Classroom Collections To Be Taken
Eager-eyed Trojan Knights and Squires will save the day today for heavy-eyed students, when they interrupt all 10 a.m. classes to take up collections ofr the Trojan Chest drive.
The service organizaations; with! the aid of the Amazons and Spurs, will pass out envelopes in which students may place their contri-butionss. Contributors may designate on their envelope which of the seven charities they wish their money to aid.
Stan Tomlinson, chairman of the Knight’s Classroom committee said, “I hope, because of the increased need of every charity, student contributions will help the drive reach its $10,000 goal.”
Troy Camp will receive $6,000 of the proceeds, while 50 per cent of the remainder will go to aid the World Student Service Fund. SC’s YWCA and the Community Chest will take over 15 per cent each.
The Red Cross, March of Dimes, and SC's YMCA will also receive benefits.
repeated encores.
Two of the high spots of the program were Gamer’s interpretive renditions of “People Will Say1 We’re in Love” and “Laura.” His stylized recording of the latter first brought the pianist into national prominence.
Red Norvo's trio, vibes, bass, and electric guitar, delivered a sock arrangement of ‘ Temptation” that brought the house down. He followed this with “September Song” and a Shearing-like arrangement of “How High the Moon.”
Harry the Hipster, between plugs for his current stand at the Club Bayou, wound up the show with his sequel to “The Thing.”
“We don’t know the exact amount of money we took in from the show toward the Trojan Chest, but it will probably amount to around $250 after taxes and minor expenses are taken out,” Joe Weinman, Trojan Chest chairman, said.
Further plans of the Trojan Chest include a penny pitch, sponsored by the sophomore class; a baseball throw, sponsored by the junior class; and a skill game, sponsored by Alpha Delta Sigma These events will be carried on in the islands on University avenue Thursday and Friday.

GORDON MUNFORD . . . good job
Munford Does Mr. T Songs
Onlookers at the “Mr. Trojanality Goes to Paris” show, Thursday and Friday, will undoubtedly attribute much of Mr. Trojanali-ty’s success with the ladies to his outbursts of song.
The man who is responsible for mo6t of Mr. T.'s lyrical talent is Gordon Munford, musical director of the original musical comedy.
Munford. a music major and last year's musical director of the “Mr. Trojanality” show, has an unending list of professional musical experiences.
When 15 years old, “Gordie,” as Munford is more often called, made his debut as a concert pianist in his home town of Sacramento. At that age he also held his first professional dance date.
“Gordie” studied piano two years with Darius Milnaust, a teacher of Pete Rugalo who is the arranger for Stan Kenton's orchestra.
Two of Munford's musical compositions have reached the top. They have been played by the San Francisco Philharmonic and the Oakland Philharmonic.
The diverse score of the Trojanality show contains romantic ballads and novelty numbers, solos and choruses.
The 50-cent tickets for the 8 pun. show's will be on sale this week in front of Doheny Memorial Library building. Sales will begin at 9 a.m. and close at 3 p.m.
Receipts of the musical comedy will be added to the Trojan Chest.
Ceylon Official To Speak to Faculty Club
Hyink Calls Old Semester Wait Harmful to Coed Scholarship
Women students entering the university next fall will be eligible for immediate pledging into sororities, it was announced today by Bernard L. Hyink, dean of students.
For the past seven years, SC has operated under a deferred rushing system, which meant that freshmen women students enrolling for the first time j had to wait a semester before they could join a sorority.
Will Aid Adjustment Said Dean Hyink, "TVe feel that immediate rushing will aid women students in gaining all possible assistance in learning to adjust themselves to the purposes and standards of the sororities and the university.”
Return to the immediate rushing plan was the result of an extensive study by the University Committee on Student Activities and its faculty-student sub-committee on fraternities and sororities. Their recommendations have the approval of President Fred D. Fagg Jr.
Will Motivate Scholarship “Deferred rushing has become prolonged rushing,*’ the committee said, “and has harmed the scholarship of prospective and active sorority members.” The committee believed immediate rushing would give all coeds greater motivation for good scholarship, help orient freshmen women to college life, make friends for new coeds, and help them enter into the tempo of college life more quickly.
No More Gossip . Said the committee, “Deferred rushing places sororities so much in the limelight that they do not seem to be typical campus organizations and certain sororities suffer unduly from campus ‘gossip’ during the first semester when the pledging of members is uncertain.
This has a detrimental effect upon small houses.”
Details for putting the plan into operation will be worked out by the Panhellenic council.
University men have always been able to join fraternities as soon as they registered.
The SC Men’s Faculty club will hear His Excellency, G. C. S. Corea, first Ambassador of Ceylon in the United States, at their Wednesday luncheon. His topic will, be “The Role of Ceylon in Asia” Ambassador Corea will also address a public audience at 3; 15 p.m. in 129 Founders hall discussing “From Crown Colony to Independence in Ceylon.”
The Ceylon National Congress, the largest politcial group in Ceylon, elected him president three times. His period as minister was marked by progressive labor and commercial legislation and by the creation of a Department of Industries and establishment by the state of ten big industries.
He also established the first state-aided commercial bank and the Industrial and Agricultural Credit corporation.
His Excellency was appointed ambassador in 1948 climaxing a polii-cal career begun in 1930. In 1931, he was elected a member of the Ceylon State Council and was its minister of home affairrs on two occasions. In 1936, he was re-elected to the council and became minister for labor, industry and commerce for ten years.
In 1946, he resigned as minister and was appointed the Ceylon government representative in London. He received his appointment to Washington two years later.

from whom they were stolen. north of the 38th parallel on the west central front.
Veterans’ Representative Allen A. Arthur yesterday charged “political hay raking” in the Greater University committee’s “Little Kefauver” investigation.
The charge is an outgrowth of an announcement made at the ASSC Senate meeting Wednesday night that reports of student body organizations and committees should be turned over to the investigators today.
Arthur followed with his own announcement, “I have destroyed the questionnaires sent me.”
ASSC President Al Wiggins stepped in to the picture and said. “The request for information wasj only a request, not a command. Re- j ceivers of the questionnaires don't have to return them.”
“Since most of the requested information is available to anyone j who reads the Daily Trojan and| is also filed in the offices of the: dean of students, AMS, and ASSC; president, there seems little to be accomplished except political hay, raking,” said Arthur yesterday.
“For Mr. Harper to get a list of members of campus organizations1 at this time sounds like a preparation for an early harvest,” said Arthur.
The Greater U sub-committee, headed by Bob Shaw, had requested names of the members of the various organizations and a list of the activities of the groups in order to determine if they were functioning properly.
HONOLULU, Apr. 15 — (UP) — Thousands of Hawaiians will give Gen. Douglas MacArthur .his first welcome on his return to U.S. soil tomorrow.
The public will not be allowed to greet the returning general when his Constellation “Bataan” arrives at Hickam Air Force base tonight, but police estimated 120,000 to 170,-000 persons will line the streets when MacArthur tours this island capital tomorrow.
Navy and Air Force sources said the ‘ Bataan” was expected to land at Hickam field tonight at 11:50 p.m. HST (4:50 a.m. EST Monday). If the plane lands at Midway island to refuel, the arrival would be set back one hour.
Not since the late President Roosevelt met MacArthur and Fleet Adm. Chester Nimitz here in 1944 have police planned for such a large turnout.
Local and armed forces police have laid out a 40-mile tour of the general and his party, which will include a stop at the National Me-
morial cemetery, located in the punchbowl crater, an extinct volcano which rises sharply behind Honolulu's business district.
At the cemetery where 13,000 Pacific war dead lie buried, MacArthur will be met by Gen. Henry S. Aurand, commander of the U.S. Army in the Pacific. Aurand will Join the general’s party.
No ceremonies are planned at the cemetery.
From the punchbowl, the party will drive to the palm-shaded University of Hawaii campus -where MacArthur will receive in person the honorary doctor of civil law degree which was conferred upon him in absentia in July, 1946.
University President Dr. Gregg M. Sinclair will present the degree at public ceremonies in the university’s open air amphitheater.
Then the general's cavalcade will travel along a highway fringed with flowering African tulip trees, coconut palms and ironwoods to the Waikiki district where thousands are expected to line Kalakaua avenue—Waikiki's “main street.”
