“Fraternities, sororities, and other campus organizations must tell us who their entrants will be and what type of vehicle they will use in the race, so that we can publish the scratch sheet in time for the races,” he explained.
Slated for Wednesday at University Avenue and West 36th Street, the Push Cart Races will feature six starts. All-fraternity, all-sorority, mixed fraternity and sorority, senate leaders, schools and organizations, and faculty will be the six race divisions.

Taming of Shrew To Open Tuesday
A combination circus ring-master, actor, and wife beater all rolled into one.
This is the role of Paul Phillips, who is appearing as Petruc-io in the drama department’s production of “The Taming of the Shrew.”
The play is scheduled to appear in Bovard Auditorium Mar. 30 through Apr. 3 at 8:30 p.m. A matinee performance will be gjy-en on Friday, Apr. 2, at 2:40.
Actor's Actor Phillips is known as an actor’s actor because other performers like to appear on stage with him. As one actor put it, “you can depend on Paul, regardless of the situation.”
He started his theatrical career in 1940 with the Whitehall Players at Western Reserve University. His training was continued at Compton Junior College where he appeared in several radio shows, won the Southern California Teachers Association contest, and placed first in the Occidental College Shakespeare Festival.
Recorded Productions A contract with Allied Recording Company followed, with roles in the recorded productions of “Life of Alexander Graham Bell,” “Life of Edison,” “Slaughter of the Innocents,” and “Leave Her to Heaven.”
In 1949 Phillips appeared locally in “Hit Parade of Sports” and played the second lead in the Gateway Theater production of “The Blackguard.”
He was drafted in 1950 and tou'ed European cities with ‘The Vic Damone Show.” After his discharge from the army he came to SC where he appeared in “Death of a Salesman” and “Berkeley Square.”

Play Director To Appear on Baxter's Show

sponse," Drive Chairman Mary Barrett said.
SC’s quota for the spring drive has been set at 1200 pints. Trojans last semester topped the quota of 900 pints by 50 per cent and Miss Barrett expressed the hope that the present drive will be exceeded by that much also.
Reputation at Stake
“Our reputation is at stake. We must beat the Bruins,” Miss Barrett emphasized.
The UCLA challenge originated last semester when the Daily Bruin claimed the Bruins had topped the Trojan blood drive by a few pints. The claim later was proved to be false.
Sign-up booths will be open again today from 10 a.m. to 2 pm. in the Student Union and also in front of the law and engineering buildings. University College students have been provided booths in order to get more persons to pledge.
Urgently Needed
“Aside from the rivalry of the two schools* students should give blood from the standpoint of civic responsibility and with the thought that it is urgently needed at all times,” Miss Barrett said.
The Red Cross distributes the blood donated to wounded servicemen and hospitalized veterans, as well as to civilians.
Booths will be open the remainder of the week. Next week those who pledged blood will report at the prescribed time tc donate their blood.
Each person donating blood will be given a card showing his type of blood.

A weed that grows wild in California has been found to be a new source of an antidote for the nerve gas being made in Denver, the School of Pharmacy announced yesterday.
The plant, which is like the jimson weed, is known to botanists as Datura meteloid-es and is rich in atropine, the most effective antidote for nerve gases.
It was just announced last week that a deadly nerve gas, GB, is being manufactured at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal in Denver. The gas is reportedly invisible, odorless, and tasteless, and is so potent that a drop of it in liquid form touching a broken spot in the skin can kill a person in 30 seconds.
Poison Gas
The gas is also known to the Russians from their World War II capture of German scientists who first made the poison.
Dr. Orville H. Miller, professor of pharmacy, and Paul Kalemkri-arian, manager of the University Dispensary, two years ago began investigating plants as a source of atropine. The United States government reportedly is stockpiling the drug because its normal source is in Balkan countries behind the Iron Curtain.
The weed also is a source of scopolamine. Both atropine and scopolamine are used medically in treatment of nerve conditions.
Unique Drug
Datura meteloides is unique in that both the leaves and stems are sources of the drugs. The leaves and stems are dried and powdered, and the drugs are removed by pouring liquid solvents through the dry mass.
Because the weed can be cut close to the ground and the leaves do not have to be picked, labor costs will be low in producing the drugs.
“This weed which has been an overlooked source of atropine is one of the few plants which would successfully compete with those from abroad,” Dr. Miller said.
Nerve gas works as an anti-

choline esterase. Nerve impulses are transmitted from muscle endings by choline. A substance in the body known as choline esterase then destroys the choline to return bodily conditions to normal. Nerve gas, however, allows the choline to accumulate until the lungs are filled with fluid and a victim actually drowns in this fluid.
Atropine is an anti-cholinergic drug that reverses the process and therefore is an antidote to the nerve gas.
Native to California
The weed is native to California, other Southwestern states, and Mexico. It is a hardy perennial and grows in unlimited supply in desert area6, pastures, fields, orchards, and along highways and railroad tracks. It is almost impossible to kill and produces an abundance of leaves and stems the first year, unlike most other drug-producing plants.
Dr. Miller is a graduate of the University of Washington and has been on the pharmacy faculty since 1950. He has worked for the United States Fcod and Drug Administration in San Francisco.
Kalemkriarian, a graduate of the University of Cairo, Egypt, obtained his MS degree in pharmacy at SC last year. His research was directed by Dr. Miller.
Voting Begins Today to Pick Mr. Casanova
Who is the greatest lover at Troy?
That question Will be answered today when students vote for “Mr. Casanova.” Any student may register his choice for campus Casanova ;.t the booth in front of the Student Union building from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“You can vote for any campus casanova you think is the best lover,” Mr. Trojanality chairman Ed Wilkinson said, “and you can vote as many times as you want as long as each ballot is accompanied by a 25 cent donation to Trojan Chest.”
Bob Hope Sponsors
The contest is being sponsored by Bob Hope in conjunction with the Mr. Trojanality committee, the Daily Trojan, and the Squires. Hope plays Casanova, himself, in his newest picture, “Casanova’s Big Night.” The contest has set up to gublicize the picture. Hope Announced the contest on his national TV show last week.
Winner of the voting today will compete with the leading lover from other campuses for the national “Mr. Casanova” title. The national winner will be announced on Hope’s Apr. 13 NBC-TV show. He will be the comedian's guest for a week, and will escort a starlet each night to a famous night spot
Double Vote
Wilkinson emphasized that a vote for Mr. Casanova also has the double effect of being a vote for “Mr. Trojanality.” Any Casanova vote for a candidate entered in the Trojanality contest will receive credit in bota contests. Several hundred dollars worth of prizes will go to the “Mr. Trojanality” winner.
“The Casanova contest will be held today only and all voting ceases at 2 pjn.,” Wilkinson said. He explained that a photograph of the winner and a 100 word essay on his loving qualifications must be submitted to Hope.
