President
British Credit' to Be Debated at Lancer Lunch
The Lancers will meet for their second lecture-luncheon in the d»ing room of Elisabeth von KieinSmid hall at 12 M. tomorrow instead of Friday noon, as previously announced.
Bob Moody, general chairman of the organization, urges faculty members and students to attend the two-speaker lecture. PETTENGILL TO SPEAK
Dr. Robert B. Pettengill. associate professor of economics, and Robert Waring, secretary of the William Allen White committee to give aid to Great Britain, will both discuss the topic, “Credit to Britain.”
Dr. Pettengill feels that any participation in the present war would be “foolhardy and ruinous.” He declared that Britain wants America to finance the war and would like to make an “economic sucker" out of the United States.
Discrediting the term ‘loan.” he emphasized that any financial aid to Britain would be “just another World war loan.” and that, if America had to supply financial aid, she should be content to “give” it and not to “lend” it to Britain. BRITAIN IS DEPENDENT
Adversely. Mr. Waring who was state inheritance tax attorney for 11 years, contends that American economic interests, as well as cultural interests, depend upon the status of Britain, and that the status of Great Britain “depends upon the absolute economic support of the United States.”
Waring maintains that the Johnson act prohibiting extended credit to nations at war should be replaced. Not only does he support the shipment of war materials, he advocates participation in the war. if necessary.
Reservations may be made for 40 cents in the office of Dr. Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men. or in the office of Dr. Marv Sinclair Crawford, counselor of women.
“As we consider the arguments of the first school we may find ourselves agreeing with much for which they stand. Again, when the severists advance their ideas, we may find ourselves believing them for the most part,” explained Dr. Metfessel.
ATTITUDES VARY
“The treatment of criminals ln this country shows a similar cycle effect between leniency and severity. As long as the public feels secure, the cycle swings toward leniency. When crimes are more numerous and revolting, the cycle moves toward severity.
“Our general attitude toward treatment of offenders might be termed lenient-severity,” he concluded.
Dr. Metfessel also plans to outline the types of punishment inflicted on criminals. These types, he explains, include both physical and mental chastisement.
“More and more, however, we have moved toward pleasantness and away from unpleasantness In the treatment of offenders.”
He added that such a movement actually has occured because the conditions under which people live permit of leniency.
Young Orators Vie Tomorrow
Budding high school orators will converge on the campus tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. to compete in the southern Califomia high school debate tournament, which is sponsored annually by SC.
Twenty schools in scattered sections of the state are sending representatives for the speech meet.
In debate, 91 teams have entered, while other schduled events are oratory, oratorical declamation, and extempore.
The issue of states’ rights will be disputed, said Harry West, SC debate manager, when naming the debate question, "Resolved, that the powers of the federal government should be increased.”
Medals will be presented to winners in each event, with a sweepstakes trophy going to the school capturing a majority of the titles. This revolving trophy for all-round excellence becomes the permanent property of a school that wins for three years.
Tournament judges will be drawn from members of the faculty and varsity debaters.
lance: to history in a horse and buggy: to man and civilization in a milk truck; or to French in a fire engine . . . these might well be the modes of transportation as sorority girls compete in selling the 5-cent tickets for their organization's entry in the traditional event. The tickets are good for fare on any of the taxis, reports Betty Jo King, Taxi day chairman.
CARS BEGIN AT 8 A.M.
Rolling up and down University avenue from Old College to Mudd Memorial hall, the taxis will begin their search for riders just before 8 o’clock, and continue to transport fares to and from classes all morning.
“So that students will not cut classes to participate in Taxi day festivities,” Miss King said last night, “the taxis will not run during class time.”
PARADE SCHEDULED
Climaxing the day’s activities, the participating vehicles will parade at 1 p.m. before the judges’ stand situated on the parkway at University avenue and 36th street.
The judges, Charles Johnston, i ASSC president: Paul Ignatius, junior class president; Wesley Naye, sophomore class president; and Park Scott, freshman class president; and Dr. Milliam Davenport, English professor; will determine the winners on five points: funniness, originality, size, age, and performance.
“It is also required that the taxis do not break down while passing the judges’ stand,” Miss King adds.
Parade entries which have been reported are as follows:

Carols Planned for Assembly Tomorrow
SC Orchestra, Chorus Present Yule Program in Auditorium
The university orchestra and university chorus will combine to present a special Christmas program tomorrow at 9:50 a.m. in Bovard auditorium, under the direction of Dr. Lucien Cailliet, director of the university symphony orchestra.

Cailliet to Dired Messiah'
Choral Union Gives Handel’s Oratorio Tonight in Bovard
The SC choral union, soloists, and the symphony orchestra will unite this evening to present a performance of Handel’s “The Messiah” in Bovard auditorium at 8:30. Admission is free.
Dr. Lucien Cailliet, director of the SC symphony orchestra, will direct the entire performance in place of the assistant director of the School of Music, Dr. Max Krone, who is ill.
Produced in Dublin in 1742 for the first time, “The Messiah” was composed in three weeks by Handel. Most musical authorities recognize it as one of the most popular of the classical works.
MODERN STYLE USED
In the 18th century, little orchestrating was done, and Handel was no exception to this rule. He arranged his music for the violin and harpsichord only. Every conductor, therefore, must make his own transcription of the composition before presentation.
Some conductors attempt to write the score in the style of the 18th century, but Dr. Cailliet will interpret it in a more modem style.
“The Messiah” has three main sections: the first concerns the birth of Christ, and from this part comes the famous Christmas music.
Recitatives from the Messiah, orchestra and soloist; “Glory to God.” an offering of chorus and orchestra; “Christmas Fantaise,” a group of Christmas carols arranged by Dr. Cailliet and played by the orchestra.
Other selections will be two Christmas carols, “Silent Night,” and “Joy to the World,” sung by the chorus and audience accompanied by the orchestra. The last number on the program is the “Hallelujah” chorus from-the Messiah, with the chorus and orchest-tra.
Soloists who will appear on the program are Allen Hastings, tenor and Mary Lou Perry, soprano.
Westminster Club Meets Tomorrow
The Westminster club will meet tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. for a dinner-meeting at the Church of the Redeemer on 36th street and Vermont.
The Rev. Donald Gordon Stewart will be the speaker for the evening. He wBl deliver "The First Christmas Tree” by W. S. Van Dyke.
The price of the dinner will be 35 cents.
Scholarship Federation Meets Today
“A-students” will invade the SC campus when 350 members of the California Scholarship federation convene here today m their annual regional meeting.
Representing high schools in the metropolitan Los Angeles area, the delegates will gather in Bovard auditorium at 3:30 p.m. to hear Lawrence Pritchard, director of public relations, discuss university traditions and standards.
ASSC President Charles Johnston will welcome the members and introduce other student body officers. Following the assembly, Knights and Squires will conduct the honor society delegates on tours about the campus.

“Wampus will go on sale at 9:50 a.m. today,” Editor Dick Mulcahy announced yesterday.
The Christmas issue marks the 21st anniversary of Wampus publications which began in December 1919. A picturesque reproduction of the first Wampus cover and an article describing Ezra Currier. Troy’s oldest graduate, will feature eras of the past as a follow-up for Homecoming week.
Dick Snavely, last years art editor, has drawn a three-color cover with a cartoon of Santa Claus giving a helmet to a professor who has just received draft No. 158.

Pictures of the Pan-Hel dance, “The Month in Review,” and “Murder” will cover events that have occured since the last issue; and a story on the Lancers and a humorous feature of “jokes so old they’re new” will make for variety.
