Sue Brack, Homecoming queen and her entourage will reign over the night’s proceedings.
The Homecoming dance will be the highlight of the week and should rival any of the pre-war social events,” emphasized Buzz Forward, president of the Knights.
Ted Straeter has a style similar to the late Eddie Duchin, one of the greatest pianists in popular music, and all of his arrangements are patterned after Freddy Martin
and Duchin. Straeter has just completed a long engagement at the Mark Hopkins hotel in San Francisco and has appeared in most of the principal hotels on the coast.
The dance will be informal; the appropriate attire is suits and ties ! for the men and date dresses for j the women.

Potsdam order (aces revision
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—(U.E)— President Truman revealed .today that the United States is seeking to break the four-power deadlock over control of Germany through revision of the Potsdam declaration.
He declined to give specific information on ,the grounds that a detailed discussion might prejudice negotiations. But only yesterday he released a report by Byron Price,
former director of censorship, warning that France was exercising her
veto power in the Allied control council to bring about the economic dismemberment of Germany.
In a discussion of International affairs in general, Mr. Truman also told his press conference.
1,—He does not share some fears expressed in Congress that Russia will not cooperate with the United Nations. But he said he will discuss later reports that Russia’s failure to cooperate might lead to another war.
2.—There will be no need for further big three meetings or any other special, top-level international conference if the United Nations organization operates like it should.
3.—The Government is not ready to announce appointment of U. S. members to the Anglo-American commission to investigate the feasibility of allowing increased Jewish immigration into Palestine.
Mr. Truman specified that this country’s efforts to alter the Potsdam declaration will apply only to certain phrases directly applicable to the four power control commission.
Price, who recently completed an investigative mission in Germany for the President, asserted that the United States faces failure in its efforts to rebuild a peaceful Germany unless its policies are overhauled.
He recommended that this government use its “full force and prestige” to break the deadlock brought about by the council’s single veto rule. He argued that France has used her veto power to obstruct operation of Germany as an economic unit and should be “made to acknowledge . . . before the world” that she favors the economic dismemberment of
Germany.
Mr. Truman said the veto question was one of the things being discussed but he declined to go into | details.
Independence day and Memorial day will again be observed as university holidays and three day recesses will be planned for Thanksgiving and Easter. *
The accelerated program now used will be replaced by the regular college year with two semesters of 20 weeks each. One commencement ceremony will be held a year when all students with the required number of units to graduate will return and receive their diplomas. The ceremony will be held in June of each yean

Trojans to win with dry pigskin
Row boats, Mae Wests, and collapsible life boats can be put away
tomorrow. Trojans will not have to swim to the Coliseum, if Old Man weather has anything to say about it.
Rain is not in the offing, according to the man who knows in the United States weather bureau. He confided this after looking in his tea cups and gazing lovingly into his empty crystaf ball.
So after SC comes in for a thundering win tomorrow, the victory cannot possibly be blamed on the weather.
UCLAns were “allahing” for fair weather, spreading out their prayer rugs, and trying to tempt fate in any way possible. For after their slushing defeat last Saturday, they would show up poorly in the rain, and anyway their laundry bill mast be pretty terrific already.

Get ready, men. Zero hour approaching. Synchronize

Today marks the end of the Victory Loan drive on the SC campus. After a slow start at the first of the week, sales have
climbed steadily, but there is still no---
sign of the glowing totals of former drives. The bond booth which will remain open all day is making a final attempt to save the face of
Troy.
“We’d like to end the week in a blaze of glory,” said Pat Lamb, sales chairman, “and there is stUl a chance of success. There has been so much else on the calendar that the drive naturally has not been uppermost in everyone’s mind, but on this last day it should be.”
“Everybody wants big results,” she continued, “but leaves the actual buying to the other fellow, not realizing that every dime counts. I’d like to remind people that they are not giving their money away but only saving it for another day.” Womanning the Victory Booth in front of ~ —ard today will be Jeanne Robinson, Martha Lance,

Rooters may purchase pompons from Spooks
Are you guilty? When everyone else is waving his pompon, do you sit with folded hands? If so, the Spooks and Spokes will alleviate your distress.

Harris shows C.l. sketches
Sketches made by a 0.1. with aa ordinary fountain pen on army office paper are being exhibited in Harris Art museum this and next week.
Pfc. Howard Morgridge, Architecture ’42, while attached to headquarters company of an army department depot in Leyte, began to put down on paper some of the native scenery he saw. Since he had no art material at all, he was required to use the only things available; ordinary pen and ink.
The exhibit includes about 2G drawings and water colors which were made after his parents sent him painting equipment. Among the scenes of life on Leyte is a picture of the cathedral at Palo, near Tacloban, which was being used as a convalescent station during the battle for the Philippines. Tlie interior of the church was shown in a recent issue of Life, depicting American GJ.’s lying on cots, as natives kneeled in prayer during services.
Classical society adds to fall plans
With its theme “Classical Literature for the Layman,” the Classical association of the Pacific states (southern division) will convene today at 10 ajn. in Bowne hall of the Mudd Memorial building, announced Dr. Ruth W. Brown, professor of Latin.
This is the association’s annual winter meeting, traditionally held on SC’s campus, with visitors welcome to view the diversified program Since work for a Ph.D. in classical languages was instituted last year, there has been a marked increase in Greek and Latin students, making the future value of the organization greater for all members, said Dr. Brown.
President of .the group is Gail Allen Burnett, teaching associate in the English department who is studying for a Ph.D.
President Rufus B. von KleinSmid will open the meeting, to be followed by Dr. Edgar J. Good-speed, University of Chicago, speaking on “The Bible in Translation.” Dr. Percy Houston, Occidental college, will discuss “The English Department Teaches the Classics.”
Concluding addresses will include ‘‘Latin and Greek in the Changing Curriculum,” “Seminars in the Great Books for Adults,” and “An Experiment in Teaching Third-year High School Latin.”
SC cooperation asked for new rooting section
Following the trend back to prewar standards, Troy’s rooting section will exhibit new and better things tomorrow, according to Buzz Forward, Knight president.
Against the white background formed by the men in the section, all women will be seated to form a large block SC, two rows wide. When pompons are waved, the section will then constantly form a huge SC, Forward stated.
“To accomplish this, however, we will need the cooperation of all the women,” he said. “More than 650 will be needed to form the letters and getting that many seated correctly will be impossible unless everyone cooperates.”
As usual, men will be required to wear white shirts and cardinal and gold rooters’ caps. Anyone not meeting the requirements will not be allowed to sit in the section.
All students shook! be In the section by 1:15 p.m. as there will be pre-game pageantry, and the participation of the rooting section will be needed, Forward continued.
“We’re going to be sitting across from one of the best rooting sections in the country,” Forward stated. “But we can be even better if everyone will do his part, and this means the men should velL The women have been doing their part, but over the radio we sound like a ladies’ cheering section. SC’s rooting section can only be as good as each student tries to make it,” he said.
