Our Greatest Record?
This Saturday, a world record is destined to be set in the coliseum. The old Olympic Torch at the top of this famous stadium has seen SC make many a record—the marks of Sefton and Meadows in the pole vault, of Earl Vickery in the low hurdles, of Fred Hauser in the discus throw, of Wykoff and Parsons in the sprints—none of these records compare with the one that will be set this Saturday by SC and UCLA.
Two weeks ago these two schools embarked upon a campaign to sell one million dollars worth of war bonds and stamps. It was at first hoped that this goal might be reached before the end of the championship game between the two schools, but so great was the response to the appeal for purchases that the goal was changed to two million dollars. Such a feat had never before been attempted by any Institution or social group.
Already, through the combined efforts of SC and UCLA, over a million dollars worth of stamps and bonds have been sold. It is hoped that before Saturday’s final gun has been fired, the goal will be reached.	%
Under the direction of Jack Williams, director of SC’s war board, SC will be responsible for 13 sections of the coliseum. Thirty-six members of the NROTC and 36 coeds will circulate through the grandstand and take orders for bonds. Throughout the coliseum there will be booths at which stamps of all price denominations will be sold. On the field there will be a giant cash register, and at half time

Jerome K. Jerome wrote “Passing of the Third Floor Back’* in 1906. It first appeared on the stage during the following year and has lost none of its popularity or vividness, remarked DeMille.
He scheduleld one final dress rehearsal tonight in Bovard auditorium before the opening performance. Bob Cashey, production manager, announced yesterday the ticket rates for the play which will run Friday. Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

“Although students attending the opening performance will wear ordinary attire, I might show up in a straight-jacket,” confided DeMille who emphasized the time and effort put forth by the cast in preparing for the production.
SC Engineers to Inaugurate Beard Week
The most bristly, the most luxuriant, the most abundant face fuzz ever to invade campus will be on view beginning Monday as the SO College of Engineering inaugurates the first annual Engineers’ Beard week.
The slide rule pushers will don levis and “T” shirts as the proper complement for the chin whiskers and will come forth from their refuge—the Engineering building— and exhibit their foliage.
QUEEN TO RULE
Climaxing the week will be a dance on Friday night, Dec. 18, at which time the Queen of the Slide Rules will be announced. The queen will be presented with a gold pin upon which will be engraved her name and her title.
COLLEGIATE ATMOSPHERE
“We hope to establish a custom that will become a part of the College of Engineering,” said Jimmy Tweedt, president" of the college. “Because of the rapid growth of the Engineering college, it has become more of a trade school. By instituting Beard week and other like customs we hope to inject more of the collegiate atmosphere into our surroundings.”
Assisting Tweedt is Hugo Francis, vice-president of the College of Engineering, who stated that all non-beard growers will be branded with a special chemical that adheres to the culprit for one week.
SECRET COMPOUND
“It’s a secret compound,” he said, “and has been invented especially for us by Dr. Herbert Waterman of the chemical engineering department.’*
Dr. Robert E. Vivian, acting dean of the College of Engineering, and David M. Wilson and J. K. Numan, professors of engineering, are assisting Tweedt and Francis with the final arrangements.

French West Africa's adherence to the allies also has freed Lieut. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower from political worries and will enable him to devote all his time to the military campaign in North Africa.
Many technical difficulties were involved in the drafting of the agreement, which was engineered by Admiral Jean Francois Darlan. One was the release of united nations internees held by Governor-General Pierre Boisson. The final agreement called for the release of all who had been arrested for aiding the allied occupation of North Africa.
Thus far Darlan has lived up to the letter of his promise to cooperate with the united nations.
