By United Press
Prof. Douglas Miller of the University of Denver, a former commercial attache in Germany, told the Institute of World Affairs last night that “We can never be entirely safe and secure as long as Hitler and his fellow dictators live and thrive.'*
“Neither can *Hitler and company* feel safe as long as we remain unconquered,'’ he said.
Professor Miller said in event this country were forced to do business with the totalitarian powers. “we would have to operate under rules laid down by the dictators. There is no such thing as a fair break for both parties.” “For instance." he said, “American firms would be required to ship their goods on German boats, im German Insurance companies.
make a contract enforcible under German law, and provide, at their own expense, German inspectors.
“There is no such thing as having pure economical relations with the totalitarian states. Every business deal is given political, military. social, cultural, and propaganda implications.
“No one has ever made an agreement with Hitler but has later regretted it.”
He said an American newsreel firm desiring pictures of German trocps in action was told it must agree to distribute German propaganda in South America.
In dealing with Sweden, he said, Germany demands a complete list of each firm’s employees. These are checked against reports from Nazi agents and all Jews and anti-Nazi persons are dismissed.
Graduates Plan Entertainment
Party Games Catch Social ‘Slum-combers’
Prof. O. G. Wottaschnozzle. he of comic strip fame, is busy making plans for a party he is tossing Thursday evening for “slum-combers” of the Graduate School of Social Work. The learned gentleman has arranged to stage the affair from 8 till 11 p.m. in the social lounge on the third floor of the Student Union.
At present Wottaschnozzle is forcing great pressure upon his renowned ljrain in devising plans for entertainment.
He announced that one form will be “bridge as social workers play it.” This somewhat unique system shuffles about (or ignores) the rules of the game so that it makes the social workers “face unanticipated problems.”
The professor has also thought up a subsidy race, which tests the ability of the runners to express themselves eloquently enough to obtain “gratis-in-aid.” Wottaschnozzle’s real brainchild, however, appears in the person of Oscar Twerp, whom the professor describes as a “cute redhead of the Tyrone Power type.”
Oscar is a foundling who will inspire a “foster-home placement” contest. The participants will compete to see who can obtain the best placement for the orphan. (Twerp, by the way, was found in an ash can behind Elisabeth von KieinSmid hall.)
Tickets for this educational affair are obtainable in the office of the graduate school, or from Edward Mueller, who is chairman of the party and who is acting as Wottaschnozzle's right-hand man.
The latest report from O. G. indicates that he will attend the fete impersonating that great who’s who, Yehudi.
Japanese Trojans Plan Annual Dance
The Hawaiian village will be the scene of the annual Christmas dinner-dance sponsored by the Japan-ese-Trojan club next Friday at 8:30 pm.
Dinner and Hawaiian leis are included in the $3.75 bids for the affair. Corsages will not be worn.
Reservations may be made by telephoning Shig Masuoka, Federal 5914, or by contacting any cabinet members of the club on campus.
The Hawaiian village is located at 19637 South Vermont avenue.
Wampus Ages Mulcahy Avers as Issue Nears
Three-Color Cover Distinguishes Special Christmas Edition
The appearance of the Wampus tomorrow at 9:50 a.m. will mark the 21st anniversary of its first publication in December, 1919.
A special Christina# cover in three colors drawn by last year’s art editor, Dick Snavely, satirizes the fact that Wampus is now a man.
Within will be a reproduction of the first Wampus cover, and to further develop the theme of bygone days, an article explaining the return of Ezra Currier, Troy’s oldest graduate, will appear.
LANCER FUNCTIONS DEPICTED
A description of Lancer non-org functions and a history of the play productions growth will illustrate the development of these two organizations.
The issue will feature a double spread of pictures covering the recent Pan-Hel formal dance in the Fiesta room of the Ambassador hotel; “The Month in Review,” a picture series of outstanding news-events that have occured on campus since the last issue; and the latest campus “Murder” will offet the reader variety.
FEATURES OLD JOKES
Editor Dick Mulcahy described a new series of articles on humor. For this month, members of the staff completed an assortment of jokes drawn from issues as far back as 1919 with contemporary excerpts from other college humor magazines. The procession of humor styles through the years differs only in taste, not in content, Mulcahy said.
He added that students will have a hard time distinguishing between old and new quips.
Lancer women will compete with sorority members in handling Wampus sales this month.
Tickets went on sale last night, according to Betty Jo King, general chairman, and may be purchased today from sorority representatives. The 5-cent tickets are good on all the taxis, Miss King emphasizes.
The vehicles, which range from horse and buggy contraptions to Rolls Royces, and from ambulances to fire engines, will play their trade up and down University avenue between classes tomorrow. SILVER TROPHY AWARDED
Vying for the silver trophy award each year for the most amusing and original entry, the taxis will parade before the judges’ stand at University avenue and 36th street at 1 p.m.
Judges are: Charles Johnston, ASSC president; Park Scott, freshman class president; Wesley Naye, sophomore president; Paul Ignatius, junior president; and Dr. William Davenport, faculty representative.
A second award, a perpetual plaque, will be given to the sorority selling the most tickets. Donated by the student book store is a $3 compact for the member of the winning house with the greai est! individual sales record.
SC TRADITION EMPHASIZED
“Taxi day follows a tradition of SC women which not only affords fun and transportation but also does a service in benefiting women who need financial help to complete their educations,” AWS President Kay Dodds commented yesterday in urging students to buy the nickel tickets.
Taxi day committee chairmen under the direction of Miss King, general chairman, are Mary Lu Last, tickets; Bett" Johnson, drivers; Mary Prince. , ->sters; Dorothy Patterson, contacts; and Barbara Best, publicity.
Publishers Offer Commercial Debut of Student Shows
Commercial publication of music composed by SC students is an added feature that ASCAP and BMI will offer to musicians who write good scores for the all-U musical show.
This announcement came through Steve Zorich, chairman of the script committee, yesterday.
“Aside from the music accepted for our show,” said Zorich,” Broadcasters Music incorporated and the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers have offered to review all the good scores submitted with the possibility that they can publish them.
“Even if the musical compositions are not suitable for the Trojan musical show because of the story that the script follows, they will be reviewed by BMI and ASCAP,” he concluded.
These two associations are vying for new songs and the field ls open to fresh talent.
Scripts are due in the associated student body office January 2. Students who submit scripts are not responsible for the production.
