DANCE TO REMEMBER For a while yesterday it seemed probable that freshmen would long remember the dance, to paraphrase Dineen, as one that they spent all afternoon hunting. A little frantic changing of plans and knocking at administration doors resulted in
“General Leadership and Group ' Activity” is President Fred D. Fagg's topic for the opening address of the Student Government forum in the | Law building auditorium at 3:15 I today.
In the first of nine addresses by I faculty and student leaders. Dr. Fagg will discuss the importance of student body government and its relation to school administration. Faculty members and students are urged to attend.
The series, sponsored by the Student Government Leadership committee, consists of 20-minute talks followed by 40-minute question and answer periods. The next eight lectures will be given on consecutive Thursdays in Bowne hall, Mudd Memorial hall.
“The lectures will probably do more for non-leaders than leaders,” Grafton Tanquary, AMS president,
I said yesterday. Anne Rose, AWS . president, added. ‘'When applying for service organization positions in the future, members may get special consideration for attending the lectures.” The AMS and AWS join-| ed with the YMCA and YWCA in | sponsoring the leadership committee.
“Through the presentation of these lectures we hope to afford the SC student a better understanding of his role in school govern-! ment,” said Bill Stevens, ccchair-man of the committee. Excellent j hints and theories can be digested from these talks that will enable the student to adjust, not only to school government here, but to city, state, and national procedures as wrell, he added.
Dr. Emory S. Bogardus, dean of the Graduate School, will continue the series on Oct. 7 with the topic,
“What Makes a Leader.” The third subject will be, “The Psychology of Working With Groups,” on Oct. 14, by Dr. Frank C. Baxter, English language professor. Dr. Robert B. Pettengill, director of the Teaching Institute cf Economics, speaks on “Group Dynamics” on Oct. 21.
The last four lectures will include “Parliamentary Procedures,” by Milt Dobkin on Oct. 28, and the same topic by Dr. Milton C. Dickens on Nov. 4; “Psychology in Speaking,” Fred B. Bowman, Nov. 11; “Debating Techniques,” Dr. Charles Redding, Nov. 18; and "Discussion and Debate,” Dr. Alan Nichols, Dec. 2. The Thanksgiving holiday delays the last lecture until the following week.
Similar lectures on leadership were given last year for women student only by the YWCA.

“Admission is free,” Schmidt said, I “the doughnuts are free, and the j helpful advice is free. I can think , of no good reason why every freshman on campus should not oe there.”
Art Club to Open Student Exhibition
Imaginations and techniques will run r»ct for two weeks beginning 1 Monday night at Harris hall, when the SC art club opens its second an- i nual student exhibition.

Trovets Discuss Semester Plans
v Plans fcr “streamlining” Trovet ! activities were discussed at the semester’s first meeting of the Trovet board of directors.
Bob Sandham. business manager of the organization, told of plans fcr coordinating all Trovet committees. The new system will have a central file so information on any committee s :.ctivities can be easily located.
An inexpensive tutoring service for GI students was discussed by Gloria von Gemmingen.
Bob Padgett, Trcvet president, intimated that a baby-sitting service “with some amazing innovations” may be announced soon.
The board accepted applications to fill its present vacancies. Since a quorum was net present, official action on the applications could not be taken at this meeting.
be gained by criticism of past administration policies toward the Soviet by “second” sighters. In, an obvious reference to the presidential campaign, he added:
“If these men of influence who criticize the past really want to help, let them make realistic suggestions—and on the record suggestions about the present and the future.”
USSR TO BLAMB
Royall said leaders of the USSR have told us “time and again” that their purpose is to establish a world empire by force and revolution.
By fraud and “sneeringly camouflaged force and oppression,” he said, the “dark shadow” of Communism has spread over Europe. Emboldened by these successes, Rcyall asserted, the Communist hierarchy sought to apply “pressure tactics” to America through the Berlin blockade.
He said Russian excuses for the blockade found support neither in sincerity nor simple veracity and their approach was that of an “international shyster.”
TALKS AN EXCUSE The recent four-power talks in Moscow, Royall said, served only as an excuse for the Soviets to seek to blockade the air lift. If the Soviet proposals resulting from the talks had been accepted they could have “forced us out of Berlin in. a matter of weeks.”
He said these tactics have not succeeded “this time,” but they have brought about a danger to peace of the world with the result that the matter has been placed before the United Nations.
“We have announced our determination in the meantime to stay in Berlin,” Royall said, “and this we intend to do.”
‘NO WAR’
“Barring some accidental or unintentional occurrence, I do not envision a war in the near future,’-: Royall said, and added;
“But we must realize that the determination of war is not in our hands, but in the hands of a few despotic and powerful men—men who may or may not be representative of their nations. And it is the timing only, and not the ultimate purpose of these men that is uncertain.”

and Pigskin Review staffs. He also was a member of Kappa Sigma, Pi Delta Epsilon, Trojan Knights, and Skull and Dagger.
EXPERIENCE IN TRAVEL
Leaving the DT editor’s desk, Pinkley went to New York and then to the British Isles. He traveled on lumber and cattle ships and recalls that he was always seasick.
In London he joined the United Press staff and was returned to the West Coast for domestic “seasoning.” Called back to Europe, he worked with UP bureaus in Berlin, Rome, Stockholm, Zurich, and Amsterdam.
In 1938, Pinkley was made business manager of UP. After becoming vice-president and European general manager in 1944, he traveled an average of 200,000 miles a year and acquired a ticket agent;s memory for train and plane schedules.
WORD COINAGE FAMOUS
He also became famous for his word coinage. He sent congratulatory wires to staff members for stories that had plenty of “zoomo,” “zippo,” and “peDpo.”
Under Pinkley's supervision, UP's European clients, numbering 300 before the war, were increased to 750. Eighteen new continental bureaus were added.
Pinkley left his United Press post in May of this year and returned to Los Angeles as executive assistant to Norman Chandler, publisher of the Los Angeles Times.
Since his selection as Mirror publisher. he has been organizing the paper’s staff and planning its formation.
The General Alumni association named Pinkley SC’s outstanding alumnus of 1946. He received the Asa V. Call award.
Publishing seems to be the main goal of Blue Key this year. Three publications were planned in the first meeting of the men's honorary organization this semester at the Chi Phi house, Tuesday evening.
Two committees were appointed to work on two new booklets and revise a third booklet. Milt Dobkin. last year’s Blue Key president, is heading plans for a student government manual which will describe activities of all ASSC offices. It may be ready for printing by February. Dobkin has been collecting material for the manual during the past year.
SECOND COMMITTEE
A second committee, headed by Jack Shafer, ex-representative cf the Independent council, is probing possibilities of furnishing students with a student directory next year. The main difficulty is obtaining an allotment from the student government with which to finance the printing. The sale of such a directory is prohibited.
Up for revision is the Campus Telephone directory, last revised by Blue Key in 1947. This publication may also be ready by next September.
The organization does net do the main work in the production of these publications, but it plana them and sends the work out to the various campus service groups.
THOMAS RESIGNS
Another result of the meeting was the announcement of Morey Thomas’ resignation as Blue Key secretary. He said that his presidency of the Trojan Knights leaves him insufficient time to handle the secretarial position. The vacancy will be filled at the next Blue Key meeting, Oct. 12, at the Phi Sigma Kappa house.
