Trojans will legally cut classes for the first time this year when they attend the annual all-university field day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the form of a free all-day beach party at Santa Monica.
The event this year is planned by Frank Swirles. president of the College of Commerce, and Phil Jones, president of the College of Letters. Arts, and Sciences.
For the exclusive use of Trojans, the beach in front of the Santa Monica Deauville club will be roped off from 10 a.m. to 5 a.m. to form a playground. Sporting facilities for badminton, volleyball, and softball will be placed there for student use.
GAME SCHEDULED Students will furnish their own lunches and refreshments, according to Jones. They may bring their food with them, or purchase it down there.
Sport highlight or the day will occur when members of the commerce faculty meet members of the commerce student body in a softball game.
Following Trojan tradition the field day is scheduled for the day after the interfraternity formal.
"We hope everyone will turn out.” said Jones. “Since the president has insisted upon an organized program we must have the united backing of the students. If we don't, the university officials will think we’re not interested and we won’t have any more field days.”
STUDENTS PLAN DAY Student committeemen assisting Swirles and Jones include Paul Barthel, location; Evelyn Curfman. social activities; Virginia Ellis, publicity; Bob Quenell, cleanup; and Lon Hopwood, program.
“This is the day when everybody gets to do what they want to do,' explained Swirles. "They can loaf on the beach, play games, eat, and have a swell time away from classes and books. They won t be away from professors because they are invited to be our special guests for the day.
Halferty Edits April Wampus
In accordance with Wampus tradition. Associate Editor Guy Halferty. takes over the editor's desk for the April issue of the campus publication.
Dick Mulcahy, resting from the worry of deadline for the first time since September, yesterday declared that he was “satisfied” with the issue which will appear on campus tomorrow.
Halferty intimated that humor occupies a prominent spot in the April Wampus.
"Students have assured us that they want a variety of jokes,” he said, “so we are going to give them plenty tomorrow.”
The usual features Juke Box Jump, the swing record column by Ted Olewine, and Glass House, campus scandal expose by Snooper-man, are included in the issue.
Surrounded by a color of eggshell pink, a picture of Glenn Miller's bass player has been secured for the cover,” noted Halferty. "Following this up is a feature written by the incumbent editor,” he added.
BERLIN. April 21—(IIP)—German bombers are destroying and sinking transports loaded with evacuating British troops, whole divisions of which are fleeting from Greece in "another Dunkerque,” informed German quarters asserted tonight.
In furious dive-bombing attacks, the luftwaffe was said to have sunk or badly damaged 11 of the British evacuation ships, mostly between the Gulf of Euboea, near the eastern end of the new British-Greek line, and the island of Crete.
(Censor-approved London dispatches Monday night forecast evacuation of the British expeditionary force from Greece, possibly with loss of men and equipment reminiscent of the flight from Dunkerque last June after the battle of Flanders.)
GREEKS TRAPPED
Meanwhile German armored columns tonight were reported swinging shut a trap on the main Greek army retreating from Albania and threatening to smash from the rear the British and Greek western flank anchored in the Pindus mountains.
The war in the Balkans is “already practically decided in Germany's favor” and British-Greek resistance against the German tide reaching to within little more than 100 miles of Athens is being shattered, the German press said triumphantly.
Informed German quarters, reporting the wholesale evacuation of Brtish troops aboard transports after an “utter rout” of allied forces across the Thessaly plains, said that five transports totaling 23.000 tons had been sunk in aerial attacks. BRITISH BOATS HIT
Two others were heavily damaged and left with heavy lists, four others totaling 17.000 tons were damaged.
Earlier the official DNB agency had reported the destruction of 33.000 tons of shipping, “mostly British transports,*’ by bombing attacks. and the high command in its communique had reported the sinking of a 7000-ton ship at Volos harbor and the damaging of two large troopships near Chalcis on the Gulf of Euboea. It was from Volos and Chalcis that the British divisions were said to be embarking, either for Crete of North Africa.
Haydn’s Oratorio Outlined in Lecture Tomorrow Afternoon
“The story of creation set to music” is Dr. Max T. Krone’s description of Franz Josef Haydn’s oratorio, the the “Creation,’ which Dr. Krone will intrepret tomorrow in a lecture in Hancock auditorium, instead of in Bowne hall as previously announced. The lecture will be heard from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.
In outlining his talk, Dr. Krone explained that the “Creation” is a poem, derived from the first chapter of “Genesis” and from Milton’s “Paradise Lost," that has as accompaniment a complete orchestra. ACCOMPANIED BY CHORUS “Singing the score are three soloists and a chorus,” he pointed out. “The choral recitative outlines the story, and the soloists, in the form of archangels, sing arias, carrying out the melody.”
Dr. Krone described an oratorio as being to choral work what a symphony is to instrumental work. In structure it consists of several selections, much like a symphony. Each component part in Haydn’s work describes one day in the work of the creation of the world. CLIMAX OF CREATION The climax comes with the description of the sixth day, when man was created. Here Adam and Eve appear, joined by the chorus.
Haydn wrote the “Creation” when in his 70s, and at the close of its first performance, which made an extraordinary impression on the audience, he was so overcome that he had to be carried from the room.
The Austrian composer is noted for the naturalness and simplicity of his compositions, which consist of sonatas, symphonies, string quartets, and oratorios.
Indian Art Authority Speaks to Philosophers

Dr. Zimmer was professor of Celtic philology at the University of Berlin, instructor in Indian philosophy at the University of Heidelberg, and instructor at Oxford in 1938, where he did research work in Hindu and Buddhist philosophy.

President Appeals to Workers, Operators for Coal Strike End
..WASHINGTON, April 21— (UP)—President Roosevelt tonight appealed for immediate reopening of the nation’s soft coal mines because “the public interest demands it and the public interest is paramount.”
He proposed that northern mines resume production on the basis of the agreement the operators have already reached with the United Mine Workers of America, and that southern mine operators resume wage negotiations while reopening their mines.
SHORTAGE TOLD
He pointed out that because of the three-week shutdown, “there is a diminishing supply of soft coed available to plants engaged in defense production.”
“It is imperative that there be no shortage now, or at any other time, of coal for defense production purposes,” he #aid.
His appeal came in » formal statement issued by White House Secretary Stephen T. Early, at 10:45 p.m.
Earlier in the evening, there had been indications at the labor department that an agreement had been reached, or was expected to be reached, whereby northern mines —producing two-thirds of the nation’s soft coal—would reopen tomorrow morning.
TEXT QUOTED
The White House statement said: “While an agreement between a majority of operators and workers ln the bituminous coal industry has been negotiated, there is still a disagreement, with the union and one group of operators on one side and another group of operators on the other. The result is that the mines, which should be operating, are not doing so and there is a diminishing supply of soft coal available to plants engaged in defense production.
RECOMMENDATION MADE
“It is imperative that there be no shortage now, or at any other time, of coal for defense production purposes. In order that the supply be immediately replenished, through the resumption of mining operations, and in the best interest of the United States and its citizens, I publicly recommend and urge that:
“1. The miners and operators already in agreement resume coal production under the terms of that agreement.
“2. The operators and miners who have not yet reached an agreement, enter into wage negotiations and at' the same time reopen the mines, the agreement ultimately reached to be made retroactive to the date of resuming work.”
