Today is the final day for Junior Class council members to pay their dues of $2 or face being ousted from the group, it was announced by Rodger Dar-bonne, council president. Members can pay dues at today’s 3 p.m. meeting in 226 FH.
Aside from the matter of urgency to pay dues, Darbonne reminded junior council members to back the 1953 Fall Red Cross Blood Drive, noting that the council has challenged all other class councils in the drive.
He urged members to appear at the Commons basement to donate a pint of blood even if they haven’t made a previous appointment, saying that there is still available time to receive new donors.
In last week's Junior Council meeting, Dick Weis and Bill McGillivrav were appointed co-chairmen of the class table committee.
The committee was organized to investigate the possibilities of establishing a class table or bench, on which all members of the class of ’55 could carve their name. Darbonne expressed hope that the establishment of such a bench could be foUowed as a tradition by other classes.
Kirk Dickens was appointed to look into possibilities for a joint council sponsorship of an All-U social affair after the Notre Dame football game.

FREE OF CHARGE
Diabetes Blood Tests Offered
Free blood tests for diabetes will be offered to all students, faculty members, and employees of SC at the Student Health Center this wek in conjunction with Diabetes Prevention Week. Tests are co-sponsored by the American and Los Angeles Diabetes Associations.
Dr. Paul O. Greeley, president of the Los Angeles Diabetes Association and Director of the Student Health Center will manage the SC tests.
Early Detection Helps
Dr. Greeley said that early detection of the disease aids tremendously in its cure and eliminates the necessity of the expensive and bothersome daily injections of insulin, which must be administered when the disease is advanced.
“Diabetes is hereditary to some degree,” Greeley said, “and occurs most frequently with people in whose family tree it has appeared before.”
He advised all students and especially those in whose families diabetes has occurred, to take the test.
“Four of the main symptoms of diabetes are excessive thirst, loss of weight, infections that will not
heal and excessive urination,” Greeley said.
To determine whether the tests
DR. MARCUSE S VIEWS
Pragmatism Growth Discussed at Forum
Dr. Ludwig Marcuse, professor oi- German and philosophy, described German pragmatism and discusser* various aspects of its wnent at yesterday's final lecture of the semi-annual philosophy forum series in Bowne Hall.
He said that while traveling in Germany last year he met with two types of anti-American arguments.
Dr. Marcuse pointed out there •re ninf distinct meanings of pragmatism given in our Ameri-» can dictionaries. He stated the history of pragmatism is the desire for the perfect actions of a people
Pragmatism Start
Pragmatism in the United States started in the early 1870’s In Boston among metaphysicians. In Germany and France, these national pragmatic tendencies, as in America, had a common father, he claims.
Charles Darwin's “Origin of the Species" inspired their thinking, he said. Pragmatism is uni-
versal he believes and not delusively American.
William James wrote much ! about U.S. pragmatism in his book, as did George Simmel in Germany, who was the greatest propagandist for American pragmatism, Dr. Marcuse said. He also pointed oue the English author William Schiller defended American pragmatism in a magazine article.
Simmel's Views
Simmel tried to show pragmatism to be an independent order,
; which Dr. Marcuse criticizes by saying this would represent an absolute truth, but he contends
Simmel helped advance some important new concepts of pragma-
' tism.
He said German philosophy puts up an ugly absolute truth, and William James named these truths "fictions.” James believed that no important question can i be answered according to writings
in his book. In it he said that what is unimportant is what is, and what is important is what
shall be, Dr. Marcuse explained.
Dr. Marcuse said the intellect came into being as the servant of the will, but later became independent.
Pragmatism Success
Dr. Marcuse believes pragmatism didn’t succeed too well in Germany because of the deep rooted attachment to theoretical idealism. This caused pragmatism to be treated with great contempt in philosophical and non-philo-sophical circles, he stated. He described this feelihg by telling how a German philosopher formulated it.
“The philosopher felt that German philosophy put up, consciously, an ugly dummy called pragmatism and knocked it down with a tremendous display of logic and rumbling noise.” he said.
Book on Pragmatism
One of the best known books written in the 20th century on
are negative or positive, the Health Center utilizes a “Hewson Clinitron.” The complex machine is capable of screening 120 samples of blood an hour. SC is the only university in *he country possessing such a machine and its use has made SC one of the Southland’s leading institutions in the research and control of diabetes.
“In 1950 all incoming students were subjected to the diabetes test,” Greeley said, “and .64 per cent were lound to be affected. The prevalence for all age groups is about 2 per cent,” he continued. “Last year’s tests of 150 students showed 8 per cent to have the disease.”
Greeley 6aid that 25 students took the test yesterday, the first day of the current campaign.
the subject, quotes from Neitz-sche; who was a philogist, Dr. Mareuse said.
He believes “truth is general and only useful for the conservation of mankind, but besides this, there is absolute truth.”
He feels truth is identical with usefulness, but humans should be changed rather than truth.
In summing up, Dr. Marcuse said pragmatic tendencies are found throughout the whole history of German philosophy, and practical reason never forgets it. He said reason frees itself from the will and begins independently. This is true of the artist, as well as the philosopher.
Vocabulary of Invective He said philosophical expressions are partly identical with the vocabulary of invectives. He gave as examples, “materialism,” ‘‘idealism,” and “progressive education.” “While Europe speaks against America, Americans speak against Americans,” he, said.	1

Joe Carr, Alex Cooper Also to Appear on Card
“Johnny Ray has joined the list of big-name performers who will be on hand at the pre-UCLA game rally Friday noon in Bovard Auditorium,” Rally Chairman Jim Lucostic
said last night.
The weep-famed vocalist joins Joe “Fingers” Carr and disc jockey Alex Cooper in attending what Lucostic says should be the biggest rally of the year. “Whether the emo-
tional singer can produce the kind of emotion desired at a college football rally remains to be seen,” Lucostic said, “but his presence should help to jam what already threatens to be a full house.”
The talented vocalist, whose wails have lifted him to the top of the recording field, agreed yesterday to lend his services to the SC war effort—war against the Westwood clan, that is.
Slightly-hard-of-hearing, the vocal star skyrocketed to fame on the tear-jerking lyrics of his own compositions, “The Little White Cloud That Cried” and “Cry.” Lucostic said he hoped any tears shed this weekend by SC students would be shed only at the rally and that hankies on the SC side of the Coliseum Saturday would be completely dry.
Tommy Walker and nis Trojan Band will also be on hand at the rally to provide a spirited musical for the Trojan team, which faces its toughest foe of the season the following day.
Coach Jess Hill and his Trcjan team will be introduced to the throng of rooters expected to fill Bovard before the traditional cross-town battle.
The Victory Bell and a possible Rose Bowl bid (if the Bruins should win) will be the victor’s spoils.

Blood Donors
Top One-Day Trojan Mark
Trojans—257 of them—donated blood yesterday in the Commons basement, according to Blood Drive officials Mary Barrett and Sharon Swanton.
This was vthe highest number to donate in any one day for an SC campaign, they said.
International students were especially prominent in the lineup of donors, according to Miss Barrett.
The AROTC appeared in greater numbers than any campus organization.
Greeks Interested
Fraternities showed up in groups, rather than singly, indi- ! eating an increase in interest by | the Greek groups.
Miss Swanton said that 279 donors showed up at the Commons basement center, with only 22 students necessitating rejection.
This added to the hope of fulfilling the quota of 900 pints, which was dimmed by Monday’s disappointment \^Jien 70 of the 250 students slgned-up did not appear.
Over 50 men and women showed up yesterday who had not even made appointments.
Twelve Xu rses
There are 12 nurses and one doctor working in the Center, with one nurse serving every two beds.
A shuttle service is being run by the Squires between the Commons and the public blood center, in case of overflow.
Blood donations will continue to be received today and tomorrow in the Commons basement from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Students who have not made appointments may still do so at a booth near the Commons.
“Students are requested to keep their appointments to the minute if possible, since the work schedule is planned to take approximately 15 donors every 20 minutes,” Miss Swanton said.
UCLA Saturday.
Tommy Jones and his Dixieland Band will provide the music lor the two hour dance which will take place between Bovard Auditorium and Founder’s Hall. A portable dance floor will be set up on the lawn.
The ASSC social committee is working in conjunction with the rally committee to establish what they hope will become an SC tradition—the Trojan Hop.
Rootbeer and pretzels, supplied by Spurs and Troeds. will be served throughout the afternoon. Troeds will also decorate the area between the two buildings for the dance.
Team Send-off
Upon the conclusion of the Trojan Hop, Tommy Walker and his Band will lead rooters to the P.E. Building where they will give the team its final send-off with cheers and songs led by Yell King Bob Maners and his yell-leader crew. From the P.E. Building the team will board busses for a local hotel where they will remain until game time Saturday.
Jim McGregor and Rudy Fritsch are co-chairmen of the Trojan Hop and are working in conjunction with Bobette Bentley. ASSC vice-president, and Jim Lucostic, rally chairman.
Idea Came Earlier
The “why-didn’t-I-think-of-it-sooner” idea for a combination rally-dance was formulated earlier in the semester by the ASSC social committee. They began work on the idea with the rally committee and immediately it caught on.
the students won’t let the team down by not attending the Trojan Hop, ’ said ASSC vice-president Bobette Bentley.
Barbara Goode, AWS vice-president said, ‘It’s a great idea for improving spirit and I’m sure that ail loyal Trojans will be there.” Student’s Duty Bud Sealts, Trojan Hop committee member said. “It's the duty of the student body to support this fine team and I can think of no better way to begin than by attending the Trojan Hop.”*
“Two rallies and a dance on one afternoon should put anyone in a high-spirited mood, and then there's the team send-off at 5. Let’s show the team we're behind them 100 per cent,” said Jim McGregor.
Jim Lucostic said that poor George Tirebiter would be the only good Trojan not on hand for the festivities Friday unless new information of his whereabouts since the scandalous dognapping incident of last Thursday night is uncovered.

“Opportunities in Radio and TV Advertising” will be the topic discussed by leading Los Angeles radio and TV men at a program sponsored by Alpha Delta Sigma, professional advertising fraternity, tomorrow evening at 7:30 at the YWCA.
