In an effort to avoid another mad rush of the type that resulted from overzealous SC students attempting to get ducats for the Bob Hope show, tickets for the huge student rally in Bovard auditorium tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. will be passed out both this afternoon and tomorrow in the arcade of Administration according to Buzz Forward, Knight president whose men will handle the task.
Tickets for the rally, which features Paul Martin and his orchestra, will be limited to the capacity of the auditorium. “This means that approximately 1000 tickets will go, starting at 2 p.m. today in front of Bovard hall, and
body identification cards,” stated Forward.
“It should be clearly understood that as soon as all tickets for this afternoon are gone, no more will be passed out until Thursday,” emphasized Forward. "No student need cut classes in order to get tickets on Thursday, as everyone will have a chance on both days,” concluded the Knight head.
Besides Martin's band, a variety of other entertaining acts will be presented to round out the rally.

Marshall to be envoy to China
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27— (U.E)—
President Truman tonight appointed Gen. George C. Marshall his special envoy to China after Ambassador Patrick C. Hurley resigned with a blistering charge that professional diplomats in the state department are sabotaging the Roose-velt-Truman principles of world democracy.
The surprise appointment came less than a week after Marshall’s resignation as army chief of staff, the post from which he guided the nation to victory in two wars. There had been reports that he might succeed fleet Admiral William D. Leahy as personal chief of staff to the president.
Hurley’s resignation came as a complete surprise as lt was up to the state department to announce his resignation. Instead, he announced it himself and issued a statement to the public.
At the time Hurley announced his resignation, it had not been received suits &nd ^ fQr the men wiU be at the White House. Presidential, ___
Hermosa-Biltmore scene of all-university dance Saturday night
Saturday night, the climax of SC’s week of Homecoming frolics, Trojans will toast their queen at an all-U dance to be held at the Hermosa Biltmore overlooking the blue Pacific.
“We have been fortunate in being able to obtain Ted Straeter and his fine group of musicians for this exciting
event,” said Jerry Hoytt, chairman of the committee for the dance. “This popular orchestra has filled long engagements at the Mark Hop- | kins in San Francisco and the Los Angeles Biltmore Bowl,” he added. I Bette Allen, decoration committee chairman, promises that the festive decorations for this occasion will be "even more dynamic ! than those on our fraternity and sorority row.” Miss Allen reminds us not to forget the row of huge windows which offers a view7 of the ocean.
According to Hoytt, the Hermosa Biltmore will offer all of its facilities to Saturday's victory dancers to ensure the success of the climaxing affair of Homecoming week.
“All fraternities have been given equal number of bids, and the non-organization men will be able to purchase tickets at the cashier’s window,” declared Joe Holt, dance committee member. “The number of tickets is positively limited, so all those interested in the event should see their fraternity representative or the cashier as soon as convenient,” Holt added. According to Bette Allen, the decoration committee will spend all day Thursday decorating the ballroom in the Hermosa Biltmore for the dance. Members of her committee include:
Sylvia Lovell. Dorsey Payne, Ernie Garcia. Julia Luckey, Margie Ross, Pat Tapscott, Adrienne Lingle, Annette Webb. Nan Wagner. Shirley De Young. Kay Sullivan, Pat Mor-oney.
Chris Christianson, Virginia Jel-lum, Becky Sharp, Betty Sherman, Pat Matthieson. Arlene Couse, Avon-ne Moore, Carol Drew, Joan Koska, Eunice Jack, and Doris Barber.

Troy s Victory Loan lags during SC drive

This is Last Chance week. To a lot of people, it’s just a week of openhouses, lost sleep, too many committee meetings, and politics in every direction, but to the rest of the country, a body of land surrounding Los Angeles, it’s the Last Chance to build a true peace via the Victory Loan drive.

the Victory Booth hit the all time low of 60 cents yesterday, the mass conscience of Troy must have cringed visibly. The student body willingly handed over its weekly allowance in an effort to make Homecoming all it should be. but when Trojans passed the bond booth, they lifted their Grecian noses and forgot that there is more than one way to build up the name of the university.
"If for no other reason, we can buy and solicit bonds in the spirit of competition,” said Ginny Brumfield, drive chairman. i‘Sororities and fraternities should look to their laurels, because Chi Omega is already out in front with S3000 to its credit.”
“Too many of us can’t see the point in a bond drive in peacetime,” Miss Brumfield continued. ' ‘ Few realize that getting back to peacetime is only one billion dollars less expensive than fighting the war.”
On August 14, the war expense was 21 billion dollars. Hostilities ceased, but the machine in motion was too big to stop also. Millions of men are still waiting to come home, and when they finally get Jiere each of them will need help, mental and physical, medical and educational.
At Birmingham hospital alone, over 1000 patients are sleeping in army cots :n the halls, and the 22 hospitals in southern California fill only half the need. This is true all over the country.
“The GI bill of rights has proved its worth, but it costs money and the national budget can't take it without the help of everyone,” Miss Brumfield said."
Dean offers program help
Educational counseling will be provided for lower-clivision students through a series of conferences beginning Thursday at 3:15 p.m. in 206 Administration, announced Dr. Albert Raubenheimer, executive dean of the university.
University requirements for lower division and upper division majors in specific fields will be discussed by Dean Raubenheimer. Students desiring to secure information on the nature of programs offered by various departments and schools of the university may atteifd. An opportunity for individual questions will be given at the end of the conference.
It is suggested that students look at the lower division requirements in the catalog, and if they are preprofessional (law, medicine, dental) they should consult their curricula in order to ask pertinent questions j at the meetings.
Freshman and sophomore students will have an opportunity to get personal advice which previously has been available only to junior and senior students who were advised by the head of the department in their major.
Paul E. Hadley of the department of international relations will be introduced by Dean Raubenheimer at the conference to be held tomorrow. Mr. Hadley will arrange for interviews with students desiring individual advice.

Nips strip Emp; powers reduced as diet controls
TOKYO, Nov. 27—<U.R>—A cab-' inet committee revising the Japanese constitution tonight was reported to have decided to strip Emperor Hirohito of most of his power.
The newspaper Mainichi said that the cabinet committee, acting under orders from Gen. Douglas MacArthur to democratize the Japanese constitution, has agreed in principle on reducing the emperor’s power and turning over most of his prerogatives to the Diet.
The revised constitution draft will be presented at the next extraordinary Diet session after the general elections scheduled for early next year. The present 18-day session, which opened today was ordered by Hirohito to make revisions in the election law which would triple the electorate by granting universal sufferage.
Mainichi said that the committee would complete the constitutional draft some time in January. It reported that articles one to four regarding the sovereignty of the emperor would be left untouched but that others would be revised. Among the powers the emperor will lose will be control over the army and navy, because there will be no military organization in Japan; and the power to make war and conclude treaties.

According to David M. Wilson, program committee chairman, those wishing to do so may bring their own lunches or come in time to hear the speaker at 12:30 p.m/

Campus groups to vie for originality award as alumni return
One of th most typically collegiate of all SC Homecoming events, Taxi day, officially starts this morning. This year’s exhibition of the world’s dizziest and daffiest trends in transportation, the first possible since the beginning of the war, promises to be a circus of pedestrian nightmares.

accurate, campus citizens will undoubtedly be seeing pink pachyderms before the day is over.
According to Jeanne Crider, general chairman of the celebration. It will be impossible for the band to participate in the parade as it was originally scheduled to do.
Contesting conveyances will drive or be pulled down University avenue past the judges’ stand, after which Mrs. Janice Woods Bryan, assistant professor in the School of Music, and Reid Lage McClung, dean of the College of Commerce and Business Administration, who are acting judges, will declare their selection of the most original vehicle.
The award, a small wooden and silver wagon bearing a plaque upon which is engraved each year’s winner, will be presented at that time.
Permission has been granted by Comdr. George Palmer for naval reserve officers training corps personnel to purchase tickets and to ride in the taxis, and Jeanne Crider has stated. “All students wishing to ride during the parade will be permitted to do so, if they have tickets.”
Tickets for rid^s went on sale yesterday noon, and will be available to purchasers all day. The sorority or dormitory selling the most ride* will receive a money order from some downtown department store. It may be used to buy something for their group.

Searles discusses world peace
“War is not inevitable, but a lasting peace depends upon modified and improved human and social conditions which may, in the next hundred years or more, result in an international society,” explained Dr. Herbert L. Searles in his address to the philosophy forum yesterday afternoon.
Dr. Searles, professor of philosophy, outlined three approaches to the task of achieving international society:
First, through the understanding of human nature and learning how to improve, through education and through individual characters and personal attitudes of our rising generations.
Second, through social research in human relationships involving cultural and economic resources and their relation to world populations as a basis for a program
which will relieve, at least, the greatest economic tensions existing today.
Finally, through the development of the United Nations organization and its counterpart in international law.
“We must recognize at the outset that peace is not a static condition in which we can rest once the active phase of the conflict has passed,” said Dr. Searles. “Peace is not as dynamic in the spectacular sense as war, but it is exceedingly dynamic in another important sense.
“It is during the periods of armistice between wars when tensions are acmumulated, when conditions are created in the economic and social arenas which disturb the equilibrium, and for which correction and alleviation is sought through recourse to war.” In discussing the need lor edu-
cation of our enemies. Dr. Searles believes that we must proceed n the basis of fact that both Germany and Japan have been defeated in a war of their own devising. Since such extreme propaganda methods were employed for moulding the enemy youth, some similar methods most be employed, to a degree, m their reeducation.	, Speaking of ecenomic resources and populations, Dr. Searles said that atomic energy may provide power resources in unlimited quantities. These quantities present methods of artificial production of substitutes and methods of revitalizing exhausted soils. Thus the whole problem of over-population, which is today held to be of paramount importance in causing tension and international strife, may become irrevelant within a few years.
