Fawell hits rumors
A number of rumors have spread about the campus to the effect that an inflexible formula will determine those v-12 trainees to be separated from the Naval College Training program. The rumors have no basis in fact.
The navy and university authorities are cooperating to qualify rather than disqualify students of the navy V-12 unit.
A student must have a satisfactory academic standing to continue as a member of the Naval College Training program. At the same time each individual case will be judged for its own merits. For example, a student with one D, one C, and three Bs will not be separated from the program because of a D in one subject.
The best yardstick is one the student can apply himself; namely, “Am I making sufficient progress to complete the academic work required by my currimulum in a manner that meets the academic standards of the University of Southern California?”—Capt. Reed M. Fawell, ComHiander, SC Navy College Training program.
Baxter to read war poetry tomorrow

Baxter, head of the SC English department and expert on Elizabethan literature, will give a review and analysis of the poetry that has been written during the present war in the fifth of the current series of book interpretations at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow in Bowne hall, philosophy building.
It is a sort of axiom, according

Graduate School annuals printed
The proceedings of the annual conferences of the Alumni Association of the Graduate School of Social Work for the years 1941, 1942, and 1943 have recently been published in a 76-page volume.
The publication was planned under the direction of Miss Frances Lomas, president of the Alumni Council for the School of Social Work. It contains papers treating the topics “The Expanding Field of Social Work,” “Changing Emphases in Social Work,” and “The Wartime Responsibilities of Social Woifc.”
Dr. Arlien Johnson, dean of the Graduate School of Social Work, summarizes the publication in the foreword:
“These papers, taken together, present an interesting and unfolding analysis of developments in social work because of the record they provide of social changes and of the efforts of social workers to deal with these changes.”
Copies may be obtained at the School of Social Work office, 205 Administration building.
to Dr. Baxter, that every great social, economic, or political change begins- with a work of literature. This work, he says, may be an essay, a novel, a drama, or a poem.
“Men of letters,” says Dr. Baxter, “are among the prophets and the founders of the American revolution. . the French, revolution, and every other great milestone in his-try.”
Dr. Baxter points out the case of Shelley as an example and shows that Shelley’s so-called poetic “dreams” have become political realities. It is this parallel between writing and political, social, and economic changes that Dr. Baxter will discuss.
“Today,” he says, “we are conscious of new stirrings in poetry. It is not martial, dramatic, or per-fervid; rather, it is hopeful, determined, reassuring in its belief that out of the contemporary welter there will come some new, mpre sensible world in which men will have a chance to live richer and more rounded lives.”
By presenting selections of many contemporary writers, Dr. Baxter will point out that this belief of the modern poet is the faith of much modern writing and “that it is uttered as a rallying cry to battle, not as mere optimism.”
The current book interpretation series in under the sponsorship ol the student council of religion, the faculty religious interests committee, and the University library.

Navy commandant inspects V-12 unit
Amid the rhythmic music of the NROTC drum and bugle corps and Henderson hall band, 1130 trainees of the SC Naval College Training program passed in review before Rear Adm. D. W. Bagley, commandant of the 11th naval district, Saturday in the first complete unit inspection of the term.
As the trainees marched from Hoover boulevard down University avenue, crowds came out to watch. Men wore summer whites and khaki for the informal review and members of the NROTC unit wore leggings.
The official reviewing group included Admiral Bagley, President Rufus B. von KleinSmid, Capt. Reed M. Fawell, commander of the SC Navy College program; Comdr. P. R. Baker, Comdr. R E. Kerr, and Lt. (j.g.) G. P. Greenwald.
Commenting on the review, Admiral Bagley said:
“Much thought and much work on the part of the country’s leading educators and naval experts (Continued on Page Four)
“Double, double, toil,and trouble, fires burn and cauldrons bubble ...” Witchcraft and spooks, ladders and black cats will be the order of the evening at the sixth all-U dig of the term Friday night from 8:30 to 9:30. The Friday the 13th dance is being sponsored by the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and will be held at its house, 2431 South Figueroa.
With decorations stressing the jinx motif, the PiKAs are opening their double living room for dancing, their porch for ping pong, and their catacombed cellar for refreshments consisting of root beer and doughnuts. An orchestra, as yet unengaged, will play for the PiKA-sponsored spook party. Two movie stars probably will be present at the dance, according to Leta Galentine, ASSC vice-president.
Clyde Lee and Bill Waters art handling the affair for the PiKAs. As usual, women will wear cotton dresses and men uniforms. The affair is non-da^e, said Miss Galentine, although couples may attend.
Last Friday night at the Alpha Delta Pi house Brenda Joyce appeared in person for the dance sponsored by the SC Red Crosi committee. Del Bond’s orchestra from Pasadena played for this all-U dig. Miss Joyce said a few word* to the crowd and danced with some of the servicemen.
Bulletin issued for college
The new College of Letters, Arte, and Sciences bulletin was issued last week, complete with wartime changes including the substitution of the word “term” ln place of “semester.”
The school year will be composed of summer, winter, and spring terms for the duration, with no use of the word “semester.”
Henderson men plan date dance
Dancing to the strains of soft music under a full moon will be many servicemen and their favorite partners Saturday night, when an informal date dig is held on the tennis court of the Theta Xi house, 919 West Adams boulevard. Under the auspices of V-12 men of Henderson hall, the affair will last from 8:30 to 12 midnight.
The Henderson hall committee was unable to obtain the services of Alvino Rey and his orchestra, as was previously expected. It has not been announced who will provide music for the dig.
Not to disappoint those who had planned on dancing to Rey’s music, Cal Straub, Henderson hall trainee in charge of the affair, announced that the men plan to engage the orchestra for another dance later in the summer.
Marine yields to flattery, loses nickel
The kid had been standing by the door of Williams hall for a good part of the afternoon when a marine trainee walked up to him and asked what he wanted. The boy said he was just looking.
“Someday,” announced the youngster, seriously, “I am gdlng to be a marine.”
The trainee agreed that would be great.
“Do you like the marines?” the boy wanted to know.
The marine said he did.
“I think the marines are the best. Mom said I can join when I am old enough. Then 111 get to wear a uniform like you. I think marine uniforms are the best. Someday I’ll have big muscles like you. See how big my muscles are now?”
The trainee said the boy’s muscles were as big as his. The trainee* was being generous. The kid was likeable and was a good talker for his age. The loyalty of the boy to the corps also impressed the trainee.
“You know what I wish?” said the youngster at length. “I wish
I	had a nickel so I could get a coke.”
The boy got the nickeL
