Civilians face change in rule on probation
In an effort to keep civilian students in pace with scholastic regulations which military men must face, the Student Scholarship committee announced yesterday a change in probation and disqualification for unsatisfactory scholarship.
The new ruling applies to undergraduate students, both regular and special, registered for six or more units of credit in any division of the university, except the School of Medicine, College of Dentistry, School of Law, University Junior college, and Graduate School students.
It was voted that the paragraph on disqualification be changed to read: “A student shall be subject to disqualification, if, after having been notified of his unsatisfactory scholarship, his term average falls below 0.0; or if, while on probation, he fails to attain a term average of 0.5; or, if he has not removed his probationary status in two successive terms of probation.” This became effective Sept. 1.
After the 10th week in each term, the scholarship records of all students will be reviewed by the committee on probationary students. If an unsatisfactory record is found, notice will be sent to the student and his parents.
A student not already on probation will be placed on such if his term average falls below 0.5, after he has been notified of his unsatisfactory scholarship.
A student on probation must carry a program of at least 12 units in a regular term.
Editorial
Your activity books
This is an opportunity; not a request.
This year, like any other year, students are being offered the opportunity to purchase activity books. But this year is different, and sales haven’t been going too well.
The main reasons why a large number of activity books have not been purchased are these:
1.	Trainees, sent here by the government, thus far have not developed enough Trojan loyalty to purchase books.
2.	These activity books, selling for $5.50, appear to be an unnecessary expense to servicemen who are admitted to football games free of charge.
3.	Those graduating Oct. 15 do not believe that an activity book would be worth the price, since they could only attend two of the six home games before leaving.
Here are the answers to these three points:
1.	Trainees make up 86 per cent of the football team which will represent Troy on the gridiron this year. This 86 per cent is divided evenly between marine and navy men. In addition, the team is comprised of men from Washington State, Oregon State, San Diego State, UCLA, Fresno State, Oregon university, Loyola, and Santa Ana J.C. These men have donned the colors of Troy. All students can do the same.
2.	It is true that servicemen are admitted free to the coliseum. BUT there are only 3000 seats available to the entire aggregation of southern California servicemen who flock to the coliseum and who usually fill up the section by noon. This section is commonly called the “bullpen” because it is in the coffin corner of the coliseum on the sunny side. The SC rooting section, on the other hand, is on the 50-yard line with enough seats to accommodate the whole student body. As for the price, tickets for the six home games would cost the nonholder of a student book $11.55. Here is a saving of $6.05 on football tickets alone.
3.	Those who will graduate Oct. 15 may buy a special activity book costing $1.50 which will admit the holder to the two home games before the close of this term. If the student did not own a book, tickets for the two games would cost $4.40.
Sales for the books will close next week, and the first game will be Sept. 25, a week from tomorrow. The rally committee has announced plans for a rally next Friday and a dance following the game. Head Yell King Bob Thompson has organized many stunts for the rooting section, and SC’s 80-piece band will do a special routine between halves.
All we need now is loyal rooters. This is your opportunity.—M.A.C.
Troy band, yell leaders to lead event
A moonlight rally of Trojan yell* and songs will highlight the Boulevard stomp, this week’^ version of the all-U dig, in front of Owens hall tonight.
“Our JSC band as well as the yell leaders will lead the program," stated Leta Galentine, student body vice-president, “and an all-navy orchestra is to supply dance music."
The party will begin at 7 p.m. and continue until 9:30 with outdoor dancing and recreational activities inside the Physical Education building. Badminton, volleyball, ping pong, and swimming are the sports available.
“A dancing area is to be roped off and treated with spangles,” Sallie Unmack, chairman of the event declared, “and the Stomp is both a date and non-date affair.”
All cars parked in the area in front of Owens hall and the Physical Education building must be removed by 4 p.m. today so the area may be roped off for the .Boulevard stomp this evening.
Coeds tell stories of new jobs
by Frank McMahon
No longer will hungry Trojans wait hours while melted cheese sandwiches are carried past them just out of their reach; no longer will disgusted students rotate from one table to another in the hope that some non-belligerent waitress will take pity on them—that is no longer will they do this if they have a friend who has volunteered to work in the Student Union in order to alleviate the drastic shortage of waitresses caused by high school help returning to school.
Here is how it happened, accord-
ing to Miss Nina Streeter, head of the Union service.
The situation at the opening of the city schools appeared pretty bad. It was a case of finding students to serve or close the union, and a closed union would mean hungry students.
The War Board, headed by Patty Wiese, saw the predicament and decided to sponsor a Trojan Women’s volunteer waitress service. Volunteer, that is, only to the extent that giving up leisure time to work. Waitresses are paid 50 cents per hour and given their
meals.
And so, last Monday the first contingent of BWOC waitresses, everyone of them an important figure in the SC feminine world, began slinging hash and learning the tactics of Union service in the spirit of fun and patriotism.
Union service is not all work, according to Kathleen Gelcher, women’s editor of the Trojan. The women there are really having fun.
The biggest problem is keeping orders straight. Every waitress has (Continued on Page Four)
Cokes will be sold in the patio of the Physical Education building.
Bob Thompson, SC yell king, will direct the rally program. Ken Morse is in charge of the navy dance band, and Squires will assist as hosts.
Board requests sea furnishings
Sea-going enthusiasts are asked to contribute their idle knick-knacks to furnish a canteen for SC servicemen. A nautical clock, life preservers, sea pictures, book-ends, and any other furnishings of a nautical nature can be used to complete the theme.
“Perhaps someone has a model ship which he will give us to put over the mantel," stated Mickey Heeger, servicemen’s chairman of the War Board.
Beginning Monday a man will be on 24 hour duty at Henderson hall to accept these old binnacle lights, lanterns, nets, and paraphernalia.
“There ought to be someone in school whose father runs a salvage outfit that could bring many of the odd items of ship’s riggings,” added Heeger.
