Geology Prof
Prognosticates Local Tremors
Verifying the prediction of future earthquakes that Prof. Clements of the department of geology, Allan Hancock foundation. made to the Daily Trojan in October of last year, two earthquakes shook the metropolitan
area of Los Angeles at 5:36 and 5:51 Friday morning.
Professor Clements would not
state positively that the earthquake was caused by the Inglewood fault because there is no seismographical equipment at SC. When interviewed by a Trojan reporter, he ventured this opinion, “The earthquake is probably the result of movement on the
Ihglewood fault.”
“Movement oon a fault is the result of building up stresses until the elastic limit of the rock is surpassed,” Professor Clements said. When this occurs, the rock breaks and an earthquake is the result.”
The Inglewood fault that Professor Clements mentions is a fault that extends from Bsverly Hills to Newport Beach. It is an active fault (an active fault is one which is in the process of moving) and probably will be for tens of
thousands of years.

LONDON, Mar. 17.—UP— Reliable sources said tonight that Russian experts were conducting secret negotiations with the Iranian government for oil concessions and press dispatches reported that a re-i volutionary outbreak in the i capital might be imminent.
Press dispatches reported that Iranian army reinforcements were moved into the capital but they did not make it clear whether pro-Russian Premier Ahmad Ghavam es-Sultaneh of anti-Russian army leaders were moving them.
The dispatches said that Ghavam was taking extraordinary precautions to guard against a revolutionary coup. At the same time diplomatic sources here believed that Ghavam, while trying to give the appearance of opposing Russian demands, was secretly negotiating oil concessions with the Soviet Union.
It was added that the Iranian government was studying a proposal made by Sir Reader Bullard, retiring British ambassador, to refer the question of Iranian oil resources to the United Nations.
This plan, it was asserted, has been forwarded to Iranian Ambassador Hussein Ala in Washington
for his opinion on the advisability of submitting the economic aspect of the Ruffiian-Iranian dispute to the UNO.
But events were moving swiftly and dispatches indicated a belief that an outbreak by the left wing Todeh party, Azerbaijan Separatists of even the army might be near. It was pointed out that the Iranian New Year holiday, when all government departments will close for five days, starts Thursday and dispatches said this might be the zero hour.
Dispatches said that before the reported moving of reinforcements the Tehran garrison comprised two infantry divisions, one cavalry division, one heavy and one light artillery regiment and a weak aair force.
Dispatches said that roads leading to Tehran were under watch day and night, that signal posts were established on high ground around the capital and that special radio receiving sets had been installed on war ministry buildings.
Eleven Iranians were arrested, lt was said, and leading citizens appealed to Tehran. It was said also that bombs believed to have been thrown by Tudehists Saturday dam_ aged homes of two right wing leaders.
Whatever the correct situation, included the reports of Russian-Ira-nian negotiations, diplomatic quarters expected a climax within a few days.

Museum Starts Collection of War Souvenirs
Hugo Czedron, an otherwise unknown unterleutnant in the Japanese army arsenal, as well as one tricky Nipponese rifle
German storm troopers, could not have guessed in his heyday that the proudly bedecked uniform he wore would become the nucleus for the Los Angeles county museum’s projected exhibit of mementos of the recent war.
Under the experienced direction of Arthur Woodward, the museum's director of history and anthropology, the Exposition park institution is seeking to build up a full collection of souvenirs of both the Pacific and European campaigns. A large new hall is planned to house the curios in permanent fashion. So far, the collection is still in the tentative stage, and ter. as jokes hold a prominent | Woodward would like to see many of the vaunted G.l. “liberated items” donated to this historical cause.
“Many men, home from the wars, treasure their mementos for a few months; then, after all the relatives and neighbors have admired them, the items lose their value and are discarded or lost in the shuffle. Many items of great historical interest to future generations never find their way into the proper preserving hands,” Woodward stated.
Every item, no matter how trivial it seems, may be of value to the planned exhibit, according to Woodward, who urged ^former fighters to donate their souvenirs to the museum.
The effects of the unknown German Second Lieutenant Czedron will form a valuable point of interest in time to come. Not only was Czedron’s Sturm Abend uniform recovered intact, but his entire identification file, including passport, ration books, French passes, and a personal photo were also brought to the museum.
German caps, canteens, field equipment and side-arms in profusion form part of the collection, which is still far from complete.

Among items Woodward would like to see appear in the future are documents and field orders from either side, with signatures. He would also like copies of magazines from all combatants, field newspapers, publications such as Yank and Stars and Stripes, American and enemy uniforms of all ranks and services, and any items belonging to famous personages connected with the war.
“When completed, the collection should prove of enduring interest to SC veterans as well as to the rest of the community-” v^oodward asserted."
“xill contributions should be in the form of gifts rather than loans, though the donor will receive full credit for his generosity in the finished presentation,” Woodward continued, stressing the fact that the museum will not sell or trade for profit any contributions made to it.

Membership in the newly formed Trovets bowling league has been thrown open to all veterans regardless of whether they are members of Trovets or not, according to Don Gibson, president.
Time for league play has been designated as Friday afternoon from approximately 3 to 6. At present the
league is still forming, Gibson stated. with informal bowling every Friday afternoon.
Any veteran interested in bowling should leave his name at the Trovets office in the student lounge, which is open each day from 11 to 1. Twenty-five cents per line will be the charge, Gibson concluded.
A tentative schedule of the School of Music faculty concerts for the spring term was announced today by John Crown, professor of music.
“The musical program for the spring term should prove interesting as well as instructive,” stated Professor Crown. “It will be our policy,” he added “to give to the listener a diversified program of classical and contemporary works ranging from chamber music to solo playing.”
Professor Crown announced the following schedule of concerts to be given in the Hancock auditorium:
Mar. 27, Prof. Steven De'Ak and Prof. John Crown will play a sonata recital for cello and piano.
Month of April, Lillian Steuber will play a piano recital.
In May Prof. Anton Maaskoff and Prof. Alice Ehlers will play a recital of Bach and Mozart sonatas.
Month of May, Miss Lavene Dayton, instructor in piano, will play a piano recital.
Month of June Prof. Anton Maaskoff will play a solo recital in collaboration with the Hancock ensemble.
Month of June Professor Crown, Professor Maaskoff, and Professor De’Ak will play a trio concert. This 'concert will terminate the season’s recitals.
In commenting on the recital of Mar. 27, 8:30 p.m., Professor Crown states that he and Professor De’Ak “will center their interest on Shostakovich’s sonata for cello and piano.” .
The program will further Include a Franck sonata usually heard with violin and piano, but also widely played by cellists. On the same program excerpts from the Schumann Fantasy will be played.
Tickets for the event may be obtained free of charge, from the School of Music or the Hancock office.
the services rendered by the Red Cross by pointing out that last year the Red Cross visited the scenes of 260 major disasters and played a vital role in research work and rehabilitation of devastated areas.
“With the Red Cross pledging itself to three main objectives including furnishing volunteer aid to sick and wounded of the military in time of war, acting as a medium of communication between the people of the United States and their servicemen, and mitigating the suffering caused by pestilence, famine, fire and flood, each student must realize the importance and scope of Red Cross work today,” stated Ginny Lee Steitz, Red Cross chairman.
Two sororities, Pi Beta Phi and Phi Mu, have already reported 100 per cent membership in the drive. “Red Cross spirit will be exemplified by Red Cross buttons, membership cards, posters, and personal visits from Red Cross representatives throughout the week,” said Miss Payne.
Climax of the week’s drive will be the Varsity show, Friday night in Bovard sta'dium.
Faculty members have been asked to place envelopes containing their contributions in the slot marked “Red Cross Contributions” beneath the mailboxes in the Office of Information.
A special booth in front of the Administration building will receive contributions from individuals on campus today.
With last year’s goal surpassed by more than S1000, and with this year’s increased enrollment. Red Cross officials expect even greater donations, stated Miss Payne.
The Red Cross drive is being carried on in conjunction with other Red Cross chapters on other campuses, 157 of these organized since 1942.
Continuing peacetime work, the Red Cross is now carrying on an extensive program of water safety in an attempt to • cut down the 7000 death figure attributed to drownings each year. Adding to the total of 3,900,941 who now possess instructor’s certificates in water safety, 17,000 new instructors will be t'ained during 1946. An accident prevention program is now being expanded in schools and community organizations in an effort to lower the huge total of 36.000 killed yearly in home and farm accidents.
"Every American knows the tremendous job done by the Red Cross during the war in countless services at home and with the front lines,” Miss Payne reminded students. “We must keep on supporting the peacetime activities of this organization as we did in wartime,” she said.

Hadley to Help In Counseling
The general requirements of the university for students in the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences will be explained to new and lower division students this Thursday.
Under the educational counseling service of the college, Paul E. Hadley, instructor in international relations, will be in charge' of the program, an open forum meeting at 2:15 p.m. in 351 Administration.
All students registered in the College of Letters, Arts, and Science are invited to attend.
According to Mr. Hadley this will
be the first of a series of informal meetings held by the counseling service designed to acquaint the students who are concerned with adjusting their program to meet the university's general requirements and to aid them in planning for work to be completed in their ma jor.
Libby's Aide Airs Mix-up
According to a spokesman for Philip A. Libby, coordinator of veterans affairs, a serious bottleneck has occurred at his office due to the fact that during registration many veterans neglected to fill out the yellow program cards which go on file at the office of veterans affairs, or neglected to put their names on these cards.
The mixup was apparently due to a misinterpretation of the card heading. The heading read “Navy; Veterans,” and during the confusion which reigned during registration day many ex-servicemen, especially army veterans, did not see the diminutive but all-important semicolon and thus assumed that IS was not necessary to fill out the card.
The harassed office staff, already carrying a heavy load of work, estimates that there are between 200 and 300 of these incomplete program cards. They point out that these cards are necessary for subsistence payments, whether under the G.L, state, or rehabilitation bills, and aslc aU veterans who may be in doubt as to whether or not they filled out this program card to come into the office sometime during the week to check through the files.
Economic Changes Told by Pettengill
“New developments in Our Economic Relationships” was the subject of a talk by Dr. Robert B. PettengQ to Alpha Kappa Delta last Friday
night in Wesley chapel.
Pointing out various economic changes that result from war and its aftermath, Dr. Pettengill discussed how the lot of organized labor was improved and also disclosed that increased taxes adversely affected the white collar worker. Prosperity in the postwar period is a strong probability, according <o Dr. Pettengill.
