on Renaming War
What’s in a name?” said Shakespeare the immortal, and nis words are echoed today. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his request for a new title for the present battle of nations, was met with an avalanche of suggestions, uppermost of which was one submitted by George Bernard Shaw. He called it “the” war, but expres-

No matter which of the competing teams wins Friday night’s post-season hockey battle between the Trojan club and the San Diego Skyhawks, one victor — the U.S. navy relief fund—is virtually assured since the proceeds of the match are to go to this cause.
Probably the last southern California ice match for the duration will take place in San Diego on Saturday evening as the two clubs travel south to give the Border city fans a chance to see the top-ranking western hockey sextet’s in action and also contribute to the naval relief fund.
The hockey season ended some two weeks ago after San Diego had captured the league title, but largely through the efforts of SC Hockey Menoor Arnold Eddy, the special i benefit series between the two j teams was arranged.
BATTLE EXPECTED Friday evening’s contest is exneed for another yell pected to be a hard-fought affair the rooting sections in because it will give the Trojans a
parting shot at the Skyhawks who defeated the Cardinal and Gold outfit in the final game that decided the league crown.
The Trojans, who were plagued with injuries thoughout the season, succeeded in downing the San Diegans twice and tying them once while dropping three close encounters to the southern club.
SC was eliminated from the playoff competition following the regular season by the Bakersfield Oilers, and thus failed to face the Skyhawks in the playoff finale.
STARS RETURN Harry Black, runner-up for scoring honors last year, will be back in uniform to lead the Trojans after being on the shelf since Christmas with a broken foot which he received in the Santa Rosa junior college match last year.
Also in peak condition and set for the foray is Dick Tougas, who played m the Oiler series. Hard practice sessions this week have ;r and Jim Jordan, who were j put the local squad in condition
for the navy relief match with the San Diego club, which still has a slight edge because it has been playing for the past two weeks.
Date of Songfest Moved to Apr. 27
The interfraternity sing, originally scheduled for next Monday, has been postponed until Apr. 27 because of the announcement that Defense Stamp week will start Monday night with a dig, according | to Duane Attebury, chairman of i the sing.
Words to all songs should be submitted to Attebury at the Sigma Chi house, or at the office of Dr. Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men,
' not later than tomorrow.
The dig will be held in the Student lounge from 7 to 9 p.m., and the admission price will be 25 cents, for which the entrant will be given a 25-cent defense stamp.
sed a doubt that the name of World war II could be changed.
In reference to the naming of the war, several faculty members came forth yesterday with their opinions concerning the subject.
Carlton C. Rodee, assistant professor of political science, explained: “In my opinion, the best title to date is that used Sunday by a speaker on the University of Chicago broadcast. He called this the ‘total war’.”
Professor Rodee said that he wondered why we couldn’t wait until the war had run its course in years before attaching a name.
Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English, who served as one of the judges on the Herald-Express contest for a new name for the war, reported that thousands of contributions were received.
“Finally,” said Dr. Baxter, “the local judges decided upon ‘The Peoples War’—a title which may satisfy Mr. Roosevelt, but I have not met anyone yet who likes it.” As an afterthought he added, “Having a contest to name this war is like having a contest for a new law of gravity.”
Neil D. Warren, assistant professor of psychology, admitted ruefully, “To be honest, I haven’t given
it a thought. Someone will undoubtedly name it but not by contest or request—it will just happen.” Frederick W. Woodbridge, professor of accounting, declared “The adjectives I can think of for naming a war are not printable, but I suppose some name will be adopted.” He expressed the idea that “complete war” might be a possible title. He added tha.t “Great World War” might also be used, since the last war did not involve so many nations at once.

His Royal Highness Crown Prince Olav of Norway will address the SC student body in Bovard auditorium Friday morning on the subject, “Norway’s Contribution to the War and Her Position in the Present Day,” when he and Crown Princess Martha visit the Trojan campus for the second time in three years.
Appearing before SC students at nificancel the invitation of President Rufus B. ! ference von KieinSmid, the Norwegian ^e Janei crown prince comes at a time when organized anti-German sentiment is mounting in Nazi-occupied Norway.
AWARDED DEGREES
Their royal highnesses were awarded the honorary degrees of Doctors of Law by President von KieinSmid when they were feted at a banquet in the Foyer of Town and Gown in May, 1939. Mayor Fletcher Bowron and other civic and consular officials honored the royal pair at the dinner sponsored by the Los Angeles Norwegian colony.

In his speech, which will climax the pair’s one-day visit to the university, Crown Prince Olav is expected to reveal some of the many ways in which the Norwegians are aiding the united nations in the struggle with the axis powers.
