Newsmen meet
All members of the Trojan staff will meet tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 in the Senate chambers, 418 Student Union, according to Ed Diener, managing editor. The meeting is of great and far extending importance, he said.
John Eyed, volunteer ambulance driver with the British 8th army and SC graduate in ’41, returned to the campus last week after having spent 14 months in Africa—seeing action from El Alamein to Tunis—having traveled 70,000 miles, been on three continents, and after having traveled over the entire near east area Caught in two pockets, Eyed once had the experience of having the cars in front and in back of him blown up while in transit. “The Red Cross on my ambulance saved me,” said Eyed. “Contrary to popular opinion, the Germans do recognize the Red Cross ambulances and do not bomb, strafe, or molest them in any way.”
Asked what he thought of the running Rommel, Eyed replied that Rommel did not at any time try to hold his lines. “He just fought a delaying action, attempting to stave off the invasions of Sicily and Italy.”
On his furlough journey through the near east the former volunteer ambulance driver saw the ruins of Carthage, Leptis Magnus, Sbeitla, and camped in the seaport of Ghydis, near Djerba. Eyed also traveled all around Africa and reached the British 8th army just as it was retreating to Alamein to set-up pill boxes for a long seige.
Concerning the African situation in general, Eyed remarked that there wasn’t too much water, sand storms were numerous, flies were bothersome, and it was hot. In Shepherd’s hotel in Cairo, Eyed discovered a former classmate, Nick Gleboff, who graduated from the School of Journalism in ’42. “That convinced me that the world is a small place.” said Eyed.
Noon meet to air student opinions
A discussion concerning conditions and student attitude at the university, especially student conduct during examinations, will be held at an assembly at 12:30 today in Bovard auditorium, announced ASSC president Bill Caldwell. “Attendance is compulsory for all trainees, and civilian students
are strongly urged to come.”

Soviets roll on to Dnieper
BY UNITED PRESS
Soviet forces are driving the Germans back to the shore of the Dnieper in fierce fighting along a 250-mile front from Kiev to Dnepropetrovsk and the Red army is forcing the stream north and south of the Ukranian capital under devastating fire of German guns mounted high on the river’s west bank, Soviet communiques and front dispatches said today.
German radio reports said Soviet forces had attempted to land para-troop units behind the Nazi lines to outflank Kiev, and left room for speculation that they succeeded. DNB news agency at first reported that a parachute attempt had been repulsed at Kiev. Later it reported :
“Soviet parachute troops tried to land behind the German lines almost everywhere. Parachutists who landed among the densely concentrated German troops were immediately encircled, driven together and annihilated. Only in a few places where they could find a hideout in the terrain, they still hold out, but are localized and face annihilation.”
Front line dispatches reaching Moscow said the Germans were offering fierce resistance to Soviet assault trcops fighting in the mud of the workers’ settlement of Kiev on the marshy east bank of the Dnieper.
Despite a war, old king football came back to the coliseum Saturday for another stanza and brought with him. a victory for the SC Trojans over the Westwood Bruins by a score of 20 to 0. A crowd estimated at 50,000 filled the Memorial stadium for the opening event in west coast football and cheered
the traditional rivalry of the two schools.
Sparked by a pre-game rally Friday night in Bovard auditorium that was attended by more than 1500 rooters, the Trojan cheering section at the game was filled to the top of the coliseum. Spectators saw something new in the Bruin and Trojan sections, for they were dotted with the white of the navy and the green of the marine.
The spectacular half-time events, traditional at the UCLA-SC game were not dulled this year. A greater-than-ever Trojan band of 85 members joined with the Bruin contingent duiiii£ the intermission to serenade the two schools and salute the army, marine, navy, and air forces.
Yell leader Bob Thompson with his assistants, Day Carman and Daryll Arnold, pulled a number of card tricks out of the bag including an animated stunt.
The game also added to Uncle Sam’s bond campaign for victory by increasing the bond total by $1,500,000 through the sale of special seats on the players’ bench. Both schools were presented with citations in appreciation of their bond and stamp sales over the past year. In particular, the $2,000,000 sold in bonds at last year’s lilt was noted.
The Bruin gridiron devils will try again to break the Trojan horse when the second of the 1943 football clashes comes up on Dec. 2. Between now and then Troy has a total of eight games against varied opponents to try its skill.
