Not All Successful
“Now the U.S. sees that many f the measures attempted have pparently run their course, that merican troops and dollars and hnology do not always solve ne problems of world politics, nd that collective security is ill unachieved,” Dr. von Klein-mid and Dr. Coons stated.
“Again, Americans must fix heir sights upon the great objectives of peace and prosperity in American foreign policy and relate these historic ideals to the realities of conditions as they obtain todav.
Three newcomers are slated to join the teaching staff of the School of Journalism this semester.
These assistant professors of journalism are Miss Jo Hoffman, Robert B. Rhode, and Robert R. Kirsch.
Miss Hoffman, an attractive addition to the J-School, plans to teach reporting, women’s page, and the community newspaper this semester.
From Missouri
Born in Trenton, Mo., she lived most of her life in that state where she acquired varied journalistic experience after her graduation from the University of Missouri in 1944 with a bachelor of journalism degree.
For two years Miss Hoffman was editor of the Republican Times, a Missouri daily.
Her biggest venture was owning the Grundy County (Mo.) Gazette for six years. Under her
supervision this paper became a
prize-winning weekly, receiving annual awards from the University of Missouri. After five years she turned the Gazette l'nto a daily.

RAZY, MIXED-UP RATS IN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
Some real nervous rats are now being developed in the SC School of Medicine.	*
These crazy, mixed-up rats aren’t jazz fans, however. They re hypertensive. Spontaneous development of hypertension, or high blood pressure, three months after birth of the experimental rats is the object of the medical school’s newest research program.
This is the first strain of rats to be selectively bred to develop a hereditary tendency to hypertension,” Dr. D. M. Green, associate clinical professor of medicine, explained.
Originally the line was started from three strains of laboratory rats and one wild strain. Five generations have been produced so far, Dr. Green said.
Dr. Green is attempting to create a strain of hypertensive rats in the hope of discovering treatments for humans suffering from high blood pressure.
“Hypertension in humans appears to involve a definite hereditary factor,” the doctor explained. “If one of your parents had hypertension, there is one chance in Jour that you will develop it. If both your parents had hypertension the chances are one in two that you will
foave it.
“High blood pressure causes about half the deaths from heart disease, and heart disease is the nation’s No. 1 killer—eight times more deadly than cancer,” Dr. Green continued.
came production manager in an advertising agency.
Her position before coming to SC was that of managing editor of the Inter-City press, which puts out tour suburban weeklies and one monthly in Missouri.
A member of Theta Sigma Phi, national journalism sorority, Miss Hoffman will be adviser to the SC chapter.
She also belongs to the American Association of University Women and the National Federation of Press Women.
Family Man
Born in a log cabin near Ran-chester, Wyo., Robert B. Rhode is another new arrival to the School of Journalism.
He is married and has two children, a 16-month-old girl and a boy two months.
For five years Rhode taught journalism at the University of Denver, where he had previously earned his A.M. in American history. Part of this time SC Journalism Prof. William A. Glenn served as head of the journalism department there.
When Glenn learned this summer that there were vacancies in SC’s J-School, he asked Rhode to take a position here.
Publicity Work Rhode did publicity work as assistant to the editor at the University of Wyoming, where he got his A.B. •
He later added to his editorial experience by reporting for a daily in Wyoming, which was in the process of being sold.
After he started working, all the other reporters quit, hot because of him, but because conditions on that paper were shaky. For a while he was not only star, reporter, but also most of the staff.
Former News Editor Other jobs include news editor of the Wyoming Eagle in Cheyenne, four years in the Army, 18 months of which were spent in the Aleutian Islands, radio news
editor in Denver, copyreader for
the Rocky Mountain News in
Denver, and managing editor of
the Rocket and Miner, a daily in Wyoming.
Slated to teach reporting, photography, copyreading, and introduction to the American newspaper this semester, Rhode says he is ‘‘quite pleased” with Los Angeles although he doesn’t care for the 45-mile drive here from Costa Mesa, where he resides.

Daily morning and noon services will be held in the Little Chapel of Silence, located in back of Town and Gown dormitory, it was announced Friday.
Beginning at 12:10, the noon services will last 30 minutes. They are to be conducted by religious clubs on campus or the university chaplain.
Thursday noons, by tradition, are reserved for celebration of the Holy Communion by a minister of the Protestant Episcopalian church.
Every morning at 7:30 each school day, a prayer and devotional service of the Trojan Christian Fellowship is held.
Throughout the remainder of the morning and afternoon the chapel is open for private individual worship. Persons or groups who wish to reserve the chapel for special meetings such as weddings, may do so through the chaplain’s office.
“All students are very cordially invited to attend the chapel services,” Chaplain Clinton Neyman said.
New Trovets Being Accepted
The Trojan football band, under the direction of Tommy Walker, is issuing an urgent call for new or returning students who want to Rlay in the band.
With the home opening of the football season just a week away, Walker needs replacements for members lost by graduation and service calls. “The band has lost 18 men to the armed forces in the last three weeks,” said Walker.
Need More Members At present the band has only 60 members and 60 more are needed to bring it up to the marching size of 120. Walker emphasized that the band is not limited to music majors. “All registered students are eligible to play in the band and take part in its activities,” he said.
Interested students may contact Walker at the band building at 902 West 37th place, or by calling Richmond 2311, Ext. 444.
Established Traditions The band was the official musical group in this year’s Rose parade, and walker hopes to carry on from where they left off. “The SC student body is proud of its band and we need a full membership to continue the fine traditions w.e have established.” As in past years, all band members will receive a ticket to each home game, a lunch * before the game, and the expense-paid trip to Berkeley for the California game. Rehearsals are scheduled on Wednesdays and Fridays from 3:15 to 5 and Saturdays from 9 to noon. Uniform fittings are being held today and tomorrow at the band office.
Outstanding Alumni Dies
Dr. Frank Forrest Barham, 74, who was graduated from SC in the class of 1906, died at his home recently.
Dr. Barham, who served as a trustee at SC, took an active part in alumni affairs through the years. In 1939 he was president of the General Alumni association, and in 1936, was chairman of homecoming week.
He was graduated from the SC College of Physicians and Surgeons, and practiced medicine until 1911 when he assumed a management post on the old Los Angeles Herald. In 1922, he became publisher of that paper. Barham boulevard near North Hollywood was named after him in 1932 by the City Council.
Squires Meeting
A meeting for all members of Squires has been called for this afternoon at 2 o’clock in the senate chambers, fourth floor of the Student Union.
troduced to all the Trojan wheels, advised, luncheoned, dined, taken on tours to films, yell sessions, house parties, assemblies, and are so completely dazed by now that 99 per cent of them probably got lost and walked into the wrong class this morning.
Orientation Not Over
“Orientation doesn!t end with the beginning of classes, either,” chairman Don Kimble said as he outlined the remainder of his Troy Days program.
“An ,AMS Smoker for all new | men, and an AWS dinner for all new women are on tap for Wednesday night and we’re going to wind up these two activities with a mixer dance at the YWCA afterwards,” Joan Vasseur, AWS president, said.
“We intend to explain about various activities on campus during the Smoker,” AMS president Ernie Shag, said. “We also hope to show new men students how important these activities are and why they should become active Trojans right away.”
Religious Dinners
Several dinners, sponsored by campus religious groups, are scheduled for Thursday night.
“Perhaps the best of all the Orientation events, the Trojane House Party, is to take place this weekend,” Ann Fant, YWCA president, said.
“These parties are always fun and valuable too,” Miss Fant added. “This is the chance for the new freshmen women to really get acquainted with each other and with many women campus leaders, too,” she added.
Women’s Parties
A luncheon for freshman women, and parties for out-of-state and transfer women will conclude the Orientation program.
All three events are -to be sponsored and held at the YWCA. The freshman luncheon and tea party for out-of-state students are to take place on the 30th. Oct. 1 is the date set for the transfer women’s coke party.
“Orientation activities will end just in time for the new students to get ready for their first big college hurdle — five weeks exams,” Kimble said.
New members are now being accepted into Trovets, Orbun Powell, club president, announced yesterday.
Veterans may sign up at the Trovet table in front of the Student Union any time this week, Powell added.
Old members may pay their $1 semester dues either at the table or the Trovet Bookmart.

Activity Book Sale To End on Friday
$13 Admits Purchaser to All Athletic Events, Drama Functions
Deadline for obtaining activity books to get full use from them will be Friday, according to John Morley, university ticket manager. The season ticket costs $13 and admits the holder to ail the athletic activities of the year, with the exception of a possible additional charge for basketball games,

department, and entitles him to a copy of El Rodeo, the SC yearbook, said Morley.
Students may purchase the book I Monday through Friday at 3460 University avenue, across from Founders hall, from 9-4:30, and Monday through Thursday evenings from 5-7.
“A paid fee bill of 1 unit or more is all that is necessary for a student to be eligible for the activity book,” said Morley.
Spouse Books
“Spouse books” also are available for married students whose husbands or wives are not registered at SC, explained Morley.
These special books may be obtained at the same time. The registered member of the family also must purchase a book.
“This year,” said Morley, “holders of spouse books also are required to have their pictures taken the same as 'regular holders.”
Price of the activity book is up S1.50 from last year. The reason for this he explained is that there are “two $5 games on the football schedule this year, both UCLA and Notre Dame.
These games probably will have at least 6000 public season ticket holders behind the end zones.”
Least Expensive
Morley still considers the SC activity book the least expensive in the country, since it entitles the holder to a copy of El Rodeo besides the athletic activities.
A claim check for seats at the Minnesota and Indiana games will be given to purchasers, said Morley. Completed activity books with photographs will be distributed before the Oregon State game.
Students planning to purchase an activity book are reminded that they must have their fee bill at the time of purchase. If a student has lost his fee bill, he will not be able to purchase or later claim his activity book unless he obtains a duplicate bill at the auditor’s office, which is located in building 20 at 36th place.
