Social School plan reviewed
Expressing a sharp four-pointed criticism of the social education theories expounded in Meiklejohn’s “Education Between Two Worlds,” Dr. Walter Muelder, professor of Christian theology and ethics, proposed contrasted means toward a “people’s world” in a lecture yesterday afternoon in Bowne hall, Mudd philosophy building.
“Meiklejohn,” Dr. Muelder said, giving a synthesis of views expressed in the educator’s book, “approves of the trend of the times away from the theological toward secular education.”
.Reasonableness, or intelligent tnenaimess, would replace religion in education, as Meiklejohn visualizes the world state.
Private educational institutions receive their death blow in Meiklejohn’s work, according to Dr. Muelder. Meiklejohn, a whole-hearted believer in state education for his world state, contends that private colleges and universities foster inequalities of opportunity that are incompatible with the theory of reasonableness.
•MeiKiejonn realizes that tne war has hit the private schools hard, and he feels that this is a desirable thing,” Dr. Muelder said. “According to Meiklejohn, the war will end when the world state is realized.” .
Dr. Muelder expressed Meikle-john’s belief that “every human being, young or old, should be taught to be a member of the world state.”
He then offered four criticisms of Meiklejohn’s educational theories.
1.	A greater emphasis on individual autonomy than that provided by Meiklejohn is needed. Man has ends more ultimate than the state.
2.	Meiklejohn’s liberalism fails to evade thf difficulties of collectivism. The individual couldn’t criticize a state that was the be-all and end-all.
3.	It is doubtful that the world state of Meiklejohn is a fitting basis for man’s equality. Only a religious philosophy can be the background for a people’s world. Meikle-john's world state would produce a handful of intellectual elite.
4.	Meiklejohn’s state is authoritarian.
Dr. Muelder was introduced by Dr. Floyd H. Ross of the School of Religion.
Lynn Cohne, producer and co-writer of ’Neath Tommy Trojan, the all-U musical show, has been named editor of this year’s Wampus, according to an announcement by Kennetji Stonier, publications director.
This appointment brings assurance that the Troyville humor magazine will publish during the year. There will be a total of nine issues from September to June.
"Wampus will start with 16 pages, but we are planning on increasing the size as the year goes on,” states Miss Cohne. “In these pages we will present the only photographic and printed record of this war year at Troy.”
Writers, artists, cartoonists, and students desiring activity or advertising experience are asked to try out for the staff. In order to give everyone a chance at the various positions, no further staff appointments will be made until November. Students interested in the work are asked to attend a meeting at 12:30 p.m. Thursday in the El Rodeo office, second floor Student Union.
Humor, original short stories, poems, student photographs, and a military column will be definite features of the Wampus, according to Miss Cohne. SC’s servicemen are to be the focal point for the magazine’s appeal.
Miss Cohne worked on the publication as a freshman and has since been active on the El Rodeo, last December’s all-U show, and the Trojan, of which she is military editor. She is also a member of Amazons and Alpha Epsilon Phi social sorority.
Navy to sleep 15 minutes more

Cailliet calls for band members as 85 sign up
With 85 members, 50 of whom are navy personnel, enrolled in the Trojan band ai the football season swiftly approaches the opening game with UCLA on Sept. 25, Dr. Lucien Cailliet, director of the university band, yesterday urged more students to join immediately.
“We have instruments and uniforms to equip a band of 125 and there is no reason why this goal can’t be attained,” said Dr. Cail-liett. “If 50 trainees can volunteer their time, there should be at least an equal number from the student body who could do likewise.”
Capt. Reed M. Fawell and Cmdr. Philip R. Baker are cooperating by permitting navy musicians to join in the band and to wear the band
uniform.
President Rufus B. von KleinSmid agreed to allow women to don skirts in the band. Helen Hall Moreland, dean of women, and Arnold Eddy, general manager of associated students, are planning uniforms for the women members.
The band rehearses for an hour and a half each week, Wednesday evening from 7 to 8:30, and interested students may report to the band rehearsal room tonight in the cinema building, 35th street and Hoover boulevard.
Dr. Cailliet ls making special musical arrangements for the games with St. Mary's navy pre-flight, Santa Ana army air base, and March field.

Jap war strategy plotted
QUEBEC, Aug. 24—(U.P.)— President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill closed their sixth war council today with a promise of vigorous “forward action’* against the Axis, particularly Japan, and an indirect proposal for an early tripartite meeting with Russia, presumably on a western front in Europe.
The two leaders, who will make internationally broadcast addresses this week, issued a joint statement, regarded as the “Declaration of

Ecuadorian talks on Latin America
/
Dr. Eduardo Orbe, famous Ecuadorian psychiatrist, who has recently joined the Spanish department, will give an address tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. in the lounge of the Student Union. His topic will deal with the latest developments in Latin America and its possibilities in the postwar world.
All Spanish students and persons interested in pan-American relations are invited. Refreshments and dancing will be offered after the lecture.
The riddle of whether the ancient Mayans of Central America are de scendants of the Lost Continent of Atlantis may soon be solved.
Returning this week from Palenque, 1000 miles southeast of Mexico city, Mrs. Karena Shields, instructor of archaeology, brought home to Los Angeles scientific data from which the origin of the Mayans may be determined.
Termed as a “long shot” by archaeologists, facts to prove that Atlantis ever existed are lacking, despite descriptions in Plato’s writings and conjectures by Montaigne, Buffon, and Voltaire as late as the 18th century.
Mrs. Shields, accompanied on her trip by Mrs. Eleanor Warren, photographer for university records, was born in Palenque. Her father owned a plantation -there, and most of the stories she heard in her childhood concerned the hidden tribes of light-skinned people of regal bearing who still worshiped with the ancient Mayan rituals among the ruins of former splendor.
From Palenque Mrs. Shields went on to Tensique by flivver plane and from there by burro and on foot to Yaxchilan (Place of Green Scattered Stones) and Piedras Negras (Black Stones).
An estimated 500 families comprised the secret tribe of the Mayans, according to Mrs. Shields. In searching for remains of the tribe, Mrs. Shields was aided by 20-year-old Ted Rateike, son of the manager of her 75,000-acre plantation. They had to wander from thatched hut to thatched hut. Non-Mayan natives were fearful of the area (Continued on Page Four)

ttUUtfttC, Aug. 24—(U.R) — Ihe tripartite meeting between Great Britain, the United States, and Russia, mentioned in the joint statement of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill, may be held before Churchill returns to England, it was believed tonight.
Observers saw in the statement an indication that such a meeting is a distinct possibility and recalled that only a few days ago an official organ in Moscow published the willingness of the Soviet government to enter into military conferences with Great Britain and the United States, to discuss the opening of a second front in Europe.
It is known that Churchill will be going to Washington where further talks with President Roosevelt will be resumed.

3.	Military action le proceeding at such a pace that even more frequent meetings than in the past must take place between the Anglo-American strategists.
4.	Soviet Russia will receive “full reports of the decisions so far as they affect the war with Germany and Italy.”
5.	Despite recent successes lh Africa, Italy, and the Far East, the war is still a life-and-death struggle in which the home front is a vital part of the battle.

War postcard requested
Students with recent postcards from American prisoners of war in the Philippines or other Asiatic detention centers are asked to bring the messages to the SC News Bureau, 210 Student Union.
Numerous calls are being received from relatives and friends over southern California to interpret the Japanese characteristics, in the belief that they bear some significant message. Dr. Theodore H.
