Although I have not had time to enter extra-curricular activities in my first three years at this university, I nevertheless have a deep interest in student affairs and a gen-line desire to serve the Trojan student body. In asking your consideration, I cannot point to extracurricular accomplishments. I do, however, feel a justifiable pride in the fact that I have earned all my college expenses while maintaining a B-plus scholastic average. I do not. therefore, count these years a failure.
During my senior year I expect to have more free time. It would be a pleasure to use this time in serving the students of Letters. Arts, and Sciences as their president. I have been closely associated with both fraternity members and non-orgs and would represent all students without discrimination.
As a high school student in Long Beach. I was active in school publicity work, being at one time school correspondent for the Long Beach Press-Telegram. It was m^ fortune to be elected senior class president and valedictorian. At the same time I maintained grades which gained for me a tuition scholarship at this university, which I still hold. I hope these activities will serve, in a small way. as proof of my ability and interest in student affairs.
—Philip Jones
Half of the students in LAS will vote come April 5, that is, if tradition means anything. This mild interest in the election of the president of the largest of the university’s 24 colleges arises partly from the attitude of the other half insofar as politics in general are concerned, and partly out of the fact that the college itself has not, thus far, established much group feeling.
Since the body is non-functional, practically speaking, it would follow in the minds of many students that the officer—president—would likewise be non-functional.
Actually, he sits on the senate— an important job in school government — and he heads the group which annually sponsors the college dance.
A non-org Squire as a sophomore, and a fraternity man at present, I think I understand both sides of the fraternity and non-org problems. I feel that I have the required ability and zeal to initiate and carry out any of the various functions that the college students will desire. I want the office, am obligated to no single set of constituents, and .most important. I hope that your wholehearted participation in the election next week will show your interest in this office.

LONDON, March 28—(U.P.) — The Allied supreme war council today pledged Britain and France to fight and work together until, “with the assistance of other nations,” there is established an international order ensuring the liberty of peoples and peace in Europe.
The council’s communique, issued on the same day Sumner Welles returned to Washington to report to President Roosevelt, was interpreted as a clear warning to would-be peacemakers that the Allies will make peace only on their own terms.
SECURITY SOUGHT
The civil and military leaders comprising the council were believed to have formulated a diplomatic “blitzkrieg” designed to wrest the initiative from Germany and carry to victory their war to ‘ crush Hitlerism.”
The council agreed:
1.	To maintain after the conclusion of peace “community of action in all spheres for so long as may be necessary to safeguard their security and effect the reconstruction, with the assistance of other nations (presumably including the United States), of an international order which will ensure the liberty of peoples, respect for law and the maintenance of peace in Europe."
‘NO SEPARATE PEACE’
2.	That neither Britain nor France would conclude a separate armistice or peace.
3.	That they would not even discuss peace terms before reaching complete agreement on conditions necessary to ensure their own security.

Armed with colorful floral pieces, streetcar transfers, and box lunches, Trojan coeds and their “reverso” dates will journey to the Biltmore hotel Blue room tonight to participate in the sophomore class backward dance.
Meeting on 28th street and West Adams boulevard, the “entourage "will board the Los Angeles railway company's “U” car which will leave the couples at the Biltmore. The more fortunate males will travel via station wagons, garage tow-trucks. and motor-glides. according to Greek communiques. COEDS PINCH PENNIES
Activities on the “row” indicate that detailed plans are being laid to afford the coeds, calling for their dates, a very “hearty” reception. One house on 28th street has assigned two pledges to entertain the girls while they are waiting for their late dates to join them. Another house will offer “free eats and drinks” for the escorts who find it inconvenient to wait 15 or 20 minutes for the men.
With monthly allowance checks almost depleted, some coeds are finding it difficult to ’round-up’* the necessary tariff for the affair. Resorting to well-worn college techniques. girls will sell textbooks, oth-| ers will type themes, and still others pawn old clothes. One resourceful woman, a major in the dentil school has persuaded her sorority sisters to have their teeth cleaned at “cut-rate” prices.
VAN WILL PLAY
Tom Gabbert, committee chairman for tonight's affair, announced yesterday that those students who have not yet purchased a bid may secure them today from sorority salesgirls at the cashier's window, or tonight at the door “With more than 200 bids already sold, we are hoping for a capacity attendance,” Gabbert added.
Music in the manner of Garwood Van and his 11-piece “rolling melodies" band will be played to entertain dancers. Featuring “sweet and simple” arrangements, Van will play from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. with his vocalist offering the latest ballads.
CORSAGES VARY
Making provisions for the hunger . of their male escorts, the coeds will supply themselves with box lunches and pints of milk to appease their appetites.
Corsages, ranging from onions to carrots, will adorn the lapels of the men as they escort their da:es into the Blue room. Suggested for tonight’s “greenery” have been radishes, parsley, and beets adorned with a white background of cabbage leaves. Because the affair is striet-ly on the “backward” order, the males will necessarily have to accept the coed’s offerings.
Tau Kappa Alpha Initiates Members
Tau Kappa Alpha, national honorary speech fratemity, initiated six members in a meeting at the Delta Chi fratemity house yesterday. The new actives include: Jack Hanshue, Vivian Clarke, Jane Walden, Billiee Jean Swarthout, John D. Funk, and Wilbur MacPhee.
