ty view is that it is a student ansibility to guard Tommy. It Id be on a cooperative basis,’’
said Elton D. Phillips, university business manager.
“Last year we spent almost $2000 to guard the campus.” said Phillips. He felt that the results were not worth the expenditure.
In 1947 Tommy was splashed with paint although the university had supplied guards. It was removed by students and Tommy received a new bronze coat with money donated by students. He was also given a sword.
His sword disappeared early in the semester, and last week the words UCLA and Stanford were painted on him.
“I feel confident that California will try to paint Tommy, at the very least.” Thomas said. He pointed out that California partisans have already burned large Cs in the lawn in front of the University library and the Administration building.
Fee Proposed For Financing Health Center
McClymonds Suggests Hospital Construction; Asks $10 Assessment
Addition of a $10 health fee to tuition rates would provide money for a new health center and greatly increase services for the university, Bob McClymonds, Greater University committee chairman, said yesterday.
Basing his estimate on enrollment figures, McClymonds said such a fee would net more than $300,000 a year. This sum, he said, would soon pay for a hospital and cover the expense of a health service.
The fee would equal the amount charged at Harvard and cost two-thirds of the Stanford rate.
NOT SANCTIONED A program is being considered by the university health office, headed by Dr. Paul O. Greeley. Wrhen completed, it will provide for a hospital. All plans are in the visionary stage and none have received university sanction.
McClymonds said that an interim medical care and hospitalization plan should be put into operation pending the erection of the hospital. He suggested that a doctor should be available for students at all times and that arrangements be made with a local hospital for use of 6-10 beds.
NEAR UNIVERSITY Hospital construction was estimated to cost $18 a square foot by C. Raimond Johnson, university architect. This includes the cost of real property.
Lots near the university have been surveyed and a hospital site has been selected.
McClymonds said a 40-bed hospital would cost from $300,000 to $350,000. The university now owns some hospital equipment. --Beat the Bears-
Knights to Split Card Section
Cancel your dates for tomorrow’s game! SC’s rooting section has been revised!
Plans for the new rooting section were announced today by Morey Thomas, Trojan Knight president, lhe new' all-male card section was voted in tentatively by the Knights in an attempt to increase Trojan cheering at the forthcoming football tussle with Cal.
Under the new plan women w'ill sit to the left of the card section, and will enter the Coliseum through tunnel 22. They must wear white blouses and carry pompons in order to be admitted.
SEXES SUPERVISED
Men will enter through tunnel 21, but will not be permitted in the card section unless they are wearing white shirts and rooters caps. Knights and Amazons will supervise the men’s and women’s sections.
Couples who do not wish to sit in the rooting sections may enter through tunnel 23 and sit to the left of the women rooters.
Half-time activities will include card stunts from both sides of the field. Among SC plans is a welcome to Gov. Earl Warren, who will attend the game as a Cal alumnus.
COOPERATION ASKED
George Prussell and Ron Gordon of the Squires Project committee are asking that all rooters cooperate with the director of the card stunts. Men are asked to take seats directly behind instruction cards, and to notify Squires if there are any vacancies. Each rooter must have four colored cards.
Kick-off time is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Gates will open at 11 a.m., with the Frosh game scheduled for 11:15.

Editorial
★ What Will You Do?
Last year, more than 38,000 office calls r.ere processed and 9122 students were X-rayed by the university health service. In addition, more tharf 1550 physio-thera-py treatments were given.
This semester the clinic is jammed with between 200 and 300 calls per day, and the total sometimes reaches the staggering figure of 500. Dr. Paul O. Greeley estimates a total of 50,000 calls for the academic year.
Recently a student was stricken with diphtheria in one of the dormitories. His roommates were forced to move into the basement, because the man could not have otherwise been isolated. In another case, the proctor of a dormitory has had the burden of rising every two hours for several nights in order to administer to one of his charges.
It is plain that there is much to be desired in the health services at SC. Dr. Paul O. Greeley, head of the clinic, is the only full-time doctor on the staff, and the part-time services of other doctors add up to the equivalent of only two other full-time men. The National Student Health association sets a ratio of one doctor to 1500 students as adequate. SC has only one to every 5000 or more.
Every facility of the university is strained to its utmost, and progress is necessarily slow and painstaking. It is a credit to the foresight of the university administration that it is taking steps to alleviate present difficulties and to plan a long-range program of construction and development.
But it is also of the utmost importance
that the student body assist in the removal of obstacles to the improvement of facilities.
For this reason, the Daily Trojan, in cooperation with Bob McClymonds and the Greater University committee, is launching a campaign to poll the student body on its wishes relative to increased health services and—what is more important— what it is willing to do to help.
Dr. Greeley has iridicated that much can be done to expand existing facilities and possibly to build toward the addition of a new health center if a health services fee is added to the cost of tuition.
The university administration has understandably been reluctant to impose this extra burden on already skyrocketed tuition fees. Without it, however, the health services must remain wholly inadequate to meet the needs of our student body.
Appended to this editorial and on the front page of the Daily Trojan for the next week, you will find a questionnaire. You are urged to complete this form together with any remarks you may care to make and drop it into the Daily Trojan letter box under the student directory on the first floor of the Student Union.
The more answers we get, the better the Greater University committee will be able to determine student opinion on this vital issue. The result lies in your hands; give us your replies in the thousands—a total of 15,000 or more completed blanks returned to this office could not fail to have intense influence on consideration of the health and future of SC.
Rose Bowl Honors Hinge on Outcome
by >Ial Florence
Coach Lynn “Pappy” Waldorf’s big bad Bears from Berkeley, boasting of their greatest team since the early ’20 “wonder teams” and the 1937 powerhouse, will storm into the Coliseum tomorrow to do battle with a three-touchdown underdog Trojan team. Kickoff is scheduled for-2:30 p.m.

Weather
. . * for Saturday’s Trojan-Bear game should be ideal, the weatherman said today.
Currently ranked as the No. 4 team in the nation and possessing a 1948 record of six straight wins against no defeats, the Bears must still clear the Trcjan hurdle if they hope to visit Pasadena New Year’s day.
LONE SETBACK
In fact, the Bears have lost only one game in two years — that being a stunning 39-14 setback handed them by the Trojans last year in Berkeley. Like last season, the Rose Bowl bid and possible national honors (for Cal) hinge on the outcome of tomorrow's game.
An estimated crowd of 90.000 and up will be on hand to witness the Bears in their first southland appearance. Cal needs no incentive to take SC to task. Besides the fact that Cal’s Rose Bowl hopes were spoiled by Troy last year, the Bears have not beaten the Trojans since 1941, when they won, 14-0. Since that time the best the Bears have been able to do is grab a 6-6 tie from SC in 1944. In fact. California has never beaten a Jeff Cravath coached team. Another old wound that the Bear is still licking is that 74-0 defeat hung‘on them by one of Howard Jones’ powerhouses in 1930 at the Coliseum. Yes. the Bears are bursting with incentive.
HOW ABOUT IT?
What about the Trojans? In the past three games' the offensiveless Troys have scored only 21 point1;, but it was enough to win two cf the contests. The setback was administered to them by the Oregon Webfoots at Portland. 8-7. Cal. which doesn’t meet Oregon this season, is currently tied with the Webfoots for first place in the PCC. A victory over the Trojans tomorrow is a must for the Bears.
If it’s any consolation, the Trojans have been improving with every game. On rushing defense, the

Harper Elected By Freshmen
Fred Harper was elected president of the freshman class and Tracy St. John vice-president yesterday afternoon.
The ASSC Senate, meeting in special session, approved the results shortly after the ballot count. Election Commissioner Bill McGur-ty’s report was approved along with a motion by Bob Padgett, independent representative, that the winning candidates submit an affidavit to the Senate stating that they had not exceeded the $20 campaign expenditure limit.
The Senate had to suspend the rules to allow Wally Reed to proxy for Ham- Cook, junior class president, in order to have a quorum to approve the Jesuits.
The race for president, for which seven candidates had filed, developed into a two-man race between Harper and Richard Wortley. As counting of the ballots progressed, it was evident that it would be a race right down to the last ballot. Harper won by a margin of four votes, garnering 59 of 193 votes cast. Wortley finished with a total of 55.
Tracy St. John pulled away in the final stages of counting to defeat his closest opponent for Tice-president, Patricia O’Bryan. St. John had a final total of 75 votes to 50 for Miss O’Bryan.

IFC Removes School Politics From Laws
The Interfraternity council voted 24-3 last night to remove school politics from their constitution, thus removing a source of political friction which prevailed on the Row.
The action removes from the law a clause stating that “at least two weeks before any student body election the IFC

will meet and select the candidate for each office whom it will endorse and support in the coming election.”
Fraternities voting to retain the law were Phi Kappa Tau, Tau Epsilon Phi, and Zeta Beta Tau, with Chi Phi abstaining. Kappa Sigma and Alpha Rho Chi were absent from the meeting.
The vote was the final result of a long series of Row political controversy which last May found the IFC at odds as to which presidental candidate to back. An all-Row primary was finally held to determine the candidate.
Formation of a political action committee to investigate fraternity politics recently backfired wrhen its chairman, Ralph Townsend, resigned upon learning that sororities were unwilling to join the investigation.

Rooters Apathy Riles Chairman
“What is the matter with SC spirit?” asked Bob Russo, rally chairman, referring to lack of enthusiasm in the Trojan rooting
section.
We ‘‘sit around” and tell each other how “red-hot” the Cal and Stanford rooting sections are but do nothing to improve our own.
He said that all SC needs is a little help in the rooting section. “Bring your rooters caps, megaphones, cowbells, horns, noise maters—and your voices,” he urged.
