Is Herr Hitler dead or alive?
Adolf Hitler, the man reported as dead by one means or another a week ago, may be studying Russian speech at SC in disguise, if the opinion of William C. de Mille, professor of drama, is worth consideration.
The director believed that it would be possible for the former Nazi leader to completely change his features by a number of disguises.
“If the Fuehrer shaved his moustache, he would look like any other Joe Doak because his features are so nondescript,” said ProXessor de MiUe.-------
The belief that Hitler is alive as another “character” may have some basis, since the German leader’s body has not been located as yet.
Profs plan Trovet talk
Pros and cons of Argentina's admission ,to the security conference will be offered at a panel discussion to take place tomorrow at 12 noon at the weekly Trovet meeting in 206 Administration.
In this fourth in a series of public forums conducted by the veterans’ association, speakers will be Dr. Edmund V. de Chasca, of the Spanish and Portuguese department; Donald D. Johnson, lecturer in the history department, and Alonzo Baker, teaching assistant in history, general studies, and political science.
Mr. Johnson, against admitting Argentina, argues that since that country still has a fascist government, recognition of the Farrell-Peron regime is virtual approval of fascism, while Dr. de Chasca favors the United Nation bid to Argentina.
Trovet President Frank Soares emphasized that all faculty members and students are invited to these open meetings.

Trainees, given the first chance to sign up for appointments and registration in the barracks, will continue signing up until Wednes-dayf according to Duane Whitehead, barracks representative. Students will have only one chance to give their blood, as the collecting unit will be on campus only one day.

Donors must weigh at least 110 pounds. A 10-week period must have elapsed since at last donation.

LONDON, May 7.—(U.P.)— The Stockholm newspaper Dagens Nyheter said today that Hans Thomsen, German minister to Sweden, was en-route from the, Norwegian frontier with “surrender docu ments” which would be delivered this morning to Allied legations in the Swedish capital.
The dispatch was entirely without Allied confirmation but King George and Queen Elizabeth returned to Buckingham Palace last night from
Windsor Castle and it was presumed the king was standing by for important developments.
The Stockholm dispatch did not say whether the purported documents provided for the surrender of Norway or for the complete capitulation of Germany. However, it pointed out that after delivery of the documents to the legations, the capitulation would be announced in Allied capitals.
Early yesterday, Thomsen was reported in Stockholm dispatches to have conferred with Josef Terboven, Nazi civil governor of Norway, and Horst Boehme, Gestapo chief of Bohemia and Moravia, sections of Czechoslovakia. Only in Norway and Czechoslovakia are the largest remaining German garrisons.
Indications that the end was near seemed based on the belief that Grand-Adm. Karl Doenitz who succeeded Adolf Hitler as German leader, was preparing to give up.
Petitions for potential office-holders in ASSC, colleges, and classes will be out today, according to Bob Thompson, elections commissioner, and students desiring to run for any school offices are asked to obtain them immediately. They must be filled out and returned to the ASSC office by 4 p.m.

Keyholer surveys Gardeners' caucus
Writing sports publicity for the boys in khaki may be the next duty of Dick Nash, former director of athletic news service at SC, who arrives at Ft. MacArthur for formal induction into the army today.
Nash, a graduate of SC in 1936, passed his final examination for the armed forces last week.
Once sports editor of the Daily Trojan and editor of the Wampus, Nash replaced Al Wesson as director of athletic news in 1942. Wesson, now a lieutenant commander in the navy, is in public relations work at St. Mary's preflight.
All-U dig set for Friday
It's a dance, everyone is invited; Hollywood entertainment will appear, and outstanding music will be played for all Troy Friday night was the rumor confirmed by Terry Nelson, chairman of the all-U dig to be held in the Student Lounge; but an air of mystery surrounds ,the affair. Nelson failed to state the details of what he promises to be one of the most enjoyable dances of the term.
The name of the dance, “Prom-anemia,” hints that the dance might have some relation to the bioodbank drive .this week, but Nelson guaranteed that since the LAS council is sponsoring the dance it is sure to be successful.

by Keyholer Jr.
Despite several attempts to quash him into silence last week, Keyholer Jr. is back again today to carry on his analysis of the never-never land of Trojan politics. Grazing between the devil and the deep blue, he has been interviewed, interrogated, expostulated, and repelled by so many people in the past four days that three-fourths of the individuals on the SC campus are beginning to look like pocket editions of “The Political History of the World,” and his office behind the big brown chair in the Student Lounge reeks of deals that failed to consumate.
Still the most important item on the political front at 9C this week is the now famous and controversial Garden Party meeting held last Tuesday night, appropriately enough, in the Law building. A clarification of the events of that night and the platform of the Garden Party seem in order. Here, in finest, unbiased Paramount newsreel fashion is a report of that primary caucus and the position of the Garden Party.
In the words of Mary Lou Royce, Zeta Tau Alpha, and Chuck Martin, Sigma Chi, leaders of the Garden group, their party is not a political machine. It is rather a concerted action of a representative group of the student body in opposition to the present political organization at Troy. The foun-
dation of the Garden Party is based on the fact that if a truly representative election can be obtained, the existing machine will be defeated.
First to form this coalition directed against the grip of the machine were members of Sigma Chi, Kappa Alpha, and Delta Tau Delta. Abetted by other campus organizations and by unaffiliated students,
An emergency session of the ASSC senate will be held today at 12:15 p.m. in the ASSC president’s office, 235 Student Union, according to Lee Scott. All senate members are requested to be present.

At the meeting held last Tuesday night representatives of campus fraternities and sororities as well as unaffiliated students crowded into the Law auditorium in response to a statement that candidates would be selected by a new political party whose goal wras the establishment of better government for Troy. When they arrived they found Martin on the rostrum, supported on one side by Jim Lund and Jim Callanan, Kappa Alphas, and by Mrs. Royce on the other.
Primary on the agenda of the meeting was the election of candidates to run on the Garden Party ticket. From a list of four names written on the blackboard, Garden Party representatives chose Millie (Continued on Page Four)
