arley Refuses to Manage ampaign for Sen. Russell
WASHINGTON, Mar. 16— (UP) ames A Farley, who master-inded the late President Roose-It's first two presidential caan-has been approached to -me campaign manager for Sen. j :hard B. Russell.
Informed sources said “certain nators" who are friends of the rgia Democrat “approached” ley on the subject.
They said Farley is coming to ~&shington this week to talk it with those senators.
In New York, however, Farley
said that he has not been approached by Russell's supporters.
“I am through managing campaigns. I feel that I have served my time managing,” he said. “But this is no reflection on Russell or any other presidential candidate.” The sources said Russell himself has had no direct contact with Farley, former postmaster general and one-time Democratic National chairman who helped elect Mr. Roosevelt in 1932 and 1956 only to break with him over the third term issue.
But they indicated Russell would
welcome Farley as his campaign manager. It was understood Russell does not want a manager from the south because he is anxious to make a ‘national” campaign that will not be tagged as an exclusively southern Democrat move to rapture the White House.
Russell .asked on a television program today about reports that Farley will become his campaign managed, said he had not heard that this is the case. But he praised Farley and said he would weloome his support.

Social Heads To Pick Up Sponsor Cards
Social chairmen were reminded to pick up new sponsor cards by Ann Dillon, ASSC vice-president. The cards are now available in 326 Student Union.

Sponsors may be faculty members, administrative officers, alumni or alumnae who are at least 28 years old, or parents of a member cf the group. A married couple counts as one chaperone.
The penalty for violations for having either no chaperones or inadequate chaperones at parties will be suspension of all parties for one month, and the inclusion of two faculty members and one alumnus at all remaining parties for the semester. Miss Diilon said.

services at a far more nominal fee than private institutions of the same natuie. Complete guidance including about ten hours of testing and subsequent counseling are offered for a $25 fee.
Industries tTe;ted Dr. Jacobs has also conducted aptitude tests for industrial firms with the aim of finding the right positions for employees and in-! crealng efficiency.
Tests ranging from literary ap-: preciativeness to "putting the right blocks in the right holes” are designed to find the capabilities and limitations with regard to virtually every conceivable vocation.
Aspirants to the dental profession for example are given among : other things a series of manual dexterity tests to determine co- j ordination and muscle control necessary for their future work.
Nervousness Measured They are timed in placing needles in tiny holes with tweezers. These tests besides evaluating manual ability can determine to a large extent the person's nervous control and reaction.
To answer the questions not brought to light by interviewing the person is given special tests to measure his interests and aptitudes of which he may or may not be aware.
“After having the test results explained to him. he begins*to know himself better,” said Dr. Jacobs; “he understands ,how the results relate to his personality, physical capabilities, and occupational potentialities.”
Find Future The person is then assisted by his counselor in selecting the right major or occupational objective on the basis of job openings, advancement opportunities, and salaries.
Settled upon a definite objective, the person is aided by the counselor in choosing the type of training progrdm that will best fit his individual needs.
With the vocational counseling completed, the “graduate" of Dr. acohs' guidance center begins his caret, with a new objective and outlook, and the odds are more in his favor for a satisfying, productive vocational experience.”
Cunga Din' To be Shown
“Gwiga Din,” the screen version adapted from Rdyard Kipling's famous poem, will be presented as tonight's film classic in Hancock auditorium at 8.
The story is based on the adventures of three British soldiers in India during the late 1890s. This trio is portrayed by Cary Grant, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and Victor McLagien, wrho present as cohesive a trio as Dumas’ “Three Muska-teers.”
Sam Jaffe plays the title role of Gunga Din, a native waterboy who is the typical true-to-the-end type.
Joan Fontaine is the romantic interest. At the time of the picture she was better known as the sister of Olivia ’DeHavilland than as an actress in her own right.
The film presents two former academy award winners in Miss Fontaine who received an “Oscar” for her work in “Suspicion” and i McLagien, who won the award for his role in the “Informer.”

Vinson Asks Move To Reopen UMT
WASHINGTON, Mar. 16— (UP) —Chairman Carl Vinson of the House Armed Services committee has appealed to the Senate to clear the way for another House test on UMT by streamlining the military reserves, it was disclosed today.
In a letter to members of the Senate Armed Services committee,

AAA Polls Behind Iron Curtain
Prefer Ike Eight to One
Results of a “forgotten man” poll for president were announced today by Wampus editor Allen A. Arthur.
The dignified editor of SC's humor magazine went behind the “iron curtain” of a city jail to determine the prisoners’ preference in the coming election. Arthur stated that the men with whom he talked were probably-the only people in the nation who hadn't been polled so far.
An 8 to 1 preference for General Eisenhower over President Truman was reported. Senator Taft was a favorite second-choice while strangely enough Senator Kefauver failed to receive a single vote.
The fact that some of the men he questioned might not be out in
time to vote next November failed to bother Arthur.
“A few of my respondents may be free by then while some who are questioned by other poll-tak-ers may be in jail at that time, he said. “It should all balance out.”
Arthur expects the first issue of the new Wampus to be out Wednesday. The poll will not be in the issue* however.
Commerce Club To Interview For Membership
Delta Sigma Pi. national commerce fraternity, begins a two-week rushing period today.
Interviews for membership will be held in 210 Bridge hall from noon to 2 p.m. Those interested who are unable to make it at this time may make other arrangements by calling REpublic 3-2742.
’ Other events on the schedule include a free coffee hour Wednesday 2 15 to 4 pm. on the top floor of the Commons, and an informal rushing party for all commerce students Friday from 2 to 4 in 418 Student Union.

Campus Cook Is TV Artist
Al Meyer made the jump from cook to crooner last Thursday when he appeared on the KLAC-TV show, “You’re Never Too Old.”
Al, who is one of the Commons star cooks during the week, was introduced as the “One-man Band” and performed as such, playing the harmpnica and guitar, and singing to the tune of “Mountain Music,” all simultaneously, which makes it perhaps the neatest trick of the w’eek.
Al was the youngest performer on the program, being only one year over the minimum age of sixty.
He has had a long and varied musical career, playing in several string bands and at one time was the director of the “Southwestern Serenaders” of Phoenix.
As gifts for his performance, Al received a six-month supply of frozen wraffles and an electric popup toaster. In addition, he may receive a gold medal if his performance is adjudged the best of the evening. Winners will be announced next week.
In the meantime Al, w’he cooks for the athletic training tables, is wondering what to do with frozen baffles and a pop-up toaster.

Engineers Plan Capers
Sporting manly beards and a festive spirit, SC’s engineers will let their hair down on campus this week as they celebrate the fifth annual engineering week.
And those without beards, either by will or nature, will be bearded by the jailers of the Kangaroo court and paraded around the campus in the portable I--~
jail that all may view their disgrace.
Reverting back to the old mining camp of the frontier days, the Kangaroo court will take no excuse for a clean-shaven jaw, unless of course it belongs to a female engineer.
Those with less hardy • chin growth, however, may purchase smooth-shaven permits which may —or may not—save them from the ignominous fate of appearing before the heartless court.
Scholarship Fund
Proceeds from the purchase of the permits and other events of the week are put into the Dean Biegler scholarship fund tehich sends a needy high school student through

It is fitting that today should open engineering week for it’s also the day of St. Patrick, the patron of engineers the world ’round. Maybe that's the reason these engineers always seem to accumulate so much of the “green stuff.”
Faculty Disguised
Be careful about slapping fellow students on the back too hard tomorrow, engineers, for ’tis the day when faculty dons the apparel of student. Can't you just visualize that austere professor walking into class complete in levis, tee shirt, and saddles.
Queen of Engineering week is cloaked in mystery this year as in the past and the identity of her majesty, an off-campus celebrity, won’t be divulged till the Engineering rally, Friday at noon in Bovard auditorium. John Grant, of Disc jockey fame, will emcee this affair and head a sparkling variety show.
The engineer with the most prolific soup-strainer will then be selected by the “belle of the mining camp.” He’ll get the dubiously honorable award of the Beaver Trophy and a free ticket to the nearest razor.
Picnic Follows Rally
Following the Bovard festivities the gay throng will repair to the seclusion of Exposition park for a boisterous picnic highlighted by faculty vs. student games.
Activities of the week will be climaxed at the gala engineering ball Saturday at the Lakewood country club in Long Beach. Bids are selling now for $2.50. The SC Engineer will be on sale during the entire week.
Sign-Ups for Blood Drive Start Today
Students who wish to donate blood to the coming Red Cross drive on campus, Apr. 1 through 3, may sign up today through Mar. 25 in front of the Student Union.
Appointments may be made daily between 10 a.m. and 3 pjn. for donations to the drive, the goal of which is 900 pints.
Trophies will be awarded by the Red Cross to the top contributing men's and women's living groups and campus organization.
Secretary Visits
Fraternities, sororities, and other residence groups will be visited to-Viight by Sharon Swan ton, campus recording secretary for the Red Cross, and Anne Clements, treasurer, who will explain the importance of blood donations.
Presented plaques recently for leading contributions in the drive last fall were Sigma Phi Delta fraternity, whose 32 members gave 31 pints for the top percentage on campus of 96.88; Gamma Phi Beta sororfty, whose 13 pints topped the women’s living groups; and the NROTC, which gave 215 pints.
Other Members
Besides Misses Swanton and Clements, other members of the SC Red Cross staff for the semester are Courtna McMann, chairman; Daryl Emerick, vice-chairman and chairman of the blood drive; and Ann Opatz, corresponding secretary.
A contributing student is entitled to draw from the SC blood bank account for himself and his immediate family the amount which he gives without being required to replace the blood after his particular emergency is ever. The student is also entitled to the use of blood he has donated in previous drives without replacement and may draw on the SC account even •after he leaves school.
May Draw More Students giving blood in the name of a residence or campus group may draw up to the full amount donated by that group.
Members acf the families of SC students may also contribute toward the account.
Miss Emerick said, “Because of the Korean conflict the need for whole Wood is very critical now. Since whole blood lasts only 21 days, it must be collected and shipped as rapidly as possible.'’
After 21 days the blood is made into plasma. Miss Emerick explained.
Begorrah!
