Dr. J. Eugene Harley, of the political science department, in an-ouncing the initiation stated that j the ceremonies will begin promptly a 6 p.m. and will continue until 7,1 after which a dinner will be served.
Pi Sigma Alpha is an honorary political science fraternity w'hich includes members of the fields of in-1 temational relations and public ad- j ministration as well as political sci- ! ence. Both undergraduates a n d graduates are eligible for membership.
•Membership,” Dr. Harley said, “depends greatly upon an mterest j in political science and that subjects related fields. A high scholastic standing is also essential.
“During the dinner which will follow the initiation,” Dr. Harley added, “we will hear several members of the faculty give short talks on the j fields of specific interest.
“This is not in line with our usual policy. In former times we always ; had an outside speaker ,but we thought that this idea might prove very interesting.”

Trovets offer aid in home problem
Veterans who are affected by the current housing shortage are being offered aid by Trovets and the American Veterans committee.
Trovets will start receiving applications next week for ex-servicemen who desire housing in this area. The applications in turn will be submitted to the American Veterans committee.
Although the policy of Trovets allows them to back paid members only, they will “continue to aid all veterans in every way possible,” according to Milton Buck, president.
Buck also stated that the AVC' has been getting results “and lt is our hope that we can at least partly alleviate the housing shortage for vets.”	•
Trovet members are reminded that all vets who want their pictures in El Rodeo must submit their names to the Trovet office no later than Monday. After that date no more names will be accepted.
Because the average Frenchman has always been thought of as an individualist who has little use for social planning, Dr. Rene Belle, associate professor of French, told the Cosmopolitan club yesterday that the switch to the left in the recent French elections needs some explaining.
“Although it sounds paradoxical,” he said, "like a world upside-down, the small French fanner can’t make a living and has voted socialistic in an attempt to preserve private property.”
Stating that the two most dominant parties in France, the Communist and the Christian Socialist, seem to be strange bedfellows, Dr. Belle gave definite reasons for their popularity with the French people.
The Corrimunists wrere by no means the only opposition to the Nazis during the occupation, he said, “but they wTere certainly the most dynamic group during that time,” and this constitutes one reason for their rise.
As far as the black market was concerned, he said, something had to be done about It after the
Germans were driven out and
“the Communists had very firm methods of dealing with it,” thus winning support from other sources.
Russia and its success against Germany was a third reason for increased Communist influence in France, he said.
He brought out tTie fact that De-Gaulle. an ardent and devote Cath-olic, has extended his hand and expressed the friendship of France for Russia.

before the Roanoke, Va., Rotary club, he said that the public clamor for faster demobilization “will endanger the victory so recently won” if it continues. In addition, he charged that it added to the nation's financial burden by leaving insufficient men at home and abroad to take care of vast excess property.
Royall and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, chief of staff, have been asked to appear before a specially-created senate subcommittee at their earliest convenience. The senate created the subcommittee today under the chairmanship of Sen. Edwin C. Johnson, D., Colo., in an effort to unscramble the muddle over
demobilization policy.
Royall said that an urge “to put the war behind us and demobilize quickly is threatening to impair the necessary services which must be rendered overseas.”
He asked leaders in American communities to assume the responsibility of ending “this hysteria” since it is not a job for military or congressional leaders.
But a citizen can not accept such responsibility in general and then make an exception in the case of a son. husband, or brother, he added.
“It is that philosophy of ’me and my son, John’ that’s flooding our congressmen with a deluge of criticism of demobilization in spite of the most remarkable record of ! orderly demobilization ever estab-i lished by the armed forces of any couniry and any war in the history of the world,” he said.
The senate subcommittee will ask Royall and Eisenhower for a full explanation of the army’s demobU-ization policy.
Silver artisan tells of craft
Recognized as one of the world's foremost silversmiths, Philip Paval lectured to students and visitors yesterday in Harris hall on the subject “The Crafts of the Silversmith.”
“My object in presenting this lecture,” said Paval, “is to acquaint young people with the many interesting features of this craft and to encourage them to take it up.”
He told his audience about the ancient guilds that were important in the founding of English sliver marking system. By learning to recognize the various town, maker, and date marks on each article, it is possible to locate the
town in which each piece is made, the name of the man who fashioned it, and the date of its creation. In England, he continued, all marks are registered by the government.
Paval related the history of the Aesterlings, a tribe of nomads on the European continent, and how j

“Naval trainees will be allowed special liberty until 1:30 a.m. Everyone can come early and stay late,” stated Wight.
The five veterans that will get a date with the queen and her attendants will be selected from 10, who were screened from the many that wrote in letters stating why they would like to go out with the queen.
Perpetual trophies for the queen and her attendants have been donated by Vince’s, Silverwoods, the Wagon Wheel, the Wooden Horse, and Jack's Barber shop. The women also have permanent possession of the individual trophies presented by the same firms. The Amos Carr studio will take pictures of the five winners and these will be displayed in the Student Union along with the trophies.
Another part of the Hello and Smile week is the awarding of $10 to the student whose hello is the heartiest and whose smile is the biggest. The winner will have the privilege of donating this money to the coming drive of the World Student Service fund. The gift will be recorded in the name of the person winning the award.
The five winners of the Hello and Smile week contest were Miss Hardey, a non-affiliated freshman; Dorothy Bogdonavic. Pi Phi: Norma Thalheimer, Alpha Gam; Virginia Lee Steitz, Alpha Chi; and Marge Houston, Delta Gamma.
