Acacians Will Dedicate Tree Today at 12
Commemorating yesterday’s Arbor Day and the seventh anniversary of SC's Acacia Fraternity, the Acacians will dedicate an Acacia tree to SC today at noon at Founders Hall, across from th e Trojan Column.
This year marks Acacia’s Golden Anniversary.
The fraternity’s last tree was dedicated to the memory of Elisabeth S. von KleinSmid in 1947.
SC Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid, together with Vice President John Fields, plan to be on hand to accept the tree for the university.
Participating in the ceremonies from the SC Acacia chapter will be President George Hartman, Harvey Amos, chapter adviser and a charter member of the local chapter, and other alumni.
The tree’s plaque will read:
“Dedicated to the University of Southern California, recognizing its progress in civic betterment, bv Acacia Fraternity, March 7, 1954.
The Acacia Fraternity also was instrumental in bringing the Trojan Column to SC last year.
ommittee Chairmen Named o Head Spring Blood Drive
Five committee chairmen have ?n appointed to spearhead the |pring blood drive, Mary Barrett, announcing plans for the se-hester activities, said Friday.
‘It’s the largest drive we have Iver attempted,” Miss Barrett, \cd Cross campus chairman, saiij, md with everyone's help we Inow it will be our most success-one.”
Don Daves, Bill Houser, and Barrett are in charge of rally scheduled for Mar. 24. committee will attempt to either Danny Kaye or and Lewis for the kick-affair.
lovie Scheduled
Woody Toodpeck-movie cartoon will be included in this rally,” sa^d. This featurette has been in movie houses through-e US.
Nelson was named sign-commlttee chairman. This will be responsible for the i-up booths to be located on campus. Pledge cards will be ible there.
Lenore Monosson, as speakers committee chairman, will draft orators to speak at night classes, mothers’ clubs, living groups, and other organizations,” Miss Barrett said.

Red Cross chairman
Publicity chairman is Donna Meadors. The set-up committee is headed by Mary Lyn Friendson. This group’s function is to act as host to donors during the drive, Miss Barrett explained.
SC has been challenged by UCLA to reach or top its blood quota. The cross-town school is conducting its drive simultaneously with SC.
“This competition should prove almost as strong as' the annual football game between the two rivals,” Miss Barrett said.
In turn, both Los Angeles universities are being invited to better the University of Michigan's record total of 3000 pints collected last semester. In the challenging letter, the Michigan school inferred that both schools combined could net top that mark.
“Trojans topped their fall semester drive quota of 900 pints by 450,” Miss Barrett said. A blood thermometer will be placed in front of the Student Union building to keep students and faculty posted of the progress.
Building Forecast Realized
by Fred Burgh
“What will SC 'be like in 1954?”
This question was asked Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid 10 years ago when he was president of the university.
In an article in the Daily Trojan on July 31, 1944, the Chancellor’s vision of the growth and progress of the university wras revealed in the predictions which he made.
In 1944, Chancellor von KleinSmid stated that “10 new buildings must be added during the next 10 years.” This need has been fulfilled by the following structures built on the campus since the end of the war:
Founder’s Hall, Commons, Student Health Center, School of Dentistry Building, Elisabeth von KleinSmid Memorial Hall, University Hall, Quinn wing of the Fine Arts Building, NROTC armory, David X. Marks Dormitory, YWCA, and the organic chemistry wing of the Science Building.
New Facility A new off-campus facility is the School of Medicine’s research building near the Los Angeles County General Hospital.
In addition to these new buildings, the old Phelps Terkel store has been remodeled for use by the department of collection of the University Business Office.
The article said that 1954 would see “an enlarged Row, as wall as many more dormitories, for campus residential facilities for students are to be multiplied 10 times in scope and number.”
New Dorms The three new dormitories— EVK, University Hall, and Marks —have satisfied this prediction, but there is still need for an additional men’s dormitory offering room and board, according to Mrs. Pearl B. Arnold, housing director.
“Although housing facilities for single students are fairly well taken care of, there is a big housing need now for apartments to house married students and their families,” Mrs. Arnold said.
Expansion of the campus was another hope of Chancellor von KleinSmid in 1944. In the 20 years previous, the campus had grown from 8 to 50 acres, and according to the article, the ultimate goal was to be “100 acres, which will take in the entire area bounded by Figueroa and McClin-tock Streets on the east and west and Jefferson Street and Exposition Boulevard on the north and south.”
In 1944, Chancellor von KleinSmid expressed these hopes for s future:
“Addition of faculty leaders of world note in 10 selected fields; enrichment of facilities of at least 10 of the leading scientific departments; emanation of at least 10 outstanding and authoritative books from within the walls of Troy; . . . advancement of at least 10 men and women who will prove to be leaders in world thought and activity; addition of at least 10 great American paintings; development of the library
to a size and quality wherein it
may become the mecca and fountain of knowledge for much of the educational and scientific world.”
“My hopes of 10 years ago have almost all been fulfilled far beyond my original expectations,” the Chancellor said when interviewed this week.
NATION'S BEST — That's the impressive title won by OSC's Vlastelica, ranked as the nation's top collegiate hook shot. And the 6ft. 5in. center proved it Saturday night, dumping in a quick 13-points to pace OSC's 65-47 win over SC.

Business Executives Hear Marketing Studies
Intensive studies of local and national marketing conditions are currently being presented to a limited number of top management executives in a new series of afternoon seminars which began Mar. 1, the department of marketing announced.
The seven seminars are the first of their kind to be presented in the west, according to Dean Lawrence C. Lockley of the School of Commerce. Each seminar is conducted by faculty members who are specialists in their field. The class is limited to 44 members.
Meeting each Monday at 4 p.m. in Bridge Hall, the sessions will
Beardless Ones Begin Sign-ups To Grow One
Fuzzy - cheeked engineering students can skip this one.
But for once-or-twice-a-day shavers this is a must.
At any rate, registration of entries in the beard contest, which engineers are promoting as part of the annual Engineering Week, will be held today through Wednesday.
A booth will be set up outside the school’s main building where the men will show their well-shaved faces before putting their razors in mothballs.
* Clean-shave tickets may be purchased to excuse students from growing whiskers. But those who do neither are subject to an appearance before the Kangaroo Court, which will be in session some time during the Week.
A jail, probably mounted on the back of a truck, will be used for offenders, according to Dick Movich, chairman for Engineering Week.
During an assembly at noon, Friday, Mar. 19. the beards will be judged and a beaver trophy presented the winner.
continue until 8:30 p.m. with an interval for dinner. Current problems in local and national business trends as they are influenced by advertising, sales, and marketing are being studied.
The remaining seminars will include studies of market research and techniques for predicting accuracy of surveys, by Dr. Franklin W. Gilchrist. Subjects of population growth in local and national markets in relation to the consumption of goods will be presented by Dr. Richard R. Mead. Another seminar will stress forecasting of sales through effective control, to be given by Dr. Charles Whitlo.
Advertising and proper timing in conjunction with effective sales will be given by Roger W. Johnson with new methods of maintaining a strong sales department to be discussed by Dr. J. George Robinson. Dean Lock-ley’s concluding seminar will be for sales executives on the direction of sales, problems of control and marketing objectives.
Trojans Capture Opener, 53-48; Drop 65-47 Came
by Don Simonian
It was a Cinderella role for Trojan cagers Friday night but the golden victory slipper fit on another “foot”—size 15^2
to be exact—in Saturday’s tussle.
Which is a round-about way of saying that Coach Forrest Twogood’s hustling basketballers and Slats Gill’s towering
Oregon State Beavers again take to the hardwood in the Long Beach City College Gymnasium tonight for the third and deciding game for the Pacific Coast Conference Championship.
The all-important game—with the w'inner gaining a berth to NCAA Regional Eight playoffs in Corvallis—will get underway at 8:30 p.m.
The oddsmakers should have fun with this final game. To wit: whose favored?
The highly-touted Beavers looked anything but impressive Friday night as they dropped a 53-48 thriller to the Trojans. In a quick reversal of form, however, the Beavers looked more like national title contenders in Saturday’s rematch as they thoroughly trimmed the Trojans, 65-47, for the latter's first defeat in six games.
Halbrook Stars The difference? Undoubtedly the play of one Wade Halbrook.
The 7ft. 3in. giant was ‘brought down to 6ize” (figuratively speaking) in Friday’s opener. In one of his poorest scoring performances of the year, the towering Swede could hit for only 25 per cent of his shots or 10 points. His backboard and floor play was little better. Hounded by two and sometimes three Trojans during the entire game, Halibrook was thoroughly bottled up.
But, Saturday was a different story. Halbrook—who, this reporter swears, wears canoes for shoes —turned in one of the weekend’s top performances. Although his scoring record was little better than the night before, hitting for 12, he was a terror on defense.
In addition to his sensational backboard play, Halbrook contin-uely hampered Trojan play with his octopus-like talents.
Timely Baskets And while those 12 points fail to impress when conmpared with the two-digit performances recorded by 'three Beaver teammates, Halbrook’s buckets were timely ones. Midway in the first period, he put the Beavers in front, 5-4; early in the second stanza, 18-16; and then added to OSC’s runaway performance to make it 21-18 a few seconds later.
A telling blow was also dealt by a trio of Beaver guards. Hitting for only 2-of-21 from far-out
First Lecture To Be Given About USSR
An authority on the Russian way of life, Dr. Fritz Sternberg, will speak for the next three Wednesdays on the general topic of the Soviet Union, in 129 FH from 1:15 to 3:05 p.m.
Dr. Sternberg, a noted author, this week lectures on, “The Soviet Union: Its Strengths and Weaknesses.”
His latest book, “The End of a Revolution,” is one of the first and more important authoritative discussions on the perversion of the Soviet Revolution.
The series of three lectures by Dr. Sternberg includes “Soviet Policy in Europe and Asia,” delivered Mar. 17, and “American Policy vis a vis the Soviet Union,,” delivered Mar. 24.
All lectures are being sponsored by the School of International Regions.
Rooters' Tickets
Seven-hundred and fifty rooters’ tickets for tonight’s PCC cage decider between SC and OSC went on sale at 9 a.m. this morning at the University ticket office, second floor, Student Union.
The rooters’ tickets, priced at $1 each, will be sold on a “first come, first serve” basis, according to John Morley, ticket manager.
Each activity book holder, regardless of book number, is entitled to buy one rooters’ ticket.
A limited number of general admission tickets, priced at $(2.50 each, is also available.
Friday night, Guards Bill Toole, Johnny Jarboe, and Reggie Halli-gan came to life Saturday for a 9-of-22 total mark and 31 points.
Second Period The game’s outcome was actually decided in the second period. Entering the quarter with a four-point deficit, 9-13, the Beavers outscored the Trojans 20-6 in ten minutes of action to lead at half-time—29-19. Late in the third period, the Trojans closed the gap to seven points—but then the roof really fell in.
Leaving the game with four fouls at this time, Halbrook was repleced by Tony Vlastelica (pronounced Vlastelica). The 6ft. Sin. center, rated as the best hook artist in the country, lived up to his advance billing while averag ing a point-a-minute in his 13-minute stint.
Friday’s Game As for Friday’s tilt, it seemed that the Trojans had just picked up where they left-off following double wins over Cal and UCLA. Hitting on better than 40 per cent of their shots for the third
straight game, the Trojans completely dominated the game—both offensively and defensively.
Despite Troy’s superiority, however, the game was no pushover.

Trojan Chest Help Needed
Two hundred and fifty students are needed to collect money in classrooms during the Trojan Chest Drive Mar. 29-Apr. 2.
Lenore Monosson, chairman of classroom collections, said only 100 people have signed up for the job.
Students wishing to help can sign a chart in front of 215 SU, listing the times they can collect.
Organizations that have already volunteered to collect are Spurs, Chimes, Amazons, Squires, Knights, and Alpha Phi Omega. Other groups wanting to support the project should call Miss Monosson at the AEPhi house, Richmond 88918.
