Tomorrow
Art objects now on display in Founders and Harris halls will be sold at auction tomorrow from noon to 4 p.m. in the patio of Harris hall.
Included in the exhibit are oil and water color paintings, ceramics, sculptures, prints, and lithographs. They are the work of five faculty members and 50 students of the fine arts department.
The quality of the work offered this year is of a superior nature, according to Yoshio Nakamura, student chairman of the event. “With paintings and other art Squares may be 6 by 6 or 12 °bjects being offered for approxi-by 12 inches in size, although the matety one-fourth of their gallery larger squares are more economical worth* students may secure unusual

Seeing Red
Red is a pretty color. It has long attracted bulls, Communists, and SC students.
Although red is an old device to signify danger, the bull is too dumb to realize it, the Communist too blinded by the party line to worry about it, and the SC student too thoughtless to care about it.
$C has lots of red spotted about the campus. All of these red markings were placed in their respective positions on the assumption that everyone knows red means “danger—stay away.”
They were put there to keep students from parking at potential accident points.
University avenue is a good example. Parking is prohibited because students cross the avenue at any point. A driver, with his view of the sidewalk blocked, could easily hit a pedestrian emerging from between two parked cars.
Corner parking is also banned for a good reason. Cars parked at corners restrict a driver’s view of the intersection, and an accident could easily result.
It is true that parking space is scarce at SC. But it isn't scarce enough to warrant the endangering of somebody’s life.

Room-to-Room Solicitation Starts Today
A classroom drive to collect donations for the Living War Memorial fund will get under way at 10 o'clock this morning.
LWM fund contributions go to provide scholarships for sons and daughters of men killed in World War H.
The drive for classroom donations will be conducted by Trovet^ Knights. Squires, and members of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity.
‘A leter explaining the purpose of LWM will be read to the students by the volunteer workers and then a sealed container will be passed around the classroom” said Floyd McCann. Trovets president.
A total of SI642 has been collected in the drive, which ends Friday.
Contributions to the drive have been mostly from individual organizations, McCann said.
Two oil paintings, which would bring from $300 to $500 or more
These organizations have contributed 100 per cent to the Living War Memorial drive:
Alpha Omicron Pi, Zeta Tan Alpha, Delta Phi Epsilon, LAS Council, and Sigma Chi.
on the commercial market, were donated to the LWM fund yesterday by Artists Francis de Erdely, professor of painting, and Edgar I* Ewing, assistant professor of fine arts.
The paintings will be placed on public auction Thursday by Trovets. Time and location of the auction have not yet been determined, according to McCann.
Asa V. Call, president of the Boajd of Trustees, and Mrs. Call gave the drive its biggest boost last week with a donation of $1000.
“The goal of the LWM drive this year is $20,000. If this sum (which averages $1 per student) is not raised this year, the first scholarships, which are scheduled for next September, will have to be paid out of the fund's principal,” McCann said.
“This will make LWM not a living war memorial, but a gradually diminishing fund. On the other hand, if we achieve our goal the scholarships can be paid out of the fund’s interest.” he said.
Contributions to the fund can be made at booths on campus, or 405 SU.
