Star Signs leaye Coed Without Car
By BARBARA EPSTEIN
An SC coed must have misin-! terpreted the signs of the Zodiac | last week.
Thursday’s astrological star^ ! said that it was a day favoring j the go-getters.
Judy Jones must not have realized this.
Feeiing especially kindhearted when she parked her car in the student parking lot at 847 W. Exposition blvd., she left the keys in the ignition.
The parking lot was crowded and Miss Jones did not want to stop any student from moving his car in or out, so she left the keys in the car instead of putting them into her purse.
She left the car—and the keys —in the lot at 8 p.m., during the the height of evening school rush
ed from SCerve, the SC agency for outside charities.
Requests were also taken from campus residence houses for names from favorite charities.
Some of the names came from past Christmas lists of children who took part in the program.
Troy Campers Too “The children aren’t necessarily just from orphanages,” Miss Hartford explained. “Many are Troy Campers and others come from underprivileged homes.” Dormitories and sorority and fraternitv houses will host bus-
Taped Talk Set Tonight
The SC Canterbury Association will continue its “Meditations for Advent” series tonight with a special tape recording at the Student Center, 854 W. 36th st.
Guests will hear the Rt. Rev. Daniel Corrigan, suffragen bishop of Colorado, via tape from 6:45 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Episcopal Chaplain Ogden Hoffman said that students who heard Bishop Corrigan last week were unanimous in their praise for the depth, humanity and humor of his meditations.
Today at noon the Rev. Michael Hamilton, Episcopal chaplain lab, with a staff of technicians for graduate students and fac-headed by James Sirois, spent ; ulty, will be celebrant and a year assembling the accéléra- j preacher at the service of Holy tor and putting it into operating j Communion to be held in the condition.

hour parking.
She was confident that other students would appreciate her thoughtful gesture.
Stars Favored Another
Somebody certainly did appreciate it.
Perhaps aware of which stars favored which persons, someone, following the astrological advice to “make good use of smart ideas,” moved the car.
But instead of maneuvering the ’59 Chevrolet into another parking stall, the new driver of the auto simply drove off with it out of the lot and into the oncoming Los Angeles traffic.
When Miss Jones returned to the lot to go on an errand Friday morning, her car was not there.
The keys and car had disappeared.
Too Xlce
Perhaps she wouldn't have been “so nice,” as police officer Allen Coffey put it, if she had read her Friday horoscope.
What were the stars predicting for Miss Jones?
“Avoid all risks.”
Today Miss Jones is sorry she didn’t do that.
Her car was the fourth one stolen from SC students this month, police report.
They advise Trojans not to leave car keys in their parked vehicles, even if this will facilitate easier maneuvering from parking stall to parking stall.
DEBATERS SCORE 6 WINS IN AIR FORCE TOURNEY
Two SC debaters scored impressive victories in the first annual invitational Air Force Academy debate tournament held last week, Dr. James H. McBath, debate adviser, said yesterday.
Dave Allswang and Alan Fox, competing with debate teams from 30 other American colleges and universities at the Colorado Springs event, went undefeated in six preliminary rounds of debating before losing to Brigham Young University in the quarterfinals.
The Trojan debaters won decisions over St. Thomas College of Minnesota, University of New' Mexico, University of Minnesota, Southern Illinois University, Southwestern Missouri State and the United States Merchant Marine Academy.
The only loss suffered by the SC squad was in a split two-one decision to BYU, the team which eventually became the tournament champion.
BYU’s Craig Christensen and Tom Reed knocked Allswang and Fox out of the championship running
and then moved up the ladder in semi-final and final contests to become first place winners.
The invitational tournament drew the most outstanding debaters from the tap debate squads to the country, said Dr. McBath. Teams from 19 states, as far east as New York and as far south as Texas, competed in the rigorous speech contest.
Allswang and Fox, debating together for their second semester, have an impressive tournament record of 15 wins and 3 losses for the fall debate season.
Students Favor Idea Of European Campus
Today s Weather
the weatherman predicts a windy day for the SC campus. Possibility of rain is 75% and the high will be 68 degrees.
Wouldn’t it be fun to go live in Europe and still go to SC? The idea certainly seems to appeal to a good number of Trojans.
Because of the mounting interest in a possible SC European campus, the Daily Trojan interviewed 160 students on campus with the results that 68 percent favor the establishment of a foreign campus.
However, amidst the apparent optimism of the excitement of studying abroad, negative as-pects of the plan were also point-
Baxter to Give Yule Reading
The twenty-second annual Christmas Readingst by Dr. Frank C. ^Baxter, Engfish professor and television showman, will be held in Bovard Auditorium tomorrow night at 7:30.

Polls Open For Historic .• Student Vote
By BERNARD PETERS
Polls open today at 9 a.m. for a special election which will decide the future of SC’s form of ' student government.
Students will vote on the new ASSC constitution drawn up bv a special ASSC Presidential Committee a month ago.
Balloting will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and tomorrow in front of Doheny Library, said Margie Ilirsch, commissioner of elections.
“The voting procedure will Tte shortened to enable more students to have the time to vote. All that is needed is an SC ID card,” she said.
Few Thousand Votes Gary Dubin, Senate parliamentarian and one of the originators of the new constitution, predicts a turnout of a “few thousand because the new form of government is rooted in academic structure and should be here as long as the university is in existence.”
For the voters who are still unsure of the acceptability of the new constitution. Dubin announced that 500 conies will be available at the polling area.
Votes are expected to be counted and the results released about 5 p.m. tomorrow, said Dubin.
If the constitution passes by a majority vote, then a provisional government will immediately go into effect.

can Film Festival Awards.
In addition it lists the Screen Producers Guild, Southern California Motion Picture Council, Scholastic Teacher and Golden Reel Festival Awards.
Academy Award
But that is not all, for topping the list is the Shannon (Ireland) Festival Award and the most coveted of American film prizes — the Academy Award.
Ancient Aztec gods, advanced scientific technology, the spine-tingling suspense of Edgar Allen Poe and backstage of “The Bridge on the River Kwai,” are but a few of the topics of SC’s award-winning films.
Several of the films have been produced in a number of foreign languages and are distributed around the globe by the Film Sales Division.
“The tiJes of the movies give
of the subject matter covered in the student and staff productions,” said Glenn McMurry, manager of- Film Sales.
Foremost among the honored films is “The Face of Lincoln.” In the space of three years, this film has wen no less than eight national and international prizes including the 1955 Academy Award.
In this film, Professor Merrell Gage, emeritus head of the department of sculpture, describes the.life and career of Abraham Lincoln as he forms the face of the president in clay, said Mc-Murray.
Three other SC films, “Quetz-alcoatl.” “The Black Cat” and “Bunker Hill” each won two awards.
Masks, statuettes and other artifacts made by the pre-Columbian Indians of Mexico are used to depict the story of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, said McMurray.
Bunker Hill
The original musical score is based on pre-Columbian themes and the film was produced in German and Spanish as well, he noted.
“The Black Cat” Is the re-telling of one of Poe’s most famous shadowy stories of the supernatural.
"Bunker Hill” is an intimate
ment of an old section of downtown Los Angeles, he said. It presents a plea for the preservation of this area when it was scheduled to be destroyed and replaced with modern office buildings.
Other honored films include “The Thinnest Slice,” "Let Me See,” “The Potter,” “Occurrence at Owl Creek,” “Escape to Now'here,” “Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?,” “Protest” and “On Seeing Film; Film and Literature.”
The widespread and varied subjects of these films clearly reflects the academic and entertainment value of these films.
Promises Insight “We are especially conscious of the great promise of the nonfiction film and the role it can play in offering different and deeper insights,” said Dr. Richard Dyer MacCann, assistant professor of cinema.
Leading the field in educational and documentary movie-making, the SC cinema department provides entertaining and educational films for world-wide distribution, but it also affords a working lab for students of communications and cinema.
“Today at SC's cinema department, we are trying to develop a combination of the sci-

creative film artist to build more effective motion picture communiques,” said Bernard R. Kantor, assistant cinema professor.
“In this world's present hurried need to accelerate learning our goal is better training and informational films, better opinion and attitude films, better propaganda films, which truly communicates, films which demonstrate the benefits of democratic living,” he said.
At present, the (5C department of cinema is embarked on a complete curriculum of studies aimed at reaching these goals.
The course is complete with graduate work in actual film production.
TV Movies
In addition, the SC cinema staff is producing four series of educational television movies. They include one in music, “The Written Word,” and two films telling about art and biochemistry.
But, as shown by their successes at the film festival competitions, much of the department’s strength is in its documentary film work.
Current productions In this field include such movies as “The Alphabet,” “Bridges for Ideas,” “Conditioning the Galvanic Skin Response” and “Con-(Continued on Page 2)
