The Red army is mighty, numbering about twenty millions 3,w, but iii order to give the sol diers the best of everything, the people live crowded and, at Ameri can standards, ill fed. It is almost * impossible to buy anything now in Russia today, neither clothing, nor glass, nor dishes. Mr. Hindus reminded the audi ence of the tremendous sacrifice in human lives that the Russians are paying. The number of dead, killed by the Germans is around fifteen million, according to Air. Hindus. The correspondent saw the de struction of whole cities. The Ger man army, in its retreat, left noth ing standing if they had time to burn all houses before the Red army caught up with them. The climax of the lecture came, however, when lie stated emphati cally that "there canot be another World War for generations to come." He based this statement up on the belief that both Germany and Japan would be virtually dismem bered at the end of the present con flict. Only "Russia, England, and the United States will remain as great world powers, and if there is a great war these powers will have to take part in it. This they will not do . . . America has gone to war twice during the past genera tion to prevent the defeat of Eng land . . . because the decline of English prestige would disrupt our economic system . . . War between America and Russia is a geographic impossibility; neither nation would stand a chance of complete victory . . . Diplomatic- relations between the countries will often be strained, but it is almost a certainty that war will not result. Mir. Hindus was asked many qucs tionls by the audience. Concerning German brutality, he related that he had visited a death factory in Po land. HIe had an opportunity to inlspect the rooms in which the vie tinms were killed; by dIroppinig a volatile poisori fr'om the ceiling. Mir.

University Not 7 !n College Studen, The University of South Caro lina will not be represented in the 1945 "Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Univer sities" because there is nto commnit tee or organization which has set tip rules and standards by which students may be selected. "Who's WhIo", which is published annually, compiles a list of names andl biographies of students who are represetntative of the outstanding personalities in the universities and col'eges of America. In selecting niames for the volume, emphasis is placed on scholarship andl participation in extra-curricula activities. In final selection the points of character, scholarship, leadership, and possible future use fulness to society are major factors. Ant unbiased committee from meh VMCA THIS 0 Betty McCreight, left, Delta Delta girls will be May Queen and the othe YM, YW To Seek New Quarters For Expanded Program Committee To Study Y's At Other Universities To Get Most Effective The University Y.M.C.A. is seek ing new and adequate quarters for the religious and recreational pro gram of this organization according to the action taken by the Y.M.C.A. Board of Directors at its meeting last Thursday. The association will cooperate with the Y.M.C.A. in trying to get what they both need in the proposed building program for the University after the war. The Board pointed out that Flinn Hall, the present quarters, is a re converted dwelling house, that it does not offer adequate quarters for recreation or for the religious pro gram of the Y.M.C.A., and that it in no way measures uip to the kind of quarters that Clemson, Winthrop have, or the buildings that the other state universities of the South have. A special committee, comiposedl of Prof. Frank Meeks, Prof. Guy Lips comb, Dean Francis B3radley, with cadets George Helow and Ray Bass, was appointed to make a study of the situations at other Universities to see whether the two Christian Associations wvill seek qtuarters in the proposed sttudent activities building, or whether it will request a separate building.

LeClaire Ander-,on, Chaplain EmnpIu To Returning IV By KATE SMOOT "WVhen Johnny conmes marching home he will present himusel as a better man,"' explained Chaplain F. R. Jenkins of Fort Jackson in an address made to the Gencral Y\WCA, April 5. Chaplain Jenkins spoke on thc return of men fronm overseas duty and emphasized the fact that all veteranis would howv be umen, though not pecrfect meni. During his overseas service Chap lain Jenkins made a tour of duty in the Society Islands, an isblated base. HeI stated that the soldiers would gather around nurses and Red Cross workers just to talk with a white woman agaia. The men in the armed services remembler the pleasant aspects of home in Ameri ca, and Chaplain Jenkins says that the ones at home must be the ones to help fnliill the dreams which our soldiers have had. "WVhent our boys return they will lbe strange," declared Chaplain .Jen kinis, "strange to themselves and to us. L.ct thtem tell of their experi enices when they are ready, and they will tell all that they want you to knowv. Sonme things in his past Johnny will not he willing to ad mit, but they will be nothing for you to worry about. Our soldiers went away as boys and will come back as men.' "Do not lose sight of the fact that there will be many missing fromt the ranks when the men return", Chaplain Jenkins reminded. "Some will be broken in body and mind. and will bc hospitalized. We will never see these, to remindl us of the price that they have paid. But many will return to school, to work, anid to their own lives." In explaining the post-war plans of veterans Chaplain Jenkins stated that nmany of our boys have been miade into better men by the respon sibilitics which they have uinder takeni. During the long months of dreaming about home our soldiers have mapped out pretty definite plans of what they want their future lives to he. They will desire all the everyday thitngs which we have taken for granted; most of themi want homes and children and secur ity for thieir loved ones.

' yi have their ideals of home towns and will vork to wards the fulillnent of them. The veterans want more participation in community life, peace and security, and more living. They have ieari,ed how ideas of religious toleration anl have turned to the Church and . hristianity. They will be the strengtlt of the Churclhes and will support them by fundamental li\ ing. "Through new skills learned in the armed iorce many of our men will turn to new .ob", says Chap lain Jenkins. "Others will want education, but many v ill return to their pre-war liver, but with a broader understanding of the world andl a greater interest in politics. T1he veterans will have a great po0 litical influence, anid they will use this influence in obtaining the things that they have fought for." In speaking oi the ideas that G. 1. Joe has of the girl he left he hindl hinm, Chaplain Jenkins said that he has a dlefnite p)cture of how she ought to be. "Remember," be said, "'Johnny has fought anmd dreamed of you for a long time. 1IIe need5 htmnan understanding when lhe re turns, and you can repay him lby be ing as sweet and tine a woman as you knowv how to be." Easter Bonnet W It Turns Into Ne terpretationi could have been made of the Easter honnet which Jane [Lanier, Universityv co-ed, showed to admiin mg anid wondering fr iendls. The hat was a miaster piece of crc ationu, exec utedl by' Jane her self; re nmarkable enough to astonish the strongest male. Said lane of her hat, "'I moade it simply on a dare, but now I am get ting fond of it.'' And it would ap peal to anyone, because it exempli fied the spirit of Easter. On a simple skull-cap base Jlane fashioned a nest of red paper straw; wrapped secure ly with a veil to~ keep it in place. Four toy chickens niest led within. along with a to duck called Oscar. "Oscar had to have a namne," Jane explained, because he has person ality. ''He squeaks when he is squeezed." Run DNE? n in today's election. One of these ated in the first race yesterday.
