Room 108 hall of records, in Student Aid Group Pushes Charity Drive WSSF Helps Needy Students of World Via Campus Donors In cooperation with universities and colleges throughout the nation, a drive for the raising of funds for the WSSF opens today at SC, Don Blank, local chairman, has an-announced. As few students are fully acquainted with the work of this organization, Blank and committee members Betty Fullerton and Donna Knox have released the following details concerning the fund they represent. WORLD WIDE ORGANIZATION WSSF stands for World Student Service Fund, and as the name implies, it is a fund donated by students of universities and colleges all over the world for the basic welfare and education of other students. The fund is neither small nor new. An early counterpart of the present organization raised $1,450,000 in the United Staes alone in 1918. and between $2,500,000 and $3,000,000 between 1917 and 1925. The present goal for the United States in 1946 is $1,000,000 ;about half of the required total to be raised throughout the world. The work of the fund is actively backed in this country by the World* Student Christian federation, and Pax Romana, and the Hillel foundation, representing respectively the protestant, catholic and Jewish churches. Relief is administered on a non-sectarian, nonpolitical, non-profit basis. MEETS HUMAN NEED The basic principles of the organization, as stated in an official pamphlet, describe it as an organization “that works impartially without reference to race, nationality, religion, or politics, to meet human needs . . . impartial service to all students and professors in need, . . . service with an emphasis upon the intellectual, spiritual, and ethical forces . . . rehabilitation of university life in its full scope rather than relief only; cooperation among students and faculty inspired and sustained by the ideal of international solidarity; promotion of self-help and cooperated efforts in addition to direct assistance. In support of these aims, students and professors of 14 nations have raised nearly $1,850,000 for the relief of distressed fellow students in 18 war-devastated lands from 1937 to 1945. With the war now over and educational facilities trying to get back into operation, students eager to begin or continue their delayed training, help is urgently required. Housing, clothing, food, texts, medicine, all are pitifully inadequate and will unavoidably be' so for some time to come. These scholars look hopefully to those of us who can each give them some small measure of aid, knowing that students and professors of all people know and appreciate the value of education; know its importance in the rebuilding of a shattered world and its power in the preservation of world peace and the promotion of international understanding. Starting today, donation are being accepted in 323 Student Union. Blank and his assitants are confident that SC will make, as usual, a creditable showing in the national drive. Olson Postpones Career Lecture Originally scheduled for 3:15 p.m. today, the address of Dr. Emery Evans Olson, dean of the School of Public Administration, has been postponed for a week. Dr. Olson was to speak on ‘ Possibilities of Public Administration as a Career.” Details of the date and time of the speech will be found in a later issue of the D.T. Students of international relations and political science have been urged to attend, although ths lecture will be open to JIM MITCHELL . . . chairman GINNY KASPAR . . . compiles Campus Big Men' Await Penny Ballot The women’s gym will be the scene of soft music and dim lights Friday night when Amazons and Blue Key present their Trojanality man contest and dance. A public address system will waft the sweet strains of Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller recordings above the dancing couples and the evening will come to a climax with the election of a Trojanality man. With pennies to be cast in a poll-tax tj'pe of election, every one will be able to stuff the ballot box as much as he pleases. “The funds received as a result of .this contest will be donated to the World Service fund,” stated Jim Mitchell, Blue Key committee chairman. Mildred Carmen, president of Amazons, and Phil Burton, president of Blue Key, issued a joint statement announcing that the fund is a very worthy cause and that this contest will be a good initial step in putting it over the top. CROWD EXPECTED "We expect a big crowd to come and vote for one of the six contestants,” said Eleanor Valentine, Amazon committee chairman. She added .that every sorority and women’s dormitory have selected one man whom they though to be the most ideal creature. Amazons thfcn reduced the list to the six men who will be entered in the final contest. Each of ,the contestants will have dinner at the house from which he* was selected, according to Al Reid, Blue Key promotions chairman. The complete list as compiled by Ginny Kasper, Amazon, shows that dinners Thursday night will be held for Don Blank, Theta Delta Chi, at the Phi Sigma Sigma house: Bob Brekke, Sigma Chi, at the Pi Beta Phi house; Terry Nelson, SAE, at the Chi Omega house; Chuck Franklin, Kappa Sig, at .the Theta house; Jim Walker, Phi Psi, at the Delt Gamma house; and Al Spaeter, Sigma Chi, at the Alpha Gamma Delt house. In addition to this, Don Blank wift have dinner at Moreland hall Friday night and Terry Nelson at the AOPi house. A special attraction in the form of former student body prexy Bob Hoff was promised by Mitchell. Hoff, a movie executive, was selected as Trojanality man during his last year at SC. Mitchell also stated that trainees will be allowed liberty until 1 a.m. RENOWN COUNTS Free refreshments, consisting ol popcorn and cider, will be on hand to enliven the proceedings and the polls will open at 8 p.m. Although the final announcement of the winner will be made at 10:30 p.m., the results will be announced at different times during the dance in order to stimulate interest. Miss Valentine emphasized once more the governing factors in the election by stating that the man with the most glowing personality, the greatest renown, and the best talent, was being sought. “Balloting will be on the basis of a penny a vote,” she noted, “and there is no limit to the number of votes that can be given for any one contestant.” Jim Holmes, Blue Key committee member, added that it would be mainly a race of backers of the various contestants. “The committee chairman, Eleanor Valentine, Jim Mitchell, and Jim Holmes,” said Burton, “have spent a lot of time and effort to insure the success of the Trojanality dance.” Senate Deplores Lack Of Health Facilities by Donna Knox Calling the present university health service a disgrace to SC and bringing attention to the lack of facilities and per-sonel, the ASSC Senate last night voted unanimously to place Phil Burton, Blue Key president, in charge of a committee to investigate the problem. “The health service has facilities to handle only rour or five students at a time, and there is no place where students who have contagious diseases may be isolated,” Burton stated. Various members of the Senate gave instance after instance of inadequate treatment and emphasized the fact that the two nurses in the health service are also required to handle all the clerical work involved in health records for the entire student body. Unanimous approval was also given for the appointment of Bill Freeman as editor of the student handbook. Chuck Franklin, chairman of the Greater University committee, reported that approval for the printing of 10,000 freshmen “bibles" had been secured. APPROVE STUDENT MANAGERS Obviously in a unanimous mood, the group also gave over-all OKs to Jack Nichols?>Sigma Nu, and Owen King, Phi Kappa Psi, as members of the board of student managers. BiU Armbruster, ASSC president, explained that the board of stu- dent managers which was created at last week’s meeting, will consist of the faculty supervisor, the head coach, junior and senior managers, ASSC president, director of athletics, and two student members. With the appointment of Nichols and King, the board membership is now complete. Vacancies for three football and two baseball managers still exist. U.C. Registration Closes Saturday Deadline for registration for spring term night classes at University College is rapidly approaching, for after Saturday, registration will not be accepted without payment of a penalty fee. The office of Dean Ernest W. Tiegs has revealed that enrollments for the term have more than doubled the number enrolled at the same time in 1945. Price Control To be Debated In Vet Forum OPA Official Favors Retention of Agency; Meeting Open to All Dr. John Gaffey, district price economist for the OPA, wiU be one of the principal speakers at the first Trovet-sponsored forum this term at 3:15 p.m. today in 302 Law building. , The forum’s topic will be “Should the OPA be Continued?” It will be open to aU members of the student body and faculty, said Bob Wood-worth, Trovet forum committee chairman. Dr. Gaffey, presenting the affirmative side, has been affiliated with the national office of OPA for more than three years. He obtained his B.A. and M.A. degrees at the University of Ohio, and his PhX). at Columbia university. Prior to his affiliation with the OPA he was an instructor in the engineering college of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N. Y. HAS WRITTEN BOOK Dr. Gaffey has written a book entitled “Labor Productivity and Rubber Tire Manufacturing.” In addition, he has been a speaker on the KFAC radio forum. Presenting the negative side will be Erwin Borders of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. He is a graduate of Missouri university and a well-known radio speaker, writer, and advertiser. Mr. Borders is a strong opponent of price control. In his appearances on KFTs weekly feature, “The American Way,” he has steadfastly maintained that price control is contrary to the ideal of democracy and is crippling American Industry. OPEN TO ALL “The forum has been thrown open to everyone,” said Woodworth, “because we feel that this topic is of great importance to everyone, regardless of whether they are veterans.” “Th OPA and the current threat of inflation should, however, be of much concern to the student veteran,” Wodworth continued, “for if the price line is not held he will be among the first to suffer. Inflation will easily render the $65 or $90 a month received by the G.l. student worthless.” “Trovets have planned this forum as the beginning of a series of discussions on matters of immediate importance to veterans,” said Don Gibson, Trovet president. LONG RANGE PROGRAM He also emphasized that this forum is part of Trovet’s long-range program to stimulate veterans’ interest in current affairs and to contribute to their education. Special invitations have been mailed to heads of departments and their staffs. Following a 10-minute discussion by the speakers the meeting will be opened to questions from the audience. Tickets Available, Free Admission With Activity Card George, Hudson, Lynde, Newman, Chapman Star in First Dramatic Production of Year Initial campus dramatic production of the spring term, “High Tor,” opens the doors of Bovard tonight at 8:30 for a three-day run. Tickets for the event are now on sale at the Student Union ticket office, and may be purchased at Bovard in the evening. Holders of activity cards will be admitted free. Heralded as a serio-comedy, Sherwood Anderson’s play is an Innovation for the playwright, better known for his dramatic and social plot implications. Campus cast includes Jim Georg* in the role popularized by Burgess Meredith on Broadway, with Barbara Hudson, Barbara Lynde, Charles’Newman, Bill Chapman, William Kitchen, and Bob Rirena headlined. PLOT UNFOLDS Plot centers about the attempt* of a pair of mining engineers. Chapman and Kitchen, to gain the mineral-rich territory of High Tor. owned and revered by Van Van Dom. the part enacted by George Van Dorn’s, fiance, Judith, portrayed by Miss Hudson, is another of the factors dissuading him from his love of the land, but with th® aid of DeWitt, Charles Newton, a spirit from the past. Van Dom is almost able to successfully oppose the forces of modernization. Van Dom turns for sympathy and understanding to another lovelier apparition from the 17th century —Lise, who comforts him but cannot entirely recompensate for his flesh and blood sweetheart. Lise is given life by campus actress Barbara Lynde. Role of the Indian who keynotes Anderson’s thesis of overpowering civilization is taken by Bob Rirena. BEHIND THE SCENES Directed by Miss Frieda Meblin. drama instructor, the three-act play was managed by Des Wed berg. Stage manager responsibilities are taken over by Geraldine Carlson, graduate student, who has held a similar post in all drama productions for the past year. Script girl is Pauline Blankenship, while Laveme Elmore has taken charge of lighting. Other behind-the-scenes members of the stage staff are Kae * Jansen, costumes; Peggy Parsons, properties; Anna Lou Kett, sound effects, and Barbara Comfort, call girl. “Best seats in Bovard wiH be obtained by those who come early," advised Miss Meblin, “for we open doors promptly at 8.’’ JIM GEORGE . . . headliner Class Answers Hungry Europe Lack of sufficient UNRRA deliveries of food to destitute countries has today prompted members of Dr. Robert B. Pettengill’s 8 a.m. economics 53b class to select their own course of feeding hungry foreigners. Ex-G.I. s are sending food parcels to destitute families that they met when fighting overseas, whUe other members of the class are furnishing food and postage. It all started when the class was discussing the famine conditions in Europe. Dr. Pettengill pointed out that the average American diet consists of 3360 calories of food per day, while 140.000.000 Europeans are getting but 2000 and another 100.000.000 less than 1500 calories. The second thing that contributed to the present drive was the study of the Famine Emergency Relief committee, set up by President Harry S. Truman and headed by ex-President Herbert Hoover, that is stressing conservation of food in America. When the class learned that conservation is no assurance of food for hungry Europeans, they decided to take positive action. PILOT CALLS SIGNAL Harry I. Bremner, former pilot of the superfort Trojan Spirit, said ‘ Let’s get going on this,” and the ball was rolling. Spearheading their drive, Jack von Dornum, Charles N. Haas. Robert Phillips, and June M. Loprich. all SC students and members of the class, began their donations and sent two 11-pound boxes of food to needy European families last week. The remainder of the class fell in with the idea and has been bringing all kinds of concentrated foods which are being packed separately in 11-pound boxes. Each box is mailed to some foreign family, the names selected from lists supplied by local organizations such as the Pacific center, France forever group, and also families that were known to ex-service men when they were on their soil. Today, eight boxes have been sent and more are being prepared. Dr. John E. Nordskog, professor (Continued on Page 3) Reception Planned For Science Profs Sponsored by professional chemistry honoraries Phi Lambtft, Up-silon and Iota Sigftna Pi. an informal recention honoring new faculty members and teaching assistants in chemistry, bio-chemistry, pharmacy, and chemical engineering and their wives will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Student lounge. All graduate students in chemistry and faculty members are invited to attend. Faculty members who are to be honored are Drs. A, W. Adamson, Eugene Colichman, John Clapp, John O'Gorman, John Olsen, Wayne K. Wilmarth, Bradley T. Scheer. and Christine Koenecny. Teaching assistants who are to be feted include Charles Baes, Ephraim Catsiff, Frank Chubb. David Ellis, Lita Friedman, Mildred Kin-nory, David Kinnory, Jess Little, and Arthur Devor. Dr. Margaret Morehouse and Dr. I-eRoy S. Weatherby are faculty advisers to the committee. U. S. Position Weak—Tomlinson by Bob Fogarty America’s present weak position in hemisphere relations is a result of our shilly-shally attitude toward our Latin American neighbors, stated Edward Tomlinson, associate editor of Collier’s magazine, in an interview today. Mr. Tomlinson, who is also NBC’s adviser on inter-American affairs, declared, “We haven’t had a firm, consistent inter-American policy since Cordell Hull quit his role as Secretary of State.” “Furthermore,” he said, “most of the people in our state department know little or nothing about what they are doing—especially in regard to Latin America. Under-secretary of State Spruille Braden knows more than any of them, but his ideas are not being carried out.” Mr. Tomlinson referred to the disappointing failure of our policy with Argentina. He pointed out that before the war we tried to unite all the countries of the Western Hemis- psere in a common cause, the principle being that if one country were attacked the others would hasten to defend her. Argentina failed to respect this agreement, but we suddenly shifted our policy and, instead of serving with her, we readmitted her to maintain diplomatic relations during the war. Then we got tough and insisted upon aH countries of the Western Hemisphere withdrawing their ambassadors from Argentina. This was not a full severance of diplomatic ties, pointed out Mr. Tomlinson, but a phase of diplomatic relations. Shortly afterward, at the Inter-American conference in Mexico, we compromised by sending back the ambassadors. Then we laid down rules with which Argentina had to comply. Instead of waiting to see if sf* would live up to these rules, we comproiyjjed agam. and admitted her to the Uniuc stations m San Francisco.

Dr. Gaffey, presenting the affirmative side, has been affiliated with the national office of OPA for more than three years. He obtained his B.A. and M.A. degrees at the University of Ohio, and his PhX). at Columbia university. Prior to his affiliation with the OPA he was an instructor in the engineering college of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N. Y. HAS WRITTEN BOOK Dr. Gaffey has written a book entitled “Labor Productivity and Rubber Tire Manufacturing.” In addition, he has been a speaker on the KFAC radio forum. Presenting the negative side will be Erwin Borders of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. He is a graduate of Missouri university and a well-known radio speaker, writer, and advertiser. Mr. Borders is a strong opponent of price control. In his appearances on KFTs weekly feature, “The American Way,” he has steadfastly maintained that price control is contrary to the ideal of democracy and is crippling American Industry. OPEN TO ALL “The forum has been thrown open to everyone,” said Woodworth, “because we feel that this topic is of great importance to everyone, regardless of whether they are veterans.” “Th OPA and the current threat of inflation should, however, be of much concern to the student veteran,” Wodworth continued, “for if the price line is not held he will be among the first to suffer. Inflation will easily render the $65 or $90 a month received by the G.l. student worthless.” “Trovets have planned this forum as the beginning of a series of discussions on matters of immediate importance to veterans,” said Don Gibson, Trovet president. LONG RANGE PROGRAM He also emphasized that this forum is part of Trovet’s long-range program to stimulate veterans’ interest in current affairs and to contribute to their education.

Pettengill’s 8 a.m. economics 53b class to select their own course of feeding hungry foreigners. Ex-G.I. s are sending food parcels to destitute families that they met when fighting overseas, whUe other members of the class are furnishing food and postage. It all started when the class was discussing the famine conditions in Europe. Dr. Pettengill pointed out that the average American diet consists of 3360 calories of food per day, while 140.000.000 Europeans are getting but 2000 and another 100.000.000 less than 1500 calories. The second thing that contributed to the present drive was the study of the Famine Emergency Relief committee, set up by President Harry S. Truman and headed by ex-President Herbert Hoover, that is stressing conservation of food in America. When the class learned that conservation is no assurance of food for hungry Europeans, they decided to take positive action. PILOT CALLS SIGNAL Harry I. Bremner, former pilot of the superfort Trojan Spirit, said ‘ Let’s get going on this,” and the ball was rolling. Spearheading their drive, Jack von Dornum, Charles N. Haas. Robert Phillips, and June M. Loprich. all SC students and members of the class, began their donations and sent two 11-pound boxes of food to needy European families last week. The remainder of the class fell in with the idea and has been bringing all kinds of concentrated foods which are being packed separately in 11-pound boxes. Each box is mailed to some foreign family, the names selected from lists supplied by local organizations such as the Pacific center, France forever group, and also families that were known to ex-service men when they were on their soil. Today, eight boxes have been sent and more are being prepared. Dr. John E.

Position Weak—Tomlinson by Bob Fogarty America’s present weak position in hemisphere relations is a result of our shilly-shally attitude toward our Latin American neighbors, stated Edward Tomlinson, associate editor of Collier’s magazine, in an interview today. Mr. Tomlinson, who is also NBC’s adviser on inter-American affairs, declared, “We haven’t had a firm, consistent inter-American policy since Cordell Hull quit his role as Secretary of State.” “Furthermore,” he said, “most of the people in our state department know little or nothing about what they are doing—especially in regard to Latin America. Under-secretary of State Spruille Braden knows more than any of them, but his ideas are not being carried out.” Mr. Tomlinson referred to the disappointing failure of our policy with Argentina. He pointed out that before the war we tried to unite all the countries of the Western Hemis- psere in a common cause, the principle being that if one country were attacked the others would hasten to defend her. Argentina failed to respect this agreement, but we suddenly shifted our policy and, instead of serving with her, we readmitted her to maintain diplomatic relations during the war. Then we got tough and insisted upon aH countries of the Western Hemisphere withdrawing their ambassadors from Argentina. This was not a full severance of diplomatic ties, pointed out Mr. Tomlinson, but a phase of diplomatic relations. Shortly afterward, at the Inter-American conference in Mexico, we compromised by sending back the ambassadors. Then we laid down rules with which Argentina had to comply. Instead of waiting to see if sf* would live up to these rules, we comproiyjjed agam. and admitted her to the Uniuc stations m San Francisco. |
