udents Greet Returning1 trojan ^Servicemen at Summer
Tonight
L '
by Bob Lander Every uniform of the United States armed services f will appear at the first all-university dance of the Summer Session—the Summer Salute—when 100 SC service-[men attend the affair in Town and Gown tonight.
Muzzy Marcellino and his 11-piece band and vocalist |Noel Neil will play at the dance which will be from 9 p.m. a.m. There will be no admission charge, and the ince will not necessarily be a date affair.
USO directors yesterday informed student chairmen lat they would be unable to arrange dates for all ser-iricemen planning to attend the dance, and Trojans are requested to come to the dance whether or not they are iting. This clause applies to men and women alike.
‘Pretty informal” was the laconic comment made by >nnie Kivari, student recreational chairman, when questioned closely about the Summer Salute.
The whole geopolitical strategy of the affair is to get students and faculty members together so that they may jome better acquainted, Miss Kivari said, “Beyond this,
the main intrigue is to counteract any ‘serious’ notions students might get about a recreational program.”
Elaborating, she declared that those cagey collegienne cottons would be very suitable for the occasion, although she thought rompers would be a little out of the question, but a “root” coat and slacks would serve very nicely for the men or maybe even a tropical worsted. Anyway, it was pretty conclusive that the blue serge and the frowns should be left in the odora cabinet.
The Summer Salute will be the first dance of its kind and is arranged as an informal introductory dance for Trojan men who have become part of Uncle Sam’s fighting forces. The affair has also been scheduled early in the session to permit new students to become better acquainted with one another. Invitations have been sent SG men who are .now serving in the army, navy, marine corps, and air forces, and 100 former Trojans will attend the dance.
Throughout the academic year SC sponsors many all-U dances, and they are ordinarily held in the gymnasium
or in the Student Union lounge. However, the Summer Session recreational directors decided to make use of the larger floor space and seating facilities of Town and Gown for tonight.
Miss Kivari is serving as recreational chairman for the Summer Session in place of Charlotte Quinn, who is attending the national Kappa Alpha Theta convention in Chicago.
Chaperones for the Summer Salute will be Dr. and Mrs. Harold von Hofe and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Anderson. Dr. T. Walter Wallbank, professor of man and civilization, will be unable to attend the affair due to previous committments.
Dr. von Hofe serves as an instructor in the department of German, ar.d Anderson is the faculty member in charge of the recreational program of the university during the Summer Session.
The Summer Salute is only first in a series of dances to be held throughout the Summer Session. Another dig will take place on July 6 in the gymnasium of the Physi-
cal Education building, and other iniormal affairs will be scheduled at regular intervals during the Summer Session.
“One decided advantage of holding this Summer Salute in the Foyer of Town and Gown,” Miss Kivari said, “is that there is enough floor space to permit jitterbugs all the latitude they can possibly use without endangering the lives of the more sedate.”
She added that Muzzy and his crew will play all the request numbers guests can think of and will fill in the gaps with their original arrangements.
Out of town students are requested to bring any of their acquaintances, and other persons may invite their friends.
At all previous dances refreshments have been provided for, but the Summer Salute will feature no soft-drink fountain. Decorations will be limited to flowers and, Miss Kivari says, to persons who persist in being wall flowers, themselves. The dance will end at 1 a.m.

SC LEADS
The first program of its kind in the United States, SC’s physical education innovation has attracted nationwide attention. The emergency war-time training is designed primarily to condition men for service in the armed forces. To determine their fitness, all students will be given a thorough physical examination prior to their participation. Those unfit for the unlimited program will be given either corrective activities or restricted schedules suitable to their conditions.
The program consists of .three main groups:
1.	Basic developmental activities which include swimming, gymnastic exercises, self-defense, track and field events, and team sports. COMPETITION INCLUDED
2.	Competitive intercollegiate activities will include football, basketball, baseball, track, swimming, water polo, and gymnastics. Til ing part in these sports will be varsity
teams and weight teams, supplemented by intramural participation for others.

‘75,000 Anyhow?/ Gasps Assistant
"How Many?” About 75,000, I think,” said Miss Helen Hailer, statistician of the registrar’s office, when asked the number of students enrolled l.i the summer session. Records really show 2850 students listed for the courses.
The 2850 now attending summer classes cannot as yet be compared with this year’s twelve and six-week sessions.
Another characteristic that may be found of the type now attending courses is youth. Because of the speed-up program and the number of regular classes now offered in the “third semester” more regular students have returned this summer, the registrar stated.
sponding to the most representative ones being used in the army, navy, and air corps, will be given in all of the divisions of the basic development program.
The new physical training classes will be held from 8 a.m. ,to 3 p.m. daily and the competitive program from 3 pm. to 5 p.m. daily. During each period there will be five sections, one in the swimming pool, one in the main gymnasium, one in the auxiliary gymnasium, one on Bovard field, and one in the auxiliary field. Students must devote one fifth of the semester to each of the five types of activities. COURSE CONSTRUCTED
A 500-foot obstacle course, which will provide supplementary training and also help men to practice the required skills, is being constructed on Bovard field.
Men will have to hurdle, dodge, climb fences, balance on logs, climb a 7-foot wall, negotiate a zig zag balance run, perform an overhead hand walk, n-oad jump, crawl through a barbed wire fence, and climb a rope and slide down an iron pipe.

Baxter to Read Poetry Monday
The first of Dr. Frank C. Baxter’s poetry reading sessions, which in the past have attracted a great deal of attention, and interest, will be held Monday, 11:45 a. m., Bowne hall. Dr. Baxter’s series topic for the Summer Session is “A Century of War Poetry.”
The first assembly will cover “Whitman and Some Poets of the Civil War.”
Dr. Baxter started his reading sessions several years ago at the request of students who wished to hear poetry purely for pleasure.

Following the outbreak of war, Dr. Baxter was named chairman of morale and was placed in charge of a poster contest for SC students and faculty members.
Other sub-topics for the Summer Session readings and the dates on which they will be discussed are as follows:
July 6—Kipling, Housman, and Imperialistic war.
July 13—Poetry of the first world war.
July 20—Aftermath and wasteland: 1919-1940.
July 27—Poetry of the second world war.
Von Hofe Stresses Value of Language
(Dr. Harold Ton Hofe, Instructor In the department or German, has consented to write a series of article* for the Summer Trojan wherein’ hs will discuss the needs and the essential nature of lintual abilities In time of war. This is his first paper.)
During the last six months the study of foreign languages has received stimulus from official quarters in Washington. The search for men and women trained adequately in foreign tongues has in some cases assumed frantic proportions. Governmental circles have even found it necessary to subsidize language study, paying stu-
dents up to $150 a month to devote themselves ftill time to the acquisition of another language. SITUATION EXPLAINED
Why are we in this predicament? The answer is not hard to find. We were fundamentally isolationists, not in the sense of the pre-war America First group but in the sense that we distrusted all things foreign. No other nation in history has had so large an immigration of foreigners, and we overcame ticklish complications by simply turning our backs to that which smacked of the foreign.
Our ostrich attitude in years past is costing us dearly now. We are at war with Germany and Japan,
but how much do we really know about these countries, so few being able to read German and Jap-enese. To be sure, there is a fraction with a really thorough knowledge of German, but Japanese could be Hottentot so far as most of us are concerned.
JAPS PERSEVERE Hie Japanese on the other hand, have been studying our language and civilization intensively for decades. Hitler, who has made English a required language in all German schools, sincerely hopes, I am sure, that we will continue our complacent indifference. Nazi students have read our literature and (Continued on Page Four)
Second Lt. Fred M. Sevier, of .the U.S. army air corps, was on hand to explain the deferred plan of the air corps.
Commander Kerr in explaining the NROTC program, stated that, “at the present time with the two ocean navy, the NROTC will probably be called upon to supply approximately one-third of ,the officer material for the navy.” He disclosed that there were openings for 90 men in the NROTC on the campus this year.
Mrs. Strong Gives SC Dresden China
The gift of a rare collection of royal Dresden china to SC by Mrs. Helen T. Olyphant Stiong of Pasadena was announced yesterday by President Rufus B. von KleinSmid.
The heirloom pieces, handed down to Mrs. Strong from past generations, were executed by past masters of a precision art which no longer exists.
Done by means of a magnifying glass to create minute lace-effects, many of the pieces are typical of the Louis XV period. Other figurines in costume of the French court augment the hand-painted chinaware, depicting elaborate historical scenes. Among the pieces are ceramic works of a Dresden shepherd and his song book, a cupid and scroll, a scene representing night and morning, and miniature floral settings.
Dr. Carl Sumner Knopf Dies in Salem, Oregon
Dr. Carl Sumner Knopf, former chaplain for the university, died Tuesday of a heart attack at his home in Salem, Ore.
Last August Dr. Knopf was appointed president of Willamette university in Oregon but resigned his post in May after a controversy arose among
the students over his registration for the selective service as a conscientious objector.
Intermittently a professor at the university since 1916, Dr. Knopf served as dean of the school of religion from 1936 until 1940.
Dr. Knopf was a Phi Beta Kappa and held several honorary degrees as well as his Ph. D. and D.D. degrees. He was an authority on biblical literature and historical and cuneiform documents. He was past president of the Southern California Academy of Sciences, the Southwestern Archaelogical federation, the South Coast Improvement association, and the League of Westers Writers.
Gfaduated from SC in 1913, Dr. Knopf took his B.D. and Ph. D. degrees at Yale. He taught psychology and was director of research at Fullerton junior college and was a visiting professor at Yale. He lectured in Britain under the Commission of Interchange of speakers.
Besides his academic work, Dr. Knopf served as associate editor of Words and was the author of several books on biblical literature.
Dr. Knopf was 52 and leaves his
widow, Mrs. Florence Knopf. Kis brother Albert Knopf of Los Angeles, said that funeral arrangements are as yet incomplete, but that services would be in Los Angeles. h
All men who are now freshmen* meaning men who have just entered college in their freshman year, must enlist in Class V-l of the naval reserve before the end of this summer semester or be ineligible. These men wiU not be eligible for any other ofi'cer’s training program in the navy 1/ they do not take advantage of V-l.
For men who have Just entered as sophomore or juniors and are under 20, their time of enlistment is up Nov. 1 if they have not Jjeen called by selective service by them.
“The main differences between the NROTC pprogram and the navy V-l program is that the former is a long-time program and is limited to a certain number. The V-l program is an emergency program and is not limited in number. Only freshmen are eligible to start the NROTC program, with the exception of certain students who are in the accelerated program.
Yeoman Lieffers, representative of the navy V program, explained the .V-l, V-5, and V-7 programs, adding a note of warning that, “men who are in the June 30tfc registration may be called before the first of the year, according to reliable sources.”
