Tommy's Mighty' Sword Dents ★ ★ ★ ★ Sham Irks Troy
Demands for an explanation of why Tommy Trojan is armed with a spurious sword were being angrily voiced today by students all over campus. Tommy’s original sword was bronze, this one appears to be tin. It even has dents in it.
An inquiring reporter from the Daily Trojan yesterday tossed a pebble at the supposedly heavy bronze weapon. There was a hollow “clonk” when the pebble hit, and a dent appeared. Exclamations from bystanders were unprintable.
“Tommy’s sword not being made of bronze is cause for senate investigation,” wrathfully asserted Joe Flynn, president of the junior class. Daily Trojan Columnist Art Buch-wald's story about the sword being a phoney has touched off a powder keg that threatened to jar the Trojan Knight office to disintegration.
“It’s probably made of the finest materials." said Dr. Herluff Nielson, of the SC metallurgy department, with a perfectly straight face, “it appears to be a ferro-manurium alloy, which has the hardness of stellite and machines like butter. The components? I'm not at liberty to tell. The Russians, you know. It’s one of our top secret developments, but it’s not bronze,” he added.
Trojan Knights, who recently staged a penny pitch to rearm Tommy, were not available for comment. They collected more than $100 for the purpose. Meanwhile Tommy stands secure in silent contemplation of the Shrine roof with his mighty sword firmly brazed and bolted in his hand—the sword with dents in it.

Albert S. Raubenheimer,
SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 11—The U. S. weather bureau today predicted “moderate” rains for northern and central California over the weekend from two storms heading for
the Pacific coast.
The good news for the parched state came as the state
public utilities commission underwent a barrage of criticism directed against the current power conservation program by big industry, small business, labor, and farm associations at a public hearing here.
Weather forecasters reported one disturbance now forming off the northern California coast will shower the northern half of the state Friday.
Another storm tn the Aleutian area is expected to move southwest and drop its moisture over the drought-stricken valleys Saturday or Sunday, forecasters said.
Both storms give ‘excellent" possibilities of dropping moderate rainfall but the total cannot be definitely forecast at this time, the bureau said.
The announced effects of the worst drought in the history of weather recording in the state, as presented by witnesses, included:

The navy reported it was preparing to use war vessels to generate some of its own power for the big Hunters Point yard here, and said that surplus power from the Mare island navy yard was being fed into the Pacific Gas & Electric Co. system to help alleviate the drought-caused shortages.
No, the Smith brothers, friends, and relatives haven’t invaded the campus. Those people masquerading behind those big and bushy, and some not so big and bushy, beards are engineers fervently hoping to win a kiss from Peggy Lee come beard judging day.
President of the engineers, Jim Young, is sporting a skimpy Van Dyke which occupies about one square inch of skin. When accosted and accused of having razorish habits. he retorted, “I can’t afford to have a big beard. I'm going to the Sigma Chi sweetheart ball, and if I have a big beard, she may not dance with me.”
A big poster in the Engineering building shows razor blade manufacturers reaction to the whisker campaign. The Gillette razor blade factory is shown with a large ’•Closed" sign in front.
Chairman of the affair, Chick Holmes, said some of the engineers participating in last year’s Engineering week became so attached to their beards that they didn't shave ior several weeks after the judging.
GI Equipment Deadline Fixed For Tomorrow
Deadline for veterans to make purchases of books, erasers, pencils, and other supplies covered by the GI bill is tomorrow.
Dr. Libby of the Office of Veteran’s affairs and University Bookstore officials explained the reason for ending purchases on this date is to facilitate accounting. Records must be completed in order to submit them to the veterans administration.
The closing date does not apply to books that have been placed on order by the bookstore and have not yet arrived. Students will be able to obtain these books under the GI bill when they are received.
Purchase of books and supplies from off-campus, and usually charged to the GI bill, also will stop at this date.

Aid Mission Hits Militia Stand
ATHENS—The American aid mission said in a blunt and critical report last night that the Greek army had failed to take offensive against the Communist-led guerrillas despite its great superiority in size and weapons. As a result, the detailed 31-page report said, rebel forces were “enabled not only to increase their marauding activities but also to increase their strength through forcible recruitment.”
Students Oppose MacArthur
Formation of “Veterans Against MacArthur” groups among students at the University of Southern California and UCLA was announced yesterday.
Spokesmen for the SC group said they had obtained 765 signatures of veterans in four hours urging Gen. Douglas MacArthur not to be a candidate for president but to remain at his post as allied commander in Japan.

VA Requests Early Notice
Student veterans planning transfers to other schools are advised by veterans administration officials to give at least 30 days notice of tseir plans if they wish to avoid delay in payment of subsistence.
In order to enroll at a new school, the veteran will need a supplemental certificate of eligibility from the VA regional office. This will require the filing of a notice of change with the VA and a statement from the present school showing satisfactory progress in studies.
VA authority for changing schools is required of students under either the Servicemen’s Readjustment act, (GI Bill) or the Voc-ational*Rehabilitation act (Public law 16) for disabled veterans.
knitted and donated by members of the various sororities. Half of the socks were sold yesterday, and the other half, according to Renee Rochester, who headed “operation argyles,” will be disposed of today.
The $102,40 proceeds from the sale of the sharp-looking footwear are to go to the chest, which winds up its two-week campaign today.
Miss Rochester stated that the Tri-Delts ranked first in contnbut-ing socks witl^even pairs. In second place were the Kappas and AOPi.
ADJUSTABLE SIZES
Since the sock sizes were some what uncertain, Herb Hynson, chairman of the chest, announced that the girls who knitted them would “rip out the toes of the socks and adjust them to fit the buyer’s feet.”
In size, the argyles ranged all the way from enormous 13s down to baby-sized ones, too small even for George Tirebiter to wear.
“These tiny argyles,” said Miss Rochester, “should interest some of the veterans on campus who have babies at home.”
One sock contributor, Beth Aspen, Alpha Gam, had one lone sock on the auction table, with the following note affixed:
"The other sock will be finished tonight. Call for it at Alpha Gam house, but call me first. PR-79622.’ CHEST DRIVE ENDS Today is the last day of the Chest drive, with the total funds collected still far short of the original goal, as ls graphically illustrated by the still-not-fully inflated chest on the picture of Tommy Trojan at Bovard’s main entrance.
The last major event, winding up the Trojan Chest campaign, is the Squires show in Bovard auditorium tonight. Chest collections will be taken at that time.
Money which has been collected during the drive goes to the World Student Service fund, the YWCA, the local community chest, and the SC student emergency fund. The latter fund is designed, according to Hynson, to provide financial aid to students who are temporarily physically disabled and to finance relief assistance to students in the event of disaster.
Show to Present Talent, Mr. Chest
“His heart was pegged to the Tri Delt door, but now he’i definitely free lancing once more.”
This final clue as to the identity of Mr. Chest should throw student contest fans into a riddle frenzy until tonight at 8 when Troy’s top secret will be revealed at the talent-laden Squire musical variety show in Bo-

Sheer Writes Biochem Book
Dr. Bradley T. Scheer, assistant professor of biochemistry, in his recently published text, “Comparative Physiology,” has undertaken to provide physiologists an advanced text and other scientists a reference work for their fields.
Described by the publishers, John Wiley and Sons, as written in a clear, readable style, with a stim ulating, modem approach, the book is the result of seven year’s research and preparation.
Designed primarily as a physi ology text, “Comparative Physiology” is also intended as a reference work for zoologists and biochemists interested in the comparative aspects of their subjects, according to the author.
“The text represents J synthesis of material derived from original papers, arranged to describe the physiology of the major animal phyla.” Dr. Scheer explained. The text is used in zoology 156 at SC and in a similar course at UCLA

Jesus' Christ Lecture Set
Dr. Eric L. Titus, associate professor of New Testament literature, will deliver the third lecture of the current Panorama of Religion’s series Monday at 3:15 in Bowne hall, when he deals with the subject “Jesus.”
“Although Jesus’ primary interest was to relate men to God he himself has become a religious object. It is doubtful if anything could be further from his desire,” Dr. Titus asserts.
The speaker has been affiliated with the university for the past four years. Prior to coming to Los Angeles, he was pastor of the First Baptist church, Chicago.
The Panorama of Religions is presented each semester by the Council of Religion. Theme of this semester’s series is “Religions of the Great Leaders of the World.” ‘Even though attendance at the lectures has been good, there ls still room for many more interested students,” said Bill Truitt, president of the council
SC Ski Team, UCLA Skiers To Have Meet
Undefeated SC skiers challenge UCLA competitors at a meet tomorrow morning at 10:30 an the slopes of Mt. Waterman.
Winning all the meets of the intercollegiate ski union in which they have participated, the ski team will vie in a giant slalom and a slalom. This event is a race in which participants follow a zig-zag downhill course through a series of “gates.” The only difference between the two events is the length of the course. The giant slalom is the longer race.
GOOD CHANCE TO WIN Ken Milette. Leo Miller, Dick At* kinson, Chris BroadweU, Frank Roberts, and Fred Pinkham, will lead the team with Arnold Goodwin standing by for any unanticipated event.
The ski team last Saturday won all events at a special meet between SC, Mount San Antonia junior college. Occidental college, and the California Institute of Technology. Taking place at Big Bear lake, under the sponsorship of the mountain resort's chamber of commerce, the competition proved a pleasant surprise for spectators and Coach Ah bn when Dick Atkinson (SC), beat out the favored Ken Milette «nd Leo Miller for first place in both events.
TROPHIES AWARDED Placing in th* first three positions in all events, the ski club was awarded two trophies by the Big Bear chamber of commerce.
While at the resort, the team were guests and occupied the best cabins available, free of charge. Good food and entertainment were also furnished the guests.
Original plans for this Satrday’s meet were made for the Big Bear slopes, but UCLA objected to the distance, and officials changed the run to Mt. Waterman which is located near the Angeles Crest highway.
