725 Pints Of Blood Collected
Bruins Outdo Troy With Donation of 913 Pints for Week
Friday’s donaation of 178 pints of blood, the highest daily total of the week, brought the grand total to 725 pints as the spring Red Cross Blood Drive ended its five days of collections on campus.
The drive will continue until Apr. 26 at the Red Cross Blood Center, 1130 South Vermont Avenue, from 12 noon to 9 p.m.
Students or faculty who give blood at the center should remember to credit SC, in order to bring the total as close to the 1200-pint-quota as possible.
Bruins Are Ahead
In UCLA’s drive, Friday’s collection of 154 pints gave the Bruins a total of 913 pints for the week.
The competition for tfi«* new two foot Red Cross ROTC trophy donated by Ballard’s is close with the NROTC giving a total of 115 pints, and fhe AFROTC, 103 pints. Final results are not available yet because the trophy is awarded on a percentage basis.
ROTC contributions were low in this drive because through a confusion in dates, shots for both groups were scheduled the same week as the blood drive.
Row Results Unavailable
Leading fraternities are Theta Chi, Delta Tau Delta, Kappa Sigma, Phi Gamma Delta, * and Tau Kappa Epsilon. Kappa Kappa Gamma and Gamma Phi Beta are ahead in the sorority race.
Results for the Row competition will be available after Apr. 26, when the drive closes.
The Red Cross trophies are awarded annually to the ROTC group, fraternity, and sorority with the highest percentage of members donating.
★ ★ ★ Chairman Calls Drive Success
, “As far as numbers go we fell below our quota, but we can still be proud of donating 725 pints of blood.
In my opirnon, and that of all those who worked on the Drive, it was a success. Everyone who participated is to be congratulated.
I want to express my appreciation, as well as that of the Red Cross and the Drive .workers, to all who cooperated—independents, fraternities, sororities, and the administration.

Spring Blood Drive Chairman

Best Editorial Award Given To SC Junior
Daily Trojan Reporter Ruth Ross Saturday received the Ruth Apperson Eaker Editorial Award for the “Mass Slaughter” traffic safety editorial she wrote during the fall semester.
The award was made during the 29th Annual Newspaper Day held on campus w’hich more than 400 high school and junior college students attended.
Miss Ross, who said in her editorial that “the crime of hitting a small child with an auto is worse than any other kind of murder,” was presented the award by Lt. Gen. Ira C. Eaker, an SC journalism graduate in 1935.
In her winning editorial Miss Ross urged motorists to realize their responsibilities while driving in traffic congested school areas, “because the child is completely at the mercy of the automobile.”
Acting on a suggestion by DT Editor Hank Alcouloumre that she investigate the traffic problem at elementary schools near SC, Miss Ross contacted the Los Angeles Board of Education for enrollment statistics, then wove the facts into her editorial.
She found that “more than 155,000 children attend elemc .-tary schools within a radius of 10 miles of SC.”
Miss Ross, a junior, came to SC last September after two years at Lo6 Angeles City College.
goal by $479.
“We feel assured of making our $6000 chest goal. Money is still coming in and will be for some time. We’ve still to collect money from the Varsity Show and today’s pie-throw,” said Chest Chairman Jim Barber.
Polls 2300 Vote*
Carpenter, who walked away with some $300 in prizes and Miss Reynolds as his date for the evening. closed the ballot boxes with approximately 2300 votes.
Don Daves trailed with about 1639 votes, some 700 behind “Mr. Trojanality.” Bill Van Alstyne came in third with 679 votes, according to Ed Wilkinson, Mr. T chairman.
Wilkinson reported the exact number of ballots would be tallied in a “day or so.”
Funds Still to Count
Trojan Chest collections Friday night were classroom collections, $2000; Trojanality, $1679; Sororities, $340; fraternities, $75.60; and special events, $157.50.
At least a dozen other events and sources were still to be counted.
MGM’s Miss Reynolds, who presented the three winners’ trophies at the ball, was Carpenter’s date at Frank Sennes’ Parisian-like Moulin Rouge.
After Six Prizes
After Six, designers of formal evening wear, incorporated their annual “Mr. Formal” contest into the Trojanality competition and presented Carpenter with more than $100 worth of formal clothing and accessories.
After Six prizes included a white dinner jacket with midnight-blue trousers, cummerbund, tie, dress shirt, cufflinks, studs, Ronson lighter, Kaywoodie formal pipe, and a chance to compete in the national “Mr. Formal” contest.
Other First Prizes
Other leading first place prizes were $15 worth of records from Donn’s Record Shop, the 24-inch winning trophy from Tuxedo Center, a pair of white bucks from Silverwood’s, a $20 sweater from Desmonds, and a flight over Los Angeles with the Trojan Flying Club.

CONSERVATIVES WEIGHING WELSH?
by The Watchbird
Campus rumors boiled Friday on the possibility of the newly-formed Student Conservative Party backing Basketball Captain Dick Welsh for the ASSC presidential candidacy.
Political observers turned to the Conservatives since Trojans for Representative Government will probably nominate Don Daves for the office.
Two, other powerful figures,
Bill Van Alstyne and Jerry Blank inship, senators-at-large, are noisily beating their election drums and professing to be running independently of party support.
Rumor has it, however, that Conservatives could easily back either man because both come from houses that were influential in the so-called dissolved TNE, secret founder of Conservative.
So Conservative Party members may resort to old TNE tactics—nominating a popular athlete who could carry votes on his own weight.
Just such a hero could be Dick Welsh. And if you put any stock in rumor, Welsh just may doff his basketball shorts and join the Presidential Line.
Up until now, Conservatives were believed to back Blankinship.
Students for this idea thought the party may nominate him because it is “built basically on the ruins of the TNE faction, the one Blankinship was mixed up with.
But it’s still early. And candidates will shuffle and reshuffle.
But it’s not likely that Conservatives will back Blankinship, since he pushed the idea, “I’m running independently with no thought of playing favorites.”
Van Alstyne is naive, according to some politicians, to run without party bqpking, though he is

one senator who is confident of winning on his own.
Kappa Sigma Welsh (a TRG J house) wouldn’t set any precedent by taking up with the Conservatives. This is because ASSC President Warren Clendening, another Kappa Sig, accepted All-U (TNE front” party last year) support with no strings.
Clendening’s predecessor, Wendell Casey, also blew the party and bowed to All-U backing.
