A thirty minute private parley interrupted only by the presence of eight beautful women resulted in the selection of the sophomore candidate for queen, who will, if her class is successful in the freshman-sophomore brawl, reign over an all-U dance presented Oct. 7 by the College of Engineering.

Monday and will continue indefinitely. They will admit purchasers to play productions, social functions, athletic activities, and other university events, and will give students priority when purchasing tickets for relatives and friends.
Students with activity books may sit in the SC rooting section in the Coliseum, and will have the privilege of participating in the card stunts and school yells. They will have choice seats at the games, seven of which will be at home.

purchasers to present student body cards in order to obtain the activity books, since the cashier has a list of students who have been accepted for the next ^term by the university. Sales, however, will be made only in person.

Hejoms staff
Benson returns to SC from OWI position
Dr. Ivan Benson, department of journalism professor, returned to campus yesterday after serving for 15 months as chief of the Scandinavian section of the OWI in New York city.
Replacing Marc Goodnow, who has gone on a vacation,
Dr. Benson will take over the two copyreading classes in the journalism department.
He will continue his affiliation with the OWI as Pacific coast consultant for his division while at SC.
In directing the news and editorial material of the OWI to the Scandinavian nations, Dr. Benson also was in charge of 15 to 20 daily radio programs to neutral Sweden, occupied Denmark and Norway, and to Finland. A staff of 40 experts was required to handle the volume of cable, radio, and printed material.
“Such propaganda no doubt had much to do with the recent decision of Finland to forsake Germany and to join with the Allies,” said Dr. Benson, “and we know from daily contacts with underground movements in Norway and Denmark that their leaders will rise up at the proper time, just as the Maquis did in France, to help drive the Nazis from their countries.” Dr. Benson was in Sweden in 1939 and 1940 during the outbreak of the war to study the freedom of the press and social legislation at the IVAN BENSON	invitation of the Swedish govern-
retums to Troy. ment.
