Students Advised to Retain Copy of Today’sTrojan
In an effort to provide students with a permanent soui<*e of information regarding the military reserve programs available at the university, the^ Daily Trojan has devoted much of this issue to explaining and clarifying these programs.
Though it is impossible to include all information in a single issue, this copy lists possible sources for details.
Students are urged to retain today’s issue because the complete requirements for the service reserves ran not be listed in subsequent issues despite the fact that full coverage will be given the reserve programs. Page seven contains information pert-; inent to defense services.

Students Hear Yon KleinSmid
President to Speak at Assembly Tuesday
President Rufus B. von KleinSmid will address the student body next Tuesday at 9:50 a.m. at the opening assembly for the fall semester in Bovard auditorium.
His welcome will herald a year of school work geared to war-time functions with the entire campus planning its activities in the best interests of defense.
FACULTY ATTENDS In the traditional manner, the deans and directors of the various schools and departments will be seated on the platform and will be introduced to the student body. Administrative officers of the school will also be presented.
Faculty members in their academic gowns will form a processional from Doheny library steps across University avenue into the auditorium and will be seated in a reserved section.
ENLISTMENT COVERED Second assembly scheduled for the year will be held September 24 in Bovard at 12:15 p.m. for all men students. At that time Dr. Albert S. Raubenheimer, dean of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, will explain the various service training programs on campus.
He will discuss the navy program including V-l, V-5 (aviation cadets), V-7 (reserve mid-shipmen), and NROTC.
Semester Deadline for Army Reserves Set by Authorities
Students who hava become members of the army enlisted reserve corps and who have reached the age of 20 will be subject to call at the end of the fall semester, according to a bulletin received from the war department recently.
The bulletin said tnat the exigencies of the war have now become such that it is now I expected that by the end of the college term or semester beginning in September those student mem-; bers of the reserve who have reached the selective service age will all or for the most part be called to active duty, and those i reaching that age during subsequent terms will be similarly called.
PURPOSE CITED
The secretary of war authorized the enlisted reserve program for | college students with the belief that training afforded by colleges was useful for their preparation for active duty in the armed services. It wa* also believed that a sub-' stantial number of those enlisted i would prove qualified for selection as candidates for officer training.
The following conclusions were therefore drawn from the above statement and from other conferences by army representatives and may be used as a guide for SC students;
1.	There is no indication that the army will call to active duty members of the enlisted reserve corps or those enlisting during the semester before the end of the term or semester beginning in September even though ,they are, or become of, selective service age (20).
STAY LEVIED
2.	In the future the same principle will apply. That is, men in the army enlisted reserve-corps will probably not be called to active duty until the end of the semester or term in which they reach approximate selective service age.
3.	It is now planned that selective service age will be interpreted at the equivalent age at which a student otherwise would be inducted through selective service— approximately 20 years and 6 months.
4.	The ROTC will be continued although it is indicated that some minor modifications are under consideration.
5.	The army intends to use the facilities of the collets and universities for such training as may be considered necessary for future officer candidates.
Fellow Trojans:
As representative of the associated students of this university it is a great privilege for me to welcome incoming and returning enrollees. We look forward to a year of seriousness, of academic application, of preparation. Thai is the role we must play in a nation geared to wartime standards.
And, I believe, this very seriousness will add to the student’s interest in university activities. He will find himself adjusted to speedups of all kinds and will find pride in accomplishment, whether it be in the field of study or in the nature of a contribution of effort in student affairs.
I know I speak for every Trojan in predicting that 1942-43 will be a year of successes, a year of work, application, and a proportionate share of recreation. Sincerely,
Bob McKay,
President, ASSC.
To you who enter our university community while the world Is In the throes of Its greatest crisis, we say, “Welcome.” In a spirit of genuine cooperation, with unity and seriousness of purpose, and with a desire to be thoroughly prepared for the larger service that will bring us the victory, we enter upon a momentous year. The conflict will be won by intelligent people, trained for their tasks, and fired by the knowledge that their cause is just and cannot fail. In preparation for our part in the war and the peace that will follow lert, us pledge our undivided effort.

Navy Changes Student Reserve Requirements
Physical Test Relaxed for Special Enrollment;
Mathematics Stressed in V-1, V-7 Programs
Modification of requirements for entrance into the navy’s V-l and V-7 programs, put into effect this semester, allows men seeking naval commissions to enlist in either a general-service or special-service classification. Special-service physical requirements have been relaxed to allow the enrollment of men previously unable to fulfill the navy’s minimum essentials. Mathematics will be stressed in both classifications.
Department Head Pneumonia Victim
After a week’s illness from pneumonia. Prof. Katherine H. Stil-well, 50, head of the SC Spanish department, died Monday at her residence, 1172 Exposition boulevard.
She had been on leave of absence from the university since February and had just returned from the University of Mexico where she had completed work for her doctorate degree. Her studies were sponsored by the Del Amo foundation on a fellowship basis.
Having secured her A.B. degree here in 1917, Professor Stilwell became an SC Spanish instructor In 1920. She later earned her M.A. at Columbia university ir. 1928. Prior to her university affiliation she had served in the Spanish departments at Santa Monica high school, John H. Francis Polytechnic high school, and Central Intermediate school.
A sponsor of the SC chapter of the Student Pan-American league, she had traveled extensively in South American countries obtaining research material in her field.
She was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and Sigma Delta Pi, honorary Spanish organization.
Funeral services will ¥ private and will be held today at 3:30 p.m. in the chapel of St. John’s Episcopal church, 514 West Adams, Dr. George Davidson will conduct the services.
Classes Given in German
With the aavent of the United States in World war II came a demand for knowledge of the German language as never before. To meet this exigency, SC now offers a large variety of German courses.
One course in particular, military German, taught by Dr. Harold von Hofe, assistant professor of German, was introduced last spring to prepare students for government translation work. Requirement for the course is one year of German. CLASSES DISCUSSED
The class consists of reading and translation of articles that appeared in German military journals between 1938 and 1941.
Dr. von Hofe is a contributor to the German-English military dictionary, published under the direction of Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of staff, for use by the army of the United States.
A number of SC graduates now .hold important positions in the army intelligence, naval intelligence, and the bureau of censorship because of their knowledge of German language. Civil service increasingly requires men and women with an understanding of the language.
GROWTH REVEALED
So important has the knowledge become that West Point and Annapolis make it a requirement for the cadets, following a practice set earlier by the English public schools.
Another German course, elementary German conversation, is open to those students having one semester of the language. Greatly simplified, the class uses a new text and students are taught to speak by speaking.
Changes in registration procedure to match the wartime speed-up program are in prospect for students planning to enroll at SC this week.
Students gathering for the regular period of enrollment, which begins today and continues through Saturday, will discover a new, and in the long discover a new, and in the long run, more simplified technique In the new plan, according to announcements from the office of the registrar.
Plans for the new setup include rearrangement of the gymnasium rooms usually employed in the procedure. a new system of class enrollment cards, simplification of men’s physical education registration, and new plans regarding faculty advisers.
PROCEDURE ANNOUNCED
Dr. John D. Cooke, chairman of the registration committee, announced the new procedure early this week and made several suggestions which will help the new wartime Trojans in their plans for entrance.
Junior college students will register from 1 to 5 p.m. today, and entering lreshmen will be enrolled tomorrow from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. Sophomores will go through th* new procedure from 1 to 5 p.m. tomorrow. Friday will find juniors signing up from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and seniors from 1 to 5 p.m. Late registration Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. will complete the regular
enrollment session.
FORMS ELIMINATED
Advising will take place in 207 and 210 Physical Education building, with the men's gym reserved for the counselor of men, dean of women, and writing and verification tables.
For classes not requiring section cards, students will fill out separate class admission cards, to be stamped by the comptroller and presented ,to the instructor at the first class meeting as the regular enrollment record for the class. In classes which require section cards, these forms will not be needed, but the section card will serve as enrollment record.
CARDS MADE-PERMANENT
Another change in the new plan concerns the general information cards which have previously taken up such a large amount of the student’s time. Although they wiU still be required this semester, they will be filed permanently and the student will not find it necessary to fill them out in future enrollments.
Those who register for 10 units or more are required to present a health permit when reporting for registration. The physical examination may be taken on the day preceding that to which the individual student is assigned for registration.
Student and adviser relationships are expected to achieve new importance this year, due to the need for counselling entailed by the problems of student participation in the war. In line with this development, .the registration committee has announced that students will retain throughout the year the advisers to whom they are assigned at registration.
