To meet the increased demand for typewriters by the student body, the library has installed four new public pay typewriters in the typing room of University library. These automatic units consist of a standard typewriter set on a specially built table equipped with a coin slot and locking mechanism which is completely automatic and operates for a period of 30 minutes for 10 cents.
These machines have been installed in Texas A&M, Univer-' sity of Texas, and Baylor uni-sity with outstanding success. More typewriters will be installed if the demand for them warrants.
Although owned by a private company, the mechines w ill con -tribute to the university 10 per cent of their gross income.

Early comers will enter stairways 20 and 21, women using 20 and men in 21. Later, as the section fills, tunnels 20 and 21 will be opened. As usual only women with pom poms and white blouses and men with rooters caps and white shirts will be allowed in the section, Crawford said.
Several new animated stunts are planned for the game Saturday which will, Crawford hints, “put the bear behind the 8-ball for the second time during the game.”
If the outcome of the game is successful, the band will play the alma mater, and the rooting section will stand and sing. After the alma mater, the whole section will leave the stands as a group and march across the field to serenade the California rooting section. The band will lead followed by the Knight and Squires, the yell leaders. and the section as a whole.
Though nobody admits the possibility, if SC should lose, the section will sit tight and wait to be serenaded by the Bear section.

vote for their future state leaders and for the propositions on the ballot.
Although the opinions varied on the abilities of the candidates, students showed extreme interest in the most prominent propositions.
This is how some of the SC students voted yesterday:
Joe Verdun; sophomore in psychology and drama departments In my opinion neither side pulled any punches in their campaigning. They both freely expressed their opinions about the opponents. In spite of this, people continued to vote according to their own fixed ideas.
REPUBLICAN VICTORY
Angelo Villa, graduate teaching assistant in Spanish — Due to the apathy of the public in getting to the polls, the minority party, which in my estimate is the Republican party, will win throughout the nation.
Bea O’Melveny, former army nurse and music education junior— The average college student discussed the elections enough before yesterday7 but when the time came for action, he didn't do anything about it.
That proposition No. 3 and 9, more pay for teachers and a fixed term for the state superintendent of schools, deserved a strong yes was the prevailing opinion.
NO. 11 IMPRACTICAL Bruce Clark, former naval submarine officer and School of Law fieshman — The idea behind proposition No. 11 was good but it has no practical basis in a legislative form.
Sue Adams, drama freshman — No. 2. the dog racing issue, is a
anything about him but another Prohibitionist?
Justin Harvey and Bob Faust, School of Law — What we want to know is this. What is a Democrat -Republican? How does the voting public know what these men represent? We don't!
An un-identified student—Everything good in No. 11 is already offered to us in the Constitution. The bad parts in it are so numerous that the whole proposition should be clarified before making it a law. MORE PAY
Bill H y a m. physical education teaching assistant — In order for ue future teachers to cope with the oesired progressiveness of education, we must be materially able to ad* just ourselves to the economic situation at the present time. In othei* words, better pay makes better teachers.
Frances Nuno. graduate student in elementary education—If teachers are paid better their talents won’t be diverted into other fields.
Leaders Ask Troy to Give Till It Hurts
Declaring tomorrow and Friday to be Red Feather days for the ciimax of their drive, SC Community Chest campaign leaders yesterday issued a final appeal to Trojans to dig deep for contributions and to give until it hurts.
Latest calculations show that amounts received in the drive to date total $2821.86. This leaves the campaign still some $2100 short of its $5000 goal.
In setting aside tomorrow and Friday as Red Feather days, campaign leaders indicated that representatives of campus organizations aiding the chest drive will appe .r at 10 a.m. in campus building these days to distribute Red Feather envelopes. Each student will get an opportunity to get a Red Feather. RED FEATHER ENVELOPES Repre sentatives of Trojan Knights. Squires. Blue Key, Troeds, Amazons. Phrateres, Sword and Shield, and Spooks and Spokes are scheduled to give out the Red Feather envelopes. The envelopes may be turned in to these persons or brought to the Community Chest collection booths in front of the Administration building or in Engineering and Annex.
“We need cooperation,” Paul Wildman. chairman of the drive, said, “and the only way to attain our goal is for everyone to dig deep and give as much as they can.”

In color, the movie was filmed by Professor Bauwens during a 700-mile trip down the Colorado river with three SC students. In making the film, he had the cooperation of Prof. J. K. Nunan. formerly of the SC School of Engineering and now an officer in the Ansco Film company.
Professor Bauwens received his degree in Hanover university, Germany, and has spent all his life in engineering work. He has worked for the Frank G. Baum company of San Francisco. San Joaquin Power and Light company, and many others.

Wednesday’s regular meeting of the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship has been postponed until tomorrow noon in 418 Student Union, according to Ken Cragg, president.
Highlighting the “battle of bands” at the SC-California football game Saturday, the SC Red Cross chapter will appear on the field in pre-game ceremonies. Made up of representatives of all the sorority houses on campus, 64 women will form a large red cross between the two rival bands, Marilyn Miller, president of the SC chapter, announced today.
SC and UCLA Red Cross chapters are competing during the current drive and the Saturday appearance is to stimulate donations, according to Miss Miller.
The Trojan band is preparing to surprise the Golden Bear invaders with special stunts and equipment, William Gould, director of the SC band, reported.
Consisting of 100 musicians, the California Bear band, pius an organized rooting and card section, is making the trip to Los Angeles. Both bands will combine on the field for pre-game stunts, and each band will have 10 minutes between halves in which to perform.
In order to insure “victory” over the Berkeley rivals, who have a fine band this year, Mr. Gould requested that band and glee club members attend all rehearsals this week.
Band practice is scheduled for tonight and the final rehearsal for band and glee club members will be held at 8:15 Saturday morning in the Coliseum.
