Men s Service Programs Told
Six Reserve Representatives Clarify Plans
of Various Military Branches at Assembly
by Dick Werlich
A clear, complete, and fully explanatory discussion of the ramifications of the various armed service reserve plans was presented to SC men yesterday morning from 9:50 a.m. to noon in a special wartime assembly in Bovard auditorium.
Six representatives from the various branches of the armed forces gave 15-minute talks
“Student Leadership in the Postwar World" and “The Promotion of International Friendship” will be Classes in occupational therapy
the subjects of talks to be given by the four national heroes who will visit the SC campus on Oct. 12. sheeet of i Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid will preside over a student assembly in honor of the visitors in Bovard auditorium at 10:45 a.m.
An example of woman’s place in the war, Sr. Lt. Liudmila Pavlich-enko, outstanding as a Russian sniper, was recently decorated in recognition of her feat of killing 309 enemy men and officers. Touring with Sr. Lt. Pavlichenko will be Lt. Johannes Woltjer, research engineer of the Netherlands; Wing Commander Scott Malden of Great Britain: rfnd Sub-Lieutenant Richard Miles, a member of the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve.

JO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 6—(U.P.)—Trade agreements were ounced today for the sale to the United States of more n $127,000,000 worth of Brazilian coffee, cocoa, Brazil nuts, a quantity of manufactured rubber goods, he agreements were signed by United States Ambassador
combine scientific knowledge with crafts, he added.
WOMEN REPLACE MEN
Dr. Vivian, dean of the College of Engineering, emphasized the fact that everyday more women are replacing men in technical and nontechnical jobs at the aircraft factories.
“Industries are crying for women with even a small background of chemistry, physics, and mathematics.” Dr. Vivian said.
More and more science teachers are needed as men leave for the armed forces, he said. In addition library workers and secretaries with a technical background are much in demand.
HORIZONS UNLIMITED
“Of course lt is not nearly so glamorous to work ln Industry as to parade around ln a pretty uniform, but the horizons are unlimited.” Dr. Vivian concluded.
The four main divisions of commerce were covered by Mrs. Louise Denny, former instructor in the SC School of Journalism, and co-author of a secretarial handbook.
Even before the war. women were predominant in certain commercial fields and now they are definitely the greater number, Mrs. Denny said.
DEMAND GREAT
The greatest opportunities to be found in commerce at the present time lie in the personnel field, according to Mrs. Denny. In all three divisions—civil service, military personnel. and employment service for civilians—the demand for women with a broad education in psychology is a great one. The Jobs are of two types, interviewing and occupational counseling. The last named requires the greater training and skill, according to Mrs. Denny.
Nurses and laboratory technicians were the general subject of Miss Larsen, head of the nurses school at the California hospital. Her advice to the women was not to go into short courses if they intend to become nurses or laboratory technicians. Instead, she advised the regular university classes in bacteriology, zoology, physics, chemistry. and physiology.
Baxter Speaks at Assembly
‘Look to Future,’ Women Advised
“What will you be like when you’re 35? 40? 45? Will you go running to a 15-minute lecture by a professor to get your ‘culture’?” asked Dr. Frank C. Baxter at the lower classwomens general assembly yesterday morning at 11 a.m. in Bridge hall. “Or will you be well-based in education, not with a false idea of the composites of culture?”
Miss Mildred Foreman, director of occupations at UCLA, another guest speaker, gave a bird’s-eye view of how a young girl may prepare herself for a job.
USEFUL COURSES
“No matter what students are majoring in, they should acquire courses that will be useful in the war effort in case women are drafted,” Miss Foreman stated emphatically. “Typing will aid you in any amount of ways in later life, whether you use it now or not. With only two years of chemistry or a course in trigonometry, a young woman may acquire for herself an enviable position with companies that before now did not hire women. Now, they greet them with open arms!’'
WASTED KNOWLEDGE
“Riveting and welding are well-paid positions, but for college girls? Do not waste the knowledge and the chance for an education in times like these. Fit yourself in a field in which you will be useful when the emergency arises,” Miss Foreman advised.
Dean Helen Moreland, well-satisfied with the results and attendance of all assemblies, gave credit where credit was due. “Miss Elizabeth Ely, assistant to the counselor of women, arranged for most of the speakers, and practically the whole of the general arrangements were in her hands. The Amazons, as usual, managed the machinery remarkably well,” she remarked. “They were everywhere at once.’*
explaining the qualifications and training necessary for acceptance into each branch of the service.
Following a brief message of introduction and welcome by President Rufus B. von KleinSmid, the assembly was turned over to Dr. A. S. Raubenheimer, campus liaison representative for ,the service reserve programs, who introduced the speakers.
EMPHASIZES COOPERATION
Lt. Ned Marr, speaking on behal! of the navy’s V-l and V-7 programs, emphasized the necessity cf cooperation between the branches of the nation’s armed forces during wartime.
“We of the service have put aside any friendly rivalry that may have existed during peacetime, and are concentrating on winning the war,” Lieutenant Marr stated. IMPORTANT POINTS LISTED
The important points in the navy’s reserve programs, as summarized by Lieutenant Marr, follow.
The navy has two programs, the V-l program for lower-classmen and the V-7 plan for juniors and seniors. For both classifications, the applicant must be an American citizen. Age of the V-l men must be between 17 and 26. while the V-7 applicants must be between 18 and 28.
Enlistment ln V-l of men aged 17 now in college will be closed Dec. 31.
Candidates for V-l and V-7 must be unmarried, and must remain single until a short time after being commissioned. If under 21 at the time of enlistment, the prospective reservist must obtain written consent of his parents before being sworn in. Applicants must agree to complete four years of college. Including one full year of college-level mathematics and one year of college physics.
EXAM GIVEN
At the end of the first two years’ college work, a comprehensive examination is given by the navy Lieutenant Marr said this exam should not prove difficult for the average student. Upon passing the test, the V-l student is transferred to V-7 status.
Naval aviation’s program was explained by Lt. Earnest Roll, USN. The V-5 program. Lieutenant Roll said, will operate to keep prospective naval airmen in college for only one more year, because of the great need for naval pilots. He then gave the important qualifications and a description of the program's aspects.
The candidate is interviewed and (Continued on Page 4)

• Bob McKay, associated students president, stated that he thought
the newly organized car-sharing plan introduced this year will go far to alleviate the gasoline problem if the students will give it their full coperation.
Dean Bacon stated that the war would bring greater unity among the students Decause they would be living in more confined quarters, and there would be a greater number of students on the campus. He predicted that Trojans would see more activity provided for them on the campus than they have in the past.
S.A.E. men believe that they have the situation well in hand by providing several extra rooms in their house and by levying fines on their members who leave their heaters and lights on during the day. They expect to hold their last out-of-the-house party next week, and afterward all social life will be confined to 28th street.
The women are not to be outdone by the men ln this national emergency. Alpha Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, and many other sorority women are sharing their cars and walking to school in a dtermin-ed effort to help save both gasoline and rubber.

Dance to Follow WSC Grid Clash
The annual Blue Key dance will follow the SC - Washington State football game on Oct. 17 at the Florentine room of the Beverly-Wilshire hotel, with' Rudolf Friml, Jr., and his band supplying the music, Aurel Gilbert, president of Blue Gey, men’s honorary service organization announced yesterday.
Members of the Trojan football team will be on hand at the occas-sion as guests of Blue Key. Gilbert suggests the possibility of this dance being the last off-campus affair before gas rationing goes into effect, as further inducement for a record turnout of the Trojan student body at this affair.
The Friml orchestra, scheduled to provide the music, played at the Junior prom two years ago and has played for other university dances. Kenneth Morse and Wallace Brown are in charge of entertainment.
Dance bids will go on sale soon and may be purchased for $1.65 from any member of Blue Key or at the University bookstore. Reed Sprinkel is in charge of the bids.

U.S. Airmen Bag Cruiser, 11 Jap Planes
Nippon Units Hit in Solomons Action Near Guadalcanal
WASHINGTON, Oct. G—O) — American fliers, surprising a Japanese fleet unit in the act of landing reinforcements of Guadalcanal island in the Solomons, have damaged an enemy heavy cruiser and shot down 11 Japanese planes, the navy disclosed tonight in a communique which reported more Japanese landings and intensified fighting.
Two of the 11 Japanese Zero fighters that were downed were bagged by anti-aircraft fire. Navy Wildcat fighting planes got the other nine.
STRAFING CONTINUES
Meantime, army, navy and marine corps pursuit planes and dive bombers continued to strafe enemy troops and supply dumps on Guadalcanal.
The communique, reporting "little activity” between opposing ground forces, nonetheless bristled with indications the Japanese were preparing for a determined attempt to recapture the main American-held island.
BOMBERS SCORE
The cruiser, engaged with several destroyers in landing troop reinforcements on Guadalcanal, was set upon last Friday night (Washington time) by navy and marine dive bombers which scored at least one hit.
Shortly after daybreak, navy and marine torpedo bombers pounced on the “still smoking” cruiser and scored two torpedo hits.
New Japanese landing operations followed by a few hours—on Friday —a raid on Guadalcanal by a “small group’' of Japanese bomber* spearheaded by about 30 Zero fighters.

Troy's Students Ignore Car-Sharing Proposal
by Grelun Landon
“It’s disgusting,” flatly stated Bob McKay, president ol the ASSC, after hearing the results of the initial tryout attempt of the share-your-car plan for the Glendale, Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, and Alhambra districts. “Only 16 students turned in their names yesterday and none wer® from these areas.”
-It’s very disgusting,” sharply asserted Kathleen Gelcher, student of the ASSC, after hearing the relayed statement of President McKay. “I’m from Glendale and I was there to turn In my name. No one in the office knew what I should do. No one gave cards either to myself or the other students who reported to 235 Student Union, yesterday afternoon, as we were requested.”
