Student Art Work Sold to Highest Bidder at Auction
Described by student officials as a “truly successful sale,” the College of Architecture and Fine Arts yesterday conducted its annual auction of the season’s best art work in the patio of Harris hall.
Outstanding student works of pottery, sculpture, jewelry, water-coloring, and oil painting were sold to the highest bidders in the sale which drew a large crowd of Trojans and outsiders looking for art bargains.
Fifty per cent of the proceeds of each sale went to the student artists themselves, and the remaining 50 per cent was given to the College of Architecture’s scholarship fund.
Jerry Bense, originally in charge of the sale, was unable to attend because of illness, and Prof. Merrill Gage took charge instead.

War’s Largest Convoy Crosses Atlantic in ‘Uneventful1 Trip
WITH AEF IN NORTHERN IRELAND, Tuesday, May 19— (U.P.)—A huge American expeditionary force, heavily equipped with tanks, heavy guns and other invasion material, has landed in north Ireland after an “uneventful” crossing of the Atlantic, it was revealed today.
The contmgent, numbering thousands upon thousands of men, arrived with the largest convoy of the war, escorted safely from the United States by American and British I warships.
NO ATTACKS
Not a single ship was lost during the trip, most of which was made through fog which restrict enemy submarines and planes. Reliable informants said that the comoy was not subjected to any attack.
(The Loudon Daily Express, in a dispatch from a north Insh port, said that “not a single submarine attempted to atta i.’ the convoy,)
There were so many troops and so much equipment it took days to get them hustled ashore and off ro camps in tlfe Ulster hinterlands for training in invasion tactics.
MEN WORK OUT
Tlie landing was the first visible result of the promise by Gen. George C. Marshall, U.S. army chief of staff, during a recent visit to Britain that a steady flow of men and supplies would be sent across the ocean to insure “an early victory.” It also lent emphasis to Marshall’s statement that American troops would be operating against the enemy in the very near future.
As fast as they could be put ashore, the reinforcements were speeded away for immediate workouts.
The Irish countryside rumbled with the tread of marching feet and rolling of machines.

Seventy-four newly elected graduate members of Phi Kappa Phi, national all-university scholastic organization, were announced yesterday by Dr. Grafton P. Tanquary, secretary. The new members will be initiated Thursday at 5:30 p.m. in the Foyer of Town and Gown
Priorities Silence Air Raid Whistle
“About that whistle—we are still trying to find something to make ! it blow!”
The statement was made by Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men, and he was speaking of the air raid whistle to be employed in connection with 28th street defense measures. A shortage of hot air, steam, and oxygen, caused by priorities, is blamed for the “noiseless” whistle state.
Along other lines, however, regulations are being kept up. as usual. Inspections of all fraternity and ; sorority houses are still under way to see that sand, ladders, hose, and blackout rooms meet requirements. The hose, which must be attach-* able inside, should reach from cellar 1 to attic.
Windows should not be painted, but blacked out with curtains, since paint expansion cracks the panes. Cigarettes or matches are visible at an elevation of 10,000 feet, and students are urged to cooperate in this respect, in case of a raid.
Speakers of the evening will be Dr. John A. Sexson, superintendent of Pasadena schools whose topic will be “Recent Trends in Education,” and President Rufus von KieinSmid, national president of the society, who will speak on “Scholarship and Education.”

Original Music by SC Student Played Tonight
Concert Program Features Work of Herbert Horn
Featuring a program of original compositions written by Herbert Horn, the School of Music will present a concert tonight at 8:15 in Bovard auditorium. Assisting Mr. Horn will be the Meremblum string quartet and the University woodwind quartet with Frank Youkstetter at the piano.
The music to be presented was written by Horn as a partial fulfillment for the requirements for his master's degree in music. Composed for organ are three pieces. “Passacaglia,” “Largo Mesto,” and “Toccata.” Other selections, appropriate for piano, will also be played.
A graduate of De Paul University in Chicago, Horn was a bache-lor of music. Formerly a member of the faculty of the San Francisco Academy of Allied Arts, he has appeared as a soloist with the Chicago symphony orchestra, the Illinois symphony orchestra, and the De Paul symphony orchestra.
According to press notices received from the Chicago Tribune, “Mr. Horn has developed a technique equal to almost any demands of speed, fluency, and sonority . . ”
Piano and theory, ensemble and conducting, and composition and theory have been studied by Mr. Horn under Ida Shelley, Severin Frank, Walter Knupfer, Richard Czerwonky, and Dr. Wesley La Vio-lette.
Members of the University woodwind quartet who will appear on the program are Jean Paul Stanley, flute; Frank H. Desby, oboe; Perry Krohjn, clarinet; and George Vaiana, bassoon.
U.S. Army Bombs Erupting Volcano
MAUNA LOA LAVA FLOW, Island of Hawaii, May 10 — (Delayed)—(U.E)—Hawaii’s great volcano, Mauna Loa, has been in violent eruption for two weeks but the lava flow now is subsiding following aerial bombing operations by the U. S. army, it is possible to reveal today.
The eruption began at 5 p.m. Apr. 26 when a series of explosions rent the great mountain and started lava streams which threatened the city of Hilo.
All news of the eruption was suppressed rigidly since it constituted information “of value to the enemy”—Japan.
(Actually news of the eruption was not allowed to be transmitted from Honolulu, whence this dispatch was relayed by telephone, until Monday, May 18.)
Custom Forsaken as Tea Houses Closed in China
CHUNGKING, May 18.—(U.RV-The most-cherished, centuries-old custom of Chinese of all classes—the small tea - house for friendly discussions of military, political, social, general situations, or just gossip—received an unexpected blow today when the government ordered closure of all unnecessary tea houses.
Although tea-house drinking costs only a few cents for any number of cups, the government said, its use has grown too widespread and Chinese patriots are “frivolously” spending money and wasting time when the nation faces its greatest danger.
The order affected a far greater number of people than the government’s previous bans on dancing and sale of wine in public restaurants. Well-travelled Chinese said a comparable situation would exist in the United States if the government proscribed the sale of cups of coffee and soft drinks between meals.
Million Soviets Close on Nazis
Russians Wipe Out German Paratroops Dropped Behind Lines
MOSCOW, May 18—(UJ?)—Russian forces attacking 1,000,000 strong behind a vanguard of 2C00 tanks are closing a giant nutcracker on Kharkov after wiping out German parachutists dropped wholesale behind the lines and repulsing massed enemy tanks hauling infantryladen trailers, front dispatches said tonight.
As Marshal Semyon Timoshenko's offensive rounded out its first week, his army was reported pressing in on Kharkov along a 100-mile arc, storming ahead through scorched fields and burning villages against German defense forces freshly strengthened by the arrival of air and mechanized reserves.
Red army dispatches conceded a stiffening of German resistance, which appeared to have slowed down the Soviet drive, but said the Russians still held the initiative everywhere down to the smallest individual sector.
“Every hour fresh reports are coming in from the Kharkov front of more and more localities recaptured,” the Soviet radio said. “The Germans are sustaining enormous losses.”
For the first time the use of German parachutists-suicide squadrons whose doom was sealed before they left their planes—was revealed by the newspaper Pravda, which said a number of units ranging around 120 each had floated down on the Kharkov front.
Many of the paratroops never even hit the ground alive as the Red army riflemen opened up on them, and those who did# were mopped up in short order, Pravda said.
Rush Captains Assemble
All fraternity rush captains are to meet this afternoon in Dean Bacon’s office at 2 to discuss the problem of university rushing. There will be a discussion of the parts fraternities will play in the new rushing plan.
Professor Makes Hobby of Knowing Students
Most personality sketches deal with student celebrities, one form or another, and it might not be a bad idea to devote a little space in this paper to an analysis of a faculty member. With such a consideration in mind, Prof. Everette N. Hong's personality immediately comes to the foreground.
There is an interesting man. Truly, he has the reputation of knowing personally more individual students on campus than any other professor. As a sideline he teaches a course in economics, maybe another in accounting, but his greatest interest lies hi cultivating friendships with lower classmen.
Some call him “devotee of the coffee cup,” others “the tolerant skeptic of student theories.” This writer prefers to call him “the fellow who has retained the spirit of youth as a drop curtain behind a broad education.” Professor Hong, “Everette” to most of his acquaint-
ances, can razz you into an acceptance of his laws. But don’t get the wrong idea—he doesn’t care whether a student accepts those coffee-cup laws or not. He simply questions your ideas until resources material has been exhausted and you are forced to admij failure.
And that’s the right technique. If you can sit back in a chair, satisfied, gloated, buoyant, and suddenly taik yourself right out of a belief, it has a greater effect upon your willingness to admit the former error.
Everette likes to talk about hogs and farming. Seems he used to live on a farm back in Iowa, back where he learned the rudiments of meaty argument. Most of his economic laws today find illustration, one method or another, in the mathematical output of swine, a condition based on the law of supply and demand. Cholera, ef course,
frequently distorting the graphical method.
Everette knows all the good jokes, too. Knows when to pull them, and when they are just beginning to get trite. That’s a trait most freshmen and sophomores have not developed. He has a funny little way of looking highly intelligent. He squints at you, with mouth drawn to one side. It’s a good technique and will frignten the bravado until the bravaau nas come to know him. Then you simply squint back at Everette, and both characters understand that neither is fooling the other.
Another of this blond economist’s hobbies is to catch a sleepy student, say at Carl’s, anl then ask him to slip a rubber band over the wrist of the left hand. After the student has put himself in this position, Hong bets him that he can’t jimmy the nuisance off in 15 minutes. The wager is placed, and
Hong sits back, coffee in hand, laughing at the facial grimace his guest construes while trying to remove the rubber band. That» pastime for Everette, and coffee pours down in torrents.
Most students have heard how tough this professor can be. They listen to stories of how he hasn’t given an A in five years and quake with terror. Most of the stories are true, too. He’s one man who won’t let a pretty red head talk her way into Phi Beta Kappa. But that’s his philosophy. If a student doesn’t know price theory, Hong can’t afford to perjure his conscience by granting alphabetical priorities.
Space draws to a close, however, and copy is due. All this writer wanted to say, anyhow, is “get acquainted with that blond Norwegian and get an education while you drink coffee.”
He’s a good Joe. -—S-F-R.
Women s Role Told Today at Assembly
Women’s place in war industry and profession, the new women’s army, postponement of wartime marriages, and other problems for women created by today’s war will be discussed by university officials and faculty members when they speak in a special assembly this noon in Bovard auditorium.	-*
Navy to Seek Second Trojan Air Squadron
President Rufus B. von KleinSmid has called the special meeting for all Trojan women to help them to see more clearly their position and duty in today’s world. Dr. von KieinSmid will be one of the speakers on the program presided over by Miss Helen Hall Moreland, counselor of women. MEETINGS CANCELLED
All previously-scheduled meetings for today have been cancelled in order that all women may attend, and sororities will not hold their regular luncheons this noon.
Today’s assembly will interest all university women because the subject under discussion is a vital one to coeds in all phases of campus activity and endeavor, according to Miss Moreland.
Discussing the general subject from their own points of view will be Dr. Albert Sydney Raubenheimer, dean of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences; Dr. Arlien Johnson, dean of the Graduate School of Social Work; and Dr. Frank C. Baxter, head of the English department.
JOHNSON TALKS
Dr. Johnson will especially devote her talk to the discussion of the opportunities for college women at the present time in industries and professions.
She has emphasized how more and more women are taking upon themselves jobs formerly held by men in engineering, public administration, and mechanical factory work.
Today’s assembly is a part of the university’s effort to counsel its students on their duties in the war situation. In other assemblies of this type university officials have sought mainly to advise the men students about their problems and duties.
Wampus Makes Final Appearance
“The final appearance of the Wampus is indeed a sad occasion, but let us take it like the Trojans we are,” said Guy Halferty, Wampus editor, on the eve of the last edition of the college humor magazine, which ’ he announced will appear tomorrow at 10 a. m.
“It’s been swell,” Halferty quoth, “I hate to think that it’s all over. Yes, it’s been swell. To think that I shall never again have the pleasure of assisting in its construction.”
According to Halferty (who is naturally prejudiced), this edition is especially juicy, and contains another of those “hot” stories sci c *uled to set the campus afire as did “I Headed for the Bar.” Glass House, he also asserts, will set some persons on their ears— and others on their guards.
Phi Epsilon Kappa Installs Officers at Meeting Today
Installation of new officers and members of Phi Epjilon Kappa, national professional physical education fraternity, will take place today at 12 noon in 203 Physical Education.
Don Perkins, newly elected president, will be installed, with Bob White serving as the new vice-president, Doug Essick, treasurer, and Stuart Skeele as secretary.
Formal initiation was held last week on the UCLA campus when Bruin members were initiated together with SC members, the latter including Walter Smith, Jack Carrell, William Schaefer, Stuart Skeele, Duane Maley and Bill Seixas.
Test Deadline Set Today
Today is the deadline for securing petitions to take the French and German language tests for doctor of philosophy degrees.
Permits may be secured in the graduate office, 160 Administration.
Ensign Stamp Present to Answer Questions of Potential Recruits
Out across the vast reaches of the Pacific and Atlantic waters and at the naval training station at Corpus Christi, Tex., former Trojan students, wearing the “wings" of the U. S. navy are piloting the planes that are carrying the attack to the enemy.
So well have these 67 men, members of the first Trojan squadron, which organized some months ago, carried ouU their assignments that the navy -is now attempting to form a second flying squadron composed of SC students.
Throughout this week Ensign Joseph Stamp will be on duty in Capt. Reed M. Fawell’s office, 103 Physical Education, to answer any questions concerning the contemplated squadron or any other phase of naval enlistment.
MEN 18-27 ELIGIBLE
It is the plan of naval officials to complete enlistment in the new unit by sometime ia June.
Men between 18 and 27 are eligible for enlistment, providing that they are unmarried; have at least a high school education; and can pass a mechanical aptitude and physical examination.
Members of the squadron wiU be sent first to St. Mary’s college at Moraga, now a naval cadet training center, and there, in addition to an academic curriculum, they will take part in an extensive program of competitive athletics under the direction of Lt. Comdr. Sam Barry, former SC coach and director of athletics at the base,
CONDITIONS RECRUITS
The athletic program is designed to condition the recruits for the rigors of combat flying, and will include competition with other varsity teams from western universities.
After four months training at BL Mary’s, the cadets will go to the naval reserve air base at Long Beach for actual flying instructions, which will include 10 hours of dual flight followed by solos.
The flying Trojans next will be sent to Corpus Chnsti for advanced training, and then to a fleet operation base where they will have an opportunity to fly the actual planes now used by the navy.
Now full-fledged ensigns, the men ultimately will be assigned to combat duty “somewhere in action.’*
