nlistments
No further enlistments will be accepted in the NROTC init until V-12 students become eligible for admission on Mar. 1, 1944, it was announced yesterday by Capt. Reed Fa-tfell, NROTC commandant at SC. This ruling by the navy department means that 50 students who had been interviewed

Any ideas?.
Next week is teething time for the honest election foundling which must prove itself worthy of continued life at the ASSC polls next Friday. Ideas for improved election procedures must be provided by those students who have shown themselves to be believers in the principle of honest elections.
Every Trojan has his own opinions about ways in which ASSC elections can be insured against further malpractices. These opinions, written down and dropped in one of the Daily Trojan boxes located in Old College, Bridge, and the Student Union, will be published in the D.T. and will receive the attention of the elections commissioner.
rollment in the NROTC must be refused admission to the unit, according to Capt. Fawell.
The ruling results from the necessity of bringing all officer procurement into conformity with the
policy of the war manpower commission. At present there are 212 students in the NROTC at Troy Captain Fawell revealed, however, that approximately 30 of the NROTC applicants can be admitted under the existing quota Ac naval science students. These students will be permitted to take all the NROTC work, including: cruises. Captain Fawell emphasised that *it is very probable they wifi have the opportunity to complete adjustment of their status to that of an NROTC student before graduation.**
Since tha inauguration of the ROTC program, students have permitted to enlist in the unit naval science students. Capt. well pointed out that the dif-erence between an NROTC stu-ent and a naval science student largely of name only.”
The V-l accredited college program terminated Mar. 15 and was replaced by the V-12 navy college training program. After July 1 the V-l college program will be merged with tha new V-12 campus program.

Dean urges V-1, V-7 to enroll
in intersession
Btudents in a naval reserve, V-l or V-7, will not be required to register for the intersession, May 24-June 26, but are urged to do so, according to an announcement received by Dr. Albert S. Raubenheimer, armed forces representative at SC, Raubenheimer pointed out that “students at this time can make up any shortages, subject or unit, that they may have.”
AU students in V-l who will have completed an equivalent of four semesters (60 or more units) by July t, 1943. including work completed in the intersession, will be required to take the qualifying examination Apr. 20.
Premedical and predental students in V-l may, upon request, be excused from taking the test.
Dr. Raubenheimer emphasized that It is highly important that all premedical and predental students in naval reserves who will complete their pre-professional training by July 1, 1943 should apply for admission to a medical or dental school at once.” These reservists must be admitted to a professional school by July 1 in order that the navy can arrange for the continuation of their college training.
A further ruling Is that all students in V-l or V-7 who have been admitted to a medical or dental school or who are now registered in a medical or dental school should arrange immediately to transfer to the H-VP reserve. To apply for this the student should go to the Guaranty building, 411 West Fifth street, Los Angeles.
First formal all-U dance of this semester, sponsored by the junior class and the interfraternity council, will be held in the Blue room of the Biltmore hotel Apr. 17.
Rhythmically swaying from 9 to 1 a.m., 800 Trojans will dance to the tunes of Alvino Rey’s 20 men of music. The committee presents this dance as an all-U celebration of the Friday’s election victory. Results of the political race will be formally announced at the dance.
Both the junior class and the interfraternity council have cooperated in planning this event because upon the limitations placed upon current social life by war exigencies. This one dance will take the place of the usual two separate affairs.
Mickey Heeger, president of the junior class and Sig Ep, and Bob Fiske, president of the interfra-temity^ council and SAE, are co-chairmen in planning the formal.
Bids will be handled through a committee of men from both organizations, Jack Bell, Gordon
Craig, and Bob Stevens. They may be obtained for $3.30 a couple, including tax.
Maximums placed on social events eliminated elaborate decorations, but the general theme will be carried out with the election victories in mind. Earl Collings is in charge of publicity.
There wil be 400 bids offered for sale, and the fraternity groups have requested that 300 of them be offered through the individual houses. The remaining 100 will be placed in the bookstore where other students may obtain them upon application.
Chaperones, other committees, and special events will be announced at a later date, according to the two chairmen.

President s office notice
Many students, De rents, and other friends of the University have made inquiry relative to the program which will obtain after the eiose of this present semester on May 22.
In answer, let me say the University of Southern California will maintain its regular program as it has been maintained during the past year, and, in addition to presenting a schedule for its full-time and part-time student body working toward the fulfillments of degree requirements, will contract with certain branches of the armed forces for the training of enlisted men and prospective officers through a series of special programs. One hears the expression, “being taken over by the navy.” The expression more properly should be, •‘entering Into contract-relationship with the navy” whereby special courses are offered to assigned groups sent for preparation in distinct fields of war service.
Since the regular programs of our schools and colleges will be offered, we should expect the usual student body exclusive of enlisted men. Especially ace arrangements being made in order that women students who desire it nkay tr.ke se-cal led “war minors" in addition to the courses regularly taken for degree. There is every Indication that the enrollment of women students during the next academic year will be larger even than during the present term.
War service by the force of circumstances ls, of course, first in the interest of those able to work directly with or for the armed forces. Education ls easily first in the plans of women who must not only “hold the fort,” educationally speaking, during war, but prepare to make the largest contribution to peaceful living after the war Is over. To this end the University carries on.

commodities” affecting the cost of living.
Mr. Roosevelt, by executive order, also authorized War Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt to forbid Job shifts for higher wages except when such changes in employment “would aid in the effective prosecution of the war.” Explaining the order in a formal statement, he described it as “a hold-the-line order” necessitated because “we cannot tolerate further increases in prices affecting the cost of living or further increases in general wage or salary rates except where clearly necessary to correct sub-standard living conditions.
“The only way to hold the line,” Mr. Roosevelt said, “is to stop trying to find justifications for not holding it here er not holding it there."
He explained that the section of his order applying to the price front meant that “all items affecting the cost of living are to be brought under control."
“No further price increases are to be sanctioned unless imperatively required by law,” he said.
“There are to be no further increases in wage rates or salaries scales beyond the little steel formula, except where clearly necessary to correct substandards of living.’*

Dr. Harley prefaces postwar study
(The following article is the first in a series to be presented in connection with the conference at SC of the Pacific Forensic league. The general theme of the conference will be “America’s Role in Postwar World Reconstruction." Dr. J. Eugene Harley, chairman cf the commission to study the organization of peace for the southern California region, has written this first article on “Why Study Postwar Reconstruction Now?”)
by Dr. J. Eugene Harley
Twenty-five years ago Trojan men drilled in Bovard field. Our boys went forth to World war I to fight to end war, to make the world safe for democracy, and to get rid of the autocratic, militaristic government of Germany headed by the Kaiser. Many American boys, including some of our Trojans, lie in Flanders field. ’ Woodrow Wilson gave the world a noble vision, a League of Nations for peace. But the peoples of the United States and some other leading nations were not prepared for peace. The victors “won” the war but “lost” the peace. Now once again Trojans are going forth to the battle fields of the world. Shall we let them down? Shall we fail to cash in on their sacrifices by bogging down with the peace?
