SC band
to present dual bill
With- a program featuring both classical as well as music of a lighter vein, the summer session band, under the direction of Dr. Lucien Cailliet, will present a concert tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. The first half of the program will be devoted to classical numbers, and the second half will feature lighter selections of American composition.
The program will include the following numbers: “Strong in Thy Strength,” Bach-Cailliet; “Invocation of Alberich.” Wagner-Cailliet; “Contra Dance,” Beethoven; “Finale from Symphony in B Flat,” Fau-chet; and “Mardi Gras’’ from the Mississippi Suite by Grofe.
“Processional March,” Cailliet; “American Symphanette No. 2,” first movement, Gould; “Blue Danube Waltz.” Strauss; “Song of India/’ Ivorsakov-Bennett; “His Honor March,” Fillmore; “King Cotton,” Sousa; and “Fight On,” Sweet,
Dr. Cailliet has stated that the present summer session band is the best that the school has had yet. The band consists of 65 instruments and is well balanced and composed of good material, according to Dr. Cailliet. Because the band will be rehearsing for the coming footfball season, this concert will be the only one of the term presented by the Bummer session band.
In pre-war years, the Trojan band j gained a national reputation due to its performance at football games and other athletic events in which SC teams participated. The popularity of the band locally has no doubt been due to its appearances at rallies and special musical assemblies.
The band practices in the Cinema and Musical Activities building.

In a move to meet Japan’s desperate need for oil, now denied
her by the Allied blockade, the government ordered the munitions ministry to take over control of “a*1! phases of liquid fuel production,” according to another broadcast recorded by the FCC.

Senate sits, slurps, slumbers
Last night’s meeting may or may not have been an example of what the ASSC senate does, but if by chance it was . . . their duties are absolutely nil. Gathering in the chambers set aside for their executive sessions, the representatives of Trojan activities sat on their collective chairs and listened to (1) a report of the formation of the YWCA, (2) a recapitulation of the YWCA sponsored events, ,(3) an edifying synopsis of the College of Pharmacy affairs, and (4) a report of the Trojan Knight traffic committee drive.
Most important item on the senator’s list was the approval of Bill Stevenson as assistant yell leader on the recommendation of Terry Nelson, yell king, who reported that exactly three of the senate members showed up to judge the qualifications of the applicants last Wednesday.
Bill Camm seconded the motion to approve Stevenson as yell leader while Anita Norcop instigated it. Bill Camm was easily the star of the session.
Senators were told that complete plans for the term should be presented by each senate member at the next meeting. All the members were unanimous in their lack of excitement.
Second most important item on the agenda for the representatives was the introduction by Carroll Tex Abbott, of Ihe new president of the freshman class. Trudy O’Brien was introduced by Abbott as the woman who will handle the class under Abbott’s direction during the summer months. Abbott introduced her.
Oh, yes, the minutes of the previous meeting were unan-‘ imously approved.
Let us hope that something will happen by the next j meeting.

Big three heads end sessions
BERLIN, Aug. 2. — (U.P.) — President Truman, Premier Josef Stalin, and Prime Minister Clement Attlee ended their 16-day Big Three Berlin conference at 12:30 a.m. today after a final session of nearly 9V2 hours at which they agreed on a joint communique to be issued probably tomorrow, to be made public probably tonight at Washington, London, and Moscow and perhaps here also.
President Truman, reported to be happy over concessions he won for the United States, prepared to fly to Plymouth this morning to meet King George VI and sail for home late today in the cruiser Augusta to report to the American people in a broadcast speech.
It was believed the final communique, the only one issued since the opening communique July 17, would outline the Big Three position on the future of Europe but any agreements with Russia on the Pacific war would be kept secret.
That the Pacific war was discussed in full seemed certain beyond doubt. But Russia is neutral so far and it was believed that any developments affecting her relations with Japan would be revealed, to Japan and the rest of the world simultaneously, when the time for action came.
As the delegates ended the third Big Three conference—previous ones were held at Teheran and Yalta—it was disclosed at last that the meeting place was the Schloss Cecilienhof, a low timbered home on English manorhonse lines built between 1913 and 1917 for former Crown Prince Wilhelm. The villa lies on the Jungfera lake in the northern suburbs of Potsdam.
President Truman lives at the “Little White House,” a 30-room home made ready for him with furniture selected from Nazi loot

Searles sees trouble for education control
That there are powerful forces in a “struggle for the control of education,” was brought out by Dr. Herbert L. Searles, assistant professor of philosophy, as the view expressed by Dr. J. Paul Wiliams in his book “The New Education and Religion.”
This was the fourth in the summer series of book interpretations being held in the art and lecture room of the Doheny library.
Dr. Searles stated that included in the list of forces mentioned by the author as being in the struggle for education control were the army, the church, and the Association of Manufacturers. Dr. Searles, however, said that Dr. Wiliams wrote his book at the time when the issue in Europe was not yet settled and that today the struggle of which the author speaks is not so violent and urgent that we must do something.
“The purpose of Dr. Wiliams’ book is to reinterpret or to find the place of religion in our schools,” said Dr. Searles. He continued that in his definition of ' religion, the author gives it a very broad meaning and includes all that we know as culture.
“I think of religion as part of our Continued on Page Three)
