Campus Visit
Thornton Wilder, author, lecturer, and Book of the Month club winner with his latest contribution. “Heaven’s My Destination.” will give his only Los Angeles lecture this Thursday evening, March 5. at 8 p. m„ in Bovard auditorium. He will discuss “The Motion Pictures and Literature.”
As an author who believes that the novel is declining as an artistic medium and that the drama is fast becoming predominant as the new vehicle to succeed narrative form. Wilder is fundamentally concerned “with the mystery of death and judgment, the tragedy, and the finale of life’s comedy.”
Of a recent lecture given by the Pulitzer prize winner, the Montreal Gazette said, “Wilder has a delightful manner, a fine style, and easy delivery and a personality that enabled him. in his delineations of an author’s emotions, to allow his hearers to analyze their emotions as readers.”
Having recently returned from a 950-mile walking trip in the Tyrol and an extensive tour through Europe, Wilder is beinp brought to the S. C. campus by Epsilon Phi, honorary EngUsh fraternity.
Tickets for the lecture are priced at 50 cents for general admission, with 75 cents for reserved seats. They may be secured at either the English office, 388 Bridge hall, or at the ticket window in the Student Union.

‘Resurrected Premier* Will Preside at Cabinet Meeting Today
Copyright, 1936, by United Press.
TOKIO, Monday, March 2—(U.E) —With its “resurrected premier,” Admiral Keusuke Okada, presiding, the cabinet convened at 10 o’clock this morning to face the political, military and social problems arising from last week’s bloody militaristic attack against constituted authority.
Although calm prevailed throughout the country, Tokio continued to be ruled by martial law and absolute military rule is expected for a week.
The cabinet will meet daily until lt decides upon its future policy. Decision is expected to coincide with the lifting of martial law.
Cabinet Resignation Expected
Resignation of the cabinet is expected, in view of its assumption or responsibility for “bloody Wednesday.” But there will be no definite action pending agreement as to the form of the next government.
Prince Sainji, senior elder statesman who escaped assassination last week, will take counsel with emperor Hirohito. A slight indisposition of the prince has delayed his important palace conference.
A cabinet statement last night expressed regret for Wednesday's disturbances which “were suppressed by the government’ power on the basis of imperial virtue.”
It expressed regret for the “uneasiness caused the emperor, the nation and countries abroad.” Offenders Imprisoned
After Captain Nonaka, one of the leaders of the unsuccessful coup, killed h' f'elf, the cabinet announced that the other officers participating in the mutiny have been lodged in the army prison.
The non-commissioned officers and soldiers who participated in the uprising have returned to their barracks where they are living segregated from troops who did not participate.
Meanwhile Admiral Kantaro Suzuki. grand chamberlain of the imperial court, continues to improve. With Premier Okada. he was reported dead at the same time the deaths of Finance Minister Korei-kiyo Takahashi, Viscount Saito. lord privy seal, and Gen. Jotaro Watanabe were announced.
campaign will be continued for one more week without the aid of the Los Angeles police department. He pointed out that every student in the university should take the responsibility upon themselves when they see someone parking in a red zones to tell them about it All fraternity and sorority officers are asked to cooperate with the Trojan Knights and Squires in the safety campaign be severely punishing any members who park in the red zones either along University avenue or in front of the Student Union.
Campaign to Continue
He also emphasized the fact that the safety campaign will be enforced for the remainder of the school year or until a time when students will comply with police rulings.
“We intend to call upon the Los Angeles police department next week to give traffic citations to all violators who fail to pay any attention to red zones,” Newell declared.
Eames Bishop, A. S. U. S. C. president, has asked cooperation in the matter, in an attempt to avoid serious accidents.
“Student autoists have not cooperated fully in making this drive a successful one during the past week, and I do hope that they will reform without making it necessary to call in the police to clear up the situation,” said Bishoo.
President Gives Warning President Rufus B. von Klein-Smid reminded students that their cooperation is needed in this safety campaign.
“The broad walk crossing 36th street between the Student Union and the Administration building is a traffic spot of particular danger on this campus,” he stated. “The width of this passageway, as outlined by the broad lines, is a measure of safety.”
The various red zones around the campus will be re-painted before the end of this week according to announcement of Clee Foster of the O. and M. office.

Jack Hupp who apparently couldn't miss the basket, and who accounted for 22 digits, the Trojans ran wild to win as they pleased. Jerry Gracin lanky Trojan forward, was right behind his captain In the point scoring department when he laced the netting for 16 markers.
At the half time, Troy led, 31-18 with Hupp being responsible for 13
