Squires are present at all university functions and serve the school in every possible way. “Fraternity affiliation is not Important,” Hoytt pointed out. “Both fraternity men and men not affiliated with a fraternity will be considered carefully, since selection depends on previous activity and (or) a strong and obvious interest in leadership and service.” A thorough knowledge of the customs. history, and traditions of the university is also necessary. Personal interviews will be held next Tuesday, Nov. 20, at the Theta Xi house. Lt.

The library this year marks Book week by the acquisition of a varied collection of 55 World war I medals and a number of important recently published books. Lt. (jg) Boyd Hill, former SC student who donated the war decorations, received them as heirlooms. Each significant of a deed of singular merit or valor, the medals were awarded throughout Greece, Serbia, Estonia. Montenegro, Rumania, Poland, Russia, Belgium, Cuba, and the United States. Miss Dick pointed out as particularly outstanding in SC's Book week five new books which cover wide fields of education. These foremost works include “The Works of J. M.

JERRY HOYTT . wants "beavers' Marine guns guard landing on China point Nationalist forces hit communist peninsula CHUNGKING, Nov. H.-rdlE)— Chinese nationalist forces, protected by the guns of American marines, invf.ded the communist-held Shantung peninsula today. Their landings were being speeded in the hope of putting the entire nationalist eighth army ashore at Tsingtao, 280 miles southeast of Tientsin, several days ahead of schedule. More than 12000 marines of the sixth division commanded by Maj. Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd guarded the port as thousands upon thousands of Chinese troops, carrying American rifles, machine-guns, mortars, flame-throwers and bazookas marched from U. S. transports onto the Tsingtao piers. The Shantung peninsula, which juts out into the Yellow sea west of Korea, is a Chinese communist stronghold in northeast China. Communist troops control its entire coast and all its major ports with the exception of marine-held Tsingtao. The important Tsingtao-Tsinan railway across the base of the peninsula was opened to traffic last week and now is guarded by surrendered Japanese troops who have been permitted to keep their arms. Faculty member to address AKD Dr. Louis P. Thorpe, faculty member of the psychology department, will discuss “Changing Methods of Handling Personality Problems” at the regular autumn initiation dinner of Alpha Kappa Delta, sociology honorary society, tomorrow night at the Southwest Presbyterian church on Leighton. The society is celebrating its 25th anniversary and will welcome 13 new members into the society. It was founded by Dr. Emory S. Bogardus. dean of the Graduate School and director of the School of Research, and a group of graduate students on the campus. Interfraternity . . . Council will meet today at 12:30 p.m. in 323 Student Union, announced Matt Maxwell, seniority officer of the old group. All fraternity presidents are asked to attend as new officers will be chosen. Joe Hoit to handle grid feast Big rally will follow homecoming banquet Plans for this year’s annual Homecoming football banquet will be handled by Joe Holt, who yesterday was appointed student chairman of the annual men’s football dinner scheduled to be held on Friday, Nov. 30. The banquet, which has always been one of the outstanding features of Homecoming, will be at Town and Gown and will start at 6:30 p.m. Following the dinner, a huge student rally will be held in Bovard auditorium in preparation for the UCLA game the following day. Joe Holt is no new face on the Trojan campus having been at SC from winter of 1942 until Jan., 1945, except for a brief period when he was first called to active duty with the marines. He has been in many Trojan activities since his first days back in '42. First came an offer to join Sigma Phi Epsilon, and after a year of pledgeship he became active in the fraternity. He was elected to the Squires, sophomore men's service honorary organization, and left in 1943 when called to active duty. Holt was sent back to the university by the marine corps to continue his education as a trainee in 1943, and was elected to the Trojan Knights. Next came three semesters as president of his fraternity in 1943-44, and at the same time he was chosen president of the College of Commerce. He was elected to the Skull and Dagger, men's honorary organization in 1944 and in January, 1945 he was again called from the SC campus for further training with the marines. Holt was given a discharge from the service in October and is back in school as a senior, majoring in inaustrial management. This is his first position in Trojan activities since returning to SC. Junior class heads to meet There will be a meeting of the junior council today at 12:20 p.m. in 418 Student Union, according to Donald Black, president. Due to the large increase in enrollment, the council has been reorganized recently in an attempt to have a better representation of all junior students. Primary function of the council is to work out arrangements for all class activities, and to keep its class memb'ers informed on student body functions. Today’s discussion will concern the forthcoming junior prom. The following members are asked to attend and to be prompt: Betty Aldrich, Eleanor Asmussen, Terry Barker, Pat Barr, Margaret Bebek, Betty Bianchetto, Patti Blume, Tom Bunn, Phil Burton, Barbara Clifton, B. J. Conlan, Sheila Connoly, Joy Crane, Wayne Crawford, Betty Dunn, Carol Emerling.

Last call issued to join debaters All students interested in joining the Trojan debate squad are urged in a final plea to contact either Maurice Gould or coach Alan Nichols in 401 Student Union today. The tryout speeches will be given today, with the results to be announced tomorrow. According to Gould, inter-squad debate practice will begin next week in preparation for the first tournament appearance of the term on Dec. 7 and 8. YM drive to feature men s stag tonight Rose Bowl moviesf singing, refreshments to highlight campaign for 1500 membership quota; Premo urges new students’ attendance Climax of the YMCA’s week-long membership drive will be the stag party tonight from 6 to 8 in the house of the Student Union. Don Gibbs, chairman of the drive for 1500 new members, extends a sincere welcome to all men, especially new students and those interested in getting acquainted on campus, to attend the evening of fun. Highlighting the list of entertainment will be 45 minutes of action movies of former Trojan Rose Bowl games, while a JOE HOLT . . . real homecoming New vet center formed bv SC Another educational veterans’ advisement and guidance center for all former servicemen qualifying under the G.l. bill and the rehabilitation program was announced yesterday. Operated by SC and under the direction of Dr. Neil D. Warren and his staff of 20 psychologists, the center's mission will be to evaluate by a series of scientific tests the skills, interests, temperaments, and aptitudes of the ex-soldiers and sailors availing themselves of this service. Dr. Warren stated in this regard: “The veteran who is more apt with his hands will probably do best at some trade school offering specialized preparation in his field. Others, because of war injuries, may be required to change their vocations. Not all are qualified for college work, and it is the government's desire to help them from becoming round pegs in square holes.” The new center will be located at Jefferson and Hoover boulevard, and will accommodate as many as 250 veterans monthly. Applicants are first directed to the veterans administration headquarters at 1031 South Broadway before coming to the SC center. Winter sports to highlight big conference Lodge to be scene of religious meeting “Snowball fights may turn out to be the favorite pastime at the Big Bear conference of the religious | council this weekend, but we have a full schedule ranging from religious services to winter sports planned for all those who attend,” stated J. Randolph Sasnett, executive secretary of the council. “Interest in the conference has increased so steadily that the limit for attendance will probably be reached very soon,” said Mr. Sasnett. “Today is the deadline for signups, and the list on the bulletin board is increasing hourly. Students have been signing up in large groups, as well as individually.” Those interested in attending the conference may sign up outside the council office on the third floor of the Student Union. “The purpose of the conference is to plan the activities of the council for the remainder of the term,” stated Don Gibbs, president. “The interest In this year’s conference is of such high quality that our campus projects and activities should be very successful. The council is the arm of the student body and its aim is to make moral and spiritual values effective in student relationships.” The social commission, under Julia C | n ^ I A rtf a naare Millikan. is planning a full program Tinal date nearS of recreational and social activities. Earl G. Whitchurch, dean of the Graduate School of Religion, wUl j give the keynote address. Dr. Carl Hancey, Dean of Men, Helen Hall Moreland, Dean of Women, Dr. Floyd H. Ross, chairman of the faculty religious interest committee, Mrs. Ruth Grant, head of the YWCA, and ail of the student body officers, have (Continued on Page Four) few short speeches, community singing, and numerous cokes will add to the gala occasion. Skip Premo, president of the organization, enumerated activities planned for the coming term to include other stag affairs, the continuance of exchange dinners with the YW, and, weather permitting, a picnic scheduled for Dec. 8 or 9. A mountain retreat will also take place in the near future as well as an all-U dig to be sponsored jointly by the YM and YW. Premo added that one of the Y’s goals is to make school a little more than just “hitting the books,” and thus are urging everyone to participate with them in their various social functions and their development of fellowship and good will throughout the campus. “An old organization but comparatively new on the SC campus the YMCA is known the world over as one of the best and most versatile of young men's organizations,” stated Gibbs. “Leading educators accept the fact that such organizations have a definite place in colleges and universities. Having been formed for only two terms here at SC. we are hitting our stride now and this term will see us taking an active part in campus affairs.” Wayne Crawford, chairman of the ; program committee, advises all men interested in becoming members to join now so that they can get in on the ground floor. Applications for membership are available at the Y desk in the office of the relig’ous council, third floor Student Union, where pamphlets giving the background and currerft information about the organization will be found. for EL Rodeo pix All Trojans are once again re-i minded about having their pictures taken for the 1946 El Rodeo, Tro-1 jan annual yearbook. The deadline for making appointments is Dec. 31, and they may be made any time at the photographer’s studio across the street from the University library. Pearl Harbor fire flares in congress WASHINGTON. Nov. 14 — fU.P) — The bi-partisian Pearl Harbor dispute exploded on the house floor again today on the eve of the formal opening of the congressional inquiry into the Dec. 7, 1941 disaster. Rep. Frank B. Keefe, R., Wis., a member of the joint investigating committee, asserted his belief that certain interests “do not want the truth” brought out and Rep. John W. Murphy, D., Pa., another committeeman, protested against “trying the case in the newspapers.” Murphy had sat silent while Keefe delivered a lengthy reiteration of his charges that navy Capt. Alwin D. Kramer, of Miami, Fla., whom he called “the most Important witness in the inquiry,” had been put under strong pressure to "change” his testimony. When Keefe sat down Murphy told the house that Keefe and Rep. Bertrand W. Gearhart, R., Calif., who interviewed Kramer at Bethes-da, Md., naval hospital earlier t' week, had not advised Democre # • members of the committee about it. Russ book drive will begin Monday The Russian book drive at SC will begin Monday, and contributions of books are urgently requested. This drive is under the supervision of both the faculty and the Freshman ciub with Miss Dorothy Halmos of Hancock library and Mrs. Ruth Grant of the YWCA in charge respectively. Boxes for the books will be placed ' at the Student Union, Bridge hall. University library, and the Administration building, according to Dody Yale, drive chairman. Purpose of the drive is to help refurnish with English literary classics the Russian libraries destroyed during the war. Through the years the Americans and Russians have contributed to each other’s culture. “Today there is an awakened friendship between us. With the war over, we are occupied with the rebuilding of the shattered lives and homes, and helping to construct the i things men live by is as great a part of our future and as great a need as any,” said Miss Yale. The Russian War Relief is undertaking to supply 1,000,000 American and English literary classics to replace those stolen or destroyed by the Germans. The Nazis systematically looted Russian libraries and what they left went up in the flames of battle or In the cities fired by the Russians before the German advance. (Continued on Page Four) Jokesters daub Tommy Trojan with bluegold “Oooch, funnsies!” The little man pulled up his blue and gold bobby socks and proceeded to climb Tommy’s frame, a bucket of paint cunningly concealed in his tunic. (“Barefoot Boy,” copyright 1492.) No one would like to come right out and accuse anyone, but after lo these many years of friendly rivalry, during which time Tommy Trojan has been painted blue and gold almost annually, it could look bad for a certain school in ihe suburbs of SC. It’s not that anyone objects to the general idea. We can always pass it off as the expression of someone’s hidden personality. But who had to louse up the job with that green stripe? I

Operated by SC and under the direction of Dr. Neil D. Warren and his staff of 20 psychologists, the center's mission will be to evaluate by a series of scientific tests the skills, interests, temperaments, and aptitudes of the ex-soldiers and sailors availing themselves of this service. Dr. Warren stated in this regard: “The veteran who is more apt with his hands will probably do best at some trade school offering specialized preparation in his field. Others, because of war injuries, may be required to change their vocations. Not all are qualified for college work, and it is the government's desire to help them from becoming round pegs in square holes.” The new center will be located at Jefferson and Hoover boulevard, and will accommodate as many as 250 veterans monthly. Applicants are first directed to the veterans administration headquarters at 1031 South Broadway before coming to the SC center.

Frank B. Keefe, R., Wis., a member of the joint investigating committee, asserted his belief that certain interests “do not want the truth” brought out and Rep. John W. Murphy, D., Pa., another committeeman, protested against “trying the case in the newspapers.” Murphy had sat silent while Keefe delivered a lengthy reiteration of his charges that navy Capt. Alwin D. Kramer, of Miami, Fla., whom he called “the most Important witness in the inquiry,” had been put under strong pressure to "change” his testimony. When Keefe sat down Murphy told the house that Keefe and Rep. Bertrand W. Gearhart, R., Calif., who interviewed Kramer at Bethes-da, Md., naval hospital earlier t' week, had not advised Democre # • members of the committee about it.

The Russian War Relief is undertaking to supply 1,000,000 American and English literary classics to replace those stolen or destroyed by the Germans. The Nazis systematically looted Russian libraries and what they left went up in the flames of battle or In the cities fired by the Russians before the German advance.

(“Barefoot Boy,” copyright 1492.) No one would like to come right out and accuse anyone, but after lo these many years of friendly rivalry, during which time Tommy Trojan has been painted blue and gold almost annually, it could look bad for a certain school in ihe suburbs of SC.
