Shanks Hits Row Drinking
Fraternities have been warned to stop excessive drinking.
This warning came from Ken Shanks, Interfraternity council coordinator, at a meeting of the IFC yesterday when he said that “there is too much drinking on the Row.”
“If you want proof.” said Shanks, “just look at the trash cans along the alley.”
Shanks then issued a warning against the hazing of pledges. His remarks were prompted by the complaint of a local druggist that SC fraternity men recently bought large amounts of ether and chloroform.
Between warnings, the IFC managed to elect Jim Biby, Phi Sigma Kappa, treasurer on a roll call vote.	'
Jack Davis, homecoming dance chairman, said each fraternity house will be given bids to sell to their members.

JIM COOKE . . . directs card stunts
Card Section To Depict Naval Antics
When the SC and San Diego Navy football teams leave for the dressing room after the first half of the game tonight, the Trojan card section will entertain the fans with a series of five animated stunts and six other card tricks.
The stunts, designed by Ken Wormhoudt, are under the direction of President Jim Cooke and his Knights.
Opening with a greeting to the sailors, “Ahoy Navy,” Trojan fans will follow with a salute to a former Trojan, Navy Coach Tay Brown.
Animated Stunt
The animated series begins with stunt three, which depicts a goat, the Navy mascot, running madly across a green turf. Stunt No. 4 shows him aiming for his target, which happens to be Tommy Trojan bending over in a vunerable position.
As the goat rams Tommy in the fifth stunt a terrific explosion occurs, and then the horned mascot looks up as Tommy sails out of sight.
This display ends as Tommy lands on the goat’s back, flexes his muscles, and rides away—victorious.
Alums Invited
“Welcome Alums," an invitation to homecoming activities Oct. 25, is illustrated in card trick nine.
Trojan rooters will form a huge block SC in cardinal and gold, flip to the opposition's colors and back. The Trojan card section will close with a statue of Tommy Trojan.
Students are asked to enter tunnels or stairways 22 and 23 after gates open at 5 p.m. No seats can be saved after 6:30.

Y Tonight
Game to Feature Open House After Catalyne”’s Band
Music at tonight’s YWCA open house will take on a livelier beat with Joe Cata-lyne and his five-man Dixieland combo furnishing music from 11 p.m. until 1 a.m. after the game. The “Y” is located on the corner of Hoover street and 36th place. Official Dixieland band for
the Hollywood Stars baseball club the past two years, Catalyne’s band has been called the most authentic band of its type in the United States.
Although specializing in jazz, Catalyne’s band also will play soft dance music.
Larger Crowd
Joan Field, ASSC vice-president, said, “The first two open house parties were so successful |* we have made arrangements for a larger crowd this evening.”
Catalyne, a clarinet player, is an SC student majoring in music education. Several of his combo artists have played for “big name bands,” including Trombonist Freddy Thompson (Frank DeVol), Drummer Dick Angel (Red Nichols), Pianist Ray Sherman (Ben Pollard), and Roily Furnace (Pete Dailey).
Catalyne Capers
Catalyne’s combo isn’t new to SC. He played at the jam session last year in front of Mudd hall after the TCU-SC game.
His most recent appearances have been on the Judy Garland show and at the Pomona fair.
Twenty coeds will be hostesses at the open house, said chairman Jan Anderson.
Shirley Egland and Joe Greenway are in charge of refreshments.
Tommy T. 'Undercover Man Now As Six Coats of Plastic Applied
Tommy Trojan became an “undercaver man” yesterday when he was encased from the bottom of his pedestal to the top of his helmet in six coats of plastic.
Called “liquid envelope,” the plastic was developed by A. Lewis and company. It was first used in sealing ships and tanks.
John D. Fields, head of the Department of Development, brought the process to the attention of other university officials, and as a result Tommy now has a new suit.
“A. Lewis and company are just as interested in the success of the plastic as we are,” said Anthony D. Lazzaro, superintendent of buildings and grounds. “This material has never been applied to a bronze statue before, so it is actually an experiment for the company,” he said.
Tommy’s six-coat covering was a gift from the company. The only cost to the university was the sandblasting job which preceded the spraying. Each layer of plastic is about one-thousandth of an inch thick, and is transparent and shiny.
“The material was subjected to various acts of violence— which Tommy might undergo,” said Lazzaro, “and withstood them. We are hoping it will be just as successful now that it has been applied.”

TOMMY WALKER ... 100 per cent men
Band Remains All-Male Unit
Majorettes will not accompany the Trojan band this year.
Band Director Tommy Walker said that yesterday, commenting that there would be less friction and resentment with the student body, faculty, administration, and alumni if the band was kept a 100 per cent men’s unit.
Not until an article appeared in the DT that the AWS and Knights had approved of adding drum majorettes to the band did any repercussions arise, Walker said. When more people learned of the proposal, there was oppo-sion, he said.
City Schools Disapprove One of the biggest reasons for not having majorettes in the band stemmed from the fact they were not allowed in the bands of the L.A. city high schools, Walker said.
The city school administration definitely does not approve of majorettes in the SC band,” Walker said. “They looked up to us, and we didn’t want to cause any friction with them.”
Some members of the faculty disapproved of the idea, since they felt a woman’s place was not on the football field, he said.
Walker Approves When asked why the AWS and Knights approved the majorette plan, Walker said, “they did not know anyone was going to disapprove of majorettes.”
“I am in favor ol majorettes, but I will not have them unless
I	know the student body, faculty, administration, and alumni, are backing the whole idea,” Walker said. “I will do nothing to push the issue.”

Ike Backs GOP Aid To Schools
by United Press
Dwight D. Eisenhower tonight challenged President Truman’s version of the GOP program on federal aid tp education by presenting to Southern Californians a broad social program which included federal aid to “states” for school construction.
The Republican presidential nominee, in a speech at the Pan-Pacific auditorium, also suggested that his administration, if he is eletced, should “explore” the possibility of federal loans to local private health insurance systems in lieu of a Truman-backed plan for national federal health insurance.
Ike Takes Aim
Without referring to the whistle-stopping president' by name Eisenhower took direct issue with Mr. Truman’s statement at Jefferson City, Mo., yesterday, that the Republicans wanted “no federal aid of any kind to help finance good schools.”
'This is an attitude,” Mr. Truman said, “which would condemn many of this country’s children to poor education or none at all— (Continued on Page 4)

Trojans Tackle Tays Tars Tonight
r\
JESS HILL another swipe
by Fred Neil Daily Trojan Sports Editor
The undefeated Trojans take another swipe at Uncle Sam tonight when they tangle with Cmdr. Tay Brown’s NTS Bluejackets in the Coliseum.
Actually Troy will get a double dose of naval maneuvers as Coach Jesse Mortensen will unveil the “greatest Trobabe team in years” in the preliminary vs. the Pacific Fleet Amphibs from San Diego at 5:30 p.m.
Varsity kickoff is scheduled for 8:30.
One thing about the Trojans—they play no favorites. They walloped the Army last week and they intend to do everything possible toward the same objective against the boys in blue tonight.
They would no doubt feel the same about the the Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, and/or the 43rd Mess Kit Repair Battalion, were they thrown onto a football field with them.
Jess‘Hill's charges have a tougher row to hoe this evening, however, than they had last week. They fon’t be facing a bunch of beardless youths who had to strain, with a couple of exceptions, to register 190 on the scales.
This Navy team has weight, depth, experience, and
blood in its eye. The Tars will be out to dispel the memory of last year’s game when they “stunk up the joint” while being torpedoed 41-7 by the Trojans, and they won’t rely on clorophyll to do the job.
Pregame figuring last year, just as today, had the game pegged as a toss-up, but the Sailors couldn’t do anything right.
They think things will be different this year and here are some of the reasons.
Dave “Tiger” Parrish, 6 feet, 5 inches, 240 pounds; Ivan Kaminski, 6 feet 5 inches, 260 pounds; Don Eldert, 214 pounds; Bill Ward, 225 pounds; and Ben Lardzibal, 221.
This is the five-man defensive line that Brown will field against a Trojan offense that has been somewhat less than spectacular against guys half that size.
Rounding out the Navy guard corps will be Warner Escher and and Bert Tibbs, ex-UCLA, and George Pel-onis, linebackers in the 5-3-3; and Earl Stelle, Bob Boyd, and Verle Lillywhite, in the backfield.
That last trio, incidentally, could very well be the best deep defensive unit playing football today.
(Continued on Pag* 4)
Don Davis and Jack Fornfey are the freshman presidential candidates. Linda Ruddy and Gretchen Dockweiler are running for freshman vice-president.
Good Turnout Elections Commissioner Jim Lucostic expressed surprise at the fact that more freshmen voted in the run-off yesterday with four candidates running than voted Monday when there were
11	candidates. He said he was pleased by the unusually good turnout.
“If as many vote tomorrow as voted today, it will be one of the biggest elections we have had for some time,” Lucostic said at poll-closing time yesterday.
In the preliminary election 232 freshmen voted Monday and 193 cast their ballots Tuesday.
Foreign student voting totaled 43 ballots yesterday, two less than were cast Monday and 10 more than Tuesday’s vote.
John Andrews, Iraq, and Sen-tinder Kumar Verma, India, are candidates for foreign students' representative. The winner in this race will represent SCs 350 international students on the ASSC Senate.
Reason for Runoff
The run-off elections were necessitated when no candidate received a majority in the regular elections Monday and Tuesday.
Andrews led Kumar in the initial international students vote, 31-27.
Davis received 115 votes and Forney 110 on Monday and Tuesday. Miss Ruddy led the vice-presidential candidates with 169, while her run-off opponent, Miss Dockweiler, polled 93.
The initial vote eliminated eight candidates.
Previous Offices Fomey held the offices of student body president and junior class president at Glendale high school.
At Mt. Carmel high school, Davis was vice-president of his senior class, editor of the school paper, and captain of the baseball team.
Miss Dockweiler is a graduate of Immaculate Heart high school where she was president of the Civics club and vice-president of the Girls’ Athletic association and French club.
Miss Ruddy was graduated from Pasadena-San Marino high school. She was social chairman of Girls’ league, president of her French class, and a member of the California Scholarship federation.
