SC WINS MODEL UN MAJOR AWARD
Trojan blood donors will begin lining up today at 8:3G j a.m. in the Commons basement to kick off the four-day Red Cross Blood drive.
A last minute call for 200 more student signups has been issued by Drive Chairman Sally McGrath.
“We need that many more signups before we can even hope to reach our goal of 900 pints,” Miss McGrath said. “This would *be a disastrous time for any type of apathy to hit the campus,” she continued.
Only 861 Trojans have answered so far to the call for blood. Miss McGrath said. Six sororities and 19 fraternities have not yet turned in their group slips containing probable donors. Signups will continue during donation time today and tomorrow from 8:30 to 12:30 and Thursday and Friday from 10:30 to 2:30.
Representative Asks for More Donations
Mrs. Rita Holman, Red Cross field representative for school and college activities, also asked more students to sign up for donating.
“Stanford’s spring drive ended recently with a record 4400 pints collected,” Mrs. Holman said. “SC should be able to give at least a fourth of that!”
For students who are going to donate today through Friday, Mrs. Holman recommended that they eat their meals regularly and be on time for their appointments at 12:30 and 2:30 must be prompt since the basement doors will be closed after those times,” she said. She also stressed the fact that minors must have their signed release slips with them. All release forms must be signed by a witness before they will be accepted, she said.
Entire Process Takes Only Half-Hour
‘I’m sure that the students realize the necessity of
whole blood for wounded Americans in Korea,” Mrs. Holman
said. “Those of us in the states can do our part by contributing blood.”
Students who have not signed up for donations may drop in at the hours specified each day, she said. Only a half-hour is required for the entire process of the preliminary examination, and the blood donating.
Coffee and cookies will be served.
Delta Tau Delta is the leading contender for the trophy awarded the men’s living group for the highest number of pledges. Not far behind are fraternities Theta Kappa Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Acacia.
Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority is leading Pi Beta Phi, Delta Delta Delta, and Kappa Kappa Gamma in the competition for the trophy awarded to the women’s living group.
AFROTC is ahead of other contenders for the trophy awarded to the service organization. Acacia, Pi Beta Phi, and the AFROTC won the trophies last semester.
All donors will receive credit cards that will entitle them and their families to free blood transfusions anywhere in the Mnited States.

ord Reveals Plans As New IFC President
Art Ford, newly-elected IFC president, yes terday promised that his first meeting as president Thursday will be an active one. He is plannig to set up three of projects within the council, committees to launch a program
The first order of business will be to set a committee to investigate the possibility of additional lighting along University avenue between Jefferson boulevard and 28th street.
“The 3-block-w a 1 k between school and the Row is very dark at night, and it should be lighted better, especially for the women
who have to walk back to the Row after night classes,” Ford said.
Paved Alley
He is also planning to form a committee to see about paving the alley between the Chi Omega house to Alpha Omicron Pi house. He hopes to get a petition drawn up and signed by the owners on both sides of the alley, which includes private residences facing
on 30th street, one block soutn.
Ford will set up the third committee to hear disciplinary cases involving entire fraternities.
“The IFC should handle all oases where houses have violated some IFC or university rule,’ he said.
Ford will also suggest that ail houses appoint a member to take a first-aid course and receive training in civil defense.
A Dry Run
IFC Coordinator Ken Shanks, who scheduled a Repatriation day last Friday to effect the return of many stolen articles on the Row, yesterday called the project
“a dry run.”
"The only thing returned to me were some skins from the Beta Theta Pi house,” he said.
He had been hoping for the re-tumturn of many things, including a couple of front doors, an elephant's foot, a deer’s head, and several house charters.
Thursday’s IFC meeting will be 4 p.m. at the Theta Chi house.
Trophy Given For Timeliness Of Resolutions
General Assembly Passes Three SC Motions at Meet
Such forceful and timely resolutions as the one advocating international weapons-control less than 24-hours after President Eisenhower’s challenge to Russia to disarm wor for SC's delegation the trophy as the best representative of a major power in the Model UN.	#
SC was awarded the highest honor for representing the United States most actively and accurately in its foreign policy at the final banquet of the third annual Model UN, Saturday night in Fernwald hall on the Berkeley campus.
The delegation, headed by Mo-hinder Bedi, had three resolutions passed by the General Assembly, the most of any university. Murray Bring introduced the resolution to establish a commission for political and economic advancement of non-self governing territories and to submit the questionn of racial segregation in the Union of South Africa to the UN Court of Justice for an-advisory opinion.
World Disarmament Bill Van Alstyne called for world disarmament through the UN in his resolution, which was cosponsored by Russia in the Political and Security committee.
The Russian delegation, represented by California, atteirmted to push through a resolution which would have all technical guidance of UN disarmament in U.S. hands. The resolution was proposed by Russia in order to make it look as though the U.S. were domineering the disarmament program. The ulterior motive was recognized by the SC delegation and was defeated by the Western nations under U.S. leadership.
Surprise Issue The surprise issue, which was introduced Fridaj’, turned out to be a war between Sudan and Egypt. “The Security Council session was interrupted by a messenger about 4:30 Friday afternoon,” recalled Bring," and the
telegram which he carried announced by Great Britain the Egyptians’ invasion of Sudan.” The council adjourned until 7 p.m. when the discussion on the strategic question began. Bedi, as head of the U.S. group, pushed through a cease fire resolution to halt the African outbreak until further investigation could be made.
Dick Merritt, Jim Smith, and Jim Ivanoff played key parts in achieving SC’s successful representation of the ti.S. The students praised Prof. Eugene Harley, professor of political science, for his advisory and organizational aid.
Next year’s fourth* annual Model UN will be held at UCLA.

DEVIL AND DANIEL SCREENS TONIGHT
“The Devil and Daniel Webster," an early American film classic, will be presented in 133 FH tonight at 8:30.
The film, a presentation of the spring Film Classics series, originally was released under the title “All That Money Can Buy.” It is based on a short story by Stephen Vincent Benet.
In the movie Walter Huston was cast as a devil in one of his most famous roles, while Daniel Webster was portrayed by Edward Arnold. Simone Simone appeared as the femme fatale, and James Craig played the part of a farmer.
The plot is centered around a
farmer who sells his soul to the devil in return for seven years of prosperity. At the end of seven years the farmer has become a very powerful and wealthy man, but at the same time he has become feared and disliked by all his old friends and even his wife.
When he refuses to give up his soul at the time agreett upon, he gets Daniel Webster to plead his case, while the devil assembles a rogues gallery of all time for a jury.
So elegant and powerful is Daniel Webster’s plea, however, that the devil loses the case, and the farmer retains his soul. *

The beginnings of a fair and effective method for “smoking out the Communists” may be in the offing—but, testing its constitutionality could take as Jong as 12 to 15 more months.
This point was brought out by Dr. Carl Q. Christol, associate professor of political science, in an interview yesterday. He is an expert in constitutional law.
He discussed the ramifications of yesterday’s order by the Subversives Activities Control board requiring all members of the Com-luncheon to call PRospect 2311, j munist party to register with the
attorney general.
Penalty for failure to register is a $10,000 fine or five years imprisonment, or both.
“The order of the Subversives | Activities board most likely will be deemed constitutional,” said Dr. Christol, “but a test case, involving months of hearings, probably will develop.” *
Seeks Enslavement The board branded the Communist party as “a subsidiary and puppet of the Soviet Union” seeking enslavement of Americans.
They further stated the party is “using the cloak of the United States Constitution . . . and, strives for the 'establishment of a dictatorship of the Proletariat in the United States, a goal which would rob the American people of the. freedoms they have forged.”
“There are two methods in which this Communist registration order might be tested,” Dr. Christol said.
“Assuming the person asked to register i$ a proven Communist,

. . . cites legal procedure
and he refuses to register,” Dr. Christol said, “he then has a right to appeal his case from the board’s decision to the U. S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D. C., within 60 days.
“A second possibility is for the person to be arrested,” Dr. Christol said. “In this case he could seek a writ of habeas corpus on one of two grounds:
“1—He may challenge the order’s constitutionality.
“2—He may admit the order is legal, but claim he is being held without proper cause, denying he is a Communist.
“His case would then be taken to the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals,” Dr. Christol said.
“In either situation, if the or-
der for Communists to register is upheld,” Dr. Christol said, "the case can then be appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court.”
If the Supreme Court refuses the case, it will die and the lesser court’s decision will remain.
“If the Supreme Court accepts the case,” he said, “the final decision of this highest court could take many months.”
How Fought In explaining how it would be fought, Dr. Christol said:
“The Communists probably would fight the case relying heavily on sections in the First and Fifth amendments of the Constitution—Freedom of speech and expression, and the claim that the order deprives them of due process of law in unreasonably taking life, liberty, and property.
"The Federal government would base its case on the Constitutional powers found in Article 1— providing for the common defense and a broad interpretation of the war power.
“The final results of such a test case,” Dr. Christol says, “will be in favor of the government because of its need for strong internal security.”
The Subversives Activities Control Act of 1950, under which the board was created, also provides that the party submit annual financial statements to the attorney general.
Party members 'are forbidden to seek employment in the government. They cannot work in defense plants. They must identify all material sent through the mails and any radio or television broadcast the party sponsors.
