Judges for the event were Dr. William H. Davenport, professor of English; Dr. Reid Lage McClung. dean of the College of Commerce and Business Administration; Mrs. Janice Woods Bryan, assistant professor in the School of Music, and Dr. Kenneth L. Trefftzs, assistant professor of finance.
‘The display of vehicles this year was the best we have ever seen at an SC Taxi day.’* the judges agreed. "Nothing was duplicated and all entries showed great originality. It was Uifficult to judge which was the best,” they added.
All conveyances were judged on uniqueness and utility. The award presented to Harris Plaza for its winning “taxi” was a small wooden and silver wagon bearing a plaque upon which is engraved the names of each year’s winner.
“Something for the house will be the prize for the group selling the most tickets,” Connie Smith. AWS president, stated. “This will be announced tomorrow as we haven't had time to tabulate the results as yet." she concluded. -

When Crosby, Hope, Uncle Sam
work together, no-one can resist
Crosby sings it, Hope gags it, the United States treasury is down on its goldplated knees for it, and the Daily Trojan prints it on the front page—how can anyone resist buying bonds?
The answer is that no one can resist, and the proof lies in the $5015 total now in the Trojan bond booth trophy case. Business is picking up.
During the war years, no one had to worry where his next bond was coming from. People
Big day on campus; Wampus sales begin

Helen Jean Tobias, Wampus edi- J tor, has requested all girls who wish to sell Wampi to report to the distribution desk on the second floor of the Student Union after 9 a.m. today.
Why are all the alumni coming back on campus? For Homecoming week? Don’t be ridiculous, they just want to be on hand to purchase a copy of the Wampus!
