Italian Press Warns U.S. to ‘Keep Out’
ROME. Sept. 29 —(U.P.)— Premier Benito Mussolini’s own newspaper II Popolo D'ltalia tonight bluntly warned the United States that it will go down to “defeat and destruction” at the hands of the axis powers if it enters the European war.
Insisting that Germany. Italy, and Japan are anxious to maintain friendship with the United States and that their new triple alliance is ‘a great peace instrument,” II Duce's newspaper said that the American people themselves might force its transformation into a war instrument.
INTERESTS FROD U.S.
The Popolo D'ltalia said that English Jewry and North American plutocracy have put in motion a “diabolical plan” for their own selfish oligarchical interests to prod the United States into the war.
These elements, it was alleged, are trying to force the United States into a. position "which inexorably condemns the North American armed forces to defeat and destruction.”
•DEFEAT CERTAIN*
If this comes about. Mussolini's newspaper said, the United States will be completely crushed.
•‘This defeat will dissolves like clouds in the sun the might of North American power.” it said.
“It will subject North American homes to useless fighting, bring about the loss of various world wide positions now held by the United States.”

HISTORY RECALLED
In order that the new university would have adequate sponsorship during its growing days, its founders asked the Methodist church conference to assume that responsibility. In 1928, by change in its charter and organization, the university became a non-de-nominational institution under the control of a self-perpetuating board of trustees.
The idea of a university had its inception in the minds of a few civic leaders who felt that the rapidly growing city of Los Angeles needed an established center of culture. An Episcopalian. Ozro W. Childs; a Catholic, John G. Downey; and a Hebrewr. Isaias Heilman contributed a small tract of land for the new* university surrounded by wheat and mustard fields, a long trip by horse and buggy from the then center of town, now the old Plaza.

Taylor Heads Discussion at Methodist Luncheon
The discussion, “Growing a Personal Faith.” will be led by Dr. Robert John Taylor, acting dean of the School of Religion, at the University Methodist church luncheon, today at 12:10 p.m. The cost of the luncheon, which is sponsored by the Campbell club, is 20 cents.
"The usual student lunch? Oh, a sandwich — usually a hamburger — and a coke or a malt.’’
That was the way a Student Union waitress replied to a Daily Trojan reporter's query about what students eat.
As to the professorial lunch, | “They usually order a full-course meal and eat the same thing ev- | ery day,” she pointed out.
"The average price ior a meal is 30 cents, professors buying the most food, probably because they have more money” the waitress said. She explained that professors spend more time with their lunches, because the lunch hour is one of their few free hours. “Women students. however, dally longer over their food and cokes than males, she explained Cokes are the favorite of both professors and students, according to the waitress, but she pointed out that during finals, black coffee shoots to the top of the drink parade. Continuing, the waitress observed. “Many customers prefer to have their coffee diluted with nine-tenths hot water. Another drinks hot water exclusively with his meals.
“Often peoplt order the same food, day after day. One customer of mine invariably takes the same kina of sandwich and a malt, and another — one of my prize cus-1
tcmers — unfailingly orders a bowl of steaming soup and tops it oft with a dish of ice cream." she concluded.
Registrar’s Office Notice
The attention of students is called to the fact that eligibility and honors are usually dependent on a high cumulative scholarship average and not alone on the record for one or two semesters or for all units passed.
A low record during the first semester, or any single semester, is likely to prove to be a very serious permanent handicap in college and also in the later years after graduation.
There are 54 honor societies, and membership in any one of them is a strong recommendation forever afterward for the student who is so honored.
Theron Clark, Registrar
