His defense of Pauley came as senate republicans opened fire on another Truman nomination—that Mr. Truman said tcdav that the United States hopes to ship fi.OOfl.-000 tons of wheat during the first half of 1046.

But the Senate Banking committee hearing on the Allen nomination lasted less than three hours, with an indicated favorable vote expected tomorrow. Knight initiates go prowling clad in rags, bare feet; Buzz dunked “If you want to be a Knight, just come along with me,” chanted Buzz Forward as he led 12 unsuspecting newly chosen Trojan Knights on a personally conducted tour, complete with blindfolds, around the SC campus. Ordered to meet in the Knigkt office at 12 today, the men, including Chuck Brohammer, Ralph Chase, Tom Cosgrove, Wayne Crawford, Bernard Fisher, Bill Freeman, John Gardetto, Bill Griffith, Oakie King, Jack Novak, Gordon Persons, and Howard Van Heuklyn, appeared clad in things nearest to rags that they owned. After removing their shoes, rolling up their trouser legs and donning blindfolds, they marched chain-gang style, with old Knights guarding, down the stairs of the Student Union singing “Fight On” in typical style of Knight serenades. Led by Jerry Hoytt, competent gym man, the 12 men marched to the pylon on University avenue steping “up on the down curbs and down on the up curbs.” Jack Estes, teaching the words to the fight song to those who did ndnfnow lTiem, was In charge of keeping Tirebiter and the new Knights apart. Estes reported that the dog has a better voice than most of the singers. Not to be outdone in expressing sentiment, Bill Freeman and Bill Griffith started a water fight, ending up with Buzz Forward and Joe Holt being chased until Holt, a track star in his own right, escaped. Forward was thoroughly dunked, Knight’s sweater and all. Actually, more than 100.000.000 persons will get some portion of the food shipments, he said. He said it would be un-Amencan to let anyone starve, whether they were allies or enemies in the past year. He said that Canada.

The U S. supreme court, in a 6 to 2 decision delivered Monday, refused to review the hanging sentence and ruled Yamashita's trial by an American military commission a “lawful'’ one. At the same time the tribunal rescinded a stay of execution granted to hear appeals from the general’s American attorneys. MacArthur confirmed the death sentence only 24 hours before the stay was announced and charged the impassive general with “violating the sacred trust" of a soldier, profaning the military profession, and threatening the “very fabric of international society.” “Carmen.” Bizet; and “Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes,” Ben Jonson. “With four SC musicians and a guest artist as soloists, Tuesday’s “Music in the Afternoon” concert promises to be attractive to the layman and musician alike,” stated Will Renda, director of the concert series. , There is music for everyone in the concert, according to Renda. “Included in the program is a little opera, operetta, q. love song, a gypsy dance, an old English ballad, a minuet, a nocturne, and a Fritz Kreisler composition,” he said. “The stress has been placed on variety in order that this concert might appeal to everyone,’' Renda (Continued on Page 4) Debaters tussel at Pepperdine The fine art of forenisic finagling ; will receive a thorough workout today and tomorrow at Pepperdine college when the senior men’s debate team of Maurice Gould, captain, and Eph Konigsberg compete in the Pacific Southwest Debate tournament. Tyler MacDonald, former SC student and now at Pepperdine is also entered in the tournament. During the debate at Pomona college the earlier part of this year, the local senior men's debate team tied MacDonald and his colleague for first place in the competition. “We are glad that we are again competing in the same tournament with Pepperdine’s top team,” stated Gould. Women's debate teams who are competing include Louise Shahan and Rachel Hansen, who won the women’s division of the Pomona tournament, Millie Carman and Anita Norcop. winners of numerous debate championships, and Harriet Kubby and Delta Sneddon. Other men's teams entered are Gerald Nordland and Sorrell Trope, and Gerald Hansen and Sam Soghomon-ian. A three-man team, composed of Bill Hamilton. Harold Sunderland, and Bill Hildeman, is also competing. In addition to the debate tournament, SC speakers are entered in extemporaneous speaking, in which participants are given an hour to prepare a speech on one of three topics; impromptu speaking, where only one minute is given for preparation; oratory, for ■Which speakers are allowed to prepare material; and interpre-. tive reading.

Millie Carman and Anita Norcop will enter the women's division, and Maurice Gould and Eph Konigsberg will compete in the men's section A large representation of colleges from the Rocky Mountain region, the middle west, and the Pacific coast is to be present at the tournament. Early issuing of book No. 1 set next week To facilitate registration all students attending the university, including graduate students, are expected to obtain Registration book No. 1 from the registrar’s office during next week. After completely filling out page 1 In ink, the book mav be presented at 115 Physical Education building between the hours of 11:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.. during the week, and Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to noon. Here the book will be stamped by a representative of the Health Service office, eliminating this lengthy procedure on registration days. No facilities will be available for processing of registration books prior to Monday. Students enrolled in physical education classes will have their registration books processed in a different manner. In this department each student must have his registration book stamped by the individual instructor. The fanciful plot concerned middle-aged. semi-sophisticated, Englishman Charles Condomine, (Ray Scott), a novelist whose plana ts write a book on spiritualism went awry when the ghost ot his first wife came back to plague him. The monkeyshines of wife No. 1 haunted the writer, who could see her, and harassed the writer’s second wife, who could not. The plot whipped fantastically along to a surprise ending which kept tha audience near the edge of their seats. The trials and tribulations ww* almost too much for the bewildered Charles, who finally began to wonder if his entire life was to ba haunted. The clever, witty lines resulted in almost constant laughter resounding throughout the auditonum. Some of the best comedy was afforded by Barbara Lynde, who portrayed the character Madame Arcati. an exotie chvstal-ball-gazer who was successful in bringing the spirit of the first wife from the “beyond,'’ but her attempts to return her were miserable failures. Janet Lees played the part of the first wife. Her completely white make-up along with her grey robe left no one questioning the fact that she was supposed to have been dead for seven years. Her mischievous actions, however, belied her true character. The role of sophisticated Ruth, the second wife, was handled weU by Barbara Willcox. She presented a stunning picture on the stage with her beautiful wardrobe. At first quite upset at the idea of the return of her husband's first wife, (Continued on Page 4) Pledges romp at barn party Garbed in plaid shirts and levis. in a turkey-in-the-straw atmos-.. phere. fraternity and sorority pledges will congregate tonight at 8:30. for a pledge-only bam dance at Roger Williams Memorial hall, 937 West Washington. Skits, refreshments, and dancing to the music of Ray Davis will be the order of the evening, with a loving cup being presented to the most versatile pledge group. Highlight of the evening will be the sight of over 400 pledges vieing to “bring home the bacon” in a greased pig on the loose contest The porker will be given to the pledge successfully capturing it as a reward. The dance will be the first of its type to be given since prewar days. and is hoped to bring about closer coordination between the various sororities and fraternities. Musicians plan winter concert A winter concert featuring the combined efforts of the university A Capella choir, the university chorus and the university orchestra, will be given in Bovard auditorium, Thursday at 8:15 p.m. The first half of the program will be taken over by the choir and chorus under the direction of Charles Hirt, who will sing “I Have Longed for Thy Saving Health.” Byrd; “Glory to God.” Pergolesi; “Bayush-kv Bayou.” Evans; “I Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray,” Cain; “My Lovely Celia.” Wilson; “The Pedlar,” Wilson; “Nightfall in Skye." Robertson; and “Czechoslovakian Dance Song,” Krone. Soloists are Jerold Shepherd, baritone. Joan Sharp, soprano, and Irene Robertson, organist. The university orchestra under the direction of Ingolf Dahl will play 'Dona Nobis Pacem” by Ralph Vaughan Williams. “This work is very modem and is based partly mi the text of Walt Whitman,” said Dahl. Rehearsals for the A Capella choir and chorus will be held in Bovard auditorium on the following days: Monday, 3:15 p.m. Tuesday. 2; 15 p.m. Wednesday, 7 p.m. Rehearsals for the orchestra are scheduled for Monday at 3:15 p.m. and Wednesday at 7 p.m. Sigma Chis will crown traditional sweetheart at dig Blue Key .. . executive council will meet today at 2:30 p.m. in 401 Student Union, annlunced Phil Burton, president. “The girl of my dreams is the sweetest girl . . . she’s the sweetheart of Sigma Chi.” Tomorrow is the night when the sweetheart of sweetheart’s is to be crowned by the brothers of Sigma Chi.

During the week of Jan. 21 to 25, a series of formal dinners were given to decide the fate of the 18 aspirants. Each corority had chosen one member as a contender. At each evening’s party five women were eliminated leaving their places at the long candlelit table empty. Only three chairs were not empty on the last evening. After the women were escorted home, the men cast secret ballots which were immediately locked in the fraternity safe. Tomorrow at the dance tthe ballots will be counted.
