Registrar Tells Uses of Little Punched Cards
Many students in yesterday’s classes probably wondered what the reason was for filling out the perforated oblong cards that were given them by their instructors.
The registrar’s office issued a statement saying that it is an experiment in attempting to eliminate the confusion that results from the aftermath of a hectic registration. Erring students in the past have unknowingly listed the wrong number on their registration cards and when the registrars office force tried to classify them, the results proved unsatisfactory. It was discovered that as many as 8000 errors had been detected.	•
MINUTES FOR DAYS It is hoped that the use of these IBM ("International Business Machines) cards will lessen the time required by the registrar's office in completing its work. The International Business Machine classifies thousands of cards in a few minutes accurately and efficiently. It would require a score of workers several days to do the same work.
This system has been in operation at the University of California for the past semester and although it hasn’t been perfected, there has been an improvement over the old system of segregating them by hand. The registrar’s office believes that they can benefit by Cal’s shortcomings and establish a greater degree of efficiency in less time.
NO TWO ALIKE These cards are perforated in such a way that no two cards are alike, making it possible for the machine to separate them accordingly.
Tlie IBM machine is very expensive and it is financially impossible for organizations with a small amount of work to maintain one. so work is sent to a centrally located machine with the city. Its cost is roughly estimated at $12,000 and it requires a highly paid crew of maintenance men and operators.
by Trojan rooters “the game” of | the year, are to be shown after the intermission.
Mr. Dyer, who will pose football enthusiasts’ questions for the panel group, is one of Troy's most faithful followers, haring covered the Trojan’s out-of-town games, as well as local ones, for his paper for many years. He attended the Ohio State shutout earlier this season and has just returned from Saturday’s clash in Washington.
Clean,-, one of the four local footballers on the panel, was recommended Monday by the Football Writers association of southern California for consideration for all-American honors this year along with John Ferraro.

Goes to Press
Chief Vulture Charles Neiswender emerged long enough from his musty den yesterday to reveal to a DT reporter some of the sordid items of scandal the notorious campus rag will unveil to a waiting public when It swoops out of its lofty lair tomorrow.
Among the juicy items which will appear in tomorrow’s Vulture is a full-page spread on this year’s four-star coeds. Neiswender promises that the six luscious beauties will far surpass readers' fondest hopes.
“We have a hot story on the Hollywood Red investigation from our Washington correspondent,’' Neiswender said when pressed for information.
The “vicious” Vulture may be purchased on the campus early tomorrow morning and its salesmen will be easily recognized, because they will be attired in the “dirty look’’ instead of the “new took,” Neiswender said.

Campus Theater to Present Popular Chinese Puppet Act
Representing a type of entertainment popular for centuries in China, a Chinese puppet show will be presented at the Touchstone theater, Old College, today at noon.
Inviting all students to attend, Dr. Theodore Chen, head of the department of Asiatic studies, stated that no admission will be charged because of the
many Americans believe.*
The authors whose works Dr. von Hofe will review are Albrecht Haushofer, Gearhard Hasler, Joachim Kreuder, and Stephan Hermlin.
YOUTHFUL Haushofer was the son of Karl | Haushofer, one of the leading Nazi i geopoliticians. He disagreed with his i father and was imprisoned in 1944.
| where he wrote sonnets which have i now been published as “Moabiter I Sonette.” Haushofer was shot the ! day before the Russian army en-j tered Berlin.
• Hasler, only 16 years old, has i written many short stories that seek j to give hope and inspiration to the j German people in their devastated ! country.
CONSPIRATORS
Novels selected for discussion are Kreuder's “The Gang in the Attic,” and Hermlin’s “Der Leutnant.” The former deals with a group of homeless people who take over the top floor of an abandoned building and there form a secret society with romantic plans for reforming the world, while Hermlin’s book describes the attempt to assassinate Hitler in July, 1944.
Remarking on the title of his talk. Dr. von Hofe said that “Romanticism deals generally with the emotions, the spiritual experiences, and the insight of the individual. It does not stress the political and social problems of the day, nor is it primarily concerned with the welfare of man. The romantic sense has often been defined as the prophetic seer foretelling the future."
Additional Unit Slated foi EvK
Plans for the addiis-n of a new $300,000 unit to the isabeth von KleinSmid women’s : idence hall, sponsored by Town £\d Gown of SC, were announced r;| esday at the organization’s month; meeting by Mrs. John W. Harris,^president.

Dahl Directs Combination Thursday Night in Bovard
A crowd equal to that at last year’s fall concert which filled the main floor and first balcony of Bovard auditorium is expected tomorrow night when the university orchestra and chorus combine to give their opening concert of the season. Beethoven’s difficult “Fantasia” is featured.

Vulture Replaces Tomorrow'.** DT
The DT will not afe>,ear tomorrow because of tj.e scheduled swoop of the Vultu t campus scandal sheet. Pi f lication will resume with the E^nay issue, however. Editor D*k Eshleman ..nnounced.
Dahl, the musical groups hope to achieve the success rated them last February when music critics claimed the concert program to be ‘Two triumphant hours of well-balanced music” due to a “truly professional performance of the entire group.” Mr. Dahl, who directed the ‘Te Deum” program last year, will lead both the orchestra and chorus in the concerto numbers while Charles C. Hirt, director of the thorns, will take the podium for the cantata program being given in December.
EVERYBODY WORKS “It is difficult for a concert organization to get together thc performance for a piece like Beethoven’s ‘Fantasia’ which is being presented tomorrow night,” Mr. Dahl said. “Since it is a number which uses the piano solo work, the orchestra, and the chorus, it is often a problem to assemble the performers for practices. Because SC has a College of Music which can produce all the participants. I feel it is a duty of the university to help the public become acquainted with such compositions.” he stated.
John Crown, professor of piano, will do the piano solo work that opens the ''Fantasia” with a lengthy introduction, later carrying on a dialogue with the orchestra. The solo will state the main theme of the composition which is later sung by the chorus.
BEETHOVEN’S BEST The fact that this number is rarely performed does not, in Mr. Dahl’s opinion, mean that it is a minor work. Although it will be performed for the first time in Los Angeles, it is considered by the director to rank with Beethovn’s greatest piano concertos.
This opinion holds true for the Mozart Concerto for Clarinet which is included on Thursday night’s program and features Kalman Block, faculty member, on the clarinet.
“Due to the fact that soloists in the limelight these days are vocalists, pianists, or violinists, it is almost impossible to hear some of the major concertos written by the great composers for other instruments,” Director Dahl continued.
ANOTHER BEETHOVEN The fourth number included in the concerto program is Beethoven’s Overture No. 3 for the opera “Le ere.” one of the most famous of his overtures.
This program is the first of two being given by the university orchestra this semester.
The program tomorrow night will begin at 8:30, and all friends and members of the university are invited. There will no no admission charge.
Stanford Rally Will Spotlight Outside Talent
While Yell Leader Chrys Chrys and his pepmen get set to generate
spirit for the 8C-Stanford game Saturday, Horace Heidt and his Musical Knights will entertain for an hour at a rally Friday night at 7:30 in Bovard auditorium.
Several artists of the band will perform to make the rally an entertaining evening. George Davis, business manager for Mr. Heidt. said yesterday.
Included among the artists are Frankie Sabuto. comic guitarist: Dewie Davenport, dancer; Herman Saunders, pianist: Allan Bode, comedian: and the Heidt Tones, the vocal sextette.
Mr. Sabuto will present some of his humorous singing with his own guitar accompaniment. He has made appearances on the Dinah Shore and Phil Hams shows and was guest on the Archie 'Duffy’s Not Here) Gardner program several weeks ago.
Horace Heidt’s 16-man band has been organized about three months and is currently staging a musical review at the Trianon ballroom. Mr. Heidt broke up his last band In 1946, and until recently has been absent from the public light, Mr. Davis said. The band is booked for many engagements locally, including a show wi the air starting Dec. 8.
“All students should come out to the rally and hear Horace Heidt and his band, because there is a possibility that he will play for a school dance here soon,” Mitch Gamson. rally committee head, said.
