72 Los Angeles, Calif., Monday, Oct. 25, 1948 No. 31
The forum is a series of lectures or. philosophy and religion presented each semester by the department of philosophy under the direction of Dr. Daniel S. Robinson.
“Religion is not limited to any single pattern,” he said, “but is expressed through institutions and conventions as varied as the cus-as ap- I toms of diverse societies.”
Helen j The i^ues to be aired, Dr. Helsel explained, arise because convention has replaced natural means of re-ligio-'s expression .and morality, the j bai. _ for religion, has faded into the background.
Institutions are looked upon as primary when they should be given a secondary role, Dr. Helsel said.
A fully ordained minister and former managing editor of the Personalist, SC philosophy quarterly, Dr. Helsel has been a lecturer in the Hollywood Methodist church for eight years.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24—(U.RV—A party honoring a member of a Broadway play oast Isn’t unusual —except when the guest of honor is a goat.
A goat named Daisy received her guests in a Broadway alley alongside a theater. Daisy is a member of tho cast of “Mister Roberts.”
But Daisy didn’t oo-operate who’ ehearted I y. The chef of a restaurant across the street from the theater baked her a treat fit for someone far better than a goat
Daisy didn’t care for it.
While the chef sulked, the play’s star, Henry Fonda, made Daisy another offer. He held out a fresh package of cigarettes. The goat ate the cigarettes with relish.
Fonda admitted it wasn’t sheer chance that led him to hold out the cigarettes. He gives the goat three or four cigarettes before every night’s performance.

LES BROWN’S MUSIC Les Brown's band has been J booked for the ball. Brown promises to play the songs students re-| quest. He said he know’s what col-' lege people like, because he formed j his first band, the “Duke Blue Devils,” while he was still a student at Duke university. Since then he has played hundreds of college dances. At one time, his band won top spot in the annual Billboard contest.
His most popular record is “Sentimental Journey,” which he wrote. Besides leading his band for special engagements, he is musical director for the Bob Hope show.
BEST EVER “With Les Brown’s top-notch band, the dancing space, the refreshment services of the Riviera, and the special entertainment planned, we hope to make this the biggest all-U dance in Troy’s history,” said Granny Abbott, dance committee head.
Other members of the ASSC Dance committee are George Wood, and Jane Aven, tickets; Whitey Fruhling and Sylvia Lovell, decorations; and Pat Daniels, posters.
Critic Kibitzes Lounge Lizards
by Jim Blake
Critical observers of Student Union activity during the past two weeks couldn’t help noticing the increasing number of students huddled interestedly over the little old rectangule' pasteboards instead of conscientiously over their textbooks.
Not that there ever was anything like a quorum representing
the studious type, but this card-playing situation has reached a stage where you can’t stop to light your cigar without looking like someone’s ante in a game of stud. INVESTIGATOR UNSHIRTED A bridge authority was sent into the heart of the no-trump territory to do a little spade work on the card clubs in the Student Union. This gent proved to be a diamond-in-the-rough (naturally), returning three days later with pages of notes and without a shirt.
The notes revealed that our expert had stopped first at a second-floor gathering to ascertain whether the Trojan bridge addicts leaned toward Culbertson, Blackstone or the under-the-table kick code. The first hand he viewed looked like a solid eight no-trump bid until a helpful kibitzer revealed that the second-floor is double Pinochle headquarters.
PINOCHLE PROBLEM The biggest problem in double pinochle seems to be holding the cards in one hand without undue strain on the arm and back muscles. This eliminates girls and small boys from anything other than two-handed pinoohle.
Below, in the patio, the expert found the bridge enthusiasts he had been seeking, plus one small group of long-hairs huddled over a chess board.
Discreet inquiries revealed that there are two factions, warring within the bridge ranks. One group, the Purists, won’t even break out the deck unless they can get a fourth, while the more liberal, or left-wing .group, will sometimes indulge in a game of honeymoon in an emergency.
The reactionary Purists speak ; in nothing but gruff whispers and ; monosyllables, while an occasional ; cry of joy can be heard from the spectators watching a brilliant exhibition of skill in the opposite camp. Unrestrained glee is prohibited, however, and the game just completed is referred to only in a reverent whisper.
YORK, Pa., Oct. 22—(U.E)—'Veterans won’t be able to recognize the new Army.
Gen. Jacob L. Devers, chief of the Army field forces, said tonight that draftees will be faced with kind sergeants, hot meals, pay advances and sight-seeing tours of their posts.
What's more, Devers told the Pennsylvania State convention of American War Mothers, billardball haircuts are out. He said the Army will cut each man's hair just the way he wants it.
First of all, Devers said, the draftee will be sent to a post as near home as possible. He will be met at the train, “no matter how or when he arrives.”
The inductee sits down promptly to a hot meal. Then he gets an advance on his pay and will be issued toilet articles and a raincoat.
"The processing which follows is spread over a week,” Devers said. "The draftee's uniform will be individually fitted. He will take a sight-seeing tour of the post.”
The boy who heard about tough sergeants will be in for a surprise, Devers said. The men in charge of the draftees will not swear and the draftees themselves will not be permitted to swear.
And Just to make sure that mothers know how their sons are getting along, Devers said company commanders and chaplains will writ? to parents, telling them how the boys are doing.

Sidewalk Widening Surprises Engineers
Sliderule slaves of 37th place are rejoicing today to find that they now have 1140 square feet of sidewalk to maneuver on as they dash to classes.
Over the weekend the narrow cement pathway in front of the Engineering building has been widened to 11 feet for the entire width of the building.
Engineering students interviewed Friday afternoon while contractor Bemie Nixt and his crew were getting ready to lay the concrete generally agreed that the project was a good one.
None admitted ever having complained about the dust and mud that surrounded the old walk, however. “I just stumbled through,” said one, “Never had any time to think about the sidewalk.”
“I still think we’ll need a white stripe down the middle,” said another, “and between classes a few
‘No Parking’ signs would help."
Art Drogin, the ice cream vendor, and Louis Simon, engineering parking lot attendant, showed more enthusiasm. “They’ve needed this for a long time,” said Drogin. “Nobody could keep it clean the way it was terrible when it rained.”
“Sometimes this place looked like a cyclone hit it,” added Simon.
Inside fee building the comments were more specific. Said visiting Associate Professor Raymond S. Barber, "With 2000 day students and 1500 night students attending classes here we needed more sidewalk space.
Another improvement scheduled for the engineering area is the blacktopping of the main traveled area behind the main building. This project, explained Elton D. Philips, university business manager, is now out for bids.
“We hope to have it done before the rainy season,” he said.
With a few breaks the Indians might have won—but conversely— with a few breaks the Trojans might have rung up two more TDs.
POWERS PITCHES
SC jumped out in front of Stan-foid in the closing seconds of the first half when Jimmy Powers pitched one from the 10 to substi- j tute end Bill Jessup in the end zone, for a TD. It was fourth down for SC and only 20 seconds remained in the half.
Quarterback Dean Dill galloped in and kicked what proved to be the winning point in the game. SC led 7-0.
The Trojans’ offensive and defensive punch got two last-minute blow;, that seriously hurt them. Don Rogers, the lad who has been turn

Dr. Milton D. Dickens, associate professor of speech, will act as moderator. Dr. Dickens explained that each of the speakers will talk, not as political experts, but only as interested voters.

Dulles Sees Hope for Berlin Settlement
PARIS, Oct. 24—(U.E)—John Foster Dulles, Republican party foreign policy expert, said tonight on the eve of a critical United Nations Security Council meeting that there was hope Russia might compromise in the Berlin blockade .crisis.
Dulles, who probably will be the next secretary of state if Gov. Thcmas E. Dewey is elected president, also pledged by implication
a wholehearted continuance of bipartisan foreign policy backed by the united opinion of the American people.
“Tomorrow the Security Council will take up again the question oi Berlin,” Dulles said. “No one except the Soviets knows what their final attitude will be. But at least the; Soviet representatives have already shown that they have some
callea neutral members of the Security Council and the powerful world opinion that backs them up.” “As I say, we have hoped. It may be that these hopes are destined to be dashed.
If so, that will be an occasion
in the kind of effort that has already shown its worth.”
Dulles led up to this by saying the UN day might prove to have come at a significant moment.
“For there is some evidence of a possible change of attitude on the
respect for the opinion of the so- should remain steady and resolute
