Phil Levine Heads Men s Judicial Body
Phil Levine, president of the sen- | ior class, was elected president of the mens council last week. Other members of the council are Bill Beaudine, secretary. Bob McKay, ASSC president, Bill Caldwell, and Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men and adviser to the group.
The men’s council is the highest Judicial body composed of SC students. It decides all cases where students have broken rules of the university. Authority to place delinquents on probation or to expel them from school are among its powers granted by the ASSC constitution.
Membership in the council is restricted to the most outstanding members of the student bod*-.
Besides being president of the senior class, Levine Is a member of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, a Trojan Knight, formerly a member of Squires, and is active in student body affairs.

dancing will last from 7:30 to 9:30. 1 More than 500 Trojans are expected to partake of the get-acquainted atmosphere of the dig, according to Charlotte Quinn, ASSC vice-president who is in charge of the affair.
Fellowship among new and old students at SC is the purpose of the dance, which is being supported almost 100 per cent by the sororities, she explained. Freshmen with their I green beanies and buttons will be guests of honor.
MORE STEP—LESS SLIDE Principal innovation of tonight’s affair will be in the dancing styles.
Differing from similar events held in past semesters, war economy will cause hghtfooted Trojans to step more and slide less on a gymnasium floor which will not be smoothed with a coating of wax.
Future on campus events for students facing gasoline rationing as well as an impending limitations on all pleasure driving depends on the success of the dance. While outlining plans for future All-U digs if the students support this one, she remarked:
“This is the best way we can keep students interested in campus affairs and give upperclassmen an opportunity to meet lowerclassmen and newcomers.”
ANOTHER STREET DANCE?
Future All-U digs contemplated for this semester include a street dance and one in which the only price in addition to an activity card will be the purchase of a war savings stamp.

Admission will be by activity card or by a fee paid at the door.
MOSCOW, Oct. 4—(U.P.)—Premier Josef Stalin said today that the possibility of a second front in Europe occupies a “very important place, one might say a place of first rate” in the Soviet estimate of the current war situation.
Stalin, in statement made available to American correspondents m Moscow, said allied aid to Russia, as compared with the Soviet Union’s contribution to the cause of the united nations, “has so far been little effective.”
“In order to amplify and improve this aid,” the leader of all the soviets asserted, “only one thing is required: That Iht answered. At 12:20 p.m. in the ames fulfill their obligations fully and on time.”

the first in this year’s series of poetry reading sessions. The poet scheduled for this lecture is Thomas Hardy, who has been recognized for more than half a century as an institution of the English speaking world.
Dr. Baxter's sessions have attracted a great deal of attention in tlje past for this popular head of the English department is able to put much more drama and feeling into the reading of a poem than most lecturers. These twenty minute discussions were started several years ago at the request of many students who wished to hear poetry purely for pleasure.
The topics are chosen by Dr. Baxter from requests he receives from students and faculty members. Next Monday’s lecture is tentatively scheduled to be on Edwin E. Master. Other subjects for the semester have not been chosen so express your preference now.

FDR Supports Farley s Man
WASHINGTON. Oct. 4—(UE) — President Roosevelt today endorsed the New York gubernatorial candidacy of Attorney General John J. Bennett jr., whose nomination he opposed unsuccessfully at the recent state democratic convention.
In a brief statement issued from the white house “in reply to numerous inquiries in reference to the political situation” in New York state, Mr. Roosevelt said he would vote for Bennett in the Nov. 3 elections “because I believe that he is the best qualified.”
At the same time, he urged voters in New York and throughout the nation, “regardless of party affiliations,” to register and vote in the coming elections.
“This is one of the essential privileges and duties of our democratic way of life for which we are now fighting,” he said.
He did not refer to the other candidates by name. His endorsement simply said that "of the tliree men in the race” he would cast his ballot for Bennett because "I believe that he is the best qualified.” Bennett is opposed by republican candidate Thomas E. Dewey, former New York district attorney and nationally know(n as a racket buster; Dean Alfange. the American Labor party candidate, and Israel Amter, on the Communist ticket.

Efogi, which was occupied Saturday, is about eight and one-half miles south of the gap. There was no indication how far past Efogi the Australians, had gone.
A communique from Gen. Doug-Re-1 las MacArthur’s headquarters said allied fighter planes continued to strafe key points on the enemy's line of retreat—a jungle trail winding up toward the 6,170-foot Owen Stanley pass summit.
The communique made no mention of any land engagement, but a spokesman said the Australian troops were making only slight contact with the Japanese, who had offered no resistance for the past four days.
Meanwhile, allied medium bombers were reported to have attacked an enemy airdrome at Buka, northernmost of the Solomon Islands, starting fires and explosions near the runway and in dispersal areas, and destroying at least one grounded Japanese plane.
powerful reading,
This poet tells stories better than any man of his generation and has more of them to tell. His knowledge of the everyday experiences of men and women—what happens to them, what they feel, what they hope—is unsurpassed. He is equally at home with all phases of life, high or low, but his chief concern is the peasantry of the small English community. Every piece of Hardy's literature deals with man's inhumanity to man and it is here that his complete understanding of emotions and their stimuli is revealed.
MEET LIFE EAGERLY
The strong characterizations made by Hardy have caused many controversies, particularly among women. The women of Hardy’s plot always meet life eagerly, seizing it with both hands. They surrender quickly to impulse. Their poor judgment, instability and Inconstancy often irritate women readers.
Thomas Hardy’s poems were not published until 1898 when he was almost 60. The greatly productive Indian Summer of his life revealed four volumes written after his 75th birthday. His inspiration was the second Mrs. Hardy whom he married after the death of his first wife in 1912. At this time Mrs. Hardy number two was 35 and Mr. j Hardy, 74. but their common in-her capable
