p STATEMENT RECEIVED

Therefore my personal well-ad-;d advice to all students concern-is for them to continue with |ir studies during the second term.
[THING TO LOSE
They have nothing to lose and, n a wise selection of courses, ;ht not only advance themselves [ard their degree objectives, but gain an advantage in the war I'ices because of their better pre-ition.
klen who have definite dates of frment, the army air forces and lines, for example, should not any douhts about their stat-
'hey certainly are expected to tinue with their studies.”

Victory Book Campaign Calls for Donations
Gutenberg started something when he inaugurated printing pamphlets and books, but out of the billion or so books printed since his day, only 75 have been turned over to the Victory Book campaign at SC. The goal is 2500, and the drive closes Feb. 22.
“We haven’t had the results that we had expected,” said Miss Christian R. Dick, librarian. “I think the response will pick up soon when the fraternities and sororities start sending their contribution^ The books are often divided into units of 40 when they are received at the reception centers. Some houses, I think, are working toward such a unit and these will probably be turned in as a complete section from the group.”
Charles Aylesbury, president of Delta Sigma Phi, announced that one of these victory units will be presented to the drive soon after final examinations are over for Delta Sig members. “Lots of fellows are joining up right after final exams and intend giving their discarded text books to the drive,” announced Aylesbury.

“I’ll take $25,400 worth of bonds, please.”
This was the matter of fact way that Pvt. Robert H. Klemptner, former Trojan, addressed Miss Edyth Noggle, war bond sales girl at the North American Aircraft plant last Saturday.
“You’re kidding, of course,” Miss Noggle replied.
Klemptner, a member of the SC chapter of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity, was serious, however,' and when the salesgirl saw the check for $25,400, she stared and then handed him the correct amount of bonds.
Klemptner attended SC from 1936 to 1939, dropping out of school to accept a position as vice-president of his father’s wholesale carpet business.
He admitted that a $50-a-month soldier cannot go around buying $25,400 worth of bonds, and explained that the money was made up of his earnings in the carpet business last year.

RAF Repeats Berlin Attack
LONDON, Jan. 18 —(l’.P)— A force of the RAF’s biggest bombers, perhaps as many as 500, smashed again at Berlin for two hours last night with four-ton blockbusters and thousands of fire bombs which turned huge sections of the German capital into a mass of flames, and tonight jubilant Britons urged that Rome be made the next target.
Last night’s raid appeared to uave been the heaviest of 55 attacks on what the RAF calls “the big city” since the first on Aug. 25, 1940. The Sunday night raid cost the RAF 22 planes compared to only one lost Saturday night when Berlin’s defenses were caught flat-footed by the first British attack in 14 i^onths.
But the price was cheap. Today ; Britain knew at last it was giving more than it was taking. The Germans sent about 60 planes against this country on two attacks during the night but the effort cost them 10 more bombers.
