McCarthy announced yesterday
I that attempts are being made to
contact local authors and play
wrights to interest them in offering prizes for outstanding contributions. According to present plans, a prize would be given for the best story and poem submitted during each | semester.
RULES OUTLINED
Although the page is scheduled to appear only every other week, more frequent publication may be possible if the quantity of acceptable material exceeds the editors’ expectations McCarthy said.
Contributions may be left in Tro-: jan Our Readers Say boxes in Student Union, Bridge hall, and Old College or may be taken to 424 Stu-' dent Union.

Ragan to Explain Latest Tax Laws
“Excise Taxes in the 1941 Acts” will be the subject of Rex Ragan, assistant professor of accounting and taxation, when he addresses a luncheon-meeting of the men’s faculty club to be held in the Elisabeth von KleinSmid social hall tomorrow, at 12 noon.
Professor Ragan, in clarifying his topic, has pointed out that excise taxes are increased excessively in time of war or national defense increases. It was also illustrated that people of a democracy are usually opposed to this type of tax as they can be levied against anything except food.
Further illustrated in the talk is that a 10 per cent tax is not always 10 per cent but somewhat larger due to the compounding of taxes levied by the state government as well as that of the federal government.
“Almost any tax may be called an excise tax including those on property and income,” Professor Ragan said. “It is a tax upon consumption goods other than food.”

Homecoming Visitors Celebrate to Music of Freddy Martin
The dance band of Freddy Martin has been chosen to play at the Homecoming dance on Dec. 6, Charles Johnston, assistant executive director of the alumni association, announced yesterday.
Selected by Student Chairmen Bill Beaudine and Bruce Graham, Martin, who recently has completed a 3^*u-’s run at the Cocoanut Grove, will * play for alumni, students, and faculty in the Fiesta room of the Ambassador hotel.
A highlight of Homecoming celebrations, the dance will climax the week’s activities and the SC-UCLA

game. Johnston urged students, faculty, and alumni to secure bids immediately because of a reservation limit.
Centered around’ the winning slogan, “Return to the Fold of the Cardinal and Gold. There’s a Bruin Ruin A-stewin’,” Greek houses along 28th street will carry out the theme for Homecoming celebrations.
Urging the houses to start giving serious consideration to decoration plans as there are to be no floats this year, Johnston stated that preference will be given the first of two identical plans submitted! Plans must be in the alumni office, fourth floor Student Union, by Nov. 15.
Faculty Opens Chest Drive
With a goal of 100 per cent subscription, the faculty division of the SC Community Chest campaign opened yesterday under the direction of Dr. Melvin J. Vincent, professor of sociology.
Early contributions were being received slowly during the day at the office of coordination, but Dr. Vincent expressed belief that the volume of donations would increase as the campaign progressed.
“Although we have a quota to fill,” the campaign manager said, “we are more interested in# receiving the cooperation of every faculty and staff member. Any amount that can be offered will be accepted gratefully and will help boost our total.”
Dr. Vincent stated it is not the purpose of the campus drive to detract from the faculty members* giving in their home communities, but he suggested the contributions be divided, half being given on the campus and half in the home campaign.
Assisting Dr. Vincent is Dr. Bessie A. McClenahan, professor of sociology, who is in charge of special donations.

Hams' Called to Help Guard Trojan Bonfire
Loud Speaker System to Thwart Attempts of Would-Be Invaders
“Hams” are on demand for Friday night’s bonfire rally, but the type sought by Dick Koontz and Wes Naye, co-chairmen of the affair, are not of the edible variety.
The chairmen want SC radio amateurs, who will set up a loudspeaker system at the bonfire site at 64th street and La Cienega boulevard to provide a method of protection against outsiders who might touch off the huge pile of wood prematurely.
All persons familiar with radio are asked to meet Koontz in the counselor of men’s office at 9:50 a.m. tomorrow.
“With microphones situated at strategic spots and a loudspeaker system that will amplify warnings so that they may be heard by all chose on guard, I believe we can successfully guard against a repetition of last year’s raid and burning of the bonfire by UCLA students,” Koontz said yesterday.
He also urged fraternities participating in the wood-gathering contest to make their plans for getting combustible material suitable for the bonfire immediately, to avoid last-minute searches that might result in complaints against students’ stealing of wood. *
The fraternity gathering the greatest amount of wood and cooperating most effectively in the building of the bonfire will receive a trophy. Work on the pyre will begin at 1 p.m. Thursday.
Students Display Wood Toy Designs
Brightly colored toys, designed simply but humorously by sophomore design students, are now on display in Harris hall showcases.
With an insight into defense-created metal shortages, Hudson B. Roysher, instructor in design, assigned his class a project in the use of wood for toymaking.
The results are toys which can be produced in a typical woodworking shop with a minimum of metal.
Included in the exhibit are working models of gaudy kiddie cars, one of which can hold 800 pounds. This shows that wooden toys can be made as durable as those of metal.

Germany Maintains Silence on Demands of State Department
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 — (U.P.)—The United States has demanded $2,967,092 from-Germany for damages in connection with sinking of the freighter Robin Moor — one of the first American ships sunk in the battle of the Atlantic — but thus far has received no reply, the state department disclosed today.
The Robin Moor was torpedoed in the south Atlentic last May 21. All on board were rescued after being adrift for periods ranging from several days to three weeks. MESSAGE DELAYED
The department also revealed that Hans Thomsen, German charge d’affaires, has refused to transmit to his government the text of President Roosevelt’s message to congress denouncing the sinking as “the act of an international outlaw.”
The department made public an exchange of notes between Secretary of State Cordell Hull and Thomsen concerning the reparations demand. The German envoy wrote Hull on Sept. 26 that the president’s message and Hull’s subsequent damage claim “are not such as to lead to an appropriate reply by my government.”
SHIP TOLL MOUNTS
The notes released against a back-drop of strained U. S.-Ger-man relations.
Fleets of the two nations are engaged in undeclared warfare which thus far has cost 10 American merchantmen and one warship sunk and one destroyer seriously damaged. It is believed, though not confirmed, that several German U-boats have been sunk.

Dr. Greever to Give Fourth Forum Lecture
‘American Literature’ Named as Subject for Discussion
“In the past man has only ,to look out for himself, to be an individualist. Today he must necessarily associate with others.”
Showing this change as indicated in American literature, Dr. Garland Greever, professor of English language and literature, lectures today at 4:15 pjn. in Bowne hall on
“Constructive Elements in American Literature/’
INDIVIDUALISM UPHELD
In this fourth lecture on “America and the Future of Civilization,” Dr. Greever indicates the stages of mans development on this continent by relating it to the style of corresponding literature.
Some of the contemporary literature indicates the trend of American influence on future living. This is illustrated in Sydney Laniers expression in his poetry that America should not use its strength to impose upon the individualism of other nations.
POSITION OF INFLUENCE
Even though we are much more closely associated as a result of modem developments, we should try to still hold our individual attitudes and at the same time not suppress free thoughts of another, said Dr. Greever.
In this philosophical approach to the effect of American writings, the professor will show that the United States is in a position to influence the world of the future because of its physical and social size. The power that this country wields however, states the literary instructor* should not be directed with “bullying force.”
