A double warning came from Stanford to the SC campus yesterday.
The first was an admonition to Trojans not to be surprised when they step from the train at Palo Alto. The initial impression may be that of thinking the city has been bombed because dirt, debris, and blocks of concrete will be scattered for several acres around the station.

METHODS DEVELOPED
The possibility of harnessing atomic energy has been broadened in the last decade by the development of the cyclotron, a machine which can “fire” the exploding unit at a given substance. For instance, when a neutron is fired at uranium. the explosive effect of a uranium element increases the original energy-output by millions. The prospect of utilizing this energy is astounding if one stops to relaize that dynamite, when set off, shows an energy-increase figured in the thousands.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Oct. 24—With the traditional torchlight parade of pajama-attired freshman marching down the row. Stanford swings into a program of SC game festivities tonight which will not conclude until the last of the Trojan rooters depart Sunday evening.
Student body officials, together with hall, fraternity, and sorority heads, are concentrating on extensive preparations for the thousands of SC followers expected this weekend.
Welcoming committees of farm students, headed by Student Body President Bruce Jessup of Pasadena and Anne Townsend of Arcadia will meet the Trojan team train and game specials at the Palo Alto station. From there the rooters will be taken to the respective fraternities and sororities, as well as halls and dormitories, which are providing housing.
On behalf of the Stanford student body, I wish to cordially invite SC students to come north for Saturday’s rame. We have big plans for the weekend and hope you will make the trip and be our guests.

This section will consist of 30 rows, Davis added, with five rows of girls at the top and five rows at the bottom. Men rooters will be required to wear white shirts and rooters caps.
