Ukrainian Zeal Shown'in Film Classic Tonight
“Arsenal," a film of revolution In Russia, will be shown tonight at 8 in the Film Classics series in Hancock auditorium.
The film, made by Alexander Dovzhenko in 1929, is based on the revolutions in the Ukraine after World War L The Ukrainians, having no voice in the Russian government, were stimulated by oppression to fight against the Tsar.
In an attempt to show the spirit of the Ukrainian working class, Dovzhenko made a film that is a series of images built on each other to convey his ideas and emotions.
Dovzhe^nko’s scenes of the wartime front, and the soldiers return- | ing to the misery at home, have I been acclaimed as poetic images. 1 They are evidence of a hatred for j brutality and a faith in humanity j that is profoundly universal and grows in significance.
Tickets for the film series may be obtained at the ticket office for $3.

SC Chaplain To Talk Today
The necessity and desirability of being more uninformed than in-J formed will be discussed by the Rev. Clinton Neyman, in his address “If We Knew All the Answers” at noon today in Bowne : hall.
“Our certainties are fewer than our uncertainties,” he said, “and i religion, like science and all knowledge. is a constant venture into the unknown. We cannot be sure what the future holds in any aspect of j our life.”
Chaplain Neyman said that not knowing enough answers is, often embarrassihg to college students, but he emphasized his talk would not reveal how to prepare for examinations or ensure higher grade-point averages.
He opined that we may think we want to be sure of the future but questioned that we really wanted this.
William Gayland will be th^ chapel soloist.

Shaw's plays have long been international favorites, playing in almost all parts of the world, and appealing to all nationalities.
His popularity is evidenced by the fact that two of his plays, “The Devil's Disciple” and “Caesar and Cleopatra," are playing on Broadway now.
An iconoclast. Shaw has continually denounced social injustices. His first plays, which he began writing after 1894, were published but not produced. They were all concerned with social problems and were read as much for their discursive prefaces as for the plays themselves
In 1910 the Shaw craze began and has never ceased. Shaw was accepted as a great playwright, a fact which he himself is the first to admit.
In “Fanny’s First Play” Shaw displays his idol-busting approach by attacking the complacency of the middle classes whose lives are surrounded by Victorian conserva-atism.
The play will run through Mar. 28, with the exception of Sunday. Admission is free with activity cards.

of Fascism and the real nationalism which he claimed was the essential step in the emancipation of common man.
Stegman countered with the assertion that this identification with countries makes people demand that their government exert a great influence in the world at the expense of other nations.
Titoism was touched on by Steg-Dan when he said that Tito was not reviving nationalism. He felt that it was more of a self expression.
Reid's argument was based on the fact that people rush into associations without knowing where it will take them. If they wind up in an adverse position, then they look aound for a scapegoat to blame. He said that they find this scapegoat in nationalism. He then compared nationalism to a dog which is being kicked and beaten.
Reid differed with Stegman when he said that Tito was reviving nationalism in Europe and that he was the first glimmer of hope to the world.
Kureishi, arguing his last intercollegiate debate, pointed to Russia as an example of a country reviving nationalism. He said that they use it to exploit the other small countries in Europe and Asia.
Dr. Milton Dickens, acting chairman of the department of speech, presided over the debate.
ROBERT KELLY Tells of NSA
told of the organization’s membership and powers.
“We have no individual class members in NSA.” the 20-year-old president said. “We are an association—a federation of student bodies.” As such NSA is subject to the control of the student bodies and 1 their elected governments on campus. Kelly emphasized.
RETAIN AUTONOMY
NSA's member schools retain their autonomy, he said. NSA policy is subject to the consent of the local student government. This, he said, refutes charges that NSA holds coercive power.
The association is also regional, Kelly said. There are from 24 to 26 geographical districts that serve as links between the local campus and the national organization.
Speaking on the word “student" in the organization's title, he said that the association is dedicated solely to students. “There is no political or religious partisanship in NSA,” the St. Peter’s college senior said. The organization serves students and is staffed by students.
As to the “national” part of the name, Kelly said this meant not only members in all parts of the nation, but a national ideological scope. The 320 member schools range from large state universities to small denominational colleges. TELLS AIMS

“Red she'll be and red she’ll 1 stay,” was the word from Ralph T. Dorsey’s traffic engineering office : Friday on the controversial red curbings on University avenue.
No-parking signs will be removed this week, and all curbs will be painted red. The total effect of this operation will be to make illegal even the unloading of passengers on University avenue from 34th street to Exposition boulevard.
Dorsey said that a university request for the restriction of parking or standing was filed Feb. 9 and that the removal of the signs means that the three-minute standing period will be revoked.
The present confusion began
when the red curb markings were blacked out over the Christmas holidays. Returning students thought that it meant parking on the avenue was to be legal. Parking tickets soon proved that University avenue was still a resrictcd area. City police of the University division expressed a desire to allow parking on the avenue, but university officials feared that pedestrians would be in danger when passing between the parked automobiles. They also said that the appearance of 9C’s main thorough-; fare would be ruined.
The law now prohibits parking j or standing. Traffic will be kept ■ moving on University avenue.
Architectural Design Exhibit to Open Today
An exhibit of the work of second-year architecture students in designing will go on display in the patio of Harris haljr today.
The subject of the designs is a clinic and hospital for a small California community. Drawings of a similar project are required for the recent State Board of Architecture examination.	s
Under the direction of Clayton M. Baldwin, associate professor of architecture, students were instructed to design a one-story structure with concrete or masonry exterior walls for the combination clinic and 10-bed hospital.
Site for the building was to be a level northwest corner lot, 150 ieet square, with a major street to the south.
A minimum setback of 20 feet from the two street property lines
and 5 feet from the side property lines was required.
Parking space for doctors and nurses and a minimum parking area for visitors was also to be provided.
Included in the plan for the clinic were a waiting room and receptionist's office, to serve both the clinic and hospital; two doctor's offices, each with an examination and treatment room: an X-ray room; a laboratory: and a dark room.
The plan for the hospital calls for six private rooms, two wards with two beds each, a nursery, a pharmacy,^! operating room and scrub-upa delivery room, a nurses’ ^Bon. a kitchen with service ani Worage. and a sterile preparation room.
The designs will probably be on display for two weeks.
2000 Sign Vivisection Petitions
Flying Club Joins Society of Cadets
The SC chapter of Alpha Rho Omega, national professional aviation fraternity, has announced that the national conclave of the Arnold Society of Air Cadets has accepted their petition for affiliation.
Philip Kelgard. cadet major, and William J. Becker, vcie-president of the chapter, presented the petition at a recent meeting of the group in Cincinnati. The two were flown to Cincinnati by the Air Force,1 Robert E. Vivian.
Exuberant pharmacy students estimated Friday that 2000 students have signed petitions requesting the City council to release unclaimed pound animals to research institutions.
The petitions, aimed at blocking passage of an antivivisectionist ordinance before the City council, are being circulated on the Row. at the School of Dentistry building downtown, the School of Medicine division at the County hospital, and in front of the Student Union.

“The contributions that scientists have made in the last 50 years to alleviate human suffering could not have been made without the aid rendered by animals,” he said.
The drive for signatures is being conducted by students in Schools of Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Medicine. Econome is assisted by School of Pharmacy students George San-
ders, Fred Seech, Don Moss, Maynard Boggie, Don Pipkin, Dick Franklin, Hal Gould, Stan Barken, Bob Simons, Clell Piper, and Galen Fox.
Students in pharmacy, dentistry, and medicine wrote more than 2000 letters to the Board of Supervisors last October in protest to its action in shutting the pound to scientists.
The ASSC Senate unanimously approved a resolution at that time which declared the training of medical students and medical research was threatened by the scarcity of animals and asked that animals be released to research groups.
Al Asa-Dorian, Trovet president, said the city was losing $10,000 a year as the result of not turning over some 2000 unclaimed dogs and cats to scientists. “These animals are now being uselessly destroyed while research workers are unable to purchase the animals at $4.50 each,” Asa-Dorian said.
Logen Fox, president Phi Delta Chi, pharmacy fraternity, is in charge of securing student signatures on the row.
