Earl Warren Claims Victory
Searles Shows Today s Trends
Democracy Traced as Seat of Power
Striking a timely note on election day, Dr. Herbert L. Searles warned yesterday .in the third lecture of the 1942 philosophy forum series that we do not always exercise our voting power with a sense of high responsibility.
Speaking on the topic “The Seat of Authority in a Democracy,” Dr. Searles stated that democratic and republican forms of government .today are being challenged not only on the battlefields but in the thoughts of men.
"Modern wars are fought with ideas as well as machines,” he stated.
SOVEREIGNTY TRACED
Tracing the development of the theory of sovereignty, in connection with the development of sovereign states, Dr. Searles spoke of 11th and 12th century France, the* English philosophers Hobbes and Locke, Rousseau, our own Declaration of Independence and Constitution, the Jacksonian era, the Gettysburg address, and Woodrow Wilson.
He analyzed the various concepts of sovereignty and discussed their importance and value in ,the present world order.
The lecturer pointed 01ft how the influence of the United States and Woodrow Wilson, who had worked for the principle of self-determination of small nations, was reflected in the constitutions of Finland,

Weimar constitution which reads:
"The Reich is a republic. All political authority is derived from the people.” ,
“It is my view,” stated Dr. Searles, “that popular sovereignty is likely to yield most readily to the requirements of a peaceful world.” Dr. Searles defined democracy as that form of government which had adheared to the principle of the value of human persons, of the greatest amount of individual liberty consistent with the welfare of others, politically organized so that the majority of the members of the community through their elected representatives delegate the responsibility and power to determine and execute public policies.
Photo Dates Must be Kept
Sorority and fraternity members are reminded to keep their appointments with the university photographers so that their organizations will be well represented in the El Rodeo. Editors of the publication want students to make their appointments as soon as possible.
The following people are asked to appear for their pictures today: Lavell, Beaudine, Wilcox, MacPher-son, Thomson, Bohri, Gardner, Flammer, Feldman. Long, McCon-ville, Thomas. Newton, Fisk, Sexton, Rebstock, Calles, Foster. Eichenhof-fer. Marshall, Smith, Ellico, Miller, Grover, Grainger.

Returns from 2793 precincts gave:
Lieutenant governor — Patterso Dem., 152,161; House, Repn., 149.133.
Attorney general—Kenny, Dem., 125,261; Ware, Repn., 100,098.

dates for the post of frosh president.
Phil Levine, elections commissioner, announced that members of the class of ’46 who still wish to enter the competition for the freshman presidency must sign up in the ASSC office by 3 p.m. today.
Junior college students may not run for president.
One of the latest candidates to announce his intention of running for the office is Mel Morrison, Delta Sigma Phi, a graduate of Beverly Hills high, who is majoring in chemical engineering.
MORRISON ASPIRES
A member of the NROTC, Morrison is acting president of the Delta Sigma Phi pledge class.
Morrison’s name was preceded on the list by that of Bob Moodey, Phi Sigma Kappa, who entered SC from San Bernardino High schoor where he was in charge of student body assemblies. He is enrolled in LAS.
Gerald Jurgens, Theta Xi, who comes from Dorsey high arid is an engineering major, was one of the first to sign up.
DUTIES DESCRIBED
Other candidates, who did not indicate the high school from which they graduated, are Leland H. Scott, Aeneas hall, and Ray Carpenter, a member of Phi Sigma Kappa and a commerce major.
The chief duties of the freshman president are to select a frosh council and preside as its chairman, to organize the annual fresh-man-sophomore brawl, and to arrange an exchange meeting with the UCLA freshman council.
Dewey Elected
Thomas E. Dewey, the gang buster, was elected governor of New York by a fat margin, the first republican to win that office since Nathan L. Miller defeated Alfred E. Smith in 1920. This republican victory was foreshadowed by a bitter battle within the democratic party in which President Roosevelt futilely attempted to prevent the gubernatorial nomination of James J. Bennett Jr., the defeated candidate.
Norris Appears Out
It appears that the veteran independent Sen. George W. Norris has been defeated in Nebraska by Kenneth S. Wherry, republican. Foster May, the democratic candidate in a three-man race, conceded Wherry’s election shortly before 1 midnight.
Fish Win Conceded
Election of Rep. Hamilton Fish, r„ n. Y., one of the most outspoken non-interventionists, was by his democratic opponent, Ferdinand A. Hoyt. Fish’s plurality was 4219.

Authorities Explain Nation's Rationing
War rationing in its latest aspects will be the topic for discussion today when Dr. Robert B. Pettengill and Mrs. Gertrude P. Millikan, consumer education leader, lead an informal panel at the YWCA house at 2:15 p.m. on the subject “Let’s Face the Truth and Its Consequences.”
The third in a series sponsored j	—-
by the public affairs committee of the YWCA, the panel is open to all university students, both men and women, and will afford an oppor- j
tunity to discuss pertinent questions about rationing with authorities in the field.
Among questions included under the topic are the following:
‘ What goods will be rationed?”; | “What goods will we be unable to get?”; “How will labor conscription affect women?”; and “What percentage of the average salary will go for taxes in order to win the war?”
INFORMATION GIVEN
Mrs. Millikan, a member of the YWCA advisory board and a consumer education leader for California woman’s clubs, will present up-to-the-minute information about the rationing of specific items.
Explaining some of the effects on civilians of production curtailment, she said yesterday that noodles, lace, silverware, china, and many other articles not often considered in discussions of rationing will not be available after present supplies are exhausted.
Electrical appliances, radios, all sheets and linens, and shoes are other things that will be difficult or impossible to obtain after Christmas, she added.
Lynn Ford will represent the YWCA cabinet as student leader for today's discussion. After introductory remarks by the speakers, students attending will hav'a an opportunity to ask questions and to contribute to the discussion, according to Emily Lehan, chairman of the public affairs committee.
ACTIVITY HOURS GIVEN
Activity hours will be given to YW CA members participating in the discussion.
Other topics will be discussed in the panel seriw on subjects that concern university students today include:
“Can We Develop Tools for Resisting Propaganda — both Foreign and Domestic?” and “What Jobs Today;. Are There Jobs That Are Useful to the World in Which We Live and Satisfying to Us Personally?”
“No priority on rhythm and harmony” will be the dominant note in this year’s Songfest as 15 women’s organizations come together this afternoon in Bovard auditorium to sing sorority and fraternity songs.
Community singing, well-known judges, and an intermission soloist will be the highlights of the annual AWS event today at 3:30.
Women of 28th street and Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall will wear simple black date dresses, minus the flowers usually sent by the fraternity whose song they sing. There will be no individual vocalizing this year in Songfest, except during intermission.
Army, navy, marine, and school songs will be sung by the audience at the opening of the program to give added spirit to Songfest. Russ Lindersmith, yell king, will lead the audience in the community sing.
Mrs. Rufus B. von KleinSmid will award trophies to first, second, and third place winners. Due to the shortage of metals, the gold cups will rotate from now on.
The name of the judges, who are well known in musical circles, are being kept secret until after the trophies have been awarded. Cups will be presented to three of the 15 groups of songbirds. Rhythm, tonal qualities, harmony, and
general musical appeal will be the basis on which the singing will be judged.
JOYCE HILL ENTERTAINS

Olewine Wins Yell Position
From tennis star to swing band leader to assistant yell king on one easy lesson.
That’s the success story of Ted Olewine, SC’s famous, tennis-playing jitterbug, who yesterday was officially named assistant cheer leader, taking the place of Draftee John Cooper, by Bob McKay, ASSC president, after the student senate had given its approval.
A senior, Trojan Knight, and member of Kappa Sigma fraternity, Olewine is one of the top-ranking net stars of the country, placing second only to Ted Schoeder in a recent national amateur tournament.
TENNIS EXPERT
Olewine has, however, on occasion defeated Schroeder, and many experts consider thim just as good as the national champion.
The new yell leader, who will lead Trojan cheers in Saturday’s game with California, recently brought his group of swing musicians to a football rally in Bovard and also played at the Sigma Nu Charcoal dance. He is a swing drummer.
DRAFT CALLS
The fact that Cooper had to report for induction sooner than had been expected caused the senate to make the appointment yesterday in order that Olewine could take over his new duties as assistant to Head Cheer Leader Russ Lindersmith this weekend.
Don Frew is the other assistant yell leader.
McKay also announced that Jack Williams, student chairman js calling a meeting of the newly formed war board tomorrow in the student

Rallying sophompre students, Don Shaw, class president, has called a meeting of the sophomore council production, at 2.15 today in 418 Student Union. Nov. 13.
In order to defy the “sophomore slump,” Shaw has made extensive plans for council activities. Officers will be elected at this first meeting.
Trojans who purchase tickets to “Qeorge Washington Slept Here” during the sale which begins today will be aiding in the war effort, remarked Joan Miles, director of the which opens in Bovard auditorium Friday,
Earlier we asked, “Are you a Steinbeck?” We can as well ask, “Are you an O'Neil?” ‘ Or a Dorothy Thompson?”
Whoever you are, whatever your talent is. your contribution will stand as fair a chance as anyone else's and will be judged solely on merit not on character of contribution. We can only repeat what the Collier’s editor answered when asked what type of material his magazine preferred: “We have no preference.”
If you hit on a topic you think is entirely new or introduce a style you think is exclusively your own it is your privilege. That is what is meant by the name “creative page."
Secrets of Wampus Gestapo' Bared
“Who found out about that?” you will ask. “I thought no one knew.” Here is your answer. The Wampus has a Gestapo. “Yes, it’s true,” admitted the staff when cornered yesterday.
So there you have the secret of the ‘ Stabbed in the Back” column which appears in the Wampus this Friday. 'Every house on the campus has its agents who uncover the dirt from their fraternity brothers and sisters, so don’t think that you have escaped their grasp for that deed which you have committed/’
they said. Your evil social deeds from 28th street to Palo Alto have been jotted down and are now ready to release to the campus.
Then there is the “Moan of the Month” column, too. It seems that the staff was divided when it came to the point of who had uncovered the most caustic gossip. The only solution was to write two separate columns. Thus — “Moan of the Month.” It makes no difference in which column your name appears, you will be sorry.
Who was in 555 Fairmont, and
why? Who tried so hard to get a Kappa Sig pin that she even asked the orchestra to announce her engagement, but to no avail? Who stole a trayful of glasses and food from Carl’s lasttweek? Who is being groomed for student body prexy by the machine? The answers to these and many other problems will be discussed in the second issue of Wampus which hits the campus Friday at Chapel period.
Don’t think that the Wampus is all gossip, for there are seven full
pages of presents pictures. Here is your chance to check the new pledges at your leisure, for every one is pictured on these pages. “Take a look at the freshman queens, for there are plenty of them,” the staff assures.
Now you have the Wampus high spots. There are plenty of jokes and cartoons, too. Don’t forget— Wampus Friday!
All girls interested in selling Wampus report to Durward Howes at 230 Student Union, Friday, 9:45 a.m.
Tickets to the comedy may be purchased for 50 cents worth of defense stamps at the Victory hut or from members of the cast, she said.
With the opening night less than two weeks away members of Drama Workshop who are producing the comedy busied themselves after rehearsal yesterday by painting posters which will be tacked up on bulletin boards on the campus this week.
“All expenses in producing ‘George Washington Slept Here’ will be paid by the Drama Workshop,” said Bebe Blake, who is in charge of publicity.	»
Lights in Touchstone theater were turned down this week as members of the cast rehearsed without scripts. Special props to stimulate wind, rain, and attacks by Japanese beetles have not been decided definitely.
“We’re not overlooking anything,”
said Miss Miles. “We’ll get wind even if we have to use the airplane motor lying in back of the stage.”
Plans for a publicity campaign featuring stunts by members of the workshop, the appearance of an army band, and a special assembly giving previews of the play are being worked out by Miss Blake.
“George Washington Slept Here,” written by Kaufman and Hart, achieved success on the Broadway stage. It concerns the adventures of a city family who attempts to take up farming in Pennsylvania and move into a country house where George Washington was supposed to have slept one night.
Humorously facing crisis after crisis from rain onslaughts to beetle invasions, the family’s grief is made complete when they discover that instead of Washington it was Benedict Arnold who had stayed at th# house.
