Dr. Frank C. Baxter, SC Eng-
1	s h professor, presented “A j .hristmas Carol” in his one-man | how to a packed hall of over 200
'reons in the YWCA building j esterday afternoon.
Standing before a bare green j rick wall, and without the aid f any props, the Shakespearian cialist brought to life Charles ickens’ immortal classic. It was complete preview of Baxter’s nnual Christmas Readings, which rill be given in Bovard auditor-m next week.
Life Subject The professor was introduced i y Mrs. Daniel Robinson, chair- , an of the Maid6 and Matrons of j e YWCA, who sponsored the rent. She introduced him by not-g a recent feature article on | jim in Life. magazine, and his j oice as recipient of the Sylvan-Television Award in New York. ■ Dr. Baxter countered Mrs. Rob- ; son’s praises by explaining that j
2	was "a child of fortune.” “Speaking of the articles pub-
~hed about me,” he said, “I rote to Publisher Henry Luce in ew York and said, ‘You wrote e up in Time and Life—now all want is Fortune.’ He hasn’t re-rned my letter though.”
Greatest Little Book “This has been called the great- I t little book in the world, ‘A i hristmas Carol’,’’ said Baxter. j t was published 102 years ago ; 'Charles Dickens.
“You know, every change in j ankind has been preceded by a k or play, and ‘A Christmas ' arol’ was oertainly one of those j oks.
"Christmas used to be a poor j an’s holiday," he 6aid. “Now it’s j st a time for food—a greasy j urmet s holiday that begins in j ugust and ends at 2:30 p.m. on ec. 25. Times have changed.”
Dr. Baxter showed the audience facsimile of Dickens’ original j anuscript, saying that this was e only book that the author d ever published with colored i ctures.
Dramatic Reading When the bespectacled profes- j r began the readings, he trans-rmed his podium into a stage himself into the multitude of ickens’ characters, walking back d forth, gesturing, lowering his ice, and shouting.
He interrupted the actual stories only to apoloize for having skip parts of it. Even so Dr. j xter read for an hour and a If.
Members of the student cabinet e co-sponsors of the Readings, hich will be open to all 6tudents Bovard auditorium next week, ider charity auspices for theTro-ts’ Living War Memorial.

★ Target-Bill of Rights
This week marks the 162nd anniversary of the Bill of Rights. It is the responsibility of each and every American to take a few moments to re-examine those principles which have made America great these past 162 years.
Today, the Bill of Rights is a target for three undermining forces. In the first category fall those who threaten to destroy our sacred freedoms by advocating violent overthrow of the government. They threaten to replace our form of government based on free enterprise and free expression with a totalitarian and communistic form of society. They appeal to self-styled intellectuals bent on freeing the oppressed and the persecuted. Their pattern is one aimed at winning sympathy, and like a cankerous growth, erode and destroy everything they touch.
Those who fall into the second category are no less a threat to our constitutional liberties. Among this group are those who short-circuit and circumvent constitutional guarantees to achieve selfish ends. They, too, would have a totalitarian form of government—a government that would not sanction freedom of speech, freedom
of religion, freedom of the press, petition, and assembly. Among this group are those who advocate lynch law for the sake of expediency and not for the sake of justice. Disguised as defenders of the American heritage, these self-motivated individuals may strike the guilty, but invariably leave a wake of innocent victims.
The third group is by far the most dangerous. It consists of a amorphous conglomeration of disinterested Americans who just don’t give a damn. They are tihe Romans of yesteryear who basked in the sunshine of luxury and woke up one day to see it all taken away from them. This group, horn and bred in a free society— taking for granted what they gluttonously relish—will never appreciate the experience of being free until it is all taken away and destroyed.
Americans can make the Bill of Rightr indestructable, not by guarding it m a glass-enclosed cage, but by jealously protecting it with attitudes in appreciation for the freedoms that no other country in the world enjoys.
Let’s not curse the fates for the freedom we HAD; let’s thank God for the freedom we enjoy NOW!

JACK DAVIS
. tells of sports
Panel Plans To Discuss World Sports
Sports of the various nations will be described by international athletic stars on a “World Understanding Through Athletics” panel today at 2:30 p.m. in the YWCA.
Jack Davis, SC’s Olympic track staf; Bob Buckley, football star; Paula Jean Myers, Olympic diver; Fahmy Attallah, English channel swimmer, and Dr. Albert F. Zech will be panel members.
The program is sponsored by the Red Cross Council and the Amazons, said Mary Barrett, chairman of the SC Red Cross Unit. It will honor the university’s international students.
“Our 545 international students have been invited,” Miss Barrett said, “and also 60 foreign students from California junior colleges and universities who will be special guests at thé discussion.”
Caves Will Be Lecture Topic
Rollin Wallace, graduate' stu dent, will speak on the “Caves of California” at today’s noon geology lecture in 412 Bridge Hall.
Wallace has explored extensions of Mitchell’s Caverns in the Providence Mountains, th e Winding Stair Cave in the Mohave Desert, and Harrington Cave near Bodfish.
He will describe his findings in California caves, which included bats, fish, salamanders, spiders, and cave flies. The discovery of these animals often provides clues to the origin of the subterranean caverns of the Atlantean tertiary era.
“Usually c a v e-explorers only look for formations, and not the more revealing material which might disclose the origin of the cave. The inhabitants, sede-mentation, and rock formations are all essential in our studies,” Wallace said.
Kodachrome slides will be shown, including scenes from Death Valley, a one-time ocean bed, and Santa Cruz Island, a modern sea cave.
Wallace is a member of the National Speleogical Soc i e t y, whose title is derived from the ancient Romans. The Roman people used these caves as a retreat from the hot sun, naming them spfeluncae,” from which the word “spelunker,” now applied to anyone who explores caves, originated.
Refreshments will be served by Sigma Gamma Epsilon to all attending the talk.

Saturday we will meet with the UCLA and LACC APhiO Car Pool committees, and coordinate our programs of transportation,” said Chairman Jones. “In doing that, those who are not matched with rides or riders here, may be matched with somebody from UCLA or LACC.”
All applicants will be notified by Monday as to the success of their applications. Jones warned that those who are going to areas such as New York or Denver
should make other reservations, because cances of rides to those areas seem slim.
Fifth Year
This is the fifth year of the car pool, and according to Jones, the most successful.
Last year’s travelers reported faster service than by train or bus, with lower traveling costs for both car owners and riders.
Jones said some people are trying to advertise for rides and riders on the campus bulletin boards,
but that most of them are unsuccessful.
He suggested that these people could get faster service by applying at the fraternity’s booth or by seeing-Mrs. Tiegs in the Student Lounge.
Cardinal-Cold Post Sunk During Colorful Rites
University Avenue, from West 34th Street to Exposition Boulevard, was closed in historic ceremonies yesterday noon in front of Student Union.
Students, university, and city officials participated in the ceremonies, in which the six block area was closed to vehicular traffic as a safety mea- ~~
sure.
Alan Williams, executive assistant to Mayor Norris Poulson, addressed the assembled students and faculty, and said the mayor regretted that he was unable attend because of an important engagement of long standing. He praised SCs spirit and the progress the University has made since its beginning in 1880.
President Fred D. Fagg Jr., and ASSC President, Warren Clendening, also spoke to the group. Ken Shanks, serving as master of ceremonies for the affair, told the history of SC and narrated the old-time fashion show that preceded the speeches.
Big Moment The big moment came when President Fagg placed a tall wooden cardinal and gold post, with “Wesley Avenue 1880-1911” painted on one side and on the other side, “University Avenue 1911-1953.” The street was known as Wesley Avenue from 1880 until it was changed to University Avenue in 1911. It had always been SC’s main street.
Homecoming Queen Dawna Boiler, representing Miss 1953, and C1 e n dening assisted President Fagg in placing the post in the ground.	*
The fashion show, staged by several coeds, included a costume representative of the early 1880s, one of the 1910 era, and a short dress of the 1922 period, which was of salmon satin with glass beads, and ribbon decorated. An old time bathing suit from the gay nineties also brought a laugh. Styles at the ceremonies were representative of 73 years of fashion at SC.
City Attorney Roger Arnebergh, city attorney, and Don A. Allen, councilman from the seventh council district, which includes SC, were also at the ceremonies. Assistant City Attorney Albert W. Cartlidge, Traffic Engineer Ralph T. Dorsey, Police Commissioner John J. Ferraro, and Public Works Commissioners Arch L. Field, Leo M.
