Phi Beta Kappa offers contest
Awards totaling $200 will , • be presented to winners of an essay contest on the subject “Colleges in Wartime,” sponsored by the alumni of Phi Beta Kappa. The deadline for contributions is Apr. 5, and the contest is open to all students who are regularly enrolled as undergraduates and who are in school Mar. 1.
Because of the effect of the war on SC students, this should be a good opportunity for them to express their views upon the new military program, together with their attitudes on the changes the war has wrought upon their own lives, according to Dr. Bessie McClenahan, chairman of the campus committee.
Dr. McClenahan urged that students choose topics that relate to the role of colleges in wartime in terms of personality and occupation.
Essays submitted must be original and not written for any other contest. They must not exceed 30(H) words. Judging will be based upon subject matter, form, and manner of presentation.
Entries should be typewritten, bear a fictitious name, and be accompanied by a sealed envelope containing the true name of the writer.
Dr. Harley begins peace series today
The political side of “Foundations for Enduring Peace,” the problem which has been chosen as the theme of the 26th annual philosophy forum series, will be presented by Dr. J.
Eugene Harley, professor of political science, today at 4:15 p.m. in Bowne hall of the Mudd Memorial Hall of Philosophy.
Presenting the first of four lectures illustrating the political, economic, social, and philosophical views of the problem, Dr. Harley will discuss “The Political Framework of Postwar Reconstruction.” He will emphasize the need for a worldwide political organization designed to achieve national and international security and, through the use of courts and conferences, to lessen the probabilities of war by the elimination of brute force in the settlement of international disputes.
At the future meetings of the present forum Dr. Robert Pettengill, former associate professor of economics now with the OPA, will present the basis of the economic problem; and Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling, director of the School of Philosophy, the philosophical problem.
Dr. Wilbur Long, professor of philosophy and organizer of the forum, emphasized the fact that he 'wishes students to join in the forum series because the peace of tomorrow will depend upon the students of today.
Dr. Harley will highlight his lecture this afternoon with a detailed discussion of the alternatives of setting up a revitalized federation, a world commonwealth of nations, or the united nations as the nucleus of the postwar political organization.

Trojans to wait few days'
A wholesale exodus of members of the air corps enlisted reserve was imminent yesterday as a number of SC men received notification from the ninth service command that they would be called to active duty in a “few days.” Originally, most of the members of the air corps enlisted reserve had been deferred until graduation, but increased facilities for the training of men and greater manpower needs made premature calling of these men necessary.
Both prospective flight officers —bombardiers, navigators, and pilots—and aspirant ground crew members were called. Those who applied for flight training may expect to be sent to the Santa Ana air base or the new Fresno training center.. Ground crew men will train at various places throughout the country, according to the divisions which they enter. Armament and photography divisions train at Lowry Field in Denver, Colo., while engineers receive their preliminary instruction at Ghanute field, 111. Men with the necessary requisites for meteorology or communications will be sent for their study to Caltech, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, UCLA, or the University of California.
It has not as yet been determined how many Trojans received their notifications, but among those known to have been called were Tom Blake, William Sparks, Jim Brown, and Sam Roeca.
Miss Helen M. Haller of the comptroller’s office stated late yesterday afternoon that students will be refunded their full tuition if they apply at that office before Thursday of this week.

Campus not hard hit by OPA shoe edict
Representative men students believed yesterday that “G.I. shoes will keep us in the running” when they discussed the new OPA ruling of three pairs a year and stated further that this amount should be sufficient for the average college student.
Though some men students may find a solution to their shoe problems when they go into the service, women of SC were worried about the supply of campus saddle shoes but believe that three pairs will be enough for all-round duty.
Here are some of the comments:
Paul Taylor—The- ruling won’t bother me because I’m going into the marines soon.
Eleanor Colbert—The OPA order suits me fine. It will probably hit the playboys and playgirls though.
Martha Livingston—I need a pair of saddle shoes.
Ruth Elizabeth Maslund—I can get by. After all, it’s for victory.
Jack Kodimer—I never use that
many shoes during the year anyway. If I use two pair, I’m doing good.
Margaret Hackney—I’m all stored up. I have enough to last the dura-tidh.
