Coaches Bert LaBrucherie of UCLA and Jeff Cravath of the Cardinal

and Gold will feature the season's first rally, both mentors presenting short talks. Head yell leader Terry Nelson will begin the affair by leading the assembly in an assortment of old and new chants.
In urging a full attendance and. emphasizing the significance of Trojan rallies which have gained nation-wide recognition for their display of spirit and gaiety, Bill Armbruster, student body prexy, stated, “This is an all-U affair and all Trojans should take full advantage of the opportunity to get their lungs in shape for the coming season.”
Nelson announced there would be some new yells introduced and claimed there is just as much fun involved in learning as in shouting.
. The Mardi Gras dance next Saturday at Deauville Beach club. Santa Monica, promises to make a white house ball seem like a small time affair, judging from the number of notables that will be in attendance.
Heading the list of notables will be Tirebiter, General “Skinny” Wainwright, Emperor Hirohito, and President Truman. Jerry Hoytt, chairman of the dance, stated that there' is a slight possibility that the above personalities might not be able to attend, but that most of the student leaders have made the event a “must.”
Hoytt outlined briefly what students attending the semi-formal dance will receive in return for their $3.60, tax included. First of all, there will be dancing from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. to Will Osborne’s nationally known orchestra. Osborne has the distinction of having played for more college proms than any other band leader. He has also played in many night clubs, hotels, and movies.
Secondly, the affair will present an opportunity to get acquainted with SC’s student leaders. These leaders have been made known to the student body through the columns of the D.T., but here is the opportunity to find out what they look like in person.
Such personalities as Bill Armbruster, Jackie Boice, Ed Vickupitz, Maurice Gould, Betsy Owens, Ray Carpenter, Betty Lee Aldrich, Milton Buck, Frank Soares, Don Blank, Bill Camm and many others, including the whole football team will be there.
The third “revenue” that will be derived from the money spent for the dance, continued Hoytt, is the chance to win one of the prizes that will be raffled during the evening. Dancing on one of the smoothest floors in southern California will be another of the pleasures to be enjoyed.
Bill Camm, president of the Trojan Knights, organization sponsoring the Mardi Gras, stated that the event will be one of the best planned functions of the year (Continued on Page Four)

TOKYO, Sept. 18.—(U.P.)—Japanese Premier Prince Na-ruhiko Higashikuni, joining the Allied hunt for Japanese war criminals, declared today that Japan will investigate her own sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and punish war criminals herself if any can be found.
He denied that either he or his cousin, Emperor Hirohito, were war criminals. Hirohito had been “deceived” by the militarists who planned Pearl Harbor, he declared.
Questioned by 50 correspondents at his first press conference for the American and Allied press, the premier outlined plans for a Japanese commission to investigate Japan’s war guilt, Pearl Harbor, and search out and punish Japanese soldiers who committed atrocities against Allied prisoners.
The No. 2 Japanese war criminal, Shigenori Togo, foreign minister at the time of Pearl Harbor, in a statement to the United Press, denied knowing anything about Pearl Harbor in advance. He insisted his “peace envoy” to Washington, Sa-buro Kuruso, also was in ignorance.
Higahsikuni declared in his two-hour conference that the secret plotting which led up to the attack had been a great “state secret” but he did not know if Hirohito had been informed beforehand of what was afoot.
He threw the entire blame on the militarists and Gen. Hideki Tojo’s cabinet, which he said decided the question of going to war. Hirohito could have vetoed war if he had known, he asserted, but even if he had known and didn’t, the responsibility still rested on the cabinet and imperial headquarters.
Protestants to hear unity lecture today
The Rev. Harland Hogue will lecture today on “Protestant Unity” at 5:30 p.m. in the YWCA house to the various Protestant clubs on campus when they meet in an effort to better understand each other’s beliefs.
All Trojans who are interested should sign up at the YWCA house today by noon or call Mrs. Grant, Richmond 1936.
The Rev. Mr. Hogue has been prominent in student religious activities at Pomona college, at Scripps, and at summer camps at Big Bear and Mar Casa. He graduated from the San Francisco seminary and traveled throughout Europe before the beginning of the war.
The student steering committee has chosen the Rev. Mr. Hogue to climax this series of meetings in which the Protestant clubs have discussed their various denominations and have sought greater tolerance for each others beliefs.
Eileen Frantz is chairman of the program which will be opened with singing led by Bob Jones, music leader for the evening.
Today marks the final meeting in a series of religious discussions held by the various Protestant groups on campus. Eric L. Titus, professor of the new testament in the Graduate School of Religion, led the previous meetings.
Members of the SC student
body will have a chance to express their views on the problem of student representation if they come to the all-university assembly today at 12:15 p.m. in Bovard auditorium.
Bill Armbruster, ASSC president, stated, “The problem of
representation which has attracted the attention of both the senate and the students within the past weeks should be brought before the student body as a whole, and in holding this all-university assembly we hope that this will be possible.”
The assembly, which will be in the pattern of a forum, will feature Anita Norcop and Terry Nelson, members of the senate.
Miss Norcop, representing freshman women's orientation, will explain the senate viewpoint in regard to the representation of women through the AWS. The question was introduced at the Trovet assembly last week and it is hoped that this assembly will further elucidate on the problem.
Nelson will conduct the second portion of the assembly when he will speak on the possibilities of a man’s organization set up on a pattern similar to that of the women’s AWS.
Armbruster will then open a discussion from the floor in which the audience will be welcome to express views on the subject.
“It is hoped that all Trojans will attend the special ASSC assembly which is of importance to the entire campus,” Armbruster said. “This is the opportunity for SC to participate in the problem of student representation.”
Serving on the committee of reorganization are Armbruster. chairman; Miss Norcop; Jackie Boice, ASSC vice-president; Don Gibbs, chairman of student council of religion, and Bill Camm, president of Trojan Knights.
In an informal poll conducted among students the consensus seemed to be that greater student participation in campus activities is not only desirable but should be mandatory.
Ray Wolochow, business major and athlete, opined. “What would college life be without student activities? As far as I'm concerned the social aspect of college life is almost as important as the educational side. Bath help the college student prepare himself for the future.”
All students and faculty members are urged to attend.

Morale corps signees asked
Additional signups for the hospital corps will be taken at noon today at a meeting in the Rea Cross house, according to Miriam Thompson, chairman of the enlistment drive. All coeds who are interested in joining the corps should be at the meeting which will be from 12 to 3 p.m.
Activities of the morale boosters include tours to nearby hospitals, Birmingham, Santa Ana, Sawtelle, and Long Beach naval hospital to cheer convalescing servicemen.
Other work of the corps, which is designed to aid servicemen, consists of making layettes for military families, working on afghan squares and diapers, the latter experience proving valuable in later life. Work is carried on at the chapter house every Tuesday and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
