Tarnopol slates USSR lecture
Analyzing social security in the Soviet Union, Dr. Lester Tarnopol, lecturer in engineering, will deliver an address on the USSR at 11 a.m. today in 243 Old College, based on information he gathered during a tour of Russia in 1937.
Dr Tarnopol points out that the results of Russia's extensive social security plan have more than justified the large sums of money spent on the project.
Russians, according to Dr. Tarnopol, receive a variety of benefits from their social security program, which was in effect during his travels In that country. They include the fields of health, recreation, education, and social insurance.
“Scholarships are awarded promising factory workers in the techni cal and engineering fields.” says Dr. Tarnopol, “and even children benefit from clubhouses provided them in all the larger cities.”
Dr. Tarnopol declares that the facts prove it was superior Russian mechanical equipment, and not the severe Russian winter, that finally knocked out the German armies during the war. The fact that this equipment was able to operate in any kind of weather provided the telling blow to the Nazis.
Exploding the myth that everyone receives the same wage in Russia, Dr. Tarnopol says that many Russians earn large sums of money, an example of which is in the field of writing where authors receive substantial royalties on their works, and income generally is apportioned according to the amount and quality of work performed.

Phrateres pledges to hold snow party

Any employment for which draft boards have granted deferment will be considered as war service.
Candidates for war service scholarships will be required to have completed only one year, instead of the customary two years, of college or university work before applying. Marriage will not prevent an applicant from being accepted.
Two years is the minimum period for which a Rhodes scholarship can be awarded. A student, desiring to stay for a third year, will be awarded a scholarship only if he presents a definite program of study for that period which is satisfactory to the Rhodes trustees and to his college.
A candidate to be eligible must be a male citizen of the United States with at least five years residence in this country, and unmarried, unless application is being made for the war service scholarship.
War service candidates, though, must have been born in or after Oct. 1, 1915, and before Oct. 1, 1928. Candidates for the ordinary scholarship must have been bom on or after Oct. 1, 1922, and prior to Oct. 1, 1928.
By the time of the application, the applicant must have at least a junior standing at some recognized, degree-granting university or college of the United States. War service candidates need only have a sophomore standing.
Some definite quality of distinction, whether in intellect, character, or personality is the most important requirement for a Rhodes scholarship.
Only two scholarships will be granted in the district to which SC is assigned by the Rhodes committee. The district includes, besides California, Nevada. Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico.
SEOUL, Korea. Jan. 14.—<U.E>— Secretary of War Robert Patterson said today that half of the 807.000 U. S. troops in the Pacific on Jan. 1 would be at home or homeward bound by May.

Faculty club to hear coach
Speaking on the training of navy and marine flyers when he addresses the Men's Faculty club luncheon today at noon. Justin M. “Sam” Barry, SC basketball coach, will relate some personal experiences he had while connected with this program.
While stationed on a small southwestern Pacific island, Coach Barry received numerous directives from the navy department to instruct pilots on the technique of parachute landing. He was hampered by lack of factual information, but managed to rig up a parachute harness which he suspended from the rafters of a large hangar.
His instructions were based primarily on theory, of course, until his assistant, Lt. Cmdr. Jim Smith, former Trojan and a member of the swimming team in 1929, volunteered to test the ideas that had been developed on land-in water.
Prior to this experiment, it had been thought that a pilot should fall free from the parachute as he approached the surface of the water. Smith discovered the hard way that height above the water is a pretty difficult item to judge. He fell about forty feet and landed with terrific impact.
After this Barry taught his fly-continued on Page 4)
Dean to discuss Religious book
Students seeking a basic philosophy of life, and one which is practicable will be interested in the book interpretation by Dr. Irl G. Whitchurch, dean of the School of Religion, which will be presented under the auspices of the Council of Religion at 3:15 today in the art and lecture room of the University library, according to Don Gibbs, council president.
Using Eugene W. Lyman’s book, “Religion and the Issues of Life,” as a basis for his discussion, the dean will show how vital religion is in the lives of students. He will cite the fundamental issues which are part of every student's spiritual life.
Dr. Whitchurch’s religion is not one of a sectarian nature, accord-ding to Gibbs, since he came to religion through the study of all the philosophies. He will show students how to find a religion which will help to enrich their lives.
Dr. Whitchurch will not follow the book too literally, but will attempt to make this a subjective interpre tation, said Harriet Kubby, chairman of the book interpretation series. After the discussion by the speaker, there will be a question period.
All Trojans, Faculty, and their friends are Invited to the lecture, said Gibbs. “Dr. Whitchurch has already become a good friend of the Council of Religion and of SC students who know him, and those who hear his talk will be treating themselves to an interesting hour.”
Dr. Whitchurch will be introduced by Tom Sherrard, member of the education commission of the council, according to Virginia Owens, chairman of the commission. Sherrard met Whitchurch at the Big Bear planning conference where the latter was an adviser.

Preliminary announcement of the program under which American college students may spend their junior year at the University of Zurich in Switzerland has been made and once more gives to students an opportunity to study abroad.
The Junior Year in Zurich plan for 1946-47 offers to qualified students a year of accredited academic work combined with the advantages of spending a year in a foreign cul-1 tural center.
The tentative calendar for the junior year has scheduled early I September as the sailing time from New York. Sept. 16-28 will be devoted to orientation and language work, and the first semester will begin on Sept. 30 and ; run until Feb. 7. The second semester classes will start Feb. 24 and continue until June 30. Proposed vacations with field trips will include two weeks at Christmas in Italy, two weeks between semesters in. Germany and Austria, and one week at Easter in Pans.
Two years of college German or its equivalent, approval of the stu-
quisites for membership in the Junior Year in Zurich.
According to the announcement, the committee desires to find students who will represent the best of American higher education and life. Young people selected will be closely observed by both foreign and American educational authorities eager to work out proper educational adjustments. Students are also reminded that the work abroad demands ability far above the average of American college students.
The Junior Year program is conducted with the cooperation of the officials of the Swiss government and in arrangement with the institutions of higher learning in Zurich. The Junior Year organization func-eions as a service organization between the participating American colleges and the cooperating Swiss institutions. The administration of the program is entrusttd to an American director. American, awiss-American, and Swiss tutors aid the student in obtaining what he needs from his year abroad to meet the academic requirements of the curriculum he is pursuing.
Expenses for the year, estimated as of Dec 1, 1945, range from
$1650 to §1950. The combined fee includes round-trip travel from New York to Zurich, tuition, books, activities, and board and room. Additional expenses include vacation money and provide for incidental expenditures.
The Junior Year has no scholar-! ship funds available for 1946-47; j consequently no financial assistance can be granted. Prospective students j who are studying under the G.l. bill I of rights are invited to take up the matter of tuition adjustments with the director.
Besides the required German courses the program of studies includes art, economics, French, German literature, government, nistory, political science, Italian, music, and Spanish.
A summer school of European studies will sflso be held in Zurich, the scheduled dates being from July 2 to Aug. 16.
Further information about the plan and qualifications may be obtained by contacting Dr Harold von Hofe, head of the German department at SC, or by writing to the director of the plan, Dr Edmund E. Miller, 1123 Eutaw Street, Baltimore 1, Md.
