The goal of the drive was 700 pints, “which means it'll take ' about 900 signups to actually I reach it,” White declared.
As of Friday night, only 400 Trojans had signed up.
Publicity Not Enough “We had hoped that through the excellent publicity of theDT and the able assistance of the Greater University Committee the signups would be way in excess of what was needed,” White said.
The signup booth will be open today from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in front of the Student Union, but “they can come down to the donation area in the Methodist church and sign up anytime Tuesday through Thursday.” Women Outdo Men White asserted that the worn-

IFC, Panhellenic Create Joint Committee to Combat Problems
Last Thursday at the joint meeting of the Panhellenic Council and Interfraternity Council, a six-member liason committee was formed to co-ordinate the problems of both groups.
The committee, consisting of I^arry Sipes. Ken Von Rohr, Gary Slokum. Barbara Haase. Lorna Young and Mary Powell, will meet within two weeks to attempt alleviation of misunderstandings between the IFC and Panhellenic Council.
Also at the meeting was Captain Degenkolb. chief of the fire prevention division, who talked to the group about the “deplorable” conduct of the row toward the fire department.
Fire Gear Stolen
“I wish I could say I'm glad to be here, but frankly. I’m not. Some of the fraternity men on the row stole some equipment from a fire truck that was trying to put out your fire. It is a sad state of aft airs when people trying to help you are robbed.
“Why is it that SC is the only echool under the city fire department that we have trouble with?” he asked.
Dr. Robert Gordon said that,
This year has been very successful and I am pleased with the row in general.” Gordon said.
One official pleased with the row was Captain Swan of the university police, who revealed that he was satisfied with recent conduct.
“Unlike Captain Degenkolb. I

Tw o Sketches Per
In each issue a personality sketch is done on one of the students and one of the faculty, with the idea of bringing stu-dent-faculty relations much closer.
“Even UCLA has copied our idea,” Kenyon said with pride.
“One of our associate editors. Richard Pauley, took a copy of the The Trojan Bar over to Westwood and put it on the bulletin board in their Law School with a sign saying 'why don’t we have something like this.*”
Started Bruin Paper
“The paper drew so much attention that the Bruins started a paper of their own, something that we look to as being a result, of our own work,” Kenyon concluded.

During the program the Hungarian and his teammates played a match against the American team. After the match the team was interviewed and told of their experiences in Hungary and Australia and Nagy’s w-ish to attend SC next semester.
Taylor, who is in no way associated with the show, called up Stan Chambers of KTLA and donated the money on the spur of the moment.
Tour Veterans
Nagy and the rest of the Hungarian team returned f*his week from a nation-wide tour sponsored by the Sports Illustrated magazine.
Bob Finestone, SC telecommunications major and head of the one-man crusade to get $2500 for Nagy’s tuition, spoke to him after he came back from his trip. He told Finestone of the conditions back in Hungary.
He said that life there was miserable. Cigarettes cost $6 a pack, while shoes cost $50 a pair
Nagy, who is 23 years old, decided to come to SC when his teammates, Niklos Martin and
votes to Herman. The move sparked other candidates, and by five minutes to 3 seven other sororities had switched aboard the Nathan bandwagon.
Four minutes before the polls were to close Dennis Fagerhult. who had led the field through most of the contest, gave over his support to the Herman “camp.” In the time of one short hour Herman came from behind to almost unanimously sw'eep the balloting.
Frantic Changes George Baffa, Mike Navarro and George Kezas, who were judges for the event, were suddenly besieged with calls from sororities, frantically changing their votes to Herman in the waning minutes of the competition.
“In fact,” said Navarro, “only three houses didn't go over to Herman. Only Pi Phi, ADPi and Kappa Delta didn't join the crowd.”
Laird Willott. a candidate of Gamma Phi Beta, said that he was “all for seeing Herman | win.” After all, he pointed out. it “all goes to the same place.” Even the telecommunications department got in on the act. as Mike Daniel and Regine Leeds came up with a sizeable donation just before the contest ended.
Shy of Goal
But nevertheless, Mr. Trojanality — much like Trojan Chest , itself — was shy of the proposed goal. Only $538 came in. as compared to close to S1000 last year.
Herman, of course, was very pleased. Having been practically an SC landmark for a number of years, he could hardly speak i when a crowd of well-wishers gathered around him to give their congratulations after the decision was finally disclosed.
Herman, for his victory, will get clothing gifts from Phelps-Terkel. Silverwoods and the Tuxedo Center, two free dinners at Julie’s restaurant, gifts from Tam's. Donn’s record shop and the College Book Store, and a host of other prizes.
More Gifts In addition, he’ll get two free haircuts at Barney’s barber shop, two free lunches at Don's Burger Inn and gifts from Currie's Mile-Hi.
A trophy, given each year to the sponsoring sorority or dorm, will also go to Herman, since he had no real organized backing. AOPi. the first to change,

from SC apd people in Los An geles to enter the university.
"Contributions for Nagy’s tuition have been very small on campus this week.”
Finestone spoke to many people on campus, who were all sympathetic, but it didn’t help.
He will begin a Hungarian relief fund for Nagy on campus after the conclusion of the Trojan Chest campaign.
In the meantime, Nagy, who still has a family in Hungary, and his two friends Martin and Deutsch plan to work until they can come to SC next fall.

Herman Nathan, Mr. Trojanality of 1957, has been selling ice cream on the corner of University Ave. and 36th St. since 1950. And the tanned, rugged-faced gentleman is a living symbol of SCs famous friendliness.
Well known for his faded blue sailor hat and cheerful greeting, the newly named Mr. Trojanality is as well known as Tommy Trojan at the busy pedistrian intersection.
Mrs. Nathan, Herman’s equally personable wife, also sells ice cream and works about a block north of her husband next to Founders Hall. She is always seen in a big white apron behind her ice cream stand.
Trojan Fan*
The two campus figures, who spent 42 years in New Jersey, are now loyal Californians. But more than anything else they are ardent boosters of SC.
And as is evident by his overwhelming election as Mr. Trojanality. SC is an ardent booster of Mr. Nathan.
Their story of how they came to SC and what Troy means to them is a tribute to the people at SC who helped them find new happiness.
New’ Jerseyite*
In 1944. the Nathan’s were living in Newr Jersey and, like all I other Americans were extremely ; war conscious. W’hen the news j of their son's death came the I shock overwhelmed them. Their ! son was just 30 then and as I Anna Nathan will tell you proudly, “he was an officer.” and had been serving with the army in Po Valley.
Mrs. Nathan suffered extreme I shock and was put under a doctor's care for treatment. Herman had a heart attack. So they decided they had better move, or do anything for a change.
They wrote to SC. where Nathan had once worked, and asked permission to set up a licensed ice cream concession.
In April of 1950 they were selling ice cream in front of the cinema building.
“We grew up with Founder’s Hall,” said Herman who followed the progress of SCs mammoth class room building. This year will mark their seventh year at SC.
