Band to accept women in ranks
For the first time in the history of the university, the Trojan band will be open to women this semester.
Because of a shortage of men students, the band has suffered a tremendous personnel loss this past year; whereupon President von KleinSmid and Max van Lewen Swarth-out, dean of the School of Music,
have decided that the acceptance of women members is necessary to maintain full orchestration.
This new change will also give women in the School of Music an opportunity to gain experience in band work, which has not been offered to them in the past.
Band can be taken either for one-unit credit or as an extracurricular activity. There is one rehearsal a week, from 7 to 10 p.m. every Wednesday. Dr. Lucien Cailliet is the director.
All women who can perform capably on a band instrument are urged to take advantage of this new opportunity, and this includes those women, students who are not in the School of Music.
Dr. Cailliet also extends the wish that that all new men students who are interested ln the band come to the next scheduled meeting and sign up.
Old and new band members are reminded that there is an appearance at the Shrine auditorium, tomorrow evening, at the SC-Santa Ana Air Base basketball game. Practice will begin at 7 p.m. in the cinema building.

Allies batter Jap airdromes
•
GEN. MACARTHUR’S HEADQUARTERS, AUSTRALIA, Thursday, Feb. 4.—(IIP)—Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s warplanes, lending indirect support to growing air-naval operations in the Guadalcanal area, lashed at the Japanese over a 1600 mile front during ithe past 36 hours, battering five airdromes and two ships, one an unidentified warship, the allied command announced today.
The allied targets extended from the Aroe islands on the west to Buin in the northern Solomons on the east, and included a fifth successive attack before dawn yester-' day on the major Japanese “feeder” base of Rabaul, New Britain island, from which many Japanese offensive thrusts have been launched in tiRe past/

Naval cadets marching chorus volume doubles
“One, two, three, four. N—A— V—Y.”
Four hundred! mate voices will boom that marching rhythm on campus today as pre-flighters go to classes. Two hundred of them are new arrivals who did more than merely offset in niifnbers the departure of 50 advanced students to another flight training base.
The air fledglings are billeted in three campus locations: Owens hall has 75 students, Newkirk hall, 125; and Henderson hall, the former Parkshire Manor apartments, holds the rest of the group.
If this influx continues, campus alarmists point to the day when pre-flighters will outnumber that diminishing clan known as Trojans. But then there will be many ex-Trojans as pre-flighters, so it will all balance up in the end.
Half of the new arrivals are from Chicago and the rest are California bred.

SC news sheet hits war stride in concise form
Good things come in small
packages.
You are reading the new Daily Trojan—astep with the war times and having an eye to the future. Students and faculty members geared to a victory schedule will find this Daily Trojan in line with their changing patterns of life-succinct, clear, complete, and interesting.
In its tabloid form and typographical improvements the Daily Trojan is in awareness of progressive Journalism being evidenced throughout the country.
The changes you see were not haphazard innovations, but rather the result of considered thought by the staff. Perhaps you like It or perhaps you don’t, out here’s why the Daily Trojan is a tabloid:
1.	The new size is a, conscious attempt to meet the needs of our readers for a paper which can be read in one hand while carrying hooks in the other. It is not a standard tabloid size, which is only 5 columns, but rather is 6 columns wide in order to give * better presentation of the news. It is small and compact, not unwieldy and billowing like the former size.
2.	This tabloid is typographically cleaner, which means easier and faster reading. It has been proved that the use of small letters in place of capitals in headlines if more restful to tha eye and in-creases the rapidity of reading. Through the reduction in the num*» ber of lines in the headline appearing over each story, the reader can more readily grasp the nature of the article*
3.	The Daily Trojan has not cut its news coverage by adopting a smaller size. By using shorter, snappier stories we are able to offer our readers complete departments in society, sports, and features. Our United Press teletype machines will continue to give the latest in world affairs. When there is a glut of news we won’t leave it out for want of space; we’ll grow to t pages then.
4.	We know that the average newspaper reader doesn’t spend more than 15 minute* on a paper a day; that is why th> Daily Trojan will give the highlights of the news at a glance. On this page you will find a news summary of activity on all global warfronts. To the reader who wants just the gist of the news, we have the summary; but for others who seek details we have fuller stories.
Yes, the Daily Trojan is smaller
in size, but it’s larger in scope.
