More Original
One of the more original conceptions in the exhibit “Alchemic Symbolism” by well-known artist O. P. Reed, is a lithograph showing grotesqu» figures and symbols—almost in silhouette form—in a black on white background.
An untitled etching by Mary Niehart in beautiful tones of blqp. green and gold with free, abstract shapes delicately outlined in sensitive grey and black lines has a dreamlike, fairytale quailty and suggests medieval knights, castles and princesses.
Standout
Another print that stands out In the exhibit is Brack Walker's “Cavalry,” a n impressionistic study in monochromatic browns and bronzes. Speed and strength burst forth from the blurred forward charge of the cavalrymen.
All the prints in the show are available for rent to the public through the fine arts department. The Upstairs Gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Well-Known Author Will Lecture Today
Sir Charles Percy Snow, a man in a “unique position,” will speak today at 2:15 p.m. in Hancock Auditorium.
TTie noted British novelist and scientist, will devote his lecture to “Recent Thought on the Two Cultures.”
He was described by Dr.
English department as especial- j ~ ly qualified to cover the two cultures of science and literature.
"Snow is in a unique position because he is both a scientist and a literary man,” says Dr.
Arnold, who was instrumental in bringing Snow to campus.
The well-known author is well qualified to deal with both scientific and literary matters. He is a physicist and chemist.
Displayed Brilliance
At Leicester University College, where he earned a First Class Honors in chemistry, he displayed such brilliance that he was invited to remain to do research work. After doing research in the field of infra-red spectroscopy he received a M.
Sc. degree in physics in 1928.
Snow gave up his scientific endeavors in 1933 and turned his sights toward literary ambitions which began with his first serious work. “The Search,” in 1934.
Great Admirer
Dr. Arnold, a great admirer of Snow’s works, feels that his books egress one of the major problems of today's industrialized society—the widening gap between science and literature.
“This problem of the gap between science and literature is one of the main themes of Snow's work. He considers this intellectually and socially undesirable, and he feels that in the long run it could be catastrophic.
Other Theme
“The other theme that dominates his works is the gap between technologically advanced and underdeveloped countries in the world,” Dr. Arnold says.
Much of Snow’s appeal lies in the fact that he is an author who really knows his material,
the Professor feels. “He has a of one of the books.

U.S. Said Unable to Follow England In Eliminating Conscription Necessity
By KONDELIA WELLS
There are no pre-World War IT “Soldiers. Sailors and ‘Dogs Not Allowed,’ ” signs in America. but the armed forces have to go along way before they can make the services attractive enough to eliminate the necessity of a draft as England did last Friday.
This was the opinion expressed by Commander James M. McCaskill. executive officer of USC's Naval ROTC, in considering whether the United States xpight end conscription-
Number Determined
Britain freed civilians from military obligation last week for the first time since 1939.
According to Commander McCaskill. the committments made by the United States to foreign countries determine the number of draftees taken into the service within a quarter.
Connotation
“The quarterly draft varies because of the influx of volunteers. The more volunteers that enlist, the smaller the number t>f draftce>- that are required to ¿ill the quota."
McCaikiU noted that the w ord
' “draft” has an unpleasant connotation. He explained that con-1 scriptees have a lower academic rating than volunteers.
“My present guess is that drafting in the United States will not change much in the next few years,” he said. “Although President-elect Kennedy stated that drafting procedures would change somewhat, he was not specific as to what changes would be made."
The executive officer noted that the armed services must always meet the world-wide committment set by the President, State Department and Congress under the advisement of the Security Council and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Minimum Wage
“The job of the services is to make their profession attractive enough to interest young men. In this way the quota could be filled. If the plan was a good enough incentive to attract future servicemen, there would be no need for the draft,” he stated.
McCaskill noted that at the present time the minimum wages for industrial laborers
are far greater than starting pay for a serviceman. For this reason, the services cannot compete with industry for students who have just graduated from high school and do not intend to continue on to college.
“However, I believe that the long-range benefits provided by the armed services for their men are much more effective than those provided by industries for their rank-and-file employees," he continued.
Reduction Afforded Explaining how Britain could afford to discontinue the draft, McCaskill said that "England has been losing her colonial empire bit by bit fot; the last 100 years. Because she no longer has the committments which her empire once demanded, the Navy and Royal Air Force can be reduced.”
He mentioned that volunteers who enlist could probably take care of the quota in these two j services unless England makes new committments which demand more servicemen.
College Programs The armed services in the United States are relying on I their college programs to at-
tract young men to the service. There are both regular and contract ROTC students on the USC campus.
The “regular” men are subsidized by the government for their schooling, while the “contract” students pay their own way and hope to pbtain a commission upon graduation.
Constant Work
“The armed services have people who work constantly toward new schemes to improve internal relations in the service, provide a higher caliber of draftees and make the service attractive to prospective volunteers,” he continued.
McCaskill mentioned that "the cold war is the cause of most of the committments which the armed services have made to foreign countries.
Price of Fame
“This is our price of fame. When there is no longer any fear of communism or any other 'ism,’ then we will need fewer service personnel.
“Until then we must either provide for the defense of the world or creep back into the isolationism of the 1930's,” he concluded.
Book Values Range Great
“The Campaign of Waterloo,” with illustrations by R. F. Zog-baum, was the feature story in a ! yellowed volume of Scribner's Magazine that sold for five cents yesterday at Doheny Library.
The Scribner's volume, dated March, 1888, was one of many duplicate editions of books and ; magazines that the library is selling during i t s annual sale.
1 Many works, including sets ;hat range to 32 volumes, are being j sold for fractions of their present value.
»
Prices for books range from five cents to a dollar for single j volumes and from 50 cents to five dollars for multi-volume i sets.
Bargain hunters, collectors ! and interester students carried away more than $400 worth of olu books during the first day of the sale, which will continue today.
An 1894 issue of McClure’s Magazine was also for sale at the Doheny clearance commemorating “the birthday of Gen. Grant with Reminiscences and Anecdotes by His Son and His Old Comrades and with a Complete Series of Portraits from Youth to Age,” the issue sold for five cnnts.
Typical of the magazine table, it and many of its dusty contemporaries were receiving the most attention during the sale. Covering two centuries and a variety of topics, the magazines ranged from poe* y reviews to National Geographies and foreign periodicals.
Noted Novel To Be Topic
Dr. Harold E- Briggs, professor of English, will read from the pages of Jane Austen's “Pride and Prejudice,” at Monday’s department of English Noon Readings in 133 FH.
Noon Readings is a weekly program by the department of English which is open to students, faculty and the public. The general theme of the program is “Books to Read Again.”
wide range of experience in the professional, literary and scientific world, which is very unusual.
Limited Experience
“Manv authors write only from limited personal experience, but one feels in reading Snow’s novels that he is being addressed by someone who really knowg—from the inside,” Dr. Arnold says.
In many cases. Snow deals with themes not dealt with by other authors but deals with themes in a manner different from that of most writers. Dr. Arnold adds.
He points to “The New Men." in which the scientist-author shows the 20th century physicists “the new men,” a kind of aristocracy who seemingly have no loyalty to the past or to national tradition and that are more loyal to each other as group than to their country.
Sharing equal space with her noted husband in the exhibit is the book critic and novelist Patricia Johnson, Lady Snow. She has written many works in the field of critique.
Distinguished Self
He»’ critical study of Thomas Wolfe, published under the title ‘‘Hungry Gulliver” in the United States, has placed her in a position as a contemporary critic of American authors. “Proust Recaptured” and other articles on Wolfe show her to be a follower of his.
Snow has distinguished himself in the fields of humanities and science by virtue of his v.ritings and speaking engagements.
He was knight?1 for his work as a civil servant coordinating the placement of scientists during World War II by the king.
Turkey Practically Left Out Of Varied Holiday Agendas
By JUDY REYNOLDS
Turkey is surprisingly last on the list of student activities for Thanksgiving.
A Daily Trojan poll of student plans for the holiday shows that even studying ranks above the immortal bird. A variety of activities, including skiing, gambling and relaxing, were reported on the student agenda.
“Party! Party!”
When asked if she planned anything unusual for the holiday, Dulce Flores, a senior ma-! joring in French responded,
I “No, no! I'm just going to the Mohave Desert.”
“I’m going to have a private collapse and hibernate,” affrim-ed Bob Lepis, a junior in engineering.
Dick Hoffman, a senior in pre-med commented, “I’ll be slaving over Taricha Torosa for Dave Wake.”
“I’ll be working with my test j tubes in the laboratory—under-| grounding instead of skiing. I
work in a cellar,” explained Hekam Singh, who is a research associate in chemistry.
Vegas-Bound
Jeanine Hendricks, a sophomore education major, smiled, “I’m going to Las Vegas to swim and sun. Gamble? Oh sure. I’ll play the slot machines, and I hope to win a boy friend —a blue-eyed blond about 6 ft. 4 inches.”
“I’m hosting a party that isn't mine," Ginny Gubin replied when asked her plans.
Ken Glenn, a sophomore in accounting said that he was “going to Las Vegas and lose all my money.”
Ambitious Plans
“My plans? I'm going to go parachute jumping, water skiing and write a 3,000 word paper,” reported Frank Robert, a senior business administration student.
Bob Nickel declared that he was going to be different. “I'm going to a family dinner and eat turkey. Ill also study for
three 10-week exams.”
“I don’t have any plans.” Mel Harvits, a junior in engineering explained. “On second thought. I'll probably still be sitting here (the Grill) drinking coffee.” Balboa Reunion Melinda McCray, a junior majoring in English, laughed, “I’m going to Balboa for a family re-1 union—we have quite a family, j so it’s going to be a wild re-j union.”
“I'm thinking of going skiing, hitting the slopes and doing some good drinking in the ski 1 lodge," related Bruce MacCaul,
I a graduate student in finance.
“I'm going to get drunk for I four days.” conceded Chuck i Raysbrook. a freshman majoring ! in pre-med. “Lost weekend? No, I don’t think it will be lost at j all.”
“I'm going to take my girl ; friend out to dinner.” was Anil Patel’s comment. The graduate student in business administration didn't mention turkey, j though.

McCaskill. executive officer of USC's Naval ROTC, in considering whether the United States xpight end conscription- Number Determined Britain freed civilians from military obligation last week for the first time since 1939. According to Commander McCaskill. the committments made by the United States to foreign countries determine the number of draftees taken into the service within a quarter. Connotation “The quarterly draft varies because of the influx of volunteers. The more volunteers that enlist, the smaller the number t>f draftce>- that are required to ¿ill the quota." McCaikiU noted that the w ord ' “draft” has an unpleasant connotation. He explained that con-1 scriptees have a lower academic rating than volunteers. “My present guess is that drafting in the United States will not change much in the next few years,” he said. “Although President-elect Kennedy stated that drafting procedures would change somewhat, he was not specific as to what changes would be made." The executive officer noted that the armed services must always meet the world-wide committment set by the President, State Department and Congress under the advisement of the Security Council and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Minimum Wage “The job of the services is to make their profession attractive enough to interest young men. In this way the quota could be filled. If the plan was a good enough incentive to attract future servicemen, there would be no need for the draft,” he stated. McCaskill noted that at the present time the minimum wages for industrial laborers are far greater than starting pay for a serviceman. For this reason, the services cannot compete with industry for students who have just graduated from high school and do not intend to continue on to college. “However, I believe that the long-range benefits provided by the armed services for their men are much more effective than those provided by industries for their rank-and-file employees" he continued. Reduction Afforded Explaining how Britain could afford to discontinue the draft, McCaskill said that "England has been losing her colonial empire bit by bit fot; the last 100 years. Because she no longer has the committments which her empire once demanded, the Navy and Royal Air Force can be reduced.” He mentioned that volunteers who enlist could probably take care of the quota in these two j services unless England makes new committments which demand more servicemen. College Programs The armed services in the United States are relying on I their college programs to at- tract young men to the service. There are both regular and contract ROTC students on the USC campus. The “regular” men are subsidized by the government for their schooling, while the “contract” students pay their own way and hope to pbtain a commission upon graduation. Constant Work “The armed services have people who work constantly toward new schemes to improve internal relations in the service, provide a higher caliber of draftees and make the service attractive to prospective volunteers,” he continued. McCaskill mentioned that "the cold war is the cause of most of the committments which the armed services have made to foreign countries. Price of Fame “This is our price of fame. When there is no longer any fear of communism or any other 'ism,’ then we will need fewer service personnel. “Until then we must either provide for the defense of the world or creep back into the isolationism of the 1930's,” he concluded. Book Values Range Great “The Campaign of Waterloo,” with illustrations by R. F. Zog-baum, was the feature story in a ! yellowed volume of Scribner's Magazine that sold for five cents yesterday at Doheny Library. The Scribner's volume, dated March, 1888, was one of many duplicate editions of books and ; magazines that the library is selling during i t s annual sale. 1 Many works, including sets ;hat range to 32 volumes, are being j sold for fractions of their present value. » Prices for books range from five cents to a dollar for single j volumes and from 50 cents to five dollars for multi-volume i sets. Bargain hunters, collectors ! and interester students carried away more than $400 worth of olu books during the first day of the sale, which will continue today. An 1894 issue of McClure’s Magazine was also for sale at the Doheny clearance commemorating “the birthday of Gen. Grant with Reminiscences and Anecdotes by His Son and His Old Comrades and with a Complete Series of Portraits from Youth to Age,” the issue sold for five cnnts. Typical of the magazine table, it and many of its dusty contemporaries were receiving the most attention during the sale. Covering two centuries and a variety of topics, the magazines ranged from poe* y reviews to National Geographies and foreign periodicals. Noted Novel To Be Topic Dr. Harold E- Briggs, professor of English, will read from the pages of Jane Austen's “Pride and Prejudice,” at Monday’s department of English Noon Readings in 133 FH. Noon Readings is a weekly program by the department of English which is open to students, faculty and the public. The general theme of the program is “Books to Read Again.” wide range of experience in the professional, literary and scientific world, which is very unusual. Limited Experience “Manv authors write only from limited personal experience, but one feels in reading Snow’s novels that he is being addressed by someone who really knowg—from the inside,” Dr. Arnold says. In many cases. Snow deals with themes not dealt with by other authors but deals with themes in a manner different from that of most writers. Dr. Arnold adds. He points to “The New Men." in which the scientist-author shows the 20th century physicists “the new men,” a kind of aristocracy who seemingly have no loyalty to the past or to national tradition and that are more loyal to each other as group than to their country. Sharing equal space with her noted husband in the exhibit is the book critic and novelist Patricia Johnson, Lady Snow. She has written many works in the field of critique. Distinguished Self He»’ critical study of Thomas Wolfe, published under the title ‘‘Hungry Gulliver” in the United States, has placed her in a position as a contemporary critic of American authors. “Proust Recaptured” and other articles on Wolfe show her to be a follower of his. Snow has distinguished himself in the fields of humanities and science by virtue of his v.ritings and speaking engagements. He was knight?1 for his work as a civil servant coordinating the placement of scientists during World War II by the king. Turkey Practically Left Out Of Varied Holiday Agendas By JUDY REYNOLDS Turkey is surprisingly last on the list of student activities for Thanksgiving. A Daily Trojan poll of student plans for the holiday shows that even studying ranks above the immortal bird. A variety of activities, including skiing, gambling and relaxing, were reported on the student agenda. “Party! Party!” When asked if she planned anything unusual for the holiday, Dulce Flores, a senior ma-! joring in French responded, I “No, no! I'm just going to the Mohave Desert.” “I’m going to have a private collapse and hibernate,” affrim-ed Bob Lepis, a junior in engineering. Dick Hoffman, a senior in pre-med commented, “I’ll be slaving over Taricha Torosa for Dave Wake.” “I’ll be working with my test j tubes in the laboratory—under- grounding instead of skiing. I work in a cellar,” explained Hekam Singh, who is a research associate in chemistry. Vegas-Bound Jeanine Hendricks, a sophomore education major, smiled, “I’m going to Las Vegas to swim and sun. Gamble? Oh sure. I’ll play the slot machines, and I hope to win a boy friend —a blue-eyed blond about 6 ft. 4 inches.” “I’m hosting a party that isn't mine" Ginny Gubin replied when asked her plans. Ken Glenn, a sophomore in accounting said that he was “going to Las Vegas and lose all my money.” Ambitious Plans “My plans? I'm going to go parachute jumping, water skiing and write a 3,000 word paper,” reported Frank Robert, a senior business administration student. Bob Nickel declared that he was going to be different. “I'm going to a family dinner and eat turkey. Ill also study for three 10-week exams.” “I don’t have any plans.” Mel Harvits, a junior in engineering explained. “On second thought. I'll probably still be sitting here (the Grill) drinking coffee.” Balboa Reunion Melinda McCray, a junior majoring in English, laughed, “I’m going to Balboa for a family re-1 union—we have quite a family, j so it’s going to be a wild re-j union.” “I'm thinking of going skiing, hitting the slopes and doing some good drinking in the ski 1 lodge" related Bruce MacCaul, I a graduate student in finance. “I'm going to get drunk for I four days.” conceded Chuck i Raysbrook. a freshman majoring ! in pre-med. “Lost weekend? No, I don’t think it will be lost at j all.” “I'm going to take my girl ; friend out to dinner.” was Anil Patel’s comment.
