“Short, sweet, and quick” is the description tacked onto the double all-U assembly this noon by Buzz Forward, Knight president, in charge of the rally for the Oregon State game.
To accommodate all students the pep program will be presented twice; at 11 a.m. for the students who are victims
of noon classes, and again at 12 noon for Trojans unoccupied at that time.
The rally will start off on the more serious side with the introduction of the presidents of the different colleges, the class presidents, and the presidents of the campus honorary organizations. Various faculty members and some student representatives will also be presented to the assembly, but Bill Armbruster, ASSC president, stated that there would be no speeches except a few words to the women from Jackie Boice, ASSC vice-president.
“It is important that Trojans know their representatives and the various heads of the colleges,” declared Forward, “so we are taking a short portion of the rally to introduce these leaders to the student body. Short summaries of the duties of the various campus honoraries will also be given to acquaint the freshmen and new students with thees organizations.”
Troy’s band, now comprised of more than 100 members, will be a highlight of the program. Dressed in full uniform, members of the band will parade down the aisles of Bovard auditorium to the stage where they will play school songs to start the ball rolling for the rally portion of the meeting.
The yells of Terry Nelson, SC's yell king, and his assistants will also help to incite that old “school spirit” within the walls of Troy.
Coach Jeff Cravath and a few members of the football .team will be introduced to the assembly by Forward.

Intolerance causes war says Searles
“Tolerance will help eradicate the major causes of war,” stated Prof. Herbert L. Searles, professor of philosophy, in a preview of the speech he will deliver to the philosophy forum in Bowne hall on Tuesday.
“Intolerance is one of the major causes of war and there are educa-j tonal problems facing us which might improve this problem throughout the world,” Professor Searles said.
Professor Searles’ topic will be “Social Conditions of Peace.” He stated that he will interpret the word “social” broadly to include some of the political aspects of the problems of peace as well as the problems of economics, the resources of the world, education, racial tolerance, and culture.
The importance of social problems in a lasting peace is emphasized by the fact that the United Nations world organization has an economic and social council. This council has recognized the importance of developing better social conditions in the world at large, stated Professor Searles.
“The price of peace is that we be willing to pay for it in terms of improving the economic, racial, educational. and cultural conditions of the world,” Professor Searles said.

“In spite of the extent of the United States’ cultural efforts in Latin America, we still rank hehind the British in quantity and behind the French, Russians, and Argentines in many sectors,” he continued.
