Officials Claim Trojans Below In Blood Flow
Representatives of the Red Cross notified Blood Drive Chairman Jim West last night that USC was “seriously below’’ the number of blood donations needed to meet the university's expected quota.
The notice came on the eve of the fix’st day of blood collection, which begins at the Methodist Church today. The Red Cross officials noted that USC was far ahead of last year's score in the Blood Drive, but still needed more donations than Chairman West had anticipated.
USC will need 160 donors a day to fill the Red Cross Blood-mobile to capacity. As of yesterday, less than 123 students had signed pledges during the week-long advance donor drive.

USC's debate team survived three days of competition over the weekend in Arizona to win four first place trophies and a sweepstakes award. The team garnered two firsts in debate and one each in impromptu and extemporaneous speech competition.
They alsc brought home the
coveted Sweepstakes Trophy by compiling 126 points through preliminary "and final competition in the Desert Invitational Tournament hosted by the University of Arizona at Tucson.
More than 28 colleges and universities representing nine Southwestern and Western states were present at the tournament, competing in junior and senior men's divisions and a women’s division.

West said that
‘ You can’t work toward an end reward like this one because it is so relative. I’ve participated in activities because I’ve enjoyed them,” she said.
“My primary interest is seeing students accept responsibilities in student government, and I’d like to see more students interested in the welfare of USC,” she emphasized.
Miss Furbass feels that Mortar Board has been her most rewarding student activity,
“The contacts I have made in Mortar Board and the projects we have undertaken, such as the ‘Focus on Faculty’ program have been very worthwhile,” she said.
The 21-year-old sponsor of Senate resolutions is a history-social studies major and an English minor. After graduation she hopes to do graduate work at the University of California at Berkeley and eventually to become a teacher in secondary education.
Both students and faculty expressed happiness in the selection of Miss Furbass as the second "Helen of Troy.” High praise also came from Dr. Gerald A. Larue, associate professor of religion, who said Miss Furbass was a “terrific choice.”

Calypso Group Will Entertain Student Body
Musical rhythms captured from the land of the Caribbean will be played by a USC student calypso steel band in front of Bovard Auditorium today at noon.
Performing by popular student request, the newly-formed eight piece band will render favorites ranging from typical calypso to the merengue. Topping the list will be ‘Mary Ann,” “Jamaica Farewell,” “Liza” and the band’s own arrangement of “Fight On —Calypso.”

Education In Communist China is deliberately used as an instrument for building a proletarian-socialist society. Its C9ri-tral aim is to produce persons with the Marxist outlook, equipped with production skills, willing to adopt the leadership of j the Communist party, and always ready to serve the party and the state.
This statement was made by Dr. Theodore H. Chen, head of the Asiatic studies department, at Sunday’s regional meeting of the American Association oi School Administrators in San Francisco.
Vast Program
“The entire population is included in a vast program of edu cation. There are numerous kinds of part-time schools, spare-time schools, short-term institutes and special classes designed to produce immediate results. Illiteracy is being reduced; many millions of people are learning to read and write,” he said.
Education, however, is synonymous with indoctrination and propaganda. Its purpose is not to enlighten, but to produce submissive individuals obedient to the state and the Communist party, the professor noted.

“On the contrary, the main function of education is to increase the production ability of young and old.
Twin Objectives
“Production and politics are the twin objectives of education, since the education is designed to produce individuals who can increase the production potential of the country and who are loyal supporters of the Communist program, Dr. Chen explain-eu.
He emphasized the importance of Americans having an accurate knowledge of Chinese Communist education.

our education serves our democracy as well as the Communist education serves communism.
Social Purpose
“In other words, ao we have a clearly conceived social purpose that permeates our educational program?” he asked.
Finallly, we must be intelligent in our endeavor to combat communism. Too many people oppose communism without taking the trouble to find out what it is and what is really wrong with it, Dr. Chen said.
We must take time to study Communist education, to knowhow the Communists are trying to mold the thinking and attitudes of the people, and what success or failures they have met. With such knowledge, we should be able to evaluate more accurately the enemy face, be concluded.
