Land, Air, Sea Battle Rages in Solomons as Navy Announces Loss of New Ship, Wasp
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26—(U.P.)—A great land, air, and sea battle is ragirtg in the Solomons, with both U.S. and Japanese battle fleets suffering heavy damage, it was announced tonight by. the navy department which earlier had revealed the loss of the new and speedy U.S. aircraft carrier Wasp in
that area six weeks ago while covering reinforcement operations.
The communique reported the American land forces holding against renewed Jap assaults on Guadalcanal island, but said that in a naval engagement northeast of the island on Monday < Solomon time) the U. S. S. destroyer Porter was sunk and one of our aircraft carriers severely damaged, while two enemy aircraft carriers sustained undetermined damage.
DETAILS INCOMPLETE In this engagement, the communique said, other U. S. vessels reported lesser damage.
Details of this sea batt*, possibly one of the largest of the Pacific war, still are incomplete.
In other operations in the last two days, U. S. planes bombed and damaged three enemy cruisers.
The Japs appeared to be hurling all their might into a gigantic effort to regain positions which they lost Aug. 7 when the marines stormed ashore on Guadalcanal and nearby islands.
ASSAULT PROVES FUTILE The latest land attack against the soldiers and marines occurred early on the morning of Oct. 25 and was the eighth futile Jap assault on the American positions on Guadalcanal in the last eight days.
This time, however, the Japs tried to find a soft spot in the American southern flank. The previous seven attacks were directed against the western flank.
In the air, Japanese and American fliers waged a . furious duel which has cost the enemy 22 more

Longshoremen Positions Open
SC Men Urged to Help War Effort
Stressing cooperation with the war effort, Mrs. Iva Custer, assistant director of employment, urges men students to sign up for part-time work as longshoremen unloading cargo ships in San Pedro. They may fill out applications this week in the employment office and must bring with them individual photographs 1% inches by 1% inches.
Pay will be at the rate of $1.10 an hour for single work periods of about 12 hours, the maximum time allowed by the army for unloading the vessels which must leave the harbor shortly after with cargoes of arms and machinery for foreign ports.
Men students who sign up for this work will be on call and notified whenever they are needed for immediate duty, said Mrs. Custer.
She revealed that the government needs 500 students as part-time longshoremen on the San Pedro docks, and that the university is cooperating to the fullest extent to aid in this phase of the war effort.
Transportation and gas problems need not cause any student to keep from signing up, she emphasized.
Among other universities whose students are actively engaged in aiding the war effort are Washington State college, the University of Washington, and the University of California at Berkeley, all of whose students turned out in large numbers to aid in northern harvests.

Aid to Students to Be Discussed by Legislators
Selection of a war board chairman and the discussion of a campaign to raise money for the world student service fund will be the highlights of this evening’s student senate meeting, Bob McKay, ASSC president, announced yesterday.
“Plans for the university’s war board have already been approved by the senate, and all we lack now is a chairman,” McKay who has been acting as ex-officio chairman of the board, declared.
It will be the duty of the chairman to supervise the activities of the war board, appoint special committees, and serve as an ex-officio member of the student senate. Most of his appointments, however, are subject to the approval of the ASSC president.

NEW YORK. Oct. 26—(U.P.)—Wendell L.

In a radio address broadcast throughout the nation and the world the former Republican presidential candidate said he believes that “in a military sense we can win this war” despite the fact that, so far, “in many respects we are not doing a good job.”
Throughout his address Willkie indicated the deepest sympathy for Russia, and Ch na. describing the peoples of these countries as “our superb fighting allies.”

Dimout Rules for SC Related by President
All university employees, professors, and 28th street residents are asked by President Rufus B. von KleinSmid to comply with orders of Lt. Gen. John L. DeWitt of the west-srn defense command regarding the new dimout regulations.
Instructors of all night classes should make sure their shades and Venetian blinds are cor- ---

“Some things remain unshaken,” said Dr. Helsel. ‘In the physical world there are such examples as growth, metabolism, vital forces, and chemical affinity: in human nature truth, justice, good, wisdom, and the like characterize the un-. seen world as genuinely as gravitation does the physical world.”
STRESSES THOUGHT
He advises the development of ideas for the preservation of democracy, saying that today we must build our Babel towers not of clay, but of ideas.
Dr. Helsel will expound the two views shared by educators of man’s place in the cosmos. With Croce one may treat history as the story of liberty, he said, or in agreement with Socrates, believe that the roots of human existence bury themselves deeply within cosmic soil.
REPRESENTS PATTERN
“Democracy represents the eternal pattern of human relationships and brotherhood, and unless we hold this conviction, well may our hearts faint within ’us as we sense the irresistible tide of world events sweeping us on.
“We must build a world,” he continued, “that succeeding generations can look to for hope and-sustenance. We must build it with an unshakable foundation."
POINTS OUT REPETITION
Dr. Helsel will point out how th<* patterns of a democratic society have repeated themselves throughout history. He opines that democracies to a considerable degree have always stressed self-reliance and independence in gaining a livli-hood. These theories were exemplified by the ancient Greeks, early Hebrews, and American frontier -men.

Other speakers this year will be Herbert L. Searles, who will speak on “The Seat of Authority in a Democracy”; Wilbur Long, “Propaganda and Democracy”; Merritt M. Thompson, “Educating for Democracy”; Carlton C. Rodee, “Contemporary Challenges to Democracy.”

Sigma Nu Dig Attracts 800
With every unburned rug and piece of furniture cleared from the ground floor to make way for more than 800 swinging Trojans. Sigma Nu held its novelty Charcoal Dance last night to help raise funds covering the losses suffered by last weeks fire. Dancing lasted from 7 until 10:30.
Outside the building pledges of the fraternity sold admission tickets at 50 cents each and served punch and cookies to the throng of Greek-letter men and their dates who lounged on couches arranged on the lawn, or who went inside at the persuasion of a voice over a public address system announcing the numbers played by Ted Olewine and his Jumpcats.
Trojans entering the house found it decorated with colored streamers and with placards pointing to the Persian room, the Peacock room, and the Top o’ the Mark. Pushing their way through the crowds into the Persian room, they danced around the band.
“It was a tremendous success,” said Henry Eschen, president of Sigma Nu. “We appreciate the splendid support given us by the students.”
He pointed out that all the sororities and fraternities on the campus turned out for the- affair. Assisting him in planning the dance was Russ Lindersmith, head yell-king.
Sigma Nu members are at present residing in other fraternity houses, pending the reconstruction of their building. President Eschen revealed that insurance did not entirely cover the losses sustained by the fire.
