UCLA Leads Blood Contest
A
f
I
With only the final day remaining in the Spring Red Cross Blood Drive, the Bruins are still jyay ahead in the race with 759 pints, while the Trojans have donated only 547.
“Because of SC’s lack of generosity in giving, Los Angeles will be short many pints of vitally needed blood,” Mary Barrett, Drive chairman, said.
Falling Behind “Many students have signed up but have not shown up, and consequently we are falling way behind in filling our 1200 pint quota.”
Yesterday, 127 pints were collected in the Commons basement where the Red Cross bloodmobile is stationed.
The AFROTC, with 86 pints donated, and NROTC, with 85, are in a close race
for the new two-foot trophy given by Ballard’s.
Row Apathetic
“Although the entire Theta Chi house is contributing blood, the response from the rest of the Row is way below that of the fall drive,” Miss Barrett said.
“Donations by faculty members and independent students are encouraging, but we must have much more participation if we are to fulfill our responsibilities to the Red Cross.”
Each month, the Los Angeles Blood Center supplies 10,000 pints to local hospitals and physicians requesting blood.
It is an advantage to give blood because SC is a member of the Red Cross Group Deposit Plan, which means that students,
faculty members, employees, and their Immediate families may draw blood from the Red Cross Blood Bank. Withdrawals are charged against the SC group deposit.
Simple and Painless
Giving blood is safe, simple, and painless. Before donating, a person is examined by a physician. Professionally trained registered nurses take the blood, using sterile equipment and accepted techniques.
The signup table in front of Student Union will be open again today.
A chart in front of Bovard Auditorium indicates the percentage of each house on the Row as well as totals of Row and independent donations.

Taverns in Town Can Now Exist Closer to Troy
Ah yes, there’s good news today for those who imbibe: liquor taverns can now exist closer to SC.
The State Senate last night gave final approval to a law allowing the taverns to be one and a half miles away from the campus as measured by the nearest road. Current law requires “air-line” measurement. Assemblyman G. Delbert Morris (R-L.A.) said the bill has the university’s backing.
SpeakerNamed For Graduates' Annual Lecture
Dr. Kenneth O. Emery, professor of geology and one of the world’6 leading submarine geologists, will give the '21st annual reresearch lecture at the Graduate School dinner in Town and Gown, tonight at 6:15 p.m. .
Selection of the annual research lecturer is one of the highest honors bestowed on a faculty member at SC.
Dr. Emery will speak on “Underwater California” and tell of his studies made of bottom sediments for the geology department and the Hancock Foundation for Scientific Ressarch.
In 1949 he flew to New Zealand to address the Seventh Pacific Science Congress, and last fall he flew to Manila to speak to the eighth meeting of the organization.

BLANKINSHIP JOINS ASSC PREXY RACE
by The Watchbird
A new j ouster hung his shield in the SC political arena yesterday, as Jerry Blankinship, senator-at-large, announced that he would seek the ASSC presidency in May elections.
As the latest contestant to set up his pavilion for the tourney of the ballots, Blankinship opposes both Bill Van
Alstyne and Don Daves, who announced themselves as presidential candidates earlier in the week.
Basing his platform upon a promise of equal representation for all students, Blankinship declared that he would run independent of any political party.
He said he has previously been approached by leading members of the TRG, Conservative, and the former Inrependent Party as a possible party candidate, but that he had refused affiliation with any group.
“\o Favorites”
“To be affiliated with a campus party is like choosing only a portion of the student body to represent. I want it known that I am running independently, with no thought of playing favorites,”
Blankinship said.
The new candidate’s spuming of party backing was construed in some quarters as a bid for the support of independents and others not satisfied with the present poltiical alignments.
It has been rumored that several leaders in both the Conservative and TRG parties might support Blankinship’s campaign, even if such action meant breaking their present affiliations.
Independents Need Champion Independents are eying the situation with anticipation, as they are looking for a champion who could give them as good a deal as is offered to the Row, and who holds enough political strength to wage a good fight in the elections. The last man who offered that combination was Bob

Carpenter Leads Nearest Competition by Big Margin
Al Carpenter, chairman of SC’s Conservative Party, widened his lead over 36 other “Mr. Trojanality” contestants yesterday, drawing a step closer to a date with Debbie Reynolds and $300 worth of additional first-place prizes.
Carpenter led Hillard Torgen, a shot putter on the varsity track squad, by 79 votes at the conclusion of yesterday’s balloting. Carpenter’s vote-total was 338, as compared to 259 for Tor-gan.
For the third straight day Bill Van Alstyne, probable candidate for the ASSC presidency, held ihird place. Van Alstyne, with 253 votes, now trails Torgen by only six ballots.
Voting Ends
Today’s voting, . scheduled to end promptly at 2 p.m., will decide the final outcome of the week-long contest.
Trojanality Contest Publicist Sara Donald said yesterday that the final list of prizes for the top three finishers was “really staggering.”
“When you compare this year’s prizes to those of .past contests,” she said, “it’s hard to imagine the difference. We really hit the jackpot this year.”
Date with Debbie
A date with MGM Starlet Debbie Reynolds at Frank Sennes’ swanky Moulin Rouge will be the reward of the Trojanality winner.
Miss Reynolds also will present the three winners’ trophies at Saturday night’s Beaux Arts Ball.
After Six, designers of formal evening wear, have incorporated their annual “Mr. Formal” contest into the Trojanality competition and will present the winner with over $100 worth of formal clothing and accessories.
The After Six prizes will include 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 Prizes
Other leading first-place prizes will be $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 Desmond’s, and a flight over Los Angeles with the Trojan Flying Club.
Second and third place finishers in the Trojanality voting will receive, among other prizes, trophies from Coffee Dan’s and the Southern California Trophy Company.
“Trojans—Please—Get on the ball—Contribute to Trojan Chest!
“The administration will permit one more day of classroom collections because the $2000 goal was not met yesterday,” Lenore Monosson, classroom collection chairman, said. Collections will be taken Monday during 11 a.m. classes.
Only three sororities, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Tri Delt, and Gamma Phi Beta, have contributed to the sorority-fraternity collection. Their contributions total $216, which is far short of the $900 goal.
ADPi9 Help Out The Alpha Delta Pis’ 75 cent per auto “Car Wash” is expected to add more to that sum. Men are reminded that they may have their car washed for the weekend and know that the money spent will go to charity.
“Fraternity collections are even worse than the sorority’s,” Bob Hildenbrand, fraternity collection chairman, said yesterday. “T h e only contribution we’ve received so far is from Monday night’s Fraternity Pie Throw, which netted $109.41.
“The weather-man hasn’t been cooperating either,” Bob Kent, special events chairman, said. “The sophomore class Pie Throw had to be changed from last Tuesday noon to next Tuesday noon because of rain.”
Doodles Comes Through “The junior class Push-Cart Race brought in a disappointing $25,” Kent said. “The crowd was large and everyone had a heck of a good time watching the race but the students just didn’t bet. It took guest entertainer Doodles Weaver to contribute the most money,” he added.
