All sorority houses will be open from 7:30 to midnight, to enable students, relatives, and guests to meet formally the pledges of the various social sororities represented here on campus. Receiving lines of pledges, in the customary white formals. will enable guests to meet personally the neophytes of each house.
“Since formal presentation of pledges for all 17 sororities will be held on the same night this term, the receiving lines will not break until 10 p.m.," explained Miss Lutz. “This will enable the hundreds of guests to tour the entire Row during the one evening.”
Dancing will be the second attraction of the Row's open house and will be continous from 7:30. Guests, who are expected to reach an all-time high in numbers, will be able to mingle socially with the pledges after the receiving lines break and dancing becomes the main feature. Refreshments during the evenings’ entertainment will be served by the various sororities.
Phi Sigma Sigma members will present their pledges and greet their friends at 2627 Severance during the regular presents hours.

Petitions for senior class council applicants are available tcday, according to President Bob Peck, who will head selection of the group which will conduct the affairs of the class.
“A fully representative council will work best,” stated Peck, “and to insure /such a group, the greatest number of active campus organizations commensurate with an efficient-sized council should be represented.”
Peck, who was elected on the platform of the Independent Students association, desires full participation by all students in campus life. Both “old-timers” ai»d and “new blood” are needed, but ability will be the criterion.
“In the past, councils have not included independent students.” related Peck, “which resulted in councils which were not representative. I am making an effort to amend this by asking non-orgs to participate.”
Peck said that petitions may be procured in the following student
With competition offered by UCLA, which is starting a similar drive, SC is establishing a campaign for 500 pints of whole blood in answer to the Red Cross plea to supply veterans and critically ill patients in civilian hospitals.
Monthly donations of the two schools, as well as the blood given by each SC campus organization, will be charted on a 6-foot red cross which will be erected in front of Bovard sometime next week. STEVE JEFFERS, CHAIRMAN The drive is under the chairmanship of Steve Jeffers. SAE, who was elected to office at a meeting last Wednesday attended by representatives from sororities and dormitories. Fraternities will be notified at the next interfraternity council meeting to arrange donations for the following week.
“Red Cross representatives of organizations should contact me and arrange a time for their members to donate bicod.” Jeffers stated. “We will probably have one day a week set aside at the center, Persh- < ing Square, for SC students only, and we will naturally want the full quota of 100 donors at that time.” VETS HOSPITAL SERVED Registration for prospective veteran doners who are not affiliated with any campus organization will accus Monday from 11 a.m. to 3 p. m. in front of Bovard. Women who signed for tables must be sure to appear, according to Bernice Hage, chairman of the SC Red Cross unit.
Members of the basketball and baseball squads were contacted by Miss Hage and expressed their will-(Contkiued on page 2)
Peace Treaty For Romania Gets Approval
Balkan State Given Free Shipping Rights Along Danube River
PARIS. Oct. 11—(UP) — The peace conference plenary session approved at 2 a.m. today a Romanian treaty in which the principle of free navigation on the vital Danube river waterway received a two-thirds majority over bitter Soviet protests.
Approval ot the Romanian treaty, second of five axis satellite treaties under consideration, leaves only the Hungarian, Bulgarian, and Finnish treaties to be voted upon before the peace conference adjournment deadline next Tuesday.
Another proposal obligating Romania to attend a meeting within six months to establish a permanent international regime for the vital waterway was approved 15 to 6. Both issues now go to the Big Four foreign ministers council as formal conference recommendations.
Russia opposed free navigation', contending instead that the problem should be decided upon by the Danube states alone and should not be included in the Balkan trea ties.
The conference also voted after two hours of argument over procedure to prohibit motor torpedo boats to the three Balkan nations
—	Romania. Bulgaria and Hungary
—	and to Finland.
This proposal, advanced by Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, was opposed by Soviet Foreign Minister Viacheslav M. Molotov who as chairman supported a Polish argument that it was a new proposal and therefore out of order.
The conference, however, voted 14 to 7 to put the resolution to a vote and then approved prohibition of motor torpedo boats to all axis satellites by 15 to 6.
Parking Fines. Soar; Lookout, Lawbreakers!
Students who have a habit of parking illegally will find living costs higher after Oct. 21, when parking fines will jump from $2 to $10, as announced by presiding Municipal Judge C. Newell Cams,
The action, which affects all the Los Angeles area, was the result of a three-month study ar.d survey of traffic conditions by a committee of judges. Violations included in the 500 per cent increase are parking where standing is prohibited, parking within an intersection, on a crosswalk, safety Tone, within J5 feet of a fire station or fire hydrant, in a driveway, in a bus zone, in a tunnel, on a sidewalk, and alongside or opposite excavations.

Rockets Away
Trip to Moon Necessitates Atomic Fuel Control—Ceer
by Barbara Troy
“When we are able to control atomic fuel it will be possible to send a rocket ship to the moon,” said Dr. Willard Geer, assistant professor of physics, in a recent interview.
At the present time we do not have the proper fuel to undertake such an experiment. The gasoline and alcoholic fuels in use today

Pharmacists Plan Initiation Dance

the moon. A tremendous amount of energy is required for such a task, for it takes as much of it to stop a ship as it does to start one. The fuels we use now are i scarcely able to propel a rocket 235 miles above the earth’s surface let alone 235.000 miles to the moon. CONTROL UNSATISFACTORY
Atomic power has the energy to make such a trip possible. Even an extremely heavy rocket would lequire the use of only a fraction of a pound of atomic fuel to send it hurtling through space to the moon. But. as yet, no satisfactory control over this power has been discovered.
A second difficulty in sending up moon-bound rockets is the danger of collision. If the rocket travels slowly, so that the danger arising from colliding with passing meteors
I is lessened, too much time is spent in making the trip. If a /aster journey is made, the damage caused by such a collision would vary as the velocity squared. Suggestions have been made concerning the use of radar to detect meteors and enable the ships to dodge them or to blast them out of the way by proximity-fused shells or rocket jets. It has also been suggested that steel protective shields tould be placed far ahead of the ships.
OPINIONS DIFFER
Estimates as to the length of time which will elapse between now and the first moon-bound rocket differ. Some of the more conservative scientists say 50 years, while others foresee it in five or six.
“This much is certain, however.” said Dr. Geer, “we have the ability to build rocket ships; we know how to take along air on the trip; we are able to insulate ships against the extreme cold weather, and we have space suits for rocket crew members already made.”
The lack of fuel control and the way to use it in successful rocket ships keep our scientists grounded now. but the day will come when such obstacles are hurdled, ana when that day does arrive, look out Buck Rogers — here we come.
The navy's twin-engine “Truculent Turtle,” holder of the long-dis-tance record, is among the many combat planes which have been invited to appear at the College of Aeronautics free public air show.
The gala exhibition will take place tomorrow and Sunday at Santa Maria.
