War Chest drive hits peak
With sorority women and trainees’ contributions taken, j out that those not included in this list have not turned in
the War Chest campaign will reach its peak this morning when students who have not given by sorority or barrack will donate during 10 o’clock classes.
Bill Ryan, chairman of the drive, urged that all students who have not received pledge cards should report to the Victory Hut between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. today to make their contribution.
Women who are helping in the collection of contributions during 10 a.m. classes should report to 203 Student Union at 9:45 a.m. today, according to Kathleen Gelcher, classroom registration chairman.
Totals of the drive will be announced next week and will include contributions from sorority members, trainees, non-org students, and faculty members. To date, the sorority contributing the largest amount is Zeta Tau Alpha with $215, followed by Delta Gamma, $205; Kappa Alpha Theta, $189; Alpha Delta Pi, $165; Alpha Chi Omega, $129; and Kappa Delta, $114.
Sallie Unmack, chairman of the sorority signup, pointed
their donation check as yet, and that the totals listed do not take into consideration the smaller memberships of some houses. All but two houses have pledged 100 per cent of their membership for at least $3.
Coed mascots boosting donations in the service barracks have aroused a spirit of competition among the trainees’ residences, and totals according to percentages are expected I to be close at the end of the drive. Bob Meyer, servicemen’s drive chairman, expects donation figures to reach great proportions and re-emphasized that a plaque of honor will be given to the barrack contributing the most in proportion to the number of men in the hall. In about three weeks the plaque will be presented formally by President Rufus B. von KleinSmid.
Each faculty member and employee of the university has reeeived a personally addressed pledge card. They should turn in their contributions to the Information office, Administration building, today, or as soon as possible. Checks should be made payable to the Los Angeles area War Chest.

Anthony Eden tells Commons invasion near
LONDON, Nov. 11—(HE)—Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden indicated in the house of commons today that big scale and carefully coordinated American - British - Russian military action against Germany and its satelites was near, and belief strengthened here that when it came, Turkey would be in it.
Reporting on the tripartite conference at Moscow, which he said had exceeded even his own hopes, Eden said he recognized the extent of Interest in the shortening of the •war.
“The result of our discussions on this head can only be made public as it develops at the expense of the common enemy. I have confidence that the development will be found generally satisfactory by members in all parts of the house.”
He added that he believed the military discussions at Moscow did more good to mutual relations, because of a “frank and exhaustive examination,” than any other phase of the conference;
“I am glad to have had the opportunity of meeting the Turkish minister for foreign affairs,” Eden said. “We exchanged views on the general situation in the light of the results of the Moscow conference. My Turkish colleague has now returned to Ankara to report the outcome of those conversations to his government. Meanwhile there is nothing further I can say.”
efever interprets resent world ills
That many of the world’s troubles are caused by irration-lism was emphasized by Dr. D. Welty Lefever, professor of ducation, in an interpretation of Franz Alexander’s book, Our Age of Unreason,” in the first meeting of the book terpretation series Wednesday.
Dr. Lefever dealt chiefly with ir- |-
tionalism in regard to world imentai dependency. He also ex-
blems. He stressed the influence Sigmund Freud, pioneer in psy-ology who believed that intellect subordinate to irrationalism, ud set many of the concepts of odern psychology and psychiatry. Dr. Lefever showed that Ger-any was yet instilled with the tocratic spirit of feudal tiir.es. e emprasized that the people of Germany lelt secure only in a reg-
plained the similarity of the Japanese and German type of feudalism.
The next book to be interpreted in the series will be “The Judgement of the Nations,” by Christopher Dawson. It will be interpreted Wednesday by Dr. Leon H. Ellis, professor of international relations, in the art and lecture room, Doheny library, at 2:30 p.m.
Council eliminates athletic contests
For the first time in SC’s recent history there, will be no interfraternity athletic contests, Bob Campbell, former vice-president and now acting president of the interfraternity council, announced yesterday following the council’s first meeting this term.
It was also decided to combine the interfraternity formal with the junior prom which was done for the first time last year. “The way things look now the dance will be sometime in January,” Campbell said.
Campbell has taken over the duties of president-elect Bob Tobias, who was declared ineligible, and will lead the group this winter.
A field day involving swimming, basketball, and track events, to be held sometime before Christmas, is to be substituted for the former interfraternity sports contest, Campbell revealed.
A freshman orientation day will be held the second week in December to acquaint freshmen with the presidents of different men’s organizations on campus and their functions, the council decided.
Long distance calls heaven via sorority
Women In a university house at an eastern college recently adopted a policy of answering the telephone with a jaunty quip rather than a trite “hello.”
One coed, answering a ring, murmured:
“This is heaven, which angel would you like to speak to?”
A long pause on the other end of the line was finally broken by the operator, who said:
“Well, this Is long distance, but I didn’t want to go that far.”
SC demands El Rodeo
An indication that students are waging an all-out campaign for a 1944 El Rodeo, the Trojan office was flooded Wednesday and yesterday with letters requesting a yearbook, and not one among these letters was against the publication for this year.
The following is a portion of those received:
Editor, Trojan:
A great number of Trojan students have been inquiring as to whether there is going to be an EH Rodeo this year. All the students are of the same opinion, and I believe it would be a credit to the school.
Dorothy Golden.
Editor, Trojan:
v Congratulations to the Trojan for printing the true facts concerning the projected non-appearance of the El Rodeo. Here we had been deluded into believing that yearbooks just wouldn’t be the vogue in ’44. Consequently, the discovery that UCLA was issuing not one but two annuals, and in technicolor yet, certainly was a rude awakening to one who had always felt that Troy was several notches above the Westwood peasants.
What freshman hasn’t looked forward to having his picture in the annual under the caption, “Graduating Seniors?” This writer is on his final lap, as far as college semesters go. Not having the oppor-
tunity to purchase an El Rodeo at ,the end of several years of college life, while knowing that such a situation was not due to any valid reasons, would be no great cause for rejoicing, to say the least.
Milan Gosick.
Editor, Trojan:
We always look forward to the El Rodeo, and I think that if we didn’t have one, a lot of the school spirit and tradition of SC would be lost.
D. Janet Michaels.
Editor, Trojan:
Everyone would be willing to pitch in and help if we could just have an El Rodeo. It’s an SC tradition.
Mary Blake.
Editor, Trojan:
All of us who are new to SC have been looking forward to an El Rodeo as a remembrance of our first year at college. We hope we won t be disappointed.
Betty May Rinehart.
U.S. Marines
win beachhead at Bougainville
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS,
Southwest Pacific, Friday, Nov. 12 —(U.P)—American marines, strongly reinforced by army troops and powerfully supported from the air, have established a firm beachhead on the north side of Empress Augusta bay on western Bougainville island in the northern Solomons, it was announced today.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s Friday communique reported that ground troops at Empress Augusta bay “have completed their consolidation of the area, which is now firmly secured.”
Mitchell bombers participated In the consolidation, it was revealed, by bombing and strafing Japanese positions at the tiny Laru-ma river at the northern extremity of the American-held area.
MacArthur’s communique said that American paratroopers who in the capacity of seaborne infantrymen invaded Choiseul island, 30 miles southeast of Bougainville, had accomplished their mission and left the island.
The paratrocrp battalion, which forced a landing on Choiseul Oct. 28, withdrew Nov. 5.
Its accomplishment, MacArthur’s spokesman explained, was to divert the attention of the enemy on powerfully fortified south Bougainville and the Shortland islands while a strong force of marines were seizing the western Bougainville beachhead.
Rose Bowl bid looms for locals
by Warren Steinberg
SC’s Rose Bowl bid wiU fO on the block tomorrow afternoon when the underdog Trojans tangle with a marauding Fourth Air Force eleven in the coliseum at 2:30.
If Jeff Cravath’s gridders win tomorrow or even make a good showing against their topnotch rivals, 2-1 favorites, league officials will vote Washington and SC into the Pasadena classic, Jan. 1. Hopes of bringing an eastern team to the coast have disappeared, so it looks like a cinch to be an all-coast Rose Bowl game for the first time in the bowl’s history.
On figures alone the Trojans are definitly not in a class with the March Field outfit. The Flyers beat UCLA more than twice as badly as did the locals. Captain Paul Schiss-ler’s lads triumphed over San Diego navy, and the Trojans lost to the same club last week. SC thumped St. Mary’s preflight, 13-0, and th« army club won 7-6, but the SC victory was before Bruce Smith hit his stride, while the Flyers’ win was gained with the former all-American at his best.
March Field has a 16 lb. weight advantage for the entire team. While two of Troy’s backfield aces are on the Injured list, Duane White Whitehead and Eddie Saens, Schissler’s team is at full strength. Cravath is starting three freshmen: .the Flyer mentor is starting easily that many potential all-Americans.
The March Field backfield of Ollie Day, former SC great; Bob DeFruiter, fleet-footed right half; Jimmie Nelson, all-American left half; and Sal Rosato, crashing 220 lb. fullback, is rated among the best in the nation.
Hopes for a Trojan victory will rest on the shoulders of three newcomers to the football limelight, Edsel Curry, Milford Dreblow, and Jerry Shipkey. All three lads played a major role in Cravath s recent backfield shakeup. Against San Diego, Curry and Dreblow were the big guns and have earned first string berths. Shipkey, ineligible for a major part of the season, has tuned up against two junior varsity (Continued on Page Three)
Yesterdays Hut sales top $150
More than $150 in war bonds were sold at the Trojan Victory Hut yesterday, putting total sales in the winter bond and stamp drive above $7800. according to Kappa Delta sorority, in charge of the Hut this week.
Carroll Brinkerhoff, chairman of the committee in charge of the drive, expressed the desire to attain the $60,000 goal set for the sales. She said yesterday that the committee was planning rallies to publicize the effort.
Noon dances continue for V-12s, civilians
Continuation of noon dances held last term was announced today by Lloyd Ross, chairman in charge of the all-U affairs.
Ross said that new records have arrived, and that a good selection of music is now available for all types of dancing. The dances will be held in the physical education dance studio from noon to 1:10 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
“We’re looking forward to as good a turnout this term as last,” Ross declared. “It’s a grand chance for the new students to get acquainted.”
According to Ross, the dances have proved popular both with the civilian students and to SC naval V-12 trainees.
“Not only do the dances give Trojans a chance to get acquainted,” said Ross, “but they also provide recreation and an entertaining means of spending the noon hour.”
Ex-Staff member visits Trojan
Pvt. John Williams, assistant editor of the Trojan for a short period during the spring term, returned to SC on furlough from his post at Camp Hood, Tex.
Before leaving for army duty last April, Williams won the 1M3 Sigma Delta Chi reporting award, which is given annually to the best reporter on the Trojan.
