Gone, but not forgotten' cry 5-week refugees
With no cramming to do for
another month or so, Trojans can toss their books aside now that last week’s arduous torture is over. The five-week exams are history, and whas some of the inmates of this institution will say when they see their marks is unprintable.
Some of the profs were kindly souls or forgetful pedants, and neglected to give the usual tri-term revelations of ignorance. But most of these easy-going faculty members had Machiavellian methods in their madness. They base the five-week averages on daily grades, which is unfair to the lazy majority on campus who had planned to burn the midnight oil to bring their grades up to respectable levels on the recent exams.
But those that flunk can console themselves with the old adages that they’ll do better next time, and, besides, the profs don’t grade fairly anyway.

The three-week post session of the summer school will start Monday, Aug. 14, and end Friday, Sept. 1. Registration for the post session will begin today in the registrar’s office, according to Howard W. Patmore, SC registrar. Students who wish to enroll may do so any time this week.
Classes for the three-week term are listed in the yellow-covered schedule, and they may be identified by the letter P in front of the class number.
Patmore announced the program limitations for the post session Friday. They are three units for those not enrolled in the nine-weeks or 16-weeks term, and one unit for those taking nine or more units in the 16-weeks term. A student may not sign up for the post session if his present load is more than 13 units.
All the classes in the new session will meet five days a week. Two unit courses require attendance two hours per day, while one unit courses necessitate one hour a day in class. There are no three unit courses offered.
Students may obtain the necessary registration materials any day this week from the registrar’* office in the Administration building from 8:30 to 5 p.m., announced Mr. Patmore.

As the Yanks swung east, they sent the Germans tumbling back on Paris in their first great retreat on the western front, their ranks in “complete and utter confusion,” according to a front report from Henry T. Gorrell of the United Press.
The Yanks smashed 18 miles east of Vitre in their opening drive into central France and took Laval, a city of 25.000, then veered 17 miles southward and captured Chateau du Gontier on the main railroad to Paris via Le Mans.

Declaring that the present regime of Francisco Franco in Spain is “transitory and incapable of preserving national unity" in the future, Dr. Ignacio Maria de Lojendio, head of the department of political science of the University of Seville, Spain, addressed a group of SC instructors and students Thursday in Bowne hall.
Dr. Lojendio pictured the future of Spain as having vital influence in the equilibrium of postwar international relations.
He was, however, unable to assure his listeners what form of government might be adopted in Spain following the present government which he described as a “military dictatorship.”
“The habit of monarchy," said Dr. Lojendio, “having been cultivated through 20 centuries of rule by kings and queens, certainly must be reckoned with.”
, He stated the common purpose of postwar nations as being the preservation of harmony and furtherance of culture, and he deplored the obvious diplomatic hyprocrisy in international relations and the influence ex erted by money considerations.
Reviewing Spain historically, Dr. Lojendio
emphasized the purposes and motives of that country’s empire building as being religious in character and on a spiritual basis.
Giving his opinion that the present number of people favoring republican government are in the minority, Dr. Lojendio, however, did not mention whether or not the Franco government has taken measures to keep the republicans in their minority conditions, as has accurred in other fascist nations.
Asked about freedom of speech in Spain, Dr. Lojendio answered that there were no constitutional guarantees of freedom, but that a high degree of academic freedom existed in schools and universities.
Although he did not dwell on the causes which brought it about or the forces which supported the present regime when it was seeking power by force, Dr. Lojendio did deplore the civil war and the wounds it caused which are not yet healed.
Discussing Spain’s neutrality, the professor mentioned the many pressures which have been brought to bear on Spain to relinquish its neutral status. This pressure, it was implied, was forthcoming from Germany and Italy.
