Laemmle Snares Latest Helen Nod
Bv JULIE PORTER
Susan Laemmle, Panhellenic president, was named the fourth Helen of Troy” by the 1961 Ei Rodeo yearbook *5 recognition of her four-year scholastic achievement and service to the university.
Eight senior coeds have been named -Helens” by Dr. Robert Downey dean of students: Joan Schaefer, assistant dean of students, women: Dr. William McGrath, assistant dean of students, men; and Tim Reilly, manager of student publications.
The women already announced this week arc Nita Biss, manager editor of the Daily Troian. Bobbie Jo Fur-bass. social studies senator, and Sharon Kelly. ASSC vice president. The remaining four women will be announced individually through March 7.
Susan Laemmle has served on Pannellenic since her sophomore year, in addition to being active in other campus organizations..
As a freshman, she was president of the Frosh Club, a member of the YWCA Council, and a Daily Trojan secretary. Her other activities have been Spurs, Chimes, Amazons. Mortar Board, and AWS cabinet.
Miss Leammle is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi. scholastic honorary organizations.
The newly-announced ‘Helen" was a graduate of Hollywood Hiah School in 1057 and ha.s maintained a 3.97 grade average at USC.
She received the Town and Gown Junior Auxiliary Scholarship for her senior year.
Miss Laemm!e. a 21-year-old English major said, "1 have en’oyed the opportunity of working on the Panhellenic pro2iam and meeting some of the top women on campus. They are enthusiastic, bright, intelligent, willing, and many of them have become my good friends.
“A sorority woman should not just be a sorority woman; there must be a relationship with university service, .scholarship, as well as fellowship within the sorority.
“A sorority must enable a woman to contribute by giving her support rather than downgrading her,” Miss Laemmle concluded.
Mortar Board, as well as Panhellenic, has been very rewarding, the 5-foot 5-inch senior said. "It is one of the few croups that practices the ideals it sets up.”
“It has been a pleasure to work with brilliant advisors. who really care about students.” she said.
After graduation in June. “Helen of Troy” plans to work for her Master's degree in English at an Eastern college.

One woman. Susan Laemmle. president of Panhellenic, «stands out in particular—not only because of her olive skin, large brown eyes, dignified stature and the clean-cut lines in her clothes, but because of her voice.
Her words are spoken softly, but they carry an immediate impact.
‘ Evaluating the pledge trainers meetings, I think they have been beneficial to all involved. The representatives Trom the houses have had a chance to exchange different Ideas and pledge programs.” Miss Laemmle says.
• Some houses need the advice more than others, but I fell that every house is able to gain something from the suggestions of others,” she adds.
After several women make a few impertinent remarks, the meeting is dismissed.
Then, a frustrated sorority house president discusses thp problems of house unity with Miss Laemmle for 26 minutes, so that the Panhellenic president can give her opinion.
We all run into problems while living in a sorority house." Miss Laemmle explains to her. Not everyone is ■ hie to bring out the best in others, enabling them to contribute to society and themselves."
The hectic, but satisfying meeting was over. Miss Laemmle hurriedly straightens up the Panhellenic office, runs down the first flight of Student Union stairs, and goes to the parking lot, in hope of finding her car.
Her baby blue "Sprite” was there, just as she had left It. in the morning. She and her parents picked it out in London, during a European tour.

UCLA Paper Cries Foul In Blood Duel
By HAL DRAKE Assistant City Editor Half the world may bo in revolt, but, as far as blood donations and 'military mutinies” are concerned, all s quiet on the W2stwood front.
As a matter of fact, the only thing revolting on the UCLA ' campus is a story that appeared in the Daily Trojan Monday.
The story printed in the Daily Trojan reported that the ROTC units at UCLA had refused to donate blood- in the current blood drive in protest of a new directive from the ROTC commanders which denied the soldier« release-time to donate.
Denies Rumor
Yesterday, the Daily Rruin. bristling with righteous indignation. denied the Daily Trojan story and claimed. "The UCLA ROTC units iare) on their way to fulfilling their blcod quotas."
In stining words, the Air Force and Navy spokesmen were quoted as predicting “ICO per cent” donations from their trainees and the Bruin clucked its tongue at the nasty old Daily Trojan.
The Bruin story included no such ringing denials from the Army ROTC. and a day of telephone calls to reporters, USC Blood Drive Committee member« and. finally the American National Red Cross ultimately unraveled the mystery.
UCLA’s new Army ROTC commander told his trainees that they would not be given merits for donating blood this year. This was learned by Stephanie Clark, a Red Cross worker, while she was on the UCLA campus.
No Merits
Miss Clark then mentioned the fact to one of her co-workers at the Red Cross. When USC’s Blood Drive Committee members called for information, the Red Cross co-worker (you following me?» told them that UCLA's ROTC would not be given merits for donating blood this year.
After many he said that she saids, the story reached the Daily Trojan's Blood Drive reporter as a ‘ lack of cooperation” among ROTC units and their commanders, resulting in a protest withdrawal of the 400 trainees.
Throat—lumpers
And the Daily Bruin, concious guardian of military as well as civil liberties, promptly jumped on our throats.
After quoting NaVy and Air Force leaders, the Bruin was careful to report that the Army ROTC "intends to actively support the blood drive (and) has been canvassing class sections to sign up student donors. "
So the Army is going to give blood, the Navy is going to give blood, we are going to give blood. Stephanie Clark is going to give blood and our reporter is definitely going to give blood.

To Fill Quota
A bizarre raqp took place at the Bloodmobile on campus this week. Dick and Bill Martin raced to see which one could till up a pint blood bottle faster.
For the last three years, the Martin brothers, both jurfiors at USC, have participated in this "bloody” game.
ft all started during the 1958 USC Blood Drive when the Martins. then freshmen, both gave blood at the same time. Being a competitive pair, the duet de cided to make race of it.

“We fell behind in the beginning but we are confident that we will attain our total quota of 650 pints.” Miss Spencer said.
