Brady also announced that subscribers to the Wampus-Life offer would receive their issue of Life within a few days.
An Apology, Mr. Schacht?
An Open Letter
Mr. Henry Schacht,
Editor, Daily Californian.
University of California,
Berkeley, California-
Dear Mr. Schacht:
Through a very poor bit of reporting by some member of your staff, the Daily Trojan and. the University of Southern California have been put in a very poor light—one that is entirely undeserved. In your issue of Thursday, October 31, the following story appeared:
From two Stanford sources yesterday came demands of an apot-otry from the University of Southern California Daily Trojan, which stated recently that bad relations existed between Bobby Grayson and Frank Alustiza, Cardinal football stars.
That article remarked that Alustiza’s injured eye was feigned because “bad blood” between the star quarterback and Grayson resulted in the decision that one of the two must quit. Meanwhile, Alustiza, in the hospital awaiting an operation for the Injury, was presented with a gold watch by his teammates.
One apology was requested by Graduate Manager Alfred P. Masters in a telegram to the Daily Trojan. The second objection eame from the Associated Students of Stanford university. It stated:
“Speaking officially for the Associated Students of Stanford university, we wish to call your attention to the poor taste and malicious nature of your article concerning the two Stanford nndergraduates, Frank Alustiza and Bobby Grayson.
“It is net too much for us to expect an apology to the offended men, and to the Associated Students, in addition to a printed retraction in your column.”
There can be no possible explanation of this other than to deliberately defame the character of this university and this newspaper before the eyes of the California student body. The above article quoted portions of a letter which appeared in the October 30 issue of the Stanford Daily, a letter addressed to Art Cohn, Long Beach Press-Telegram, Long Beach, California, and signed by Bob Jones, editor of the Stanford Daily. At no time in the letter or anywhere else in the Stanford Daily did the name of the University of Southern California or the Daily Trojan appear in connection with this story.	'
If the Daily Trojan had carried such a story, Mr. Schacht, then we certainly should have apologized for a great wrong done two excellent football players and a great university; but you, Mr. Schacht, through your newspaper, have done an even greater wrong in attributing such a statement to the Daily Trojan, where it never appeared and would never appear while I am editor of this publication.
This gross misstatement of facts is entirely unfounded and suggests malicious intent on the part of at least one member of your stuff and certainly does nothing to foster closer relationships between our two universities.
Sincerely yours,
Tom Lawless.
Editor, Daily Trojan.

Arm Bands To Be Removed at Bonfire Friday
Complete plans for the removal of freshmen women’s arm bands will be discussed at a special Amazon meeting to be held in the Amazon office at noon today. Contrary to the usual custom, the ceremony will take place at the bonfire held Friday night before the Stanford game.
In previous years arm bands have been removed only if the freshmen win the freshman-sophomore brawl but the plan has been changed this year since the brawl will not take place before the big game.
Gregory Mason To Speak at Luncheon
Associated graduate students of the university will hear an address by Gregory Mason, archeologist and staff member of the Museum of the American Indian in New York city, at their bi-monthly luncheon meeting today at 12:30 pjn. in Elizabeth-von KlelnSmid hall.
Mason will follow the text of his latest book, “Columbus Came Late,” in which he attempts to treat archeology as “frozen history” rather than as dry dust, as most people 'onsider it.
Manderbaugh Is Loose Again
* * * * * * * * * * * * Wampus Chieftain Beats Brains
By J. Claude Manderbaugh
Philosophy In Art Is Topic
“The Issue of Philosophy in the Realm of Art” is the subject which will be discussed by Mrs. Geraldine Wildon Carr, lecturer in philosophy, in the weekly philosophy forum at 4:15 pjn. today la Bowne hall, Mudd.
It was with a feeling that I was about to kill two birds with one stone that I approached the Wampus office to garner my monthly interview.
The first bird was that I wanted a date. The editor was conducting a date bureau. Ergo, he was the man to see about gettting a date.
The second bird was to find out if the campus were to be inflicted with another Wampus, as is the custom.
“Worry, worry, worry, worry,” was his troubled greeting as I climbed in the fire escape. Great sobs were convulsing his torso, and tears as large as poached eggs were fast washing away the blotter on his desk.
Quick, as all Manderbaughs are. to be swayed by human emotion, I stepped at his side, and offered him my handkerchief.
“Here; blow,” I said, patting him gently on the back. “And tell Uncle J. Claude what it’s all about. Isn’t the Wampus going to come out tomorrow? Did you have some trouble? Wouldn’t your best friend tell you? Did you get a cinch card? Did your staff go on a strike? Come on, now tell Uncle J. Claude everything.”
“No, no,” he gasped, “nothing like that.”
“Isn’t your new threecolor cover going to be just dandy? Didn’t I write you a swell article about A. D. Pi’s pledge line? Does’t the magazine explicitely explain the why of sorority teas?” I continued.
“Yes, yes; everthing like that,” he gasped, “but that’s not what I’m troubled about.”
Before I could reach out to prevent it, he had seized the telephone and was vehemently pounding him-
self over the head with it.
“Stop!” I shouted, “think what you’re doing, man.’
He stopped and thought.
“I know what I’m doing,” he said simply. “I’m pounding myself over the head with the telephone.” He immediately resumed his activity. “But why?” I pointed out.
He turned to me with a resolute countenance. “I may as well tell you. Uncle J. Claude. I’m not worried about the Wampus; it’s the best we’ve ever had. it’s coming out tomorrow, there will be 32 pages—the biggest this year—salemen are on their toes, and the campus no doubt is waiting with bated breath.”
“But,” and his voice quavered, “it’s this date bureau that’s got me down.”
That reminded me of my first bird. “Oh, that's what I wanted to see you about," I said. “I’ve been looking over the pledge line pictures you took, which I understand will be in the Wampus tomorrow, and I want to get a date with that little blond on the end of the second row of the Deegee group.
Can you arrange......”
I was interrupted by a terrific din. The editor was again battering the telephone with his head.
“Things didn't work out as they should have,” he said, when he had recovered.
“Why. didn't you have 142 sorority pledges to get dates ior the use of those pictures?”
“Yes,” he admitted as he picked up the telephone for the final thrust, “that’s true, but . . . ."
“Well?”
“.....but everyone of them was
so good looking I got dates with them all for tonight. Oh, worry.
worry, worry.......
I worried.
MIAMI, Nov. 4.—(U.P)—A tropical hurricane whirled across the Florida peninsula to menace the west coast tonight after its 130-mile-an-hour winds had left death and destruction in the Atlantic seaboard winter playground.
A 13-year-old girl named Levy, killed when the roof of her home collapsed, and an unidentified man were the first confirmed fatalities in Miami.
One seaman was known dead, seven persons were reported dead at Miami, and scores were injured as the storm battered Its way across Miami and surrounding towns to plunge inland into the lightly populated Everglades.
Warnings Spread
Hurricane warnings were flying on ths West coast from Key West to Tarpon Springs as residents sought safety from the storm. The latest advisory placed its center 30 miles west of Miami, traveling west- j southwestward about 12 miles an hour.
Mountainous seas were pounding the east coast of Florida, but two vessels which were endangered at the peak of the storm radioed they were in no immediate danger tonight.
Ship Believed Safe
The S. S. Florida, off Olympia,
! had its anchor on the ocean floor and Was believed relatively safe. The Norwegian motorship, Sneland, in tronUe off Hillsborough, radioed at j 5 p.m. that the storm’s intensity I was decreasing and it was in no immediate danger.
Residents of the west coast boarded up their windows and hurried to heavy buildings as the storm whirled across the peninsula. A coast guard amohibian was dispatched from St. Petersburg to warn fishermen in that area and near Tarpon Springs.
Coast Guard Stands By
In the chance the hurricane might veer south when it rips out of the peninsula, the coast guard cutter Nemesis and an auxiliary were standing by at Key West. The wind was rising there.
On the east coast, relief and emergency organizations began exploring debris-littered streets in search for injured and to determine extent of damages.
Red Cross Organizing
The American Red Cross was mobilizing with all possible speed. The coast guard had vessels standing by the two distressed steamers, sent amphibians over menaced sectors, and dispatched radio communication cars to Fort Pierce and Lakeland.
The Lake Okeechobee region in the Everglades, where 2.000 persons lost their lives in the 1928 hurricane disaster, definitely appeared to have escaped the brunt of the storm.
Evacuntion Planned
A relief train stiU was standing on the siding at Belle Glade, on the eastern margin of the lake, ready to evacuate families should the hurricane take another of its unpredictable turns and menace the district.
A 4:30 advisory from the federal hurricane warning system said the storm’s winds were diminishing in intensity as it whirled inland. It appeared that when the disturbance reaches the west coast it will strike less savagely than it did at Miajpi.

Greeks Asked To Reserve Yearbook Picture Panels
“Fraternities and sororities apparently do not realize the seriousness of not signing the contract with the A. S. U. S. C. in regard to reserving picture panels in El Rodeo before November 15,” stated Business Manager Bill Fisher yesterday. “Less than 10 groups have sent representatives to the business office to sign the contract.”
The board of student publication* has determined that every organization having a page in El Rodeo must sign a contract agreeing to pay half of the bill before November 15, 1935, and the other half before February 25, 1936.
