Tomorrow’s will not be just another football game for the Trojans.
The battle against Oregon State is the hurdle that may well answer the question: What kind of a football team does SC have?
Although the question has not always been asked out in the open, it has been uppermost in the minds of SC grid enthusiasts.
If the Trojans win decisively tomorrow, SC will regain its one-time high status in the national grid picture.
If they lose, it will be accepted that thss is not the Troy’s year — and all ensuing Rose Bowl talk will be so much wishful thinking.
At the final gun tomorrow afternoon when the crowd and the color and the excitement have left the Coliseum, the big question will have ^een answered.
Until then, the entire student body .puis its confidence and hope into the hands of 11 mtm and a coach. We think they’ll come up with the right answer.
Interfratemity council members put their heads together last night in preparation for the coming special election and came up with only six candidates for senators at large, a freshman class presidential nomination, and selections for officers of the College of Engineering.

PARIS, Oct. 16—More than 25,000 French merchant seamen joined France’s “political” transportation strike, immobilizing at least 35 ships in two harbors, and a general strike meeting was called for Monday.

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y„ Oct. 16—Great Britain told the United Nations today that it plans to withdraw from Palestine “within a limited time” and will refuse to play a major role in enforcing any UN Palestine settlement.-At the same time, it denied playing an underhanded role in the middle east.
LAS Quiz Show Planned for Rally
Chrys Chrys and his peppy assistants will dispense “spirit” to the accompaniment of music and a quiz program when students attempt to match wits with Cid Rieras. quizmaster, today in Bovard auditorium at noon.

Sororities and fraternities are asked to postpone lunch until after the rally in order to facilitate Greek student attendance. Regular class schedules will be in effect and no classes may be dropped.
British Colonial Secretary Arthur Creech-Jones insisted that Britain had a right to leave Palestine at any time, despite the American request that British troops remain until the future of Palestine is settled.
Creech-Jones said “The sand has started to run,” and warned the UN to speed a solution—but decide at the same time now to enforce it. He pleaded with both Arabs and Jews to avoid violence in the middle east, but the tone of his speech indicated clearly that he doubted that peace could be maintained without troops.
RENEW WARNINGS
The Arab states of Egypt. Saudi Arabia, and Iran immediately renewed their warnings that bloodshed would follow attempts to partition the holy land into Arab and Jewish states. They decried American support of Zionism, and made the boldest attacks on American Jews yet heard in UN.
M. H. Haekal of Egypt said that if UN decreed that the Jews should get part of Palestine, then the Jewish and Negro minorities in the United States would have a right to demand parts of America for their own independent states.
F. M. Jamali of Iraq lashed at
Jewish influence in the United States. He said it was natural for a democracy to have “internal pressure groups,” but added that it became a matter of world concern when they embarked a major power like the United States “on a policy detrimental to peace.’’
PARTIES COMPETE
Jamali said New York state has 800.000 Jewish voters, with Republicans and Democrats competing with each other “in the price they pay to win these votes."
Creech-Jones said he was forced to clarify the British position because of false rumors and insinuations about the British role in the middle east. •
‘ Mv government desires that I should be clear beyond all doubt and ambiguity that not only is our decision to wind up the mandate but that within a limited period we shall withdraw,” Creech-Jones said.
He did not attempt to set a date for the withdrawal, which he said could be halted only by two developments—an agreement by the Jews and Arabs to ask the British to stay; or a UN settlement which Britain would participate in “with other members of UN.”

.Unity Leaders Slam Proposal To Oust Orgs
Determined efforts to bring the Unity party into line as a direct and declared “anti-Row” force fell through yesterday afternoon in a campaign meeting as a small party turnout voted to continue past policy on membership.
Heated debate followed a suggestion that a proposal eliminating organized student support in the party be accepted by the convention. Greatest question mark in the situation was the problem of approving two fraternity men already named as Unity candidates in case the “independents vs. organized” policy was adopted. These candidates are Jim Young, Sigma Chi, Unity candidate for president of the College of Engineering; and Grafton Tanquary, Kappa Alpha, named for a senator-at-large post.
YOUNG DISSENTS Young blasted the proposal, maintaining, “TNE wants you to come out against the Row.” He said he thought the Unity party was the only way to break the "TNE hold on the Row,” adding, “I don’t care who runs the school as long as it is run intelligently.”
In a two-man debate on the subject. set up by the chair to bring cut both sides of the point. George Bermont called upon the party to “face the issue and realize that the fight was always on between independent and organized students.” \ IN THE COLD Fighting the proposal fiercely was

Party candidates Ed Penney, who last semester won the Hearst national oratory contest, expressed himself on the “spiit-with-the-Row motion. He saw the movement as “an issue which will defeat party.”
Unity party Chairman Latimer “Gabby” Garrett, waiting to throw the explosive idea into the meeting, expressed a favorable opinion of the proposal to “draw the line.” He added. “Were kidding ourselves if we think we'll get any Row votes.” SUPPORT YOUNG
John Houk, Unity candidate for ASSC president last spring supported the stand made by Young, maintaining, “We cannot properly call ourselves ‘Unity party’ if we exclude students, either organized ASSC president last spring, support good government."
The motion to set up the party as a definite group fighting the Row wras defeated by a show of hands.

Wildman also impressed upon the members the importance of naming the senator at large candidates in preference order since the top men our on the ballot will be elected first. These senators at large will hold voting privileges on the ASSC senate and are therefore politically bound.
Politics were forgotten momentarily when Norm Hawes and Ralph Towmsend announced plans for the IFC convention to be held in November. Townsend stated that the convention dance will be held at the Hermosa Biltmore hotel on Nov. 8.
