Thus read the numerous posters on campus advertising the social function sponsored by the student council of religion to be held Saturday from 1 to 6 p.m. at Griffith park.
The picnic, an annual affair, is-----
Here it is again, by popular request, a weather feature: For some blankety-blank reason each year has a warm season. This “warm season” is the result of a meeting by Sol, Neptune, and UCLA. The senate of SC voted against having hot weather this week, but they were overruled by the Bruins. (They have more people on their senate, and besides that— Old Sol was on their side.)
So, as a protest measure, the Trojan senate met at 4:35 this morning and drafted the following resolution:
1.	Be it resolved that classes be held on ye olde Sorrento beach.
2.	Be is resolved that we don’t even have classes.
3.	Be is resolved that the Student Union have more ice water.
4.	Be the hot weather spell be dissolved.
5.	Amen.

Hirohito urges Nipponese Diet to win trust'
TOKYO. Sept. 5.—<T.P>—Emperor Hirohito opened the first postwar session of the Japanese diet today with an imperial rescript commanding his people to “win the confidence of the world" and reminding them that they are still bound in “service to the state.”
Clad in the full khaki uniform of Grand Marshal of the Japanese army, including medals and spurs, the emperor read his 266-word rescript in person during a brief 25-minute opening of the 88th exera-ordinary session.
The lavish diet building, which stands unmarked in the shattered heart of Tokyo, was heavily guarded by police as Hirohito was escorted from his palace a mile away to the joint session of the
house of peers and house of representatives.
Flanked by his brothers, two princes of the blood, the emperor rose from his golden throne in the huge rectangular room in the house of peers at 11:05 a.m. (10:05 p.m, Monday EWT) to read his rescript.
Allied correspondents were forbidden to attend the opening session at which the emperor appeared and were forced to obtain the text of his rescript from an official. approved version broadcast by radio Tokyo.
“It is our desire that our people will surmount the manifold hardships and trials attending termination of the war, make manifest the innate glory of Japan's national policy.*

Two weeks from Friday night the Trojans will clash with UCLA in the coliseum ... a week later SC will go north to Berkeley to play California . . . and then Oregon, St. Mary’s, San Diego navy, Washington, UCLA, and California again. And then ... on to the Rose bowl. If you want to be in on all SC’s home games, follow the Trojan band to the coliseum each Saturday, yell for the Cravath-mejt as they pour out of the tunnel before the game, and scream when the final score is posted and SC leads . . . buy a stqdent activity book today.
Besides the tickets which will entitle you to admission to all SC’s home games, the activity book contains admissions to all-U activities ... dances, digs, rallies, tickets for track, baseball, and basketball season . . . and this year a special feature ... a ticket good for the 1946 El Rodeo, Trojan annual, which Clarice Thurman declares “will be of better than pre-war quality and will be out on time.”
The student activity book ... is the best bargain any university can offer . . . and SC is offering it. A subscription for entertainment and athletics for a year . . . and a record of that year for your own in June. That’s the student activity book. The cost is $11 . . .

Trojan band calls for 100 recruits
The background of the Trojan band has been an illustrious one. The national popularity of the Trojan fight song can be partly attribued to the manner in which it has been played by cardinal and gold bands of the past. This season should prove, once more, that the noted Trojan spirit is still
alive.

As an added incentive to swell the ranks of the Trojan band, “free admission to the football games, a seat on the 50-yard line, the privilege of wearing the snappy band uniform, and the satisfaction that comes from knowing one is contributing to school spirit in a big way" are some of the benefits one gains by membership in this organization, said Ralph Chadwick, student manager of the group.
Seventy-two musicians are needed to insure a full complement of 100 members to help launch the 1945 grid season Sept. 21 when the Trojan gridmen meet
UCLA in the opener. Anyone who has had experience in a band, or playing a band instrument, is asked to also help launch the gridiron season by becoming a member of the band.

No applicant shall be approved who has acquired less than 90 days of active service, unless he has % service-connected disability or some extenuating circumstances exist.
