Cinch notices ...or, foul-up time at SC
“C-I-N-C-H spells CINCH.
A lousey F and you have clinched.
The world is dark and full of hate,
Oh! C-I-N-C-H!”
What was it, lack of effort? Absent from exam, perchance? Or was your previous preparation unsatisfactory?
Are you troubled with low grades? Do you wake up screaming? Does your liver quiver? Then go today to your friendly adviser, tell him your troubles, feel that he is your father away from father. And in no time at all you will be happy, carefree; you will be papering your wall with cinches and laughing at them. And, for no added charge whatsoever, after you h a ve flunked out of school he will cheerfully recommend the proper courses for you to take at the YMCA.
“Don’t feel badly; why, in 10 years you will be laughing about all this . . . while leaning on the handle of your shovel.

U.S. understanding sought by Argentina
‘‘Americans must not judge the motives of Argentina too harshly,” declared Carl Dentzell, executive secretary of the southern California council of inter-American affairs, in addressing the World Student assembly Thursday evening.
“Argentina is not anti-United States nor anti-Brazil so
much as it is just plain pro-Argen-
tina,” Dentzell stated. “The shortsighted policies of the United States itself have led to the trouble between our countries as much as anything Argentina has done,” he said, declaring that we have done exactly the things which the extremists in

as an example of this the tariff policies which forced Argentina exporters to send by far the greater majority of their products to European nations.
“The Argentine people have been dismayed at the antagonism shown toward the United States by their fovernment,” Dentzell
continued, “but they have been rapidly losing their respect for us.”
* Dentzell, referring to the recent withdrawal of Argentina from the Pan-American union, suggested that the United States best move would be to send to that country a statesman who has gained the trust of the Argentina population, such as Henry Wallace or Sumner Welles. “It is the Argentine people themselves who must straighten out their country,” he said, “and the most we can do is to act in such a way as to hold their respect.”
