Los Angeles, Friday, Sept. 14, 1945
Trojan-Bruin frosh to frolic
Unemployment discussion topic for veterans
“One of the best informed persons on the many great problems of the nation, Rev. E. Harris, editorial director of the Los Angeles Daily News, will be on hand Monday noon for the regular Trovet meeting to discuss the topic ‘Can We Legislate Full Employment?’ before an open mee^iug^o^, the ,Trovets.'' stated Frank Soares, president of the veterans’ organization.
Harris is considered one of the most skillful journalists to cover the San Francisco conference and is known throughout the country for tackling any problem impartially and boldly, said Soares.
Program Chairman MiH Buck stated that “we are very fortunate in being able to present such a distinguished and scholarly man.” Harris has been a member of the faculty of Los Angeles City College since 1929, and has served on the summer session staffs of UCLA and Duke university.
He served two years as an officer in the United States naval reserve. Since the ending of the World war II, he has turned most of his attention to ways of solving the problems of the nation, and especially the problem of full employment.
Buck said that Harris’ faith in the ability of democracy to solve its problems without a change in our ideals and form of government has won for him a wide audience.
Harris’ views on the unemployment problem were recently aired over a radio forum. He stated that “The American people want a full life. They propose to achieve that full life through the orderly processes of democracy. They believe it can be achieved without sacrifice of essential freedoms.
“The test we face in the days ahead is whether we can reach
a common ground on progressive postwar measures. Realistically, we shall have to accept the inevitability of continuing many controls over our economic fife. But realistically, also, we shall have to admit that there is no example of history to prove that a people cannot be prosperous and at the same time free—free to speak, to worship, to pursue their individual pro-social pleasures, and free from degrading intrusions on their private lives.” Soares stated that any student that is at all interested in the problem of unemployment should attend and .that “no student should feel that It is going to be a formal affair, because Harris is recommended especially to those organizations preferring informality and group participation, such as the Trovets."

DICK GILSON . . . awaits essays.
Essays to meet deadline today
Jobs-for-all bill stirs committee
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13._(U.E)_
A senate banking sub-committee today approved an amended but “unimpaired” version of the administration's jobs-for-all bill.
The 10-man committee voted unanimously to send the measure on to the full committee, but five opposition senators, led by Robert A. Taft, O., made it clear that they “reserved the right to offer amendments.”
Deadline for the essay contest on the topic “How Youth in the University of Today Can Prepare for the Practice of Democracy Tomorrow” sponsored by Phi Eta Sigma, men’s scholastic honorary fraternity, will be today, before 5 p.m., when the dean of men's office closes.
“There will be positively no extension of this deadline,” stated Dick Gilson, president of the organization.
At the outset of the contest Gil-son declared that the purpose of the contest was to stimulate original creative thought toward the responsibility of youth in the postwar world and show how the fulfillment of that responsibility may be realized by consideration of the values of college experiences.
“Essays may reflect current trends on campus thoughts, and material received to date has been very satisfactory,” stated Gilson.
The winner will be announced before the close of September, and the winning essay will be printed in the Daily Trojan with due credit to the author.
Students are requested to turn in all efforts expended toward this contest since they will be judged for original thought, personal experiences and personal views, rather than as a research paper.
Judging of the essays is conducted by a board of four faculty members, including one from the English department.
The following rules were set down to govern the contest:
All men and women undergraduates in the full summer term except members of Phi Eta Sigma are eligible to enter the contest. Manuscripts must be typed or neatly written in ink on one side of standard-sized, unlined paper.
Essays must be submitted no later than today to the dean of men’s office. 225 Student Union. The submitted entry must bear a fictitious name with the contestant’s actual name included in a sealed envelope with the entry.
Greeting the dancers will be a reception line consisting of honored guests of the unit. Capt. and Mrs. Shirley Cutler, Cmdr. and Mrs. G. E. Palmer. Lt. Cmdr. and Mrs. John D. Cashman. and other officers and their guests. Al Stone, president of Fighting Top; Harris Frank, vice-president and dance chairman, and Bert Hulls, battalion commander, will also be present in the receiving line.	t
The ring, an image of the navy class ring, will be constructed of flowers with blue flowers on top to represent the stone, and other varieties to form the eagle and crest on the sides.
Against a background of “Anchors Aweigh,” played by the band, 10 graduating seniors, 18 juniors, and their dates will participate in the ceremony.
Stan Meyers’ 11-piece band will furnish the music for the evening, and, according to Frank, It is one of the top local bands. Meyers, reportedly one of the handsomest band leaders to wave a baton, has previously played for several SC social functions including the Panhellenic dance at the Riviera Country club.
A special feature will be the dance for engaged couples only.
That the cadet has “arrived” and is about to become a first classman is the significance of the annual spring ceremony at Annapolis, stated Frank. It also means that the second classmen have successfully completed all of their courses and are to be promoted to the higher class.
He added that SC has not always been able to have the dance, especially for second classmen who are about to become seniors, because they have been operating under a wartime schedule of three terms a year.
Trovets to aid job seekers
In cooperation with the Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Trovets will present the first in a series of forums, "This May
be Your Future—The Rubber Industry,” next Wednesday at 2.15 p.m. in Harris hall, Frank Soares, Trovet president, announced yesterday.
“Prepared and designed to acquaint discharged servicemen with the employment , possibilities in southern California, this series will bring out the top ranking men in the leading industries of the Los Angeles area to discuss the opportunities that these various industries may offer to the returning serviceman,” explained E. Stanley Smith, chairman of the Junior Chamber veterans sub-committee.
For the first in the series, a symposium of the leading men in the rubber industry including G. R. McNeer, Pacific coast sales manager, U. S. Tire and Rubber company; F. E. Titus, Pacific division manager, B. F. Goodrich company; P. W. Drew, chief chemist, Goodyear Tire and Rubber company; C. L. Smith, factory manager, Firestone Rubber and Tire company; and T. K. Hill, president of the Kirkhill Rubber company will be heard.
Each of these executives will describe a particular phase of the industry and present its opportunities for careers as well as participating in the question and answer period which will follow their talks.
The entire program is geared to give ex-servicemen and those men still in uniform an opportunity to see what the future holds for them and how they can prepare themselves for positions in the manufacturing, merchandising, technical, executive, and sales branches of the industry.
All veterans and trainees on campus are invited to attend, Soares stated.
