During the game, yells will be given in honor of Troy Camp in an effort to promote more funds for the Troy Camp drive, chairman Stuart said.
Raise Funds “Campus service groups will pass cartons through the rooting section at the half-time to give all university students the chance to contribute to the! fund." he added.
"If every student in the rooting section would donate just j 25c it would be possible for 35 ! more kids to go to camp,” he said.
Stuart explained that most of the Troy Camp children come from underprivileged homes and hrve never been to camp.
Joyce Theurkauf. ex - officio member of the board and head women’s counselor last year, said about Troy Campers attending ihe ('amp, "You can't believe what ihose kids have been through.”
She explained that the cam-1 paign which started last Monday | asking all campus organizations to donate at least enough to send one child to camp "is a very worthy one.”
Many groups are finding lhat b> giving their profits from "Troyland" to Troy Camp, they j aren't depleting other house; funds or finding it necessary to | assess members of their groups. Stuart said.
Painless Support "Donations of Troyland profits are a painless way to support . this worthwhile campus activ- j itv.” he added.
"Though some organizations I have pledged their donations; already, many more are still, needed.” he explained.
Wallv Karabian. ASSC Presi- j dent, said that "Troy Camp is j one aspect of SC that every Troian can be proud of.''
He urged all students to con- I tr bute and said that the guid- | ance and individual attention that the children receive are even more important than the recreation activities they partici-prte in.’’
Karabian added. "The support of this drive is one of the ways j ihat we can 11 contribute to the growth of Troy, and to the growth of a child '*

Cute, Delightful Miss Charms in Carousel'
By BOB COURTEMANCHE
One of most everyone's favorite people in the ‘‘Carousel" cast , is Madra Sanders, a little blonde. I blue-eyed girl who hardly looks old enough to be a college student.
But then she just barely is that, having entered SC this fall I as a drama or English major.
She's the girl who does some j delightful dancing in the musical as Loi ise, Billy Bigelow’s daugh-, ter. You’ll have to hurry to see ! her. though, as the final two performances of "Carousel” take olace tonight and tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. in Bovard Auditorium, and tickets are getting scarce.
Rare Freshman
Miss Sanders is a rather rare creature—a freshman who is not intent on changing the world, hut on enjoying it. This attitude doesn't usually come until at 1 least the sophomore year, but she seems to have taken it along with her when she left her home town of Sterling. Colorado, for ; school.

awaited grant, SC must match the federal funds with another million dollars before the five-story building can be constructed.
The proposed building will lie located in the science quadran- , gle behind the Science Hall, between Hoover st. and University ave. and 36th pi. and 37th st.
For Reseach
This modern building will house basic research facilities for the departments of bacteri- | ology. biochemistry, biology, j chemistry, pharmacy and psychology.
It will consolidate all research laboratories presently operated j by the biological sciences departments and will provide additional space for research.
"This will enable these six de- I parlments to increase both their I staffs and their lesearch po- , tential.” Dr. Topping explained, j
Much of the research by these | departments is now being con- j ducted in temporary barracks ! and buildings scattered throughout the campus.
Activities Told
"In their research activities in > this proposed building, these de- : partments will have as their primary objective ihe discovery of i basic principles related to their respective fields.” Dr. Topping j said.	j
"This will involve many prob- | lems of disease and health, the j discovery of new drugs, the biological effects of radiation and 1 the production of new sources of food from the sea,” he added.
Preliminary plans for the biosciences building call for 53,500 sq.. ft. of laboratory facilities devoted completely to basic research. The building will house more than 250 research workers.
Central Location
It will be located in the immediate vicinity of the nuclear physics, organic chemistry and centrifuge buildings.

The dance shows Louise Bigelow alone on a Maine beach, "feeling very free and happy in a lonely way, because I'm doing what I want to do,” Miss Sanders said.
Tickets for the closing performance of “Carousel” may still be ourchased at the Bovard box office.

Stress is no greater a problem in the atomic age than it was in prehistoric times when primitive man worried about everything from the big bad wolf to fears of freezing. 200 doctors attending an SC medical school course were told yesterday.
Piehistoric man was always exposed to stress, said guest lec-lurei Dr. Hans Selye. director of the Institute for Experimental Medicine and Surgery, in the posteraduate course at the Stat-ier-Hilton.
"In ancient rimes humans worried about wild animals, terrible disease and whether he would
freeze or starve to death." the
Canadian surgeon reported.
Medieal Advances
"We worry about the stock market or the atomic bomb, but our stress is actually less intense because the medical reasons for great stress have been eliminated.” he said. “The major causes of death 100 years ago-epidemics and vitamin and nutrition deficiencies — have been eliminated by medical progress,” Dr. Selye. who originated the stress theory of disease in 1936. defines stress medically as the rate of wear and tear on the body.
"For years stress has been used as a synonym for fatigue, overwork and emotional upsets.” be said. “Our new definition includes disease.”
"We believe that the more stress you have the more disease you have, and the more disease the more stress—it is a vicious circle.”
Pathologically Induced ‘‘Stress can be caused by a burn, an infection, radiation and intense heat or cold.” he added. “Even great joy or sheer boredom can cause stress.”
‘‘The human machine is like any other—a car. for example. If an automobile is running at full speed with its lights and radio on. it is under great stress. Considerable wear and tear are going on. It is the same in the body.” he said.
"Life without stress is impossible. Complete absence of stress is death.” Dr. Selve added.
The relation of stress to heart attacks is one of Dr. Seyle’s present basic research studies.
Salt for Rats Experimenting with 32.000 rats in a year, he has found that two chemical salts in food can prevent certain types ef heart attacks in laboiatorv animals. These salts are magnesium and potassium chloride.

"We’ve got three great big dogs back home — a n d two cats,” she said. “I love animals —we pick up strays.”
"Do you know that I haven’t even been to the ocean here vet,” Miss Sanders said. "I love the ocean — used to sit by it by the hour in Hawaii.”

Dr. Alexander Kosloff, master of five languages and 88 piano keys will present his annual piano recital tomorrow night at 8:30 in Hancock Auditorium.
The linguist - pianist, associate professor and head of the SC Slavic studies department, will play works by Bach, Beethoven and Chopn at the facuitv recital which will lie open to the public free of charge.
Dr. Kosloff claims he does not prefer either his academic or musical career to the other but ‘‘one relaxes me while I’m away from the other.”
This versatile artist is also a specialist in Mexican literature and has written numerous articles on the subject for Mexican literary magazines.
Last summer he was re-engaged for concert appearances in the southern republic and was widely acclaimed by Mexican newspaper critics.
"He is a concert artist endowed with an excellent memory, fine taste and the full awareness of an artist and master,” one Mexico City reviewer wrote.
Famous for his moving interpretation of Chopin, Dr. K points out that the composer is so subtle that he must be played

Dr. Kosloff's linguistic abilities were recently put to practical I use when he served as inter-| prefer for Soviet composer Dmi-! tri Shostakovich during his visit ! to the SC School of Music last week.
He feels that American audi-ences are harder to plea^ than those of other countries becau. r Americans receive "the best musical talent in the world.
‘‘Americans can afford the best talent available and consequently have become more sophisticated in their anpreciation of music,” he maintains.
The artist, who enjoys listening to jazz, holds that classical and jazz music are merely different forms of musical art and can exist together.
"Classical music badly played is just as bad as jazz badly played.” he explains.
In his recital tomorrow. Dr Kosloff will present Rachmaninoff's Elegie and Prelude G-32. No. 12. He will also play Chopin's Sonata, B-Minor, < >p. 58; Beethoven’s Sonata. E-Major, Op. H>9, No. 30:	and Bach's Prelude and
