World Affairs Group Closes Riverside Meet
“World Leadership in Mid-Century” was the theme of the Institute of World Affairs meeting concluded yesterday at Riverside.
The Far-East and Korean question was prevalent in almost all meetings and conferences, according to Dr. Ross N. Berkes, acting Director of the School of International Relations. Topics with emphasis on Europe also were discussed.
‘Korea is the focal point of the Far Eastern situation and, as such, was uppermost in the minds of almost all the delegates,” said Dr. Berkes.
This was the 27th meeting of the Institute, which was founded 25 years ago.
E>r. Rufus B. von KleinSmid has been the Chancellor of the Institute since its beginning. He has taken an active part in the growth of the annual conference group.
This year the delegates heard 15 major speeches on contemporary international relations. Speakers were delegates to the conference.
All major colleges on the West Coast were represented as well as several schools from the Midwest and East. Delegates spent three days listening to and giving opinions on the world situation in general.

Drama Group Scores Hit in Dickens Opus
The audience at the Stop-Gap theater last night realized what it had been missing for eight years I when the National Collegiate Players opened a three day run of “The Christmas Carol” to mark! their first major performance since. 1942.
The one act, six-scene psycho- i logical drama^ directed by Edward Earle, has a cast of 37. Dickens’ play tells the story of a miserly old villain who is made to see the light when the spirit of his dead business partner haunts him on Christmas.
The Players, after the long lay off, went all out for this production, practically remodeling the playhouse. The lighting and sound effects for the small stage were superbly done, giving to the performance a professional realism.
‘'Scrooge,” living on the stage in all his villainry, was ably portrayed by Mark Buchoz.
Reservations were filled for the play long before curtain time, and many late comers were turned away.
Another performance will be given tonight at 8:30 and two tomorrow night at 8 and 9:30.
Free tickets are obbtainable at the drama office, 3730 South Hoover street. The Stop-Gap theatre is at 37th place and Hoover street.

Doheny Move To Add Space
Workmen will begin moving 500,-000 books in University library Monday.
Reason for the big move, which will be done during the Christmas holiday, is the completion of new shelves, which will increase the library's capacity by 160,000 volumes.
A crew of 25 workmen, using all of the library's 75 hand trucks, will be employed to move the books and rearrange them on the library’s 10 miles of shelving.
The move is part of a program to expand library facilities, said Lewis F. Stieg, librarian. The new' shelves will handle the library’s present rate of growth for five years. Plans have been drawn for stacks in the future to accommodate 1,000.000 volumes, according to Dr. Stieg.
The move, first major one in 18 years since the building was opened on Sept. 12, 1932, is not expected to hamper students who wish to study over the holidays. Limited service will be given during this period. Special arrange ments have been made for advanced research students to get books they will need over the two-week holiday.

Life’s Opinions
“A professor who gives of his heart as well as his mind” is the title Life magazine gives him.
“He has spanned the field of literature and made good writing something to be understood and enjoyed," the magazine commented of him in its article on the bestloved professors m American colleges.
Two performances in Bovard are scheduled. Students will hear the readings at 3. A benefit performance for the Living War Memorial drive is open to the public at 8 pjn.

Dr. Baxter is the man who should, according to a student poll, teach all the classes in the university.
His Christmas readings are varied each year, but the programs are designed to touch the emotions with the serious aspects of the season as well as the humorous.
The Program
Today's readings by the SC professor will include “Three Ghosts Came Riding By.” Walter de la Mare; “The Maidservant at the Inn.” Dorothy Parker; “The Oxen,” Thomas Hardy; “Christmas Trees.” Robert Frost; “Far Away and Long Ago,” a medieval carol; and prose by Robert Benchley and E. B. White.
