Victory Aims ...
We are at this time in the waning days of another football sea
son about this time much is said of the qualifications of this and
that star on the various top teams of the nation for Ail-American
mention. Unfortunately, frequent mention is also made of the mis
plays these same individual players were responsible for which either
prevented the team from winning or from making additional points.
Quarterbacks are especially good targets for second guessers. The
fact, for example, that one quarterback called for a pass on a first
down after he had engineered his team to his opponent's thirteen
yard line is given much notorious publicity to that individual's discredit.
Much is said about boners without realizing that during the heat of
battle where mental and physical strain is tremendous, the mind is
frequently hazy and a bit beclouded, to say nothing about the fact
that errors are frequently excusable among youths who encounter
such stress and excitement.
Let us turn now to similar situations on the international battle
fields where mishaps occur under similar though greater conditions
the results and repercussions of which are certainly more important
to us at the moment than which teams will play in the Rose Bowl
on January 1.
Twenty-four hours after the American armed forces assisted by
their British Allies achieved what is probably the greatest military
and political stroke m this war, the British Prime Minister addressed a
fathering in London.
During the course of his discussion, he told of the victories
achieved in Egypt over the Axis by the armies under the command
of General Montgomery composed of Empire forces as well as Ameri
cans. He then proceeded to give credit for the plan to invade Africa
to President Roosevelt, stating that be himself had been only a will
ing Lieutenant in the undertaking. Assuring the French people, that
the invasion was only for their liberation after the destruction of
Nazism and Fascism, he went on to promise that Great Britain did
not covet any French possession and that the French Empire would
be restored. Then came the boner, and the news fodder for this
editorial.
"Lest there be any misunderstanding in any quarter," be said,
we mean to bold our own.
"I did not become His Majesty's first minister to preside over the
disintegration of the British Empire." This while our marines, soldiers,
and sailors were yet storming Casablanca and Oran.
Did we say boners T Certainly Mr. Churchill knows better than to
make a statement that would cause world wide repercussions. He
knows as do we all that we are not fighting for the preservation
of the French Empire in North Africa. He knows that th basis
for this gigantic struggle is to free all people from the Axis yoke.
The people of the entire work! are staging this battle to win
freedom of speech, to worship God in their chosen way, to have free
dom from want these points all were a part of the Atlantic Charter.
They are fighting to destroy Nazi ideals which find no room for the
liberties which would come with a United Nations victory and the
points set forth in the Atlantic Charter.
But we are NOT fighting for the status quo ante beClum.
Victory for the free peoples of the world means much more than
the mere restoration of territorial possessions. These things should
not form a part of the ultimate aims of victory.
No, Mr. Churchill, restoring Dutch and French possessions are not
what we are fighting for, nor are we fighting for the possessions of
our enemies or even our own victory today means much more than
that The California Daily Bruin.

AAC Refuses
To Ask Draft
Deferment
The Association of American
colleges, which met in closed ses
sion at Philadelphia recently voted
down a proposal to urge congress
to defer draft-threatened students
until the end of the academic year.
The educators, representatives
of 600 American colleges and uni
versitie mostly liberal arts insti
tutions-felt that the army knew
best about the when and where of
its manpower needs.
In an action designed to bring
colleges closer to the war effort,
the association considered and ap
proved a plan for an enlisted train
ing corps which provides for plac
ing men over 17 with a high school
education in colleges and universi
ties for specialized and officer
training. Under the plan, the army
and navy would choose its candi
dates for the corps, and the men
would study in uniform, receiving
base pay and subsistence during
the four semester, year-round
training period.
The association also put its
stamp of approval on a plan to
speed up education at women's col
leges which have not yet inaugu
rated accelerated programs. In
the sports field, the educators ap
proved a proposal to confine in
tercollegiate matches to the last
game of a season, and concentrate
on intramural contests during the
rest of the year.
Long Hair
am
Crew Cuts
By Jean Botton
The record business is booming
in spite of talk about stopping
production of the discs. New on
the market is a "talkie" album,
Dickens Christmas Carol, with
Basil Rath bone as Scrooge and
Leith Stevens as composer and
conductor of the incidental music.
It's a sweet story, written by
Dickens to alleviate a little finan
cial embarrassment, and has had
a nice transcription. The timing
seemed a little fast, but perhaps
that's too hasty an opinion.
For fun get Miller's Juke Box
Saturday Night, with Tex Beneke,
Marian Hutton, and the Modern
aires doing the vocal honors. The
imitations of Harry James and the
Ink Spots should amuse. Especial
ly super smooth is the other side,
Sleepy Town Train, complete with
muted trumpets and slow beat.
Interesting to Lily Pons fans is
her new album of Mozart arias,
which contains a masterpiece of
musical parody, the "Vengeance
Aria" from Die Zauberflote; the
simple, romantic Voi Che Sapete
from The Marriage of Figaro;
Ache, Ich Liebte and Blond ine's
Aria, both from Die Entfubrung
aus dem Serail; and Alleluia from
the motet Exultate. The selections
give Miss Pons a chance to dis
play her range and technique in
the florid style as well as her
somewhat newly-acquired Mozar
Lian cleanness and exactness,
which are in the way of being
rare in a coloratura.
A recent faculty recital pre
sented another new faculty mem
ber, Mrs. Helen Travis Avery, who
won great approval from her
audience.
What it liked particularly was
her fluency, sound technique, and
enthusiastic interpretations. She
was more than ably assisted by
her husband, Mr. Avery.
Ernest Harrison, pianist of
much local note, furnished the
middle group. Best liked was his
concluding Liszt number, but most
outstanding was the Debussy,
which commanded expectant at
tention with its atmospheric tone
coloring.

contestants showed appreciation
of the quality of poster that was
expected of them, for ao one of
them reported to cheap, sensation

The campus sales campaign to

Theatre Abhsicoqskdos
Partial Cast of Flay
. . . Still Lack Leads
As the Temple Theatre calms
down and reverberations from the
season's first smash hit die away,
casting for the second university
play is now nearly completed.
Due to the success of "Out of
the Frying Pan" it was difficult

of "This Is the Army, Mr. Jones."
Ed Lof makes good on the stage
as he has done with his military
endeavors. Stalwart Bob Hyde
comes out of retirement to prove
that he hasn't lost his touch.
For the Sig Alphs, Bob Fast,
another of the fast "Innocents" or
vice versa, does justice to his part
in Hitler's Court along with Tiny
Jack Rokahr whose size makes
him a typical Storm Trooper. And
then there will be another institu
tion on hand, Darrel Ludi, along
with old Pete Durland.
Ed Fayttinger lifts his voice for
the Sigma Chi serenade cause to
supplement Dick Arnold, cadet
colonel, who develops along with
the show. Then, there will be Paul
Toren, supporting -Ronnie Metz
and Bob McNutt.
What Legs!
For the Sammie style show,
Phil Kantor, still another Inno
cent, will show his knees and
graceful attributes in a short skirt.
With debater Art Rivin out in
front to bark the show, the style
show should come off without
hitch. Bob Bramson, shy but ro
mantic basketballer will have his
say as a blushing bride.
With their conception of a Juke
Box ala Phi Psi style, Bob Guen
zel, Dave Walcott, Innocent,
Spencer Porter, Nebraska's an
swer to the football season; Ernie
Larson, who already this season
demonstrated a dramatic touch
that was the stand-out part of the
recent ballet; and George t iggott
will attempt to prove that music
hath charms.
In the Fiji skit, John Binning,
campus crier, turns someway and
comes out m a trance. Newt Cop
pie will probably wrestle with
temptation as he did several times
last grappling season. There will
be a couple of Wolfs thrown in,
Dewayne and Frank, for good
measure.

the faculty granted permission
members of the activity commit
tee met last Monday and decided
to sponsor the dancing, which
opens at 12 tomorrow.
Roping off a portion of the
ballroom each day to make danc
ing more "cozy," only expense to
students will be nickels to keep
the juke box going. The ballroom
will be open six days a week
unless it is in use for other meet
ings of programs.
"Juke Box Serenades,'' held two
Saturdays so far this year, has
had an increased attendance on
each successive night and will be
continued with another this week.
Last Saturday over 150 students
attended. These are entirely free

Social Danoers Meet
The regular Wednesday night
social dancing class will meet to
night. Of the freshman class at Be
midji, (Minn.), State Teachers
college, 18.2 percent were high
school valedictorians or saluta
torians. Enrollment at Catholic Univer
sity of America has reached 1,875.
Ag YMCA Opens Membership
Drive, Offers Varied Activities
Personal improvement through
activities, pleasure derived from
social functions and privileges to
which all members are entitled
are some of the advantages of
fered by the ag TMCA which is
holding its annual membership
drive this week.
With a goal of material increase
In membership, the ag YM wishes
to acquaint new members with the
conferences, creative leisure,
farm op, freshman ti.J boy's
work, luncheon forums and the
social council which lt sponsors.
Among some of the social func
. tiona are square dancing, meetings
for Director Joe Zimmerman to
choose another play for its succes
sor. However, choosing the play
nroved to be only a small portion
of the difficulty. Getting a release
on "Arsenic and Old Lce" was
the biggest stepping stone to be
crossed.
In constant demand since Its
first production, "Arsenic and Old
Lace" has been released just this
year to non-professionals and the
Nebraska University Theatre is
fortunate in being one of the first
organizations to receive produc
tion rights, Zimmerman said.
Although tryouts for the play
started last week, the complete
cast has not yet been selected. The
ingenue and the young male lead
arc still undiscovered but other
members of the cast include:
Martha BeDgtson, Dick Putney,
Bob Hyde, Dick Silverman, Janice
Marx, Larry Wentz, Larry Taylor,
Bud Swartz, Romulo Soldevilla,
Glenn Nelson and Bob Black.

defects that prevent them from
serving in the army and navy.
"They have also found that those
who do not have medical defects
and are taken in are so weak and
undeveloped that the military
training is held up until the army
and navy can strengthen and con
dition them. Since that is true
the army and navy are making
every effort that they can to
make the boys, and girts too,
stronger and more rugged for war
service."
Trains Delegates.
In cooperation with the army
and the navy are various organ
izations which have prepared a
program for use in high schools.
This program has been prepared
and printed by the Army, Navy,
U. S. Public Health Service, Divi
sion of Physical Fitness of the
Office of Defense, Health and
Welfare Services, public schools,
and the U. S. Office of Education.
Now the purpose of introduc
ing and interpreting this program
to the high school administrator
and teachers is that those attend
ing will go back home and serve
as a faculty for a series of local
training groups in each state.
States attending the Lincoln re
gional are Nebraska, Kansas, Colo
rado, Iowa, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, and Wyoming. Ap
proximately 150 delegates are ex
pected. As yet this program is only for
high school students. A college
program has been prepared and
win be available after Christmas.
Faculty in charge of the re
gional here will be Major Birch
Bayh of the Army air force, Lt
Commander Charles Forsyth e of
the division of physical training
of the United States Navy, Cap
tain Callen Tjader of the special
service division of the United
States army.
