The cast includes Pat Corrigan as Anna, Wally Richard as Chris, Brad Johnson as Matt Burke, Dick Lauf as Larry, Nancy Brannon as Marthy, Larry Harmon as Johnny, “the priestf’ Sam Rosen and Mike Galloway as the first and second longshoremen, and John Blaisdell, Jeff Whitten, and Al Rudolf as sailors.

The bulletin reads that “in gen- | eral,” finals are not counted more than 25 per cent.
“The ‘in general’ qualification allows departments and professors to deviate considerably from the bulletin,” Patmore said.
“Because the practice is to give more weight to the linals, the bulletin will now state that 'in general. finals will count from 25 to 50 per cent of the grade’,” he said.
Delta Theta Phi Report in Error
Last Wednesday's meeting of
Delta Theta Phi to discuss racial and religious clauses in membership requirements was not a surprise meeting as erroneously reported in the Daily Trojan, it has been learned.
Notice of the meeting was publicized in thc DT and on School of Law billlctin boards, and the Daily Trojan takes this opportunity to correct the error.
JANET MELBOURNE . . Alpha Delta Gamma
make-up chief; Ivan Kahn head of the 20th Century Fox studio talent department; and Varga, famed Esquire artist.
PRIZES GIVEN
Prizes in this contest are $1975 in scholarships for the Patricia Stevens modeling school and the American Television school, the traditional PiKA trophy, a self-portrait by Varga, and eligibility to the Junior Miss America contest.
The field which totaled 60 to start, was narrowed by a series of dinner parties each time reducing | the number almost in half. Friday i night 10 remained.
A member of the fraternity was 1 assigned to each girl to act as escort for the evening. Each was pre-j sented with a sterling silver token ! as a gift of the event, and also iwth ! a corsage.
VOTE TAKEN
After the dinner the group ad-! journed to the newly decorated reception hall, and the escorts intro~ i auced the coeds to the members. A I secret vote was then taken to determine the five remaining condi-j dates.
This is the 36th annual search for the coed to be crowned “Dream Girl of PiKA.” The contest has been a tradition since 1913, beginning one year after the famous “Sweetheart of Sigma Chi” contest. Each of the 99 PiKA chapters in the US selects their “Dream Girl” on this annual occasion.
Truman to Get Baxter Plan' To Avoid War
Dr. Frank C. Baxter and the ! Council of Atomic*Implications will I ask President Truman to consider sending a group of 20 Americans to Moscow to discuss the problems separating Russia and the US, it was announced Friday.
The purpose of the conference would be to achieve a “meeting of minds and to help break the Iron Curtain.”
The proposed committee, which would represent all walks of life, should be an unofficial body, and no one should be permitted to make any commitment which would be binding on his country, backers of the plan said. After meeting with their Russian counterparts in Moscow, the Americans should attempt to arrange for a similar meeting here.
Dr. Baxter, professor of English, last week made the proposal to CAI in a lecture on “My Plan for Reducing the Odds for World War III.’’ After discussing the plan, CAI spokesmen asked Dr. Baxter to send the proposal to Truman in the form of a letter signed by those supporting the idea.
“Since there seems no possibility of our achieving any meeting of the minds with Russia through official channels, and since day by day the tenseness grows in the very way that historically has always led to war, such a thing as we propose might work,” Dr. Baxter said in commenting on the suggestion.
Anyone dtsiring to sign the letter may do so in 310 Bridge.

Trojanality Voting Commences Today
One thin dime will buy a vote this week and will swell the coffers of the Trojan Chest fund as voting opens today in the Mr. and Miss Trojanality contest. Only limit to the votes that can be cast by a person is the number of dimes that he will part with.

Atom Secrets Not Secret'
Many so-called American atomic secrets can be stripped of their veil by scientists combining published facts with elementary mathematics, Dr. J. A. Campbell, Oberlin college physicist, told the Council on Atomic Implications Friday.
Dr. Campbell believes, however, that technical details of atomic bomb production and method of detonating it are the only facts that should be entirely secret.
Information that the bomb contains 20 to 30 pounds of fissionable material and approximately one bomb is manufactured a week, has been printed in newspapers and public information reports, he said.
But secrecy of many facts is not important since the French and Swedes are already producing atomic energy piles. In addition, the United States has helped the British produce uranium, and it is estimated they will be able to make atomic bombs in a year and a half, he explained.
Three main reasons a military secret should be kept were given by Dr. Campbell.
If the opposing side does not know of the weapon, it is wise to hide its discovery; the mechanism should be secret to slow down production in other countries; and, if the balance of power is close but is in our favor, it is best to let the enemy think that we have a much greater predominance of strength over them.
Squires Choose Pat Johnson As Sweetheart
Search for a Squire Sweetheart ended Friday night at the Palladium when Pat Johnson, Delta Gamma, was named the winner. Benny Goodman made the announcement at the a!l-U dance over a nationwide radio hookup.

SC’s annual charity drive, the Trojan Chest, starts today under the slogan, “Give to the Drive—Help Kids Survive!” The week-long campaign is to raise money for Troy camp, SC’s summer camp for underprivileged boys; the World Student Service fund; the Community Chest; and the March
of Dimes.	*-*
Students will be asked to con- 1 tribute in classrooms tomorrow and Wednesday at 10 a.m„ Howard Kotler and Cal Schmidt, Trojan Chest co-chaimen, said Friday.
Solicitation in fraternities, sororities, and campus dorms begins tonight.
“The basic reason for the one annual drive is to take the load off the students,” said Johnny Davis,
ASSC president.
HIT TOO OFTEN “In the past they were hit week in and week out by numerous charities. The student senate felt it was to the advantage of the students to combine the campaign in to one drive.
“Unless we get behind it wholeheartedly, however, it will be a failure. If we get into the spirit of the drive, we can have fun at the same time.”
Albert S. Raubenheimer, educational vice-president said that “because of the ambitious and worthy programs proposed by the students,
I am confident that we will all do our part in contributing to the success of the campaign.”
CAN RID POCKETS Students will have ample opportunity during the week to rid their pockets of any spare change. The Tommy Trojan statue will be boarded in and caricatures of familiar faces on campus will be erected around it. Students can pelt with coins those in disfavor, thus venting their ire and aiding the charities.
Votes will be sold for 10 cents each for the “Mr. and Miss Trojanality” candidates at various booths.
A large “clcck’’ will indicate which aspirants are leading as the drive progresses.
LINE OF DIMES A “line of dimes” will be built from University avenue to a large "Trojan Chest” near the fountain.
Dimes collected here will go to the March of Dimes. Officials of this charity require that all funds collected be earmarked specifically for the March of Dimes. Students may also indicate on the classroom solicitation envelopes if they wish the money to go to the March of Dimes.

CAI to Hear Berkes Today
Dr. Ross N. Berkes, professor of international relations, will speak cn “My Plan for Reducing the Odds for World War 111” at 3:15 today in 309 Bridge.
A question period in which students may discuss Dr. Berkes’ plan will follow his lecture.
“I certainly have nothing against the plan submitted at last week’s meeting,” Dr. Berkes said yesterday. He referred to Dr. Frank Baxter's plan to send a group of Americans to Moscow to try to solve the problems separating the two countries.
“It is a useful gesture but I think the fundamental difference in policy is too big to be solved by a committee as suggested by Dr. Baxter.”
The lecture, sponsored by CAI is the fourth in a series of nine and is open to all students.
PAT JOHNSON . . . sweetheart

Dr. Baker Says Church Dug In'
“What are we doing all dug in?”
This was the question asked by Dr. Milford L. Baker, dean of thc California Baptist seminary at Los Angeles, in a preview’ of his speech. "The Church in Action,” noon today in Bowne hall.
Dr. Baker asserted, “The church has been entrenched too long. It’s time for all of us to go into action.”
Sponsored by the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, the lecture will elaborate on the place of the Christian church in the modem world.
After nearly a year of disappointment and delay, radio station KTRO, 750 on your dial, returns to the air at 12 noon today with a series of platter parades, news broadcasts, serials, and special talent programs.
Station Manager Dean Leirle announced that KTRO will broadcast five days a week, beginning each day at noon. The station will operate 10 hours Monday and Thursday, nine hours Tuesday and Wednesday, and six hours Friday.
Telephone response to weekend testing operations has proved that every living unit on campus is within the range of the station, Leirle said.
The station went off the air last June when $800 worth of equipment was stolen from the central control room. A series of unfortunate setbacks prevented replacement
of the apparatus until recently. In the meantime the control room was used as ^ clasroom.
During the quiet period station staffers completely revamped their broadcasting schedule and came up with new programs tailored exclusively to campus life.
A half-hour show titled “Twelve Tunes” will be the station opener at noon today. This fast-moving program consists of the latest popular tunes by the nation’s favorite recording artists.
Complete news summaries from the wires of the United Press and the KTRO-KUSC newsroom will be flashed to listeners regularly. Daily news broadcasts will be at 12:30, 1:55, 2:55, and 6:55.
At 1:30 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. KIRO w-ill present its answer to the soap opeia, serials with “Lorraine Oerter Reads." Lorraine
Carter wili read from a popular novel in sequences designed to leave the listeners in suspense at the end of each program. First book will be “Rebecca,” by Daphne DuMaurier.
Lierie and Pi Phi Gloria Wells will take the mike at 3 p.m. on the “Guy and Gal” show. This half-hour record request program will cater particularly to the sororities and women's dorm.
‘‘Campus Parade” at 6:30 will provide nightly except Friday a combination of late campus news from the Daily Trojan newsroom and popular recordings.
Following at 6:50, “Campus Commentary” will give a campus politico five minutes to air his views cn some issues in the news. Cal Schmidt and Howard Kotler share the berth tonight to talk about the Trojan Chest.
