Moscow meet strengthens Allied cause
MOSCOW, Oct. 31. — (U.E) — The three power conferences have been more successful than even the most optimistic observers expected, it was understood today as foreign ministers of the United States, Great Britain and Russia held their 13th, and possibly last, business session, following a lavish state banquet tendered Saturday night by Premier Marshal Joseph Stalin.
Saturday’s meeting was described as one of the longest and most fruitful of the series which began on Oct. 19th. A committee of experts was finishing the final draft of agreements among the main conferees.
(A CBS broadcast from London said a communique on results of the conference would be released in Moscow late Monday afternoon, New York time.)
The banquet, which broke up at 2:30 this morning after taking six hours of wining and dining, was marked by extreme cordiality among the 60 guests and was believed to indicate the approaching end of the historic meetings. Held in a marble columned hall of the Kremlin’s Imperial palace, the banquet was highlighted by two toasts which Stalin, wearing a Red army marshal’s uniform, proposed—to the Allied navies and merchant fleets and to Lieut. Gen. Mark W. Clark’s Anglo-American 5th army and Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery’s British 8th army.
Other toasts were drunk to Stalin, President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, the Allied airmen bombing Germany, the Allied armies in Italy and to the success of the Moscow conferences.
(A CBS reporter in Moscow said more than 20 toasts were drunk.)
Lt. Gen. Giffard Le Quesne Martel, chief of the British military mission, Congratulated Stalin on the Red army which he said in a toast “is the only army that could have crossed the Dnieper.” Stalin crossed the room and shook the hand of British foreign secretary Anthony Eden after that toast.

newspaper romance
Lt. Eddie Hamilton might like Leta Galentine, but according to the acting SC student body president, she has no interest in him other than the platonic act of writing a few
letters over a three year period.
"‘The downtown papers simply misconstrued everything,”
stated Miss Galentine. "People have called and written letters congratulating me, but I have no romantic interest at all in Lieutenant Hamilton.”
Miss Galentine furthc stated that though the pictures of * taken holding Lieutenant HamL. :>n’s pictures and another pensively writing him were snapped with her consent, she had no idea of the way in which the papers intended to publish them and the related story.
The whole situation developed from a news story wired down from Alaska where Lieutenant Hamilton is stationed; He reported that he had written Miss Galentine while in Chili on a pool with seven other boys. Since that time three years ago he has written her and she has replied spasmodically.
“At this point I still have no ro-
mantic interest in Lieutenant Hamilton, and the whole thing Is a big mistake,” Miss Galentine concluded.
Former ASSC President Bill Caldwell, who graduated from SC last week, received a telegram Saturday night ordering him to report to the navy office this morning at 10 to pick up his orders. Although Caldwell had no definite idea of his immediate future, he expects to be entrained to Columbia university, N.Y., by 5 this evening.
This move leaves Leta Galentine acting president ofthe student body until elections are held again next February. Miss Galentine will be the second woman acting president' In SC’s history, having been preceded by Charlotte Quinn, who was Troy’s head for a week last spring when Bob McKay reported for duty with the navy.
Due to the constitutional requirement that a man be president of the student body, Miss Galentine carf only be acting president. At elections next February, a man will be chosen for the president’s position and another woman will fill the vice-president job. A constitutional amendment was required for moving up the elections to February.
Meantime student body affairs will proceed as ifsual, with a senate meeting scheduled for Wed-, nesday night. At this time the new members will be introduced, two new appointments will be made, the fate of the El Rodeo will be decided, and the dent and pharmacy dance for Caldwell will be discussed.
Miss Galentine will hold down the presidency for the, longest time a ^woman ever has in Troy’s history— a full term.

Coordination of all student university war activities and the development of more student work which can be of direct aid to the war effort, the goal which was set by the SC War Board at the opening of the summer term, was partially achieved according to a resume of the summer made by the members of the bc^rd.
Two major accomplishments of the term was the redecorating of the men’s grill in the basement of the Student Union; rechristened the Poop Deck, it is a retreat for servicemen, and the record breaking dual visit of the Red Cross mobile bloodbank which saw a total of 741 pints of blood collected.
Under its chairman Patty Wiese, the W7ar Board was set up at the opening of the semester according to a new plan. Miss Wiese was given control of the board with only the approval of the ASSC senate over her. Her first move was to appoint a cabinet of Mickey Heeger, servicemen’s representative; Carroll Brinkerhoff, chairman of stamps and bonds; Helen Taylor, chairman of Red Cross activities; Bob Meyer, chairman of postwar planning; Charles Aylesbury, chairman of home defense; Dorothy (Continued on Page Eleven)
