Campus Cleanup Scheduled for Today Excitement began to mount last night when several eager coeds climbed into jeans and went out after dinner to survey the areas to which their houses had been assigned for the annual campus clean-up campaign today. Each house will begin policing up their individual section of the Uni versity acres today, and by tonight Gloria Malloy and Bob Smith, chairmen of the committee in charge, expect to see all lawns and streets cleared of papers and un sightly debris. "The girls will be allowed to wear jeans and slacks during the actual clean-up work. Here's a chance to get out into the sun for a tan and be doing a real service to the school while you clean up your areas,” maintained Miss Malloy. Bob “Joe College” Smith added: "and don’t forget that the house which does the best all-around job of cleaning up will be awarded a prize at the big campus luncheon Saturday.” The area around the College Side Inn, Taylor’s, and down Kin caid to the YWCA bungalow has been assigned to Hilyard house, Birch lodge, and Rebec house. The foregoing three houses had not been assigned an area in yester day’s report. Dr. H. Herring Outlines Three Basic Ingredients Three ingredients needed for sound Inter-American relations were outlined by Dr. Hubert Herring, director of committee on cultural relationships with Latin America, in a talk Wednesday night for the institute of Inter-American affairs. “Realism is the first of these ingredients. You can’t build sound relations with sweet music, and there has been too much ox this and not enough realism," ^>r. Herring said. Second of the ingredients is imagination, the director stated, because imagination is always needed in dealing with people. Greatest of the ingredients is is respect, Dr. Herring emphasized. “The fundamental thing wrong with the relations now is that few people of the United States expect anything good to come from South America. There can never be any good Pan-Americanism without respect,” he said. Dr. Herring . traced the begin nings of Pan-Americanism from AJie dreams of Simon Bolivar to the present "good neighbor" policy. That Latin Americans are sus picious at times of this sudden fondness for them was stressed by the doctor. "It’s gotten so that the South Americans can just send a penny postcard to Washington and get anything from the Congressional Record to an admiral with a full fleet in return,” the Columbia graduate laughed. The way to go about obtaining better relations, according to Dr. Herring, is through economic co operation, based upon stabilization of currency and a strengthening of industry; and through cultural interchange. v ’ - “Inter-Americanism cannot be a political football if it is to suc ceed,” he warned.

Wartime restrictions prevent the serving of the supper by the junior class, but ice cream and cof fee will be provided, to go with the suppers which must be brought from home. Tickets for the picnic will be sold in each living organization for 25 cents. Traditions will be the order of the day and it is warned that pen alties will be stiff for those who don’t conform. There are to be no white shoes worn by students of any class. Freshman girls must continue to wear their green ribbons, and boys must wear their class pants. Girls cannot talk to boys until the queen is crowned. Fellows can talk to the girls, however, and a word to the wise should be sufficient. Girls, don't answer! Girls who have been guilty of slipping up on traditions this week will be dunked in the pool next to Fenton hall, and those who talk to the wrong sex will receive the same punishment. Boys not obey ing the rules will be unceremon iously hacked. The program of the picnic will be highlighted by the crowning of Queen Anita. The traditional tap ping of the honoraries, Mortar Board, senior women’s honorary, Friars, senior men's honorary, and Asklepiads, medical fraternity, will take place. Announcement has been made that during the picnic there will be a Canoe Fete. Order of 'O' Men Dish Out Medicine The evcr-vigilant Order of the “O” has reported a long list of of fenders of Junior Weekend tradi tions. The following people must report at 12:45 this afternoon on the front steps of Fenton hall, “to take their medicine,’’ says Herb Hoffman, president. Those who did not report yester day to get their hacks were A1 Halteman, Robert E. Clark, Gor don Gellatly, Bill Patterson, Paul McBride, Don Jeppeson, Dick Potter. New offenders to the crimes of walking on the lower campus lawn, smoking there, or not wearing their class pants, were: Don Tay lor, Joe Lind, Glenn Fisher, Sam Benvenisti, Bob Schott, Bill Baird, Bill Patterson, Harry Lee, Bob Smith, Fred Hessel, Morrie Mink, Bob Bisset, Dick Johns, Paul Mc Bride, Keith Murphy, Russ Mona han, Winthrop Ware, Bill Patter son (for the third time), C. W. Osborn, Roy Koski, Bob Mueller, Don Tucker, Gilbert Roberts, Art Butterfield, Edward McDonald.

Jean MacPherson was the sole girl to be caught today. 1 Weekenders to See Dramatists in Action A special feature has been added to the Junior Weekend pro gram.
