4'V\7'HILE students are more or less settled in
* * times of peace, war upsets them emotionally,
Because of this condition, they need greater guid
ance and frequent counseling not only in their
courses, but in their extra curricular activities and
personal problems as well. Proper personnel guid
ance is particularly important when we consider that
education is seeking to do a great deal more than pro
duce scholars. Education is seeking to develop the
values which make an all-round citizen with con
structive abilities and wholesome philosophies of life.
To aim at any such goal, however, all activities on
a college campus must be included in the education
program, which means a consideration of life outside
the classroom as well.” — Dr. Harry Noble Wright,
president of City College of New York, calls for more
guidance for collegians.

npUESDAY will be goodbye clay at the University. “Good
bye, we’ll be back,’’ or “Goodbye, we’re sorry to see you
go,” will be the passwords and countersigns.
Hut “goodbye” is a sad word in itself. Working on the idea
that it’s not so hard to say goodbye if you’re laughing at the
same time, super-organizer Len Barde and his ERC rally com
mittee have prepared an assembly at the Igloo which is a nat
ural to provide a good excuse for laughing and generally hav
ing a good time.
According to present plans, the show can't miss with a
troop of experienced and talented entertainers including Ray
Dickson as master of ceremonies, Ted Loud to lead the yells
on the program, a community sing number with original words
and music about the ERC to be written by Helen Jane Kerr,
versatile Helen Holden performing one of her dance routines,
and the “Four Knights and a Dream"—Eugene Cecchini, Don
Bridcnstinc, Paul Heard, Frank Sardam, and Charlotte Goe
thing’—a group of close-harmony crooners.
The whole thing will start with a triple snowball rally to
end at McArthur court for the assembly beginning at 7 :15.
* * * «
JEVYRLl KR—2 p.m.—an Army Day assembly will be held in
McArthur court honoring not only the ERC boys leaving
that night, but all University students entering service with
the armed forces. Dr. Erb will preside at the predominantly
patriotic assembly. The Army Day theme will hold to the
end with talks bv Col. C. L. Sampson, head of the ROTC de
partment, and Col. Carlton E. Spencer, assistant state director
of selective service.
Col. Sampson’s talk will be concerned with “Tactics” and
should be of great interest to those about to find out in a very
practical way about tactics. The address by Col. Spencer will
be the highlight of the evening. Col. Spencer is judge advo
cate general of the state as well as assistant director of the
draft.
r|~'HK student part of the Army Day-Goodbye Day celebra
tions is especially interesting because of the fact that it
M ill be another example of an event planned entirely bv stud
ents. Iyes Anderson, Len Barde, and Betty Kincaid made most
of the contacts themselves and are making sure that the show
■will be a good one. Rehearsals are being planned to iron out
the continuity and Bob Sell, new rally squad chairman, is plan
ning a sure-fire snowball rally to hit every house on the
campus.
Kach house will be expected to produce a sign, on an ap
propriate theme, to be carried in the parade.
With expected cooperation from the rest of the students
this rally can’t possibly be a flop. — J. L. B.

Unconfirmed ‘reports coming
out of Tunisia Friday announce
junctures of both Allied and en
emy forces. The British and
American armies were said to
have joined north of Gabes, and
Berlin claimed that Rommel had
finally made contact with von
Arnheim’s armies of the north.
Neither report was confirmed by
official sources, however.
No decisive actions were an
nounced Friday, but Americans
did repulse a savage counterblow
atteempted by a strong tank unit
of Rommel’s retreating Africa
corps.
Planes and Strategy
Allied planes continued their
sweeping blows along the fight
ing fronts and out over the Med
iterranean. The intensity of the
aerial action in this theater was
evidenced in the 100-plane raid
carried out over Sardinia by
American flying fortresses Thurs
day.
Large numbers of ships and
planes were destroyed in this
raid which blasted a concentra
tion apparently being prepared
for the Axis evacuation of Tu
nisia.
Russian Front
The fighting in Russia has
slowed to a more moderated tem
po in the past few days, but the
latest Russian reports indicate
the possibility of large scale ac
tion in the near future. Accord
ing to the Friday communique,
Germany is rushing huge num
bers of fresh troops, tanks and
guns into the Ukraine. Rail lines
were reported jammed with sup
ply trains bringing up reinforce
ments for what may be a new
German offensive on a scale com
parable to that of last spring and
summer.
Most important action on the
eastern front at present is tak
ing place in the Caucasus where
Red troops are driving down the
Kuban river in an attempt to
split the German forces guarding
the approaches to Novorossisk
and the Black Sea.
Biggest Dogfight
The only hint of important ac
tion in the southwest Pacific is
seen in the report of large for
mations of Japanese Zeros ap
pearing over the Solomons area
and resulting in a dogfight that
nearly topped anything yet seen
in that area. The defending
Americans shot down sixteen • of
the attacking planes witli a loss
of six of our own craft.
Air action is playing the ma
jor part in Pacific action for the

They will watch for planes and

A. C P.'t Correspondent Reports from Washington
WASHINGTON — (ACPI —
When OWI explored the ques
tions troubling college students
most a few weeks ago, it dis
covered one of the most urgent
was this:
“When they release millions of
us from the army after the war,
will there be jobs enough to go
around ?”
The answer to that one de
pends largely on Congress. The
outline for a “yes” answer now
lies before it in the epic, 5-pound,
450,000-word National Resources
Planning board report on "Secur
ity. Work and Relief Policies.’’
There's a detailed section in
the report on demobilization of
men, machines and economic con
trols when war ends. It says: “We
shall not be content this time to
give each man $6 and a ticket
home.”
The big suggestions all aim at
keeping our economy running
during the transition from war
to peace. Dismissal wages for
soldiers, government supervision
of industrial reconversion, aid in
opening vast new areas for in
vestment, assistance to indus
tries in need of capital, enforce
ment of labor standards, initia
tion of a large-scale public works

Between
The Lines *
By BOY PAUL NELSON
ONE OF THE BITTEREST
tragedies of the war seems to be
that of those students who
signed up for a class at the men's
pool in order to avoid the obsta
cle course. For it has been de
creed that swimmers must spend
one period each week on the ob
stacles.
Said one disillusioned paddler
when he heard the news: “I been
robbed!” Wailed another: “Heav
ens.” One character seemed un
impressed. “So what?” was his
response.
What’s This ?
“Don’t you realize what
means?” someone asked. “Aren't
you afraid?”
“Doesn’t phaze me,” insisted
the character.
“How come you can take it
like that?” begs one fascinated
listener.
“I am affiliated with the ERC,”
says the character. “I am with
drawing from the University to
morrow.”
A Marked Woman
La Rue Bogges, another one
of those queens from Henhall,
took advantage of Thursday’s
sunshine and as a result now has
a colorful case of sunburn. Her
formal date tonight with the ma
gician we told you about in the
last column had her a little wor
ried, because the marks of her
swimsuit straps were evid^
and may not have been covered
by her formal.
But she had it all figured out.
She was going to go out the next
day and get the strap marks sun
burned in order to procure an
even shade of tan. There is one
flaw in her plan. Maybe no more
sunshine.
Brain Food
Dr. Kenneth Duncan, lecturer
from Pomona who is speaking on
the campus this weekend for the
Inter-American Relations insti
tute, tells a story about a Scotch
man and an Englishman who
went fishing:
The Scot suggested that £
first one who caught a fish give
the other a drink. Before long
the Englishman caught a fish. He
gave his partner a drink.
“Well, well,” said . Sandy, “I
think I’ll bait my lk>ok now.”
