eds Take Mozdok
[OSCOW, Monday, Jan. 4—(U.P) Russian troops rolling the Ger-1ns back from the gates of the |ozny oil fields in the east-central icasus yesterday captured the town of Mozdok which lies on Terek river and on the Rostov-spian sea railroad, a special so-communique said today, flattening the tip of the deepest rman salient thrust into south-Russia, the red army also cap-;d the town of Malgobek, 20 is southeast of Mozdok and 45
miles northwest of Grozny in the heart of the rich oil region of the same name.
The special communique was the second disclosure in as many days of smashing soviet successes in the Caucasus, where front dispatches said the developing red army drive threatened to split the German forces.
A day earlier the Russians cap tured Elkhotevo, 35 miles, southeast of Nalchik, and they now were reported pounding northward to-
ebaters Talk Their ay Across Country

SEYMOUR VINOCUR . . . loudest talker*
New Orleans today are Seymour Vinocur and John Baird, SC’s two topflight debaters, who are on the first lap of a speaking tour that will take them to 14 major colleges and universities in the country.
They will mix their western accent with the southern drawl as they engage debaters of Louisiana State university and Tulane on the question of a world federation of united nations.
Coached by Dr. Alan Nichols, professor of speech, the pair are holders of the western states collegiate debate title which they won in November.
GO TO CHICAGO1
Prom Louisiana the team will go to Illinois and meet Northwestern on Wednesday and the University of Chicago, Thursday. On the next day they will try to out-talk University of Iowa debaters, and if they aren’t too hoarse, will meet the University of Nebraska on Saturday.
Vinocur and Baird have proven to be a hard-to-beat combination which has monopolized speech events in tournaments at San Jose State college and Pepperdine college
ward Prokhladnenski, key junction town on the trunk line railway. The briefest high command communique of the long series marking the course of the red army’s winter offensive said:
“On Jan. 3 our advancing troops by a sudden blow captured the town and railway station of Mozdok. They also captured the town of Malgobek.”
Some of the bitterest fighting of the late summer raged in the area of Mozdok, 35 miles east of Prokhladnenski, as the German invaders strove to batter down the soviet defenses before the Grozny oil fields and lay open a course to the Caspian sea.
Thwarted there, the Germans swung their forces around to the area of Nalchik, 55 miles southwest of Mozdok, and drove through to the gates of Ordzhonikidze, terminus of the Georgian military highway through the mountains to the south Caucasus.
The first telling blow of the red army’s winter campaign hurled the invaders back from Ordzhonikidze.
The drive subsequently developed northwestward toward Nalchik, its latest result being the capture of Elkhotevo.

Gomperz Rites to be Tuesday Afternoon
Heinrich Gomperz, the German philospher who found liberty and freedom in America after fleeing from his beloved, but nazified, Austria, is dead.
Gomperz, 69, has been visiting professor of philosophy at SC since 1935. He conducted his seminar up until a few days of the holidays, became sick for a short period and died December 27.
Funeral services, which were deferred, will be held tomorrow at 3 p.m. in the chapel of Pierce Brothers mortuary, 720 West Washington blvd.
Born in Vienna in 1873, he taught at the University of Berne, Switzerland, and for 30 years was professor of philosophy at the University of Vienna. He devoted the major part of his life to the study of Greek philosophy and wrote 34 volumes on- the subject. In this work he was following in the path of his father Theodor Gomperz, who is noted for his translations into German of Greek and English philosophical studies.
In an autobiography sketch of himself he writes that he never subscribed to the creed of any school of philosophy, never professed any specific religion or church, nor belonged to any political party, (Continued on Page Four)
SC Educational Program. Stays Unaltered
Dr. Albert S. Raubenheimer, liaison agent for the reserve programs, made the following statement last night:
“Contrary to the interpretations made by students of the joint army-navy announcement of December 18, the academic program of the university will for the next semester continue essentially along present lines.
“For the majority of men students and all women, their educational program will not be seriously affected in the n^ar future.
“Under close study of the army and navy training programs students will discover that it is the objective of the armed services to have students as thorough-- ly trained as possible for their future responsibilities.
“I therefore appeal to students to take advantage of the opportunities that now are accorded them. Students should not hesitate to call on my office for information or assistance. The story in today’s Trojan gives the details of the service plans.”
Marine Corps
In regard to the Marine Corps Reserve, Dr. Raubenheimer made the following statement:
“While there has been no specific announcement about the marine corps reserve,* it must be remembered that the marine corps is, in general, governed by decisions of the navy. The local procurement office of the marine corps has instructed reserves to continue their studies as usual.”
Gough Given New Position
Lieut. Lewis K. Gough, USN, University of Southern California ’31 and former Trojan alumni secretary. has been appointed to the naval war college and will leave for Newport, R. I.
