Friday is “B-Day” for summer Trojans.
A Red Cross Bloodmobile will be on campus from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. that day for an emergency Wood drive, the first to be held at a southern California schoo,! in the summer.
More than 200 Trojans are expected to sign up for appointments starting today in front of the Student Union to ----------- i
Indonesian Kids Happy, Says Beck
donate blood for wounded Korean veterans still hospitalized and for civilian disaster needs.
“I hope everyone will respond to this very worthy cause and make an appointment this week so that when the Bloodmobile comes Friday we won’t have any lulls in the donations to be held in the basement of the Commons,” said drive chairman Anne Clements.
Both Dr. John D. Cooke, dean of Summer Session, and Albert S. Raubenheimer, educational vice-president, have urged students to sign up for the drive.
“Although the Korean war is over, there still is a pressing need for blood oversears as many of the repatriated service men require immediate transfusions,” Miss Clements said.
“The goal of 200 pints is not too high, but everyone must do his share if the quota is to be met,” she added.
Los Angeles city school teachers attending the post-session were reminded to credit their donations to the L. A. city school district account, said L, A. city school officials.
Requirements for being a donor are that he or she be 21 years old, or if between 18-21 have written consent from one of their parents. Married male minors may have consent of their wife while married female minors do not need consent releases.
Donors must- weigh at least 110 pounds and there must be an interval of 12 weeks between donations.
For the protection of donors an adequate examination, including temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and hemoglobin determination, is given prior to donation.
Mary Barrett, chairman of the American Red Cross chapter on campus, is working with drive chairman Clements and Red Cross officials to insure success of the drive.
Children in Indonesia have it all over children in America in many ways, Dr. Lester F. Beck, psychologist and head of the cinema department at SC, believes. They live a happier, more relaxed life, and are not caught up in the frustrations and conflicts that affect American children, observed Dr. IJeck, who has just -returned from four months in the new republic formed Of Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Dali and neighbor, ing island groups.
“I never saw, a child in Indonesia that stuttered or bit its nails,” the SC psychologist said. “Parents love their children equally and are not ashamed to show it. You’ll see fathers out on bicycles with tiny children riding on the handlebars and others hanging on behind.
“Children are not told when they go out that they must ‘be a good boy or girl.* Their parents expect them to be well behaved. “Parents don’t worry whether a child gets his daily vitamins or the proper amount of sleep every day. If a child wants to stay up late with his family at a puppet show he can.
“Of course money ¡6 important in the struggle for existence but it is not permitted to become the goal in life.”
The SC professor W’ent to Indonesia with a group of 19 men, leaders in their nation’s government motion picture, radio, and printing industries, who had been students at SC for four months.
The Indonesians were sent to
SC by their Ministry of Information and the United States Department of State to study modern methods of production in these three fields of communica-ion. Dr. Beck accompanied them home and was to have returned with another group of students, but a sudden change in the government in Indonesia delayed the departure of the second class, which is now due here in September.
“D e m o cracy is discussed everywhere in Indonesia,” Dr. Beck said, “bat there are so many political parties that sometimes budgets just don’t get approved or appropriations passed.
‘.‘English is the second language of the land and an American can travel anywhere without knowing Indonesian.
“Sumatra is much like California in climate and appearance. Java is densely populated. Borneo is largely undeveloped, and Hall is a cultural curio shop.”
Indonesia formerly was the Netherlands East Indies. It consists of 3000 islands spreading from the Pacific coast out into the Atlantic.
Eighty million persons live in Indonesia. They proclaimed a republic on Aug 17, 1945, aiul The Hague recognized the new government on Dec. 27, 1949. Indonesia bad been under Dutch rule since 1591.
Indonesia became the 60th member of the United Nations in September, 1950.
All Universities Bound by Same Friendly Spirit * ' * ¥ ¥ -¥■ * *
Iranian Newspaperman Visits SC
Although they are thousands of miles apart, universities in the United States and Iran have the same friendly spirit, said Hamid Rahnema, Iranian newspaperman who visited at SC last fall while on a 90-day tour of the U. S.
“I was surprised to notice that a play which was recently produced in Iran, ‘An Inspector Calls,’ was also put oil at SC recently,” he said.
“Of course in Iran J. B. Priestley’s play was translated into Persian,” he added.
Although Mils shows the two countries are close together in certain areas of entertainment, Rahnema deplored the fact tluit Iranian audiences have to be content with 20-year-old films which have lead to cops, and-robber impression of the U. S. in Iran.
“Our people do not have a true concept of this country because they are getting outdated films. Russia, on the other hand, is sending top-flight films by plane to Iran for up-to-date consumption. 1 hope that this will be rem-
edied as soon as possible,” he said.
While on campus the editor of Iran, a daily newspaper in that country, also talked with Roxy I.. French, retiring director of the School of Journalism; Dr. James Butler, head of the drama department; and Ross N. Berkes, acting director of the School of Internation Relations.
The major areas of interest on campus wore methods and facilities used in journalism, the possibility of exchanging top-notch dramatic plays, and getting the U. S. side of the international questions.
Rahnema was surprised to find that there were 20 Iranian students enrolled at SC and several hundred other foreign students.
When questioned about the educational system in his homeland, Rahnema said that there were four universities, all state operated as there is no private educational institutions in Iran. Although 95 per cent of their personnel is trained in Europe, teachers are starting to be .turn-
ed out by the four universities for the educational system.
“Students have to take state examinations to qualify for higher education, but for those who pass the cost is very low,” he said.
While in Los Angeles he visited newspapoxtj, movie studios, universities, and talked with Iranians who are living in the U.S. His trip is being sponsored by the U.S. State Department and has already included the Southern stated. He is now touring through San Francisco, Salt Lake, Detroit, and on to New York. .
Knluiema’s background includes travels through Syria, Lebanon, Kgypt, Italy, Switzerland, France, (jrcut Britain and Germany. He went two year* at the University of Beirut and received his M.A. in languages and literature from the University of Tehran in 1948.
While editor of the Iran since 1944, he was one of the founders and charter members of the Press Association of Iran and served as its vice-president.
