‘Wars are symptomatic of the ! fact that we have not yet succeeded ! in solving deep-lying conflicts and j problems inherent in our culture * and civilization,” is the belief of Dr. i Herbert L. Searles. associate profes- ' sor of philosophy.
Dr. Searles will address the phil- | osophy forum in Bowne hall at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow on “Social Conditions I of Peace.”
“We must recognize from the outset that peace is not a static condition in which we can rest once the active phase of the conflict is ended,” declared Dr. Searles. ‘Teace is not as dynamic in the spectacular sense as war, it is true, but it is dynamic in another and important sense.”
It is during the periods of peace between wars when the tensions are accumulated, when conditions are developed in the social and political arenas which disturb the equilibrium. and for which correction and alleviation are sought through recourse to war.
“No discussion of the possibilities of peace today would be remotely relevant without reference to the epoch-making recent developments of atomic energy,” continued Dr. Searles. “It is a double-edged sword. If it is to be used in war, no discussion of war and peace is worth the time and en-i ergy expanded.”
“If it is harnessed for peace, for I the production of greater abundance for the world's needs, it will make many of our present theories regarding economic privilege, trade rivalries, scarcity of natural re-! sources, and ‘have’ and ‘have* not’
* nations entirely irrelevant. Since we do not know which use is to be made of this instrument of potential destruction or construction, we must do our thinking and develop our (Continued on Page 4)

Contestants will arrive on the field in some sort of taxi—jeep, jalopy, bus, buggy, milkwagon, or plain wreck. Frosh rooters will stand on the sidelines cheering their side to victory. Sophomore aides will blend their voices in rooting for their side.
Dick Henning, Sigma Nu and Squire, insists that there will be a bg.ll to be pushed around.
“The point is to make sure that you are not mistaken for the ball,” he stated.
Rope-pulling contests are awaiting those who feel that they might win a prize. A pie-eating contest will award the winners some surprize prizes.
El Rodeo photographers will be on hand snapping pictures of all events. Pictures taken at the brawl will be printed in the next issue of that humor magazine, the Wampus.
“We expect everyone to take part in this annual event, and Bovard field should resound with the fun-making,” stated Hawes.

-The life of Riley-
Ex-prisoner awaits word from Truman
After a quick four-day campaign to collect student body signatures on a petition addressed to the president of the United States, Herbert J. Riley Jr. and his friends have settled back to await either Riley’s induction Thursday or a final release from army life.
Clerk requested for locker room
An additional full-time equipment clerk is needed in the men's locker room in the gymnasium, according to William R. LaPorte, director of the physical education department. Any man interested in the position should report to Mr. Blue in the locker room today or any day this • week.
Sponsoring an Engineering Homecoming day for the first time since the war, the College of Engineering will hold open house from 4 to 6 p.m. tomorrow in the Engineering building, 920 West 36th place. During the afternoon demonstrations of the new laboratory equipment will be featured.
Following the open house, a banquet will be given in the Foyer of Town and Gown at 6:30 p.m. with students, alumni, fathers, mothers, and others interested in engineering invited.
Don Jackson, president of the College of Engineering, stated “I hop® all alumni of the College of Engineering will attend the homecoming, for I feel sure that they will enjoy it, especially since President Rut us B. von KleinSmid will be on hand to welcome them.”
The speaker of the evening will be Dr. Robert E. Vivian, dean of the College of Engineering, who will discuss “Progress in Engineering at SC.” Prof. Robert M. Fox, head of I the department of civil engineering, i who is retiring, will speak briefly | on “Twenty-three Years at SC.”
Assisted by his wife at the piano, Dr. Max Krone, assistant director of the School of Music, will lead community singing. A baritone solo will be rendered by Jerald Shepard, visiting instructor. Also on the music program will be (Continued on Page 4)
A final tabulation of signers on the 500 petitions circulated last week showed 5342 signatures, including 1502 veterans. This is 65 per cent of the total student body and 60 per cent of the veterans, according to Harvey Edwards, Owl club member and petition chairman.
These petitions were sent by air mail—Special delivery and registered mail Friday afternoon to the White House. Beforehand, however, a telegram notifying the president of the petitions’ arrival had already been sent.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank every Trojan who signed a petition,” said Riley. “Whether Jt will do any good or not is still a moot question, but if I do leave it will be with the feeling that—well, I’ve "just never seen so much goodwill.”
The 20-year-old SC student is a former prisoner of the Japanese, in the Santo Tomas Internment camp in the Philippines. Until the camp’s liberation last Feb. 4, Riley was held prisoner there along with his mother, father, and sister.
Another brother, Paul Riley, was a marine trainee on campus last term, and is al present awaiting a discharge. He served overseas in the marine corps for three years.
Jap government ordered to plan social insurance
TOKYO, Nov. 25.—(U.R) —The Japanese cabinet is hurrtedly preparing a widespread social insurance plan—a Japanese “Beveridge plan”—designed to prevent possible disturbances by war veterans when Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s directive terminating payment of discharge allowances or service pensions becomes effective Feb. 1, it was learned tonight.
Halting annual payment of billions of yen to military men of all ranks was one ol the points in MacArthur’s sweeping financial reforms directive issued yesterday to convince the Japanese that “war does not pay.” Under it, the government is directed to recapture by heavy taxation war profits extending back to 1930 and cease payment of war indemnities in another move to help distribute the wealth more equitably.

Town hears lecturers on conflict in China
Pros and cons of the present conflict in China will be discussed at the initial SC Town meeting to be held Wednesday noon in 101 Harris.
The three speakers to be heard are Quai Sahn Lee, graduate student in political science; Julia Hilts, major in-Asiatic
studies and a former Wave officer,
and Samuel Witczak, instructor in political science, who lived for six years in China.
Because a change in schedules prevented two of the speakers from appearing, the meeting was postponed from last week. Co-chairmen of the organization, Frances Griffin and Kay Mancusi, assure all interested that the discussion will definitely take place this week and urge all students and faculty members to attend this and other forums which are tentatively scheduled at regular intervals throughout the term.
The sponsor of these forums is Dr. Carlton Rodee, head of the political science department, and the American Town Meeting of the Air provides the basic plan utilized.
Founded on campus last spring by a group of students and faculty members, the SC town Meeting endeavors to promote discussion and debate on current affairs and other matters of civic significance.
Suggestions for future topics will be welcomed by the two chairmen, and should be turned in to either of them at the Daily Trojan office, fourth floor. Student Union.
The subsequent forums will probably be scheduled at intervals of two or three weeks for the remainder of the term.
Parking space decreases as Troy expands
Old grads attending Homecoming this week should be impressed by the expansion of SC. Both the number of students and the dimensions of the campus have considerably increased since the sunny, postwar days when they could walk with ease and freedom through the main door of Bridge hall.
And the campus area—every day instructors are receiving excuses from Trojans and Trojanes that the reason for their tardiness lies in the fact that they had to walk from the vicinity of Olympic and Vermont where they finally found a parking space for the family chariot.
It is hoped that the visitors will not have too much trouble finding space for their cars. If, after driving around campus for a considerable length of time without success, they will consult the owner of the nearest auto with mashed fenders, they will be directed to one of the many parking lots.
1800 tickets admit bonafide students
Bringing to the SC cam put one of the greatest radio programs of modem times, the Pepsodent show starring Bob Hope will be presented to the student body tomorrow night at 7 p.m. in Bovard auditorium.
The show will be the regular
Tuesday night program heard over the Blue network for many
years and will present Red Skelton and Peggy Ryan as featured guest performers. Included in the show will be the regular stars Hope, Jerry Colonna. Frances Langford, and Skinnav Ennis’ band.
The program will be held as all regular radio broadcasts with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and closing at 6:45 p.m. sharp. Tickets will be limited to 1800 and will be issued starting at 9 (i.m. tomorrow moning in front of Bovard. Only students presenting SC identification cards will be allowed to get tickets.
At the request of Hope's manager, Dick Davis, the tickets will be al-loted in the following manner: women will be given 600. civilian men 600. and veterans and servicemen will receive the remaining 600 ducats.
The program will be one of the outstanding highlights of Home-ctuning week and Is the first civilian show that Hope has presented since he and his company went on tour of service camps both overseas and in the United States in September, 1941.
Manager Davis stated that one of the reasons that SC will be honored with the show is for its outstanding work in educating some 2600 returned veterans who comprise one of the largest enrollments of its kind in the country.
The Hope show has been praised all over the globe as an outstanding contribution to keeping moral of the United States’ fighting men at the high pitch it maintained throughout the war. In touring from England to the Pacific, the members of the cast gave up their movie careers to entertain the men.
Hope has been called the best comedian in American history, and his all star cast is one of the finest in show business. At present in between radio shows, the company is making a film out of Hope's newest book “I Never Left Home.’’
Skelton has just been released from the army and this will be one of his first shows on return to civilian life. Peggy Ryan has presented many shows to servicemen and is one of America’s most popular new comedians.
Bill Chapman, student director helping with the program, announced that members of the Squires will be on hand to issue the tickets for the show and will see to it that all goes well in giving out the ducats.

Bonds and stamps will be sold on campus at a table in front of Bovard auditorium by Pat Lamb, bond and stamp chairman, and her assistants. Students and friends wishing to purchase bonds will be able to do so between 10 a.m. and 2 p.n*.
“No quota has been set. j Donna Knox, coordinator, feel that college students knefw t£ importance of buying bonds evek though the actual shooting is over. Perhaps we realize more than most people the cost of war and the price of victory.”
To receive credit, bonds do nc* have to be purchased at SC as l^ng a€» tfaevcr^dit sHp is submitted. They fnay be turned in to Miss Brumfield in the Daily Trojan office or left at the bond table.
Avery Gray, of the treasury de-

know that this final campaign woujd fa.'l through.”
“Los Angeles has met approximately 30 per cent of its E bond quota,” said Gray. “These are the bonds that students and their friends will buy,” he added. “Although this area will surpass its overall quota, we need those E series.”
Dormitory and sorority women will be contacted by Kay Mancusi, who urges that individuals do their best to promote spirit in buying within the houses. She suggested that quotas be set.
Ray Prochnow, fraternity chairman, will send leilers to each fraternal group asking participation in the drive. “As the men are
back in their houses now, we expect plenty of pep to be put into this,” Prochnow said.
Arrangements are being made io that students purchasing bonds on campus will be given a pass to a major studio .preview, said Miss Brumfield. The pass will give Trojans a choice of theaters to attend.
Merchandise orders will be given to the dormitory, sorority, and frat-| emity selling the greatest number of bonds. > “The Student Bookstore has given a $15 order, and we are planning on more,” said Paul Riley, prize chairman. The largest ortler will be given to the group with the greatest total.
“We all realize the importance of this campaign,” said Miss Brumfield. “It's not a charity drive, but an investment. We don’t need to beg for your money; for this reason we set no quota and have planned no assemblies or any extensive Pro-I gram.
