 36th street outside Doheny Memorial library building.
“And I just let my collision insurance elapse because I didn’t think I’d need it,” said Jouroyan after the accident, looking over his broken bumper and bashed-in radiator.
Rosenfeld’s car had a bent fender and dented trunk lid as a result of the accident.

PCC Officially Gives Trojans Rose Bowl Bid
Season Closes With ‘No Surprise' Nod For Battle of Roses
SC was named officially yester day to represent the Pacific Coast conference on Jan. 1 in the Rose Bowl.
Choice of the Trojans came as no surprise^ since the SC foot bailers won the right to represent the PCC a week ago >when they defeated UCLA, 14 to 12, but the official announcement was delayed until the conference season ended last Saturday.
The announcement came from the conference commissioner’s office after a telegraphic poll of the schools in the league had been made.
Fabb Pleased
“We are highly honored to be the Pacific coast representative in the Rose Bowl, and I am sure that our men will be a credit to the West coast,” said Fred D Fagg Jr., president of the university, upon hearing of the official choice.
Members of the football squad are enjoying a holiday until Dec. 11, when they will begin working out again.
SC is still rated as a favorite over Wisconsin, despite the Notre Dame loss mainly because UCLA beat Wisconsin 20 to 7 earlier in the season.
Non-Committal
Coach Jess Hill did not say that the Irish were any better than the Bruins.
“We were up for the Bruins and couldn’t hold this 'mental pitch. I’m not taking anything from Notre Dame, but there were 54,394 witnesses to the fact that we were down.”
At the start of the season Hill said, “I’ll gladly sacrifice one game, if we can defeat UCLA.”
LWM Poster Deadline Set For Friday
Deadline for submitting posters for the Living War Memorial poster contest is this Friday, announced Bill Seelig, LWM poster chairman.
“This is an excellent opportunity for industrial design, art, or advertising students to gain recognition,” Seelig pointed out.
“Posters should be in two or three-color schemes, and a color rough or tracting is all that is necessary,” Seelig said. “The idea and design are paramount in selecting a winner.”
Entries
Entries should be submitted to the student activities office, 215 SU.
“Judges for the contest will be from the design or fine arts department, as well as artists from the commercial field,” Seelig said.
Poster themes should center around the main subject of the drive—contributions for the LWM —he said.
“The posters may publicize direct contribution, the Varsity show, or the Christmas readings,” Seelig said.
Varsity Show
The LWM Varsity show is scheduled for Wednesday noon in Bovard auditorium on Dec. 10 and will feature student talent as well as guest appearances of Hollywood personalities.
The traditional Christmas readings by Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English, will be given Friday and Friday night in Bovard auditorium on Dec. 12.
The drive is conducted each December with the goal of collecting enough donations so that a sum of $20,000 may be accumulated for each scholarship.
LWM is already in effect, having awarded one scholarship to date.

SECOND TROJAN to be named on a 1952 All-American team, Jim Sears, considered by many to be one of America's greatest backs, takes off from Los Angeles International airport tomorrow for Look's New York banquet.
New $150,000 Lab
SC Scientists Plan Battle Against Smog
Smog, the southern California nuisance which irritates the respiratory systems of gasping Angelenos, will be among the major research projects of the School of Medicine’s new $150,000 laboratory set up in space leased from the Good Samaritan hospital, it was recently announced by Dr. Reginald H. Smart, one of the labora- | tory’s original sponsors.
Operating with funds donated
by businessmen and doctors, the cardio-respiratory laboratory will conduct scientific research into the causes and treatment of such chronic pulmonary diseases as bronchial and cardiac asthma, cancer, tuberculosis, silicosis, and emphysema.
“Cancer of the lungs is now the most prevalent form of cancer in men,” Dr. Smart said, “and is increasing four times as fast as any other type.”
Many pulmonary diseases are closely related to industrial hazards, and since Los Angeles is among the fastest growing industrial areas in the nation, the opening of such a laboratory takes on an added importance.
One of the laboratory’s major functions will be the instruction of local doctors in the most efficient methods of diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases.
Laboratory facilities will serve the entire community and will be available to all classes of patients —private, industrial, and charity.
DKA to Honor William Perlberg
The SC chapter of Delta Kappa Alpha, national honorary motion picture fraternity, will honor producer William Perlberg at a dinner tomorrow evening at 7 in the Commons dining room.

SC Star Duo To Be Awarded Honors in N.Y.
by Ed Neilan
Jim Sears and Elmer Willhoite, who had starring roles in the Jess Hill production, “Road to the Rose Bowl,” receive their Oscars today in the form of positions on the 1952 Look magazine All-America football team, one of the three big college “all” team selections.
Heading Look’s board of selectors is Grantland Rice, dean of American sportswriters and acknowledged successor to Walter Camp, who in 1889 originated the
Takeoff to Be Televised
The departure of Sears and Moomaw from International airport will be covered by Bill Welsh on his KTTV television show at 6:15 p.m. NBC new*-reel cameras will also record the take-off.
All-America selections and continued them until his death in 1925. For the past 28 years Rice has been picking the team and since 1946 has been aided by members of the Football Writers Association of America.
All-American Safety
Sears, who at 164 pounds is one of the lightest players in college football, was named at safety on Look’s defensive platoon. He was rated as one of the nation’s best punt returners and pass defenders. In addition, he was considered an outstanding inspiration leader.
Willhoite, who was named last week to Collier's dream team, earned one of the guard berths on the Look offensive unit. Elmer was a tremendous blocker from his running guard spot, although he spent most of his playing time this year on the defensive wrecking crew. Willhoite staged a one-man offensive in the UCLA game, toting an intercepted pass 72 yards before being overhauled. The sprint by 210 pound Elmer set up one of Troy’s touchdowns in that crucial game.
Flies East	,
Sears is scheduled to leave International airport in his home town of Inglewood at 8:15 p.m. tomorrow on a special TWA plane which will take him and the rest of the Look All-Americans to New York for three days of honors and personal appearances. Willhoite is already in New York to receive the Collier’s award.
Official hostess on the specially chartered plan to fly around the country and pick up the honored players, will be Neva Jane Langley, Miss America of 1953.
Velan Colleague
Sears will board the plane along with UCLA’s Donn Moomaw, who was named at linebacker on the defensive platoon. The plane will stop at Dallas, Nashville, and Chicago en route to New York and will arrive in Ne\£ York Thursday.
On Friday night, the All-American award^ banquet will be held at Leone’s restaurant. Each player chosen on the offensive and defensive platoons will receive a Cyma Honor Award watch. The banquet ceremonies will be broadcast coast-to-coast over the CBS network, and overseas via Armed (Continued on Page S)
Dig This, Cats— Riser M issing; Platform, Too
Dig this, cats—a riser is missing:
Yes, Dr. Charles Hirt of the School of Musie yesterday mournfully admitted the disap-perance of a riser, a sort of collapsible platform that the SC chorus performs on.
“Our big performance of the year, the ‘Evening on the Roof concert, is coming up,” he lamented, “and without the missing riser we shall have to squeeze the 80-voice ensemble onto the cramped confines of a totally inadequate platform space.**
“If the riser is not found," he concluded, “the performance will b** given as scheduled, but the choir Is apt to have all the rich mellifluency of a bunch of sardines.”
