Fifty-yard line seats offered band enlistees
“Free admission to the football games, a seat on the fifty-yard line, the privilege of wearing the snappy Trojan band uniform, and the satisfaction that comes from knowing one is contributing to school spirit in a big way,” those are some of the benefits to be gained by joining the Trojan band, said Ralph Chadwick, student manager of the group.
Seventy-two musicians are needed to insure a full complement of 100 members to help launch the 1945 grid season Sept. 21 when the Trojan gridmen meet UCLA in the opener.
“No premliminary auditions are necessary,” Chadwick stated, “Students interested in becoming members need only appear for the next rehearsal Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the band room of the Cinema building.
“We are looking forward to another big year, and there is a place in the band for anyone who has had experience with a band instrument.” The background of the Trojan band has been an illustrious one and the national popularity of the Trojan fight song can be partly attributed to the manner in which lt has been played by cardinal and gold bands of the past.
Besides playing at football games, the band performs at all the rallies and at numerous student body programs.
“This is an excellent opportunity to obtain musical experience,” said Chadwick, “and also an opportunity to foster some genuine school spirit.”
Dr. Lucien Cailliet, director of the university band and orchestra, recently conducted the band in a performance at the Hollywood canteen. The group also appeared as the feature attraction of a community concert at Monrovia and Arcadia last spring.
If students so desire, they may receive one unit of credit for their work in the band.

Rest's in sight—
Christmas nears
Everyone else was asleep or at the beach, but school went on as usual for Trojans yesterday, or did you know that?
Memories of the time when Labor day meant rest day and a perfect “beach” sun depleted the masses in SC’s classrooms as professors read off skeleton rolls.
But many obedient souls trudged through their duties and got one day ahead of those who were more stubborn. Oh, well, cheer up. Christmas is coming.

Audience lauds violin program
Betty Robinson, graduate student and pupil of Anton Maaskoff, presented a violin concert last night at 8:30 in Bowne hall. The concert was offered for her bachelor’s degree in violin. The program consisted of Sonata in F Major, Mozart; “Symphonie Espagnole,” Lalo; Praeludium and Allegro, Kreisler; “Liebesleid,” Kreisler; and “Hejre Kati,” Hubay.
The most striking of her pieces was the “Symphonie Espagnole” for its rhythmic and melodic sequences.
While on campus, Miss Robinson was a member of the university band, and was concert mistress and student conductor of the university orchestra. She also represented the School of' Music on the religious council.
. Before coming to SC Miss Robinson’s musical activities were varied and many. She was concert mistress of the all-city high school orchestra for three years, played in the national high school orchestra in 1940. and played under such renowned conductors as Walter Dam-rocsh, Otto Klemperer, and Vlad-mir BakaleinikofT.
' Miss Robinson opened with the Mozart sonata, and played only the first, fourth, and fifth movements of the Lalo composition. “It is interesting to note,” she pointed out, “that the middle section of the fifth movement of the Lalo symphony has the same melodic lines as the beginning of the fourth movement, but with a different rhythm and in a different key.”
The violinist was accompanied by Georgellen Hill, a graduate student who majored in mathematics, and has taught here during the summer semester. “I was happy Miss Hill accompanied me for this mast important concert,” said Miss Robinson, “and I feel her unfailing assistance helped make it a success.”

Simulating the atmosphere w'hich prevails wherever the SC team plays, cokes and popcorn will be available for students, faculty, and team members who attend the affair.
Refreshments will be served from the terrace of the Alpha Chi Omega house to quench the thirst and cool the hoarse throats of the revelers.
“Trojan songs and yells, led by Terry Nelson, cheer leader, will resound throughout the neighborhood. New students will have an opportunity to learn all the famous Trojan cheers, and old students will be able to shout at the top of their lungs.
The air will be filled wTith the sound of loud Trojan songs and cheers,” added Gwen Shaw, publicity chairman.
Questions as to the identity of SC’s own Grapple Gertie and her strange and sinister influence over the football team will be answered when Grapple Gertie herself is presented as the honored guest of the evening. She will be introduced during an interlude between records.
Hours for the pre-season rally have been set at 7 to 10 p.m., so that trainees and civilian students alike will be able to attend.
Qualified veterans of World war XI may take advantage of educational benefits under provisions of the California veteran’s educational act, regardless of whether they are already obtaining or will re-.ceive training under the G.L bill, public law 346, or the federal educational rehabilitation program, public law 16.
Tuition is paid up to $1000 and a $40 a month subsistance allotment is allowed for the time spent at school. At the present time about 11 SC students are enrolled under this program.
Educational benefits available under public laws 346 and 16 are well known to veterans and the general public, but very few persons know much about the school training afforded by the state of California to its veterans, assord-ing to Thomas M. Leahy assistant to the superviser of education of the state veterans’ welfare board. Leahy stated that comparatively few veterans know that under the provisions of the California educational measure, a qualified person may augment his or her school .training available unde* both public laws.
A veteran may acquire his education benefits under the California educational act that prohibits a student from discontinuing his education under the state program and resuming it after obtaining his available federal education aid. However, a veteran may not receive federal and state educational aid simultaneously.
A “veteran.” under the state program, is “any person who served in the military or naval service of the United States on or after Dec. 7, 1941, and before the .termination of hostilities in the present war, and who received an honorable discharge.” There is no minimum number of days or months that a veteran must have served stipulated, as is the case under the federal program.
In addition, to be eligible, a serviceman or servicewoman must have been a legal resident of this (Continued on Page Three)

American
occupation
expands
YOKOHAMA. Sept. 4.— (U.P.) — American airborne troops landed on the second Japanese home island today, taking over Kanoya airdrome on southern Kyushu. Other occupation forces extended their foothold on eastern Tokyo bay to 50 miles as they fanned out in swift envelopment of the Japanese homeland.
Two planes carrying 20 technicians of the 11th airborne division took off from Atsugi in the Tokyo bridgehead and flew 572 miles south-westward to Kanoya, landing there at 1:30 p.m. (12:30 a.m. EWT).
Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s occupation schedule calls for powerful new forces of airborne troops to land at Kanoya tomorrow while a seafiorne armada sails into Kagoshima bay and disgorges other thousands of Americans in the Takasu port area, four miles southwest of Kanoya.
The landing point in Kagoshima bay is 375 miles north of the nearest American base at Okinawa. Thus the seaborne occupation forces must already be on the high seas and may even have entered the narrow mouth of Kagoshima bay.
(Tokyo radio reported that MacArthur summoned Japanese foreign minister Mamoru Shigemitsu to his headquarters in the new Grand hotel at Yokohama for a lengthy conference this morning regarding the American occupation of Tokyo.
‘MacArthur shortly will move his headquarters to the American embassy building at Tokyo, the broadcast said as recorded by United Press in San Francisco. The Supreme Allied commander wiU live in the American ambassador’s official residence and his staff will take up quarters in the nearby Daiiti hotel near Shimbasishi railroad station. Tokyo said.)
Lt Gen. Robert L. Eichelber-ger’s U. S. eighth army sent 3000 men of the 112th regimental combat team across Tokyo bay to take over the Tateyama naval base from advance marine detachments. At the same time another advance party of the 11th airborne division landed at Chiba, (Continued on Page Four)
