To the position of Director, Prof. y L. French, director of the .hool of Journalism, has been amed. Mr. French attended the Tniversity of Wisconsin as a wound-veteran under the government rehabilitation plan as it existed after World war I. Further, he has served some 17 months as an officer in the army air corps during the present conflict.

Delegates determine grid policy
The first steps toward a pregame armistice between the cross-town campuses of SC and UCLA for the 1944 football season were diagramed Tuesday night at a meeting attended by student leaders, faculty members, and athletic staff officials on the UCLA campus.
SC representatives included Dr. Hugh C. Willett, director of the office of admissions and chairman of the meeting; Dean Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men; Arnold Eddy. ASSC graduate manager; and Dick Nash, director of the athletic news bureau. Student delegates were were Jean Working, acting ASSC student body president; Bob Thompson, yell king; Mary Frances Touton. editor of the Trojan; Harlan Herzberg. president of the Interfraternity council; Phil Kirst. president of Knights; and Sid Hoskins, acting Trojan sports editor.
Campus leaders from UCLA also attended the meeting, and athletic representatives included Babe Horrell, varsity coach; Bill Spaulding, director of athletics; John Olmstead. faculty athletic representative and president of the Pacific coast conference; and Bill Ackerman, graduate manager. Discussion of the evening centered around such subjects as the Victory Bell, painting of Tommy Trojan and the UCLA campus and student body activities in the Coliseum during the game on Sept. 23.
Through the cooperation ot these groups of student leaders from SC and UCLA it is hoped that the juvenile tricks performed during tbe day* before the SC-UCLA games in previous years will be prevented.
Especially emphasized at thc conference was the fact that the Sept. 23rd game, the first of two crosstown grid events, will not be considered in the contest for ^the Victory Bell, jointly owned by SC and UCLA. The bell will go to the winner of the second game on Nov-25.
Knights plan Trovet fete
In order to get better acquainted with the Trovets, the Trojan Knights are sponsoring a smoker for the two groups tonight. Under the chairmanship of Joe Holt, Sigma Phi Epsilon, the Phi Sigma Kappa house, 938 West 28th street, has been obtained to hold the get-together.
A cordial invitation has been extended to all Trovets on campus to attend this affair. Holt said. Dean Bacon, counselor of men. will be the special guest of the evening.
As a result of this meeting, it is believed that a stronger bond of friendship will be developed between these two organizations. Members of both groups are asked to bring any problem that they might have to the smoker. Dean Bacon has expressed the desire to help settle any problems which either of the groups have.
Everything but the elephants will invade SC tonight when circus-time comes to Troy. From 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Harris hall will be transformed from a hall of learning to carnival grounds.
A midway of concessions in the architecture library patio and roof dancing to latest and most popular records will fill the evening s entertainment bill. Pat Conrad, Wampus editor, will turn mystic and gaze into her crystal to inform circus-goers of their past, present, and future.
A dart-throwing booth has been planned by Beryl Erns-berger, president of Casa de Rosas, and her committee, with prizes for the experts and caricatures of Axis leaders as targets. Even Tommy the Wamp will be on hand, states Chris Christenson, president of Manzanita, and her assistant, Mary Alden, planners of a ring-tossing amusement with Tommy the object of the aims.
Lagunita women will carry out a unique idea with their
game-of-skill concession in which candles in a row must be extinguished with water pistols at 10 feet to win a prize. Caricature artists will exercise their talents on the carnival-bound Trojans, while request records wlfl be played on an outdoor broadcasting system so that music can be heard by fun-seekers on the midway as *well* as by dancers on the starlit roof. Cokes may be purchased in the patio.
“This is the last dig before the football season starts,” reminds Jack Collis, president of the School Of Architecture and chairman-for-the1 committee- tm-arrangements for the dig. The gala festivities should offer a grand opportunity for Trojans to get that football spirit started.
A colorful evening packed full of knock-out entertainment and well-planned fun has been arranged by the architecture students who are urging every student at SC to come join the party.	y	.

Russians storm into Warsaw, capture Praga
LONDON, Sept. 15 — (U.P> — Russian troops, climaxing a bitter sev-en-week siege, yesterday, stormed into Warsaw and captured the Polish capital's great industrial borough of Praga, separated from the main city only by the quartermile wide Vistula river.
The fall of Praga. one of the most powerfully-fortified Nazi strong-points on the eastern front, cleared the way for the total liberation of Warsaw. Moscow dispatches said early today that hundreds of Red army guns under eight artillery generals already were laying down a steady barrage on the German garrison in the main city area on the Vistula’s west bank.
The liberation of Praaa, comprising almost one-third of the entire city area, was accomplished by Marshal Konstantin K. Rokosso-vky’s first white Russian army, fighting side by side with the first Polish division of Lt. Gen. Zig-mund Berling's first Polish army.
While the battle for Warsaw entered its final stages. Gen. Matvei Zakharov’s second white Russian army to the northeast cleared the Germans from their last foothold on the south bank of the Narew river, capturing Nowogrod, 16 miles south of the border of East Prussia and eight miles northwest of the fallen enemy fortress of Lomza.
In central Romania, Red army forces drove to within 14 miles southeast of Cluj, capital of Hungarian-annexed Transylvania, by seizing Turda in an 18-mile advance, In that Hungarian territory, some 4500 square miles have been cleared of German and Hungarian troops and Russian troops smashed to within a mile of the key communications center of Toplita after the capture of Gheorghesi.

elections committee. The dates for the coming student body registration and candidates’ petitions was presented and ratified by the senate.
Since Oct. 30 is the last day in which the present legislative body may act officially, the election date was set for Oct. 6. Requirements for candidates were discussed.
According to the amendment passed by the senate last year, a total of 72 units completed is necessary for presiden-
tial, vice-presidential, and secretarial nominees.
A suggestion was made that the War Chest drive scheduled for Oct. 2 to 6 be postponed until the opening of next term. The proposal was accepted by the War Board leader Frank McMahon to be given to a committee for consideration.
Because of the resignation of Jean Welsh as assistant elections commissioner, Jackie Williams suggested an alternate Joe Holt was proposed for the position and the motion wa§ passed.
Reporting a meeting with campus leaders at UCLA concerning the policies of the two UCLA-SC gridiron games this year, Miss Working said that it was hoped that a feeling of amiability could be fostered between the two institutions.
• Speaking for the rally committee and on behalf of the Trojan Knights, sponsors of the post-game dance Sept. 23, Phil Kirst said that Paul Martin and Muzzy Marcellino had been obtained for the affair.
Two rooms will be utilized for the dance which will be cosponsored by the junior and senior classes at the Westwood campus. Bids, Kirst said, would go on sale today.
