Film Series To Present One-Reelers
The film making wizardry of Georges Melies, pioneer French movie-maker, will be shown tonight at 8 in Hancock auditorium as part of the Film Classics series.
Melies will show five of his most famous one-reelers. They are “The Conjurer.” “A Trip to the Moon,” “The Palace of the Arabian Nights,” “The Doctor’s Secret,” and “The Conquest of the Pole.”
FILMS OF FANTASY These films were all made in the period between 1899 and 1912. They are tales of the magical, mystical, and supernatural. Melies was one of the few movie-makers of this period who realized that films of fantasy could be made.
One of his most famous films “A Trip to the Moon” concerns a scientist who builds a rocket and flys to the moon. There he finds a fantastic form of acrobatic people who disappear into a puff of smoke when touched.
BECAME POPULAR This fantasy type film became very popular in the United States and was copied by many movie companies. In an attempt to combat this thievery, Melies started painting his copyright on some part of the set in his pictures.
Although the work of Melies is almost forgotten by today’s moviegoers, it stands as an initial step in film production. He was one of the first to use the camera as a means of personal expression.
CAMERA TRICKS Besides bringing many camera tricks to the screen, Melies brought many theatrical elements into films, such as costuming, sets, and precision gymnastics. He was one of the first in his country to edit films and arrange individual scenes to present a narrative.
The artistry of Melies was greatly advanced for his day but American business methods foroed him into bankruptcy. He died penniless in 1938 in a home for destitute actors.
Traveling Irish. Helmet May Become SC-ND Grid Trophy
The Trojan varsity did not come home from South Bend entirely empty-handed. A member of the squad brought home a shining gold ND helmet belonging to Larry Coutre, the Irish will-o’the-wisp halfback.
Speculation was running high in sport circles today on whether the guarded possession may not in time become more prized than an SC victory.	' '
If the SC player will part with the helmet, it is thought by some that a football trophy can be made of it—like the Hatchet, the Little Brown Jug. the Old Oaken Bucket, and the Victory Bell.
By coincidence the helmet bears the same number as that worn by the late Col. Orv Mohler when he played for the Trojans. As memorials for the great quarterback are being talked of and planned for it has been suggested that the helmet be made a memorial trophy to the all-time SC great.
Anyone who has any ideas about the formulation of a trophy can contact the helmet bearing player through the DT.

The second part is a $25 award. This sum will go to the electrical engineering senior who has maintained the highest grade point average throughout his years at SC. Administered by the engineering
student body, the scholarship is financed by th^^n gineering council and Sigma Phi Delta, engineering social fraternity, through money collected at an annual dance.
“The engineering council is to be coinmended for its work in planning and administering this scholarship. The fact that the scholarship is maintained through the combined efforts of the students in the council makes their efforts particularly praiseworthy,” said Dean Robert E. Vivian.
The scholarship was established in honor of the late Phillip Biegler, pioneer in engineering education. He came to SC in 1923 where he took charge of the electrical engineering department. He was dean of the School of Engineering from 1928 to 1940.
BILL MEANS and friends are shown here in a scene from the comedy "The Milky Way." The play will open at 2:30 p.m. today in the student lounge. There will be no charge for admission but the URA and Trovet backers hope fhat the audience will contribute to the War Memorial.

oreign Student Tours o Visit L.A. Meccas
jForty foreign college students ill investigate a few of L.A.'s faims to fame this week.
| Celebrating Internatioifal Stu-ent week, the fortunate 40 will j it Griffith observatory, Knotts srry Farm. Olvera street, and a avie studio during the six day Dgrazn.
PC. UCLA, LACC, and Pepper-college are taking part in the Irogram which is being sponsored |y the Ameridan Red Cross.
"The purpose of International tudent week is to acquaint for-students with Los Angeles and colleges and universities.” Betty Jilger, vice-president of the RC nipus chapter, said Friday. [Foreign students will take part round table discussions that will held at the four participating fstitutions and at Compton col-re. They will tour L A. as guests the city.
1 Each school will select students take part in the activities.” Miss fger said: “They will be selected the basis of grades, personality,
Iigth of time spent in this coun-r, and their ability to speak Eng-!» fluently.”
SC will begin its share of the program this afternoon at 1 when eight student guides will conduct the 40 tourists through the county museum. Courtland McMann. Mary Ann Copple. Davenia Nason, and Betty Bilger are among the committee's members.
Activities will continue at 3:15 when the foreign students hold a roundtable discussion on “Promoting International Understanding Through Campus and Community Contacts” in the art and lecture room of University library.
Bernard L Hyink, dean of students; Dr. Ross Berkes, professor of international relations; Dr. Theodore Hsi-En Chen, professor of Asiatic studies; Dr. Martin H. Neumeyer. professor of sociology; and Mrs. Albert Zech. will also take part in the forum.
Members of the Intercultural club will also be invited to the discussion.
“This method of helping foreign students understand our mode of living, our ideas, and our ideals has been sponsored by the Red Cross for two years and has been very successful,” Miss Bilger said.
Britten Opera Readied for SC
A second West Coast premiere of composer - pianist Benjamin Britten's work is being rehearsed by School of Music students as another featured event of the third annual Festival of Contemporary Arts.
Britten, who directed the highly successful Pacific premiere of his “Saint Nicolas Cantata” in Bovard auditorium Wednesday night, polished the Opera Workshop's rehearsals of his comic-opera, “Albert Herring,” this week.
The opera will be presented in Bovard auditorium Dec. 9, 10, 12, and 15.
Dr. Carl Ebert, head of the opera department, will direct the performances. Wolfgang Martin of the School of Music faculty will conduct a 14-piece orchestra and play piano accompaniments for the recitatives.
An all-student cast will sing the opera. Hendrick de Boer, graduate student, will sing the tenor part of the title role. He has given recitals throughout the United States, singing in 46 states.
Theodore Uppman. who sang with the San Francisco and Salt Lake City Civic operas, will play the part of Sid, Herring's friend.
Lucine Amara and Jean Fenn will have the feminine roles. Miss Arna-ra has sung with the San Francisco Symphony. Miss Fenn sang with the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra in a recent concert.
Leslie E. Claypool, the dean of Sacramento political writers, Friday night blamed the people as well as individual legislators for any corruption in the state capital.
Speaking before the American Society for Public Administration in Town and Gowti, the heavy set political editor of the Daily News praised youthful legislators of both parties who go north full of zeal for the public good only to be frightened by special interests.
Pleading for an alert electorate, Claypool said:
“The present legislature is pretty good, but we’re all to blame for bad lawmakers. If we could pay them enough and train them we could solve our legislative problems.” Claypool revealed that Arthur Samish does not rule the lobbyists in the state.
DOESN’T RULE LOBBYISTS “This is not a realistic belief. He is just the most* colorful and the most talkative of the lobbyists, and has the most money.”
Continuing his attack against lobbyists, some of whom represent the press, Claypool told of interesting poker games where lawmakers can usually win.
Shifting his attack, Claypool explained his stand on the loyalty oath for public men and educators.
“I think It is a mockery to make professors who have served long and
honorably in their community as citizens swear to a loyalty oath. If they are as bad as they say they are, a Communist would not hesitate to lie under such an oath.” Not mentioning any names, Claypool said that there was a certain big politician from Alameda who, if a state board is set up to fight smog, will try to wangle his way in to fix everything for industry and the big refineries.
Claypool then went on to say that many legislators are in favor of a unicameral legislature, but that tradition is holding them back.
DROPS PREPARED SPEECH “We have enough checks and balances without another house,” he said. He mentioned the governor’s veto as one of these checks.
At this point, Claypool dropped his ^prepared speech and displayed the charm that has won him many readers. With a smile on his well jowled face, he said:
“If you're not a radical before you’re 20, there’s something the matter with your heart, but if you are a radical after 50, there’s something the matter with your head— like mine.”
Continuing, Claypool said, “I’d rather speak to young men like you, who wish to learn, instead of a group of fat men like me, who sit back, belch, and pick their teeth in boredom.”

Early entries followed today’s opening of the School of Architecture’s contest for the naming of its $16,500 student-designed model home. The contest will continue through Friday.
Seven cash prizes totaling $100 will be awarded to the winning student-entered names. First place winner will receive $25, second place $20 and third place $15, with four other awards of $10 each to be given.
There is a box on the candy' counter of the Student Union * for contestant's titles, according to Dean Arthur B. Gallion of the School of Architecture who is di- | recting the project.
The winning name will be used in local and national press releas-es as well as on television and radio features. National magazines will also feature the newly named home when it is formally opened during the first week in January.
The title should be typical of the project, which is similar to previous plans for a “Dream House,” "House of Tomorrow,” and
“Hospitality House,” according to Dean Gallion.
Located in Baldwin Hills Village Gardens, the ranch-style home is typical of California architecture. It is planned around a flowered garden, with the two bedrooms, living room, and kitchen facing the outdoor patio. Two bathrooms and extra large closet spacing are included in the design. A high wall around the one-story structure affords privacy from street noises.
Jerald King, Jack Strickland. Paul Tay. and Harry Wilson, architecture seniors, designed the house. Land and construction costs are being provided by the California Federal Savings & Loan association. The home will be completely furnished before going on display.
On Display In Harris Hall
Primitive arts of a half dozen semi-civilized tribes and races will adorn the cases of Harris hall this week.
An associate professor and two students loaned their collections of primitive works for the display which is a feature of the third annual Festival of Contemporary Arts.
Carved Melanesian figures flown from the South Pacific by Don Williams, fine arts student, are among the items glassed in for the study of Harris hall’s visitors.
Ralph Johnstone, assistant professor of the department of fine arts, provided African and Indian pieces for the display. Another student, William Klem, loaned other Indian relics.
African masks, a Guatemalan head cloth, a copy of an Aztec book, Indian sand-painting reproductions and Southwest Indian Kachina dolls also have cupboard space in the collection. The exhibit will be on display until Saturday.
With contributions beginning to come in faster and hitting the $2000 mark, the Trovet’s Living War Memorial drive has begun to show definite signs of reaching its $6000 goal by Dec. 7.
A further boost to the drive is expected today when proceeds from “The Milky Way” are-*-—
received. Admission is free, but | contributions will be taken after the show for the memorial fund.
This play, sponsored by the University Recreation association, will be presented at 2:30 today in the student lounge.
“One reason for the increased contributions is the fact that many veterans have received their checks and can now back the drive,” Al Asa - orian, fund chairman, pointed out in his report.
UC PRAISED University coliege students and officers and Alpha Phi Omega, campus service fraternity, received special recognition from Asa-Dorian.
The UC goal was reached after four days of collections by members of Alpha Phi Omega. They received the full support and cooperation of the UC president, Ernest Elmer, and the council.
Organizations who have voted a 100 per cent contribution should turn in their names immediately, said Asa-Dorian, so that they may receive recognition. Checks, he said, should be mailed as soon as possible to the university, Bex 103 or to 405 Student Union.	•
Letters have been sent to 750 veterans and those who wish to contribute should mail checks immediately or turn the money in at one of the booths, according to Asa-Dorian.
MILKMAN IS GRADE A The man who became world champ, the muscleless milkman of “The Milky Way,” fights another round today when he appears in the benefit matinee this afternoon.
Burleigh Sullivan, confused hero of the Grade A. Homogenized farce, will be played by Bill Means whose last performance in the same part received excellent reviews. Direction is being handled by Stan Palmer.

Apple Buyers To Aid Trovet War Memorial
Apple eaters will not be the only ones to benefit from the Troeds apple sale Wednesday, according to Janet Ewart, president.
Plans have been made to divide the proceeds equally between the Trovet's Living War Memorial fund and the YWCA building fund.
In addition to performing their proverbial task of keeping the doctor away, three special apples will be tagged by Troeds to bring their buyers an extra reward.
Purchasers of the three lucky apples will have their choice of a $5 gift certificate from Phelps-Terkel, a pen from Tam's bookstore, or a blouse from the Tree house.
This is the first time in two years that the sale has been held, Martha Engles, sales chairman, said. At. the last sale the group made $30, which was turned over to the Y. Miss Engles expressed the hope that the sale will be more profitable this year since the proceeds are to be divided between two funds.
The big candied apples may be purchased for 10 cents at the booths on the traffic islands in front of Bovard and Bridge hall.
The sale will last from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
SC-Loyola Casaba Tickets on Sale
Rooter's tickets go on sale at 9 this morning for Friday's SC-Loyola basketball game.
Thirty-five hundred tickets will be available at the ticket office for activity book-holder Nos. 1-4000.
The game will start at 8:15 p.m. in Pan Pacific auditorium.
Teammates Attend Mohler Services
The final gun sounded at 11 a.m. Friday for all-American Orv Mohler as throngs of friends and admirers gathered at the Church of the Recession in Glendale to see the great SC backfield ace retire from the field for the last time.
Dr. Wendell L. Miller, minister of the university Methodist church, delivered the eulogy.
Services were conducted by the army, and Mohler was given full military honors. Army officers aeted as pall-bearers while 40 former teammates of the 1930, 1931 team acted as honorary pall-bearers.
The large gathering watched the precision movements of the army, heard the Rev. Dr. Miller’s eulogy, listened to “Nearer My God to Thc” and “The Lord’s Prayer” and finally saw the interment at Forest Lawn at noon as the final period ended for one of SC’s football greats.
Students See Display of Model Homes
"My wife would be nuts about this one,” exclaimed one student as he admired one of the 24 miniature model homes now being shown in 103 Harris hall.
Large daily crowds reflect the popularity of “An Expandable Home,” theme of this current exhibit in the School of Architecture.
The carefully drawn plans and minutely constructed models of the exhibit show how second year architectural design students met the problem of designing a home to be built with limited funds.
The home had to have enough flexibility to allow two bedrooms and a bathroom to be added at a later date.
Each of the ultra-modem models has a living-dining room, kitchen, small sleeping room, bath, and service area. Car shelters and patios also are included in the designs.
To the last brick, the models are true replicas of the finished homes. Looking through the outside glass walls of the three-dimensional miniatures, tiny pieces of furniture can be seen in many of the rooms.

Anyone seen a stray reindeer lately?
Might be just the thing the University Recreation association needs to help haul loads of peppermint candy canes on campus this week to promote their forthcoming dance, the Candy Cane Capers.
The Capers, to be neld Dec. 10 in the Student lounge, is one of the

“The army doesn't make them big enough,” emphasized publicity director Norris Schulatsky. "Couldn't get all the curvaceous cuties of the URA Swim club into it with the candy canes they'll be passing out.”

Bob King and his six-piece orchestra, plus a return of Trolio and television acts, will round 'Hit the evening’s entertainment. Tickets, 50 cents per person, go on sale next week.
The URA policy committee, be-
Ed Isenberg and Ted Tate, social co-chairmen, put their heads together.
“How about a helicopter and little parachutes to drop the stuff?” Isenberg queried.
“No dice,” Tate exclaimed.
“Every pilot I ever knew had a sweet tooth and possessive eyes. Besides wed be feeding kids from Redondo Beach to San Fernando, when it's for Trojans only.”
The committee solemnly bowed thrice toward Tommy Trojan.
“For Trojans only,” they all intoned.
Late last night weary and exhausted after considering dog teams, snowmobiles, the pony express. Gorgeous George, singlehumped camels, and sling shots, the committee came up with that carryall of all trades—the jeep.
Still—any6ody seen any stray reindeer lately?
