Houk, Wildman to Further NSO Commission Activities
John Houk and Paul Wildman, erstwhile political enemies, have resolv.ed their differences and are working together in an effort to further the achievements of the Commission on International Student Activities. It is the only one of the five commissions of the National Student organizations which has headquarters for the California-Nevada region on this campus.

The commission is presently considering financial arrangements for that delegate while at the festival.
The festival promises to make a vast contribution toward the realization of its goal, international friendship, and world reconstruction. At Prague there will be a month-long program of discussions, exhibits of cultural progress, and entertainment participated in by delegates of more than 40 nations.
The par^.cular interest of the NSO commission, which has its headquarters on this campus, centers around student activities of an international nature, and especially on student activities of the far east.
Both Houk and Wildman also urge students attending summer session who would like to work with the commission to leave their names and addresses in the ASSC President’s office or the IR office.

Chancellor von KleinSmid pointed out that at one lime everyone's world consisted of his own home j and yard. Through the passing of1 time this was enlarged to include towns and cities, and eventually ' some experience made people real- j ize that they were citizens of coun- ; tries and states.
FAIL TO EXPAND “It’s at this time that some fail to expand and discover that they are members or a nation.” Chancellor von KleinSmid went on. “Still more do not continue to enlarge their national viewpoint. The next step is to realize that we are citizens of the world and are at home on any campus in the world. We must acquaint ourselves with new ways.”

Wahlquist Takes Vote As Outstanding Knight
Connie Wahlquist has been voted the outstanding Knight for 1947.
This award was decided upon last Friday night during a special meeting of the Trojan Knights at the Hollywood Athletic club, and was announced yesterday by Ernie Wilson, president-elect.
With more than 60 members voting for the outstanding man award of the Trojan Knights, the precedent of bearing the title for a year, rather than on the semester basis, has been revived.

Wahlquist served a& president of the Knights in 1943. Among other offices he held, was that of secretary of the College of Engineering.
He originally entered SC in 1940 from George Washington High school, where he was also a member and president of a knight group. ‘Tre attended SC off-and-on for
nearly seven years, and have enjoyed every minute of it,” voiced the honored student.
SC has been the source of much happiness to Connie Wahlquist. It was here that he met Marilyn Wood, Kappa Delta alumna. They have recently celebrated their third wedding anniversary.
PROGENITOR?
Any children?
"Not yet,” said the brown-eyed Knight.
Planning to work with technical sales in chemical engineering after graduation, his immediate plans call for an extended rest after completion of finals.
The Trojan Knights will hereafter carry on their activities on a year basis, it was announced by Guy Claire. Knight president.
Wahlquist and his shapely legs can be seen at 11:30 today, as he pilots a horse and buggy about the campus for the Skull and Dagger limb initiation.

Raubenheimer, educational vice-president, acting as presiding chairman, These people are survivors of four previous rounds and have eliminated a field of approximately 900 entrants enrolled in the 30ab speech classes.

AWARDS GIVEN
All 11 finalists will be awarded medals and the firsts and seconds in each division will have their names engraved on a plaque and will be given a $10 cash award.

Each speaker has spoken against approximately 25 other people and has been judged by two audiences and a group of expert judges composed of graduate students of speech, speech instructors, and varsity debaters.

Dean Gives Keynote Talk
by Shirley Barden
Marked by tense moments and excited applause, the Associated Women Students last night rewarded their leaders and outstanding studente with appointments and honors.
“Let Him Bear the Palm Who Merits It,'’ the motto that symbolizes the Trojan spirit, vyas the theme for the evening. Keynote was sounded by Dean Hall Moreland, who addressed the assembled women students in a keynote speech on the traditional motto.
Seated by organizations, the coeds cheered as names were announced for honors. On the stage were seated the 20-odd faculty women and students wrho presented the honors Climactic moment of the assembly was the traditional Mortar Board tapping led by President Anne Pearce. Bovard’s lights were dimmed as black-robed members stepped from the stage into the audience to tap the 12 selections for membership.
As outgoing assembly chairman for AWS, Lois Rau, who is also newly elected president, had charge of the arrangements involved in staging the traditional Recognition assembly.
To expedite the giving of awards by professional sororities, such honors were all accorded by Virginia Francis, president of the embryonic Professional Panhellenic council.
Surprises kept audience interest at a high level throughout the presentation ceremonies, for, with the exception of a few awards, all honors had been carefully guarded secrets until their pronouncement from the stage of Bovard.
Up-and-coming coed leaders as well as recognized BWOCs were recipients of honors during the evening, which represented a start in activities for some women and the close of university service for others.
After the last award was given, all stdbd and sang Auld Lang Syne for graduating women who will leave Troy in June. The Alma Mater was sung as the closing event for the Recognition assemblv.
Another such assembly will not be presented until May of 1948. During the war, the accelerated program of academic study made it advisable to make the Recognition assembly a semi-annual event. With the return of regular two-term years, the AWS caoinet has voted to return the Trojane “academy award” session to its traditional yearly basis.

The cfcoir was organized in the tradition of an earlier group under John Smallman and had the object of presenting the great choral works of the masters unaccompanied. Putting emphasis on purity of tone, the group was reorganiaed in 1945 by Dr. Hirt and since then has taken an active part in campus and community affairs.
