Cantata Slated For Bovard
Benjamin Britten, most successful composer of opera since Rich-ard Strauss, will near the end of his American concert tour when he directs the West Coast premiere of his “Saint Nicolas Cantata” in Bovard auditorium at 8:30 next Wednesday evening.
The composer, accompanied by tenor Peter Pears, will present the program as part of the third annual Festival of Contemporary Arts. Another of Britten’s works, the comic opera “Albert Herring,” will be presented as the last feature of the festival by Dr. Carl Ebert and the Opera Workshop.
STARTED AT FIVE
Britten, who cetebrated his 36th birthday yesterday, was bom in Suffolk, England. He studied music during holidays with the famed Frank Bridge whose friendship and advice he sought up to the time of the composer's death.
He began composing when he was five but did not attempt to have any of his works published until 1932.
Much of his earlier music was composed for documentary films. His music began to receive recognition in 1934 when the “Phantasy Quartet” for oboe and strings was performed in Florence, Italy.
Britten came to the United States in the summer of 1939. During this stay, which lasted until 1942,. he took an active part in American music.
WROTE SONNETS
Among the works he composed during this period were the “Michelangelo Sonnets,” written specially for Peter Pears, the “Sinfonia da Requiem,” and three works for two pianos.
Britten’s first opera, “Paul Bun-yan,” was presented nine years ago at Columbia university.
His second opera, “Peter Grimes,” is regarded by many critics as his finest work. The opera’s quick rise to fame and its performances in eight languages in the leading European Opera houses, as well as the Metropolitan opera in New York, made the composer’s name world-famous.
Rules Listed For All SC Organizations
Failure of campus organizations to comply with general regulations of the university has been noted by Bernard L. Hyink, dean of students.
The regulations, whioh are printed in the student handbook, are as follows:
1.	Permission for student use of University grounds, buildings, or other facilities (including the Student Union), for meetings or other functions must be obtained from the Dean of Students.
2.	All rallies, demonstrations, and parades must be approved by the Student Activities Committee, (Dean of Students, Chairman).
3.	The use of speakers not associated with the University, other than visiting faculty or lecturers engaged for regularly scheduled courses, must be approved by the Student Activities Committee, (Dean of Students, Chairman).
MUST HAVE OK
4.	Students or student organizations are not permitted to advertise their activities on the campus in any manner which may disturb classes, unless special permission is granted by the Dean of Students.
5.	The distribution, circulation, and posting of handbills, newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, circulars, and posters on campus grounds must be approved by the Dean of Students. (Posters, handbills, etc., not bearing the visible, official-ap-proval stamp will be removed without notice).

Recognized organizations which fail to comply with social or general regulations, may be placed on probation by the Student Activities Committee.
Troy Gridders Board Train; Telegrams to Spur Them On
SC Faces Impossible' Irish Team
by ERNIE BEYER
Having now accomplished the improbable, the SC Trojans entrained eastward last night in quest of the impossible.
Impossible?
it’s impossible to say that something is impossible for this Trojan team—a team that rose from the depths of a Stanford debacle to the heights of an overwhelming win over UCLA in two weeks.
But if there has ever been a task in football that could be classified as impossible, it must certainly be this Notre Dame invasion.
Three dozen times Notre Dame has troteed on the gridiron and some 2 hours later filed off into dressing room without ever being on the short end of a score. Three dozen games—34 wins and two ties, but no losses.
TROY TIES ONCE
Two Trojan defeats are among the 36 in the Notre Dame string of victories. SC lost 26-6 in 1946 and 38-7 in 1947, but also charged one of the two deadlocks that marred the Irish record with that 14-14 thrillers ©f last year.
We have seen some pretty good Irish teams, but this year's must be even greater if figures don’t belie the power of the South Benders. This was, after all, the team that Coach Frank Leahy said could’nt “fail to lose at least three (Continued on Page 3)
Can He Do It Again?
Doheny Memorial library will be closed Thanksgiving day and Sunday, and will be open Friday and Saturday, Nov. 25, 26, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
All departmental libraries will be closed until Monday, Nov. 28.
Chinese Students Plan Ball Tonight
SC's Chinese Students club will hold its third annual Thanksgiving ball tonight at 9 in the Los Angeles Breakfast club. Troy Belles Betty Jean Chin and Camille Chan will preside over the affair.
The two girls won the Troy Belle titles for their looks and their personalities. Miss Chin and Miss Chan were chosen to reign over the dance from a field of six finalists last week, according to H. T. Wen, adviser of the club.
Judges making the final selections were Bob Padgett, ASSC president; Dr. Theodore Chen, faculty sponsor; and Wen.
Several entertainers have been lined up for the ball, according to Wen. They include Annie and Li Sun, professional ballroom dancers, and Dorothy Washington, modem interpretative dancer.
Miss Washington is known for the life and spontaneity which she infuses into her interpretations. Locally, the dancer has appeared in the opera “Carman Jones” and in many of the Greek theater productions.
Jimmy Davis and his band will provide the “smooth and jumpy” music for dancing, according to Troy Belle Miss Chin.
The Thanksgiving ball will be semi-formal, and all SC students are invited to attend, she said. Bids are $2.75 and may be obtained from any of the club members, purchased from the faculty sponsor, or at the door.

BULL (BOMBER) MARTIN, SC's fullback who scored the two TDs against the Irish last year, promises to be an equal threat in this Saturday's South Bend tussle. He is Troy's high score man this year, making 54 points.
Caravan Rally Cheers Team at Train Depot
by DOLORES DEITRICH and EVONNE BERRY
Busloads of cheering Trojan rooters fought traffic to the Union Station last night to give the football team a rousing send-off o» their jaunt to South Bend.
When the train pulled out at 6 the rooters wished they were going along, and the players wished they were staying. Emotion flowed freely. Even the alums in the trailing club car were visibly stirred.
The Trojan band stood in front of SC Car No. 1 playing “There’s Going to Be a Great Day” while the team, promising nothing, peeked from their car.
Six chartered busses and a caravan of cardinal-and-go!d-decorated cars careened onto Figueroa street,
and created bedlam for homeward-bound downtown workers.

All Students Wire Team/ Ask Leaders
Plans for a five-city telegram barrage by the student body directed at the travelling Trojan football team were mapped out by campus leaders late yesterday.
The cascade will be directed toward Albuquerque. Topeka, Kansas City, Chicago, and South Bend.
Every student is asked to send a telegram, said Frank O’Sullivan, chairman of tke Greater-U committee. “If every student, and the campus clubs, fraternities and sororities help we can make this the strongest demonstration of our support,” he said.
MURDER THE IRISH “There’s no divided loyalty in my family. Murder the Irish,” added O’Sullivan.
Before boarding the train, Coach Jeff Cravath very heartily approved the idea of sending the wires to the squad. “It’s an excellent idea. The fellows will appreciate it very much.” he said.
Albert Zech, counselor of men, said he hoped the entire student body and alumni would support the plan. “I think it's fine,” he said, “I think we'll all be tuning them in on the radio. Let’s let them know we’re back of them."
DILL APPROVES Among the campus leaders echoing their approval were Dean Dill and George Woolery. Dill, 1948 quarterback who piloted the Trojans to both touchdowns in the classic 14-14 tie with Notre Dame, said. “It's an uplift. The messages let-you know there's someone on the homefront for you. It gives you lots of fight, and is something to fight for.” Woolery. LAS council president, added. “It's a tremendous idea. The LAS council—and I’m sure t,he student body—will let South Bend know we’re behind our team 100 percent.
A representative of the Western Union Telegraph company stated that the communication firm would make every e'fort to deliver all the telegrams before eame-time.
NEW MEXICO FIRST The first barrage will be leveled, when the team stops over at Albuquerque. l p.m., today, for a practice session at the University of New Mexico, They leave at 6 p.m. for Topeka, Kansas, and will spend

i Dear Virtue' Begins Long Run
“Dear Virtue,” a play written by |Mrs. Madeline Blackmore. SC lectur-|er in Man and Civilization, began its run at the Stage Theater on Beverly boulevard last Tuesday, and from all reports is set fcr a long showing.
Mrs. Blackmore said the play is a dramatization of Samuel Richardson s ‘“Pamela: or Virtue Rewarded,” which is generally cited as the first English novel.
The action of the play takes place in the early 180s and is based on | the morals and traditions of the I time.
IThe story concerns a poor little servant girl working in the household of a rich English gentleman.
[ Although she is in love with her employer, the maid resists his advances, but • suggests that a wed-dig ring and marriage certificate would merit better treatment.
Of course, for him to marry out of his class is completely unthinkable, as the English high society of that period frowned on the marriage of servant girls and rich gentlemen.
In the end, however, love con-
quers all, and the gentleman defies English custom and tradition by rm.rrying the little domestic.
Betsy Blair and Richard Stapely have the two leading roles. Miss Blair, who won an academy award for a character portrayal in ‘ Snake-pit,” portrays the role of Pamela. Stapely, who plays the rich Snglish gentleman, was formerly with London's Old Vic company for three years.
A special admission price of 75 cents is offered to students attending the Sunday matinee performance.
$100 To Be Given For Best Essay On James' Works Senate Meet Off
not-so-short shortcuts to the station.
Close to 1000 fervid rooters packed the depot while George Tirebiter, frustrated by the iron wheels of the streamliner, ran circles around the Victory bell.
Thunderous fight songs resounded throughout the station, bringing napping travelers to their feet in many comers of the waiting room.
Slowly the mighty locomotive gathered speed and began to pull the Notre Dame Special away from the platform. DT editor F. R. Ashley led the group in a slow chant of “Goodby Mr. Leahy.”
Hopeful rooters waved inspiring goodbyes as the train disappeared out of the station.
A cash prize of $100 will be awarded in 1950 for the best student essay on the writings of William James. The annual contest, sponsored by the School of Philosophy, was begun as the result of a bequest by the late Ferdinand Schiller, professor of philosophy at SC.
Judging of the essays will be based on the waiter’s comprehension of James, originality of evaluation, and literary £tyle and ex-1 cellence. All essays are to be sub-! mitted under assumed names to i insure completely unbiased judging.
James’ writings are on reserve in Hoose library, and a list of rules and a bibliography may be obtained at the office of the School of Philosophy.
The ASSC Senate meeting scheduled for tonight has been canceled In order to allow the student legislators to get an early start for their homes.
The Senate will resume its schedule when it meets next Wednesday at 7:15 in 418 Student Union.
t.here Thursday, 1 p.m., and leave the same evening.
The cardinal-and-gold special arrives at the Chicago-Dearbom station Friday, 8:45 a.m.. and will stay until Saturday morning.
SEND TO HOTEL

The Western Union official said , trunk TRinity 4321 would be ready to handle all SC wires and that the campus office. 2606 Soutih Figueroa i street, would be prepared to assist ! all students in sending their mes-I rages.

What will you be thankful for on Thanksgiving day?
The ever curious DT yesterday invaded the lives of a few prominent students in and around the campus in order to get the answer to the above question.
The DT pollster was surprised to note that many of those questioned were unable to immediately think o', anything to be thankful for.
Modest Dean Schneider, hero of last Saturday’s game, was the first guinea pig to be asked this pertinent question.
After a moment of deep thought, Schneider hesitatingly said. “I guess I’m thankful that I was in a position to help the team beat UCLA.” In a confident tone, he further added that he thought the (Continued on Page 4)
