1600 servicemen here at :re is a good chance that of them may some day sail very cruiser, built, named maintained by the people of county.

The choice is yours
roy network eeds plots
Suggestions for plots to be sd in the university radio pro-im which is endeavoring to rtray college life in the war ef-ort are being urged by Lee Mil-r, president of the university ductions. Any ideas, whether ining to the men on active y with the reserve programs civilians in war activities, ould be given to Millar at ll*abeth von KleinS^Aid hall.
The Allies are on the march. Thousands of American boys are now storming the Axis garrison of Sicily. Thousands of tons of bombs are being unloaded nightly on Germany. Many tons of explosives are being loosed on Japanese-held
territory daily.
The papers are full of news of victory. Sicily is over one-half conquered. Nipponese ships are hitting the bottom with monotonous regularity. The gallant Russians are hurling the Nazi hordes back all along the eastern front. German-held Europe faces invasion at any moment.
Yet in spite of this joyous news from all fronts, the most crucial period of the war to date is here. Now is the time when wishful thinking, indulged in by so many Americans, must be stamped into the dirt. The success that we will have on the fighting fronts in the next few months will depend to a tremendous extent on the sacrifices civilians are willing to make at home.
And one of the most important factors in contributing to victory at home is the continuous purchase of war bonds. If we let down for a day, we are lost. The government is spending an average of $265,000,060 a day to assure the right kind of victory. Billions more must be spent in the future. The money, of course, must come from the pockets of the people—in taxes and through war bonds. The more war bonds we buy the less taxes we have to pay.
Citizens of southern California are being asked to give doubly this month to pay for the soon-to-be cruiser Los Angeles. And they have responded nobly. At the end of the first two weeks in July, sales totaled $18,675,000, almost half of the total cost of the sleek warship. Enthusiasm, which has been at a high pitch in Los Angeles, must not be allowed to die.
The Trojan feels that it is contributing to the winning of the war by devoting this issue to the cruiser Los Angeles. Local merchants were generous enough to take space to push this drive. The staff believes it will have succeeded only if every student makes some contribution toward building the cruiser Los Angeles.

Seminar to begin on campus Monday

Streetcar walkout upsets SC schedule
by Pat Ebey
Anybody got a horse and buggy? A bicycle? Roller skates?
If so, send them over to the SC campus. According to statements expressed by Trojans, this equipment was vitally needed to replace buses and street cars on strike this morning.	----
Hillel council holds open house
Betty Lou Mjellem—“I walk from 28th street, so I don’t care; but my roommate got up at 6 a.m. to check on street cars so she could get to work. When she found they weren’t running, she stayed in bed ’till 8 a.m., and phoned the boss to say she couldn’t make it. Obliging man that he was, he sent some one to drive her down to the office.” Kathleen Robinson grinned as she told of her father bringing her to Troy for a 7:40 class. “He
didn’t like getting up early to do it, either/’ she concluded.
Harry Lassen, marine trainee— “We march to lecture anyway, and besides, when you get up at 5:30, there’s no advantage to the tjuiet of streetcar-less streets. Very inconvenient, however, for anyone living off campus.”
“Then there was the anonymous figure who is still waiting for her boyfriend to arrive. He is just back from the South Pacific and was to come to Troy via the streetcar. Her only comment: “Next time he’ll try the plane.”
