Rain, Grades Catch Student Fancy Friday
“Three As and four Bs. .. boy, I’m in!”
Exclamations of happiness, dejection, and nonchalance drifted into the rain-soaked air around the entrance of Bovard auditorium Friday morning as Trojans learned the results of their first semester labors.
Although some, like the weather, were more downcast, others displayed broad, grinning countenances as the news spread that the term reports were out. Student will be able to obtain their grades today and for the remainder of this week.
With less than half the reports given to students at present, workers in the registrar’s office predict a deluge of Trojans during the day. Word that the treasured slips of paper were ready was not known until Friday morning when the line before the grade window had extended into the walk in front of Bovard.

SC Disagrees With Academy Over Oscars'
The disagreement of SC students with Hollywood over last year’s screen performances was brought into high relief recently when the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts, and Sciences announced the “Oscar” awards for 1940.
The recent SC poll indicated an overwhelming preference for Katherine Hepburn as the outstanding actress for her role in ‘‘The Philadelphia Story.”
ROGERS HONORED Members of the screen guild, however, awarded Ginger Rogers the honor for her portrayal of the title role in ‘ Kitty Foyle.”
Students voted Miss Rogers and Joan Fontaine into positions of honorable mention, both having run close seconds to Miss Hepburn.
SC's poll also disagreed in its choice of the year’s best picture. ■ Campus voting placed “Grapes of
SOFIA. March 3—(U.P.)— German mechanized forces, sweeping down 175 miles across Nazi-occupied Bulgaria, early today reached the vicinity of the Greek frontier to enforce a “peace ultimatum” which Adolf Hitler is reported to have served on the Greeks.
Authoritative quarters said the German “Panzer” vanguard was drawing into positions along Greece’s mountainous northern border barely 60 miles from strategic Salonika at the top of the Aegean.
HITLER WARNS GREECE
The arrival of the German forces there, presumably at the Struma valley passes, followed reports in Nazi quarters that Hitler has warned the Greeks that unless they submit to peace with Italy within a few days they will “suffer the consequences.”
Mechanized ‘ Panzer’’ troops carrying out the 'peaceful occupation” crossed the Danube from Rumania I over pontoon bridges at Ruschuk, i Lum and Vidini in what, according to frontier reports, seemed a never-ending stream.
From Lum and Vidini, it was said, the German forces struck southward across western Bulgaria by way cf Vratza and Sofia to Mesta and the Struma valley passes at the Greek frontier.
BLITZKRIEG NEAR
There the Germans would be at i the “hopping off point” for a blitz-, krieg attack on Greece’s strategic : Salonika — and also be menacingly ] near to the Dardanelles — if the Greeks refused to submit to a peace j with Italy.
Other German forces moved swiftly across eastern Bulgaria toward the frontier with Turkey, already heavilly fortified on both sides.
A reliable source close to Nazi quarters said that Germany, simultaneously with the occupation of Bulgaria, had served a virtual two-weeks ultimatum upon Greece.
NAZIS NEAR TURKEY
The German forces crossing into Bulgaria at Ruschuk were said to be striking southward to Plovdiv W rath ’ far ahead of the nearest ancj Tirnovo near the Turkish bord-
Recreation Croup Holds Nominations
New Women’s Association Conducts Assembly Today at 3:15 p.m. to Elect Candidates
Candidates for offices of the Recreation association, formerly the WAA, will be nominated at an assembly today in 205 Physical Education at 3:15 p.m.
All women interested in recreational sports are invited
to attend.
Officers to be nominated are: president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and activity recorder. Requirements for officers are as follows: a woman must have active membership in the association; a candidate should possess a 1.3 grade average with the exception of the president who is required to have a 1.5; the nominee must have served as a member of the WAA cabinet
“This is the first assembly of the association in three years,” said Erma Metz, president of the recreational group, “and because of the wide interest in it we hope to continue these in the future.”
Miss Metz w’ill explain the process of becoming a member of the organization and how women may earn a sweat-shirt and also activity points toward becoming an Amazon.
After this introductory explanation, Miss Bernice Finfer, club advisor, will be introduced and she will present the managers of the various sport clubs in the Recreational association.
An open discussion to include questions regarding the program for the coming year and the changing of the organization’s name will follow.
Because this assembly conflicts with the scheduled volleyball practice, credit will be given to women in the volleyball club who attend the assembly.
It is planned to ask men to a future assembly in which ideas for a coed sport program will be discussed.

contender, but the motion picture academy named David O. Selznick's “Rebecca” as the best production.
SC DISAGREES AGAIN Third major academic divergence j occured when students named Henry Fonda the best actor for his work in “Grapes of Wrath.” The film industry gave its accolades to lanky Jimmy Stewart.
The train of collegiate contradictions grew longer with the nomination of Jack Oakie as the best supporting actor for his part in “The Great Dictator.” Walter Brennan received an "Oscar'’ for that position because of his work in the “Westerner.” It is the third year in a row that Brennan has won the distinction.
CONCORDANCE REACHED But the fruit of SC's labor was not all lost. The guild affirmed student choice of Jane Darwell as the outstanding actress in a supporting role. Miss Darwell por- , trayed the part of Ma Joad in “Grapes of Wrath.”
Both polls elected John Ford as the best director of the year for his supervision of the same picture.
One-Act Dramas Presented Friday

Two of the dramas are about convicts. "The Valiant" has as ite plot the story of a man's trip to the electric chair and the attempts to identify him. “Land's End-’ is ! about a released convict seeking revenge for his imprisonment on a trumped up charge.
The plot of “If The Shoe Pinches” describes the actions of silly women buying shoes and having tea with a i princess.
er but it was not indicated whether they would enter the Maritza valley on the frontier itself.
Many quarters believed that the German high command would refrain from occupying the Bulgar-ian-Turkish frontier so as not to antagonize the Turks.
German warplanes, their black swastikas shining in the sun, circled over the city throughout the morning. Strolling Bulgarians watched their every move.
Jewish Council Dines
The Jewish student council will hold its semi-annual dinner tonight at 6 p.m. at the Casa de Rosas cafe.

Cromwell Writes
Track Book
Versatile Dean B. Cromwell has taken time out from coachirjp his Trojan track and field teams to national championship long enough to turn author, aided and abetted by Al Wesson, Troy’s director of athletic news.
The results of their combined efforts went on sale last Saturday in book stores all over the nation in a 312-page volume published by the McGraw-Hill Book company of New York.
In the book, bound in red and gold and entitled “Championship Technique in Track and Field.” the authors take one of the oldest sports in history and explain it event by event, going back to early times and bringing the reader up to the present in each event.
Each of the 15 chapters of the book is illustrated with photographs of present and former Trojan track and field stars. Among Troy’s athlete* pictured are co-Captains How-

ard Upton and Johnny Wilson, Bob Peoples, and Art Laret of the 1941 team, and Louis Zamperini, Mickey Anderson, Earl Vickery, Jim Humphrey, Ross Bush, and Hal Smallwood of recent championship teams.
The book is not only a scientific analysis for athletes and coaches, but it is aso intended to be of general interest to track and field fans.
It will be on sale starting today ln the Student Union book store.
Famous for his ability to develop track and field stars, Cromwell explains that it is the duty of the track coach to bring out and develop the latent ability of his pupils rather than to impose his own system upon them.
Discussing various methods of training for competition, Cromwell states that strict self-denial is not necessary, but that moderation and regular eating habits are the most important factors.
Dr. Tien-Lu Li Talk to Begin Annual Philosophy Series
What Confucius really says will be told by Dr. Tien-Lu LI the third Chinese philosopher to lecture at SC in as many weeks, tomorrow at 4:15 p.m. in Bowne hall of Mudd Memo*'al hall.

He taught first at his Chinese alma mater, instructing in the English language. After that, and before achieving his position as dean of the seminary, he was president of the Peking academy and dean of the School of Arts of Shantung Christian university.
