Falling $4500 short of the 6000 goal the Trovet Living 1 ar Memorial drive has to1 ate been moving slowly. The ag in contributions has been [primarily attributed to the ate arrival of government! checks to veteran students. Most of the veterans aven’t had time to cash
eir checks and submit their con-ributions to the recently - started ive to create a scholarship fund or tihe education of children who ost their parents in the last war. Although the cash contributions date amount to $1500, many ledges have been received in prc-lse of future contributions.
Trovet President Hal Carter stat-d yesterday that “Although the rive has been slow, I’m sure it ill pick up as it nears the end >n Dec. 7." In the mean time Carter akes a personal appeal to all stu-lents, especially veterans, to rally o the support of the campaign ommittee.
Al Asa-Dorian, chairman of he ampaign committee, has been very ratified with the support the or-anized groups on campus and opes to have a greater backing om thc entire student body. Although the contribution of $1 r student has been set up as the equirement for organized groups to ake the honor roll, the campaign mmittee urges all sudents to con-ribute what they can and not to sight of the fact that any mount given will be a great aid n reaching the $6000 goal.

The Crescent Theater group's intimate style production of “The Little Foxes” played before a capacity audience in the student lounge last night.
Lillian Heilman’s story of a greedy southern family came to life and stayed that way for three acts.
Generally the cast’s performance lacked the high polish of seasoned actors, but their parts were carried off well.
Edward Earle played the part of Oscar Hubbard, tyrannical husband to his long suffering wife, and carried his part extremely well.
Joe Flynn, television actor, also turned in a fine performance as Benjamin Hubbard, leader of the pack. Flynn's mastery of a healthy southern drawn and expressive facial expressions made his portrayal of the crafty Benjamin convincing.
The two leading feminine parts taken by Jan Sanders, as Birdie Hubbard, and Regina Giddens, as Marylyn Thorpe, deadliest member of the family of rattlesnakes, were played well.
This was the fourth play to be produced by the Crescent group. Tom Akers, SC drama student, directed the play. Other plays he produced with the group are “Hay Fever” and “The Importance of Being Earnest.” '
The informal atmosphere created by the intimate stage setting was

Name Building For Mohler, Directors Urge
The name of Orville Mohler, Trojan alumnus killed in the crash of an Air Force plane last Sunday, may be perpetuated forever on the SC campus by naming an auditorium, hall, or other appropriate structure in his honor,and inscribing a plaque to his memory.
The plan to honor this Trojan great is in a resolution drawn up by the Bcafd of Directors of the School of Commerce petitioning the Board of Trustees to honor Mohler. The resolution was adopted on November 28 and signed by Commerce Dean Reid Lage McClung, and Joe Micciche, president of the Commerce Alumni association.
The resolution points out that Orv Mohler's exploits on the gridiron while a student at SC from 1929 to 1933 form an epic story on the Trojan campus. His achievements brought undying fame to his Alma Mater.
Orv Mohler's record in the classroom while a student in the School of Commerce was brilliant and laundatory. He earned a bachelor of science degree in business administration and majored in management.
He was honored by his classmates in 1932-1933 by being elected student body president.
The resolution further points out that Orv Mohler had been an active member cf the General Alumni Association ever since his graduation. He followed the activities of SC with great interest, particularly those involving the School of Commerce.
Copies of the resolution outlined above have been sent to the members of the Board of Trustees, President Fagg, and Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid, for their approval.
-* SC’s proposal affiliation with the National Students association died Wednesday night after two hours of parliamentary jockeying which finished with the Senate voting 23-1 against the move.
Move and counter-move marked the evening’s debate as rival senators tried either to
force the issue or put it off. *
Howard Kotler started the wran-	I It r •

affiliations with NSA.
“There has been no change since the last time we met,” Andy Anderman, proxy for Jack Shaffer, said. At that time the Senate felt that not enough was known of student feeling to vote. There has been no change. I suggest a move to investigate further.” A roll call vote on Anderman's motion was defeated.
Ellen Potter, ASSC vice-president, moved that the Senate form a committee of the whole. The motion was accepted, and the Senate became a pure discussion group with no danger of forcing a vote on the question.
Andy Anderman moved for adjournment. His motion was defeated.
In the ensuing debate, the Senate got down to cases.
George Woolery asked that the three representatives that attended the NSA convention, Howard Kotler, Bob Flower, and Bill Gray, express their opinion on joining the group. They were all opposed to joining. .
Bob Padgett, ASSC president, came to the rescue of one of his election planks. “I have talked to West Coast NSA members and they all are sold on the organization,” Padgett said. “NSA broadens the horizons of each individual student. One senate observer’s report said that many NSA organizations voted to join International University Students. But the report didn’t say that IUS asked NSA to come in to clean up FJS. The FBI gives the NSA a clean non-communist bill of health.”
More debate heard senators calling for further study of NSA and others contending that the organization can do nothing for SC.
A motion was made for the committee to sit as the Senate again, and a roll call vote was taken turning down NSA.
For Lucky Apple Sale Patrons
Apples, the fruit that in the hands of Eve changed the course of human destiny, will again be fatal during the Troeds apple sale Wednesday.
Ah, but what a fate. Persons lucky enough to get one of three apples “fixed” by the freshman women’s club especially for the sale will be awarded prizes.
The apples will be sold from stands set up on the traffic islands in front of Bovard and Bridge hall. Proceeds will be divided between the YWCA building fund and the Trovet’s Living War Memorial fund.
Janet Smart, Troed president, announced that the three “fatal apples” may be exchanged by their buyer* for a $5 gift certificate from Phelps-Terkel, a blouse from Tree House, or a pen from Tam’s bookstore.

Scenes from the deserts of the Middle East to the snow capped slopes of Arctic Norway were shown last night in a premiere of foreign films at Hancock auditorium.
As part of the Festival of Contemporary Arts the films were documentary pictures showin? life, customs, and projects in Argentenian France, Egypt, India, Israel, and Norway.
The pictures were obtained by the Foreign Film council, a new organization of foreign students. This group intends to continue foreign shows during the spring semester.
“Purpose of the pictures is to familiarize students with other cultures,” said Armand Piwnica, chairman of the council.
Last night’s presentation included a factual record of Norway above the Arctic Circle during the summer months. The picture showed how a land, fed by the warmth by the gulf stream, can thrive under conditions which otherwise would prevent commercial agriculture. Laps of Lapland were shown in their native habitate.
India’s contribution to the evening’s program was two films produced by native artisans. “Shanti-Niketan,” which translated means “Home of the Peace,” was a pictorial presentation of life in the progressive university Shanti-Nike-tan in Calcutta. “Bharata-Natyan” depicted a classical Indian dance.
“The Arab Horse” showed the raising and training of Arabian horses and gave a glimpse into tjie social life of the Bedouin. It was presented on behalf of Egypt.
‘House in the Desert,” an Israel film, told of successful efforts made by Jewish scientists to reclaim the barren wastes around the Dead sea in Palestine. The story related how land which for several thousand years had not supported plant or animal life was transformed into a modem Garden of Eden. •
The French film, “Maillol,” was a documentary on* a day in the life of the French sculpturer by that name. It showed many of Maillol’s artistic works.
The last ''picture, “Tigre,” depicted life on the Plate river delta near Buenos Aires, Argentina.
who desire to contribute to the fund may do so after the show, director Stan Palmer said The three-act comedy farce had a successful run in the Student Union lounge last Sept. 16-19, Palmer said.
The same play was made into a moving picture called “The Kid from Brooklyn,” starring Danny Kaye. Bill Means plays the lead in the comedy Monday.

Prof Lectures Earth. Shakes
Dr. Thomas Clements, profe«*or of geology, is getting a little hesitant about lecturing on earthquakes, he disclosed today.
He spoke Nov. 17 to the Rotary club in Bakersfield on the subject, and a few hours later a tremblor damaged almost 200 oil wells in Wilmington.
In 1933 he discussed earthquakes in a talk in Los Angeles. Within a week, the disastrous Long Beach quake occurred.
Oh yes, Dr. Clements does not predict an earthquake in the near future.
Motto Writer Put Below; No Trophy—Big Hello ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Slogan Prize Fouled Again
Jack Scott is still waiting to find out what his homecoming slogan trophy .looks like.
“I’ve just about given up ever seeing the trophy,” he said. Then he added miserably, “I don’t think that slogan was worth the trouble it's caused.”	t
Scott, a quiet, curly-haired sophomore who rigged up the controversial “Alumni Get Big Hello While Injun Get Put Below,” soon discovered that fame and success are not a bed of roses.
“Besides having my slogan used as the basis of Zlatich and Ox-stein's most cutting satire,” he said. “I used back alleys and shortcuts for weeks to escape the sarcasm of many of my friends.”
Scotty is not sure whether his friends were jealous of his success or just didn’t like the slogan.
