High Winds —
According to Malibu Sheriff substation officials, offshore winds up to 63 miles were reported in the Malibu area Sunday night and the general location in which the students had gone fishing earlier that day was very rough.
The youths disappearance was first reported by Singleton's father. Joseph R. Singleton, when they failed to return to Singleton s home in Santa Monica Sunday afternoon.
Extensive Search
The Coast Guard, county life guards, and the Sheriffs Aero squad joined in the search yesterday. In addition to a private plane hired by
Singleto* in an effort to search the Catalina area, members of TKE have also joined the search for the two students.
Prior to the balking weather conditions. the Coast Guard was employing the services of a PBY plane and cutter in search for the two youths. Coast Guard officials reported that an area twenty miles long and four miles wide off Catalina Island had been carefully searched for the missing students. Although no sign of any floating material from the skiff has been found, the Coast Guard reported that they will continue the search today if weather conditions are per-missable.
AFROTC to Help
Arrangements have also been made by Col. Bob Arnold, commanding officer, Air Force Reserve Officers Training corps, and Capt. Burtnett K. Culver, commanding officer of the Naval Reserve Officers Training corps unit, to extend further facilities in the search for the youths.
Executive secretary of the Arnold Air Society, ARFOTC fraternity, Giese is also Cadet Lieutenant Colonel and Wing Executive Officer of the local AFROTC unit.
Choir Presents Yule Medleys At Noon Today
Christmas at home and in church will be previewed by SC’s Concert choir when it presents three medleys of Christmas songs today at 12:15 p.m. in Bovard auditorium in the concluding Music at Noon program for the year of 1951.
Under the direction of James M. McKelvey, the more than 50 members of the choir will first present “Christmas in Church,” a medley of religious classics. The choir will be divided in half and placed at both sides of the stage, similar to choir loft seating used in many churches.
Numbers to be sung for “Christmas in Church” include “Break Forth. O Beauteous Heavenly Light,” Bach; “Ave Maria,”* Villa-Lobos: and “Hallelujah. Amen” from “Judas Maccabaeus,” Handel.
Bass Soloist
“The People That Walked In Darkness” from the “Messiah,” Handel, will be sung by Marvin Hayes, bass soloist, to conclude the group.
For “Christmas. Caroling.” a medley of traditional carols the choir will be massed to the left of the stage and will carry candles similar to those used by carolers in earlier days to light their way as they sang.
Well-Known Carols
Songs to be presented in this group will include such pieces as “Joy to the World,” Handel; “The First Noel,” arranged by R. Shaw, “Hark! the Herald Angels < Sing,” Mendelssohn; “Lo. How a Rose E’er Blooming,” M. Praetorius; and “Silent Night,” by Gruber and arranged by McKelvey.
“Sheep May Safely Graze,” Bach, will feature Joanne Ennis and Cleo Nohr in a flute duo.
... Of Christmas Spirits—1951
The Shakespearian expert will thus make good a promise to dedicate the program to the Trovets Memorial program, which provides scholarships for children of SC men killed in World War II.
Last night.. Dr. Baxter strode briskly up the steps to the Bovard stage two at a time and captivated his audience with passages from Dickens’ “Christmas Carol.”
“If you don’t know what this is, you may leave,” Dr. Baxter quipped, holding the book up high before the near-capacity crowa.
And as usual when that lovable English professor comes down from his fourth floor Founders hall cubicle to recite another chapter in Trojan Christmas tradition, his spontaneity of thought and personality provided the spark that lighted the holiday spirit for all who heard him.

EVERYMAN' YULE DRAMA IN STOP-CAP OPENING
As an array of lights play across the stage, the National Collegiate Players will tonight present the medieval morality play, “Everyman.” The curtain rises at 8 in the Stop-Gap theater, Hoover and Exposition. Subsequent performances will be given tomorrow and Friday nights at 8 and 9:30.
Featuring brilliant lighting devised by Bill White, a revolving stage, and spectacular choreography, “Everyman” stars Richard Mangan and Virginia Reck and is directed by Edward Earle.	t
White, who was highly praised by
Los Angeles critics for his lighting of “The Consul” is experimenting with lighting effects and this is expected to be one of the highlights of the show.
Mangan and Miss Reck had the lead roles in the Crescent Theater’s recent production of “Biography.”
Other featured performers are Sue Brown. Leigh O’Malley, and Stan Johnson. The story concerns a man who gives an accounting of his life to God. The only man who can accompany Everyman is Good Deeds.
and her husband is the consul.
Just Red Tape
The consul is red tape personified. Although the man himself never appears in the opera, the effects of his policies form the dominant theme of it.
His office deals in duplicates, triplicates, and come-back-tomorrows.
The frustration and suspense in the story are heightened effectively by the accompanying music. Menotti wrote both the music and the libretto.

Fraternities and sororities rallied behind the Living War Memorial drive yesterday and Campaign Chairman Frank Ford said the project appears headed for success.
Goal for the drive which ends Saturday is $5000. So far the Trovets have $1000 in collections and pledges. Latest campus organizations to pledge 100 per cent are Sigma Chi, Beta Sigma Tau, and AROTC.

Classroom collections will be taken up in 10 o'clock classes today. Evening collections will be taken at 7 Thursday.
Ford appealed to students without 10 o’clock classes to come to the student lounge tomorrow to help take up the collections. Chimes, Spurs. Phrateres, and Troeds are aiding the Trovets.
