Nazis foot D. G.s, navy, not marine
Naval cadets learn a lot of things in class, one of them not being how to identify a German naval uniform.
It is just as well, too, for an incident passed by smoothly the other day which otherwise might have led to bloodshed.
It seems that three score or more cadets were dancing dreamily to sweet strains at the Dee Gee house and their thoughts were far from strife and battle. When the fledgling flyers were lulled into a carefree state, a cunning infiltration of Nazi naval officers was perpetrated.
Five Delta Tau Deltas dressed in complete and authentic German uniforms wormed their way into the affair and enjoyed the hospitality of the friendly group. Not an eyebrow was lifted nor a question put.
This was too dull, so the insidious quintet adjourned . to Carl's. After a half hour an alert marine at an opposite table started to get red in the face and to breathe heavily. Whereupon the masqueraders left—post haste — for after all, weren’t they through with their hamburgers?
DePaul selected for NCAA games
CHICAGO, Mar. 8—(U.P)—DePaul university of Chicago tonight was named to represent the mid-west in the National Collegiate Athletic association’s basketball tournament after Illinois, the Big 'ten titlist, declined the bid.
It was also announced that the Creighton quintet would travel to New York for the national invitational tourney, thus making Kansas the representative to the NCAA games in Kansas City.
This will be the last southern California appearance of Mrs. Bondfield, British privy councillor and former member of parliament. As minister of labor, this 70-year-old matron is one of the few English women to take an active interest in British labor problems and the only woman ever to serve as a member of the imperial cabinet.
One of a family of 11, Mrs. Bond-field’s life reads like a democracy success story, for she has risen from humble surroundings to her present position in British public life.
“Our Maggie,” as the British have named her, has been on a nation-wide tour for the past several weeks and has conferred with various administrative groups in the United States.
Winston Churchill, British prime minister, conferred an honorary L.L.D. degree on her at the University of Bristol in 1930, a year after she received her councillor post.
Dr. Mary Sinclair Crawford, professor of old French; Dr. Emory Stephen Bogardus, professor of sociology; Dean Rockwell Dennis Hunt of the Graduate School; and Harriet Danborg, acting president of the Graduate School, will serve as a welcoming committee for Mrs. Bondfield.

These women are Senia Nester-nenko, Mary Margaret del Bondio, Marjorie Brown, and Dorothy Greiner.
Other campus women who have filled out applications for volunteer war work are Ruth Harris, Doris Ho, Shirley Inlow, Pat Jel-lison, Alice Lloyd, Beth Stolp, Audrey Vancott, and Viola Wiswell. This list was announced earlier by the social welfare agencies committee of the student war board.
Application blanks may be obtained at the YWCA this week, and one credit point for each hour of service will be given in the house of the month contest, staged by the campus War board.
#Mr. Gandhi has, undoubtedly, found his fast to be a significant form of discipline for himself and % significant instrument for nonviolent coercion,” stated Dr. Muel-der.
iTiis raises two questions, he gtates. These are (1) whether it permits the masses to look upon Gandhi as a miracle worker in their
behalf, and (2) whether it does not take away from mass movement a discipline which it needs for its own political maturation.
Reservations for the meeting must be made by noon today, according to Dan Halpin, I.R. club president. These reservations may be made with the political science office, Bridge hall, with the secretary of Graduate Students, or with Halpin.

Nazi losses
total 33 tanks
in Tunisia
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, North Africa, Mar. 8—(U.P.)-The British eighth army has smashed the axis offensive in southeast Tunisia and driven the Afrika Korps back to the Matmata hills with grave losses including 33 tanks, it was announced tonight.	--
Lost Horizon cast prepares for first night
The eighth army itself had not lost a tanlk, latest reports said, and held all its positions intact before the Mareth line in what was shaping up as the most clear-cut allied triumph of the Tunisian war.
Military quarters said that Marshall Erwin Rommel might be regrouping behind the Mareth forts for new attacks, but it was far likelier he had been so roughly handled by his old nemesis that he now was bending all his efforts toward reorganizing for defense.
Following up the eighth army’s victory, American bombers dealt an other stinging blow to Rommel’s precarious supply line, sinking two ships, leaving four in flames and damaging a seventh in attacks on a convoy plying the Sicilian narrows On the central front an American mobile patrol charged a much larger force of Italian military police in a pass 10 miles west of Gafsa and captured 84 of the enemy without losing a man. The northern front was quiet.
Hard fighting was reported to have continued yesterday with the Germans suffering additional high losses, but details still were lacking.
(Radio France broadcast from Algiers that the German 15th and 21st tank divisions had been so badly crippled that “little remains of them.” Another Algiers broadcast said that French forces had occupied Redeyef, 36 miles west of Gafsa on the southwest Tunisian front.)
On Saturday, the Afrika Korps struck with six separate heavy tank attacks, official advices said, and the eighth army rolled back every one in a full day of furious fighting that cost the enemy heavily in men, light equipment, and tanks.
D. T. elite meet

Specially invited guests are John Williams, Ed Diener, Marilyn Johnson, Mary Ann Callan, Nora Paredes, Kathleen Gelcher, Lynn Cohne, Dixie Wilkinson, Jane Berger, Judy Rubinstein, and Bob Weide.
Nation needs nurse's aides
Women from 18 to 50 with 80 spare hours during the next six weeks are eligible to enroll in the nurse's aide training classes at the local chapter of the American Red Cross, 1200 South Vermont.
The course lasts six weeks, and
women completing the training are expected to give a minimum of 150 hours of service a year, according to Dr. Wilton L. Halverson, director, California state department of public health.
“If sick civilians are to be given necessary nursing care and the public health protected during the war, it is essential that more nurse’s aides be retained to release graduate nurses for skilled services,” he declared.
Dr. Halverson pointed out that one nurse’s aide working three hours a day, five days a week, contributes 750 hours a year, equivalent to three months of a graduate nurse’s time at the rate of eight hours a day.
Marble pillars and the walls of a Chinese building will be constructed on the stage of Touchstone theater from the plans drawn
up this week by Roy J. Pomeroy, drama professor, who is in charge of erecting the set for Drama Workshop’s production, “Lost Horizon.”
Material for the props will be obtained from the scene dock behind the Cinema building, according to Joan Miles, director. The play will be presented Mar. 26, 27, and 29.
Costumes for the play will be designed by a committee of students in the cast, said Miss Miles. Ritchie Gregory will be in charge of planning makeup effects. Because the setting of the play is in the mountains of China, oriental dress will be worn by most of the actors. The four principal parts will be played by Bob Dowd, cast as Conway; Aria Delle Smith, Helen; Barry Jonas, Molison, and Camille Bennett, Lo Tsen.
Rehearsals for the production have now reached the stage where the actors are repeating their parts without scripts, remarked Miss Miles. She announced that ticket sales will begin next week. All returns will be donated to the Red Cross.

Such “figures” as these soon will be checked by navy men on campus who look over the date bureau cards, to be filled out tomorrow by women students.
As a service to the new navy men on campus and to the rest of the Trojans, .the war board
and the USO entertainment chairman Martha Bennison are sponsoring Troy’s first date bureau. Signing-up of women will take place from 12 to 4 p.m. and 5 to 6 p.m. in the dean of men’s office, 225 Student Union. ,
Women will be asked to give their name, address, phone, height, wreight, coloring, age, type of fellow preferred, and special interests. The dates will be made for Saturday nights or Sundays. The bureau will call to find if
the woman is available, and will arrange introductions.
This is another effort on the part of the student body to make naval flight preparatory cadets feel at home. This action was prefaced by several open-house affairs at Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall on Sunday evenings and a present-to-the-row dance at Delta Gamma sorority house last Saturday evening.
Men will sign up soon, and tha bureau eventually will be moved tr the War Board office.
