All University park classes will resume at 8 a.m. Tuesday. February 23. For further information, consult bulletins in general information office.

All-U Religious Assembly Will Be Wednesday
Program I o Include Both A Capella Choir and l alk by Knopf
Will Be First of Series
Students’ Requests Spur Dean To 1 naugurate Chapel Sessions
An all-university religious assembly will be conducted next Wednesday at 10 o'clock, fulfilling a desire expressed by many students for Trojan assemblies to include something of a religious nature.
This assembly will be the first of a series of 10 o'clock programs to be sponsored by the School of Religion and will be Riven every second and fourth Wednesday of the month.
Program Is Different
Departing from the type of chapel assemblies held in the past, the new series will include music pro-j vtded by the university A Capella jchoir, readings, occasional organ | When the smoke cleared a cap- and vocai numbers, and brief ad-j tain of United States marines and

down a barrage for an imaginary landing party in the war games being conducted by the battle fleet.
After one of the salvos, the gun crew, all marines, were reloading the 5-inch rifle, when the shell which they were handling discharged before the breech was closed.
Six Killed What had started as a sham battle in secret maneuvers off Sun Clemente island. 50 miles from San Pedro, suddenly was climaxed by disaster when the high explosive shell roared back through the open breech of the Wyoming's gun and hurled its marine crew to the deck, dead, dying and wounded.
Four of the victims of the backfire were killed instantly. Two died as they lay mangled on the deck.
The Wyoming, normally a training ship, but for the purpose of thc secret maneuvers carrying 1.000 marines from Quantico, Virginia, was laying down a barrage on the San Clemente island beach to cover a hypothetical landing party.

Eriksson Views Court Revision
Advocating that thc independence of the Judiciary must be preserved to safeguard the American constitutional system, an article written by Erik Eriksson, professor of history at U. S C., appears in thc United States News this week.
Professor Eriksson was in partial approval of President Roosevelt’s plan to revise the supreme court.
"The plan to force Justices to retire from the supreme court." writes Professor Eriksson, "or have votes offset by new appointees must be viewed, however, ln light of the past four years, as a camouflaged scheme to pack the court for the purpose of forcing interpretations favorable to the new deal Justices should be allowed to retire voluntarily at the age of 70.
