Sassiety Hearlds Forthcoming Vulch
Astute followers of contemporary American literature were nipping at their nails with .keen anticipation yesterday, awaiting the publication of the Vulture, the poetry, prose and illustrative vehicle of Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalism fraternity. The journal will be placed on newsstands prior to the tea hour tomorrow, price 15 pence.
Prominent persons all along rhe culture belt have expressed interest in this year’s Vulture, which reportedly has reached a new pinnacle of reporting, graphic art work, and literary exposition. Some of the art work is particularly exposing.
Spinsters Elated Miss Bethatine Prim, president of the Pasadena Wednesday Morning Spinsters Reading group, was sent some tear sheets of the Vulture. Her acknowledgement was exhuberant:
“The girls in the group have taken a new lease on life after
reading excerpts from your publication.” “They can hardly wait to see the finished product when it is published tomorrow.”
Mrs. Gloria Deafenbocke, mother of an SC sorority coed, was also sent some tear sheets of Vulture stories to get her opinion.
“How could Ken Shanks and other censors ever have any unkind words to say about this publication.” Mrs. Deafenbocke said, “it is clearly a work of masterful reporting and uncovering of some very informatiye facts.”
Vulch is Nowhere
To complete a cross-section of prospective readers, tear sheats were sent to Algernon W. Katt, record shop owner. His comments: “Man, this Vulch is the greatest! The cartoons are really far out,” he said, hopping up and down and swinging his key chain. “Readers will really dig those impossible photos and gone stories. It’s a real cool readin'—strictly for us cats.”
Committee Chairmen < . Needed by Foreman As Campaign Begins
Work has begun on the Trovets’ 1952 Living War Memorial drive and committee chairman appointments will be announced next week, said Roy Foreman, general manager, yesterday.
“Volunteer response has been good, but we need more students on every committee,” Foreman said.
The LWM is a scholarship established as a practical tribute for those who gave their lives in the war: It is awarded to a son or daughter of one of these men.
Offer Services
“Several young ladies have volunteered for secretarial work," Foreman said, but committee chairmanships are still available.
“Students need not be veterans,” he said. “This is a campus-wide drive and an student is eligible to do committee work.
The six chairmanships are on the publicity, projects, secretarial, collections, finance, and the off-campus drive committees.
“Applications are being taken this week in the special activities office, 215 SU,” Foreman said.
Split Up
The drive will be divided into two phases, Foreman explained. On campus, the campaign will be held during the week of Dec. 8 to 12.
Off-campus, efforts will be made to raise funds through alumni and contacts with local business and fraternal organizations.
Two campus activities are the annual Christmas readings by Dr. Frank C. Baxter, profe^or of English, and a noontime variety show.
“Jim Shipula and Mel Shestack are already working on the variety show,” Foreman said. “They are seeking talent as well as workers for the show.”
Foreman may be contacted by telephone at Richmond 8-9484. -beat the bruins*-

SC Handbook Editor Seeks Student Help
Advertising men, copywriters, and good cartoonists are being sought by the new editor of the Student Handbook, Alan Carpenter.
“Anyone that becomes a staff member automatically becomes a member of the Greater University committee,” Carpenter said.
The yearly student handbook is published primarily to acquaint new students with SC’s traditions and institutions. It is also a handy reference for orienting students.
‘The book will be published this summer for next fall. Anyone qualified for the jobs are welcome to apply. Of course, I want hard working Trojans,” Carpenter said.
Binder holes are expected to be placed on the book so it can fit into any loose-leaf notebook. Carpenter is investigating the possibility of sending the book to anyone applying for admission to the university.
“But one thing is for sure,” he said. “Next year’s handbook will have a new map without errors
Interested students should contact Alan Carpenter by next Wednesday at Richmond 89765.

Row Drinking Overplayed?
by Tom Eilken
“Overemphasized” was the consensus of opinions yesterday regarding drinking on the row.
Most students quizzed answered in the lighter vein reflecting the insignificance with which they regarded the “problem.”
Answers ran the gamut from poetry to Marxian humor (Groucho style).
Along University avenue your reporter stopped Charles Martin, senior LAS student and Beta Sigma Tau. He felt that “if houses are considered part of the campus, students should comply with the rules regarding drinking.”
Overemphasized
He felt, however, that the entire affair was overemphasized.
Dorothy Fucci. senior Alpha Omicron Pi, was queried while waiting for a ride back to her house.
“I believe everything has its time a ad its place,” she said “I don’t say that drinking exists in fraternities but it certainly wouldn’t be proper.”
Looking up from his typewriter in the DT city room, Bob Krauch, junior journalism student, looked surprised when asked what he thought about thr problem.
Nothing Wrong
“I see nothing wrong with a few empty bottles in a trash can. Numerous cases of colds have
been reported recently,” he said.
“Is there anything wrong when a sick fraternity brother goes to bed at night with a hot lemonade?” he asked.
Henry Hopkins, freshman student and Ken Shanks’ roommate, said with a twinkle in his eye, “No comment, don’t you think?” Anent the empty bottles which have been found in the trash cans, Wertdell Casey, ASSC president. said. “Apparently they have been emptied elsewhere and then brought back and dumped as a matter of convenience.”
Malicious Use Elva Soper, Sudent Union chairman. claimed, “Someone is using our garbage cans maliciously.'
A number of students quizzed believed that it is all a prank and that the bottles have been purposely placed in the cans just to cause undue consternation.
Jim Raeder, freshman Sigma Phi Epsilon, believed that “students from UCLA bring their empty bottles over in a truck and toss them in our trash cans. Ken Shanks follows up behind the truck, claiming the evidence.” Driving to Drink Dick Moore, another Sigma Phi Epsilon, said, “Could be that the sorority women are driving the men to drink.”
Overhearing this remark, Louise Vancore and Barbara Brooks, who admitted to being “just senior
students.” jokingly answered, “If I a reference table. She was thumb-
they think they’re being driven to drink, they should see our ash-cans.”
By that time your reporter was getting thirsty and walked over to Fig Lane for a “malt.”
One of the bartenders there was queried on the subject and said, “If they’re driving anyone to drink let them drive them in here.”
Poetic Opinion Pat Patterson, president of studying at the base of Tommy Trojan. Looking up, he first apologized to Omar Khayyam, and then said, with a far away look in his eye:
“Come fill the cup, and in the fire of spring Your winter garment of repent-ence fling.”
Pat Brink, DT news editor, wanted to know “if Fig Lane was really being run out of business because of all the drinking in the fraternity ‘bars’.”
Footballer Speaks Des Koch, footballer and leading punter in the nation, was stopped en route to the library in company with a certain lovely.
Not living on the row, he said, “What’s the matter with drinking on the row?’- Then he quickly added, “As long as I’m not on it.” In the library your reporter found Rocki Rhoads dressed in a strapless black taffeta seated at
ing through volume after volume of medical journals.
$
“I am the University president of FDKCEL,” she acknowledged, “and what I am digging up to tell the fraternities will shock them out of their effervescence.” Southern Branch When asked what FDKCEL meant she answered, “The Found-ation for the Dissemination of Knowledge Concerning the Evils of Liquor—southern branch.” Merrill Schaffert, junior journalism major, sumed it up this way.
“The investigations have created a problem which otherwise would never exist. If anything, they would tend to stimulate drinking.”
“It’s a natural tendency for people to do something when told not to,” he said.
Overpublicizing «
John Callos, freshman in commerce, agreed. “Drinking is all right,” he said. “Overpublicizing the affair has done, more harm than good.”
Greg Krasel, sophomore Sigma Phi Epsilon, was asked what he thought about the row drinking problem.
“It’s an ugly rumor,” he said. Pete Champlin, freshman student from the same fraternity, lifted his eyebrows and asked, “There’s a problem?”
Briton to Talk On Far East
Robert H. Hadow, counsul-gen-eral from Great Britain, will dis cuss “Britain’s Role in the Far East” Wednesday at 3:15 p.m. in 129 Founders hall. The speech is designed partly to refute the contentions presented by ex-Ambas-sador William Bullitt when he spoke here Oct. 28.
Dr. Ross N. Berkes, chairman of the department of international relations, arranged for the Briton's speech.
“The counsul-general is concerned that the student body be given an account of the British position in the Far East, particularly in the light of the considerable exception which he took to some points raised by ex-Ambas-sador Bullitt in his appearance here on behalf of Eisenhower,” Berkes said.
In his campaign speech Bullitt said that the United States “is allowing Great Britain to supply Chinese Communists with the arms and supplies that carry death to our men.”
Hadow submitted a letter to the editor on Nov. 4 challenging Bullitt’s accuracy, and it is his desire to elaborate his views in a personal appearance.

Hill and Sanders To Speak at Fete
Rival coaches Jess Hill of SC and Red Sanders of UCLA will speak at the 29th annual men’s football dinner, Friday night, 6:30 p.m., in the Physical Education building.
Members of the 1927 Trojan football team and fathers of present team members will be the honored guests.
by Bob Frenette
Burglary on campus and on the Row has taken an upswing, according to Lieut. E. E. Rombeaux, Commander of the University Detective division of the L.A. Police Department. His records and reports from various fraternity houses testify to a rise in the incidence of theft during the past month, particularly on the Row.
Elmer V. Haskin, Sigma Phi Epsilon, reported the loss of a watch valued at $80 on Nov. 11 at his house.
Clothing valued at $180 was stolen from George B. cjponhaltz in Aeneas hall Oct. 29.
Typewriter Lifted
While the victim was working in the library cubicle, a typewriter worth $90 was stolen from Yen Hui Ho Oct. 28.
James Craig, Sigma Phi Epsilon, reported the theft of three coats valued at $86 from his house on Oct. 27.
Two wallets worth $22 were stolen from Owen D. Dimock of Delta Sigma Phi Oct. 15.
In addition to these major reported thefts, there have been numerous petty burglaries on the Row.
Sigma Nu reports several trophies and paddles missing recently.
Radio Disappears
Kappa Alpha says a radio disappeared from the house.
Kappa Sigma is missing their dinner bell, and both Phi Kappa Tau and Pi Kappa Alpha report their charters stolen.
Psi Upsilon and Delta Chi have both suffered minor burglaries, a coat and a banner respectively.
Detectives Zeiner and Jones of the University Division made two arrests last week of alleged campus burglars. Zeiner predicts an improvement in the situation.
Child Thieves
Another clue as to the cause of the recent upsurge came from Marilyn Beaudry, president of Alpha Omicron Pi sorority. She said yesterday that three weeks ago three young children were seen burglarising a room in her house. One of the trio was caught, but he provided no information as to the identity of the others.

IFC Council Prepares To Open Help Week'
An interfraternity “Help week,” a project long under consideration by the IFC, will take place next week, Monday through Wednesday.
The Nov. 24-27 activity has been planned in an effort to create a better spirit of cooperation among fraternity members through group participation, as well as better relationships between the fraternity system and the university.
“It is not compulsory for fraternities to participate,” said George Gonzales, AMS president,
“but interested houses may submit their list of pledges who will be available to Ken Shanks, Interfraternity coordinator, in 230 SU.”
Individual house participation is recommended by the IFC council, and action will be on an individual house basis, Gonzales said.
According to Gonzales, “Help week” may become a possible substitute for the “outdated” hazing activities that take place on other campuses. This idea has become the rule of many universities in recent years.
Projects to be undertaken include the general cleaning of the campus and will be under the supervision of Anthony D. Lazzaro, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Lazzaro wiU provide the various cleaning materials for “Help week.” Specific projects will include* the cleaning of Doheny fountain and the polishing of the statue in the pond.
“It is expected that a large number of houses will take part,”
Gonzales said, “and if the event is successful, it will probably become a semi-annual affair with every house on campus.”
George Gottesman, IFC president commented that he hopes through group participation the purpose of ‘Help week’ will re-
fleet itself in a worth while af- CrtORGE GONZALES fair.” . . . 'help week'

Not living on the row, he said, “What’s the matter with drinking on the row?’- Then he quickly added, “As long as I’m not on it.” In the library your reporter found Rocki Rhoads dressed in a strapless black taffeta seated at ing through volume after volume of medical journals. $ “I am the University president of FDKCEL,” she acknowledged, “and what I am digging up to tell the fraternities will shock them out of their effervescence.” Southern Branch When asked what FDKCEL meant she answered, “The Found-ation for the Dissemination of Knowledge Concerning the Evils of Liquor—southern branch.” Merrill Schaffert, junior journalism major, sumed it up this way. “The investigations have created a problem which otherwise would never exist. If anything, they would tend to stimulate drinking.” “It’s a natural tendency for people to do something when told not to,” he said. Overpublicizing « John Callos, freshman in commerce, agreed. “Drinking is all right,” he said. “Overpublicizing the affair has done, more harm than good.” Greg Krasel, sophomore Sigma Phi Epsilon, was asked what he thought about the row drinking problem. “It’s an ugly rumor,” he said. Pete Champlin, freshman student from the same fraternity, lifted his eyebrows and asked, “There’s a problem?” Briton to Talk On Far East Robert H. Hadow, counsul-gen-eral from Great Britain, will dis cuss “Britain’s Role in the Far East” Wednesday at 3:15 p.m. in 129 Founders hall. The speech is designed partly to refute the contentions presented by ex-Ambas-sador William Bullitt when he spoke here Oct. 28. Dr. Ross N. Berkes, chairman of the department of international relations, arranged for the Briton's speech. “The counsul-general is concerned that the student body be given an account of the British position in the Far East, particularly in the light of the considerable exception which he took to some points raised by ex-Ambas-sador Bullitt in his appearance here on behalf of Eisenhower,” Berkes said. In his campaign speech Bullitt said that the United States “is allowing Great Britain to supply Chinese Communists with the arms and supplies that carry death to our men.” Hadow submitted a letter to the editor on Nov. 4 challenging Bullitt’s accuracy, and it is his desire to elaborate his views in a personal appearance. -beat the briixs:- Hill and Sanders To Speak at Fete Rival coaches Jess Hill of SC and Red Sanders of UCLA will speak at the 29th annual men’s football dinner, Friday night, 6:30 p.m., in the Physical Education building.

E. Rombeaux, Commander of the University Detective division of the L.A. Police Department. His records and reports from various fraternity houses testify to a rise in the incidence of theft during the past month, particularly on the Row. Elmer V. Haskin, Sigma Phi Epsilon, reported the loss of a watch valued at $80 on Nov. 11 at his house. Clothing valued at $180 was stolen from George B. cjponhaltz in Aeneas hall Oct. 29. Typewriter Lifted While the victim was working in the library cubicle, a typewriter worth $90 was stolen from Yen Hui Ho Oct. 28. James Craig, Sigma Phi Epsilon, reported the theft of three coats valued at $86 from his house on Oct. 27. Two wallets worth $22 were stolen from Owen D. Dimock of Delta Sigma Phi Oct. 15. In addition to these major reported thefts, there have been numerous petty burglaries on the Row. Sigma Nu reports several trophies and paddles missing recently. Radio Disappears Kappa Alpha says a radio disappeared from the house. Kappa Sigma is missing their dinner bell, and both Phi Kappa Tau and Pi Kappa Alpha report their charters stolen. Psi Upsilon and Delta Chi have both suffered minor burglaries, a coat and a banner respectively. Detectives Zeiner and Jones of the University Division made two arrests last week of alleged campus burglars. Zeiner predicts an improvement in the situation. Child Thieves Another clue as to the cause of the recent upsurge came from Marilyn Beaudry, president of Alpha Omicron Pi sorority. She said yesterday that three weeks ago three young children were seen burglarising a room in her house. One of the trio was caught, but he provided no information as to the identity of the others.

IFC Council Prepares To Open Help Week' An interfraternity “Help week,” a project long under consideration by the IFC, will take place next week, Monday through Wednesday. The Nov. 24-27 activity has been planned in an effort to create a better spirit of cooperation among fraternity members through group participation, as well as better relationships between the fraternity system and the university. “It is not compulsory for fraternities to participate,” said George Gonzales, AMS president, “but interested houses may submit their list of pledges who will be available to Ken Shanks, Interfraternity coordinator, in 230 SU.” Individual house participation is recommended by the IFC council, and action will be on an individual house basis, Gonzales said. According to Gonzales, “Help week” may become a possible substitute for the “outdated” hazing activities that take place on other campuses. This idea has become the rule of many universities in recent years. Projects to be undertaken include the general cleaning of the campus and will be under the supervision of Anthony D. Lazzaro, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Lazzaro wiU provide the various cleaning materials for “Help week.” Specific projects will include* the cleaning of Doheny fountain and the polishing of the statue in the pond. “It is expected that a large number of houses will take part,” Gonzales said, “and if the event is successful, it will probably become a semi-annual affair with every house on campus.” George Gottesman, IFC president commented that he hopes through group participation the purpose of ‘Help week’ will re- fleet itself in a worth while af- CrtORGE GONZALES fair.” . . .
