Cutter Tells Views Of Spanish Life
by Susie Mc-Bee
Americans are in for a great shock when they visit Spain, Donald C. Cutter, assistant professor of history, told members of the Faculty Club at its Wednesday lucheGn in the Commons.
Dr. Cutter spent eight months in Madrid and Sevilla after
he received a grant for Spanish
research from the Del Amo Foun-
INT A * \A/* dation
uy inr “Most Americans have a dis-■ ^yCIIII WW 11 Id torted idea of Spanish life that
they get from the movies,” he said, “they think Spaniards fear the Franco regime, wear combre-ros, and strum guitars in the middle of the street.”
In Spain it is hard to find obvious evidence of fascism, according to Dr. Cutter.
No Collective Grief “Spaniards have an individual type of liberty, but not a collective type,” he explained. "They can be critical of the government as individuals, but they don’t assemble to express their grievances.
“Most Spaniards are not impressed with the Franco regime, but they will go along with it be- ; cause it represents stability.” People in Spain dress similarly j to people in America, Dr. Cutter j observed.
“The men wear business suits I and hats just like American's and ¡ the women wear cotton dresses,” I he said. “The sombrero wearer I and the guitar strummer aren’t seen any more.
Dig Those Bottled Blondes ‘The peroxide bottle is greatly demanded by Spanish women. We j saw many bleached blondes with f poodle haircuts.”
A major change in Spanish life was discontinuing the siesta, the historian said.	<
“Now the people observe the siesta hours—2 p.m. to 5 p.m.— but they don’t sleep. Instead they talk or just loaf. They go back I entered in the straight	¡ to work at 5 p.m., come home at

Bruin Man Thrown to Fish By Avenge-Seeking Trojans During Late Hour Spree
by Murray Brown
In the furor created by noisy carloads of UCLA students racing through SC early yesterday morning, several Bruins who were committing vandalism eluded some 50 Trojans guarding the campus.
Though Troy students received a tip that the raiders were coming, the Bruins escaped with the Trojan victory flag, and painted the Gates of Troy and the Trojan Column with the letters “UCSLA.” . j	'	—
One Uclan student, Dave Sug-arman, 4051 Abourne Hoad, was caught trying to make a getaway and was uncerempniously dumped into the fish pond of Doheny Memorial Library at about 2 in the morning.
Missing from SC Saturday was mascot George Tirebiter III, believed the. victim of “dognapping” by Bruin students, who started the crosstown rivalry a week and at half before the Nov. 21 SC-UCLA football game.
Officials of both Universities yesterday afternoon decided to take action against any student found guilty of participating in the recent raid, and suspend those who may be found guilty of similar action in the future.
They are now investigating yesterday morning’s vandalism.
Possible Fines Jim Biby, IFC president, said any fraternity proven to have partaken in any campus vandal-
competition.
The awards were presented by I Prof. Alvin Austin, head of the | journalism department at the University of North Dakota.
The ma^Sr address at yesterday’s convention session was delivered by Henry R. Leiberman, New York Times China correspondent, who will return to Hong Kong shortly.
‘Red Domination*
After four years of Red domination of China, Leiberman said, “The United States now has a big Red bear by the tail ... we can’t let go, and we hesitate to commit oursehes any further.” Progress under the Red regime cannot be denied, he said, but it only

Judge Will Speak At Faculty Luncheon
Municipal Court Judge Elizabeth Eberhart Zeigler will be speaker at the fall luncheon of the Women’s Faculty Club at noon today in the Commons dining room.
Speaking on “The Municipal Court,” Mrs. Zeigler will tell the types of cases the Los Angeles Municipal Court handles, and outline the California judicial system in general.
A Phi Beta Kappa SC graduate in 1941, Mrs. Zeigler was ap-

“Improvements in communica-I tions, irrigation, and railroad con-I struction were easier to achieve I because ot the Very low value placed on the individual’s life,” he I s;?id.

Blood Signups Enter Final Day With Total of 530 Pints
Leading groups in last night’s 530 total blood donation signups are Squires and Spurs, campus organizations; NROTC, ROTC competition; Kappa Kappa Gamma, sororities, and TKE, fraternities.
Today is the last day that the Bovard booth will be open for Trojans to sign up.to donate their pint of blood to the 1953 Red Cross Blood Drive, it was announced by Co-chairmen Bill Houser and Shirlee Blalock.
“A staff of Red Cross nurses is scheduled to work Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1;30 p.m. next week,” they said, “taking approximately 15 donors every 20 minutes.”
Donations will be given in the basement of the Commons. Facts in relation to the giving of blood are as follows:
1. There is absolutely no danger in giving blood. Students wTho are not qualified to give blood are eliminated by a preliminary ex-
Red Blooded Students?
Lecture Series |On Movies Set
The first in a series of lectures by prominent members of the motion picture industry will feature Herbert L. Strock, director-editor for Ivan Tors Motion Picture and Television Productions, who will speak on “Current Practices of Production Supervision,” tonight at 7 in the Cinema Department, Room 8.
Because we’re Americans—and have worked and voted and fought during the last 177 years for everything that means freedom—we fulfill '“the need for blood on a free volunteer basis.
It’s a need that never lets up, and only grows more critical as we progress. Yet we, as a free people, are supposed to depend on our pride of responsibility, instead of the orders of a dictator, to fill one of those pint glass jars with our life-giving substance, in order that one of our fellow Amaricans may live.
We Trojans, that is 95 per cent of us, can thank God that THERE ARE AMERICANS that DO have that pride of responsibility which keeps our country free to volunteer for a Red Cross Blood Drive. Yes, we’re the 95 per cent that should thank God. BECAUSE MOST OF US ARE AMONG THE 10,000 SC students WHO DON’T HAVE ANY PRIDE OF RESPONSIBILITY AND EVEN LESS SHAME.
The facts are plain enough. Today, Friday, is the last day to sign up for a visit to the Campus Bloodbank next week, and 530 Trojans have taken advantage of the opportunity to do so. That’s the official score—530 out of 10,000—not a very pretty
score, but we’re not losin* anything. The
ones who are losing aren’t losing any score, they’re probably losing their lives— lives which could be saved by 10,000 pints of blood, our 10,000 pints of blood.
They’re the ones who are stricken with polio and injured in automobile accidents. They didn’t choose their position, and the only help that they can look for—their only hope—is us. Let’s hope that they aren’t looking for that help from students around here. Because evidently we’re too busy to give it to them, too busy to take one half-hour from our carefree lives to save some child’s or adult’s entire life.
When we’re married, and have children of our own, let’s hope that SC students have changed. For if we or our children would be stricken and in need of blood, and those SC students were willing to give it, we might be a little ashamed to ask them, wouldn’t we?
They’ve found a half-hour of their time, and a needle doesn’t seem to scare them. What about the rest of us? Each one of us w ill have to answer that, and it probably isn’t very easy to answer.
The Bovard booth is still there today with more than 9000 signup forms. BLOOD CAN’T BE MADE—IT CAN ONLY BE GIVEN*—M. T.
emination, This test will also determine students who are anemic.
2.	The entire process requires less than a half-hour, and there are only rare instances in which after-effects appear.
3.	There is no danger or feeling in the needle.
4.	Every time that students don’t give the blood they have promised, the Bloodmobile actually loses two pints of blood, because it could have been at a more active area.
Welcome
5.	Faculty members, as well as students, are more than welcome at the blood center.
6.	Ali donors must be between 21 and 60 years old.
7.	If the donor is a minor, the contribution will be accepted only with written permission from a parent or legal guardian. Married female minors may sign their own releases. Married male minors who are economically independent and living apart from parents must have their wife's written permission.
8.	All male and female donors must weigh at least 110 pounds.
The Bovard booth is open from 9 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. today to take appointments for next week’s donations.
Leading Groups
Campus organisations are headed by the Squires and Spurs, each with 9. Going down the list are Knights, 7; University Hall, 6; Newman Club, 5; Greater University Committee and LAS Council, 4; Independent Council, EVK, Chimes, Amazones, Com m e r c e Council, AKU, Shell and Oar Club, School of Dentistry, 3; Tro-vets, Westminster Club, Educational Council, AWS Cabinet, 2; and Nisei Club, Faculty Club, AMS Cabinet, Band, YWCA, Physical Therapy, Graduate School, Nichols Hall, KUSp-FM, L
SC-UCLA Vandals Face Suspension
Officials of UCLA and SC are investigating the vandalism which took place on both campuses yesterday morning preceding the annual SC-UCLA football game on Nov. 21.
In the interest of continuing the friendly rivalry between these two universities, immediate steps are being taken to prevent any further property damage on either campus. Students suspected of participating in last night’s activities are being interrogated and action is planned against those students who are guilty.
The Dean of Students, Milton Hahn, and the Assistant Dean of Students, Byron Atkinson, of UCLA and the Dean of Students, Bernard L. Hyink, and the Counselor of Men, Albert Zech, of S6 are recommending suspension from the university for any student found guilty of similar action on either campus in the future.
ism will be subject to “fines, social probation, and other action” starting today.
Several hours after the Bruin invasion, a number of SC students splattered red and white paint over the Uclan athletic fields and 6idevvalks.
“We don’t want anymore retaliations,” Biby said. “If the Bruins want to make fools of themselves, let them.“
Constructive efforts are being
made to recover Tirebiter and the banner, according to Biby.
A meeting of presidents from all fraternities of UCLA and SC to try and work out a method of eliminating vandalism between the two universities will be held Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at the Phi Psi house.
“No Bruin Rioting”
Last Tuesday IFC President Biby met with the UCLA IFC President and was promised “no Bruin rioting would occur at SC.”
Knights and Squires will guard the campus every night until the UCLA encounter is over, Knight President Tom Graham said. Graham, on guard during yesterday morning’s vigil, said Bruin cars were going by the Trojan statue until 4:30 a.m.
“I would appreciate it if students would volunteer to stand guard,” Graham said.
Firecrackers were shot off, horns honked, and tires screeched, as 12 carloads of Westwood students sped past Tommy “T” until they ran headlong into a phalanx of Trojans.
Biocked Roads
SC cars blocked off two vehicles with eight Bruin women in them, and let the air out of their tires, took off distributor and hub caps, and left them stranded.
Seven police cars from the University Police Station arrived on the scene and many of the Troy guards were busying themselves with tipping the women s autos at Hoover and 36th Street.
In the meantime,it is believed the victory flag was snatched from the mast atop Bovard auditorium and the Greek stone and Troy gates smeared.
One disgusted Trojan said “we should paint the Troy 6tone ourselves, then the Brouns would (Continued on Page 4),

Engineering Dean Will Tel! Of Recent Visit Through Asia
A rich agricultural country but a very weak industrial one, Thailand (Siam) needs outside aid to better her economy and to remain a strong democratic nation in the fight against Communism, according to Robert E. Vivian, dean of the School of Engineering, who will relate his recent visit to Asia tonight at 7:30 in 133 FH. '	%
Dean Vivian, who toured Asia as a consultant to the Mutual Security Agency, will show ko-dachrome slides as well as tell his impressions of the countries
he visited. One of these slides won a $100 war bond prize at the 1953 international picture contest, sponsored by Photography Maga-

zine. Out of 91.103 pictures entered, his was awarded one of the 55 prizes.
Thailand exports a large amount of rice and other agricultural products, but when it comes to industry she needs the help of the US and the other western powers, Dean Vivian said. Eighty to 90 per cent of her population are employed in agriculture, he added.
Dr. Vivian’s trip lasted three months and covered more than 30,000 miles, mainly in the Orient. He served as an adviser on the latest methods for producing ammunition, explosives, and fertilizer. .
Most of his work was concen* trated in Thailand, Formosa, Japan, and Malaya. As a part of the program to aid these countries, the Mutual Security Agency set up personnel training, and economic and industrial expansion programs.
Dr. Vivian was greatly impressed with Thailand because although it is surrounded by war-tom Malaya and Indo-China it still is a peaceful and independent nation. He added that of all the cities he visited, Bangkok, Thailand's capital,-had the friendliest people and that they thought very highly of the United States.
