Winter Term Grades Ready Today, Friday
AU students whose hearts are strong, or who are confident, foolhardy, or reckless enough to want to know just exactly what was happening from November through that last black week of February, may at last find out today and tomorrow.
Grades for the winter term will be issued at Arcade No. 2 of* the Administration building on the following schedule: A through E, this morning; F through L, this afternoon: M through R, Friday morning; S through Z, Friday afternoon.
The registrar’s office emphasizes that the schedule will be adhered to strictly and only students whose names begin with the letters designated will receive grades at the specified times.
Today's the day; cross your fingers, and investigate for yourself what price culture. The rumblings of the mysterious machine in ttie general studies division have ceased—even Man and Civilization results have at last come to light.
Arcade No. 2 at the entrance of the building, holds the secrets of the past term, and perhaps a portent (good we hope) of what lies ahead.

Atrocities Described By Darsie
Torture, Cremations Proven to be Part Of German War Plan
A shocking picture of the death, horror, and atrocities as found by an American army chaplain in a German concen-; tration camp, was presented ! yesterday at the weekly luncheon meeting o f the Men’s Faculty club by the Rev. George J. Darsie.
Speaking on the topic, “1
Buried Them at Buchenwald,” the Rev. Mr. Darsie described to fac-| ulty members the conditions which j existed in the camp when finally ' liberated by American troops.
The Rev. Mr. Darsie was an army chaplain with the rank of major attached to the 628th medical clearing company of the 1st army when the camp was freed in April of last year. He explained that the group to which he was asigned did various jobs among which were those of evacuating the wounded, taking care of displaced persons of various nationalities, and aiding American arid British prisoners of war who had been liberated.
"A scene of utter disorder," is the manner in which the Reverend characterized the situation which greeted the Americans at Buehen-wald. Continuing he declared, “It was also a scene of people almost finished and those who were finished.”
The prisoners held in the camp were classified as “political” by the Germans, and therefore some of the inmates had been in it for years, even prior to the actual outbreak of war.
“Most of the people confined were Jewish and they were the group who received most o£ the punishment," the Rev. Mr. Darsie declared. He told his audience that Buchenwald was conducted by S.S.

Giving the NRO s “time to attend sorority presents first, the dance sponsored by Fighting Top, social honorary of the naval reserve officers training corps unit, will not begin until 9 tomorrow night and will last until 12, Wayne Crawford, publicity Chairman for the group, announced.
A band composed of men from the unit will play for the dance in Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall. During the intermission, phonograph records will be played.

every member of the student body contributed a SI membership our drive would have been an overwhelming success." This was said by Virginia Lee Steitz.
“Nothing could bring more unfavorable reaction to our university than the failure to meet our goal.”
Last year with a quota set at $2000 the school went over the top with an intake of $3200. This year with a much larger enrollment, we haven’t been able to even reach a goal of $3000. With only $2500 received so far we lack $500 in completing our aim, said Miss Steitz.
All sororities on the campus have contributed 100^ with the amount received totaling close to
SI000. This means that every sorority member bought at least one $1 membership.
Fraternities on the campus have fallen short of complete participation with only the following houses having a 100% contribution: Alpha Rho Chi, Delta Tau Delta, Kappa Alpha Order, Kappa Sigma, Phi Sigma Kappa, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Sigma Phi Epsilon. Phi Kappa Tau and Sigma Nu have promised the completion of their goal.
Only two dormitories, Sequoia hall and Harris Plaza have completed 100% return. The faculty have given around S500; however this is not a complete representation.
The Red Cross wishes to extend their gratitude to the participants in
the show presented last Friday evening at which time $120 was added to the general fund. They also want to thank the -Troeds for the time and work they have expended in an effort to make this drive a success.

Foreign Policy Rapped By Baker, Konigsberg
“The United States is playing a foolish game at present in regards to international politics,” stated Mr. Alonzo Baker, assistant teacher in history and political science, yestertlay. i Keynoting the Town Meeting held in 101 Harris haH, Mi, Baker spoke on the stand of the United States, England,
and Russia in the current crisis.
Russia Quits UNO Council
NEW YORK. March 27.—(U.E)— Russia walked out of the United Nations security council chamber this afternoon when the council, defying its boycott ultimatum, refused to postpone discussion of the Iranian problem and called on Iranian Hussein Ala to state his country’s rase.
Ala, taking his seat at the council table a few minutes after the four Russian delegates walked out, hurled the lie at the Soviet statement that agreement had been reached between Russia and Iran and that there was no more dispute.
Ala asserted to the council also that Iran had rejected Russian demands:
1—That	Russian troops remain in parts of Iran indefinitely.
2—That	Iran recognize the “internal" autonomy of Azerbaijan province adjoining Russia.
3—That Iran agree to the formation of a joint oil company to exploit Iranian oil with Russia holding 51 per cent of the stock and Iran 49 per cent.
The security council, at the 27th meeting in its short history, fought for three hours and 39. minutes through its gravest crisis.
It adjourned until 4 p.m. tomorrow when it will meet in the first secret session it has ever held on a political question..
The United States and the Soviet Union, the two greatest single nations in the world, had clashed directly on an issue which reached to the fundamental issues of the UNO—the right of small nations to be heard at the council table against big ones.
Secretary of Stale James F. Byrnes conducted the fight for
the small nations against Russian delegate, Andrei A. Gromyko. Byrnes and the small nations won at the cost of the Russian walkout.
“The small nations look to us . . . so that if they have a grievance they can present it,” Byrnes said gravely. “If this is not done the UNO will die in infancy, a victim of inefficiency.”
Gromyko argued with all he had but it was no good.
The climax came when the council defeated nine to two a Russian demard that Iranian discussions be postponed to April 10.
Then the council approved eight to two a motion to hear Iran. Poland and Australia voted against it.
For nearly 2’2 hours Byrnes and Gromyko had fought it out as they sat at the council .table talking quietly.
Touchstone Casts For Play Series
Casting has been completed for the three one-act plays to be given Apr. 17 and 18 by the Touchstone players. Three short plays Friday and Saturday nights in the Touchstone .theater begin the series.
“The Traveling Man," written by Lady Gregory and directed by Lillian Evans, will have in the cast Betty Alden Harford, Arthur Blackburn, and Bob Downing.
The second play on the program is “El Christo,” a Belasco award winner in 1929. written by Margaret Larkin and directed by Geraldine Carlson. The cast includes Robert Sheldon, Arthur Buchwald, Fred Radwick, Smae Spaulding, Mary Vallie, and Rory Guy.
“Dust of the Road” completes the j list. The author is Kenneth Sawyer Goodman and Paul Blackburn will direct. In the cast are Laverne Elmore, Jessica Wessler, Gordon Evans, and Anthony Palma.
Sheriff to Toss Ball in Opener
Sheriff Gene Biscaiiuz will throw the first ban and Howard Eyram. president of the University of Southern California Alumni association, will catch it in Friday's SC-Stan-ford baseball game at Bovard field.
“When Churchill spoke at Fulton, and made certain declarations. President Truman should have left Ihe platform. As he did not leave, the president committed a faux-pas.” added Mr. Baker.
Continuing the subject that the United States is playing a foolish part in international affairs at present, Mr. Baker stated that there is no desire on the part of Rtissia, England, or the United Slates to engage in war.
“Neither England or Russia can wage and win a war without the assistance of the United States. Should Russia start a war, success would undoubtedly be with them for the first six months of conflict, but with the complete mobilization of the forces of England and the United States, the ultimate outcome would definitely not be a Russian victory. Instead, therefore, of employing the groping and fumbling methods we now employ in our international dealings, we should use the advantage we possess of the balance of ptfwer. We would be able to assume a role of a lubricant, to oil the machinery of cooperation between nations," said Mr. Baker.
Stating that he believed in idealism with an admixture of realism, Mr. Baker continued that he felt the United States did not possess anyone in office at present who is sufficiently acquainted wJth international affairs.
“We need smart people to handle foreign affairs, people who are fully aware of the magnitude of their | tasks. When we acquire this and other things, we will experience peace. May God hasten that day I of peace.”
