its headquarters near the Griffith park planetarium. The society has been referred to by the press as “a permanent center of philo sophical learning in the western world.’’
Concerning his lecture, the speak er said “adversity cannot be faced by the individual who is without, a philosophy of life that really jus tifies the reason for living.
IDEALISM NEEDED “A nation is an inert mass also,” Mr. Hall continued, “if it has no appropriate and adequate idealism Any culture that is materialistic cannot survive because it lacks a vital principle.
“Socrates pointed the way to an adequate philosophy of life, and try to demonstrate how his teach ings may be applied to the problems of modem living,” the philosopher stated.
The speaker was privately tutored, never having had public formal academic instruction. At the age of 18, he began lecturing on philosophical theses.
MANY WORDS He has written 72 books, more than 1000 magazine articles, delivered more than 6000 public lec tures, and made 500 radio broadcasts. Most of these works have been on Oriental and Occidental philosophical-religious subjects.

Other assorted campus big shots are Manuel Real who was chairman of the homecoming dance; Shelly Schoneberg, assistant yell leader; Jim Thomberg, Squire, Bob Woods, and Jerry Haines.
Standing before a microphone at the Freedom Train site with the spectacle of American freedom before her, a young woman made an appeal last week for world cooperation and understanding among students.
The girl was Ruth O'Neil, graduate student at UCLA and traveling secretary for the World Student Service fund. The WSSF is an organization devoted to solving the urgent needs of students in all countries.
PROVIDES AID'
In an interview Miss O'Neil stressed that the WSSF aims at providing material aid and scholarships for those whose quest for education is limited by hardship and lack of facilities.
Recently returned from a selfsupported tour of Europe with other representatives of the WSSF last summer, she said that students in European countries are fighting a difficult battle for their education.
Need for textbooks and other materials is urgent and is secondary only to the need for means of existence. stated Miss O'Neil.
FILLS NEEDS “It is the policy of the WSSF to fill these needs in locations where facilities will benefit the greatest number of students. Since its advent 10 years ago, the organization has provided a large amount of technical materials, many hostels, and libraries which have made It possible for thousands of students to obtain an education,” she continued.
A goal of $1,000,000 has been set for the WSSF campaign in the United States. A $2,000,000 total is to be raised throughout the world. There are 19 other countries participating in the program.
PLENTY OF SUPPORT Support in this country is obtained from religious and social groups, one of which is the National Students association.
“Students in other countries are enrolled in the program to the fullest extent,” Miss O’Neil stated. “In some countries aid is being received by students who are at the same time contributing to the fund.”
Miss O’Neil was imperative in stating that the organization is made up by both faculty and student members, all of whom participate in operation and distribution.
17 PER CENT STAYS HERE “Of the total funds raised in this country, 16.7 per cent will go for education and operation in the United States. The administrative expenses of the WSSF will not exceed 6 per cent of all contributions received from all countries,” she stated.
' The Trojan Chest drive, which begins on campus Mar. 1 with an SC quota of $30,000, will contribute 35 per cent of what is received to the WSSF.
TBPi Fraternity Elects Officers
Tau Beta Pi, national honorary engineering fraternity, Frida? announced reseuis of election ot officers for the coming year.
Officers elected are Robert M Jcrda, president; Paul Judson, vice-president; Lee Philipps, recording secretary; Phillip Fleeman, corresponding secretary; Robert Riddell, treasurer; and George Tchillinga-rian, cataloguer.
A major future project of the fraternity is the acquisition of a bust of the late Philip S. Biegler, former dean of the College of Engineering. The bust is to be placed in the engineering building.

drive, has been erected in front of the Administration building, and is being handled by Wendy Harbach president of the College of Architecture. and Don Gill.
The YWCA share of the funds is to be earmarked for use in the building of a proposed student social center, to be located presumably south of the Student Union. FUNDS HANDLED Trojan Chest contributions to the WSSF are to be handled through a student allocation board with the advice of the SC student executive council and certain members of the faculty.
In addition to the contribution drive itself, the Trojan Chest is sponsoring a series of other’events designed to make SC students “chest conscious.” There is the Bob Hope show tomorrow night, the Trojanality contest voting on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the Squires’ talent show,” on Friday, at which time the identity of “Mr. Chest” will be revealed. Squires denied last Friday, contrary to persistent rumors, that they also intend to have a “Miss Chest” contest.
No clues have developed over the weekend that would assist students to determine the identity of the elusive character Mr. Chest. The will-o-the-w’isp personality who has loaned his services for the Squires talent show, Mar. 12. to stimulate the Trojan chest drive, has remained lurking in the dark.
Bob Russo, talent show chairman for the Squires announced Friday that clues will certainly come to light this week that wrill identify Mr. Chest. The only Information available is that the culprit is a well-known campus personality.
PRIZE TO FIRST GLESSER A reward in merchandise ranging from $15 to $75 in value and donated from various department stores will be offered the student who first determines the identity of the mystery man.
The Squire show, first of its kind tc be presented at SC, will conduct final auditioning today, S , p.m. to 5 p.m. in Bovard auditorium. “Auditions held last week have produced a variety of talent lor a good show.” said Russo.
Auditions Friday disclosed further talent that will in all probability be seen Mar. 12. A hilarious pantomime of a fighter pilot in action enacted by a pair of funnymen. Art Astor and Jimmy McEw-en, drew many belly-laughs at audition. Another funny take-off was performed by Leonard Mallano on Spike Jones’ “My Old Flame.” APPLAUSE METER USED Prizes will be offered for the best laugh provoking skit. An applause meter will be used so that the audience can pick the best act. Because some acts include from 1 to 16 people, the nature of the prizes have not been determined.
Balloting in the Mr. Chest contest will start Mar. 10. Students will write their name and address on a slip of paper along with who they think Mr. X is and drop it in the containers the Squires will set in the vicinity of Tommy Trojan.
House Report Slams Russians ★ ★ ★ ★ Red Aims Announced
By United Press
WASHINGTON. Feb. 29—A House foreign affairs sub-committee today called on the United States to take the lead in fencing off Communist Russia from the non-Communist world or face “violent" global revolution.
The committee issued a long report, “The Strategy and Tactics of World Communism.” as Senate President Vandenberg (R) Mich., prepared to open Congressional debate on the Marshall European recovery plan.
It added up to one of the most stinging denunciations of Red philosophy and objectives ever handed out by an arm of the federal government, and drew these “simple conclusions of Soviet policy.”
“(1) The Communists have one goal—world revolution. (2) They assume that the revolution will be violent. (3) They are incapable of accepting the idea that peace can endure from now on, and they expect one more catastrophic war.” The report did not stop with that indictment.
It warned Americans they are playing with “loaded dice” when they join “ultra-democratic groups” used by Communists to advance their ends. Communists, it. added, have infiltrated labor groups, organizations boosting civil rights and
report came on the 100th anniversary of ‘The Communist manifesto, the touchstone of Soviet policy.
Its antidote for world communism is an all-out effort to establish an economically strong non-communist bloc headed by the United States and including Western Europe, China, the Near East and the Western Hemisphere.
Vandenberg Is expected to take a similar tack when he formally places the 51-month. $5,300,000,000 E.R.P. program before the Senate tomorrow. He hopes the Senate can vote on the plan by March 15.
After the recovery program is disposed of, Vandenberg’s Senate Foreign Relations Committee will begin hearings on President Truman's new request for $275,000,000 for military aid to Greece and Turkey and $570,-000 for China.
