be Erected In Time Term, Fagg Says
The Walls of Troy will definitely be up before the beginning of next semester, Fred Fagg III, chairman of the Greater University Committee, declared as the $15,000 fund raising drive for the Walls opened today.
Every organization on campus will be contacted before Wednesday, Dec. 15, the closing date, Fagg said. Each group contributing a $300 section of the Wall will have their crest sunk into the pillar on a bronze plaque, he promised.
Answers Critics Answering critics of the proposal, Fagg predicted that the Walls of Troy would become a tradition in the same manner as Tommy Trojan.
“Everyone knows of SC as Troy and has heard of Tommy Trojan while few outsiders ever get a chance to see Tommy. Everyone driving along Exposition Boulevard will see the Walls of Troy,”
Fagg said. There will be an estimated 2500 cars an hour passing SC when Exposition becomes an artery for the Harbor Freeway.
To Maintain Theme The pillars will be built of bricks. An aluminum alloy with a gold luster will be used for the fence in carrying out a cardinal and gold theme.
Organizations can give contributions by check or in the form of a pledge during the next week and a half, Fagg said. Pledges are payable within 60 days. The drive will be a short one to enable construction to begin as soon as possible.
Fagg mentioned that several classes in the past have donated money for a future Walls of Troy.
These alumni will now see the project realized.
Further information on donations may be obtained by calling RI 2311, extension 367 anytime during the drive. Connie Kirman, or Bill Ruch can also supply additional help.

Additional Needed to
Pledges Hit Goal
Signups for the SC blood drive will continue today to get the 600 necessary pledges. No signatures were obtained last Friday because of the rain.
If students do not rally to donate 800-pints of blood next week—this year’s quota—the Red Cross will no longer provide facilities for a blood drive on the SC campus.
So far the turnout has been good, according to drive cochairman Jerry McMahon, but the final test will come tomorrow and Wednesday, when students who have signed up are actually to donate the blood.
Students Forgetful “Every year so far a lot of enthusiastic people have signed up to give blood, and then apparently have forgotten all about it,” said McMahon. “This year we have done everything possible to remind the students of their appointments and urge them to show up. From now on it is up to them.”
McMahon also said that the various houses whose members cannot be accommodated on campus are being urged to form car pools to take students to the blood center. Donations made there between Dec. 9 and Jan. 6 will be counted in with those made on campus and will influence the awarding of the three traditional trophies.
Should Notify Center The Red Cross said students planning to give blood at the center should notify the blood bank ahead of time.
Every year there has been an unofficial contest between SC and UCLA for the highest number of donations. Last fall UCLA made 812 donations, to SC’s 737. Last spring SC won with 972 donations, two pints more than UCLA. These were the largest contributions ever made by either of tbe schools. UCLA’s drive is scheduled for next April.
Sharon Swanton, field representative from the Red Cross, reported that last spring more than 50 donations were made at tbe center after the drive.

headquarters in Southern California, sought to answer this question and clear up other questions on selective service last Thursday.
“The only recent change in deferment requirements,” Colonel Hartw'ell said, “affects those students w'ho plan to go on with their studies after completion of a four year course.”
Change Due Jan. 1
Colonel Hartwell said that as of Jan. 1, 1955 students planning graduate work will have to be in the upper quarter of their gradu ating class scholastically or have a score of 80 or more one the se lective service examination.
“One thing that men must do if they are taking a four year course is to complete the course in four years or less,” he said.
All draftees must serve two years active duty and then a total of six years in organized reserve units. However, if the draftees serve four years active duty, there are no reserve requirements, the colonel said.
Test Date
The College Qualification Test for draft deferment during college will be given this Thursday and April 21, 1955. It is too late for students who have not already applied to take the Thursday test, he said. Applications for the April 21 exam can be picked up from local boards and must be mailed no later than March 7, he said.
McCarthy Scored for Action In Senate, Dr. Rodee Says

H. W. Patmore Registrar
Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis) was condemned for his ungentle manly conduct and speech in the Senate and not for fighting com munism, Dr. Carlton C. Rodee head of the political science department, emphasized in an in terview Friday.
“McCarthy’s behavior was un worthy of any member of the U.S. Senate,” Dr. Rodee said, “and he has seriously injured the prestige of the Senate and the country. No senator has descended to such a low’ level of insult as McCarthy
No Slap
This condemnation vote does not in any way constitute a slap at investigating committees,” the professor said. “It requires civi lized behavior on the pairt of senators.”
“McCarthy can still investigate if he remains on a committee designed for that purpose,” he said.
“He seldom referred to people he did not agree with without insulting them. The condemnation resolution may make him behave himself.”
The political scientist said that the U.S. Senate is the most powerful upper legislative chamber in the world and that such conduct as McCarthy’s “makes the democratic process look pretty bad to other countries” and supplies propaganda to the communists.
Discredits Accusers “He never faces a charge, but tries to discredit his accusers,” Dr. Rodee said, referring to McCarthy’s action before the Gi-lette Committee, which investigated his finances in 1948. and the Watkins Committee, which made the censure motion.
The condemnation is not without precedent, the professor said. He referred to the censure of Sen.
Hiram Bingham of Connecticut in 1929.
McCarthy’s condemnation “puts the Senate on x-ecord and is a warning to other senators,” Dr. Rodee said. “He is a symbol, and if he were not frebuked "a lot of little McCarthys would come along. His actions would set a pattern for other senators to follow if he were left unchecked.
Name Calling
“Anything he accomplished, if at all, could have been done without name calling,” the professor said.
“It is significant that McCarthy was censured by a vote of three to one.” Dr. Rodee also emphasized that even though the Democrats voted in a solid block for condemnation, “it was not a straight party vote.” He pointed out that a majority of Republicans voted for censure and only the extreme rigbt wing, “not the Eisenhower Republicans,” supported McCarthy. “The group that supported him is not dominant *in the Republican Party.
Republican Senate
It was a good thing he wras condemned by a Republican Senate,” Dr. Rodee said, “because now he can not claim a political vote.”
Dr. Rodee gave his support to the proposal of some senators to draw up a code of rules governing the behavior of all senators.
Commenting on the “10 million signatures” McCarthy supporters claim to have and their demonstrations “to pressure the Senate to vote against censure,” Rodee said this probably encouraged rather than intimidated the Senate to condemn McCarthy and stand up to pressure of “mob and rabble rousing technique.”
