In SC Poll
Proponents of Bill Fail in Attempted Last-Minute Rush
With four days of an overwhelming number of votes cast against Ham and Eggs, Friday’s results of the Daily Trojan poll took a decided reversal for the day and found $30 - Every - Thursday with a last-minute increase.
Apparently awakening to the fact that their cause was
being decidedly snowed under, the advocate<s) of “Thursday payday” dashed to the polls with 42 votes j in favor of the proposition—nearly three times as many as were polled during the previous four days. This brings the total voting for the measure to 56 votes for the proposed bill and 231 against.
MANY ELIGIBLE VOTERS Leading the “nos” by two votes.
. 95 per cent of Friday’s Ham-and-Eggs voters are eligible for participation in the November 7 election. In contrast, only 19 of the 40 who polled against the bill are eligible, making the (total 49 “yes” voters eligible and 86 “no” voters.

COMMITTEE FORMED
An anti-Ham-and-Egg committee was formed by Michael MacBan. ASSC president, for the purpose of enlightening students on the fallacy of the bill. Fred Hall, former president of Phi Kappa Tau fratemity and member of the Trojan Knights, and at present a junior in law school, is one of the appointees. Hall is known on campus for his efforts in behalf of the 1.5 scholastic constitutional revision.
Arthur Manella. former president of Tau Epsilon Phi and member of the Trojan Knights, and at present a junior in the law school, is the second member of the committee. Bill Flood, president of the Trojan Knights, chairman of the 1939 homecoming committee, is the third member.

Five times this semester already, unknown thieves have struck at 28th street fraternity and sorority houses and have escaped with money and valuables valued at more than $100. No one has seen the thieves. No one has been awakened in the middle of the night by the prowling of an unwanted intruder.
But some night — and it might be soon — someone is going to awaken. Someone is going to see, startle, and perhaps incite the intruder to violence — costly violence that has the potential result of death for the victim. It has happened before; it might happen again.
A committee has been formed by ASSC President Michael MacBan to consider the situation. It is a committee not of prosecution but of prevention, not formed for reasons
In an effort to prevent further burglaries of fratemity and sorority houses, Michael MacBan, ASSC president, has called police, administrative, and student executives to a special group discussion Wednesday in his office.
Called to present their views and suggestions are: Dr.
Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men; Dr. Mary Sinclair Crawford, counselor of women: Clee Foster, office manager of operation and maintenance department; Lester Evans, president of the lnterfratemity council; Lona Romano.president of the Panhellenic council: and a representative of the Los Angeles police department.
“I feel certain that the administration and the police will aid us in every way possible to correct these unfortunate circumstances, but these bodies will be absolutely powerless unless they get a complete cooperation of both fraternities and sororities.” MacBan declared.
SUGGESTIONS MADE
Suggestions already given to the various members of the group include a regular patrol maintained by the operation and maintenance department, or an increased police patrol in that area. These suggestions will be brought up before the group.
‘‘No matter what is decided upon,” MacBan added, "members of th* various houses are responsible for personal property to a certain extent and must take precaution* not to leave their valuables exposed. In all of the recent robberies. the bandit has had much easier access to cash due to the fact that the house members leave their wallets and purses in full view, instead of putting them in locked drawers or closets.”

Trojan Speaks over Radio To Father In Phillippines

The island amateur had long been conducting short wave contact with Smith, and it was a simple matter
Corresponding times were arranged, and last Friday morning at 8 o'clock—while it was in the early hours of Thursday morning on the island—Baugh began to communicate.
He also spoke to his two sisters, one a graduate of the University of California. Each participant spoke for approximately three minutes, then the order was reversed and the reply was received. Baugh added that his elder sister just couldn't talk, but just “sat down and cried."
