SC Coeds Voted Queens by Engineers
Who, according to the students of the College of Engineering, are the most beautiful girls in the world? Members of Earl Carroll’s famous show? Guess again.
The SC coeds have more beauty, personality, charm, and brains in the opinion of future builders of America.
These results were obtained in a recent poll in which 78 per cent of the engineering majors voted for local beauties. Earl Carroll’s girls received a number of votes, and UCLA ran a poor third.

Adrian to Speak at Open Meeting
“Glamour and Its Place in American Design” is the tcpic on which Adrain, motion picture costume designer, will address an open meeting on campus at 8:15 p.m. on Thursday, November 14.
He first achieved success when he designed the costume which his partner wore to the Grand Prix ball in Paris, while he was attending the School of Applied and Fin* Arts there.
The gown attracted the attention of Irving Berlin, who was present and he offered the young designer an opportunity to return with him to New York to design costumes for the "Music Box Revue.” Adrain accepted this offer.
Following this success, he went to Hollywood where he made his debut by designing costumes for Rudolph Valentino. After that he spent three years working for Cecil B. DeMille before being employed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer where he now maintains his own studio.
Sorority Initiates Five Members
Gamma Alpha Chi. national women’s advertising sorority, initiated five new members last Thursday evening in the Little Chapel of Silence.
The initiates were Georgia Gordon. Mary Lou Last, Virginia Moore, and Barbara Hagen.
Miss Evelyn Wells, secretary to the director of the School of Mer-chanaising. was initiated as an honorary member.
Thurston Will Attend SDX Convention
Elected as the official delegate of the SC chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalistic fraternity, Emory Thurston left the campus last night for Des Moines, Ia., to attend the fraternity's 25th national convention.
Thurston will represent the local chapter in all business sessions of the fraternity, the only professional fraternity in journalism and the largest professional organiza-I tion in journalism.
At Dr. von KleinSmid's suggestion, the $200 will be applied to the SC Community Chest fund when it is received from UCLA.
The assembly climaxed a one-week drive on campus for funds for the 1940-41 Community Chest, and it was given for the specific purpose of encouraging contribution to the Chest.
BUSSE FEATURED
Henry Busse and his orchestra played the famous Busse “shuffle rhythm” on the program, and Dr. Giovanni, well-known pickpocket comedian, astonished Trojans with his dexterity in taking watches, pens, sweaters, and wallets from students chosen from the audience.
Two of the nine UCLA students who sabotaged the SC bonfire. Bob Hchmann, son of Los Angeles’ chief of police, and Jess Ranker, both members of Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity at Westwood, were brought before the audience to describe how they perpetrated the deed. The other seven Bruins were not captured.
$100 DONATED
Over $100 was contributed by students to solicitors outside the doors of Bovard hall after assembly. The $750 goal had not been reached by Friday afternoon, since all of the pledges made by fraternities and sororities had not yet been fulfilled.
Charles Johnston, ASSC president, stated Friday, however, that he believed that “the quota will be reached by Tuesday.” Johnston stated that students had been cooperative in the drive and expressed the thanks of both Syd Barton and himself to the students who had contributed to the Community Chest fund.
Slogan Entries Swamp
Contest Judges
Committee Is Working to Choose Winner From 200 Submitted
Deluged with a barrage of more than 200 slogans in the Homecoming theme contest, the judging committee was still in a quandary yesterday and unable to decide the winner of the idea fracas.
“We have several good slogans,” said Dick Keefe, promotion chairman. He explained that it was the choice between these entries which have the judges puzzled, but said the committee would, announce the winner by tomorrow.
TWO TICKETS OFFERED
Zero-hour for entries was last Friday noon and 100 slogan blanks were stuffed into the ballot boxes in a last minute rush of seekers for the two 50-yard Notre Dame-SC football tickets offered as the prize.
The winning slogan will reach more than 22.000 alumni directly in the effort to attract attention to SC’s 1940-41 annual Homecoming. The general public will also hear the slogan through the metropolitan press, radio, window displays, and posters.
TO PREPARE EVENTS
Following the announcement tomorrow of the winner and the mailing of the special alumni folders, attention will swing to preparations for the various events planned for the four-day Homecoming celebration beginning December 4.

Italians Retreat
BITOLJ, Jugoslav-Greek Frontier. Nov. 11—<UJ*)—'The Italian forces based on Koritza started an offensive at 10 a.m. today, shelling Greek units in fortified positions on the south slope of the Morova mountains, it was reported here today.
Scientists Change Voices of Canaries
Even the warbling canary is feeling the modern-day trend toward invasion of all male realms by those of the gentler sex.
Four female canaries in laboratories of the University of Southern Califomia have been the subjects of experimentation which enabled each to produce song comparable to that of the male, who has. heretofore, been the sole possessor of singing ability in the canary family.
Dr. Francis Marsh Baldwin, professor of zoology; Dr. Milton F. Metfessel. director of the SC psychological laboratory, and Howard S. Goldin, research assistant, in zoology, have been conducting the experiments.
Dr. Baldwin says the experiment
involves the administration of testosterone propionate, or male hormone, to female roller canaries.
“It is our conclusion that the administration of testosterone proportionate to normal adult female roller canaries under conditions of complete song isolation brings forth male-like song in approximately fifteen days after the first administration. thus substantiating previous theories,’’ Dr. Baldwin re-jported.
The songs developed exhibit a small repertoire with poor male quality, but with a voice that was definitely male in character, they reported. Cessation of treatment resulted in a return to the ordinary female calls.
Von KieinSmid to Head Meet
Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid will preside at the World Affairs assembly to be held next Saturday at the Vista del Arroyo hotel in Pasadena.
The guest speaker at the dinner will be Dr. Alfred Noyes, noted English author and poet who resides on the Isle of Wight. Recently arrived from the European conflict, he will talk on “Observations of the War from the South Coast of England.”
Dr. Chester Rowell, commentator who recently served on a national commission in Washington, will also speak. His topic is “Latest Developments in War Issues.”
Clubs Sponsor Dig to Provide Holiday Baskets
Sponsored for the purpose of providing Thanksgiving baskets for the needy, the YWCA, World Friendship, and Social Service clubs plan an all-U-dig next Monday in the women’s gymnasium. Admission will be either some canned goods or a small contribution of money.
Fraternity and sorority members who wish to contribute may bring their donations to their regular Monday meetings. “Flying squads” will go to the houses and pick up the canned food. When the collection is complete, service women will distribute the baskets to needy persons.
The service clubs will use 'the money that is paid for admission to buy milk, bread, and vegetables. The committee in charge of contributions asks that students do not bring canned soups.
The two service organizations are joining this year in taking charge of the annual dig to make the drive more extensive. Previously, the Social Service club was in charge of the dance.
Hohmann, Ranker Acclaimed by Bruins for Rally Fire Coup Friday Morning
Minus their hair, but still possessed of the same confidence of four days ago, two UCLA youths today await action by their university officials on their premature firing of the SC bonfire in the early morning hours Friday.
They are Robert Hohmann. 18-year-old son of the Los Angeles chief of police, and Jess Ranker, 21. both pledges of Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity at UCLA.
Only four days ago they were lucklessly caught at the bottom of a pile of irate Trojan bonfire guards, incensed at the pair’s successful igniting of the huge pyre near La Brea and Exposition boulevards.
INQUIRY EXPECTED
Today, as Hohmann and Ranker
embarrassingly resume classes on the Westwood campus. Dr. William Miller, dean of undergraduates, contemplates proceedings which may be instituted against them by their university.
“Their case will be considered by the proper committees in a day or two," Dean Miller promised late yesterday, “but it is impossible to say now what action will be taken.” He stated definitely that Hormann and Ranker will be interviewed by officials regarding their prank.
NO SC ACTION PLANNED
SC administrative heads planned no formal protest over the incident. Student officials, impressed by the sportsmanship of Hohmann and Ranker, even were considering framing a request to UCLA officials, pleading for leniency in any contemplated action.
The two culprits who mined Trojans’ hopes for an enthusiastic bonfire rally were acclaimed as heroes on their UCLA home campus late Friday following their release by Trojan captors. They were paraded up and down sorority and fraternity rows and received the cheers of the student-body in whose name they claimed their coup d'etat.
TREATMENT PAINFUL
As an anti-climax to their eventful day, Hohmann and Ranker narrowly escaped hospital confinement Friday when they incurred bums while removing paint from their bodies. Application of carbon tetrachloride and turpentine combined to produce what their doc-(Continued on Page Four)
