CHUNGKING, Nov. 11. — (U.P.) — The Chinese government is negotiating with Russia to permit the entry of nationalist troops into Manchuria by air, it was disclosed today as communist troops, guarding the great wall of China, declared they were expecting new nationalist attacks.
Government information minister K. C. Wu announced that negotiations with Russia were started after communist armies barred advances by land and sea.
However, it was emphasized that any large-scale air transport of nationalist troops into Manchuria would have to be undertaken by Chinese pilots and not Americans.
U. S. military officials, who had aided transport of government armies from South China to the north by sea and air, have refused to become more deeply involved in China’s internal strife by using American planes or personnel to move nationalist troops into Manchuria.
The Chinese national government, meanwhile, called for a convention of the peoples’ congress May 5, 1946, in efforts to settle China's internal strife.
United Press dispatches from Chinwangtao reported Friday that additional nationalist troops were expected to land in North China soon to reinforee the nationalist 13th and 52nd armies camped before Shanhaikwan.
Other Chinwangtao dispatches reported an announcement by Lt. Gen. Tu Li-ming, nationalist commander ! for Manchuria, that communist
retired executive officer of the campus NROTC unit, stated that the navy will be unable to hold any celebration this year because of busy, speeded-up schedules financed by the government. Since the armistice is no longer considered a national holiday, there wUl be no interruptions in the original school schedule.
The local high schools, however,
have declared a holiday in order that local school ROTC units and bands may participate in a parade fc be held downtown.

Tu asserted his two armies deployed before Shanhaikwan, nine miles north or Chinwangtao, would “move forward” if unity conferences between nationalist and communist representatives in Chungking should fail.
Communists in Chungking made renewed charges that American troops have intervened directly on the side of nationalist troops. Americans, collaborating with 300 nationalist troops, on Nov. 1 captured the communist-held town of Liu-shouying,
It was believed the proposed nationalist airborne operations to occupy Manchuria on the heels of departing Russian troops would aim first at the major cities—Muklen, Harbin, and Hsinking (Changchun), the capital of Manchuria.

Violators directed to right authority
Knights to continue campus traffic patrol through term to hit improper parking
Student motorists who receive tickets for violating parking rules around the campus are asked not to come to the president’s office, as that office will take no action upon them.
The students should report to the office of the dean of men, if the ticket was issued by the Trojan Knights, or to the office of the police department which issued the citation.
Beginning today, the police department will supplement the Trojan Knights, although the Knights will continue to tag cars, announced Dr. Carl H. Hancey, dean of men.
“Although violations have been greatly reduced, there are still a few students not cooperating in the reduction of these offenses, and so therefore It has been decided to continue the enforcement throughout the term,” stated Buzz Forward, president of the Trojan Knights.
“We realize that the enrollment at SC is the largest in several years, and that more students are driving cars than ever before, but
we do have ample parking facilities to the east of Von KleinSmid hall, a large parking lot behind Bridge, and also in the rear of the Wheel and the Horse. There is also a large lot behind the Science building, and I am sure these facilities if properly used can accommodate the cars driven by the students of SC,” he said.
Violators Who have received tickets are to report to the office of the dean of men within 48 hours. Neglecting to do so is inexcuseable, and defendants will be requested to appear before the men’s council or women's judicial court for a trial, according to Dean Hancey.
This campaign is directed toward and includes both members of the faculty and the students of the university without exception.
A first offense will cost the student $1, the second doubles the amount, and .the third costs $5.
Red curbings have been the major source of violation, but tickets are also being given for blocking driveways, obstructing fireplugs, and angle parking other than the customary 90-degree parking.
WAA alters program for co-ed activities

Basic English offered at SC
As Troy requires every foreign-born student to take English as one of his subjects upon entering SC, a new class under the classification of English lz has been created. This class meets five days per week and-is taught by Dr. Eleazer Lecky, associate professor of English language and literature, who has made a special study in the field of semantics and the theories of basic English.
Basic English is an invention of Ivor Armstrong Richards and C. K. Ogden. It is a condensation of the English language into an 850-word vocabulary which will do the most work and not seem in any way different from everyday English.
In speaking of this new course,
Prof. Lionel Stevenson said, “By
stalling with basic English, it wilt give the student confidence, thereby helping him to further mastery of the language. This is a new experiment for our English department and we hope that it will prove that the •jreign born student can take literature just as easily as the student who learns English from childhood.
Students in English lz are from China, Panama, Mexico. Chile, Ura-guay, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Guatamala.
Dr. Lecky, in speaking of the group stated, “In the past when a foreign-born student registered, we had no course designed for their special needs. They have heretofore been placed in English ly or la, classes which were definitely not designed for them.
This new class of English lz is an attempt to fill a need long prevalent in our English classes.”
"We are using a combination of books, as our goal is to prepare the students for lb English so that it will not be necessary for them to take la,” he concluded.
ASSC
tion to its previous sports schedules, is temporarily sponsoring mixed sports for recreation and practices.
This sponsorship arrangement is temporarily in effect until embryonic plans for a men’s association can be completed.
Scheduled to begin this week are archery, bedminton, bowling, volleyball, tennis, and swimming, with opportunities for women tc obtain activity points as well as membership in WAA through participation in any one of these activities. Men may participate in practices of &11 the sports listed and tournaments of all the sports except volleyball and bowling. These two sports will possibly be opened to mixed-team tournament participation at some later date.
Archery for both men and women will meet at 3:15 on Tuesday
afternoons and on Friday mornings at 10, 11, and 12, on the archery field. Activity points arc given to women in an individual sport, such as archery, on the basis of participation in one meeting a week for three fourths of the archery season, including the tournament. The season is completed in approximately 12 weeks, according to Jean Bennett, archery chairman.
Badminton is scheduled to meet on Tuesday at 12 noon in the women’s gym for both men and women with a possible evening meeting to be scheduled in the near future. Activity points will be given on the same basis as in archery, states Ar-dis Howland, chairman.

Flewelling to speak at forum
Atomic bomb effects to highlight discussion
The 31st semi-annual philosophy forum’s six-weeks program for fall, 1945, will begin at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in Bowne hall with an address by Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling, director emeritus of the School of Philosophy.
Following the general topic of the forum, which is to be “The New Tasks of Peace,” Dr. Flewelling will speak on the effects of the atomic bomb and present-day technology of modern civiliza-tion. The theme of his contribution, entitled “Dead Worlds,” is well expressed in this portion of the address : “The world if parochial thinking is lost. The world of segregated races, religious and cultures has passed.”
On successive Tuesdays, the remaining five addresses of the forum will be presented to the public in Bowne hall. On Nov. 20, Dr. Wilbur H. Long, professor of philosophy, will talk on the “Philosophic Bases of Peace.” Dr. Herbert L. Searles, associate professor of philosophy, will follow Nov. 27, with ‘‘Social Conditions of Peace.”
Following through with the overall theme of the forum, Dr. M. M. Thompson, professor of edu.culic;i, will speak on “Educating for Peace'’ in the fourth address of the series on Dec. 4, and Dr. Paul R. Helsel, associate professor of philosophy, will present “Implementing Religion for Peace” Dec. 11.
The final session will be Dec. 18, when Dr. Matila Ghyka, visiting lecturer on aesthetics, will speak on “The Concept of Harmony In Eastern and Western Philosophy.” Dr. Ghyka has but recently arrived in this country from England.
For more than 15 years the School of Philosophy has prepared and presented these lectures and discussions every six months, which makes the philosophy forum the oldest of the "popular” lecture series on the SC campus.
Both students and public -have been cordially invited to the forum by the School of Philosophy. It is being scheduled for Bowne hall in Mudd Memorial hall at 1:15 p.m. every Tuesday. Students of current affairs should find these talks of particular value, for they deal directly with the problems of modem society and attempt to find a solution to them.

British battle Indonesians
BATAVIA. Java, Nov. 11 (U.E) — Tank-led British Indian troops, covered by warplanes and warships, have seized control of most of Soer-abaja, it was announced today, as fanatical fighting by Indonesian nationalists took a heavy toll in dead and wounded.
Late official reports indicated that many British soldiers had been killed. Indonesians were reported
using Japanese-captured tanks.
In an effort to end resistance in the rubble-strewn city, British warplanes battered military objectives a second time this afternoon. ^Several Indonesian military headquarters suffered direct hits, it was reported.
Indonesian leaders claimed that “indiscriminate” bombing by British warplanes and shelling by warships in the harbor had killed thousands of their people.
Considerable quantities of small Japanese arms, including medium machine guns, were found abandoned in the streets, it was announced. Sixty-eight machine gun carriers were found in a park.
The British seized a telephone exchange intact. Water and electricity were reported out of order. Yesterday 350 persons held as hostages by the Indonesians were released.
(The Melbourne rauio heard by United Press in San Francisco said the British had taken nearly two thirds of the eastern Java naval base city of 500,000, and that “fighting has practically ceased.”)
Service center established for war veterans
Office to accommodate 250 men a month
Another educational veterans’ advisement and guidance center has been established for all former service men qualifying under the G.L bill and the rehabilitation program.
Operated by SC at the new loca-ction at Jefferson street and Hoover boulevard, the center will accomodate 250 veterans monthly who desire aid in the selection of a vocation. Applicants are first directed to the veterans’ administration headquarters- at 1031 South Broadway for assignment .to the SC center.
The new division is under the direction of Dr. Neil D. Warren, assistant professor of psychology, who served In the army air forces for a period of three and one-half years both in Europe and at the psychological research unit of the Santa Ana army air base. He was recently discharged with the rank of major*
Scientific tests for returning servicemen who plan to continue their education or training is the chief function of the new center.
Dr. Warren and his staff of 20 psychologists are using tests and interviews that require approximately 10 hours for each veteran. The skills, interests, temperament, and personality of each veteran are among studies each requiring seperate tests.
“The veteran who is more apt with his hands will probably do best at some trade school offering specialized preparation in his field,” said Dr. Warren. “Others, because of a war injury, may be required to change their vocation. Not all are qualified for college work and it is the government’s desire to help them from becoming square pegs in
round holes.”
Representatives have been appointed to contact all fraternities and sororities before the deadline. The money should be turned in to the sociology office on the second floor of the Administration building.
Totals for the Victory Chest drive up to 4 p.m. Friday were faculty and staff members, 51086.15: non-organization students, 5890.67; sororities, 5781.00; fraternities, $58.74; total cash contributions, 52816.56, and faculty pledges, $175. The grand total was $2991.56.
Ann Pearce and Dody Yale, sorority chairmen, have stated that all sorority women are pledged for at least $1. Those who have not contributed must do so by Wednesday mom:?.
Checks for the total amounts for sororities should be given to Miss Yale, or placed in the ‘TT* mail box at the Kappa Alpha Theta house.
During the next two weeks sorority alumnae will be contacted, and the full amount will be totaled at the end of that time.
The Victory Chest booth, located in front of the Administration building, -will be open during the day for aU students who wish to contribute.
All coeds who have volunteered their services in the booth are urged to be present at their alloted time.
