Lecturer Tells Religious Need in Present War
Democracy comes the long, hard way of social struggle, Dr. Walter G. Muelder, professor of Christian theology, will maintain in his talk to the Wednesday lecture audience this afternoon.
He will speak on ‘ Social Distress, Humanitarian Values, and the Present Crisis ’ at 4:30 in the art and lecture room of Doheny library.
NEED OF VALLES
“Democracy’s survival depends on 1 the commitment of men to ‘eternal’ J values which have a longer perspec-! tive than immediate advantage over j the enemy,” he will point out.
Tlie quest for the conservation of ; democracy and of freedom, he will i show, is one with the preservation 1 of humanitarian values in society.
The differences between the state and society must be kept distinctly in mind in the concern of the democratic idea, he states.
“To obliterate them, as Mac Iver says, seems to be the essence of totalitarianism in any of its forms," 1 he continues. "Conversely, it is of the essence of democracy to affirm | the distinction.’*
RELIGIOLS FAITH ESSENTIAL
i The preservation of humanitarian values is inseparable from a religious faith, he declares. The serious-! ness of the present crisis is due to , the fact that religious faith itself is the issue.
“Much of our social confusion,” he says, “lies in the fact that the nation and the world does not real-i ly know what it wants.”
“We may take heed from China where more students are in college now than at the beginning of the war,” Professor Muelder declares.

Hut Sale Reported Large
Students Purchase $100 in War Stamps During First Day
Topping the record of previous sales of stamps on campus, the Tommy Trojan Victory Hut successfully completed its inauguration on the campus yesterday.
Moved to the main porch of the administration building because of the rain, the Hut nevertheless took in $100 in exchange for stamps. Women who were in charge of the Hut were members of the YWCA cabinet. They were directed by Mildred Saunders.
The Hut is a red, white, and blue building which fits conveniently into the walk in front of Tommy Trojan. It is movable, but is a permanent wooden building. Yesterday it made its first bow to its public at 9 a.m.
EXPECTATIONS EXCEEDED
The Associated Women Students cabinet, which is sponsoring the Hut, reported through its committee chairman, Dorothy LaFollette, that the success of the Hut had exceeded expectations.
Miss LaFollette reminded students that loose 25 cent stamps required for tomorrow night’s Glenn Miller rally can be purchased at the Hut.
Tommy Trojan's Victory Hut is the featured attraction for the Victory Week activities, which included the dig on Monday and the rally tomorrow. The Hut is to be open three days of every week, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Each day a different campus group will be in charge of the Hut.
OFFICIALS ARE HAPPY
The fact that SC is the first university or college campus to have such a Victory house for the sale of war stamps was pointed out by treasury officials.
“We are proud of the enthusiasm shown by the students,” one official said.
Today members of the Trojan Amazons will man the hut under the direction of Marjorie Anderson. Those members who will report at the different hours of the day are as follows:
9 to 10 a.m.—Marjorie Anderson, Hermina Levy; 10 to 11 a.m.—Mildred Eberhard, Louise Larson, Sherry Ardell; 11 a.m. to noon—Dorothea Tilton; noon to 1 p.m.—Jeanne Keeler; 1 to 2 p.m.—Dorothea Tilton. Corinne Bames, Evelyn Curfman; 2 to 2:30 p.m.—Dorothy Hepp, Charlotte Quinn. Miss Anderson requested any member of the organization who has free periods at hours when the Hut is open to report to the Hut for duty.

Program
Changed
Raubenheimer Tells Recent Alterations in V-1 Plan
Dean Albert Sydney Raubenheimer, university representative for the V-l naval program, announced yesterday the following changes in the program which have been incorporated into the plan by the Bureau of Navigation:
(1)	A student at the time of his enlistment will indicate his choice for either V-5 or V-7. The student may change his choice later if he desires.
(2)	Students who thus indicate their desire for future V-5 status will thereby become eligible to take civilian pilot training during the freshman or sophomore year.
(3) Under the original V-l plan, a student who for any reason failed to remain in college for two years or who failed to pass the V-l classification examination with a sufficiently high grade was immediately put into active service as a V-l apprentice seaman. Under the new plan, any student in V-l who fails to remain in college or fails to pass the examination will be permitted to go to one of the navy’s flight training centers providing he can pass both the physical and mental examinations for prospective aviation officers. The mental examination will consist primarily of an intelligence test, which in the future will be given to all candidates for flight training. It is now possible for these students to become commissioned officers rather than apprentice seamen.
(4) The standards for .the V-l physical examination will continue to be those applying for apprentice seamen.
Dean Raubenheimer adds that sophomores under the age of 20 who are completing their sophomore work in June, and who are planning to enlist for ,the V-l program leading to V-5 and V-7 classification should enlist before the end of the present semester.
If these men enlist now, they will be allowed to remain in college for one more calendar year and take the qualifying examinations for the V-5 and V-7 programs in March, 1943.
College presidents from the southern California area met yesterday to receive information for qualifying their institutions for participation in the V-l program. Dr. Robert L. Stearns, president of the University of Colorado, was in charge of the meeting. SC was represented by Dr. Raubenheimer, dean of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences. Dr. Stearns is among seven educators who have been appointed by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox to counsel on academic problems relating to ,the navy.
Russians Prepare for Spring Drive
I**
by United Press
Vast streams of Russian troops were reported moving into battle positions on Europe’s eastern front Tuesday at a moment when Hitler’s attention was diverted to the west by turmoil in France and rumors of an impending American-British invasion.
The Russians were heading for a showdown with Hitler and were reported ready to begin the scheduled big spring offensive themselves if he did not strike quickly. Roads | leading to the front were jammed with marching Red-army men and I “mountains” of battle equipment.
1 Reserves, trained during the winter, and veterans, recuperated from wounds, were going into positions along the whole 1200-mile front. Red Star, the Soviet army organ, said the new troops would be assigned to secondary defense sectors only five to seven days before going into battle.
NO SIGNS OF OFFENSIVE
There still were no signs that the vaunted German spring offensive was in the offing.
There were reports, on the contrary, that Hitler was sending 15 divisions of reinforcements to western Europe, where 18 already are stationed under Marshal von Rund-
stedt, to guard the coastline from the French-Spanish border to the northern tip of Norway against a united nations offensive.
Norwegian government spokesmen in London said several new German divisions had reached Norway and that in the past 10 days, since Gen. George C. Marshall, U. S. army chief-of-staff, visited Britain, German pillboxes and barbed wire defenses were being thrown up hurriedly at possible landing spots on the Norwegian coast.
GERMANS SLAY FRENCH
London also reported that a division of German parachutists had reached occupied France and that German sappers were mining the vicinity of the Belgian-French border.
In France, the Germans struck ruthlessly to put down a reign of violence coinciding with the rise to power of Pierre Laval. Another 20 French hostages were shot at St.

Firewatcher Says SC Blackout Not Complete

Debate Squad Ends Season
^2-/
Concluding one of me "most successful seasons in recent years, the debate team of Capt. Edward McDonnell and Seymour Vinocour last week attended the 19th annual conference of the Pacific Forensic league and added further honors to their long list.
McDonnell placed third in oratory and Vinocour placed first in extemporaneous speaking, received the highest ranking possible in progression discussion, and made the finals of the after-dinner speaking.
The team has been victorious in 37 out of 43 debates this year, including first places in such events as the Pi Kappa Delta Pacific province debate tournament and the Western States Teachers of Speech tournament, held at Ogden, Utah.
Other victories include debate contests in the LACC invitational tournament and the Southern California Tournament association’s event at Pepperdine college.
dents remain inside the buildings during a black out and that they should proceed immediately to the designated emergency rooms. If a person must smoke, he said, he should go into a closet, close the door, and light his cigarette. The shades must be pulled down if smoking is to be done in a room.
Black out regulations were being flaunted by students all over the campus, Knadjian said, and this would have been a very serious situation in the event of an air raid. Buildings were showing lights, and large groups of students were gathered in the streets using flashlights and carelessly lighting and smoking cigarettes, despite strict regulations forbidding any persons except authorized air raid officials to remain outside.
SMOKING DISCUSSED
“A person lighting a cigarette doesn’t realize what a bright light he makes. There were so many groups assembled in front of the buildings that all of them could not be contacted and warned of the dangerous thing that they were doing.” the firewatcher stated. There is a $25 fine for the use of any type of light by civilians,” he said. Flashlights may not be used unless the lenses are carefully covered with blue paper, leaving only a narrow slit for the light, and then they may be used only for emergencies.
Lights were showing in several buildings, Knadjian said, and the whole basement of the Physical Education building was ablaze with light. Some of the buildings were improperly blacked out, and when students opened the doors to go in or out there were bright flashes of light. There were lights showing in the Law building, Bridge hall, and Aeneas hall, among others, he reported.

Japanese
Fear of More Raids * May Bring Planes, Ships Closer to Home
BT UNITED PRESS
Parts of Japan’s main island, upon which vital war industries and naval and air bases are located, were under air raid alarm again yesterday (Tuesday), the axis radio reported, and. on other fronts, too, the battle for Asia and the western Pacific ocean was going somewhat better for the united nations.
There were indications that the Japanese were extremely nervous at the prospect of repeated aerial attacks and it seemed a good guess that more of their airplanes and warships would be kept in home waters.
On the basis of Tuesday's developments there was no ground for belief that an early and effective general offensive against the Nipponese could be started during this year but there were indications that Australia and possibly India, might be spared from wholesale invasion.
Worst spots in the picture were the vital Indian ocean zone, where the Japanese still appeared to be menacing allied communication lines to the middle east, and in Burma and the Philippines. Best guess was that British and American convoy3 to .the middle eastern war theater, nearly all of which must pass through the Indian ocean, would suffer heavily during the coming months and that Burma and the Philippines, for a time, would be entirely lost.
If the Japanese can be held and harassed enough during this year, however, there was a prospect .that, by 1943, when the United States gets into full stride, they might be given real body blows.
Tuesday’* developments included:
