The charm was given to Shell at last year's banquet by film star Edward Arnold with instructions that it was to be a charm for Trojan success in the 1939 season—and it was.
The banquet, to be in the dining room of the University club, is to honor the 1940 Trojan varsity and assure them of the alumni's loyal support. This year, as always, the banquet is a complete sell-out.
M06t of the players have signified their intentions to attend. Transportation from the universify will be furnished.
Dr. James McCoy, past president of the Alumni association, will give the key address. A film especially prepared by Fox Movietone News which shows the 1939 Trojans in action throughout the entire season wil be shown.
Traditionally, since the annual banquet was begun three years ago. all attending players have received a token of appreciation of their ability. Sophomores receive gold chains; juniors, gold knives. This year for the first time, seniors will receive separate gifts.
Four sports representatives of the local press, Ned Cronin of the News, Paul Zimmerman of the Times, George T. Davis of the Herald-Express. and Al Santoro of the Examiner, will attend.

Freshmen Defy SC Tradition; Bibles' Missing
For the information of freshmen, the freshman •‘Bible” is a student handbook which may be obtained free in the Student Union Bookstore.
Also for the information of freshmen, one of SC’s oldest written traditions states. “Freshmen always carry their ‘Bibles’ while on campus.”
Friday afternoon, a Daily Trojan reporter informally tested 30 freshmen by asking for their Student handbooks. Of the 30, none had his “Bible.” Most wanted to know “Where can I get one?” or “What are they?”

Potential CAA Students Told to Enroll Now
Prof. S. F. Duncan, program chairman of the Civil Areonautics j authority primary training course, announced Friday that the program must start October 1 in order to be completed by the deadline of January 31. Interested students besides those who have submitted applications and as yet have not reported back for the interview are urged to contact the professor at his office. 215 Engineering build-' Ing. today, tomorrow', or Wednesday afternoon at 1:30.
A desire to fly in no way satisfies the requirements, as the applicants are chosen on the scholastic average, general appearance, and particularly intensity of interest. Because the ground-school work includes the study of navigation and meteorology, a background including physics and trigonometry is exceeding helpful.
The entire course will take about 160 hours of student's time. During this period two or three flying lessons a week will be essential.
Professor Duncan stated that a suprising number of students have expected a salary of $50 a month to accompany the course. Also a few complaints have been registered over the fact that 160 hours are rewarded by only one unit credit. “Even without credit the course would still be worthwhile,” Duncan said.

Theta Xis Lose $35 to Burglar
Investigation by University Police Fails to Reveal Identity of Housebreaker
Burglars yesterday struck on fraternity row and relieved the Theta Xi fraternity, 811 West 28th street, of $35. The burglary occurred sometime between 4:30 and 8 o’clock in the morning. It was the first case of housebreaking of the current school year.	*--
Approximately a dozen houses were victimized last semester.
The thief displayed a partiality to bills, leaving all loose change.
There was no loss of either clothing or jewelry reported.
Entry was gained through the unlocked front door by the housebreaker who then went unnoticed through the study rooms. He was neither seen nor heard by any of the members.
Among the heaviest losers were Don Duke, $9; Cecil Saunders, president, $8; Morton Block, $5; Hans Trepp. $4; and Ralph Kyllonen, $4.
University police called about 10 o'clock yesterday morning and made a complete search of the premises, but failed to uncover any evidence.
As insurance against any further happenings, police advised the house members to “sleep on their money.”
Burglaries of this nature were frequent occurences last year with the victims losing jewelry, money, and clothing. Police at that time warned that the open doors and windows of the houses were an invitation to prowlers.

Von KieinSmid Describes Duty of Trojan Men
“Instead of accepting positions in industry not requiring education, the young man should fulfill his patriotic duty in this time of stress
“Today our nation has many vital needs that can be supplied only by minds trained in college,” Dr. von KieinSmid said.
The president emphasized the importance of cooperation between students and faculty in order that the mutual dependence of learner and instructor might lead to the most interesting and fruitful results.
Charles Johnston, president of ASSC, welcomed the new and returning students. Dr. von KieinSmid presented Captain Reed M. Fawell, USN, retired, professor of naval science and tactics; and Lt. Com. Dewitt C. Watson, USN. retired, executive officer, Naval ROTC.

enough to be effective for the support and maintenance of troops would require methods that have hitherto been unknown to either the army or to commerce.
‘‘To unload 900 tons of cargo per I hour is the present maximum, requiring the largest known cranes lifting from holds that permit maximum operation.” said the SC authority. “The average unloading speed is from 300 to 500 tons per hour and even though the Germans were equipped to handle material at this speed it would take from eight to ten hours to unload a large vessel. During the entire process the operators would be subjected to bombardment by the English which only retards discharge.
“Too, it would require several thousand carriers of all types. Should they be able to reach the shores of England the problem of finding the necessary docks to tie to would add to Hitler's difficulties. Large vessels cannot be unloaded without proper docking facilities and many of these have been destroyed or bombed by the Germans themselves,” continued Dr. Carus.
“During the first World War. when land units and troops were major features, the proportion of men required to support those in the front lines was approximately However, with operations conducted by ocean carriers, the ration is necessarily much greater and more difficult.” continued Dr. Carus.
expressed a hope that the students of SC will take the opportunity of seeing the paintings.
“I have placed my very life into these portraits, and I really hope that the students of Southern California will take it upon themselves to enjoy them,” Mrs. Fisher declared.
PRIVATE WORKS OFFERED
“I have donated these masterpieces for that purpose, and I know the portraits will inspire students to higher ideals,” Mrs. Fisher added.
Also, if the students enjoy these portraits and desire to see more, they are invited to come to Mrs. Fisher’s home and see her new portraits which she recently purchased from the Downman’s of England. These portraits were sold by the Downman’s only to raise money for the present war crisis.
FAVORITE SHOWN
One of Mrs. Fisher’s favorite paintings on exhibit at the gallery is the portrait, “Mr. John Utter-son of Fareham, Hampshire,” done in 1769 by the American painter
