BULLETIN Late last night Coast Guard officials reported finding a boat overturned about one mile off Catalina island in the search for two missing SC students. No survivors nere found, however,’ but officials said they would search both the island and the surrounding waters.
when for once, people open up their hearts to those less fortunate. It is a season of graciousness, he said.
In a prelude to his readings Dr. Baxter stressed the slow integration of man into the world. “Slowly we have seen the integration of friendships of peoples and countries. The haves are giving to the have nots,”, he said.
Dickens' Carol
“Whether you believe or not. history tells us the Bible story is a tremendous force in the world for human betterment.”
Dr. Baxter opened his readings with a bit from Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” eloquently portraying the character of Scrooge, but finishing with his familiar classroom admonition, “But you must read the rest of this for yourselves.”
“The Oxen,” by Thomas Hardy, is the writing Dr. Baxter considers to be most important among the modern Christmas verses. “Thomas Hardy was a typical man of the late 19th century. Tor him there was no easy faith, but he realized men have a human hunger to look beyond the darkness.” Dr. Baxter said.
Anglo-Maniac “I am an Anglo-maniac,” Dr. Baxter said. “I love the British. So many of the things I believe stem from that little island.”
He told of the ChrVtmas of 1942 when Rommel was giving the British forces trouble in North Africa.
‘ How did they celebrate Christmas?” he asked. “By having a poetry contest.” Then he read the selections “Christmas in Tobruk,” by H. G. Knight, and “A Soldier. His Prayer,” by an anonymous soldier.
Nash Benchley Dr. Baxter also read the humorous writing of Ogden Nash, “The American Bard,” and Robert Benchley.
His most stirring moments came when he read the verse in the New Yorker about Christmas, 1944, and j the wonderful presents our soldiers were giving to us—beachheads, atolls, countries.

A 50-minute ses^on, the shortest on record this year, brought the ASSC Senate’s business for 1951 to an abrupt
close last night.....................................
The Senators were evidently anxious to hear Dr. Frank C. Baxter’s Christmas readings, because they whipped through piles of legislative red tape
in almost no time.
Two constitutional amendments which were to have been brought up for debate were shelved until next year.
Dispensing with the reading of the minutes, the solons heard reports from Dick Thomas and Lise-lad Berger, representing the World Students Service fund. Miss Berger, vice-president of the Free Uni- j versity of Berlin, told about the hardships faced by university students in the Russian zone of Berlin.
Miss Berger was accompanied by Eva Heymann, president of the Free University of Berlin.

Blood to Flow Again Today To Red Cross
The campus Red Cross blood drivf got off to a slaw start yesterday, but picked up in the afternoon. Trojans contributed 205 pints of blood. 129 short of the number pledged to donate Wednesday.
Nearly 700 students last week registered to give blood yesterday and today. The drive closes at 4 p.m.
Donors entered the basement of Town and Gown smiling confidently to contribute and came out later still smiling, though sometimes somewhat pale. AU of them freely acknowledged that there is nothing to giving blood.
Give Blood Today
As on an assembly line, donors are sped through the process. They are offered orange juice at the beginning and either orange juice or coffee with cookies at the end.
After the donor has his record processed by a volunteer Red Cross worker, he is given a hemoglobin test by a nurses’ aide. The donor is then led into the blood donation room and to one of twelve beds. In some 30 minutes, the donation is over.
Give Blood Today
The final stage of the process is in the refreshment room, where orange juice, coffee, and cookies are served. A registered nurse observes the donors for any possible after effects.
SC leads eight other southern California schools in number of pints pledged. Troy pledged 660 pints. UCLA pledged 550 pints but gave 615; Loyola. 214: LACC and LA State, 314: El Camino, 153; Mount St. Maiy’s. 102; Harbor JC, 84: and Emaculate Heart, 6C.
Students and faculty members, whether they have signed up previously or not, are urged to donate between 10 a.m. and noon today.

Gown as confusion arose over release slips handed by NROTC minors to Red Cross officials before donating their blood as part of the current blood drive.
In the past it has been customary for Capt. Burtnett K. Culver, commanding officer of the NROTC unit, to sign the parent’s release slip required of all minors giving blood.
When Midshipman Robert L. Ih-rig, the first middie not of age to arrive, reported, ced Cross workers refused to acc /t the release slip in his possession. Puzzled, Ihrig hurried to the NROTC office in the Physical Education building, where he told of his experience.
Lt. W.C. Cook of the unit staff went immediately to Town and Gown to investigate the trouble Lieutenant Cook found several midshipmen waiting with troubled looks on their faces. The lieutenant was escorted to the doctor-in-charge, and they had hardly begun to discuss the matter when Commander G.L. Conkey, unit executive officer, "arrived.
After a half hour's discussion, the middies were allowed to proceed through the line. It was explained that Red Cross officials did not realize that, in the case of servicemen who are minors, the state law allows their commanding officer to sign the slip.

Teamwork Reduces Traffic Toll * * ¥ * *
Jurist Lauds DT Scribe
In response to a feature story that appeared in Monday’s Daily Trojan as part of the traffic safety campaign, editorial writer John Albright yesterday received the letter below from Judge A. J. Bernhardt. Albright wrote one day in the Judge’s traffic court. Judge Bernhardt commends Albright for the story and comments on the need for everyone to observe traffic safety practices.
Dear Mr. Albright:
One of the employees of our Traffic Division read your article in the Daily Trojan, entitled “Traffic Court Visit, Movie Cures for Driver Apathy,” and was thoughtful enough to bring it to court so that I might read same.
I was deeply touched by your thoughtful remarks and know in my own heart that articles calling for cooperation can do more for traffic safety than we realize. I am confident that if we all work on the same team we can reduce traffic deaths and promote the happiness of our community.
Again, may I thank you for your effort.
A. J. Bernhardt. Judge Municipal Court,
City of Los Angeles.
