SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 9—(U.E>— Edgar Simpton, regional rationing chief of the Office of Price Administration, announced today registration for “A" gasoline cards on the Pacific coast had been postponed until Nov. 18-19-20.
Registration originally was scheduled Nov. 12-13-14.
Simpton said inability to obtain gas rationing books from eastern sources caused postponement of registration.
He said motorists still could obtain application blanks from service stations, garages, and other
authorized places but that the OPA would not accept applications until Nov. 18.
All preliminary steps toward obtaining bocks will continue, Simpton said.
Motorists have been turning all their tires over the legal limit of five to the government in order to be eligible lor ration cards and service stations have been flooded by vehicle owners applying for blanks.
Although there is no gasoline shortage on the Pacific coast, it was decided to ration gas as a means of conserving rubber, OPA officials said.
Vacation tomorrow?
Sorry, but according to the registrar's office there is not going to be an Armistice-day vacation tomorrow. The first scheduled recess from school will not start until Wednesday, Nov. 25, when the Thanksgiving holidays begin.
Only other vacation scheduled for 1942 is the Christmas recess, which begins Dec. 19.
Rationing and curtailment of vacations for the duration have been *ordered by school officials, who are acting in accordance with war plans advocated by President Roosevelt.

Admiral Jean Francois Darlan, commander-in-chief of the French armed forces, may be in the hands of American troops at Algiers and weighing an offer to switch his allegiance to the Allies, it was reported last night.
LONDON, Tuesday, Nov. 10 —(U.P.)—Allied forces have mopped up most of the seacoast areas of French Algeria and Morocco, but are engaged in a violent battle for the Moroccan naval base of Casablanca where naval, air, and ground forces are believed engaged.
Maj. Gen. George S. Patton Jr.,
commander of the landing operations at Casablanca, on the Atlantic coast, offered an'"’ armistice to the French commander, but it was rejected. After Patton returned to his warship under a flag of truce the battle was re-joined with great violence.
Landings have been made at all j selected points on the Atlantic coast of French North Africa under the command of Major-Gen. George S. Patton, the communique said.' French aircraft have been more ac- ! tive in/ that area than elsewhere, it added.
Naval forces, in supporting the
land operations, have taken counter-measures wherever they met resistance by French units, but there has been no mention of naval losses since Admiral Sir Andrew Browne Cunningham reported two small craft lost in forcing an entry into the Oran harbor.
Meanwhile, the direction of the allied offensive was indicated by the eastward sweep toward Tunisia, aimed first at the big Bizerte naval base and then at joining Britain’s I eighth army in a nutcracker squeeze ' on Marshal Erwin Rommel’s tat-
| tered Africa corps.
The French garrison at Port Lyautey. Morocco, north of Casablanca and Rabat, has succeeded in driving invading American forces back to the beach, Vichy said, and a number of French troops taken prisoner by the Americans have been rescued.
The road between Port Lyautey and Rabat is “entirely under the control of French troops.”
(A London broadcast recorded at the same time Rome was on the air said that the Vichy radio admitted that Port Lyautey and adjacent areas had been occupied by American troops.)

Critic
Baxter Tells Value of Writing in Army
by Frank C. Baxter
Secretary Knox and Secretary Stimson have both recently stressed the need of something more than mere “literacy” in candidates for non-commissioned and warrant officer ratings —as well as for officer’s commissions.
To write well is difficult and takes much practice, and the armed forces find that most men , are unable to write a clear straight- | forward, one paragraph report—or. strange as it may seem, to read! and understand one.
Any practice in writing leads to steady improvement in expression— and in the power of the writer to read, understand, and enjoy the writing of other people.
This literary page of the Troian offers a valuable opportunity for the students at this university to practice writing and gives them a chance to express themselves about the world in which they find themselves—and in which they must live.
I wish the venture even' success.
(Editor's footnote: Dr. Baxter is going to serve as literary critic in the selection of the three best contributions published on the Creative Page. The contributions vary in character, and all forms of literary expressions are expected. No DR. FRANK BAXTER deadline has yet been setA	. . . few can ^ie.
Latin Approves of U.S. Way
Some of the differences between schools here and in South America were drawn up very clearly in a recent interview with Javier Pied-rahita of Colombia, who is now enrolled in SC’s College of Architecture.
Many things motivated his arrival in California, but mainly the reputation of the College of Architecture and the fact that he thinks Los Angeles is an exceptionally fine center for study. These are the academic reasons, but Piedrahita also wanted more social life than Colombia schools offered.
Although basketball, tennis, soccer, and other sports are widely indulged in, there are no dances, plays, or any other types of coeducational activities. According to him, and most South American boys, the system here is much more enjoyable.
Piedrahita does have one complaint. He thinks that classes are held on too much the same line as they are in high school.
“The procedure of roll call and taking alternate seats during examinations makes one lose the sense of inaependence that is supposed to be acquired upon college entrance,” he said.
Since Piedrahita has been in California he has observed that it is definitely more expensive to live here than in South America. He also finds that on a whole people in the United States are much the same as those in Colombia, but finds differences between those in New York and Los Angeles, and is trying to discover just what it is that causes this lack of similarity.
Basically, however, he believes that every man who is able to should attend college regardless of what part of the world it is located in.

Trojans Tu.ie Up in Community Sing
Have you ever had an urge to sing your loudest? You can’t in church; you can’t when you hum in the girl friend’s ear; and even bath tub seranading has its limits, but there will be no limit on the volume of voice today when the university accepts the invitation of the Music school to participate in the semester’s first community sing.
Under the supervision of Max Krone, associate director of the School of Music, community sings for future dates have been planned.

Members of the committee are: Dick Koontz, Ralph McPherson, Maury Hellner, Seymour Vinocur, S. M. Hufstedler, Jack Williams, Bob McKay, Ken Morse, Leta Galentine, Jean Yale, Virginia Hope, Shirley Inlon, Emily Lehan, Jean Harris, Marilyn Faris, and Kathleen Gelcher.

If you can fill the requirements of these queries, the all-U show needs you.
One of the members of the Boogie-Woogie trio of “ ‘Neath Tommy Trojan” has deserted the cause so the directors of the production are looking around for someone to fill the position.

A contemporary Spanish composer, Manuel de Falla is also represented by one of his most famous works “En Generalife.” This selection is from his three pieces for orchestra and piano titled “Nights In the Gardens of Spain,” the scenes of which are laid in Granada.
The ensemble will also play “Nocturne” by Lili Boulanger, a gifted French girl who at the age of 19 won the Grand Prix de Rome, the first woman to receive this coveted award.
Mozart's Fantasia in F minor and Schuberts Symphony No. 3 to be presented in this morning's concert, like the Boulanger Nocturne are also works of young genius.
“Schubert was 19 when he wrote his Third Symphony,” Miss Alderman explained, “and during that year he completed five operas, two symphonies, and 146 songs.”
Also included in the program will be Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in D minor, Brahm’s “Cradle Song,” Tu-rina's “Orgia,” and Godard's “In the Village.”
