Soph coke dig hosts students
Host and hostess to the entire student body, the sophomore class sponsored Friday afternoon’s successful all-U coke party in the student lounge from 3 to 5 p.m. ..
First event to be sponsored by a class and the second afternoon dig of this term, the combination dance-talent show proved to be a popular affair. Just how popular was evidenced by the deserted appearance of usual campus hangouts.
With music by recording and refreshments by Coca-Cola, informality was the key-note of the dig. Trainees and co-eds danced to the music of Glenn Miller or got better acquainted during “the pause that refreshes.”
Master-of-ceremonies of the dance, Jack Spencer, V-12, made certain that all present really got to know the true personalities of the entertainers. Members of the sophomore class made up the entertainment list and included Don Eugster. Lois Oshier, and Harry “Man Who Comes Around” Christenson.

Eaker wins service medal
WASHINGTON, May 28. (UJ!)— Lt. Gen. Ira C. Eaker, who probably contributed more than any other one person to the development of strategic daylight bombing technique. has been awarded the Distinguished Service Medal in recogni -tion of his services, the War Department announced tonight.
The award was specifically for the interval from December, 1942, to January 7, 1944, when he was com-monder of the U.S. Army Air forces
General Eaker attended the SC School of Journalism when he was a captain.
in the United Kingdom and the Eighth Air Force, the period tfhen Nazi Europe began to feel the sting of American air might.
“Largely by his individual efforts and in a minimum of time he overcame shortages then existing with respect to competent and tieined personnel and combat equipment of all types,” Eaker’s citation said
Clothing drive ends; Troy goes over goal
Ending the two-week campus clothing drive for Russians, final large donations of clothing put the campaign over the top, according to Bette Hoskins, chairman.
Held in conjunction with the national drive, the object was to gather discarded or out-of-style garments to alleviate the desperate need of the Russian
people for any type of wearable clothing. Because of war conditions in Russia factories which formerly manufactured civilian clothing have shut down.
Trucks arrived yesterday at the two depots, the Y house and the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, to pick up the garments. They were then taken to central downtown depots where all clothing turned in was checked to see that it was perfectly clean and suitable for shipment over-sear*.
Upon passing the checkers, tha clothing will be bundled and packaged in bales, sent .to eastern ports, and shipped immediately across.
“The Soviet government has dispatched its own ships to carry this clothing to Russia as quickly as possible, which is another indication of the definite need of the Russians,” Miss Hoskins stated. Sponsored nationally by the Rus-rian war relief council, the drive on campus was under the auspices of the War Board. Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, a member of the Los Angeles Russian war relief council, was also backing the campaign and had pledged the support of the university to the drive.
Much of the credit for the success of the drive should go to the women representatives from each sorority and campus organization Miss Hoskins said.

Lei-laden trainees led the way to the Hawaiian Hut, a tropical paradise which had sprung up in place of Lagunita or the Sigma Chi house.
