The importance of choosing a mutual goal for couples planning marriage cannot be emphasized enough, according to Dr. Ben Timmons, second lecturer in the Marriage Forum series.
“The goal is important, not the sp^ed with which it is attained,” he said yesterday in Bovard auditorium. “Two young people with the same goal but different speeds of approaching it are better than a couple who are both traveling at the same speed but in entirely different directions.”

is the Velero’s master.
This week Captain Hancock took the Velero out of its Wilmuigton berth into the Catalina channel for the benefit of newsmen and put the ship through its paces. The Velero is the newest and one of the best equipped marine exploration ships in the world. It was launched at San Diego Apr. 18.
OPERATIONS EXPLAINED
Aboard the laboratory ship was Dr. John S. Garth, research associate of the Hancock foundation, who explained to newsmen some of the scientific aspects of the ship’s operations.
Under the direction of Captain Hancock, a special steel dredge was dropped over the stern and lowered to the ocean bottom. It was then dragged over the sea floor for a distance and raised to the stern deck of the Valero.
Here, under the direction of Dr.
Garth, seamen washed the mud from the specimens that were bi ought up from the sea bottom.
The scientist explained to reporters what each was as he put it into a porcelain tray for later study.

Forum Opened By Helsel Talk
Current religion has overemphasized beliefs and attached only secondary importance to ethics according to Dr. Paul R. Helsel. professor of philosophy, who opened the 37th semi-annual philosophy forum yesterday in Bowne Hall.
Dr. Helsel speaking on “The Current Issue in the Philosophy of Religion,” was the first of five speakers in the series entitled “Critical Issues in Contemporary philosophy.”
“In magnifying the relative importance of conventions and institutions we have forgotten the prior nature of religion which finds its source in human nature.
“Although conventions are derivatives of religion and are subject to external controls, they now occupy the total measure of human | izations to uni\ ersity students of concern,” Dr. Helsel said.
Men s Council To Reactivate
The AMS cabinet decided to prepare a guide of all active SC students, to reactivate the Men’s council. and to challenge football opponents to “skins,” in a meeting yesterday.
The guide will enable better selections for positions of service to be made. It will include a complete record of the students’ activities, including the degree of satisfaction of the work done. It will be started immediately, according to the cabinet.

floor of Student Union. It will be awarded to the Homecoming queen.
Final judging will be done by Hollywood celebrities, Nov. 30, as the last 20 queen contestants parade in formals across Bovard stage to music played by Les Brown's orchestra.
HUNDRED TRY
One hundred women will compete in the first queen try-out. Five student judges will eliminate half of this number. In the second trial all but 20 will be dropped from the competition.
Ralph Townsend, Homecoming chairman, said that Helen of Troy and her four attendants will be chosen on the basis of voice qualities, facial beauty, hair, figure, and graceful carriage.
The queen must have a good speaking voice, and she must be photogenic. Her picture will be seen on the cover of national mag
the major hurdles to successful marriage will be overcome.
Dr. Timmons found that the men in his classes at Illinois listed three important prerequisites girls should have before marrying.
These are companionship, skills and knowledge in homemaking, and the ability to be a good hostess to his friends.
His students believed that companionship should be both physical and spiritual.
PHYSICAL VIGOR “Physical companionship meant to them a vigorous person full of vitality and, in the case of women, sturdiness in childbearing.”
For president: Fred Harper, Richard Wortley. Jack Crawford. James Shipula. Don Knapp, Biil Clemens, and Jack Owen.
For vice-president: Charles Kan-ner. Henry Morris, Richard Spears, Fred Maier. Payne Johnson. Tracy St. John, and Patricia O'Bryan, the only woman candidate.
Sixteen houses along the Row have banded together, apparently under one faction of the controversial IFC political action committee, in an effort to elect a ticket consisting of Wortley and St. John. Wortley is a Beta Theta Pi pledge, and St. John is an Acacia pledge.
CANDIDATE BACKED
Harper, pledged to Theta Chi. is being supported by his house and other fraternities and sororities friendly to his candidacy. Harper backers have been boosting Miss O'Bryan as vice-president.
' A dixieland band playing “Fight On" and parading on the row yesterday noon was part of the Harper campaign. His platform contains planks promising the return of school spirit among the frosh.
Shipula and Maier also appear to be running together since their campaign is being managed by the same person.
LOUDSPEAKER USED
Crawford, an independent, has a loudspeaker system set up in his car through which he speaks to voters and plays music for their enjoyment.
Other candidates with organizational backing are Knapp and Owen. Knapp and his running mate. Morris, are backed by the NROTC. Owen is supported by Trovets.

The women believed that economic and emotional security are very important for a happy marriage. After a woman has children her earning power is usually eliminated and she is dependent upon her husband's earnings.
MARRIAGE PLANNING
In planning for marriage Dr. Timmons considers three things important:
First, the kind of personality you bring into marriage. According to him it takes a well-rounded, well-balanced personality to make a success of marriage.
Second, try to select a suitable partner with a mutual goal.
Third, know how to get along with people. He believes that those people who have a harmonious environment are the best risk for a happy married life.

Judge Jails 10 For Contempt
Los Angeles Federal Judge Pierson M. Hall refused yesterday to release 10 persons he ordered jaild on civil contempt charges because they would not answer a grand jury’s questions on Communism.
In a midnight court session. Judge Hall found six men and four women guilty of civil contempt and ordered them jailed.
First public notice of the hearing came when attorneys for the reluctant witnesses went before Judge Hall and demanded that the jury be dismissed because it was improperly impaneled.
The same arguments were repeated later when Attorney John Mc-Teraan went before Judge Hall with a request for a stay of execution or bail for the imprisoned persons.
The judge ruled civil contempt was not a bailable offense. He then denied a stay of execution pending appeal on grounds defense objections were “trivial.’*
“A grand jury is entitled to ascertain whether certain persons should be prosecuted,” he said. “There was no intimidation of thes® witnesses. I cannot see how an answer to questions would have incriminated them, and I cannot see where their constitutional rights have been violated.”
