Members of the San Pedro 1 YWCA and thc women's committee of the Los Angeles chamber of . commerce aie sponsoring the i dance, which is one of several planned for the future.
The women’s committee conceived the idea as part of their plan of “moral building” and recreational programs for the draftees.
That Trojan coeds are anticipating the event is revealed bj* information received in interviews about campus. They all feel glad | to do their part for national de-| fense. The male element of Troy was passive to the threat of losing their domination over the weaker sex. just opposite to the attitude I of male students at San Diego State.
They did. however, suggest, tha ! "bringing of some college girls to SC while the SC girls are at Fort MacArthur.”

Non-Orgs Will Discuss U.S. Defense
Bolton, Frasher to Give Different Approaches in 25-Minute Debate
SC students had the chance to try their Spanish yesterday, when they entertained officers and men of the Chilean naval academy. The Latins arrived in Los Angeles Sunday aboard the training ship Rancagua, and will be here a week.
Confused by the resounding of j —--—--
“hablo Espanol” and “como esta usted,” the white-jacketed visitors I were greeted by members of the |
NROTC and escorted around the campus.
OYERW HELMED BY RECEPTION
To a man, they were enthusiastic about American customs and overwhelmed by the receptions given them in this country. With bits of English they had picked up, and motioning of hands, the Chileans engaged in conversation witn SC students.
“American universities are very complete and very beautiful,” Ensign Rufo Almeida said. “Everywhere we have been met with hospitality, just ac- students here have greeted us,” ne continued.
“Chilean universities are very similar to American schools,” Almeida said, “with departments, colleges, and schools for each main division of edi/cation.”
AMERICAN INFLUENCE
Shewing signs of American influence, A. F. Wolboum, member of the cruise, claimed that he was hpving “a darned good time" everywhere and hated to leave for home.
“Aln^st everything has impressed me," Wolboum said, “your American ways have been very interesting.”
George Tortelio, Chilean ensign was particularly impressed by the movie studios and dignitaries.
The 22 midshipmen are schedulea to leave Los Angeles next Sunday and return tc the Escuela Naval academy. About a third of thc cadets speai English. Captain Miguel Lazos heads a staff or 15 officers completing the personne. of the cruise.
Arriving with a police escort, the cadets were r.;ct by NROTC members and Squires and shown into the Administration building where they were greeted by Dr. Albert S.
Raubenheimer, dean of the College of Letters, Arts, and Science.
Non-org students will participate in an open discussion of the phases of national defense preparation following a 25-minute debate by Earl Bolton and Wallace Frasher at a Lancer luncheon in the University Methodist church at 12:10 p.m. today.
Bolton and Frasher, varsity debaters, will present two different approaches to the topic “What Are We Preparing to Defend?” Their analysis, however, cannot be considered a debate in the strictest sense because each shares the same point of view in regard to the ultimate goal of protecting democracy, Frasher remarked.
NO SINGLE CAUSE
“It would be assuming far too much to name a single cause for the present conflict,” Bolton explained, “and the tendency to oversimplify the situation by upholding our economy, democracy, or religious preference as reasons only further confuse the issue.”
Bolton intends to list several of the more fundamental “nerve centers” of the American economy and will explain how they respond to the current threat of insecurity. FRASHER SPEAKS
On the other hand, Frasher will approach ths subject from the philosophical standpoint, developing what he believes to be two antithetical views now in conflict with eacH other. He contends that America’s democratic liberalism is incompatible with authoritarianism, and that the fears of our people provoke armed retaliation when threatened from abroad.
Although reservations for today’s luncheon have been turned in, all interested students may attend the discussion. Instead of the usual course, guests will receive a 30-cent box lunch, packed by a downtown concern.

Britain Expects More U.S. Aid
LONDON, May 7—(U.P)—Asserting that Adoif Hitler is “afraid to go to war against the United States,” Prim^ Minister Winston Chuchill today told the house of commons that Britain expects ‘ a great deal more help from the United States” to carry her through to victory.
He pledged the British empire to “a fight to the death” on ali fronts, and won a 447-to-3 vote of confidence from commons after angry clashes with David Lloyd George, world war premier, and Former War Minister Leslie Hore-Belisha.
The three votes against Churchill's conduct cf the war, at the conclusion of a wide-open two-day debate, were cast by a Communist, a Socialist and a Laborite.
Even the venerable Lloyd George, who only a few minutes earlier had heard Churcn’ll liken him to the despairing Marshal Henri Philippe Petain Just before the collapse of France, refrained from voting against Churchill.
