Music faculty members give sonata concert
At a concert given in Hancock auditorium last night, Prof. Alice Ehlers and Prof. Anton Maaskoff gave a program which included Sonata in A major. Mozart; Sonata No. 5 in F minor, Bach; Sonata No.
1 in B minor, Bach; and Sonata in F major, Mozart.
Professor Ehlers and Professor \ Maaskoff also played the unedited versions of the Bach sonatas, as copied from the original manuscripts by Professor Ehlers at the state library of Berlin, where sh* studied before the war. She performed the original compositions for the first time before European concert audiences and also appeared on broadcasts of the BBC in London, with violinist Antonio Brosa.
Contained in the Bach compositions selected for the recital were four movements, with two featuring counterpoint melodies.
The F major sonata of Mozart was played in three movements, while the A major ensemble had two movements, and theme and variations.
Both Professor Ehlers and Professor Maaskoff are members of the faculty of the School of Music. Madame Ehlers is a harpsichordist, and Professor Maaskoff is a violinist.
According to Madame Ehlers, cer-Lin parts of the Mozart composi-s are remindful of his operas e Marriage of Figaro” and “Don Jiovanni.”
“The Bach sonatas are real chamber music,” commented Madame Ehlers, “because in these numbers the harpsichord and the violin have the same importance.” Next Monday Yves Tinayre, bari-Itonc, will combine with the summer (Isession chorus and orchestra, con-I ducted by Dr. Max T. Krone, to present a program of 15th-17th century songs.
SC traffic campaign goes into second day
In an effort to enforce city traffic ordinances on the SC campus, Trojan Knights move into the second day of their campaign to improve traffic conditions at Troy today with further warnings to students who violate parking regulations —	and speed limits.
Troy to reap spring sowings
Release of spring term grades will be made at the end of this week or early next week, announced Howard Patmore, university registrar, yesterday. Grade ships will be issued from windows in the arcade of the Administration building or from the registrar’s office, he stated, and those students who do not pick up their grades will receive them by mail.
Baker to view Puritan' book
“Puritanism and Democracy,” an attempt to chart a course between the present and the past, will be reviewed again by popular demand tomorrow at 3:15 p.m. in the art and lecture room of Doheny library. Alonzo Baker, teaching assistant in political science, will discuss the book written by Ralph Barton Perry, in the third interpretation of the summer term.
The two great influences in
America, according to Perry, are 17th century puritanism and 18th century democracy.
“Complicated by the presence of many ne^ students on campus who are repeatedly violating traffic regulations, conditions on campus are becoming intolerable,” stated Ed Lowther, chairman of the campaign for the Trojan Knights. “These rules are not stringent and simply follow those prescribed by the Los Angeles police department for safety.”
Those students who violate the parking code will find their cars marked with special tags detailing the name, license number, owner, location, and type of offense. Duplicates of these tags will be kept for each offender, and those who consistently violate city ordinances on the campus will be called before the men’s council or the women’s judicial court for penalization, Lowther warned.
Request for better supervision of campus traffic violations came from the Los Angeles police department, to aid in preventing and eliminating traffic accidents, stated Bill Camm, president of the Knights, junior-(Continued on Page Four)

our democracy stem from both these sources. Both have proven to be advantages on one hand and hindrances on the other,” stated Mr. Baker in discussing the book.
One of the main purposes of this volume is to plan for a new America, using the analysis of the thought of the past centuries as a basis for future charting, he continued.
“What is Americanism? Is the United States merely one among a number of great powers or has she a special character, a specific genius of her own?” These are among the questions which the author attempts to answer.
“The author deals with the realizations of the importance of the American way of life. He tries to show the advantages and the disadvantages of past mistakes and how they are able to influence (Continued on Page Three)
asked that all Trojan men with a 1.0 grade average and a minimum of 30 units try out for the position.
The senate was asked by Bill Armbruster, ASSC president, to convene in Bovard at the same time as the tryouts to verify the appointment of the assistant.
When chosen he will take office immediately to begin preparations for the first football game to be held Sept. 20 with UCLA at the Coliseum.
Jerry Hoyt was chosen at the last regular election. The new assistant and Hoyt will assist Nelson.
“Anyone suffering from introversion or neurasthenia need not apply, because a man with ability to spread the Trojan spirit to the student body at the games is desired.” That is the opinion of Nelson concerning the type of person needed for the post.

Newman club to occupy new headquarters
Sending the crushing air-sea preinvasion bombardment of a 950-mile stretch of Japan from northern Hokkaido to southern Honshu into its third week, Halsey’s planes launched their attacks at dawn “in great strength” and continued winging over the Kure area throughout the day, Adm. * Chester W. Nimitz announced.
The sixth carrier strike in 15 days on the quaking enemy homeland, followed a similar assault last Wednesday against the great Yokosuka naval base and the Tokyo area in which the battleship Nagato, one of Japan’s few remaining capital ships, was heavily damaged and possibly sunk by American aerial bombs.
The Nagato is one of four remaining Japanese battleships, although two of the Ise class have been converted into combination carrier-battleships.
At the same time, Nimitz also disclosed that other Pacific fleet light warships had steamed up to the China coast of Chekiang province Sunday to sink or damage several Japanese ships in the east China sea, while far to the north other light units of the north Pacific fleet bombarded Japanese installations on Paramushiro, in the Kurile islands. Tokyo said seven American vessels participated in the latter bombardment which started at 7:15 a.m. (Japanese time) and lasted nearly an hour.	•
Fleet dispatches said the Paramushiro bombardment was made without enemy opposition and the attack force was commanded by Rear Adm. John H. Brown. Washington. Before opening the bombardment, the force had steamed through the Kuriles into the sea of Okhotsk seeking Japanese shipping but did not encounter any. Five Japanese planes made a half-hearted attempt to attack the force but ran away when the American warship guns opened fire.
“Just a little place that we can call our own,” is the theme song of Newman club members these days, as the SC club for Catholic students makes .plans for moving into its new clubhouse on 35th place.

The house was a gift of Archbishop John J. Cantwell to be used to promote a better social and cultural fellowship among Catholic students on the Trojan campus.
“Although the house is not yet completely furnished all Catholic and other interested students are invited to use its facilities,” commented Jane Schillinger, vice-president of the Newman club.
The house is open from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. daily. Women working for activity points may sign up for any number of hours of work at the clubhouse. Nan Watson, executive secretary, is in charge of women working for activity points at the club.
