War Board sets confab
Searles reviews book on Germany
How could the Germany that Bach, Kant, and Goethe knew become Hitler’s accomplice in a career of crime? This will be one of the questions answered by Dr. Herbert L. Searles, associate professor of philosophy, when he interprets the book “Freedom Forgotten and Remembered,” by Helmut Kuhn, today, 2:30 p.m., in the art and lecture room of Doheny library.
The book, as the name implies, deals with the German people who forgot their ancient heritage of freedom in a frenzy or despair after Germany was defeated in the first World war.
“Philosophical rationalism yielded to the trends of the time. Reason was held in suspense, and Hitler’s propaganda easily todothe place of logical thought,’*' declared Dr. Searles.
In addition to discussing the thought life of Germany, its polities, literature, and philosophy, Kuhn gives a message of hope for the future possibilities of Germany he stated.
Plans have been completed for the two-day California-Arizona Intercollegiate War Activity Conference, sponsored by UCLA, USC, and Occidental college, according to Patty Wiese, War Board chairman.

University officials from the three schools and the Los Angeles Newspaper publishers association are sponsoring the conference which will open with a dinner Friday evening.
The conference is planned to acquaint students with the problems of war activities and enable them to share ideas and solutions to these problems. Through the medium of panel discussions students will be able to associate their ideas.

university dig we had for the servicemen last summer,” said Leta Galentine, acting ASSC president, “and we want this to go over even better than the last one.” Sweaters and skirts for the women have been suggested by panhellenic. The affair is to be informal and “just a lot of fun for everyone,” according to Miss Working.
The dig for Jan. 28 also will be an open house of the sororities east of University avenue, similar to this week’s event.
presidents of Letters, Arts, and Sciences; Commerce, Music, Engineering, Pharmacy, and International Relations. Students elected to these positions automatically become members of the senate.
Presidents of the various classes will be elected Jan. 31 also. Qualifications for office is a 1.5 grade point average and membership in the class. Class presidents will be senate members.
The yell leader and his two assistants will also be chosen in the forthcoming election. These positions do not make the men eligible for senate seats.
Requirements for students filing petitions to hold office are a 1.5 grade point average, completion of 72 units of work at SC, attendance for two consecutive years at SC, and regular standing in the university.
A resolution recently passed by the senate lowered the unit requirements from 90 to 72 that service men might hold office. This situation is to last for the duration only, according to Leta Galentine, acting ASSC president.
A nomination assembly will be held Friday, Jan. 28 at noon in Bovard auditorium. Miss Galentine (Continued on Page Four)
What's this, no candidates?
by the Groundhog
After disillusioning my readers in Monday’s column by promising a candidate for ASSC president, I was as surprised as they were to find that at present there are no candidate. The machine or whatever you wish to call it, cannot offer a groomed aspirant. The KAs have no presidential nomination to offer. In what light does this put the coming election?
The interest in the coming ASSC^vote slipped a notch when I announced that Jim Hardy, Don Shaw, and Norm Stow would not run. Three of the strongest possibilities were eliminated in my mind. Four other men are placed under inspection in today’s column. This has become a process of elimination.
Where does Phi Sigma Kappa’s ambitious boy Bill Ryan fit into the picture? Would he like to fill the shoes of his predecessor in the Trojan business office—that of Bill Caldwell?
Publicity-conscious Ryan, having just returned from a stay in the Long Beach navy hospital, would like the driver’s seat if it were offered to him, but to his dismay neither the fraternity powers or his fraternity has approached him on the matter.
The Phi Sigs fair-haired boy has done a good Job on whatever he has set out to accomplish. The first blood drive and the quota breaking War Chest drive, both of which he headed, are examples of Ryan’s ability to put something over.
Chances are that the Trojan business manager will put in his bid for College of Commerce head whether he gets backing or not.
Bigwig Bob Campbell should be excluded from the coming political scene as the navy has made reservations elsewhere come February.
This blond-haired Kappa Sig stepped into the shoes of former Knight president Bob Fisk and tackled the Rally committee job during Troy’s successful pigskin season.
Campbell also holds the job of Interfraternity president. He originated the idea of having a Trojan Victory Queen. At present he •*' serving on the election registration committee.
Henderson hall’s biggest BMOC is now completing his sixth term at SC. He has over a 1.5 grade average. Unless the navy decides otherwise Campbell is slated to hit the road at the end of this I
term.
Where does the man of many factions—and yet he is a non-org —fit in? He gives the impression that he represents the machine, the paper, and the independents all at once—and he’ll sell you an El Rodeo on the side? I’m speaking of Tyler MacDonald, business manager of the SC yearbook.
Mr. MacDonald of Mad Marine fame has an invite to Parris Island in about a month and a half—if they want him. Tyler is known for pulling strings, and if the marine contingent remains don’t be surprised if he sticks his name on the LAS ballot.. I have an idea the marines are not, __(Continued on Page Four)
