Taxi day' to feature unique conveyances
“Want a ride in the surrey with the fringe on top?” are shouts soon to be heard from AWS representatives selling tickets for Taxi day, Nov. 28. Taxi day will be a feature attraction of SC’s first Homecoming week since
Pearl Harbor.
Artists with clever ideas are in demand for the occasion, with a trophy to be offered for the most original conveyance. Seating capacity must be considered, too, for the house turning in the most tickets will also be honored.
All gasoline rationing worries will be forgotten this year, according to Jeanne Crider, chairman, and the vehicles definitely will not have to be horsedrawn. University avenue will echo with shouts of *Taxi” between classes.
Booths selling tickets for Taxi day will bfe strategically located throughout the campus on Tuesday, November 19. Taxis will run up and down University avenue and deliver Trojans to their respective houses on the row at noon for lunch.
Climaxing this hilarious event, a parade of taxis will sputter down University avenue before the judges’ stand at 1 p.m. The decision of the judges will be announced in the D. T. the following day, and the house having the best taxi will receive a revolving trophy of a gold-covered wagon drawn by oxen.

prisoner enough! Keep the draft away from Riley's door!”
“Rally round Riley! No you can't draft our boy! Really Riley shouldn't! Sign a petition now! Are you with us! We’ll take it to Truman!”
Riley received his induction orders Monday afternoon, and unless the efforts of SC students to get his case to the attention of President Truman is successful, he will be leaving within eight days.
So the Greek portion of SC rallied around a bonfire on 28th street last night. The occasion was the more eventful because Riley is a non-Greek. He began his college education last July, and this term is his second at SC. The 20-year-old former prisoner is a student in the College of Commerce. During the impromptu speech last night in which Riley addressed the students protesting on his behalf, he made one dramatic declaration to which he received unanimous response—“I don't want to leave SC!” “We don’t want you to either!” the crowd shouted back.
Harvey Edwards, petition, manager and Owl club member, asked the students to keep on circulating the petitions begun Monday. The petitions are addressed to President

Troy shoppers worriedly wait gift arrivals
Do your Christmas shopping
early this year! This is the statement that is frequently heard at this time of year, and also frequently ignored. This year, how. evpr, the stores are crowded long before Christmas and merchandise is fast diminishing. This is not the case at the University Bookstore, the gift stock is yet to come in.
Students will be able to do their Christmas shopping right here on campus, when the gift stock arrives at the Student Bookstore. According to Dan MacNamara, director of the store, this stock is expected as early as next week, which will enable students not only to shop at their convenience, but also at an early date.
This is not the only opportunity offered by the gift department of the student store. There is a need for full-time workers in that department, and all those who are interested are asked to make application as soon as possible.
“This opportunity may prove of great interest to the wives of servicemen and veterans on campus, who have been looking for such a position,” stated MacNamara.

“The meeting will last about an hour,” continued Buck, “and any person who would like to attend is welcome.”
A campus survey of the specific housing needs of veterans will be started Nov. 26 by the Trovets, stated Marvin Niles, secretary of the organization. The survey will be conducted by questionaires to be filled out by all veterans on the campus.
It was decided at yesterday's Trovet meeting that hereafter discussions will be held on the first and third Mondays and the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month, announced Buck. The meetings will he held in Touchstone theater. Old College.

The original appeal Riley made to his draft board was turned down, in spite of nationwide publicity. 'Fulton Lewis Jr., noted radio commentator, asked his millions of listeners to protest to their congressmen. Still nothing was done. '
London’s influential Times even picked up the story about the SC
former war prisoner, and Londoners were quick to see the irony of the situation. One hundred and fifty papers in the United States reprinted the story two months ago when Riley first appealed his case.
The day of induction is drawing closer now for Herb Riley—eight days to be exact. Unless President Truman heeds the pleas of Troy's 8000 students Riley will be inducted.

El Rod asks for uniformity
“Get your formal portraits taken now for the El Rodeo.” Clarice Thurman, staff editor, announced, "as appointments close Dec. 31.”

Organizations are receiving self-explanatory^letters asking for space requests. Deadline for returning these letters is Dec. 10 for social organizations and Dec. 15 for professionals and honoraries.
Women students should wear simple black date dresses with plain hair styles and little jewelry for their portraits. Civilian men are asked to wear suits and ties. Trainees will wear dress uniforms and hats.

Dr. Long states war may come again
“In terms of probability, it is scarcely to be expected that permanent world peace is possible at the present time,” stated Dr. Wilbur Long, professor of philosophy, in his address to the philosophy forum in Bowne hall yesterday afternoon.
Speaking on “Philosophic Bases of Peace,” Dr. Long declared that war can be avoided and pushed forward, but eventually it will probably overtake the world again.
One ray of hope is to be found in Dr. Long’s statement that civilization is not likely to be wholly destroyed. The abundance of books, of education, and of widely disseminated tools of civilization probably guarantee the permanent vestige, at least, of high culture.
“Much will be destroyed,” said Dr. Long. “Large cities will cease to exist or go underground. With the development of atomic power and high speed of transportation, the great metropolis is no longer a necessity. Dispersion of factories as well as of life in general will solve the threat of the atom bomb.
“Eventually men may achieve such intellectual and
moral power that they can actually live together in peace without the loss of spiritual vitality. Meanwhile, our hope must be to postpone future wars as long as possible, and, indeed^our moral duty requires us to throw all available
energy into the struggle for world peace.
“The elusiveness of history is such that out of the horror of the promise of chaos, out of the superhuman striving of humanity, who knows but that man might actually achieve the unachieveable? Numerous events of the war just concluded suggest that when man is sufficiently bent to his problem, even the impossible is possible,” Dr. Long concluded.
Optimistic fatalism and fatalistic pessimism, libertarian optimism and libertarian pessimism were the two parts of contradictory views discussed concerning the question of man and his destiny on earth.
Dr. Long’s address was the second in the forum series. Four more lectures on the general subject of “The New Tasks of Peace,” are to be presented on successive Tuesdays.
The philosophy forum is the oldest forum on tne campus.
