Among women especially. It is reported the strain ' of this self-enforced silence Is building up a force like that of an embryonic volcano. “This is unfortunate.” Harlow points out, “because our original intention was to feature surrealistic costumes in the hope that potential ■ neuroses, foreshadowed by repressed desires to kick over the traces in regard to conventional dress, would j be given a chance to dissipate themselves in the safe and sane atmosphere of a costume ball.” Despite this unforeseen trend of events, Harlow and his fellow workers intend that the ball will come off as scheduled. “Our only hope now,” Harlow points out. "is that Saturday will get here before some high-strung individual cracks under the strain. We certainly don’t want to be responsible for the formation of new neuroses. WTe just wrant to help get rid of a few old ones.” Meanwhile, Harlow and his cohorts continue to sell bids at $3 per couple in the lobby of Student Union.

Military Forces, War Outlawed; Emperor Reduced to Figurehead TOKYO, Mar. 6. — (U.P.) — Gen. Douglas MacArthur today approved for submission to the Japanese people a new democratic constitution which would outlaw war, reduce the emperor to the status of a ceremonial figurehead, and abolish Japan’s feudal governmental system. Japan would maintain no military forces. The proposed constitution drafted by Premier Kijuro Shidehara's Japanese cabinet and indirectly sponsored by Emperor Hirohito, was given MacArthur’s “full approval” as a ’‘new and enlightened” instrument placing sovereignty “squarely in the hands of the people.” The draft constitution would forever abolish Japan’s right to go to war, renounce the use of force in international disputes, and forbid maintenance of any armed forces. It would strip Hirohito of the vast powers under which he ruled wartime Japan, leaving him only “a symbol of the people’s unity” and “severing for all time the shackles of feudalism,” the supreme Allied commander said in his announcement. The powerful hereditary House of Peers would be replaced by a new House of Councilors, corresponding roughly to the United States senate, which, together with the lower chamber of the Diet, would be empowered to make laws without requiring the emperor’s approval. Executive power would be vested in the cabinet, which would be responsible to the Diet. The prime minister would be designated by the Diet instead of being named by the emperor as under the old constitution. In restricting the powers of the emperor—formerly treated as “sacred and Inviolable” and endowed with absolute sovereignty—the new constitution states: 1. “The emperor shall be a symbol of the state and of the unity of’ the people, deriving his position (Continued on Page 3) History j. . . 77-B1. 9 TTh, scheduled in 206 I Adm, is changed to Law 302, ac-I cording to Dr. Francis Bowman, professor. Edwards to Copyright Show for Composers; Webster, Chase, Rodriguez Added to Staff Song-writers will have their chance today as the first auditions of original music for the Varsity show are held at 2:30 p.m., 318 Student Union. Harvey Edwards, student director of the show, has insured the compositions of all students by having the show copyrighted. The first meeting of the writing staff was held yesterday. Additional scene sequences and musical routines were the topic of discussion. “As the whole show is based on the musical compositions, and as we want this show to be the talk of the town, we want the best of everything. It is imperative that everyone with original music numbers attend the meeting today. Wanted: Report immediately— Those desiring auditions of original musical compositions. Report to Student Union 318, at 2:30 p.m. Needed: Costume designers, arrangers, writers, copyists, composers, and lyric writers for the Varsity show. Edwards continued by backing up Adelson’s statement. “Right now the opening date of the show is far away but all music must be in very shortly in order to have the show absolutely completed for rehearsing. Dramatic and dancing talent have been reporting, but we can't begin full production of the show until the musical score is completed. Today is the first day and only day for auditions this week. There will be more auditions in the future, but let’s start the show off right by making today the day for a big turnout.” Several new announcements concerning staff members have just come out. Bob Webster and Jack Chase have been appointed as property chiefs. Jerry Bense, set design director, will be assisted by Hector Rodriguez, who will help with both design and construction. Named for the production staff are Mae Louise Moore and Pauline Lauson. Tex Abbott, publicity chairman, announced his staff assistants as Mary Mohlengraft and Sandy Sapin. Miss Mohlengraft is a high freshman and a journalism major. She is attending SC on a journalism scholarship. HARVEY EDWARDS . . . showman Chem Croup Sets Meeting The first meeting of the term of the Chemistry club will be held tomorrow according to President James Spaulding. Place of the meeting will be 157 Science building at 12:30. New members will be received and all chemical engineering and chemistry students are urged to attend in order that they may become acquainted with the group. The purpose of the organization, according to Spaulding, is to provide personal contact with the field of chemistry by means of field trips and lectures by leading figures in the industry. Students in this field attending SC for the first time are advised that the organization will be a great help to them in becoming acquainted with the members of the department as well as with fellow students. Co-op Requests More Members The Student Cooperative, operative on this campus since 1937, is extending an invitation to students to join. With its headquarters in the University Methodist church, the Cooperative is conducted under the Rochdale Cooperative principle. Members may obtain a noon meal for a small price by working at the Cooperative during a free period each week. Aid to Sororities Offered by East Barbara East, sorority news sleuth for the University News bureau, announced yesterday that a meeting of all sorority publicity chairmen will be held at noon today in 210 Student Union. “Purpose of this meeting,” Miss East explained, “is to give publicity chairmen a better understanding of the services available to them from the University News Bureau.” Though the meeting will be short, Miss East believes that attendance will be of value to those responsible for handling publicity details for sororities on campus. Peron Given Big Plurality BUENOS AIRES, March 6.—(U.R) —Col. Juan D. Peron, already with a lead of 65.000 popular votes, tonight was steadily lengthening his lead over democratic candidate Dr. Jose P. Tamborini in the Argentine presidential election. About 20 per cent of the total vote tabulated so far showed a definite trend toward Peron, the nationalist candidate and Argentina’s “strong man.” Peron was proving to be one of the best vote-getters in Argentina’s history, equaled only by Hipolito Irogoyen who was elected president in 1928. President Criticizes Violence Church Aid Asked In Battle Against Greed, Intolerance COLUMBUS, O., Mar. 6.— (U.P.)—President Truman today attacked “the rule of force” in other world governments. He asked for church support in a battle against greed, selfishness, an intolerance which he said were gnawing at “our relations abroad” and at our economy at home. Mr. Truman spoke to a special postwar problem meeting of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, then hurried back to Washington by plane in the early afternoon to attend to urgent business. There were some parts of the President’s solemn address which were regarded as a followup to the frank challenge of Russian motives made yesterday by Winston Churchill, former British prime minister, at Pulton, Mo. “Dictatorship,” the president said, “by whatever name, iscound-ed on the doctrine that the individual amounts to nothing; that the state is the only thing that counts; and that men and women and children were put on earth solely for the purpose of serving the state.” So urgent was Mr. Truman’s business in Washington that he left behind at Columbus his guest of three days, Churchill. Britain’s wartime leader was to return to Washington aboard the president’s special train. Churchill, meantime, was carefully weighing reaction to his Fulton speech which he regarded as one of the most important of his career. Churchill took no part in the ceremonies here today, but remained aboard the president’s private car on a railroad siding. While here, the president met briefly with former Ohio Governor John W. Bricker. He was Mr. Truman’s 1944 opponent as vice-presidential Republican candidate. Mr. Truman's speech was to a nationwide radio audience and a visual audience of churchmen representing two million protestants. He drew his greatest applause when he pledged this country to defend the United Nations charter. “And we are confident,” the president added, “that all other (Continued on Page 3) UNO Institute Opens Third Annual Confab, Harley Heads Group SC Faculty Members Scheduled to Address Membership at Friday, Saturday Meetings Under the chairmanship of Dr. J. Eugene Harley, professor of political science at SC, the third annual Institute on the United Nations and Problems of the Pacific will convene this evening at 6:30 p.m. in a dinner meeting at the Hotel Clark. Addressing the group at tonight’s gathering will be Clark M. Eichelberger, director of the American Association of the adsen Meets Mann homas Mann Calls for World Humanism by Ruth Madsen “The only foundation for world government is a new anism, a humanism deepened by a religious feeling for mystery of man.” Dr. Thomas Mann, greatest living German author, stress-,he foregoing statement recently in an exclusive interview iis Pacific Palisades home. ‘The hope for the future is that slowly a sort of new anism is developing—not, however, to be equated with of the 19th century, for it is less rational and more de-iding. “Through humanitarian feeling a new moral authority binding belief could be built up to save humanity.” Sitting at tea with Dr. and Mrs. Mann, one is immediately ressed by the humanness and friendliness exhibited by and by the sincerity with which they speak. Further iration is added by the comfortable home, built by the ins in 1942, which affords an extensive view of the sur-ding hills and the ocean. Thomas Mann left Germany early in 1933 to make a lec-tour through various European cities and was out of the try when Hitler assumed power. He lived in Switzerland 1933 to 1938 and made a series of trips to the United beginning in 1934. In 1936 he received an honorary from Harvard. . Mann established residence in America in 1938 when me a lecturer at Princeton university. The outbreak forced him to make a hasty return from Stockholm a, summer trip through Switzerland, England, Holland, THOMAS MANN and Sweden. He lectured at Princeton in 1939 to 1940, but in 1941 he moved to Los Angeles where he received his American citizenship in 1944. Winner of the Nobel prize for literature in 1929, the writer is currently working on a modern novel about a fictional composer. Some of, his better-known works include “The Magic Mountain,” “Buddenbrooks,’ and the Joseph tetralogy, the last of which, “Joseph the Provider,” was completed in California. With regard to the new humanism, Dr. Mann believes that the ultimate goal for mankind should be not to require one spiritual center and one source of authority for the world. We must create a spiritual substitute on a plane higher than that of the old dogmatic beliefs. “Churches of all denominations, especially in America, show an inclination for unification and solidarity. The cooperation between church leaders and the fact that most church leaders are also social leaders is hopeful.” During the course of the conversation Dr. Mann was emphatic in stressing the importance of the role to be played by the United States in shaping the future of the world. “The inner development of American social and political power is very significant. We must realize the necessities of this great historical moment and be obedient and the situation will improve.” Dr. Mann contends that the development of political and social power in America is more important than the parallel development in Russia. “Russia should become more demo- (Oontinued on Page 4) Advice, Aid Ends Friday With approximately 2500 handbooks already distributed to incoming students, the Trojan Knights counseling service is slated to end Friday at 3 p.m. Offering a variety of assistance and advice to newcomers on the SC campus, the service, under the direction of Oakie King, has been instrumental in answering students’ questions about the university. “We've been answering all sorts of questions,” said King. “In fact, one student even asked us the phone number of one of the womens’ dorms. We gave it to him.” A limited number of the “frosh bibles” are still available, according to Knights in charge of distributing the free handbooks. They contain information of all kinds relating to campus activities and traditions and will be available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in front of the Student Union today and tomorrow. Red Cross Drive Begins March 18 “Reserve a mattress, sock, or pig-gy-bank for your contribution to the campus Red Cross drive,” plead Dorsey Payne and Gordon Persons, co-chairmen of the forthcoming Trojan campaign for donations. The drive will begin March 18 and run until March 22. With a higher quota to meet this year, students are asked to save money to contribute through SC. Trojans should give generously to the Red Cross, commented Ginny Lee Steitz, chairman of the campus chapter. HAL CRAIG . . distributor New Directory Due Out Today Featuring phone numbers and addresses of Greek organizations, dormitories, and navy barracks, the 1946 edition of the Knight's Residence directory comes out for distribution at noon today. A courtesy of the Trojan Knights, the listings are compiled as a means for obtaining reference at a minimum of effort and will be posted at convenient locations throughout the university. Revised to meet increasing attendance, largely due to veteran enrollments, the publication contains a section with veteran centers listed. Also added to the directory are addresses of new houses purchased by Greek organizations since the last edition. Starting at noon, members of the Knights, under the leadership of Carl Gebhart, will cover all sections of the campus.

Aiding Gebhart in the distribution of the directories will be Hal Craig and Tom Cosgrove covering the dorms, sororities, fraternities, and professionals: Bud Fisher and Chuck Brohammer, taking the dean's offices and veterans’ centers; and Gordon Persons and Wayne Crawford, handling the telephone booths and navy barracks. Originated in 1945 as a benefit to the university, the directory has undergone two revisions in order to keep up to date.

Military Forces, War Outlawed; Emperor Reduced to Figurehead TOKYO, Mar. 6. — (U.P.) — Gen. Douglas MacArthur today approved for submission to the Japanese people a new democratic constitution which would outlaw war, reduce the emperor to the status of a ceremonial figurehead, and abolish Japan’s feudal governmental system. Japan would maintain no military forces. The proposed constitution drafted by Premier Kijuro Shidehara's Japanese cabinet and indirectly sponsored by Emperor Hirohito, was given MacArthur’s “full approval” as a ’‘new and enlightened” instrument placing sovereignty “squarely in the hands of the people.” The draft constitution would forever abolish Japan’s right to go to war, renounce the use of force in international disputes, and forbid maintenance of any armed forces. It would strip Hirohito of the vast powers under which he ruled wartime Japan, leaving him only “a symbol of the people’s unity” and “severing for all time the shackles of feudalism,” the supreme Allied commander said in his announcement. The powerful hereditary House of Peers would be replaced by a new House of Councilors, corresponding roughly to the United States senate, which, together with the lower chamber of the Diet, would be empowered to make laws without requiring the emperor’s approval. Executive power would be vested in the cabinet, which would be responsible to the Diet. The prime minister would be designated by the Diet instead of being named by the emperor as under the old constitution. In restricting the powers of the emperor—formerly treated as “sacred and Inviolable” and endowed with absolute sovereignty—the new constitution states: 1. “The emperor shall be a symbol of the state and of the unity of’ the people, deriving his position (Continued on Page 3) History j. . . 77-B1. 9 TTh, scheduled in 206 I Adm, is changed to Law 302, ac-I cording to Dr. Francis Bowman, professor.

Harvey Edwards, student director of the show, has insured the compositions of all students by having the show copyrighted. The first meeting of the writing staff was held yesterday. Additional scene sequences and musical routines were the topic of discussion. “As the whole show is based on the musical compositions, and as we want this show to be the talk of the town, we want the best of everything. It is imperative that everyone with original music numbers attend the meeting today. Wanted: Report immediately— Those desiring auditions of original musical compositions. Report to Student Union 318, at 2:30 p.m. Needed: Costume designers, arrangers, writers, copyists, composers, and lyric writers for the Varsity show. Edwards continued by backing up Adelson’s statement. “Right now the opening date of the show is far away but all music must be in very shortly in order to have the show absolutely completed for rehearsing. Dramatic and dancing talent have been reporting, but we can't begin full production of the show until the musical score is completed. Today is the first day and only day for auditions this week. There will be more auditions in the future, but let’s start the show off right by making today the day for a big turnout.” Several new announcements concerning staff members have just come out. Bob Webster and Jack Chase have been appointed as property chiefs. Jerry Bense, set design director, will be assisted by Hector Rodriguez, who will help with both design and construction. Named for the production staff are Mae Louise Moore and Pauline Lauson. Tex Abbott, publicity chairman, announced his staff assistants as Mary Mohlengraft and Sandy Sapin.

Place of the meeting will be 157 Science building at 12:30. New members will be received and all chemical engineering and chemistry students are urged to attend in order that they may become acquainted with the group. The purpose of the organization, according to Spaulding, is to provide personal contact with the field of chemistry by means of field trips and lectures by leading figures in the industry. Students in this field attending SC for the first time are advised that the organization will be a great help to them in becoming acquainted with the members of the department as well as with fellow students. Co-op Requests More Members The Student Cooperative, operative on this campus since 1937, is extending an invitation to students to join. With its headquarters in the University Methodist church, the Cooperative is conducted under the Rochdale Cooperative principle. Members may obtain a noon meal for a small price by working at the Cooperative during a free period each week. Aid to Sororities Offered by East Barbara East, sorority news sleuth for the University News bureau, announced yesterday that a meeting of all sorority publicity chairmen will be held at noon today in 210 Student Union. “Purpose of this meeting,” Miss East explained, “is to give publicity chairmen a better understanding of the services available to them from the University News Bureau.” Though the meeting will be short, Miss East believes that attendance will be of value to those responsible for handling publicity details for sororities on campus. Peron Given Big Plurality BUENOS AIRES, March 6.—(U.R) —Col. Juan D. Peron, already with a lead of 65.000 popular votes, tonight was steadily lengthening his lead over democratic candidate Dr. Jose P. Tamborini in the Argentine presidential election. About 20 per cent of the total vote tabulated so far showed a definite trend toward Peron, the nationalist candidate and Argentina’s “strong man.” Peron was proving to be one of the best vote-getters in Argentina’s history, equaled only by Hipolito Irogoyen who was elected president in 1928. President Criticizes Violence Church Aid Asked In Battle Against Greed, Intolerance COLUMBUS, O., Mar. 6.— (U.P.)—President Truman today attacked “the rule of force” in other world governments. He asked for church support in a battle against greed, selfishness, an intolerance which he said were gnawing at “our relations abroad” and at our economy at home. Mr. Truman spoke to a special postwar problem meeting of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, then hurried back to Washington by plane in the early afternoon to attend to urgent business. There were some parts of the President’s solemn address which were regarded as a followup to the frank challenge of Russian motives made yesterday by Winston Churchill, former British prime minister, at Pulton, Mo. “Dictatorship,” the president said, “by whatever name, iscound-ed on the doctrine that the individual amounts to nothing; that the state is the only thing that counts; and that men and women and children were put on earth solely for the purpose of serving the state.” So urgent was Mr. Truman’s business in Washington that he left behind at Columbus his guest of three days, Churchill. Britain’s wartime leader was to return to Washington aboard the president’s special train. Churchill, meantime, was carefully weighing reaction to his Fulton speech which he regarded as one of the most important of his career. Churchill took no part in the ceremonies here today, but remained aboard the president’s private car on a railroad siding. While here, the president met briefly with former Ohio Governor John W.

Further iration is added by the comfortable home, built by the ins in 1942, which affords an extensive view of the sur-ding hills and the ocean. Thomas Mann left Germany early in 1933 to make a lec-tour through various European cities and was out of the try when Hitler assumed power. He lived in Switzerland 1933 to 1938 and made a series of trips to the United beginning in 1934. In 1936 he received an honorary from Harvard. .

Some of, his better-known works include “The Magic Mountain,” “Buddenbrooks,’ and the Joseph tetralogy, the last of which, “Joseph the Provider,” was completed in California. With regard to the new humanism, Dr. Mann believes that the ultimate goal for mankind should be not to require one spiritual center and one source of authority for the world. We must create a spiritual substitute on a plane higher than that of the old dogmatic beliefs. “Churches of all denominations, especially in America, show an inclination for unification and solidarity. The cooperation between church leaders and the fact that most church leaders are also social leaders is hopeful.” During the course of the conversation Dr. Mann was emphatic in stressing the importance of the role to be played by the United States in shaping the future of the world. “The inner development of American social and political power is very significant. We must realize the necessities of this great historical moment and be obedient and the situation will improve.” Dr. Mann contends that the development of political and social power in America is more important than the parallel development in Russia. “Russia should become more demo- (Oontinued on Page 4) Advice, Aid Ends Friday With approximately 2500 handbooks already distributed to incoming students, the Trojan Knights counseling service is slated to end Friday at 3 p.m. Offering a variety of assistance and advice to newcomers on the SC campus, the service, under the direction of Oakie King, has been instrumental in answering students’ questions about the university. “We've been answering all sorts of questions,” said King. “In fact, one student even asked us the phone number of one of the womens’ dorms.
