Trovets report men s housing survey results
Delegates to discuss ex-soldiers’ difficulties at state conference
lue key
. members will meel at 12:30 l.m. today in 418 Student Union. Maurice Schmidt, president, announced.
Results of the Trovet housing ' survey to find out just how acute ! ! the housing shortage is among Trojan veterans show’s that 421 - i percent are in need of housing | j facilities immediately.
This fact and other information regarding veterans’ living quarters was obtained by the dean of men's , office from the many housing ques- ; tionnaires that were turned in by ; j the ex-servicemen.
Forty percent of the Trojan vets are in need of housing facilities, but 17 percent of them will need new placement iti the near future. Of those in the immediate housing classification, 77 percent are married and 38 per- I cent have children who live with them. Of those in the near future group. 59 percent are married and 19!s percent have children.
A special conference has been called by Mr. Albert Slade and At-i tomey General Robert W. Kenny ! to be held at Sacramento Jan. 5 end j 6. Panels from all over the state , will discuss such important problems as housing for veterans in and ; out of schools, according to Milton l Buck, Trovet president.
Final legislation will be decided I upon at the conference, and then submitted to the state legislature Jan. 7 for action. It was suggested that a delegate be sent who is familiar with student vet-* erans’ housing problems.
Rooters' rules require student cards for game
Rules which will govern Troy’s rooting section at the Rose Bowl game will be as follows:
The usual rooting attire of white shirts or blouses, rooter’s caps, and pom-pons will be observed.
Only students possessing a game ticket, activity card, and student body card will be admitted to the rooters’ section.
Pom-pons will be sold by Spooks and Spokes at the game.
“We know that only Trojan rooters know how to put over our card stunts and yells in traditional SC style,” stated Buzz Forward, Knight president.
“We are requiring complete identification in order to keep any outsiders from participating. Some students have been scalping fhei- tickets, and we want to stop that sort of thing,” he declared.
Men students may obtain their red and gold rooters’ caps in the Student Union.
Because of an overflow of SC rooters in past Rose Bowl games, It has been neccssary to add a half section to assure adequate seating facilities. As a result, one of the largest Rose Bowl rooting sections in the history of SC will occupy the one and a half sections, 105 rows high.
SC veterans to vie for a royal date
“Attention all SC veterans! If you can fill in the following statemen£ in 25 words, ‘I would like to go out with a Blue Key queen because—’ you will be eligible to do just that.” So spoke Phil Burton, chairman of Blue Key Hello and Smile week.
In order to make a fair choice of escorts for the lovely young ladies who will be chosen to rule, Blue Key has decided to sponsor a contest to determine the five winners. All letters must be turned in to the Theta Chi house by next Monday, Jan. 7. •
“The pictures will be used as a basis for the final selection in conjunction with the letters. The best letter will be published in the Daily Trojan at a later date,” continued Burton. “Judgment of the letters will be based entirely on cleverness, originality, and grammatical correction. Affiliation or activities of the entrants will not enter into the selection.” Due to the fact that veterans constitute such a great majority of

Tlie certificate may be obtained Irom the veterans’ administration office at 1041 South Broadw’ay. The “usual requirements'’ mentioned here would normally be a diploma granted to the applicant by an accredited school.

G.l. loan fund nears depletion
The $1500 veterans’ emergency | loan fund set up by the Interfra- j ternity Mothers club has been very nearly depleted by recent loans granted to G.L students whose government checks have been late in arriving, according to Dr. Carl Hancey, dean of men, who is in charge of the dispensation of the fund.
Veterans desiring this financial aid should contact Dean Hancey’s office where the loan will be approved. From there they will be sent to the comptroller’s office where the fund is kept. These small loans run for a short period, 30 to 60 days, and bear no interest.
“The Interfraternity Mothers group,” stated Dean Hancey, “has kept a great many veterans in school who would have been forced to drop out otherwise.”
rihe club set up an original fund of $500 about six weeks ago, but that amount had been consumed within 10 days, so an additional $1000 wras added. This is nearly gone and as the veterans’ office reports that it may be some time before the government checks come through, more money is needed.
Some G.l. students have received no money for over two months.
Another service sponsored by the Interfraternity Mothers club is a “clothes closet” for veterans which is also maintained in Dean Hancey’s office.

Shortest route to Rose Bowl given for game
The simplest, shortest route to the New Year's day Rose Bowl game for those traveling by automobile or public transportation has been discovered by experience.
Regardless o.r the starting place in Los Angeles, drive north on Figueroa street and follow it to Arroyo Seco parkway. Follow Arroyo Seco until it reaches Orange Grove avenue. Turn left on Orange Grove and proceed from iTiere to the bowl.
Those depending on public transportation should take a Pacific Electric car from the downtown depot at Sixth and Main streets to Pasadena. From there passengers should transfer to the Lincoln street busses which will take them within walking flis-tance of the Bowl.

The Capstone club, making its ninth New Years day appearance, ran up a new Tuscaloosa scoring record as they rang up 396 points to only 66 for their nine foes in rolling to their eighth undefeated season since 1892. The short-end Trojans, on the other hand, had a 7-3 record, losing to the Sugar Bowl St. Mary's Gaels, Washington, and San Diego Navy. These three teams all operate from the Notre Dame box, the same type offensive that the Thomas outfit uses.
Added to the difficulties of teaching his lads how to stop the dated Rockne style of attack, Cravath has tried to teach them how to stop the perfect lobs of all-American Harry Gilmer. The latter. Cravath's charges haven’t mastered as indicated in scrimmages when Keith Spaith aping the Alabama beanpole completed 50 per cent of his throws. Trojan boosters should not be too discouraged as the same wras true prior to the UCLA game when passers hit their targets right and left against the local first stringers.

BATAVIA, Java, Dec. 30.—O)— A battalion of Dutch marines trained in the United States has reached Java, it was announced today. British troops, cleaning up this capital city arrested 91 persons, including seven known extremists and some former members of the disbanded Indonesian civil police force.
A Dutch liner, the Noordam. arrived off Tandjoengpriok, port for Batavia, last night with about 1.000 marines under command of Col. M. D. De Bruyne. Their equipment, reportedly including American-made tanks, followed on a second liner.
The marines will relieve Dutch and native troops now on guard duty in uneasy Java, where a self-

iley asks aid in draft law
“Legislation has come too late for me, but I cant help feeling that the work SC students did in petitioning to keep me from being drafted will help many others.”
So spoke Pvt. Herbert J. Riley Jr., former civilian prisoner of war for 37 months in Santo Tomas who is now serving with the U. S. army. Wire services carried the story Friday that state draft boards had been ordered not to draft men who had been civilian prisoners during the war pending legislation which
! would classify them 1G.
The order came a few weeks too late for Riley, who has hopes that the new law will bring about his j discharge.
Riley's case set off the fuse for action in many paits of the nation, j Here at SC, more than 5000 students signed petitions to President Truman requesting that the former prisoner be allowed to continue his education. Local papers carried the story wire services picked it up, and even radio commentators
asked listeners to take action by writing to their congressmen.
Veterans associations throughout the country have supported men with cases corresponding to Riley’s. The publicity and spirit aroused by the petitioning inspired other internees to take similar action.
Riley left Ft. MacArthur today for basic training somewhere in the United States. He and his family spent their first real Christmas in four years together at their home.
Dr. Soekamo is seeking complete independence for the Javanese.
Allied circles said the British told Indonesian officials that the Dutch marines were planning to land. Indonesian authorities have indicated they opposed any such step and would consider it as definitely harmful to any peace plans for Java.
British officials announced that a number of former members of the now-disbanded Batavia civil police force were among the 91 persons arrested in Batavia, where searches and arrests were carried out with out resistance. Allied authorities disbanded the police force after some elements of it-had proven unreliable and were accused of involvement in looting and kidnap imt
Veteran’s check delay attributed to red tape in army administration
In an effort to expedite the payment of veterans’ subsistence checks. Gen. Omar Bradley, head of the veterans administration, has recently directed that all veterans administration centers make every effort to eliminate delays.
Heretofore such delays have been an all too frequent occurrence for which little reason can logically b« set forth.
For example, the married veteran must wait before receiving subsistence payments until his martial status has been checked and verified by the veterans administration. This process sometimes takes days or even weeks, and it must be accomplished despite the fact that the veteran is subject to a S2000 fine or Imprisonment or both for any violation of the contract which permits him to attend college under the G.L bill.
It is felt by persons in the veterans administration that the provision for this fine is more than enough to discourage any G L from making a false statement concerning whether or not he has a wife, particularly when such a matter can be so readily checked upon. General Bradley’s new ideas in administrating the veterans program are aimed primarily to dispense with the “red tape” delays of this nature.
But the student veteran can now rest assured that his subsistence check, as soon as the new plan becomes effective, will probably be on time.
Flu cancels P.E. courses
All physical education classei have been ordered discontinued until Wednesday due to the sudden increase of the flu epidemic.
“Anyone possessing flu symptoms should report immediately to the health office in the Physical Education building,” announced Miss Margaret K. McMorrow, R N„ campus nurse.
A noticeable increase in flu cases during the holiday season, especially after vacation, prompted department officials to issue an order authorizing the continuance of lecture and major classes only.
