Spartans And
Ostiarians Meet
On Monday afternoon, April 9,
the Ostiarians and Spartans, ser¬
vice clubs on campus, will spon¬
sor a tea and joint meeting in
the Palm Room of the Green Ho¬
tel in Pasadena. Preceding the
social affair, the Spartans will
hold a business meeting, at which
time the main topic of discussion
will be plans for the Faculty
Men’s Party to be held sometime
after triads. The theme for this
event will probably be the circus.
The abilities and accomplish¬
ments of girls for potential Spar¬
tans will also be discussed to en¬
able the members to make their
choices at the close of the semes¬
ter.
The solutions to several prev¬
alent campus problems, such as
the curbing of the present epi¬
demic of purse snatching, more
efficient patrolling of the park¬
ing lot and library, maintaining
order in the halls and others
will be high on the agenda. In
connection with the Campus
Clean Up Campaign, the Spartans
will devote serious thought to all
possible solutions, principally that
of placing more trash cans in con¬
venient places to improve the
appearance of our “back yard.”
Among the projects initiated
this semester is one by which the
Spartans will pack Russian kits
during the discussions at every
meeting.

Love/ Is Featured Movie
Foreign Language Council Presents
Recent French Film To Students
By Joyce Oldham
“Three Hours of Love,” a French movie sponsored by the Foreign Language Department, will be
presented April 9, at 4:00 to 5:30 and at 8:00 to 9:30 in Sexson Auditorium. Filmed in the French
forests of Rambouillet with the technical aid of the French Army, the movie stars MGM’s Jean Pierre
Aumont, and was one of the last made before the German occupation.
Set at the time of the World War I, “Three Hours of Love” depicts a deeply human drama of real
and simple people and the spirit they showed at a time of emergency. The movie is not only authentic
in scene but in spirit and lan¬
guage. It is also an example of
the thoroughly French tradition
of dramatic concentration.
The picture was directed by
Leonide Mogu whose “Prison
Without Bars” won him the inter¬
national award in 1938. Arthur
Honneger wrote the music score
and the dialogue was written by
the noted playwright Marcel Ac-
hard. Berthe Bovyof of the Come-
die Francaise interprets the role
of Aumont’s mother.
Portraying the role of the hero,
Jean-Pierre Aumont, in real life,
depicts the spirit of the French
of today. Escaping Nazi-occupied
France to come to the USA, he
left Hollywood to join the Free
French Forces, where he was
twice wounded in action. The
producer, Pierre Schwab, was a
commanding officer of the French
Army in World War II, and Mich¬
el Diligne, the author, also noted
as a painter, newspaperman and
writer, met death as a hostage
of the German Occupation Forces
in Paris.
Pictured above is Jean-Pierre Aumont, featured star of
“Three Hours of Love,” the French motion picture, which is to
be shown on Monday, April 9 in Sexson Auditorium. Sponsored
by the Language Council, the movie will be shown at 4:00 to 5:30
p. m. and at 8:00 to 9:30 p. m.
Campus Leaders To Enlighten
Students will be particularly in¬
terested in two shorts which will
accompany the feature: one, the
singing of the “Marseillaise” by
Martial Singher and the other
“The Next Time We See Paris,”
showing views of the City of
Light while the song is being
