Call to Arms'
Is Battle Cry In Blood Drive
The call for arm»; to give blood goes out aga n today after a disappointing number of students ncned up Monday.
Steve Feldman, chairman of SCs blood drive, said that only 50 students made appointments 1o give blood yesterday. This is half of the signups which offered to give blood during last year’s first day.
The quota for the blood drive this year is 660 pints and students can sign up to give blood today from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at tables in front of lh'> Student Union and Founders Hall, Feldman said.
.Awards to Be Given
Trophies ere given at the end of the drive to the fraternity, men’s dormitory, and service organization that give the most pints. A new award presented b> 1he sophomore class, will also be presented to the class with the highest donor percentage, he added.
One of the immediate advantages that the drive has is the assurance of a practically unlimited blood supply to any SC student that needs the life-pregiving plasma.
Every pint donated on campus goes into an SC blood bank account and may be drawn upon by any Trojan who has given blood.
Aid* Medical Research
The blood bank also aids research at the SC School of Medicine.
Dr. Jerome Kay, chief of heart surgery, said that SC’s staff doctors are doing more research in open-heart surgery than any other group in the west.	^
"Open-heart surgery closes holes, and completely corrects heart lesions that would prove fatal without the operation.” he said. One of these operations require 15 donations of blood.
Students between the ages of 21 and 60 who weigh at least 110 pounds are requested to sign up to give blood.
Students helween the ag^s of 18 and 21 must submit “Minor Release Forms” that are signed by their parents before they can give blood.

Lavenberg was in Costa Rica a few months ago on another biology department research study, and will be going from hot jungle country to frozen wastes with only a little more than a stopover on campus durirg the past semester.
He will join ajjout 30 other men on the ice island, service men and civilians, under the Alaskan Air Command headquartered at Ladd Air Force Base, Fairbanks, Alaska.
Cinema Wins Warner Bros. Study Grant
Jack L. Warner, president of Warner Brothers Pictures, Inc., has established a Samuel L. Warner Memorial Opportunity Award at SC, the cinema department announced today.
With this award, one graduating or graduate senior will be selected each June by the SC cinema department faculty to work at W a r ne r Bros, for at least six months.
During this time the student will work as a director trainee, a junior writer, production assistant or apprentice film editor.
The award will be offered for the next ten years.
University Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid hailed the award as “a major compliment and encouragement to our cinema program.”
The chancellor pointed out that SC’s 31-year-old cinema department, the first to be established, “has produced many brilliant talents who often have met with delay in the Hollywood film industry in their attempts to find employment.”
As a result, a large number have moved into the field of industrial motion pictures, Dr. von KleinSmid said.
1QBS OPEN
New Senate Will Serve Every Field
Applications are now being taken in 215 SU for senatorial positions representing every major field of study offered at the university.
Each field will have a board with from 3 to 10 members, as authorized by the Senate's new constitution.
Although there are currently 19 major fields, there may soon be 20. The International Relations School, a member of the social studies field, is rumored planning to apply to the executive cabinet for separate autonomy in the Senate.
Student Body
There will be one senator for every 200 students in a particular field. These senators will be elected by the student body during the ninth week of the semester.
On the 13th week, the new Senate, composed of delegates from the major fields, will take over for the current provisional Senate.
Senatorial representation will be based on the previous fall enrollment figure» for the various fields.
School of Commerce
For instance, the School of Commerce, with 1,346 students enrolled during the fall, will

COP Stresses Individual, Poli. Sei. Professor Claims
Editor’* note: This Is the In a series of interviews with SC students and faculty on their political affiliations. We will discuss politics as seen by Democratic. Republican and Independent votors.
By NITA BISS Assistant to the Editor
Political emphasis upon self-reliance as the foundation of individual dignity is the most attractive feature of the Republican Party, a sponsor of the Trojan Young Republicans declared today.
When questioned by the Daily Trojan as to why he is a Republican, Dr. Bernard L. Hyink, professor of political science, expressed bis belief that the GOP consistently stresses strong 5 -dividual rights and responsibilities.
Individual Liberty
“Republican platforms have emphasized individual liberty and responsibility for 100 years a« the keystone of party principles.” Dr. Hyink said.
He explained that he felt that the GOP is ihe only party whicn is united <>n the question oficivd
rights “whether announced by , Abraham Lincoln in 1860 or by Dwight D. Eisenhower and Earl Warren in 1960.
“This position is in contrast to the other major party in the i U. S. with its great schism on j the subject of civil rights,” h? said.
Stresses Hope
Dr. Hyink pointed out tbit the Republican Party also stresses the hope of a smaller and less •‘pervasive’’ government.
"The Republican Party through the years has been preoccupied with the maximizing of persona! liberty and the creating of an environment in which the indiv idual will have full opportunity to create and work with only the necessary and minimum amount of man-made restraints,” he maintained.
Although' he admitted that some social control and regulation is necessary in a highly technoligical soceity, Dr. Hyink held that government should not assume the major role in economic affairs.
“Government should assure the individual the maximum of
human freedom to follow a path he chooses for himself which will develop his own talents and resources as long as the individual does not block anyone else from doing the same thing,” he explained.
Dr. Hyink added that modern republicanism stands for a strong system of federal government ; with active local units.
“The American form of democracy demands strong local ; governments to aid in the solution of certain social problems, for it is through active city, i that we can preserve real democracy.” he said.
Feel Responsibility
He pointed out that individuals are more apt to feel that respon- j sibility for something that stems from the city hall rather than from the more-remote national capitol.
“In the last 25 years particularly, the Republican Party has resisted the trend to extreme centralization of governmental functions and has urged that local communities solve their own problems rather than asking th® (Continued on page 2)
ators, a total of seven.
Under the field of commerce will be business administration, marketing, accounting, finance, industrial management, office administration, personnel and industrial relations and real estate and insurance management.
With 968 students, the social studies department will rank second in power w'ith five senators.
This number, however, includes a large percentage of international relations majors who may divorce themselves from social studies.
Social Studies
Included under social studies j “Giraudoux, the best of modern is anthropology, economics, edu- i French dramatists, accomplishes cation, geography, history, po- the trick by peppering intellectuality with an alert wit and by further seasoning it with a be-guilinglv impertinent style and a suggestion of congenial intellectual fellowship,” White says.
Where other intelligent playwrights have the air of vain-gloriously imposing their all too obviously self-admired minds upon us lowly buyers of tickets, Giraudoux seems to take us by comradely hand and wander amiably with us along the cerebral road, he says.

Engineering students, including aeronautical, chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, mechanical and petroleum, will be represented by four senators.
The only other field which will not be limited to one or two senators is education, with three representatives.

ish and Italian and Slavic stud ies.
Those fields which will have one senator are social work, public administration, music, medicine, library science, biologi-c a 1 sciences, communications, physical sciences and math and the collective field of Health, PE and therapy.
Biology
The field of biological sciences includes bacteriology, biochemistry and nutrition, biology (bot-any-zoology) and clinical technology.
Communications includes cinema, drama, journalism, speech
and telecommunications.
Nursing education, occupational therapy, physical education and physical therapy are represented in the field of health, PE and therapy.
Today s Weather
Gusty winds will continue to sweep the SC campus today despite sunny skies, reports the weatherman.
Yesterday’s high rose to 62 degrees at Civic Center from a low of 48.
The weatherman said strong winds will continue to sweep canyon areas today, diminishing Wednesday.
Winds will be strongest in mountain, foothill and coastal areas.
His technique, in short, is just the opposite of th° Italian poet-dramatist Ugo Betti’s, as revealed in “The Gambler,” which in turn keeps the smiles at a distance and dumps the intellectual phase upon us and strews it heavily and unrelievedly all over the stage, the drama lecturer says.
Bright Mind “Sitting before the bright, easy mind of a Giraudoux. one becomes all the more acutely conscious of the pitiable aspects of the minds of those of our present playwrights who seem to wish to be regarded at philosophers of some profundity,” he declared.
Much of this talk of intellect in connection with playwrights is in a sense ‘‘gratuitous,” since, j as everyone should know, depth | of mind is much less important ( in a dramatist than intelligent emotion. White points out.
Welcome Mind “However, mind, when and if j we are lucky enough to get it, I is more tha welcome at least to theatregoers who like to use | their heads once in a while for something other than barber conversation pieces.
“Giraudoux has both mind and the intelligent emotion. And his emotion generally consists in the filtering of passions through a self-critical sieve.” he says.
Too much of contemporary drama of emotion contrarily
of any rough greasepaint-soaked gauze or is some j cases it is lost through what the playwright and a lot of the audience esteems as cleverness, which is often simply a playwright’s means of escape from the shallowness of his own emotions.
SC's presentation of “Giraud-ouxian emotions” — “A m-phitryon ’38	— is taken
from an old Greek legend. Its
story deals with Jupiter’s love for a mortal women and all the problems that beset his “romance.”
Band Plans New System
A new system of awards, combined with direct support from the School of Music, will have a strengthening effect on the SC Marching Band. Gary T. Garner, director, said at the Band’s awards banquet held last Saturday.
Garner said that the School of Music will finally give direct aid ! in fielding a 130 piece band for next fall.
Band members were presented with the awards they are to receive under a revamped system. !
First year members are to receive pins and certificates.
Second year men will receiv e j sweaters similar to Tetterman
SC Cinema Movie Will Open Forum
A student-sponsored campaign to abolish capital punishment in California will swing into full gear today with a special noon show ing of “The Doomed” in 133 FH.
The film, produced by the SC Cinema department, follows a condemned man as he goes to the gas chamber and is executed.
After the 15-minute film, acted by university drama students, an open forum discussion on capital punishment will take place, said David Allswang and Richard Perle, initiators of the movement.
First Event
Today’s noon program marks the first event in a week long campaign to bring the issue of capital punishment to the attention of the university community. said Allswang.
“ ‘The Doomed’ vividly portrays the entire procedure of execution in a California gas chamber,” he added.
“It illustrates the degradation to which a man is submitted, as with methodical exactness he is put through the paces of death,” he continued.

Two "chinless” girls were , operated upon successfully at the L.A. Orthopaedic Hospital, | where the SC School of Dentistry conducts its oral surgery : clinic.
Their personalities and ap- j pearance showed marked improvement when their recessed lower jaws were moved forward so their teeth met properly, Dr. j Robinson said.
Extend Jaw
The operation consisted of a : cut in the lower jaw bone to permit extension of the jaw.
The jaw healed without a bone graft in about three months • while the jaws were held in i place with wire.
Dr. Robinson told about the ; operation and showed a motion j picture on i.t at the biennial j meeting of the Pacific Coast So- j ciety of Orthodontists in Palo! Alto.

campaign into full swing.
40 Students
More than 40 students attended yesterday's meeting to formulate plans for action.
The campaign will move into operation on five fronts, involving petitioning, 1 e t t e r-writing and public programming.
The student campaign itself is designed to put pressure on the state legislature to pass a bill outlawing the death sentence in California while stimulating student interest in the topic, said Aliswrang.
Governor Brown last week told the state legislature that it would have to decide whether capital punishment will remain a part of the penal code.
Quick Action
The legislature convenes Feb. 29 to take up the issue. T^is will call tor immediate action on the part of SC students, said Perle.
Previous efforts to cancel out the death sentence in the state have failed seven times, he said.
“The issue is particularly crucial at this stage because political analysts are convinced that if it doesn’t make it this time it will be another ten years before the attempt is again politically practical.”
The issue came to the foreground when Brown gave con-vict-author Caryl Chessman a 60-day reprieve from the gas chamber last Friday.

Eisenhower S rip May Seek Backing, Won t Alter Policy
President Eisenhower's four-nation South American jaunt will probably not lead directly to changes in United States foreign policy, a Latin American history professor said yesterday.
“Junkets like this are designed to establish an atmosphere for further discussion at a later time,” said Dr. Donald W. Rowland.
He said the President's trip is ; primarily a diplomatic goodwill mission, aimed at widening con- ! tact with countries south of the border.
ever, is to establish a friendly climate within which subsequent agreements can be formulated and within which mutual policies can be coordinated, he said.
“President Eisenhower's trip may have been politically timed to give South American nations a chance to speak personally with the President before he goes to the Summit in April.
“The President’s trip may possibly be part of an attempt to reinforce hemispheric solidarity
“Any change in our policies ! behind the U.S. in its discussions
towrard Latin America will probably be changes in the application of our present policies,” he continued.
“Officially the United States has never varied from the Good Neighbor policy of the 1930’s.” What such a trip can do, hovv-
vvith Russia at that time,” he said.
Another topic Eisenhower may take up with leaders in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Chile is that of Cuba, said Dr. Rowland.
“It is possible that Premier Fidel Castro of Cuba may en-
courage reactions in other South American countries,” he pointed out.
The President may want to know what the policies of the Latin American nations would be if such an action were instituted by the Caribbean republic, said Dr. Rowland.
The President left for South America yesterday following a 15-minute speech to the nation Sunday in which he emphasized the United States’ desire to be a good friend to the other nations of the Western Hemisphere.
The fact that Eisenhower wifi be visiting only four of the 19 Latin American countries may produce resentment in some South American countries, said Dr. Rowland.
