Presidents Meet jdent Lounge Today
ledge presidents were asked [to attend a meeting from D.m. today in the lounge of dent Union, by Park Scott, n class president. The meet-ring held to plan the future >f the freshman class.
Dr. Wilbur Long of the School : of Philosophy will speak on ‘The Conflict of Values." tomorrow at 4:15 p.m. in Bowne hall.
Dr. Long will discuss the issues between the values of truth and | the value of spiritual substitutes.
“The enemies of the cult of truth are many. They include obscurantism. fictionism. instrumentalism, nihilistic activism, the so-called ‘practicalism.’ and a group of theoretical viewpoints supporting them, collectively known as a nationalism which challenges the integrity and , importance of the theoretical mind."
; Dr. Long declared.
He also will discuss the importance between life optimism and nihilism. concerned with the question whether human life, logically and ■ objectively considered, does or does not possess meaning and worth suf-j ficient to justify it.
Other issues Dr. Long will discuss are the comparative merits of revolutionism versus evolutionism: personality versus the state, and liberalism versus the lock-step ideal of Gleichschaltung.
Dr. Long’s lecture will be the fourth given this semester by the 21st semi-annual philosophy forum. The discussions are open to the public. There is no admission charge to any of the lectures.

Conscription Officials Plan to Release Full Details Today
WASHINGTON. Oct. 20 — (U.P.)—Conscription officials said tonight they expected that the date and details of the national lottery—next big step in the draft program — would be announced tomorrow.
One source said “It looks very much like'’ October 29 will be the date of the drawing which will determine the order in which the estimated 17.000.000 draft registrants will be classified and selected for service in the nation's armed forces, j The lottery wrill be held in a gov- ; ernment building here.
NUMBERS TO BE DRAWN President Roosevelt probably will draw the first number from the famed goldfish bowl which was used for the World war draft in 1917. Numbers ranging from 1 to about 10.000 (which represents the biggest anticipated total number of registrants in any one local area in the country) will be enclosed in capsules and placed in the fish bowl for the drawing.
Draft officials said there would be only one drawing—that all numbers would be pulled from the fish bowl beginning the night of the date fixed for the lottery. The task of drawing 10.000 numbers is expected to take 16 to 20 hours. SPEED URGED In an effort to facilitate arrangements for the lottery, selective sen ice headquarters urged all possible speed by local draft boards in assigning and posting serial numbers of the men who registered last Wednesday.
Earlier plans to hold the drawing
either in the senate or house chamber have been abandoned because, as one official explained it, congress still is in session and it is impossible to foretell “what might be going on there that night.”
It was understood that tentative state quotas announced last night probably will be revised substantially on the basis of enlistments since October 1 and the number of men who will be placed in class 1-A— those available and fit for immediate general military service. Classification will begin after the lottery is held. Men will be classified on the basis of answers given in questionnaires that will be sent to them in the order in which their number is drawn.
QUOTAS ANNOUNCED Announcement of the quotas for the 48 states and the District of Columbia came after the wrar department revealed that 788.999 men would be drawn from continental United States from November 18 through June 15. Additional draftees from Hawaii and Puerto Rico will raise the total to 800.000.
The quotas ranged from 624 men from Nevada, which registered an estimated 16.000. to 114.796 for New York state which registered about 2.000.000. Volunteer enlistments will be counted off against the quotas. Assistant Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson asserted in a radio address that adoption of selective service does not diminish the need for regular army reecruits. These recruits must enlist for three years.

National Junior Tennis Champion Suffers Fatal Injuries When Car Somersaults
Death by automobile accident struck twice in the same family last weekend, killing Bob Carrothers, 18-year-old national and southern California junior boys’ single tennis champion from SC and his aunt, Mrs. H. A. Collins of Pocatello, Idaho, who was on her way to console the grief-stricken Carrothers family.
Carrothers died at the county hospital Friday night, two hours after suffering a fractured skull and crushed chest as the result of an the accident on the Rose Canyon highway, north of San Diego. ACCIDENT DESCRIBED
Carrothers was riding in the rumble seat of a car occupied by three other SC students en route to San Diego on a weekend holiday trip. The driver, John S. Ross, 18, of San Diego, told police he was coming down the curving canyon road when a left tire blew out, causing him to lose control.
The vehicle careened across the center concrete island, swerved across the opposite side of the road, and catapulted over a 50-foot embankment, somersaulting four times before coming to a rest 75 feet away.

Baxter Opens Third Poetry Series Today
Dr. Frank C. Baxter, head of the department of English language and literature, will initiate his third consecutive year of noon poetry readings with several selections of Walt Whitman's poetry today.
In the ’ two years that Dr. Baxter has been giving these readings he has discussed most of the writings of modern and 19th century poets.
He has attempted to read and comment on enough selections from each poet to cover the entire span of the poet’s work. Dr. Baxter expects the meetings, held in Bovard auditorium, to attract about 50 listeners. including members of the faculty and students.
Dr. Baxter announced that he will be glad to receive requests for readings, and will do his best to accommodate his audience.
The meetings started when a few years ago a group of Dr. Baxter’s upper-class students requested a chance to meet with him to discuss literature with no thoughts of quizzes or grades.
The readings will be held at 12 M. every possible Monday from now until next May. The schedule for the next month is:
October 21—Walt Whitman
October 28—Edmund Blunden November 4—Robert Frost November 18—Stephen Spender November 25—Mary Webb
'whqt happens next?' is question
Draftees Told to Sit Tight'
“Well, what comes next?" is the | question that approximately 1000 SC students have been asking themselves since registering for possible military senice last Wednesday.
The answer is "nothing—at least. : not yet.”
The local board of appeals has advised men to "sit tight." Phoning the offices for information will only obstruct proceedings, and registrants should await word via the mails, it was stated by official sources. Only men whose numbers have been drawn in the national lottery in Washington will receive these notices of conscription.
Students were advised by draft officials not to place too much emphasis on various forms of exemption. because few will be recognized. Only those physically unfit for senice. those confined in institutions. and government officials may expect to be exempt, the draft office stated last week.

"One out of 40 are about the chances each man has of being con- ^ scripted." Lieut. Col. Lewis A. Her-shey, executive officer of the federal draft board in Washington, pointed out to newspapers last week after the complete figures on the draft registration were in his office.
Approximately 9500 men registered in Los Angeles county, so. of that number. 237 can expect in the next six months, to be called for a year's military training.
The first call of 30.000 will be on November 18: the second call of 60.000. December 2; the third call of 60.000 will be January 3; the fourth call of 90.000. January 15; the fifth call of 160.000. February 10; the sixth call of 200.000, March

Uses of Radioactivity Chosen as Subject for Wednesday Talk
Dr. Charles S. Copeland, assistant professor of chemistry, will speak on “Radioactivity, Its Natural and Artificial Uses,” at the Wednesday lecture in the art and lecture room of the Edward L. Doheny Memorial library at 4:30 p.m.
Dr. Copeland, whose interests lie in the field of chemistry, received his degree of bachelor of art from the University of Wisconsin. He received his doctorate at the University of Minnesota, after styding under Dr. S. C. Lind, noted chemist.
HISTORY DISCUSSED
In his lecture Dr. Copeland will outline a history and background of radioactivity and atomic disintegration. He also plans to give his listeners an idea of the significance of modern work in this field.
“I don’t want to be too technical,” he declared, “although this is a technical topic. My main purpose is to give the people a general history and background of radioactivity, so that when they read newspaper accounts of this work, they will be able to understand the basic idea.”
ELEMENTS NAMED
Dr. Copeland* will also include in his talk a discussion of the natural radioactive elements, and in what fields they may be applied.
“If I have time,” continued Dr. Copeland. “I will discuss the various scientific and geological fields in which radioactivity is important.’ Radioactivity, he explained, is a subject considered comparatively new in the scientific world, having been in use for about 40 years.

Dramatists Efforts Reviewed by Reporter
By Judith Rubinstein
To an unenthusiastic audience of 34 persons, the Drama Workshop actors and actresses sacrificed themselves Friday night—victims of one-act plays.
The usual faults of one-act plays —lack of anything but the simplest of plots and liMess dialogue — doomed the plays before the actors had seen the scripts. Despite this, though, some superb dramatic performances were turned in by the cast of three plays, paced by scene-stealers Sherry Ardell in “Just Give It Time” and George Goldberg in “Extra.”
“Just Give It Time.” written by Anne Austin, is the ancient idea of a 16-year-old girl's infatuation for a “man of the world.” Happy ending comes when she finds out her mistake and returns, as a child, to her mother. Acting was slightly stilted, but the play was given buoyancy by Miss Ardell’s portrayals. j mind as Other members of the cast included esecaped Martha Nan Collins, Marian Smith, fanfare.

Lawrence Smith’s “He, She, and a Park Bench” is the ever-reappearing story of the hero, who, after spending a year-and-a-half away from home because his best girl broke their engagement and his heart, returns home, meets his former fiancee on a park bench, and finds she still cares. Touching, but illogical.
While almost any sophomore could have contributed at least half a dozen funnier lines than the author chose, the play occasionally rings true. Ree Hollis and Don Duke were the heroine and hero, while Harry Bennett staged it.
Fay Mitchell’s “Extra" is the story we’ve all heard about the young man. thwarted in his ambitions, who has too much pride to accept aid from anyone, including the girl who loves him. Denouement comes when he changes his
