During a meeting yesterday in Old College the student actors decided to have each of their productions this semester “help in some way to win the war.” Miss Joan Miles, director of the group, admitted that this was not going to be a task for the faint of heart.
“The schedule we shall follow for the semester will be two complete plays each month,” she -said. James Hilton’s “Lost Horizon” will be the first effort. It will be pre-. sented some time in March.

Pump blowout halts dunking
The reason Troy swimmers in droves have been turned away from the warm, ultra-sanitary SC swimming pool was divulged today by William Ralph LaPorte, head of the
physical education department. For the first time in recent years a circulating pump blew out thereby causing an immediate stoppage in the filtering of water through the large pipes.
The pump is essential in circulating water through the pipes every eight hours, three complete turnovers taking place daily. This process results in the water in SC’s pool being approximately 600 times purer than Los Angeles drinking water.
LaPorte contended that “the water we drink in Los Angeles isn’t pure erough to swim in.” The continuous filtering process removes all dirt and sediment from the water.
Incidentally, swimming in “the cleanest water in Los Angeles” will be resumed starting today.
Petty to address German group
Featuring an address by Donald Petty, SC dental student who was Mormon missionary in Germany from 1936 to 1939, a meeting of the German club will be held Tuesday at 12 noon in Bridge hall.

Whoever runs the Student Union is a good businessman. But he could be better. Water is easily worth 10 cents a glass. Napkins should not be served at all. One spoon can do for a table of four, and forks are unnecessary.—W.R.

may draft men after war
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 — (U.P.)— The “national military training act of 1943,” a bill to create a virile postwar army of young men to safeguard the “peace and security of future generations/’ was introduced in both houses of congress today.
If enacted, the legislation would compel all boys reaching 18 after the war to undergo one year of military training before they turn 20.
The youths could choose between the army and navy and would become “active reservists” for four years after completing their training. They also would be subject to “refresher courses” in subsequent years.
The legislation was introduced in the senate by Chan Gurney, R., S. D., and in the house by James W. Wadsworth, R., N. Y., co-author of the original selective service law.
The preamble contains a provision calling on congress to inaugurate the program “as soon as practicable after the cessation of hostUities” for the fullest utilization of materials used and experience gained In defeating the Axis in World War II.
“ . . . the reservists of trained military. manpower built up at such enormous expense of blood and treasury during the present war,” it reads, “should be maintained in full vigor for the peace and security of future generations.
M . . . this end can be assured only through a system of military training for all able-bodied male citizens in their early manhood «w . there can be no thoroughly effective national defense system that does not rest trpon the principle that all citizens of a free state should be trained te defend their country.”
