This Week At War
By Albert Reddish
Arhing with the dispute m
Greece between Britain and the
left-wing E.A.M is a controversy
between Britain and the United
States over the degree of U. S.
support of British policy in
Greece.
Following a statement Wednes
day by Labor Minister Ernest
Bevin that Roosevelt had initialed
the plans of the British policy in
Greece came a statement from "a
high and reliable source" in
Washington that the United States
had approved division of the Bal
kans into military theaters but
had never agreed to any exercise
of influence in settling political
domination.
At the British labor party's an
nual conference Bcvin said "Rus
sia undertook to stabilize Ro
mania, and we undertook the
main problem in Greece in ac
cordance with this agreement with
Russia." If the British are act
ing upon the right to "stabilize,"
the controversy revolves around
a difference of interpretation of
the extent of action allowed by the
term.
Greek Situation Clearing.
English reports meanwhile indi
cate that the Greek situation,
which Sumner Welles says was
precipitated by failure to arrive at
a definite policy previous to the
invasion, may be cleared by Fri
day. Reporters say that E.L.A.S.
will withdraw but only if amnesty
is granted all leaders.
To avoid another disagreement
such m that in Greece, it is said
that the b'g three planning com
mission in London has agreed up
on a definite policy toward Ger
many. Details, of course, have
not been revealed, but it seems
certain that the Morgenthau plan
was rejected.
The Japanese have begun to
consider the B-29 a more serious
threat than formerly, when the
Tokyo government labeled the
Supcrbomber raids merely as at
tempts to shatter home morale.
Staling that the B-29 raids have
become serious, Tokyo radio re
vealed the Japs are strengthening
the defense system of the capital
Young and old who are not essen
tial to the war effort are being
evacuated, Berlin placing the first
contingent to leave the city at 20,-
000. As the WPB reported a 30
percent increase in B-29 produc
tion in November over October
the Japs announce they are pre
paring for raids comparable to
those on Germany. To combat
B-29 attacks they are building a
force of uicide planes.
Drive on Ormoc.
On the war fronts the Ameri
cans have taken Ormoc on Leyte
and now have to drive the Nips
from the Ormoc corridor. As al
lied forces have reached the out
skirts of Duren on the Roer, the
Seventh army is reported shelling
Germany across the Rhine farther
southeast. The Russians are ex
pected to begin their frontal as
sault on Budapest momentarily.
The war and navy departments
revealed Thursday that American
casualties total 562,468, with 483,
957 in the army and 78,511 in the
navy. Americans on the home
front meanwhile have only two
days left to meet the quota for
individual sales in the sixth war
loan drive. Lincoln and Nebraska
are as far short of their quota as
the entire United States.
Life In Love
By Pvt. Iftalph P. Murgenhagen
Following the lynching party
scheduled for Saturday night at
the coliseum, the AST's remain
ing in some degree of sobriety will
entertain at their second Union
dance of the month. This being
our last dance of the month, the
Yulctide theme will prevail in the
presence of the Pre-med s chorus,
under the direction of Sgt. Milton
J. Hassel. This noted group of
musicians will present a number
of Christmas carols, and other se
lections in keeping with the sea
son, in the Union lounge later in
the evening. Featured soloist of
the evening will be Pvt. Robert
Wallace, who will sing the Lord's
Prayer.
The AST band, possibly aug
mented by a few gifted civilian
students, will perform in its usual
sterling manner, with the chor
xises in the able hands of Miss
Marilyn Strong.
Romance, they tell us, contin
ues to run rampant; the return of
a goodly number of Air Corps Re
servists from furlough only add
ing: to the complex situation. To
report on individual affaires
d'amour seems next to impossible,
since the changes from day to day
sound like the U. S. weather re
port. Of some note, however, is the
news of the engagement of Pri
vate Bill Moller, Fre-med, (and
if that's not bad enough, the fel
low renowned for his recent pre
sentation of "the face on the bar
room floor") to Miss Bea HeratJ
of Nashua, N. II. To both of them
our heartiest congratulations.
The ERC's seem to have the
women situation well in hand.
The most important news of last
week centered around the con
tract between Privates Buglewicz
and Woodley. They decided to see
if they could keep away from
members of the opposite sex and
alcoholic beverages for one week.
Much to the amazement of their
buddies, they succeeded. The con
tract, however, expired at mid
night Friday. Saturday night was
a. different story, they struggled
in at 3:30 Sunday morning, look
ing slightly worse for wear.
Private Riven (ERC) was step
ping out in style Saturday night
The lure of Fletch Henderson and
the Pike was too much for him to
resist.
The ACER'S are having quite a
bit of trouble. Privates Fendorf
and Cardinal had some trouble
deciding who would get one at
tractive girl. Fendorf seems to be
ahead in the first round.
The Air Corps boys may be
pretty good at Aircraft recogni
tion, but night flying is going to
be tough for Private Preston. He
met a girl in a theater Saturday
night, asked her for a date, and
when he got outside found that he
had made a horrible mistake. Bet
ter eat your carrots Preston.
Tuesday evening the Pre-meds
were invited as guests to the Sig
ma Xi meeting in Morrill hall
Dr. Hosco Tngall
Conducts College
Veteran Survey
(ACP). "What are the other
Southern California colleges and
universities doing lor returning
servicemen?" was the question Dr
Roscoe Ingalls asked when he be'
gan mailing letters to the various
colleges asking about their vet
eran programs.
Many of these letters have been
answered, and the schools seem
to be working on one or more
of the following points which of
ficers of the armed forces and
government officials stressed, Dr.
Ingalls said.
1. Arrangements should be
made by which veterans may en
ter and pursue certain courses ir
respective of previous education.
2. Many short courses, ranging
from three months to one year,
and covering a wide variety of
subjects, should be provided.
3. Plans should be developed by
which veterans may enter certain
courses at several different pe
riods within the year.
4. " It should be borne in mind
particularly that the large group
which had not finished secondary
school at the time it entered the
service will not wish to re-enter
the normal type of high school.
The veterans will be much more
mature than the average high
school student and will wish to
pursue courses which will move
more rapidly than the average
high school classes.
5. While credit for courses com
pleted will be important, it should
be recognized that credit will be
an unimportant factor to many of
the veterans. Provision should be
made for students who wish to
pursue two year terminal courses.
6. Arrangements should be
made for counseling veterans as
to their needs in education and
for readjusting them once they
are enrolled in school or college.
7. School officials should main
tain contact with industry, busi
ness, labor, the U. S. employment
service, and other agencies as to
the types of courses needed.
8. School administrators should
appoint special committees to
study the needs of veterans.
The seventh point has already
been met to some extent by Glen
dale, Bakersfield, Pasadena, and
others, by initiating the "One
Stop" device. In the past, veter
ans have had to go to all parts
of the city to find out about the
particular job or position the
wanted. The "One Stop" service
means this information on em
ployment, education, religion, etc..
will be limited to one building.
Fifty Music School Students Join
Together in Christmas Caroling
BY SAM WARREN.

halls of the school of music Wed
nesday when more than 50 music
students joined voices in tne inira
annual informal Christmas sing-fr-st
Students of harmony, in
strumentation, organ or voice set
aside their school work to sing
old and new carols around a col
orful Christmas tree.
Harmonize on Rounds.
Crowded on leather-cushioned
benches, propped against the
walls, or huddled on the noor,
friends harmonized on amusing
"rnnnds" such as "Yule. Yule,
Yule," while laughing and clap
ping hands, bharing song sneeis
with one another, they then
changed mood to the sustained
"Lullaby Carol" or to the ancient
Italian tune, "Dona Nobis Pacem."
Old favorites like "Oh Come, AH
Ye Faithful," and "Deck the
Halls" were sung with equal
fervor, as twinkline eyes greeted
familiar faces across the hall.

Westbrooks Entertain.
Cheers in form of a rousing
locomotive yell came from the
students for Dean and Mrs. A. fc.
Westbrook. who sDonsor these an
nual Christmas sings. "It's noth-.
ing fancy," said Dr. westbrook.l
"but the studetns look forward
to it."
Caramel popcorn, furnished by
the Westbrooks, was crunched by
the students as they finished their
singing, gathered their scattered
books together, and left the hall.
These students, united by their
common bond of music, had again
enjoyed a fellowship experienced
by no other school group of the
university, and felt that the
Christmas season had definitely
been ushered in for them.

There is something new under
