Troy to Try Tomato Tussle in Timely Trek
It's tomato pickin' time.
Well, at least that is what SQ will think come Nov. 21 when the student body treks out to San Fernando valley to help harvest this season’s crop of the bright red fruit.
Pickers will spend the day in the valley fields and the night at a celebration in the form of a wienie bake or barn dance. Patti Powell, head of the “back to the farm” movement, is formulating plans for the mass migration of all Trojans who would aid the war effort on that date.
Nov. 21 will be the only Saturday on which there will be no football game until the close of the season.
Thrice Sunk?
Trojan Reveals Perils of Trip on Freighter
Ninety-three days on a freighter off the Aleutian islands which was three times reported sunk by the Japs.
This dramatic story, ot bombings, submarine attacks, and of the power of U. S. forces in the Aleutian islands, is being told this week by Robert Lint, SC sophomore in the College of. Commerce, who returned to the campus only last Thursday after serving as a seaman aboard a freighter carrying supplies to Alaska and the Aleutians.
“Sure, fellows. I’ll tell you all
about it, but first pass a little more of that butter and an extra glass of milk. You don’t get any swell food like this in the Aleutians,” Lint told admiring fraternity brothers at the dinner table in the Delta Sigma Phi house yesterday.
Lint’s ship carried munitions and gasoline to an unknown destination. Although he had no previous seafaring experience, Lint signed up “just for the adventure;” never dreaming how long he would be gone,, and left Seattle on Aug. 2.
“None of us knew the ship's des-
tination, but when .ve didn’t put into any Alaskan port, we had a hunch we were in for something big. We were on board ship for 42 %ays without touching land after leaving Seattle,” Lint declared.
The ship, which was traveling in 1 a convoy, was twice bombed by high altitude Jap bombers, no di- i rect hits being scored “On one particular occasion we actually saw the periscope of a submarine coming at us, but two destroyers in our convoy raced up (Continued on Page Four) |
Child's Play Halts Battle of Adriano pie
Nostalgia of simple childhood delights invaded Bovard auditorium yesterday durin? the nine o'clock man and civilization lecture when a bright blue balloon attracted attention as it bobbed briskly over the heads of more than 500 freshmen. Before the amazed face of Dr. T. Walter Wallbank, about to launch a description of the battle of Adrian-ople, students yielded to childlike impulses, as they wildly batted the balloon across the lecture hall.
“In a modern system of education, why not let th» children express themselves,” dryly commented Dr. Wallbank over the loud speaker system.

Washington' Play Begins Tomorrow
Cast Wears Make-up for Dress Rehearsal as Stage Crew Turns Bovard Into Farmhouse
When the red Zi/rtain o^ Bovard auHitoriiim parts tomorrow evening on “George Washington Slept Here,” Trojan first-nighters will see one of the cleverest comedies yet produced by the drama workshop, predicts Joan Miles, director of SC’s first “war effort” play.
Daily rehearsals by the cast will conclude tonight with a complete^ dress-rehearsal with make-up. Ear-” ly this week Bovard stage was converted into the representation of a Pennsylvania farm house, the locale of the comedy, under the direction of Roy J. Pomeroy, technical supervisor. A new member of the faculty of the drama department, he was formerly attached with Hollywood film companies.
Following tomorrow night’s opening performance, the play will be given Saturday evening and again Monday. For the first time at SC, tickets will be sold at the rate of one to each person purchasing 50 cents worth of defense stamps.
ACTORS AID VICTORY
“Drama workshop is endeavoring in this way to do its part in helping win the war,” said Miss Miles who added that more “war effort” plays will be produced by the group in the future.
Monday evening’s performance will be turned over to an audience composed of members of campus fraternities and sororities. The best block of seats will be given to the house buying the largest number of stamps.
Theta Xi is the first fraternity to turn in its reservations for Monday evening, announced Miss Miles. Other houses giving early indication of cooperating with the fraternal night plan are SAE and Alpha Chi Omega who have called their next meetings for 5 p.m. so members could attend the play.

Hand in Night Turns T. Trojan to Sickly Blue
It was two o’clock in morning.
The moon was one quarter full. Fog lay thick over University avenue and 36th street Study lights at nearby dormitories flickered out for the night Automobiles cruised silently through the campus on their way home. All was quiet
It was 6 a.m.
The milkman whistled while he drove toward the dormitories. Campus hangout proprietors opened shop. University Park postal station opened its doors for early business. Information center lights were turned on. Early student risers parked their cars and beaded for their usual cups of coffee at nearby restaurants.
But then—it was discovered.
It happened between two and six o’clock.
Early rays of sunlight shone on the fresh, sticky blue coat of paint given to Tommy Trojan. Shield and toes alike glistened from the ghastly, sickly blue. Tommy’s determined expression was undaunted. Only the horrid color marred the statue. An ugly Inscription in blue at the base of the statue showed the initials UCLA.
Crowds gathered. Derogatory remarks came forth. Stevedore Chet Bailey appeared with ladder, brush, and special home brew used each year to give Tommy Trojan his “annual bath.”
“The Japs couldn't have done It It was someone more original.”
“I wonder who coulda done it!”
Graham Dreams Sensational Rally
Local Contacts Produce King Cole Trio,
Hollywood Tropics Band, Surprise Talent
Wildeyed Skeezix Graham, Knight president and rally chairman, stormed into the D.T. office at a late hour last night with the most startling news of the semester.
“At the Oregon rally we’re going -to start off with Tommy Dorsey, then hear several numbers by Kay Kyser and his band, two vocals by Betty Grable,
a dance or two by the Michelson brothers, and Lana Turner will be there to do a jitterbug sequence with Russ Lindersmith,” he babbled, almost incoherently.
Then, as the vile opium began to wear off, he became more rational and informed us that the King Cole trio has been definitely booked and that Paul Neighbor’s Hollywood Tropics band, which, incidentally, will present a vocalist, will probably be on hand.
The KPRC ended the nightmarish evening on a rather solemn note.
“We're not attending these rallies just for the laughs, but to do homage to the great Trojan football team that humbled Cal last Saturday,” he concluded.
Sigma Chi’s White twins, who have been deluged with requests to do their inimitable routines, begged Graham for time to prepare for a performance and promised him that i they would step onto the stage at I any time he was unable to secure outside talent.

“Is Freedom for India One of the Four Freedoms We Are lighting For?” is the topic of this week’s public affairs committee discussion which is open to all men and women students.
Dr. Nordskog will uphold the viewpoint that Indian independence should be granted onlv if India agrees to enter the war on the side of the united nations, while Ghosh, who is working for his M.A. degree at SC, will support the policy of immediate, unconditional independence for India.
DEGREE SETS DEGREE
Supporting his belief that Indian independence is the most important question facing us today. Dr. Nordskog declared that the degree of independence we allow India will probably determine the degree to which we and the rest of the united nations permit independence for any nation after the war.
The whole policy of whether England will permit the entire united nations to make the final decision on the Indian question, rather than England dictate the entire policy by herself, will mean the success or failure of any efforts toward world cooperation now and after the war,” Dr. Nordskog stated. INDIA’S CAUSE TOO “The issue is clear, ” he continued. “England, working together with all of the united nations, must grant complete independence to India. However, such independence can only be granted if Gandhi and and other Indian leaders agree to support the cause of the united nations, which is India's cause too— because of their imminent danger from ruthless invasion from Japan.” Commenting on Gandhi’s program. Dr. Nordskog warned that while his non-violence policies have worked against the tyranny of the British, they will not work with the Japanese because they are so long used to violence.
WHY NOT US?
Asit Ghosh, active in Indian pub lie affairs three years ago, pointed out that the Indians of his country are fighting only for their freedom.
He asks if liberty for the Indians is not just as important as liberty for the enslaved peoples of Jugoslavia, Greece or France.
Dr. Nordskog, professor at SC, first became interested in the Indian problem through a study of Mahatma Gandhi’s theory of nonviolence. He received his practical experience as state statistician in the Iowa bureau of labor and studied at Drake, Columbia, SC and the University of London.
His doctorial dissertation was written on the incompatability of democracy and imperialism throughout history. “The case involving India and England well illustrates this incompatability even ln modern fcimes,” he said.
