Just before his departure, the O. and M. gang threw a little party down, in the men’s grill, ate good food, and listened to several speeches. The smiles were a mere formality until the bunch presented Jim with a traveling bag and a gold identification tag.
And now SC has a new director of O. and M. Boss Kitch hales from a lot of places, and he has had the experience that qualifies
him for handling men. He was formerly building superintendent and chief engineer for several large concerns in the middle west, and for the past twelve years has been in the employ of corporations in Minneapolis and Los Angeles.
Kitch’s new job here entails a lot of supervision of campus facilities, props, and manpower. But the new director has pitched in with his characteristic vigor, and hoses are spouting. He said the other day, “when we get hard up for work,
and it’s not very often, we just put the boys to work stickin’ straws into brooms that are about worn out. Keeps them busy and might even be considered patriotic.”
Well, here’s to you, Boss Kitch. Trojans will cooperate with anybody who knows how to get work out of men, and from the way dump trucks are buzzing up and down the avenue there’s a lot of haulin’ goin’ on.

OPA Boosts Administrator Silke to Executive Assistant's Post
Harry Silke, former head of special foundations for SC, has been named executive assistant to Neil Petree, southern California administrator of the Office of Price Administration.
Promoted from the rank of chief inspector, Silke’s new duties will include overseeing of the consumer division, as well as supervision of the entire OPA public relations program under Petree’s guidance. The transfer of 50 inspectors to work directly-for Silke was designated by the OPA to insure more adequate compliance with the price and rationing regulations.
At one time an administrative assistant to Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, president, Silke is well-known on campus by both faculty and students for his public relations work for the university. He resigned his post here late last semester in order to accept the position of chief in-pector with the OPA.
Silke’s Job is to maintain a system of inspection whereby there is a general equalization and xnain-

W. Sutton, a hotel executive, volunteered his services as a teacher of Swahili.
Sutton not only speaks the language, but w^ile he worked on the island of Zanzibar off the east coast of Africa, he developed a dictionary of 600 words as a hobby. Sutton claims that Swahili is simple. While army officials are skeptical that it can be learned in 10 easy, one-hour lessons, there are probably some by now who can say “Nitika chakula maji,” Swahili for “Give me food and drink.”
The American council of learned societies has an appropriation of $100,000 and has offered subsidies and scholarships to universities to dart courses. The council is now filling a need and rendering valuable service to the war effort after having spent 15 years and $65,000 in a vain effort to interest Americans in oriental languages.
ASSIGNED* TO WORK
On its own initiative, the university of Southern California added a number of new language courses to its curriculum this year. Among these are Chinese, Japanese, Korean, military German, Russian, and Portuguese. These courses will be continued in the fall with the addition of technical French, dealing with the vocabulary used in government reports and in diplo-d military documents, and Portuguese, which will g in writing business

Students, faculty and friends of SC have be'.n invited to attend the sessions of the workshop held yesterday and today.

Dig to Draw Students From Dog-Eared Tomes
First dig of the Summer Session will once more draw the groggy student from his dog-eared book to the gym for an evening of dancing to the music of Art Whiting and his orchestra from 7 to 9:30 p.m. on Monday. Admission will be 25 cents.
The affair will be the first of a series of three Monday night digs planned by the Summer Session recreation committee under the direction of Connie Kivari, student chairman, and Harry Anderson, faculty chairman. These dances will continue bi-weekly throughout the six-weeks session and will also be planned for the five-weeks session.
• “If that tropical worsted hasn’t been hocked to get an automobile stamp, you • can still wear it to this affair which will follow the theme of being ‘pretty informal’, Miss Kivari declared in a special interview with the Summer Trojan. She further emphasized that the dig will not require a date and that stags, men and women, would be welcome.
The first dance of the year was held one week ago and honored SC students and alumni who are now serving in the armed forces of the United States. One hundred of these appeared at the affair which was in the Foyer of Town and Gown.
Throughout the academic year informal dances are planned by the recreational committee to
permit students to become better acquainted.
Chaperones for the dig are as yet unannounced, according to Miss Kivari.
Jiu-Jitsu Course to Begin Monday
A new special training course to teach men the art of hand-to-hand fighting and jiu-jitsu as preparation for combat duty in the armed forces was announced yesterday by Prof. William LaPorte, director of the physical education department.
Many requests for such a course to be included under the war conditioning program prompted the inclusion of the new class in the Summer Session.
Administrators Club to Convene Monday
The second meeting of the School Administrators club will be held at noon Monday in the Student Union grill and will present Dr. Pickens Harris who will speak on the topic “What About the School Superintendent’s Philosophy?”
Sponsored by Drs. O. R. Hull and I. R. Melbo, the organization originated spontaneously on the campus during the Summer Session and resembles a seminar in its meetings.
Bob Vallier
HEADS and TALES
The streets of our thriving city as a companion on life s troubled
seas. His name is Stirling Hayden, and he hails from Gloucester. A lot of movie-fan hearts are broken today, believe me!
Yet, why do we grieve? Has not history taught us one simple rule: always there will be someone new. Yes, lads, there will be others, in fact there are others. Let’s take a look at a little lass that just got her contract OK’d for 20th Century. She has sung with many of the top bands. She can write (had her own radio show in the East). And rumor has it that she can really act. She has a light complexion and a very shapely five-feet-two-and-a-half inches.
TAKE A TRIP But a note to the professors and Bob Hope: The young lady is only sweet 17- He-men Trojans, in case you want to add her to your mailing list, her name is June Haver.
You may remember the eaf-t coast scare when eight Nazi saboteurs (Continued on Page Four)
should be abundant with throngs of happier and wealthier soldiers and sailors—privates and apprentice seamen respectively. The reason for their happiness can be summed up in an approximate figure of $1,000,000,000 added pay.
One payday ago these lowest of the lowly in our armed forces received just $30 per month. Now their pay checks have swelled to 50 greenbacks. Along with this $20 addition comes the discontinuance of the four-month apprentice period at $21 ($0.60 less than German
regulars).
It looks like Mr. Doughboy goes highbrow. He outranks such allied nations as Canada, Britain, ana Russia. The only hurdle left is the record held by the Australian Aussies at $62.10.
WHAT A CONTRAST
It must be very uncomforting for the little Japs to watch a straight $50-a-month line come charging at them as they dig deeply and bring up a sickly 37c for their month’s treachery.
With a petulant sigh, male students, their professors, and Bob Hope bid farewell to the “most beautiful blond in the world,” Madeline Carroll. Madeline, rumored to have chosen a French nobleman as her second mate, has chosen a British sailor (perhaps a first-mate)
became a corporal in the AEF. After his return to this country he became interested in the organization of the League of Nations and was a lecturer and writer on international affairs. In 1935 he became national director of the League of Nations association, which post he holds today.
ACTIVITIES DISCUSSED
He has been a national figure for a number of years being instrumental in the organization of sevre-al national committees. He is director of the commission to study the organization of peace which was organized in the fall of 1939 to study the fundamental bases of a lasting peace and the role of the United States in organizing and maintaining that peace. Before the outbreak of war, he made almost yearly trips to Europe, and during the fall of 1941 visited London for three weeks where he had conferences with Government officials, leaders of public opinion and members of the governments in exile. GAINS REPUTATION Colonel Tchou (pronounced chew) has scored a sensational success with his lecture in this country. He has a keen sense of humor and is an impressive delivery. A direct descendant of the Chinese philosopher and Confucian scholar, Chu Wsir Song dynasty of the 12th century Colonel Tchou was a master of Chinese classics at the age of 12. Later he made a special study of the philosophy of his famed ancestor.
He- spent nine years in Europe as a student, receiving degrees in mechanical, civil, and naval engineering at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. He has held a prominent position in the national government of China for a number of years.
Under the personal direction of Generalissimo and Madame Chiang Kai-shek, he organized and established the officer’s moral endeavor association, which was the forerunner of the New Life movement. Ha is the author of many publications dealing with housing, social and (Continued on Page Four)
Loser Seeks Thesis
Material for a thesis was lost on a street car bench at 37th street and McClintock at about 3 p.m. on June 29 by Miss Virginia Peterson, 678 South Ardmore. A reward is offered to the finder if he leaves it at the information office or calls EX. 3206.
Radio Workshop Organi^ed^Here'
Aspiring radio writers, acton, actresses, announcers and producers will be afforded an opportunity to express their talents in an experimental radio workshop to be formed here today.
Olinton Jones, CBS writer-pro-ducer and head of the KNX new* bureau, will supervise this extracurricular activity open to all students. In addition to his duties at KNX, Jones is also instructor of radio writing and production at SC.
Auditions and Interviews for positions in the new radio group
will be held this afternoon after
3:45 In the sound recording room
of the Cinema Workshop building.
Fisher Gallery Exhibits Student Creative Work
Summer School students are urged to visit the Fisher Art gallery to see the display of work which has been done by the students of th* College of Architecture and Fine Arts, which will go off display Tuesday.
Among the works are two sculpture pieces, a torso cl a girl and a Negro head, executed by students of sculptor Professor Merril Gage.

Then, however, George OPA Boosts Administrator Silke to Executive Assistant's Post Harry Silke, former head of special foundations for SC, has been named executive assistant to Neil Petree, southern California administrator of the Office of Price Administration. Promoted from the rank of chief inspector, Silke’s new duties will include overseeing of the consumer division, as well as supervision of the entire OPA public relations program under Petree’s guidance. The transfer of 50 inspectors to work directly-for Silke was designated by the OPA to insure more adequate compliance with the price and rationing regulations. At one time an administrative assistant to Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, president, Silke is well-known on campus by both faculty and students for his public relations work for the university. He resigned his post here late last semester in order to accept the position of chief in-pector with the OPA. Silke’s Job is to maintain a system of inspection whereby there is a general equalization and xnain- Un&noe of the price ceilings. ELEVATED —Dr. He W. Sutton, a hotel executive, volunteered his services as a teacher of Swahili. Sutton not only speaks the language, but w^ile he worked on the island of Zanzibar off the east coast of Africa, he developed a dictionary of 600 words as a hobby. Sutton claims that Swahili is simple. While army officials are skeptical that it can be learned in 10 easy, one-hour lessons, there are probably some by now who can say “Nitika chakula maji,” Swahili for “Give me food and drink.” The American council of learned societies has an appropriation of $100,000 and has offered subsidies and scholarships to universities to dart courses. The council is now filling a need and rendering valuable service to the war effort after having spent 15 years and $65,000 in a vain effort to interest Americans in oriental languages. ASSIGNED* TO WORK On its own initiative, the university of Southern California added a number of new language courses to its curriculum this year. Among these are Chinese, Japanese, Korean, military German, Russian, and Portuguese. These courses will be continued in the fall with the addition of technical French, dealing with the vocabulary used in government reports and in diplo-d military documents, and Portuguese, which will g in writing business Troy Workshop Forum Meets A two-day Workshop is in progress today on the SC campus, meeting in Harris hall, so that dele pates may meet to. discuss the combat method of wartime and to devise plans for rebuilding, after the war, the lives of men who are now fighting for us.

Dig to Draw Students From Dog-Eared Tomes First dig of the Summer Session will once more draw the groggy student from his dog-eared book to the gym for an evening of dancing to the music of Art Whiting and his orchestra from 7 to 9:30 p.m. on Monday. Admission will be 25 cents. The affair will be the first of a series of three Monday night digs planned by the Summer Session recreation committee under the direction of Connie Kivari, student chairman, and Harry Anderson, faculty chairman. These dances will continue bi-weekly throughout the six-weeks session and will also be planned for the five-weeks session. • “If that tropical worsted hasn’t been hocked to get an automobile stamp, you • can still wear it to this affair which will follow the theme of being ‘pretty informal’, Miss Kivari declared in a special interview with the Summer Trojan. She further emphasized that the dig will not require a date and that stags, men and women, would be welcome. The first dance of the year was held one week ago and honored SC students and alumni who are now serving in the armed forces of the United States. One hundred of these appeared at the affair which was in the Foyer of Town and Gown. Throughout the academic year informal dances are planned by the recreational committee to permit students to become better acquainted. Chaperones for the dig are as yet unannounced, according to Miss Kivari. Jiu-Jitsu Course to Begin Monday A new special training course to teach men the art of hand-to-hand fighting and jiu-jitsu as preparation for combat duty in the armed forces was announced yesterday by Prof. William LaPorte, director of the physical education department. Many requests for such a course to be included under the war conditioning program prompted the inclusion of the new class in the Summer Session. Administrators Club to Convene Monday The second meeting of the School Administrators club will be held at noon Monday in the Student Union grill and will present Dr. Pickens Harris who will speak on the topic “What About the School Superintendent’s Philosophy?” Sponsored by Drs. O. R. Hull and I. R. Melbo, the organization originated spontaneously on the campus during the Summer Session and resembles a seminar in its meetings. Bob Vallier HEADS and TALES The streets of our thriving city as a companion on life s troubled seas. His name is Stirling Hayden, and he hails from Gloucester. A lot of movie-fan hearts are broken today, believe me! Yet, why do we grieve? Has not history taught us one simple rule: always there will be someone new. Yes, lads, there will be others, in fact there are others. Let’s take a look at a little lass that just got her contract OK’d for 20th Century. She has sung with many of the top bands. She can write (had her own radio show in the East). And rumor has it that she can really act. She has a light complexion and a very shapely five-feet-two-and-a-half inches. TAKE A TRIP But a note to the professors and Bob Hope: The young lady is only sweet 17- He-men Trojans, in case you want to add her to your mailing list, her name is June Haver. You may remember the eaf-t coast scare when eight Nazi saboteurs (Continued on Page Four) should be abundant with throngs of happier and wealthier soldiers and sailors—privates and apprentice seamen respectively. The reason for their happiness can be summed up in an approximate figure of $1,000,000,000 added pay. One payday ago these lowest of the lowly in our armed forces received just $30 per month. Now their pay checks have swelled to 50 greenbacks. Along with this $20 addition comes the discontinuance of the four-month apprentice period at $21 ($0.60 less than German regulars). It looks like Mr. Doughboy goes highbrow. He outranks such allied nations as Canada, Britain, ana Russia. The only hurdle left is the record held by the Australian Aussies at $62.10. WHAT A CONTRAST It must be very uncomforting for the little Japs to watch a straight $50-a-month line come charging at them as they dig deeply and bring up a sickly 37c for their month’s treachery. With a petulant sigh, male students, their professors, and Bob Hope bid farewell to the “most beautiful blond in the world,” Madeline Carroll. Madeline, rumored to have chosen a French nobleman as her second mate, has chosen a British sailor (perhaps a first-mate) became a corporal in the AEF. After his return to this country he became interested in the organization of the League of Nations and was a lecturer and writer on international affairs. In 1935 he became national director of the League of Nations association, which post he holds today. ACTIVITIES DISCUSSED He has been a national figure for a number of years being instrumental in the organization of sevre-al national committees. He is director of the commission to study the organization of peace which was organized in the fall of 1939 to study the fundamental bases of a lasting peace and the role of the United States in organizing and maintaining that peace. Before the outbreak of war, he made almost yearly trips to Europe, and during the fall of 1941 visited London for three weeks where he had conferences with Government officials, leaders of public opinion and members of the governments in exile. GAINS REPUTATION Colonel Tchou (pronounced chew) has scored a sensational success with his lecture in this country. He has a keen sense of humor and is an impressive delivery. A direct descendant of the Chinese philosopher and Confucian scholar, Chu Wsir Song dynasty of the 12th century Colonel Tchou was a master of Chinese classics at the age of 12. Later he made a special study of the philosophy of his famed ancestor. He- spent nine years in Europe as a student, receiving degrees in mechanical, civil, and naval engineering at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. He has held a prominent position in the national government of China for a number of years. Under the personal direction of Generalissimo and Madame Chiang Kai-shek, he organized and established the officer’s moral endeavor association, which was the forerunner of the New Life movement. Ha is the author of many publications dealing with housing, social and (Continued on Page Four) Loser Seeks Thesis Material for a thesis was lost on a street car bench at 37th street and McClintock at about 3 p.m. on June 29 by Miss Virginia Peterson, 678 South Ardmore. A reward is offered to the finder if he leaves it at the information office or calls EX. 3206. Radio Workshop Organi^ed^Here' Aspiring radio writers, acton, actresses, announcers and producers will be afforded an opportunity to express their talents in an experimental radio workshop to be formed here today. Olinton Jones, CBS writer-pro-ducer and head of the KNX new* bureau, will supervise this extracurricular activity open to all students. In addition to his duties at KNX, Jones is also instructor of radio writing and production at SC. Auditions and Interviews for positions in the new radio group will be held this afternoon after 3:45 In the sound recording room of the Cinema Workshop building. Fisher Gallery Exhibits Student Creative Work Summer School students are urged to visit the Fisher Art gallery to see the display of work which has been done by the students of th* College of Architecture and Fine Arts, which will go off display Tuesday.
