ope show to make first postwai ivilian appearance here tonight
Bob Hope. America’s leading comedian, brings his all star epsodent show to the SC student body in Bovard auditorium •t 7 p.m. tonight, marking the first civilian appearance of ihe broadcast since Sept., 1941.
"R^d" Skelton and Peggy Ryan will be the guest performers besides the regular cast of Jerry Colonna, Frances Langford, and Skinnav Ennis’ band. It is the regular Tuesday night Red network show heard every season since 1938.
In order to give all students a chance to obtain tickets for the program, j600 will be placed on disposal in front ef Bovard hall each hour starting at nine o’clock. They will be passed out by the Squires and each student must present an activity card which will be punched in order to get a ducat. Besides the 1800 for students, there will be 50 tickets available to the faculty upon proper identification at the cashier's office in the Student Union.
Tickets will be passed out on the basis of 600 to women, 600 to civilian men. and 600 to servicemen and veterans. This was at the request of Dick Davis, Hope’s manager. All ticket holders must be seated by 6:45. Doors open at 6:30.
Hope and the show have won world acclaim for their tstanding work in entertaining G.I.s from the far Pacific England. Miss Langford is called the “Sweetheart of the rvice” as she has sung her way into the hearts of servicemen every corner of the globe.
Hope has been in show business since his “teens” when he

comedy was his future. Up until then he had tried many careers including boxing, and newspaper reporting. He and a George Byrne formed a dance team and went on the circuit. They played in various shows at one time being in “Fatty” Arbuckle’s show.
An incident in Newcastle, Indiana, broke up the team, but they parted as friends. The manager of the house the show was playing asked Hope to make an announcement to the crowd on the coming week’s program. His line of ad libbing brought “down the bouse” so to speak, and he realized his future was in this direction.
After bit parts on Broadway for a few years he broke into the limelight as the star in “Roberta.” With this success under his belt, he decided that radio would best suit his talent and he first appeared as a guest on the Rudy Vallee show. Soon after, he had a chance to sign with the Pepsodent company and he has starred on his own show ever since.
Jerry Colonna, whose real name is Jerard Colonna, joined the show soon after it went on the air. Before joining Hope he made a number of appearances on other radio shows including Fred Allen’s program. He played in orchestras for many years before becoming a comedian.
Frances has been the singer of the show every year tj* cept last season when she didn’t go overseas because of her own production. Besides her work on the radio show she has toured service hospitals all over the world and is currently writing a column called “Purple Heart Diary” for a leading news syndicate.
Skinnay Ennis likewise is a continual star from the start except for a year when he was in the service.
Hope’s latest movie now in production is “Monsieur Beau-caire” and a movie version of his latest book “I Never Left Home” if soon to be released.

Hadley to tell Latin politics
“American diplomacy must consider the highly personal side of politics in Latin America,” states Paul Hadley, visiting instructor in International Relations. Mr. Hadley will address the International Relations club today at 3:15 p.m. in 318 Student Union.

“The Good Neighbor Policy must be as inclusive as the term in ‘neighbor’ itself,” he emphasized. “It must have its diplomatic, its commercial and its political aspects, but it would appear that the informal personal phase as represented in the program of cultural exchange may in time become one of the most effective in the creation of a genuine community of interests and ideals.”

“Homecoming week will provide students with an extra opportunity to contact alumni for purchases,” added Miss Brumfield... “Winning the drive would also provide the sorority and fraternity with an extra honor,” she continued.

Dean to counsel first-year students
As the first in a series of conferences designed to provide educational counselling service for lower-division students, Dr. Albert S. Raubenheimer, executive dean of the university, announces a meeting on Thursday at 3:15 p.m. in 206 Administration building.
First year students are urged to attend the conference on Thursday, at which time Dean Raubenheimer will review and discuss the university’s requirements for the lower division and for upper division majors in specific fields.
Students who are in doubt as to the major field of their choice are particularly invited to attend the conference. Others who desire to secure information as to the nature of the programs offered by the various departments and schools of the university will find the meeting helpful, according to Dean Raubenheimer, who will also discuss lower division courses designed as prerequisites for majors.
The conference called for Thursday will begin promptly at 3:15 p.m. and will last one hour. At the end of the meeting there will be an opportunity for individual questions, and Dean Raubenheimer will introduce Mr. Paul E. Hadley of the
Department of International Relations, who will arrange for interviews with those first year students who desire individual advice.
Similar counselling conferences will be held during the ensuing weeks at different hours and on various days so that all lower division students will have an opportunity to prepare themselves intelligently for the second term registration in March. Conferences • for sophomores and for those who have indicated a special interest in particular fields will be announced later.

Dr. Searles to relate conditions for peace
If atomic energy is to be used in war no discussion of war and peace is worth the time and energy expended, is the conviction of Dr. Herbert L. Searles, professor of philosophy, who will address the philosophy forum in Bowne hall at 4:15 this afternoon.
In discussing his subject, “Social Conditions of Peace," Dr. Searles points out that our hope* for future peace lies in education and organization.
“It is my own simple and naive belief that the characters of individual men and women are the most important factor in the total situation of war and peace. The key to production of the right kind of persons, capable of living together In the hoped for international world of the future, lies in the children of the next few generations.”
“This, of course, providing that at the same time they are being educated in homes, schools, and churches in the ways of peace. Economic and political conditions, under such conditions, ^&n be improved so that it will be possible for a few generations of internationally minded young people to function both as leaders and foUowers in ..national and international society,” stated Dr. Searles.
In Dr. Searles’ opinion the (Continued on Page 4)
'Share the Trojan' now SC slogan
Those Trojans who ask in a gruff voice, “Where’s my Daily Trojan?” when they find the customary sheet missing in the Student Union after lunchtime have been asked by Roy L. French, director of the School of Journalism, to cooperate in its distribution.
There is a limited number of papers printed because of the nationwide shortage of newsprint. All large newspapers have been forced to cut the size of their issues. Mean-whUe, the D.T. has increased from six to eight columns and jumped from 3500 to 4500 copies a day to meet increased enrollment.
When possible, Trojans should share their paper with someone else after they have read it. Papers should never be taken and then thrown away without being utilized.
in the opinion of Jerry Hoytt, dance chairman, you have an irresistible combination.
Betty Allen and her decorating committee will do themselves proud. Hoytt says, and you may look for a festive haU decorated in a myriad of colors.
Coming down to the more mercenary details of the dance, Hoytt informs us that tickets to the dig are going like the proverbial hot cakes at the cashier’s window in the Student Union.
According to the dance chairman, the Hermosa Biltmore will offer all its facilities to Saturday’s revelers to ensure success of this, the windup affair for Homecoming week.
House decorations commemorating Homecoming week, up since noon yesterday, will be judged today at 3 p.m. by a committee including Miss Christy Fox, society editor for the Los Angeles Times; Carl Hancey, dean of men; Dr. Frank Baxter, English professor; and Mrs. Dick Webster, the former Lucy McLean, 1937 vice-president of ASSC.
Students on the judging committee are Ed Malin, returned veteran who won the Silver Star and Purple Heart as a first lieutenant in the 1st armored division, and Ruth Holley, president of YWCA. *
Tonight at 6:30, the College of Engineering will host a banquet in the foyer of Town and Gown with students, alumni, fathers, and mothers in attendance. President Rufus B. von KleinSmid will welcome guests, and Dr. Robert E. Vivian, dean of the College of Engineering will speak on the “Progress in Engineering at SC." Prof. Robert M. Fox, head of the department of civil engineering, who will soon retire, will talk briefly on his “Twenty-three Years at SC.”
Tomorrow evening at 6:30, the Alumni Homecoming banquet of Men’s Council is to be held at Scully’s restaurant on Crenshaw boulevard. Chemistry alumni will hold their banquet at Eaton's Ardmore at 7 p.m. And at 8 p.m. the School of Music Alumni association wiU present a program in Hancock auditorium.
Tiegs summons would-be airmen
Those persons interested in flying at Santa Maria under the auspices of the College of Aeronautics are called to an important meeting in 205 Physical Education at noon today, according to Ernest W. Tiegs, dean of University College.
Among topics to be discussed in today’s meeting will be transportation for students to and from Santa Maria, meteorological services to be offered by the U. S. Weather bureau, eating and sleeping accomodations at Santa Maria, and prices of flying lessons.
