Defending the negative side of e proposition will be Eric Jul-rt and Frank Manckiewicz rep-jsenting the Westwood campus.
ST RECORDS
juld and Konigsberg both have ae of the finest debating records this area and the latter is pro-bly the outstanding collegiate de-jter on the Pacific coast. Although Julbert and Manckie-icz have not won as many tour-Mnents as the SC duo, they re-^tly won the coveted Pi Kappa lta regional debate championship considered a most-cauable team, t ADITION REVIVED "This debate revives the tradi-|on of platform debating at SC, which prior to the war univer-ty representatives met teams from :ch colleges as Harvard, Yale, the niversity of Chicago, and Ox-rd, England,” declared Dr. Nich-
iS.
Konigsberg, speaking for the SC m. believes that the need for ?e trade will assume even greater ;iportance as the task of recon-ucting the world’s economy prog--sses.
[ONSUMERS CONSIDERED
"By enabling the consumer to y goods of the best quality and the lowest price, without being indert'd by tariff barriers, the idard of living of the people of e world can be raised,” he main-tins.
The SC speaker also asserts that le elimination of economic nation-!!sm which has been fostered by jade barriers will not only streng-en the economic structure of the rid, but will counteract the dan-rous tendencies toward political ationalism which are growing in any nations today.
On the opposite side of the ques-on, Manckiewicz believes that free ade is a dangerous instrument •r it will admit the importation of >ods to America made by cheap •reign labor and would eliminate nation's ability to protect it-lf against foreign economic dom-ation.

Lombard Tells War Secrets to Faculty
^resident's Office Notice
Ko regular class sessions will be lid on Decoration day, May 30, ■6. It is hoped that special ex-Jcises held in this area will be kpported generously by the en-niversity community.
IL B. VON KLEINSMID.
Closely guarded as a military secret during the war, an explanation of the scientific research in aviation medicine conducted under government contract on the SC campus was given to the members of the Men's Faculty club yesterday by Dr. Charles Lombard, associate professor of aviation medicine.
“The human centrifuge is an instrument for subjecting humans to increased gravitational forces,” Dr. Lombard explained. “There are two general types of centrifuge: one, operated by a powerful motor of from 3000 to 4000 horse power, and the other which makes use of an inertia wheel. The one at SC, which is the largest of its kind in the United States, is of the latter type.”
Dr. Lombard declared that the development of the G-suit, better known to fighter pilots as the “Zoot-suit,” through experimentation conducted on the centrifuge, saved scores of pilot’s lives by suc-
icessfully combating “blackouts” in flight.
“The G-suit enables pilots to overcome the pull of increased gravity or acceleration known as the G force,” Dr. Lombard said. | “It gave our flyers a distinct advantage over enemy pilots because it prevented the occurrence of blackouts during dive-bombing and in steep banks and turns during combat maneuvers and dog fights,” he continued.
During his lecture Dr. Lombard passed two types of G-suits among the audience. One was the first perfected by the Army which was subsequently superseded by the second suit shown.
The new suit weighs less than three pounds and contains five nylon air bladders which are auto-matcally inflated by inertia valves. These bladders are located at the flyer's abdomen, thighs, and calves.
Dr. Lombard declared that as the (Continued on Page 4)

The alleged campus humor magazine is planning to bring forth several more issues in the near future in rapid-fire order. A number of suitable stories and articles are needed for these issues.
“Our present policy calls for material stressing SC humor,” Editor Knox pointed out. “There are enough complicated situations existing on campus to furnish ample material for some enterprising authors.”

Separate sheets have been provided in the 'Trovet office, third floor of the Student Union, to be filled out by students desiring rides and by those who can transport riders either tc or from the campus, announced Jesse Unruh, corresponding secretary, who has been appointed to head the transportation drive.
Those students who can convey others to or from school are asked to come to the Trovet office, which is open from 11 to 1:10 each day, and supply the information which is requested on the questionnaires as soon as possible.
Students desiring rides may then take the data furnished and contact the automobile driver. If they are not immediately able to find transportation they may fill out the blank which will be provided for them so that car drivers may contact .them.
Unruh said, “We have designated certain places on campus where students who desire rides home should stand.” The four designated places are the southwest corner of 34th street and University avenue, the northwest corner of University and Exposition, in front of the (Continued on Page 3)
Outlining the widely discussed topic of emotional disorders and their treatment, Dr. David H. Fink, prominent Los Angeles psychiatrist, will speak this afternoon at 3:15 in the art and lecture room of the University library on the “Problems of Our Time in Relation to Anxiety Neurosis.”
Dr. Fink brings to the lectern knowledge gained in several fields of medicine and psychiatry, each of which he deems necessary to the study of ,the human mind.
After receiving his B.A. and M.A. from the University of Michigan, Dr. Fink was graduated as a Doctor of Medicine from the Detroit College of Medicine and Surgery. He served in the first World war, taught sociology at the University of Michigan, and did social work for several years.
For eight years, Dr. Fink served on the full-time staff of the Veterans Administration hospitals where he examined and treated thousands of veterans suffering from nervous disabilities.
In the forward to his book, “Release from Nervous Tension,” published during the war, Dr. Fink declares, “Nervous tensions do not exist in a vacuum. They do not exist exclusively within the nervous system. They exist within the organs of the body. Nervous tension is physical.”
TENSION FROM NECESSITY According to Dr. Fink, contemporary civilization brings about a tension from necessity. All people feel this strain to some extent but it is those who are weaker than the rest who succumb to it and fall heir to the many nervous ills which are a product of our civilization.
Dr. Fink will show how restrictions placed on man from childhood, and the pace endured during the life-time, often result in chaos for the individual.
Many of the views Dr. Fink will deliver are also to be expounded in his new book, “Social System Versus Nervous System.”

Kotler Warns Against Last-Minute Balloting
Rivaling torrid prewar battles, Troy’s political scene goes into official action with the opening of the polls at 8:30 this morning as three different factions forecast landslide balloting for their candidates.
Yesterday was marked by heated activity and talk in ail corners of the campus with candidates making impromptu •speeches, issuing and accepting challenges of all sorts, lining up last minute support, and finally foreseeing walkaway victories.
Most comment centered about the ASSC presidential race in which three candidates, Dick Gilson, Jim Mitchell, and Frank Snyder are entered. Running a close second is the hotly contested AMS presidential balloting in which Joe Holt is pitted against Jack Nichols.

Fisher Airs Schmitt Novel
Junior Class
. . council will meet today at 2:15 p.m. in 418 Student Union, according to Don Blank, president.
by Pat Klune
“David the King” could well be titled “Quest for Peace,” according to Dr. Willis Fisher, professor of old testament literature, when he reviewed Gladys Schmitt’s best-selling religious novel yesterday afternoon in the University art and lecture room.
David is delineated as no saint, neither is he a complete renegade. He is primarily a human being concerned with the meaning of life. In common with mankind, David is struggling for inner poise in a restless, chaotic world. Miss Schmitt paints no real triumph, but a hard-won serenity for the king at his death.
NOVEL SUMMARIZED
The novel traces Davidfc rejection of Saul,*his increasing renown as a warrior, flight from the mad Saul, gradual gaining of a following after many vicissitudes, enthronement as king, handling of persons
and problems in government, and the palace intrigues and political connivings until David's death.
“Emotion and feeling are in Miss Schmitt's book, but it is not overly sentimental,” Fisher analyzed. “The material is given a reverential treatment and the flavor of antiquity is present through the author's constant use of apt phrases and terms.” SERIES OF PORTRAITS
The bible authority describes “David the King” as a series of portraits, with little real continuity, aside from the story of David himself. David’s numerous loves are individual characters in their own right—none really possessed him, for all were secondary to David’s country and well-beloved Jonathan.
“Gladys Schmitt, who is assistant professor of English at Carnegie Tech, reveals high promise. She seems to be feeling her way into deeper, richer, and more significant lanes of thought as the book pro-
gresses. Treatment is imaginative, but always within the limits of plausibility,” continued Fisher.
ARTHUR S PHILOSOPHY
Miss Schmitt instills her own rather unusual philosophy throughout the story. More of the Oriental thought is reflected than Jewish or Occidental. There is practiced artistry in her style, says Fisher, who was once himself an English instructor.
“David, like a great many of us, busied himself in affairs of state to forget his own shortcomings. He has plenty of lusty ego, although on occasions he could be sensitive and tender. In thi* correction of the popular picture of David, the book serves as a guide for the solution to problems which are common to everyone. Notwithstanding this, the writer is neither glib, nor preachy,” concluded the interpreter.
Mitchell Named Prexy in D.T. Straw Voting
Jim Mitchell for student body president, Doral Bennett for vice-president, Joe Holt for AMS president, and Bob Peck for senior president were the choices indicated by a Daily Trojan straw ballot yesterday.
Most persons contacted concurred in the belief that there is little to choose in the past records of the student body presidential candidates, but on the basis of platforms presented thus far, Mitchell, Kappa Sigma and fraternity nominee, received the nod from the voters.
Miss Bennett, Alpha Gamma Delta, received a substantial margin over Betty Lawhead, ISA candidate, in the vice-presidential race. Miss Bennett’s record includes active participation in her sorority as well as in student government.
The race for AMS gave Holt a narrow lead over Jack Nichols. Holt's leadership of the Trojan Knights was cited by his backers as reason for his showing. Bob Peck, ISA, edged out Pat Hillings in the senior class contest.
Percentage ol voles for contestants were as follows: For ASSC president; James Mitchell, 57%; \ Frank Snyder, 24%; Dick Gilson, 19%. For vice-president; Doral Bea-nett, 81%; Betty Lawhead, 19%*
