Students who unwittingly pick up a DT at the same old stand tomorrow morning will have no claim to the statement that they were rfiot forewarned. For herein lies the warning.
Tomorrow the Trojan will be different. Devotion to the evolution of sport at Troy will shadow each column; cuts of the greatest athletes and of the coeds’ favorite “gridiron passers” will fill the pages.
Bill Carter, Harley Tinkham, and Lee Schulman, who comprise the sports staff of the Daily Trojan, will handle the all-male edition, an innovation at SC. They are putting last-minute touches on summaries of the year’s major and minor sports calendars, compiling statistics, and writing character studies of the athletic “characters.”
And, just as a sidelight, Bob Brandson, editor of the DT, proclaimed that reporters who regularly work on Monday will be excused today, and may make up their fourth floor duties either tomorrow or Wednesday.
Wives set final events
Several events of varied nature have been scheduled by members of the Faculty Wives club to close their current calendar of affairs.
The literary discussion section will be guests of Mrs. Adamantios Th. Polyzoides at her home on May
20,	with Mrs. Eleazar Lecky serving as chairman. Other parties include a meeting of the art section, a book review, and a bridge party.
No days set aside for finals
By action of the Student Scholarship committee, there will be no days set aside for final examinations as in the past. In each course a one-hour examination is to be given at the last class meeting of the term. It shall count for not more than one quarter of the credit for the course.
Course work and examinations for candidates for degrees and certificates at the convocation on May 23 must be completed by Saturday, May 15, and final grades for these students must be filed at the office of the registrar not later than Monday, May 17, at 5 p.m.
This notice applies to University college and civic center classes scheduled to close in June, as well as to day classes. Lists of graduating students will be sent to instructors by the office of the registrar.
The office of the registrar announces it is desirable that all students be informed regarding their term grades as soon as possible after final examinations. Instructors will therefore arrange to release grades to members of their classes, using for this purpose the class admission cards on which space was provided for final grades. These cards may be distributed through departmental offices, or in any other way arranged by instructors with their classes. The usual official grade reports will be made to the office of the registrar on grade sheets to be provided by
that office.

Mortar Board elects officers
Fresh from the athletic field will come Amazon Editha Finch to take up the more sedate task of guiding the destinies of Mortar Board, senior women’s honorary.
Miss Finch, former president of the Women’s Athletic association, was announced as successor to Mary Kay Krysto at the annual initiation breakfast of Mortar Board last Friday morning.
Other officers will be Kathleen Gelcher, vice-president; Dorothy Smith, secretary; Claire Laub, treasurer; and Nora Paredes, chapter editor.
Last year Miss Finch became one of the first junior women to be elected to the presidency of the WAA and in that position was a member of the student senate and of the AWS cabinet. She has been prominent in activities since she came from Los Angeles High school in 1940 where she was an Ephebian. The new vice-president, Miss Gelcher, is an Amazon and a member of the Spooks and Spokes and Phrateres. She is also on the staff of the Daily Trojan where she edits the entertainment page and one women’s page every week.
Secretarial duties will take much of Miss Smith’s time next year for she will also be secretary of the ASSC. A member of Kappa Delta sorority, Miss Smith has been president of Panhellenic during the last year and a member of Trojan Amazons.
Alpha Chi Claire Laub is also a Trojan Amazon and a member of the National Collegiate Players, a drama group. Miss Paredes is desk editor and feature editor on the Daily Trojan and an Amazon. All five of the officers were initiated into Mortar Board last Friday after they and eighf others were tapped for membership at the annual Recognition banquet last Wednesday evening. The others are Miss Frances McHale, secretary to the dean of women, who was made an honorary member; Leta Galen tine, Jackie Orlander, Pat Grover, Louise Koch, Lynn Norby, Carroll Brinkerhoff, and Betty Coman.
Social work awards offered
Numerous scholarships and fellowships are being offered to "graduate students between the ages of 22 and 40, in social work. The awards will be in effect starting June 28.
Eight L.A. County General hospital fellowships of $75 a month for a maximum of three terms are open. The American Red Cross is offering scholarship aid of $65 a month and full tuition paid for a maximum of two terms. Upon completion of the scholarship course, students are obligated to accept employment with the Red Cross for two years or pay back the money.
Hospital field work is in a student training center in the Los Angeles County General hospital. Acceptance of civil service appointments for a period of time is obligatory upon completion of the Master of Social Work degree requirements.
Scholarships are also open for medical social workers, the field work being offered in various Los Angeles health centers.
annually invited guest critics, who, in the words of President Rufus B. von KleinSmid, “will be held accountable for reports on the student works performed,” Robert Minco read a short story by himself called “One of the Boys”—a story of a would-be deserter who realizes his patriotic duty when he catches a bunch of saboteurs ready to blow up a bridge.
The story possessed a great deal of sound psychology, though the theme, perhaps, was a bit trite. It was read with force and conviction, and the audience responded enthusiastically.
Claire Laub’s interpretation of Henry Gronert’s short story “The New Order" was done with dramatic vitality and understanding.
Then followed a few original musical compositions by Paul Silva and Frank Desby. Silva played his own piano work “Ca-priccio,” while in the absence of Desby, Frank Youkstetter interpreted his “Una Prelude a Eloise” and “Roulades,” two highly modem works, which reminded of Debussy.
Of the two dances presented, “From out of the Darkness” by Marcia Miller and “Nostalgia” by Harriette Ann Williams, the latter, which described a refugee tom between conflicting forces, made a more lasting impression.
Carroll Brinkerhoff gave excellent proof of acting ability*in her amusing little monodrama “Preparing for the Solomons.” A tickled audience responded generously.
Most appreciated of all contributions presented during the evening was John Tyler Macdonald’s “Dream of Every Man”—a powerful monodrama read by the author himself. It was delivered with a simplicity and sincerity that only the originator of the work could render.
After intermission, the most famous Daily Trojan editorial of 1942, “Transition to Hatred,” opened the second half of the extensive program. Author was Bob Brandson, editor of the Daily Trojan, whose contribution previously had been awarded the Ruth Apperson Eaker Editorial Award. Clarence Arnold Interpreted.
Several poems by Evelyn Corby, Carolyn Mueller, and Myra L. Snow were given fine rendition by Grace Dickson, Phyllis Perry, and Ralph Jordan.
Last contribution on the program was a play by Leroy Rum-sey entitled “A Modem Harlequinade” performed with much humor by Joan Andrew, Carl Nixon, Jim George, and Bettye Hughes.

munique announced tonight.
It was an all-American raid, planes and crews, and the greatest ever made by daylight in this theater of the war.
Besides the fortresses. B-26 Marauder and B-25 Mitchell medium bombers, escorted, by P-38 Lightning fighters, made the raid and crews reported great damage inflicted on the harbor area.
From their bases behind the allied lines in Tunisia, the American planes streaked over the 90-mile Sicily strait and on to the northwest coast to attack the big axis base. \
The giant fortresses went over Palermo at noon with their escort of Lightnings.
Half an hour later, wave by wave, went the squadrons of American Marauders and Mitchells.
The target was the tightly-packed one-square-mile of the Palermo harbor and industrial area, and the damage was tremendous.
More than five times the weight of bombs dropped in any previous one raid in this zone hurtled on the targets in the great softening-up raid. British warships also joined the fight, standing off the peninsula and hurling shells into axis positions and prowling coastal waters to cut down ships trying to evacuate the enemy.
It was Dunkirk, Poland, and France in reverse.
Capt. Dean Draemel, of Freemont, Neb., pilot of a Mitchell bomber which was in action against Cap Bon Saturday, said:
“We could see a steady stream of trucks with trailers pouring over roads toward Cap Bon in a dash for the sea where we already had destroyed their boats. There’s no way for them to escape. If they continue to resist it will mean their complete annihilation.”
The score on Saturday for the allied airmen was two ships sunk and four damaged; 17 enemy planes destroyed; and a heavy attack by more than 100 bombers loosed against the strategic Italian island of Pantelleria between Italy and Sicily, all at a cost of only 12 allied planes.
The navy, which has had fleets of motor torpedo boats out blockading the axis escape route since Friday night, announced that British warships shelled the little port of Kelibia, on the eastern tip of Cap Bon, Saturday .light and again at dawn today.
“There is no sign at present that the enemy is attempting any wholesale evacuation by sea,” said a Royal navy announcement.
The axis appeared powerless to halt the ferocious air attacks for allied pilots reported encountering very few enemy planes. Most of the allied air losses were inflicted by anti-aircraft fire.
The allied airmen were doing a triple job—hammering the retreating foe; scouring the Sicilian straits for shipping and reaching out across the Mediterranean to bomb Italian areas.
The airfield at Pantelleria was hit by bombers and by U. S. Lightning fighter-bombers. Seven unidentified planes were destroyed on the ground the^.
