Final senate action on a companion bill is expected 10 days hence.
The committee acquiesced to demands of the war department and selective service and omitted a much-discussed provision prohibiting the 18-year-olds from going into active combat service until they received a year's training.
It also provided, with regard to education, that selective service shall have discretionary authority to defer youths during the current academic year but not after next July.
Another amendment provides that when induction of the ’teen agers begins, they also may enlist without their parents’ consent.
The committee moved to meet charges of “draft favoritism” in various states by writing in an amendment providing that in any state all single men must be inducted before married men; and that all married men without children be drafted in advance of married men with children.
This was intended to meet criticism that in some states married men are being drawn by a selective service board in one area while single men in another area have not been called.

ERC Head Tells Program Rules
Keep up Grades,
Says Raubenheimer
AU students who hold membership in one of the enlisted reserve programs are urgently advised by Dr. Albert S. Raubenheimer, ERC liason agent, Unlisted reserve programs, to bear the following facts in mind:
1.	The status of good standing in the university which is required of all enlisted reserve members, rests upon the fact of regular attendance at each and every class in which he is enrolled.
2.	The status of good standing ln the university depends, also, upon completion of all class requirements, written reports and examinations included.
3.	Participation ln the physical fitness program by daily attendance, is required of all enlisted reserve* men.
4.	The maintenance of an average grade of C in the student’s scholastic program is essential if the individual desires to remain in a reserve status.
5.	Students who are forced to decrease their program units are reminded to keep their total units above 12.
Tobacco Plug Slips by Editors as D.T. Fumes
Tobacco has been pulled over the Daily Trojan’s eyes. Its editors have been had. Space which anxious advertisers fight for and never get was yesterday unwittingly given to the boosting of a purely commercial venture —free.
Through devious channels word was received yesterday that a booklet “of great importance —especially to l'reshman students,” was available to one and all. Unfortunate circumstances made it impossible to check on the information and it sneaked onto the sacred front page of the D.T.
Two facts make staff members of the paper especially unhappy. First, the material advertises a particularly noxious habit which every day is claiming more addicts. Second, some naughty gnome slipped over the story the by-line of a person rather closely affiliated with the staff.
To all those who happened upon the article (in the lower half of the right-hand column) he wishes to make it plain that he “didn’t really mean it.”

A. S. RAUBENHEIMER, Liaison Agent, Enlisted Beserre programs.
The University of Southern California, in cooperation with defense authorities, is making no official arrangements to transport any campus groups other than the varsity squad and its coaches to Kezar stadium, San Francisco for the Stanford game Oct. 24.
In the past the freshman and Spartan football squads, an organized rooting section, and the Trojan Band accompanied the varsity. This practice has been eliminated for the duration of the war.
The following statement with regard to the situation was issued by the general athletic committee.
“In order that we may cooperate completely with military and defense authorities, the committee will make no travel arrangements except those necessary for the transportation of the 28 players and the minimum number of coaches and managers needed for handling the .team.
“The members share with others an urgent desire to witness what promises to be a thrilling game and by our presence to encourage and support the Trojan team. The national crisis, however, makes it imperative that we forego the gratification of this desire. We are confident of being thoroughly understood in this position and of generous cooperation on the part of all concerned.’’

SC Rallies in Bovard for Cougar Grid Contest
Trojans Meet WSC Eleven
With the hopes of a championship season hanging in the balance, Coach Jeff Cravath sends his revitalized Trojan eleven against undefeated, untied Washington State tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. at the coliseum.
The northerners pull into Pasadena this morning, and hold a brief work out in the Rose bowl in the afternoon. SC meanwhile, concentrated on smoothing out the rough spots yesterday in a Bovard field drill, and will take things easy this afternoon.
After two defeats and one tie in three starts, the locals will be shooting for their first victory of the 1942 season. Only the tie counted in the conference standings.
Babe Hollingbery is bringing south one of the best-balanc-ed teams he has coached at Pullman since taking over in 1926. In three starts to date, the Cougars have edged Oregon and Stanford by 7-0 and 6-0 scores, and set a new home scoring record by routing Montana 68-16.
Last minute injuries may cause the Trojans some harm. Mickey McCardle has an injured arm and even if he starts, he will not be in tip-top condition. Mel Bleeker and Steve Bianchi, other first-stringers, may also miss the battle.
With McCardle on the sidelines at the opening of the game, Cravath will start Hal Finney against the Cougars. Finney showed his capabilities by averaging seven yards per try at Seattle, but has yet to come up to pre-season expectations.
If Bleeker is unable to start, Bob Musick will get the call at the quarterback (blocking) post. Musick has been used mostly at fullback, but is an excellent blocker and should fill

Blue Key Chooses Troy Smile Queen

TED OLEWINE . . raises racket.
Surrounded by secrecy, the name of the chosen lady will be announced at the Blue Key dance Saturday night.
“This was the Daily Trojan’s Idea,” declared Aufel Gilbert, president of Blue Key, ‘ and until now the members knew little about it. However, we searched the campus and at our meeting last night voted on who we thought should be campus Smile queen.”
Besides the revelation of the identity of the new queen, three new members of Blue Key will also be announced. They will replace former members who did not return this year or who have recently joined the army.
Bids for the dance cert be bought at the Student Union bookstore for $1.65, including tax. Music will be supplied by Rudolf Friml Jr. at the Florentine room of the Beverly-Wilshire hotel.

Today is the last chance for any student with musical aspirations to try out for ,the all-U musical comedy, announced Lynn Cohne, producer of “Neath Tommy Trojan.”
“Our script is completely written so we don’t need dialogue writers,” she said.
“What we do need are students with talent for our musical numbers and other parts. If we can have keen competition for each part, the final cast chosen will make this year’s all-U show the best of all.”
Miss Cohne will be in 235 Student Union today between 11 and 1 o'clock for anyone ■ interested in signing up at this last opportunity.
Tryouts for the chorus will take place on Monday. The time will be announced at a later date. Rehearsals will not start until next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, between 4 and 5 p. m.

Tri-Delts Boost War Bond Sale
Sorority Sells $28,597 in Four-Hour Rush
War bond sales at the Tommy Trojan Victory Hut soared into the realm of big business last Wednesday as Delta Delta Delta sorority members took over the red, white, and blue shack and in the process of the day’s work shoved $28,597 in stamps and bonds over the counter in the four hour period from chapel hour to 2 p. m.
The Tri-Delt record-shattering achievement at the victory hut, which was given great impetus by a single purchase of a $25,000 bond, puts Delta Delta Delta out in front many lengths in- the Trojan sororities’ stamp and bond sale race. Runners-up are Alpha Gamma Delta with $5,907.25 sales total, and Phi Mu with $3,038.75.
The original goal for all hut sales for the semester being $10,000, the SC Greek letter girls have not only reached their goal, but have roared on past the finish line and galloped ’round the track again four times in an “all out” surge of effort for Uncle Sam.
The Victory Hut sales campaign, which began Sept. 29, when Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid fired the opening shot by purchasing the first bond, has become a struggle between the various campus women’s organizations to decide which group will win the opportunity to choose a Victory Queen to reign over the all-U Dig scheduled for sometime after Nov. 19. After Nov. 19 groups of freshman women will take over the hut to sell bonds and stamps.
Former Trojans See War Duty on Land, Sea, and in the Air
Those Trojans who have laid aside their plans, and who are now on land, in the air, and on the sea for Uncle Sam, now include: Dudley H. Robinson, who received his Ph.D. in 1942, is now lieutenant in the navy.
Cecil William Barker, graduate of the College of Commerce in the class of ’40, is now staff sergeant in the air corps, located at .the Santa Ana army air base.
Dr. Lee E. Travis, former professor of psychology at the university, was transferred this week from the intelligence division of the air corps at Santa Ana to Gardner field, Taft, Calif. Also he is now
referred to as Captain Travis.
Roger Charles Lyons, class of ’39, graduated from ,the Rosewell Flying school in September, receiving his second lieutenant’s commission, and is now located at Go wen field, Idaho.
Frederick G. Kirby, graduate of the School of Medicine in ’42, is a first lieutenant in the medical corps of the army air base at Salt Lake.
Pvt. Leo Pearlstein, graduate of ’43, is stationed with the psychological research unit at Santa Ana.
Pvt. Robert J. Mayer, College of Architecture ’40, is attached to the 907th engineers' headquarters air
force, March field, Calif.
All fraternities are urged to turn in any information they have concerning their alumni or students who are in the scrvice. Thus far the only fraternity to aid in the task of obtaining information has been Phi Kappa Psi, who turned in to Mrs. Mary Richardson, secretary to the director of special foundations, a list of 146 names.
“It would certainly be a big help if other fraternities would help bring our files of former students up to date,” said Mrs. Richardson, “by turning in to me any information as .to the whereabouts or ranks of their fraternity brothers.
Graduates Pick New Officers
Election of officers and activity planning for the coming year will be featured at the first meeting of the year for members of the Graduate school. Dr. Rockwell D. Hunt, dean of the Graduate school will be in charge of the meeting Tuesday noon in 206 Administration.
All Graduate school students, as members of the student body, are eligible to participate in the year’s activities. Persons interested in any of the four student body offices—president, vice-president, secretary, or treasurer—should file .their qualifications in the office of the Graduate school, 160 Administration, according to Dr. Hunt.
Peter Molyneaux, prominent in world affairs as American representative at the recent Chatam House conference, ln London, on world reconstruction, will speak at the first meeting this fall.
El Rodeo Positions Open to Ad Salesmen
For Trojans who are interested in selling advertisements and working with ad layouts, Harold Lurie, busi-manag%r of the 1943 El Rodeo, has announced that several positions on thg yearbook staff still remain open.
Interested students should see Lurie in the El Rodeo office, 202 Student Union, any week day after 1:15.
Ted Olewine to Swing Out
There will be no lunch and all of holy Methuselah will break loose as the walls of Bovard auditorium bulge to their limits this noon when Trojans assemble for the second gigantic rally of the ’42 football season.
As hard as the rally committee tried, it was impossible to obtain the services of any big-name bands or performers, but at the last possible moment Bruce Graham announced that Ted Olewine and five of his cronies will be on hand to do the honors for old SC. Ted is well known around Troy campus for his truly authentic jitterbug capacities, and can be counted on for many laughs and whatever else is needed.
Practicing the old adage of bringing the fly into the spider’s web, it is quite probable that the rally committee will bring the captain of Washington State’s gridders to meet and greet the assembled entourage as well as the president of the Cougar’s student body. A picked group of Atherton investigators will undoubtedly act as a personal bodyguard for the two enemy aliens, but Chairman Graham expressed himself as firmly believing that they come with only the best of intentions. And fully disarmed.
More important than that however, will be the presentation of a new cheer by Yell King Russ Lindersmith Which from all advance notices is du'i to “knock ’em cold.” The Trojan yell leader will teach it to all those attending the rally in preparation for Saturday’s clash.
One way or another, the only thing that counts is that there isn’t an empty seat or spare foot of floor space when 12:02 rolls around, and that the quietness of Doheny is left across the street on the other side of University avenue. The more noise there is the better and harder it will be to hear, and that’s just what Bruce and the committee want.
With just 24 hours to game time the tension is steadily growing, and when the Thundering Herd takes the field tomorrow there’s going to be more hot SC spirit and fight than has ever before been seen. It all starts at noon today, though, and just make sure you’re on hand to light the fuse.
Witness to Reveal Fate of Prisoners
WSSF Leader to Describe Refugee Treatment
Given by Warring Nations at Wednesday Taltf
What is it like to be a prisoner in Germany, Russia, China, or India? How is the war affecting students confined in concentration camps in war torn Europe and Asia?
Robert Mackie, who was in France with his family during the German occupation in 1940 and who witnessed the treatment of oppressed peoples the i	-	“ “ world over, will answer these ques-; tions at an assembly Wednesday j in Bovard auditorium. • I Visiting the west coast for the
first time in four years, Mackie will address Trojans in behalf of the World Student Service fund, an international organization which provides direct relief for students and professors who are victims of war. The fund operates under the Geneva Convention of 1929.
Mackie. a veteran of the last war, joined the British Student Christian movement in 1925 and served as general secretary of that group from 1929 to 1938 when he was selected to serve as general secretary of the World Student Christian federation.
In Germany where six million me^i are interned in concentration camps. British, Belgian. French, Polish, Russian, and Serbian prisoners are receiving the opportunity to study in “universities of captivity” with aid from the WSSF.
