Paced with a term of student events and campaigns the ASSC slid smoothly through its first meeting last night as Bill Armbruster, ASSC president, announced the appointment of three chairmen to head coming campus drives.

Blank revealed that this university's quota in the drive to aid dis-I placed students in foreign countries will be $7500. Slogan for the campaign will be ‘ Help from a Student to a Student.” Blank said, reminding Trojans that the quota in the United States is $1,000,000.

Hoytt, Knight and Squires, pounding his sively while announcing the petition season for Squires, junior auxiliary of Trojan Knights.
The petitions, which may be obtained at the cashier’s desk in Student Union, will be available today and tomorrow. Each petition must be accompanied by a letter from the applicant, stating clearly his qualifications and why he wishes to be admitted to the group.
Both petitions and letter must be taken to the Trojan Knight office, 229 Student Union.
Applicants should have completed more than 30 units and less than 60 units, and maintained a 1.0 grade average.
Pounded in 1925, the organization is for sophomore men alone, providing an opportunity for men who are interested in activities and serving as a stepping stone to Trojan Knights. 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. Hill gives war heirlooms
Nationally observed Book week passes unheralded Nbiit not un-noticed this week at the university library, according to Christian R. Dick.
The rapid influx of students, the librarian explained, prevents the effort given to book exhibits of former years. 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. Barrie,” a Scribner edition; “The Collected Works of William Morris”; ‘ Historic Wall-Papers,” Nancy McClelland; ‘Harvard Dictionary of Music.” Willi Apel; “American Pharmacy,” Rufus A. Lyman.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
