Knights elect new leaders
Kappa Sig prexy Bob Campbell was elected president of the Trojan Knights, junior men's service honorary, at the last meeting of the organization. Campbell was formerly president of the Squires, sophomore men’s service honorary.
Other officers elected were Ted Chort, vice-president: Bob Tobias, secretary; and Don Shaw, treasurer. Bud Townsend, senior member of the Knights, was chosen as a member of the Knight cabinet. Formal installation of the new officers was held Oct. 23.
Founded in 1926, the Knights are essentially the guardians of the traditions of the university. Their iuties include ushering at rallies and football games, organizing and supervising the rooting section, planning rallies, and acting in the capacity of official university hosts.
The Knight trophies are the SC banner which is raised behind the SC rooting section at the * football games, the Trojan Knight war flag, and the Trojan Knight sword, which was formerly on the track at the games facing the SC goal. This year, however, the sword is not on display at the games because the Knights are more vitally needed in the rooting section, Campbell said.

First work of the Y leaders was begun last Sunday when they met at the Y house to lay out the year’s plans at the traditional YWCA cabinet and council retreat. Advisers of the various clubs outlined their ideas for the winter and spring terms, and members of the advisory board met with the officers at an informal dinner.
Membership ,to the YWCA is open to all women on campus at one dollar per year, entitling the members to full participation in all Y clubs, stated Jane Earl, chairman of the membership campaign.
With their new the*r»e, “Life at the Y,” the YWCA executive officers and cabinet members have outlined programs for the Freshman club, the Sophomore-Junior club, the Public Affairs club, the Hostess club, the Social Welfare club, the World Friendship club, the Poster club, and the Religious club.
The Y house, located at the corner of 36th street and Hoover boulevard, will be open every day this week, and membership dues may be paid to Mrs. Ruth H. Grant, executive secretary of the Y, during house hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The American bombers scored with their explosives in the target area and “preliminary reports indicate the attack was highly successful,” a special communique said.
The announcement of the Wiener-Neustadt raid, the third on that target by planes based in the Mediterranean area, came simultaneously with Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s revelation that Lt. Gen. Carl Spaatz had been named commander of American air forces throughout the Mediterranean, including the new 15th.
The 15th air force, it was announced, will supplement the work of the present 12th air force, concentrating on strategic long-range bombing of German military targets in occupied and satellite countries as new forward bases are established in Italy. It was not indicated immediately whether today’s raid was launched from Italy
The marine enlistment has dropped considerably, since the 59 men sent for officers training at Parris Island, S.C., are being replaced by only 11 trainees, said Commander Baker.
Of the 212 new sailors now attending SC, about 45 are from the general service while the remainder are new enlistees.
Last week Troy saw the debarkation of one draft of 28 men to Norfolk, Va., under the leadership of William Foard, former architecture major, and another of 22 to Naval Midshipmen’s school, New York, with Cal Straub, designer of the Poopdeck canteen, in charge.
The men attending the Midshipmen’s school in New York will be considered apprentice seamen for the first week of their training, which is a sort of probation period, according to Commander Baker. If they pass the exams and training, they are then coiisid-ered midshipmen until their uation from the school with c< missions of ensign.
Those sent to New York are Harold Davidson, Charles H. Fraser, Harvey F. Harris. Allan Robert Hul-ler, Charles E. Kelly, Eugene E. McCanahy, Nick W. Mandich, Robert W. Oliver, Adrian B. Sanford, Harvey H. Shields, Cal Straub, Karl N. Tashjian, Robert L. Walton, Joseph Weis, Adrian C. West, Clarence Williams, Louis Zitelli, Donald Lee Burdorf, Howard J. Callanan Jr., Victor A. Ferrari, Alfred Lee Fuller.
Sailors sent to Norfolk will be given further basic training and then sent to some midshipmens school for training as ensigns. Those entrained there are Thomas Ciocca, Paul John Schneider, Keith F. Adams, Thomas D. Bar-(Continued on Page Four)
