Johnson could give no definite information about; the building that will replace venerable Old College except that it will be a. permanent structure. He added that on future plans for SC, a College of Letters, Arts and Sciences building is to be i located on the present Old College j site.
OPINIONS DIFFER
News of the razing of the 64-year-old building brought diversified j opinions from Trojans.
Cedric Gerson, College of Com-Imerce prexy, expressed the opinion i that the average Trojan would be more than willing to endure the i temporarily cramped quarters with ! the prospect of a roomier, more comfortable building in sight.
BURN IT
Dynamic Jack McKee, Yell King, ; volunteered the suggestion tliat the razing be held up until Homecom-! ing week, when a match could be j touched to the old building. “We’d 1 have the biggest bonfire in Homecoming week history,” McKee said.
Many of the more sentimental Trojans could only view the passing of Old College from the scene with regret.
KEEP IT
As Trojane Shirley Tanquary said,
! "When they tear down Old College, they’ll destroy lots of SC's | finest traditions.”
With the passing of Old College \ poes the record established in 1893 | by the Rev. Franklin N. Lapham. He lays claim to being the only student to ever climb the tall steeple I of Old College and hang his class : colors from the steeple.
“George Tirebiter was apprehended by local authorities and booked oil assault and battery,” Hugh Greenup, the mascot’s caretaker, informed the DT yesterday.
Recently a complaint was registered against George by health officials of this vicinity, when he nipped a passing man. George was let out on bail and was able to attend the first night football game last week, with the understanding that he would be in the presence of Greenup at all times. But George fled his caretaker and bit another.
Health officials have given Greenup the choice of turning George loose and going to the pound, where Mr. T. will be locked behind bars for life.
“To turn Tirebiter over to
the pound will break his spirit,” Greenup said. But health officials have softened and have said that George may remain on campus if he has a 6-foot leash, a muzzle, and is in the custody of some responsible person at all times. It will be impossible for me to be in constant touch with George. Something has to be done, because if George breaks parole this time he gets “life.”
The four suggestions that Greenup offered as solutions to Tirebiter’s problem are to leave him in the pound, fence off one of the fraternity houses, find some loyal Trojan with a yard that is fenced off so he will be able to romp around, or turn him loose and have Greenup go to jail.

Juniors to Seek Council Positions

Library Officials Give Usage Hints
Editor Announces DT Appointments
New appointments to the Daily j Trojan staff were announced yes-terday by Editor Jerry Maher. A desk editor assignment went to Jack Gregg While Buster Sussman and Howard Meyerson were designated assistant desk editors.
. Other appointments went to Joy i Miller, exchange editor; Herb Berkus, news oesk assistant; Al Wool- : folk, editorial board; and Norma ! DeYoung, picture editor.
The old axiom “You can’t keep a good man down, but it’s next to impossible to get him up in the morning” has a parallel in university library circles, according to Assistant Librarian Rice Estes.
“SC’s students are eager for knowledge, but they don’t know howto use the libraries at their disposal,” Estes said.
In desperation library officials have prepared instructions on use of the sundry book depositories on campus for the uninformed members of the clan as follows:
The index to campip libraries is j the card catalogue, located to the ! left of the main circulation desk j as the searcher faces the desk. ; Books are listed under three headings, author, title, and subject.
If the book cannot be found j under the author’s name, try one j title. Failing in this, look under | several likely subjects, like Engineering, for works on ballistics. In case this ends in a cul de sac, take the ehtire tray of cards to the loan desk and ask somebody to help you.
Perhaps you can get your information from the reference department at the end of the hall to the right as you face the circulation desk. Many uncatalogued pamph-
lets and government periodicals are held in reference here.
Try the periodical index across the hall from reference if the information is current.
Textbooks are not in the library, so don’t count on beating the line across the street. '
After locating your book, fill out a white “home use” slip and hand it to an attendant at the circulation desk. The book will be given to you after a short delay.
If, however, the call number is preceded by an “R” the book is a reference work and requires a yellow “library use” slip. Rubber stamp tracks above the call number indicate the periodicals desk or one of the campus libraries. A pink card in front of the catalogue card indicates the reserve book desk on the ground floor. In all cases your identification card must be presented.
The following are the special libraries on campus:
Architecture and Fine Arts, Harris hall; Education, second floor, University library; Engineering, second floor, Engineering; Hancock, second floor, Hancock hall, for graduate students only; Hoose Library of Philosophy, second floor, Mudd halL

Camera Shy? Take'Em Again
Student activity ticket purchasers holding claim check numbers 279 through 284 and 658 through 898 must have their pictures retaken today if they want to protect their $13.50 investment.
There have been no tickets printed for these buyers, and if this second date is not kept there will be no way for them to gain admission to athletic contests.
Art Waldinger, the camera man,
will be available in the basement of the Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. today to accommodate these retakes and initial purchasers. Although there is no definite word on provisions to be made for future buyers, this will probably be the photographer’s last appearance on the campus.

Library Blaze Put Out Fast
Minutes after a small fire broke out in the janitor’s supply room of University library yesterday afternoon, three engine companies, a ladder truck, and a salvage truck arrived to battle the smoke.
Fire trucks from the Jefferson and McClintock station were first to appear. They had the flames under control when the other trucks appeared.
James Dyer, acting chief of Battalion 3, said the probable cause of the blaze was spontaneous combustion of oily mops stored in the supply room.
Traffic Squads Due on Campus
Until someone invents something in the line of a campus stretcher, auto traffic will prcbably remain a headache, but the Greater University committee has lowered its sights on the foot-traffic problem.
Following the committee’s recommendation, Morey Thomas, Knight president, today appointed Bob Reis to head an action squad composed of Knights, Squires, Amazons, and Spurs. The group will attack the problem at its worst point, Bridge halL

Missing Actor Returns Home
James Sargent, SC drama student who disappeared last May, returned to his home June 3, the DT learned yesterday.
Missing persons bureau officers checked the records in response to a DT request and reported that Sargent had shown up at his home, 5780 Tuxedo terrace of his own accord. At that time he stated he had spent the 29 days of his disappearance at the beach area around Santa Monica.
A telephone call to Sargent’s home brought nothing but a vague confirmation of the student’s return from a friend who did not identify himself. He said he did not know where Sargent was at the present
time, but thought the actor’s wife was staying in Altadena and “may | be with Jim.”
Sargent, who had acted the role of the father in “Years Ago” and that of the captain in “No Love Atoll,” disappeared May 5, failing to show7 up to meet his wife, Nina, in Hollywood.
Returning to their home, his wife discovered missing several checks and more than 200 dollars in cash. A farewell note left by Sargent made references to soliloquy passages in “Hamlet.”

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20—Gen. George Churchill Kenney, pugnacious apostle of long-range bombardment, was relieved as chief of the air force’s strategic air command today. He will be replaced by Lt. Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, the cigar-chewing boss of the Berlin airlift.
This major shakeup in commands was announced without explanation at air force headquarters late today.
Strikers Work Under Truce
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20—Working under a “military truce,” striking CIO longshoremen today withdrew pickets from west coast army docks and resumed the job of loading military cargoes for the army’s Pacific outposts. „
The army cargoes, which make up about 30 per cent of the total west coast shipping, have been piling up on government docks since the maritime and longshore unions struck against the Waterfront Employees association 19 days ago.
Daylight Saving Urged Lifted
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 20—The State Board ot Agriculture today decided to make an effort to have daylight saving time lifted in California, in spite of Gov. Earl Warren’s recent decision to maintain it.
The board made the decision after members indicated that farmers of the state generally favored the return to standard time because of labor difficulties.
Modern society Is fearful today because of a loss of fundamental values necessary in human relations between individuals and nations.” He intends to discuss the failure of both education and society to put their own houses in order.
PROGRAM TO OPEN The program will open with the playing of the national anthem. Dr. Merle Smith will then deliver the invocation. At the piano Miss Steuber will render the three movements of the Debussy Suite for Piano; Prelude, Sarabande, and Toccata. President Fagg will introduce Dean Strevey, who occupies the feature position on the schedule. Dr. Charles C. Hirt, university choral director, will then lead the audience in the Alma Mater, which will be followed by the concluding benediction, given by Dr. Smith.
