One Doy Left
Drive For
Blood Falls
Far Short
The Bloodmobile on 'its visit
here yesterday failed to get even
half of its two-day 400-pint goal
and 250 pints are needed today
to push it to the quota.
Doctors and nurses will be in
Graham Memorial again today
from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the
simple operation which takes on
ly about a half hour from regis
tration to finish. Bill Roth, one
of the drive's co-chairmen, re
minded prospective donors that
"giving blood is painless and has
no harmful after effects."
Donors must be between 21 and
69 years of age and in good
health. Those who plan to donate
blood are asked not to eat heavy
fatty foods within four hours of
their donation. Appointments
may be made by calling 5611 or
9-1881.
Roth recalled a story told him
by a Korean veteran. He quoted
it as follows:
"I spent the rest of one night
there in the hospital, recovering
from wounds received in action.
In the back of the ward, near
the spot where the stock of blood
was stored, weary men were
awaiting their turn to be trans
fused.
"Erery few rninutes one of the
nurses -would come back to get
more blood for the wounded. I
decided to say thanks for the
blood you gave for blood that
literally brought my buddy back
to life."
Roth said the period from
2 p.m. until 4 o'clock this after
noon will be reserved for donors
from the NROTC. Other donors
are asked to come at any time
between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and
4 p.m. and 5 p.m.

Local Bookshop Owner Fought
As Cohort, Enemy Of Zapata
By Robert Bartholomew
A man who can fight on
both sides of a Mexican revolu
tion and live to tell it is indeed
rare. Yet, such a man is Joseph
Augustine Helguera, owner of
the local Unicorn Book Shop
on Franklin Street.
Helguera is the father of
Leon Helguera, a UNC student,
who is taking a Ph.D. degree
in history and who is also a
member of the library staff.
In 1912 Helguera was attend

Dr. Asirvatham
Sees His Land
As 3rd Force
Says That India
Is Independent,
But Not Neutral.
"Communist China has been as
much sinned against as sinning,"
is the opinion of an authority
whose country is pressing for ad
mission of the Red regime to the
U. N. Security Council against
U. S. wishes.
Dr. Eddy Asirvatham spoke on
Campus Monday f after spending
the weekend at a Y conference on
international relations at Camp
New Hope. . .
Continuing on Communist
China, the native of India said we
must recognize the legitimate
party of China. This is not Chiang
Kai-Shek's Nationalist govern
ment on Formosa but the Com
munist organization in Peiping,
Dr. Asirvatham declared.
"Are we sure the Chinese
Nationalists are the true repre
sentatives? It's guess work, and
because of corruption and nepot
ism the Chinese do not believe in
this government.
The Chinese are sick and tired
of war. They are not prepared to
go along with the Nationalists
The professor of political sci
ence at Boston soon will return

teach. He sees.tus country as a
"third force in world politics .
independent but not neutral." In
dia must not align itself with
either world bloc, the speaker
said, but must "weigh each case
on its merits."
Dr. Asirvatham turned to reli
gion and identified himself as a
Hindu - Christian-Congregation
alist-Methodist-Quaker. He ex
plained the break down as "Hin
du by culture, Christian by con
viction, Congregationalist by
birth (father was converted),
Methodist by affiliation and
Quaker by inclination.'.'
Dr. Asirvatham said the Indian
people are great admirers of
Woodrow Wilson and regard the
former president as "one of the
great men of the United States."
He called Dr. Frank P. Graham,
former consolidated University
president, "a prophet without
honor in his own state." He
lauded the UNC liberal's work in
Kashmir after two other men had
failed to bring about a settlement
between India and Pakistan.
' Dr. Asirvatham pointed pride
fully to the fact that India warn
ed that should Gen. Douglas
MacArthur , threaten the Yalu
River Red China would enter the
Korean War. She did, consider
ing it a violation of her integrity,
the political scientist asserted.
Dr. Asirvatham made his re
marks in a talk to Dwight
Rhyne's international relations
class. He also spoke to Dr. Alex

class. RN. r
ground was discovered by one
of Zapata's generals. Most of
these generals, like Zapata,

The general, who was a for

Army, needed trained men
badly, men who could read and
write and knew something of
administrative work. He ap
proached Helguera with a
proposition.
Left with the choice of being
an officer in Zapata's army, or
being shot Helguera decided to
accept the live offer. He was

The United States Air Force

The appearance of the band
here is being sponsored by the
Alpha Phi Omega, national serv

"Operation Christmas" is a
program dedicated to the welfare
of each orphan in the state. It
was inaugurated in 1950, repeat
ed in 1951, and on both occasions
the success of the venture was
national heralded.

Film Series Runs

Film committee member Earl

the series has not been, adequate
to warrant continuation of the

not sold tonight, I am afraid we
will have to cancel the winter

Speaking to a Methodist fel

out that the Consolidated Uni

is $26,000,000 with an addition

from the new Legislature when

maintain my independence and to
edit a paper for all students."

Sitting in the editor's office al

Board. "The board probably will
meet and elect someone soon," he
added Dear could remain chair
man according to existing laws,
but he indicated he would remain
on the board and not continue in
the chairmanship.
Roberts congratulated Editor
elect Dear and added, "This elec
tion sort of reminds me of base
ball. You lose some, and you win
some. But this one should have
been rained out."
Student Party officials filled
Graham Memorial halls with
shouting and singing when it was
learned they gained legislative
majority. Twenty-six SP rep
resentatives will -occupy seats in
the Legislature to give the party
"the first legislative majority in
14 years," according to Joel
Fleishman and other SP officials.
The legislature was set up in its
present form in 1938 and since
then SP has never held a major
ity, its members say.
President Ham Horton (UP)
said after the , election, "This was
a wonderfully successful election.
Students turned out as they never
have before in a fall election.
Those that deserved to win won.
We want to give them all our co
operation and support."
Sol Cherry (UP) said "The
best man won. Now that they
have a majority, we are expect
ing big things from them."
Party Chairman Ken Barton
(SP) said, 'The students showed
they are tired of the do-nothing
UP Legislature and have voted
for the first Student Party Leg
islature in history. We of the Stu
dent Party appreciate your sup
port and pledge ourselves to un
selfish and endless work for your
benefit."
Fall elections generally bring
out about 20 percent of the vot
ers. The unusually large number
of voters in this election probably
is the result of vigorous campaign
ing between Dear and Roberts
for the editorial post.
Students elected to the Student
Council were Herb Cohn (SP),
Jimmy Adams (UP) and Wanda
Philpott (SP).
Lou Wolfsheimer was named
president of the Junior Class; Ann
Street, secretary and the others
were still not counted early this
morning. 1
Jerry Cook, Elections Board
Chairman, was very indefinite on
the race for president of the
Freshman Class but there was
strong indication that there might
be a runoff.
Be My Buddy
President Nolan Rogers of
Duke University and Presi
dent Hamilton Horton issued a
joint plea yesterday urging
students to maintain good
sportsmanship at the Duke
Carolina game.
The statement stressed the
importance of keeping "the
tradition of sportsmanship and
gentlemanly rivalry existing
between the schools in foot
ball and reminded thai "this
rivalry must not include van
dalism and similar immature
acts."
