Troy Tarzans Eat Greens
Looking forward to a big steak dinner today?
If so you’re out of luck for today, and all Tuesdays hereafter, have been officially proclaimed “meatless days” by Governor Culbert L. Olson in an effort to avoid nation-wide meat rationing.
Tuesday menus will be lacking in beef, veal, lamb, mutton, and pork, and restaurants are planning substitute foods to take the place of the meat dishes.
Something of the way that the Student Union chef is going to meet the situation was revealed yesterday by Miss Nina Streeter, acting manager of the fountain.
“We’re going to feature vegetable plates, egg and cheese dishes, and such meats as poultry, liver, tongue, and fish,
which are not on the restricted list,” she declared.
The large demand on meats for the armed forces and to meet lend-lease requirements has made it imperative that some form of rationing go into effect at once to meet the acute shortage.
To some students the prospect of chicken dinners to replace such meats as steaks and pork chops appeared quite agreeable, but the high price on poultry, although it is not one of the meats coming under the rationing restrictions, may not allow much chicken on the “blue plate” menus.
Fraternities and sororities, as well as the university’s residence halls, are planning menus similar to those suggested by Miss Streeter.

D.T. Reveals SC Avenue's Dirty Secret
Is it a bomb shelter? Is it a station on the underground railroad? Is it a trap for Jim Jurkovich of the Cal football Jurko-
viehes?
These and many more questions plagued many a sorely beset SC student last week.
It now falls to the indomitable Daily Trojan to bare the facts.
That mysterious hole in front of the Student Union building has been dug preparatory to the laying of a sewer pipe.
However, this is no ordinary sewer pipe. This pipe is to replace the one lost to the Union fountain last week, the loss of which caused no end of grief and suffering- to the Union’s thirsty habitues who may now rest assured that their supply of beverages will no longer be threatened.
So trouble no more, weary Trojans. Through the untiring efforts of the Daily Trojan the veil of censorship has been lifted, and that which has been a mystery is a mystery no longer.

Discussing “The Seat of Authority in a Democracy,” Dr. Herbert L. Searles will give the third lecture of the 1942 philosophy forum series today at 4:15 p.m. in Bowne hall.

"The Sipirtual Resources of Democracy” is the theme of this year's autumn philosophy-forum series. which constitutes the 25tn semi-annual forum.
There are three more lectures in the forum's current series. Speakers

Election Bets Favor Warren at Polls Today
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2.—(U.E)— Predictions of victory came tonight from the headquarters of Attorney General Earl Warren and Demo cratic Governor Culbert L. Olson but the betting on tomorrow's general election still favored Warren to be California’s next governor.
Olson made a statewide radio speech from Los Angeles tonight while Warren attended a rally in San Francisco. Both have stumped the state vigorously.
Olsonites cited the 2 to 1 democratic registration, plus a definite increase in election interest since the meager 47 per cent turnout at the August primary, as giving the governor the edge.
But Republicans pointed to the million-plus vote total collected by Warren in the primary, including
400.000	democratic votes to the
500.000	which went to Olson.
The state has 3,800,000 voters but predictions of the turnout ranged from 50 per cent to the “70 or 75 per cent” guess of Secretary of State Paul Peek.
Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. PWT, except the 8 p.m, closing in San Francisco.
Elections Call Frosh. Politicos

Good Standing in ERC Defined
Good standing required of men students enlisted in either the navy V-l or V-7 programs is defined in a letter from navy and marine corps headquarters received yesterday by the university.
“A student is considered to be in good standing as long as his academic record is maintained at the level or above that required by the institution for the conferment of a baccalaureate degree,” is the meaning conveyed in the letter.
If students enrolled in enlisted reserve programs should fall below the normal academic level, they will lose their good standing with the armed forces even though their school is willing to allow them to continue on probation.
Rumors that members of the ERC were already being called into the armed services are untrue, according to information received from the office of the dean of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences.
