Red Cross Drive
Passes Mid-Point
Over half of the $l5OO quota in
the student drive for American
Red Cross has been received, ac
cording to Frank Tidona, chair
man of the campus unit.
Every leader of every organi
zation on campus has received a
letter asking for a lump sum
from their treasury. The operat
ing committee expects this last
phase of the campaign to top the
present quota.
"No charity is so important as
the one at home. No charity
strengthens our American struc
ture's° much as that which eases
the plight of some of our own
desperately needy. When you give
you are giving not for Red Cross'
sake, but for the sake of Ameri
can citizens who are even now
suffering hardships becaus.s. they
lack the basic human needs of
food and shelter," said Tidona.

SI. John Speaks
On Greek Tragedy
"Modern Greek Tragedy" will
oe the topic of Robert St. John's
talk when t'e appears in Schwab
Auditorium at 8 o'clock Fr'.day

From his observations and ex
ueriences in foreign countries, St.
John has become convinced of and
advocates two points; that the
most dangerous trouble apot; n
the world is along the invisible
line separating Yugoslavia from
Greece, a nd that diplomacy can,
and eventually will, solve the
Problems of the day and prevent
a third world war.
Backing up his first conviction.
St. John says, "The Yugoslav-
Greek border line is important
because it is the separation point
c•f two great colossi. Here, two
ways of life stand face to face.
The people of this region have
,he opportunity of comparing
these two ways of life."
