Trojan Elected President of Crime Society
Ray Galvin, graduate student in police administration at SC and John P. Kenney, associate prolessor of Public Administration participated in the annual meeting of the Society for the Advancement of Criminology at Fresno at which Kenney was elected the president of the coming year.
The society is a national organization of professors in the field oi law enforcement and correctional administration and seeks to find solutions to problems of management among other things. In one of the sessions Dr. James M. Reinhardt, professor at the University of Nebraska gave a speech on the psychographology in handwriting analysis.
Handwriting Study It involves the combining of personality study with the lines in the script of the person being examined.
Through the use of this method an innocent person was absolved of writing fraudulent letters and the blame was pinned on the responsible person.
Script Characteristics People in the same fields have n tendency to have the same characteristics in handwriting, for example, those in engineering have a precise type of script while philosophy majors have a wandering type, according to Reinhardt's lecture.
Gahin spoke on the need of more applied research in the police field. The survey techniques now used are not solving the problems because they do not effectively point up the faults and improvements needed in the police system.
Marcel Frym, lecturer of public administration, was elected member-at-large of the board of directors.

SEVEN SONATAS
Szigeti Sets Two More Appearances
Seven sonatas vigorously sketch the life oi Joseph Szigeti, world renowned violinist, in his two remaining concerts on Wednesday and Sunday at 8:30 p.m. in Hancock Auditorium.
Bv JIM BYLIN
While the students of SC en-| joyed their holiday vacations, 21 homes w-ere silently and swiftly
j transported on campus with only I a few individuals noticing the i mass movement.
The reason for this was be-| cause the houses were really f one-quarter inch scale models of ! tract homes completed by second vear architectural students.
The model homes, assigned by Professor Clayton M. Baldwin for his Architectural Designing class, will be on display in 103 HH until Tuesday, Jan. 15.
The second-y ear students, given five weeks to work on the project, had to draw up plans Szigeti w ill he joined bv Cailo ancj maj<e sca]e models of homes
Bussotti, Italian pianist, in per-iorming the series of sonatas, some oi which were dedicated to him.
All seven sonatas were premiered by Szigeti during the past 30 years. This particular cycle was performed last summer throughout Europe and earlier this month in New York.
Busoni’s Second
Wednesday he will play Busoni's Second (with its variations on a Bach Chorale), Debussy’s Second and Bartok's Second.
Scheduled for Sunday are Pro-kofieff's Violin Solo Sonata, Charles Ives' Fourth. Honegger’s First and Ravel’s only work in this form, with its celebrated “blues” episode.
Szigeti's musical career began when he was IT through friendship with composer Ferrucio Busoni. whose second sonata is! among those to be played in this series.
The violin that Szigot’ will play was created in 1701 by Petrus Guarnerius of Mantua and hears the handwritten label of its first owner. Count Baldeschi.
Seats Not Reserved
Bussotti, who has been playing in recitals throughout the world with Szigeti since 1950. was horn ! in Florence. Italy. He graduated I at the age of 13 from the Luigi I Cherubine Conservatory and made his debut the following j vear in Turin as the soloist with I the Symphony Orchestra oi j Radio Italy.
SC students may buy tickets for the separate performances at *2 each. Seats are not reserved
with landscaping and designed for a tract development.
The architectural students began the project by making pre liminary drafts. In order to get a concept of space and a sense of third dimension, they were required to make the scale models Final drawings of a floor plan and two elevations were then completed.
Requirements for the problem included it being located on a lot 92x64 feet with a southwest prevailing wind. The house area had to be 1300 square feet.
It had to be built with a garage and a combined dining area and living quarters which would allow7 television to be watched
while dining. This new family room trend was carried on with a centrally located kitchen for convenience and also giving a view of the children's playing area.
The frame structure, complete with three bedrooms and one and a half baths, was not to exceed S16.000. To give more opportunities for originality by the students, no room dimensions were provided by Prof. Baldwin.

campus, theater goers atcly think of the huge stage and colorful settings of Bovard productions.
Only a handful of devoted theater lovers and drama majors know the location of the Stop Gap Theater.
This intimate little stage, which is shrouded in heavy black curtains, is housed in an unimposing brick building that once served the university as a storeroom at the corner of Exposition Blvd. and Hoover St.
The make-shift theater got its strange name when it was moved in 1949 from the basement of the Old College Building to its present location in preparation for the construction of what is now Founders Hall.
“Stop-Gap”
Clara Barringer DeMille. the wife of the then drama department head, suggested that the storageroom be turned into a theater as a stop gap until a larger and finer stage could be constructed.
The name Stop Gap stuck and its stage has served since as a launching platform for many of
legitimate theater personalities.

Guests from Sky Stay for Dinner
IPSWICH, Mass — (UP) — The story about unexpected guests dropping in for dinner has taken on a new meaning for Roger Sturgis. A Navy helicopter. en route from Portsmouth Navy Yard to Weymouth for repairs, had to make a forced landing on Sturgis’ farm. The fliers staved for dinner.

Every five weeks a nevv series of three one-act plays is produced by members of the drama department. Students design and construct their own sets, manage their lighting problems and direct all the productions.
New Series
Beginning this Thursday evening at 8:30 a nevv series of three one-act dramas, under the direction of students Sam Casson, Paul Lion and Eric Ericson, will be presented at Stop Gap.
Stop Gap’s overwhelming success as an experimental project for teaching students the importance oi auuience awareness can be traced to tne efforts of Dr.
James If. Butler, head of the drama department. Dr. Butler took Stop Gap under his wing when he first came to SC in 1946.
Since that time more than 80 one-act plays, many of them written by SC students, have been produced on the 20x30 loot stage.
Seats 120
Howard Banks, lecturer in the drama department, explained that often theater goers must be turned away from productions, which are usually offered free on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:30, because the small building's 120 seating capacity is not adequate to accommodate them.
Among the strange props needed in past productions were a cat and a large turkey.
Wasn’t Housebroken
“We kept the turkey, which we used in our recent production of The Christmas Carol, on the Bovard stage for awhile, but later had to move it to more
cheerful surroundings. It spent
so much time in the dark, we were afraid we would have a neurotic bird on our hands before opening night,’' Banks said.
“As for the cat,” he said with a serious look on his face. “We had the misfortune of not finding out until the second night of the play in which it appeared that it was not house broken.”
Williams Group to Push 300 Queries

Members of the investigating committee, headed by Walt Williams and including Maryanne Hammatt. secretary; Stan Miller, Dardie Schaefer, David C. Henley, DT city editor: and Bill Forrest, president of the School of Library Science, have devoted more than 100 working hours to resolving the current library problem which has students up in arms.
Part of Programs
The 300-copy questionnaire was devised by committeemen as part of an overall program to find the answers to why service has been so poor in Doheny.
It will cover such subjects as attitudes of library personnel, waiting periods for books, reserve book time limits and study distractions.

ANATOMY LESSON-Rembrandts famous painting shows an artist-anatomist dissecting a cadaver in secret session with his pupils. In the past, graVe robbers supplied artists
and physicians with specimens for their studies. Today many persons bequest their bodies to colleges ^r scientific study.
By JAN EDWARDS
“There is a shortage of women's bodies in the country,” said Dr. Paul R. Patek of the School of Medicine, “however.’’ continued the professor, “we have more women at SC than we have men.”
Dr. Patek. head of the school's anatomy department was speaking of the anatomical specimens used for scientific study in the freshman medical anatomy classes where future physicians learn how the human body is put together by taking one apart.
Most U. S. medical colleges have cadavers assigned to them for dissection through the State. Unclaimed bodies of indigent persons who have not left a will and who have no known relatives are the source of the State’s supply.
Apparently, women are more concerned about making advance burial arrangements, so there is a shortage of women's bodies. When there are not enough women available for dissection, students are taught female anatomy by observing operations.
Decrease in Bodies
Dr. Patek explained that the acute shortage of corpses in this country, "is due to a decrease in number of indigents. Because the economy is at sui/i a high level,” he asserts, “fewer people die without funds available for burial.”
“Then there are social welfare measures and a great increase in burial insurance policies, also the government supplies burial for veterans and members in the armed services."

“Trojan Red Cross volunteers are active throughout the year lending a helping hind where one is needed.” Miss Darcey emphasized. The unit sponsors the annual blood drive at Troy, aids in disaster work, entertains at Veterans hospitals and homes for underpriv ileged children, and performs many other charitable works, she added.
SC members just completed 50 hogan kits for Navaho Indian children. The packages included dolls, primary reading books, paper, etc. Red Cross representatives from Troy spent the weekend counting pennies for Hungarian relief at the Vermont chapter house. Thousands of the copper discs rained down »n answer to Tennessee Ernie Ford's TV plea for Hungary. The Red Cross needed help to count the fund donated by Los Angc'es TV audiences.
