SC Receives Gifts, Grants
Gifts and grants amounting to §262,919.39 were received by SC last month, President Fred D. Fagg, Jr. said today.
More than half of this has been designated for research projects, he said.
Scholarship and student aid funds were increased by $26,546. Mr. and Mrs. Albert T. Quon, Beverly Hills, established a $5000 fund for scholarships. Charles Pfizer and Co., Inc., Brooklyn, N. Y., gave $1000 to aid two medical students. The California State Department of Social Welfare sent $13,600 to support eight graduate students in social work.
American Smelting and Refining Co., New York, gave $1000 for students in chemical and mechanical engineering. The Ladies Auxiliary of the California Pharmaceutical Association, San Diego, gave $300. The California Rodeo Horse Fair and Stock Show, Salinas, gave $500 to send a woman to SC.

blood for various reasons,” Co-Chairman Bill Houser said, “enough reservations will still be on the sign-up sheet until Thursday.”
Blood Booth
A blood booth is set up now on the lawn beside the Commons cafeteria outside stairway to take additional pledges.
The Blood receiving center, located in Commons basement, will open at 9 this morning. Donations will be taken until Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Most important thing is that all students keep their appointments for donations “to the minute,” Houser stressed.
“If one person misses his time, the bed assigned to him will be thrown off schedule,” he pointed out.
Receiving Center
“The way the receiving center is set up, nurses are prepared to handle doners at the rate of 15 every 20 minutes,” he said.
In last year's drive, Houser brought out, some 150 students who had signed up failed to give blood.
The 1952 Campus blood drive set a record for signups, 1088.
Enthusiasm
“If Friday’s enthusiasm to donate blood continues,” Houser said, “we can easily top this to-( tal.”
Co-Chairmen Houser and Shir-j lee Blalock give much of the | credit for the success of this j year’s signups to its president Mary Barrett. She is treasurer of all Southland college blood drives.
'Baby' Plaintiff Loses Quarter Suit in Court
The two-bit IawT suit an SC law student was pressing against his professor was thrown out of the Small Claims Court Friday because the plaintiff was too much of a “baby.” Barry L. Hirsh, 20, is still legally an infant and cannot sue until he becomes 21 or if his parents file suit for him, decided Judge Thoma^ L. Griffith.
Hirsch was suing Professor George R. Wicks who borrowed a quarter from Hirsch during a classroom discussion about five weeks ago and then never returned it even though Hirsch asked him for it after class.
“I had to go without lunch that day,” Hirsch said.
Party Tonight
EVK, University Hall, Town and Gown, and Harris Plaza join forces tonight for a combined open house which will be held in EVK and University Hall from 7:30 to 10:15.
Plans for the interdorm “Pigskin Prance” include decorations of past SC and UCLA game scores. The football theme will also be used in the decorations of the halls, and kick-off scenes will be painted on the main doors of both dorms. Joan Wilkes, interdorm council president, and Mary Lou Wickersham, EVK, will be in charge of the decorations.
Punch and cookies will be served on the EVK side under the direction of Miss Wickersham, refreshment chairman. Patti Boerger, Harris Plaza, has made arrangements for Bobby Gibbons and his three-piece combo to provide dance music in the University Hall dining room.
Invitations to the fraternities, independent men’s organizations, and to women’s living groups have been sent out by Alice Harmeyer, Town and Gown.
Officers of the Interdorm council and volunteers from the dorms will act as hostesses, said Miss Wilkes.
Council officers include Miss Wilkes, president:	Diane Ross,
vice president; Carol Craw’ford, secretary-treasurer; Betty Lou Scarbrouf, AWS representative; and Patti Boerger, publicity chairman.

Philippine Vote Draws Enthusiastic Comment
by Dick Reid
News of Ramon Magsaysay’s million-vote victory margin in the
Philippine presidential election last week caused an avalanche of enthusiastic cemments from members of the political science and international relations departments.
Magsaysay, a country-bred enemy of Communist aggression, defeated current Philippine Republic President Elpidio Quirino easily after a stormy elation campaign, polling 1,815,188 votes to 798,022 for Quirino.
Dr. J. E. Harley, chairman of SC’s political science department, regarded the election of Magsaysay as “encouraging, especially when the free nations of the world must stand together.” “Magsaysay,” Harley said, “has long been a friend of the U. S. and an advocate of U. S.-Filipino cooperation.”
Democratic Concept
A Filipino graduate student in political science, Miss Cecilia Franco-Lopez, said Magsaysay’s landslide victory “makes the democratic concept that the president is the people’s representative suddenly sound real.”
Miss Franco-Lopez credited Magsaysay with “rehabilitating the army, which had been harassing instead of protecting the people,” and said that the new president “made possible the holding of a peaceful election in 1951.”
Dr. Rodger Swearingen, international relations professor, attributed the results of the Phil-lipine election to three “most important factors.” Swearingen said that the first of these contributing factors was the issue of corruption in the Quirino administration.
“The charges of corruption made by Magsaysay’s backers may have
been true or grossly exaggerated,” he said, “but they w-ere certainly used to advantage in the election campaign.”
National Hero ,
The second factor that contributed to the election of Magsaysay, Swearingen said, was “the fact that he is a national hero. He is well known for his activities in subduing the Hukbalahap r#bels. As defense minister of the Philippines, he drew up several positive land reform programs to get at the cause of Huk resistance.
“The third contributing factor,” Swearingen continued,” was that Magsaysay is a man of the people. He promised in his campaign that ‘Magsaysay will see to it that nobody starves.’ This kind of a slogan has a vast appeal for a hungry peasant.”
Dr. Harley, describing Magsaysay as a “strong advocate of honest government,” felt that the 46-year-old president-elect’s grassroots campaigning, his colorful and dynamic personality, and his promises of moderate land reform won him the election.
Romulo Back
Harley said he expects General Carlos Romulo, a principal teammate of Magsaysay, to “once more occupy a leading place in the new government.” He added that he felt the Magsaysay administration would further cement relations between the U. S. and the Philippine Republic.
Miss Franco-Lopez observed that outgoing President Quirino’s public support in the Philippines “seems to have dwindled in the midst of proofs of its mishandling of U. S. loans and aid.” She pointed out in contrast that the Filipinos saw Magsaysay as a candidate who was “one of them.” Magsaysay welcomed meeting even the most illiterate farmer.
Day Enrollment Slightly Higher Says Registrar
Enrollment in day classes at SC has taken a very small upturn as compared with enrollment at this time last year, according to Howard W. Patmore, registrar.
SC’s total registration, however, shows a decrease of 456 students as compared to last year. The drop is due to a decrease in University College and Civic Center enrollment.
The total day enrollment for this fall is 10,656, UC is 5433, a drop of 463 students as compared to last year’s 5896, and the Civic Center students number 1183, a drop of 78 from 1261 a year ago.
More Frosh
The Freshman class this year has a total of 1235 as compared to last year’s total of 1171, a gain of 64 students.
Total women students in day classes is 2318, a gain of 253 over last year's total of 2065.
The total number of veterans at SC, UC. and Civic Center is 6641 as compared to a total of 7494 a year ago. Today’s enrollment shows that of the 6641 veterans, there are 165 women.
Cosmopolitan Body
The break-down of the veteran day class enrollment at SC is 3067 men and 85 women.
Today’s student body is representative of all 48 states, the District of Columbia. Alaska, the Canal Zone, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and 68 foreign countries.
Los Angeles residents account for 6503 of the 10,656 day students, and a total of 2906 come from other California cities.
Health Center Offers Free Examinations
Free examinations for diabetes will be offered all this week for SC students, faculty members and employees by the Student Health Center.
“National Diabetes Detection Week begins today,” Dr. Paul Greeley, Director of the Health Service, announced. “The American Diabetes Association sponsors the week in an effort to detect all possible diabetes cases before they reach the serious stages.”
Symptoms to watch for are fatigue, excessive thirst, loss of weight, infections w'hich do not heal, and excessive urination.
"This check up is a more complete examination than those usually given,” Dr. Greeley said. “It is a concentrated effort to discover and prevent any further progress of the disease. Proper dieting and the use of insulin are two modern methods of diabetes control.”
“Last year’s survey at SC proved so successful that University personnel requested that it should be repeated,” said Dr. Greeley.
