Completing the metamorphosis, General Eaker went from England to the Mediterranian. and finally to his present position as deputy commander of the air forces.

Russ Rush Funds; Stay Firm on Iran
Full UNO Contribution Cabled to New York In Diplomatic Move to Display Confidence
NEW YORK, March 31—(UP)—Russia, in a dramatic expression of cpnfidence in the basic ideals of the United Nations, paid in full tonight its $1,723,000 contribution to the UNO, even while it maintained its Security Council boycott over Iran.
Council delegates were expressing fear of a prolonged deadlock over Iran and awaiting anxiously the first hint whether Russia would even reply to the council inquiry for a statement of the Soviet position by 11 a.m. Wednesday when the news was received.
By her gesture, Russia became
the first of the Big Five powers to pey her full contribution to the UNO $25,000,000 working capital fund. Her action came at the very (Continued on Page 4)
Manager Job Signups Open
Trojan men interested in becoming athletic manager will have until Wednesday to submit applications to the office of ASSC president Bill Armbruster, 233 Student Union, according to an announcement made Friday by Armbruster.
“The deadline for the filing of petitions for managerial positions is being advanced to Wednesday in order to give more men a chance to file,” Armbruster said, in pointing out that the manager jobs have been designed to give administrative experience as well as campus prestige to men holding them.
Applications for the positions of managers in training are open to 16 men who meet the qualifications of having completed 30 units and of having maintained a 1. grade average. Eight jobs as assistant managers are available for men meeting the requirements of haying 45 units and 1. grade average to their credit.
Applications submitted to Arm-bruster’s office will be placed before the Board of Student Managers for consideration. The board will choose new managers next week.
Brinton Asks For Teachers
Conferences to cope with the overwhelming teacher shortage will be begun this week by Mrs. Mary Frances Brinton, lecturer in the School of Education.
Hours from 2 to 4 p. m. have been
set aside for tomorrow, while the office will be open 9 to 11 a. m. Friday, according to Mrs. Brinton, to discuss the emergency teaching program with anyone interested.
“It was called to the attention of Dr. Osman R. Hull, acting head of
the school, that there are many students unable to qualify for regular credentials who could be used to diminish the teacher shortage, “Mrs. Brinton said. “An outstanding example of this was a graduate who contemplated becoming an airline stewardess because she didn’t have time to return for another year of study in the field which she actually preferred.”
APPROVAL REQUIRED
The emergency teaching papers allow anyone to teach who receives the approval of the superintendent of the school faculty which she plans to join. “While standards dropped incredibly in six months,” the emergency program lecturer commented, “the system has brought some relief to the shortage difficulties.”
The Tuesday and Friday office hours are open to all who'are interested, stressed Mrs. Brinton. Others unable to attend this week at that time may make appointments with Mrs. Smith, Richmond 4111, extension 411, education office.

Activity Book Sale to Close
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! This is positively the last and final chance. Don’t waste a minute! Rush right down and do it now! No, this is not a Sonia Henie Ice Follies announcement or a side show barker in action—just an announcement
that Wednesday is positively the last day that Student Activity
books will be on sale.
Of the original 1750 book editions, there are still a few copies left. They can be purchased at 211 Student Union from 8:30 to 11:30 a. m. or from 1 to 4:30 p. m. today through Wednesday.
The books can be obtained through the G. I. bill by veterans and for $5 by other students.

Kenneth K. Stonier, manager of student publications, has emphasized that, “Wednesday is positively the last day that these books will be on sale. If you want one of these books you had better get it right away.”
R.C. Optimistic As Drive Ends
The current Red Cross drive closed Friday afternoon, and according to figures available at that time, SC failed by approximately $150 to meet its $3000 quota. “We haven't given up yet, however, since all the returns are not in,” said Virginia Lee Steitz, Red Cross chief.
An encouraging indication that SC might still go over the top was afforded by Miss Steitz, who reported that over $50 was taken in at the-hooth in front of Bovard in about two hours Friday. She also added that all the faculty contributions have not been tabulated yet, although Red Cross workers have been checking the faculty mail each day. She asked all faculty members who have not yet turned in their contributions to deposit them in the faculty mail.
SORORITIES RESPOND
All sororities on campus have responded with 100 per cent contributions totaling nearly $1000, an average of $1 per member.
Quotas were met by three dormitories: Sequoia hall, Harris Plaza, and Nicholas hail. Willard hall turned in a report but did not achieve 100-per-cent standing, while
no return has yet come in from
Pinehurst or Moreland hall, Miss Steitz reported.
All fraternities except Theta Xi had turned in reports by Friday afternoon, although some of them failed to achieve 100 per cent of
their quota.	_
STATEMENT CORRECTED
“I wish to correct my statement in Friday's Daily Trojan that Phi Sigma Sigma did not achieve 100 per cent standing,” Miss Steitz said. “They did meet their quota, and I wish to apologize to them,” she added.
Professional honoraries and others who have not yet turned in their contributions were asked by Miss Steitz to turn them in to her at the Alpha Chi Omega house, 813 West 28th street.
Religious Emphasis week, which wiU begin formally at 8 tonight in Bovard auditorium with an address by Dr. Louis Hadley Evans, pastor ot the First Presbyterian church et Hollywood.
Dr. Evans will speak on the topic, "Not What, but Whom,” and tht program will feature musical selections by film star Dennis Morgan, a member of Dr. Evans’ church.
Tonight’s event will usher ln * week of varied and intensive activity, according to J. Randolph San-nett, executive secretary of religious activities. Daily programs will be augmented by personal counseling; dinner meetings, luncheons, and an essay contest.
The week's theme, “Man's Spirit, rooted in divinity, spring on inviolate within the breast of time,” will underly each day’s activities, and will provide the basis of Dr. Evans* talk.
Having spoken at last year’s Religious Emphasis week and delivered the commencement address at last term’s graduation ceremony. Dr. Evans is a familiar figure to Trojan students.
VISITED MISSIONARIES
Never one to be content with a narrow sphere of interests. Dr. Evans has found time in recent years to visit educational and missionary institutions in Asia, Africa, the Holy land, and Greece, besides working with the near east relief commission in many of these countries.
Having been an outstanding athlete, as well as student, in his college career, Dr. Evans became a firm believer in religious work in the colleges and univeftities of the nation. An all-state and ali-con-ference end in football and a star basketball center, he balanced his curriculum with serious studies for his arts and divinity degrees.
The Evans’ address will be followed tomorrow by Father Benjamin P. Bowling, CSP, pastor of the Church
of St. Paul the Apostle, West Los
Angeles, who will speak on "Religion’s Challenge Today” in the University library art and lecture room at 11 a m.

DR. R. B. VON KLEINSMID . . . Urges Support
It is a pleasure to proclaim1 the week of April 1, Religious Emphasis Week at the University of Southern California. Here religion is recognized as an attitude and way of life necessary to the complete educational process. To give emphasis to this concept of education, a week is set aside once each year as a climax to continuous effort throughout the year. More than thirty chosen leaders will be guests on our campus for assemblies, forum discussions, * personal conferences, and a varied schedule of activities.
Insofar, as possible, under present limitations imposed by the largest enrollment in the history of the University, let us all participate in Religious Emphasis Week, April 1 through April 5. It will mean strength and inspiration to the entire community.
R. B. von KleinSmid
Responsibility for the shape of things to come in our World today rests heavily upon the shoulders of college students.
We are aware that education stripped of moral and spiritual standards is of doubtful value and that a life without faith in the possibilities of moral living is devoid of meaning.
To aid in the development of a positive spiritual influence on this campus and in our disturbed world,
I hereby proclaim the week of April 1-7, 1946
Religious Emphasis Week and earnestly hope that each individual student and every campus group will cooperate in this all-University Quest for Meaning.

Spiritual Emphasis | Sought in Contest
As part of the campus-wide Re-ligious Emphasis week starting today, the Council on Religion is sponsoring an essay contest designed to stimulate wider interests in campus religious activities.
Don Gibbs, president of the council, states that all regularly regis-, tered SC students are eligible for participation in the contest.
Format for material will depend largely on the authors’ inspiration, but Gibbs suggests that all themes should begin with the writer’s personal concept of religion, followed by a practical application to campus life.
The body of the essay should deal with religion in practice and how it effects every-day relationships not only among students but among all individuals.
Two awards will be made and will be announced following a period of judging. The council will seek to publish and arrange for radio production of the winning essays.
All entries should be submitted this week to the Council of Religion offices adjoining the Student Lounge, third floor Student Union.
New Wampus Lightly Turns
We looked in on a seemingly defunct Wampus office this week and signs of feverish activity prevailed. Signs of spring were there too. Ralph Peters, Wamp business manager, was getting ready for tha Wampus spring coming-out party.
“Beautiful women, lots of them," Peters asserted. “We are going to have at least a doaen beautiful women selling the magazine when it comes out later this week.* Peter* seemed entirely at home handling this sales force.
SPRING ISSUE
-We have an exceptional cover photo for our spring issue,” editor Donna Knox boasted.
Editor Knox aiso talked ap tha new Wampus cartoonist ex-marine Walt Smith who penned the cartoons for the issue which, as tha entire Wampus staff pointed out, are really great.
FEATURES ROMANCE
“And of course, besides tha fiction and the columns and tha jokes, there is that long awaited R. n R. comer in the magazine,” tha editor sighed.
“To avoid a sell-out, put down a quarter to reserve a copy of tha blue-covered magazine.”
