Von KleinSmid Requests Help in Defense Aims
The university organization to promote participation in national defense offers an opportunity for each member of the university community to join in that activity for defense for which he is best fitted and which will draw upon his training, experience, and inclination.
In view of the seriousness of the present international situation, It is most earnestly urged that every member of the faculty group, the administrative staff, and the student body take advantage of this opportunity to express his determination to do his part in winning the war. No
one of us engaged in the enterprise of education should consider that he is doing any other than placing himself in the position to be of largest service.
The new university organization furnishes the opportunity to work for victory at the same time that we are preparing to render necessary service in the largest way after the requirements of our present programs shall have been fulfilled.

Our Contribution
Apparently there has been some misconception among the student body of the functions of the newly established university organization to promote participation in national defense.
Some students have been rathor skeptical of the results the organization could accomplish, while others have feared enlistment with one of the committees would curtail their normal academic programs.
To explain the work of the organization, we shall list and answer some of the common questions:
1—What	is the university organization to promote participation in national defense? It is a group of committees established to coordinate the defense activities of students, faculty members, and the administrative staff of the university.
2—What	is the composition of the organization? It is made up of a chairman and his two aides, a central coordinating committee, and 11 sub- or project committees. Each project committee has a volunteer section of persons to carry out the work in its particular field.
3—Will	the committee work curtail a student in his normal academic program? No. It is planned specifically so that students may stay in school and still have a definite part in national defense work.
4—Will	the organization and its committees function after the Christmas vacation? Yes, the body is permanent in nature. *
5—Will	it conflict with other defense programs already established on campus? Overlapping, of course, will be avoided whenever possible. The organization will attempt to coordinate existing programs to promote greater effectiveness, wherever this is possible.
6—How	binding is registration for work with one of the committees? It is entirely volunteer work. There should be no reason, however, for anyone to wish to discontinue his

Filipinos Blast Japs in Battle Off Manila
MANILA, P.I., Dec. 16—(U.P.)—First details reached here today of a battle at Lingayen beach, 110 miles northwest of Manila, where a Filipino army division, lining the shore with artillery, blasted 154 motorboat loads of invading Japanese soldiers without letting one of them reach land alive.
The battle lasted three days. It

began last' Wednesday night and at last report the Filipinos were holding the beach and the colonel in command sent word to Manila that his force would stand their ground “to the last man.”
COLONEL QUOTED
Details were brought here by a correspondent of the Daily Herald. He quoted the colonel, whom he did not identify, as saying:
“We eagerly awaited the Japanese attempt to land. The enemy showed up Wednesday night. I counted 154 motorboats in all. We held our fire until they were near.
The correspondent reported that when the colonel promised to fight to the last man “he was merely voicing the sentiments of men of all ranks whom I interviewed.” The colonel was. said to be convinced that the Japanese would never again gain a foothold in his sector.
DEFENDERS STRIKE
Meanwhile, there were reports from Dagupan, 10 miles east of Lingayen, that three more Japanese planes were shot down today,
