Nazis burn Naples; Allies invade isles
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, North Africa, Sept. 21—(U.P.) —The Germans are burning and sacking Naples in evident preparation to abandon the Italian metropolis, front reports said tonight as the sweeping Allied Mediterranean offensive enveloped three Dodecanese islands and French forces, supported by Italians and patriots.

won more than half of Corsica.
A dispatch from B. H. T. Gingell, representing the combined Allied press, said that Naples was in flames and that a huge pall of smoke was visible over the city of nearly 1,000.000 population from Allied-held Procida island just outside the harbor. Reports indicated the Germans were systematically sacking the city and putting it to | the torch.
The Allied fifth army meanwhile had captured Eboli, German headquarters during last week's fierce battle of the Salerno bridgehead, and was fighting for access to the plain of Naples while the British eighth army swung wide on its right flank in a possible drive on Naples from the rear.
Seizure of thre-e Dodecanese islands by British forces smashed the German Aegean defense ring and put the Allies on the offensive along a 1000-mile land, air, and sea front in the Mediterranean extending from within one mile of neutral Turkey to within 110 miles of mainland France.
(Prime Minister Winston Churchill revealed in London that American forces had landed on Sardinia to occupy formally the big Italian island from which Italian troops ousted the Germans. Turkish reports said that the southern half of Sardinia was now under Allied control, including the port of Cagliari and its surrounding airfields.)
Missing covers delay Wampus
Because covers are necessary to complete the composition of magazines and because the covers for the Wampus, campus humor magazine, have not yet arrived, delivery of the first publication will be delayed until Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday and may not appear until Monday, Lynne Cohne, editor, announced today.
When the covers arrive to bind the long-before-finished inside contents and the magazine is available to students, Trojans are asked to save their copies.
bonds at coliseum
To aid the third nationwide bond drive, SC and UCLA representatives will sell bonds and stamps at the coliseum Saturday, and the first 50 buyers of $5000 bonds will sit in special seats on the two teams’ benches.
Selling for SC will be the Trojan Amazons, women’s honorary service organization, in compe-
tition with a service organization from UCLA, according to Carroll Brinkerhoff, chairman of the stamp drive on campus.
Trojans and friends are urged to buy bonds from SC representatives, so that Troy’s total will exceed that of UCLA. Those persons wishing to buy $5000 bonds should contact Arnold Eddy, business manager of athletics, in his office, 209 Student Union. Twenty-five seats on the Trojan bench have been reserved for these purchasers buying through Mr. Eddy’s office.
SC and UCLA bond-sellers will be stationed in Victory huts outside the coliseum. These huts will be staffed also by members of the American Women’s Voluntary society and a special bond and stamp committee.
Socials planned by committee
Programs for forthcoming servicemen’s social affairs will be outlined by the ASSC social committee at a meeting in 233 Student Union at 12:45 p.m. today, according to Pat Parke.
Students requested to attend include Betty Jany, Jean Working, Margaret Ann Hausman, Pat Ebey, Bill Caldwell, Dorothy Smith, Margaret Malcolm, Don Ferguson, Bill Stevens, Jack Armi-tage, Dave Lavelle, Cal Straub, and Stuart Skeele.

Sasnett describes war poetry force
Poetry ‘‘tries to catch the accent of the whirlwind or the storm and to reproduce that irf the sweep and thunder of the poetic line.”
J. Randolph Sasnett, executive secretary of religious activities, paraphrased Gayley’s quotation yesterday when he presented the 10th in the series of weekly book interpretations by saying, “At least a few poets have caught the varied accents of the tornado that is devastating the world today.”
Some poets “sound only the furies of hatred,” said Dr. Sas-
Victory Hut sales hit $21,000 level

nett. “In a few we may still recognize the ‘still small voice’ of hope, of courage, of faith that there is a Power, beneficient and creative, which is resourceful enough to bring human worth to its own at long last—yet realistic enough to recognize the lusts and cynicisms to be overcome.”
The first of the books which Dr. Sasnett used for illustration was “A Winter Tide” by Robert Nathan. Nathan is a Christian Jew who attempts to preach tolerance. An ironic note is injected into all of his writings. He expresses an opinion that realism makes the possibility of faith and hope a question.
Amos N. Wilder, the author of “The Healing of the Waters,” writes in an involved and complex style. Being a professor of Testament interpretation, his poetry is written from a religious point of view.
Hazel Littlefield Smith’s “Mortal Harvests” records a strong note of faith as does all her poetry.

“Sales of student activity books have increased 200 per cent during the past week. If the present rate of sales continues until Saturday, the Trojan rooting section will be more than filled,” Bob Fisk, rally chairman, said yesterday.
Approximately 1600 seats are available in the rooting section, which is located between the 40 yard lines in the coliseum.
The $5.50 activity book enables holders to attend other athletic events besides the football games, with admission to dances and drama productions as well. Also on sale at the cashier’s office are $1.50 activity books for servicemen who will be at SC for only the first two games.
Students who are accepted for enrollment in November or returning students are eligible to purchase their activity books by mailing in their order to the ticket department

or buying them at the cashier’s office on showing a student body card from last term or an okey from the Admission’s office on their entrance into SC in November.
Ten per cent of the coliseum is allotted for free seating to servicemen. These seats are located on the northeast side near the goal, and are not considered as the Trojan rooting section. All SC trainees who wish to participate in the rooting section, and the card stunts must buy an activity book, and are urged to do so and thus save the other seats for out-of-town servicemen.
All students purchasing an activity book are requested to show their student body card.
Single tickets to all the games will be sold a week in advance of the specified game at a cost of $2.20 and will permit entrance to
the rooting section.
of the trainees who have signed for the Sept. 30 visit of the mobile unit will be transferred to the Oct. 4 date and will give their blood with civilian students. Bill Ryan, chairman of the servicemen’s bloodban* committee, announced yesterday that the names of these men will be posted on the watch officer’s bulletin board.
According to Miss Lucille New-mark, manager of the mobile unit from downtown Red Cross headquarters, the Los Angeles bloodbank can accommodate the greatest number of donations in the United States and recently set a record by collecting 356 pints of plasma from the Douglas Aircraft corporation, Long Beach. She stated that SC can break this record if appointments are kept and if every donor repots to the unit on time.
Donations will be given in the main library and reception room of E. von KleinSmid hall from 12 to 4 p.m. Sept. 30 and Oct. 4, Betty May Rinehart, chairman of the drive, announced.
Miss Rinehart emphasized that students should eat no meal for four hours preceding their blood donations. Following each donation, the Red Cross will serve student donors coffee, doughnuts and orange juice.
Trainees who will give their blood Sept. 30 will be excused from physical fitness classes Sept. 30 and Oct.
1 and morning exercises, while those who give blood Oct. 4 will be excused from physical fitness Oct. 4, 5, and 6, Ryan pointed out.
The latest figures from each hall show that the marines contributed 250 donors; E. von KleinSmid hall. 105; Henderson hall, 104; Newkirk hall, 101; and Owens hall. 43. Representatives who stimulated the signup of trainees were Sgt. C. H. Miller, Reynolds hall; Corporal “Lucky” Reed, Williams hall; Fred Benson and Howard Callanan, Newkirk hall; Ned Reilly and Howard Magor. Henderson hall; Johnny Kimball and Bob Mueller, Owens hall; and Jerry Fox and Ed Diener, E. von KleinSmid hall.
