cent of our total enrollment in fitness suffered likewise.
Now these figures show something. They show that somebody is doing a lot of work out in the SC physical education department—in addition to the compulsory “selectees.” Much credit is due to Dr. William R. La Porte professor of physical education, and the staff of that department, in taking care of the boys.'
The program this year has been reduced to include only four divisions: swimming, agility, track and field, and self-defense. Students are permitted eight absences for the semester which is 10 per cent of the total number of class sessions.
Each of the divisions offers its own particular set of hazards, but a survey of the health bureau indicates that fractures and sprains are the favored injuries among men students. The fellas like them so much, that students participated in extra hours to get them.
Reports show that most of the injuries occurred in the playing of football after regular class hours.

Apolliad sets closing date for entries
To all you poets aspiring For recognition true,
Begin right now perspiring,
For Apolliad deadline’s due.
In less than a week all contributions in the 19th annual Apolliad will be in the hands of the faculty committee who will judge students’ works for the program to be given in the spring.
Next Wednesday is the deadline set for all contributions, which may be short-short stories, plays, essays, poems, musical compositions, or any other literary endeavor.
Manuscripts should be submitted on 8% by 11-inch paper, typed, and contained in an envelope on which has been written the name of the contributor. Entries should be turned in to the School of Speech office, 126 Old College.
The Apolliad is strictly a University of Southern California program, having started 19 years ago. Numerous students who have gained recognition in the program have continued their literary or musical composition for money and for their own enjoyment.
“The Apolliad means much to those students who submit winning contributions,” Mrs. Hanna Tacie Rew, chairman of the committee, stated. “After their college career, the record of the Apolliad success will carry much weight when told to men and women in literary circles.”
Yellow alert flashed in L A.
BY UNITED PRESS The Los Angeles area was placed on a yellow alert at 9:08 p.m. last night, officials of the southern sector, western defense command, announced.
The alert ended at 9:30 p.m. when the unidentified target proved to be friendly, officials said.
Confusion rivaling that of the national capitol took place last Monday at UCLA when the war department called 232 men of the Westwood campus’ 525 man-ERC, according to a Daily Bruin spokesman.
The men did not receive letters from the war department itself, but were called through
the office of the dean of undergraduates. No special order was followed in calling the men to active duty. Men from the freshmen, sophomore, junior, senior, and February graduating classes were included in the call. All were to report for active duty March 1.
In one instance a marine corps reservist and a premedical student, both supposedly deferred for a longer period, were called to duty.
Notifying the UCLA reservists personally is the job of Earl J. Miller, dean of undergraduates, who must also arrange for the transportation of the men to the Fort MacArthur induction center. This task would ordinarily be undertaken by the draft board or the army itself.
One man in the Bruin ERC was called early last fall without warning and for no apparent reason, the Daily Bruin spokesman said.
Loyola university and Los Angeles City college reported their reservists had yet to receive the war department notification to report for active duty. Both campuses, however, said that their air corps reservists had been, called up at the same time many men at SC received their notice.

meat sales halte for 60 days

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—(U.P.)—The office of price administration tonight suspended — effective at midnight — sales of canned meats and canned fish and shellfish until the start of meat rationing some 60 days hence.
The order is intended to check heavy consumer “hoarder” buying that has threatened to re- |--*

duce supplies of these items to dangerously low levels, OPA said. It was requested by food administrator Claude R. Wickard and comes six days in advance of nationwide registration for rationing of nearly all canned foods.
The action removed still another foundation stone from the steadily narrowing base of the nation’s civilian economy. Already rationed or soon to be are such staples as sugar, coffee, meat, most canned, frozen or bottled fruits and vegetables, and there is strong likelihood that butter and cheese soon may be added to the list.
“Unless these sales are halted,” a spefcesman said, “there is a real danger that we will have little or no canned fish or canned meat later in the year.”
Principal fish items affected are canned salmon, sardines, tuna and tuna-like fishes, and mackerel. Officials said that they make up more than 90 per cent of the annual canned fish pack. The remainder (Continued on Page Four)
Campus critics to judge new film production
“Hangmen Also Die,” one of Hollywood’s latest film productions, which is still in rough form, will be shown to a representative audience of Trojan students and faculty members Tuesday evening, Feb. 23 in Hancock auditorium.
The producers of the film, United Artists, are staging the pre-release showing before the film is completely finished in order to get the reactions and criticisms of a specially selected audience. The showing at SC takes the place of the customary “sneak preview.”
Approximately 450 people "will view the film, and, following the showing, will make criticisms on forms which will be distributed for that purpose. If criticism is too adverse on some part of the picture the producers may either ‘cut” or change that part.
Trojans who are interested in attending thc pre-release showing may apply for an invitation to the cinema office any afternoon this week. Invitations are free, but admittance to the performance is by invitation only.

Works of Confucius exhibited in Hoose
Works of Confucius, who enlightened Chinese culture 2400 years ago, are applicable to the present situation, according to Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling, director of the School of Philosophy, who announced today that the Chinese philosophers works are being exhibited at the Hoose Library of Philosophy.
“The higher type of man is firm but not quarrelsome; sociable but not clannish,” is one of the quotations which might well be a slogan of today, Dr. Flewelling stated.
Confucius was a student and teacher, gathering great bands of j disciples around him. In 501, at the age of 50, he made his entry
on the political stage by accepting the governship of a small town in Lu, the state in whiclf he lived.
“Thus,” said Dr. Flewelling, “his teachings are well-rounded and well worth the attention of the present-day student.”
The collection of material on Confucius is being shown in connection with the class on “Problems of Human Values.”
War board
