For many years he paid taxes on the seemingly worthless land and had tried to sell it several times for the amount he had put into it.
“I figured that I had spent $900 on that property and so that was my selling price,” said Reis. “However, no one would give more than $500 for it. so I kept it.”

“The reason that the land was never farmed is because the gas seeped up through the earth and killed all vegetation” se said.
Reis, who has never even been in Oklahoma, said That he gave $5 to all his faculty friends in the building because “they all treat me as if I was part of the faculty instead of just a janitor.” He said he felt that everyone in the building is his personal friend.

When he retires the first of next year, Reis is planning to buy a home with a double garage, so that he can fix up a woodworking shop. He is planning to buy some electrical equipment and then he says, “I can work when I feel like it.”
When he was asked how his wife felt about the good fortune, he smiled broadly, “She feels pretty good, but she is not the type to get excited,” he said.

“Junior Playroom.” KUSC’s popular children’s program, will begin a new series of programs Monday, Elaine Roth, program director, said yesterday.
The 15-minute program will be broadcast Monday through Friday at 5:45 p.m.
Miss Roth and a staff of five eoeds will present entertainment designed for an audience age group from five to nine t years. Each day the program will have different entertainment, including fairy tales, ad-j venture stories, and music.
The “Playroom," which has been a regular part of KUSC programming for two years, is one of three children's programs in this area that has been recommended on a poll of local radio stations.
Miss Roth said she hopes to have a half-hour program Saturday, which will drama tire popular fairy tales.

I Will Appear Later/ Willie Wampus Purrs
The Wampus cat, an animal with an evolution even Darwin couldn’t explain, yesterday announced his magazine will be a little tardy in its appearance.
Speaking through his interpreter, Wampus editor Perry Snell, the cat explained that the special process used in making the magazine three colors throughout and new techniques to improve the
publication had slowed down the printing process.
Therefore the Wampus cam-^ pus humor magazine will not appear Monday as scheduled but Monday, Nov. 10.
“We just didn’t anticipate it would take so long,” the feline purred.
When the first Wampus magazine came to SC in January 1919 it was called the “Kampus Wit.” The first letters of the words were switched for the second issue in December, however, and the name became Wampus Kit.
The Kit retained its name and shape until 1946 when it became Willie the Wampus bird.
Last year Allen A. Arthur took the Wampus out of the “for the birds” classification by introducing the cat as the Wampus mascot.
Advance ticket sales will continue throughout next week, Jim Paul, circulation manager, announced yesterday.
“If you don’t get an advance ticket very soon, you won’t be able to obtain a magazine because sales are very high,” Paul said.

Air Force Leads Navy In Blood Drive Pledges
Topping the entire NROTC donation pledges by at least 18, early tabulations from SC’s Red Cross Blood Drive booth indicate that the AROTC has surged ahead with the 100 per cent sign-ups of their freshman class.
“There are 178 members in n;y freshman class,” said Maj. Fred E. Smith, assistant professor ot air science and tactics, “and the few who could not volunteer have promised to provide a substitute.” The NROTC increased total sign-ups by 165 earlier this week.

One trophy is awarded to a campus service group and the other two are awarded to men’s and women’s campus living groups. The AROTC, Pi Phis, and Acacias were last pring’s winners.
“Although it is desired that campus groups donate as much as possible, joining the Honor Roll does not require members to pledge 100 per cent, Miss Merriam said.

Another group joining the Honor Roll and pledging 100 per cent is Alpha Kappa Psi, national commerce fraternity. This brings the total to 37 organizations which have pledged active support to the campaign.
Individual sign-ups are being taken today and next week at a booth near Bovard auditorium, on University avenue.

. Election	Eallot
ALBERT ZECH , . gives reminder
by Chuck Sweet Daily Trojan Editor
Today is election day at Troy to see if Dwight Elsenhower or Adlai Stevenson has captured the support of students and faculty members. The Daily Trojan is conducting the unofficial straw vote on presidential preferences. The ballot appears next to this stOry and should be clipped, filled out, and placed in DT boxes by 5 this afternoon. Ballots will be received at Student Union and Founders hall, as well as in the DT office,
432 SU.
Results of the one-day poll will be published Monday, the day before student and faculty voters actually go to the polls.
In a national survey of student opinion recently conducted by the Associated Collegiate press, Eisenhower received 57 per cent of the votes of college students.
Stevenson was the choice of 33 per cent. Nine per cent were undecided, and 1 per cent indicated a choice for a third-party candidate.
The American Collegiate press poll gave no indication of how many students and which colleges were represented in the survey.
SC was not included in this straw vote.
Heated Debates
On college campuses and in college newspapers the debate has been heated. In a national survey,
Eisenhower appears to have gained the popular vote of the mass of students, while Stevenson has captured the intellectual imagination of youth.
In poll results tabulated from exchange newspapers received in the Daily Trojan office, Ike has been running ahead. On the other hand, students around the nation seem to believe that Adlai has been waging the most informative and stimulating campaign.
Adlai Liked
Three influential college newspapers have indicated their preferences in recent weeks. The Columbian Spectator, daily newspaper for Columbia college (a division of Columbia university, of which Eisenhower is president on leave of absence) has come out strongly for Stevenson. Harvard’s Crimson also backs Adlai.
The Daily Princetonian is supporting Eisenhower. Three decades ago the words “Adlai E.
Stevenson, managing editor” appeared on the paper’s masthead.
Ike Draws Favor
In the south, the Mississippi State College Reflector says it likes Ike too. On the other side of the fence, students at the University of Alabama indicated a preference for Gov. Stevenson in a recent straw vote. Stevenson polled 568 against Eisenhower’s 481. ,
At Syracuse university, the
Exam Blanks For Draft Due
Students who want to take the selective sendee qualification test, Dec. 4, must pick up and fill 'out their applications by tomorrow, Dr. Albert F. Zech, counselor of men, announced yesterday.
“Blanks must be procured from a draft board,” Dr. Zech emphasized.
The counselor said that all draft-eligible students should take the test sometime this year if they already haven't, because “the draft board may begin drafting college men.”
15 Units Required.
A student must be taking at least 15 units and have not taken the exam before to be eligible for testing.
A test score of 70 is passing for undergraduates. Graduate students must make 75.
At present, students are being deferred according to their class scholastic standings. Freshmen in the upper half, sophomores in the upper two-thirds, and juniors in the upper three-fourths are all being deferred whether they have taken the test or not.

In the Lone-Star State, Baylor University students, especially coeds, favor Ike for president.

The quality of juvenile officers is more important that the quantity.
That is the motto of the SC Delinquency Control Institute— the only one in the nation—which trains officers in juvenile delinquency prevention.
“The Institute offers a specialized training program designed to prepare law enforcement officers and others in related fields to w'ork most effectively with youths who have problems,” said Dan G. Pursuit, Director.

word for word.
The SC professors signed the telegram as private citizens and did not use their university titles.
Fourteen representatives of various police departments on scholarship, are enrolled as students in the juvenile training pro-
gram. Tliey come from scattered parts of the U. S. and its territories.
The students are taking a 12-week course which covers delinquency prevention, social treatment, coordinated programs with civic groups, administration of police juvenile problems, public speaking, growth and change, and legal aspects. Weekly field trips are made agencies and institutions in the area. T.velve units of credit are given.
Practical Teartiers
Lawyers, law enforcement officers, .professors, and correctional leaders, who have practical experience in the field of delinquency teach the course.
One of the students, Hector Ramos Yordan, is in charge of the Puerto Rican police athlectic league.
“I am supposed to work five days a week, but I work seven
because I like children, I don’t have much trouble with them,” he said.
When asked what he thought of the SC Institute, Jordan said, that he is learning a lot. “Never in my life have I seen what we learn here. The Institute deals with the courses I feel will help me with my work in Puerto Rico.”
Yordan also pointed out that there are no schools for juvenile delinquency control in Puerto Rico.
“I want to, learn about the school problem because the juvenile police department knows nothing about the boy in school,” he added.
Woman Sergeant
Edna Trout Michener, a sergeant in the Women's Protective division of the Portland Police department, is interested in the development of youngsters.
“I think the Institute is doing
an excellent job in training juvenile officers. It’s something that has been needed for a long time,” said Mrs. Michener.
“The courses prepare us to set up a juvenile program and to improve upon it if one already is set up. The courses also enable us to work better with other community facilities.”
Basic Causes “One basic thing we are learning is the Causes of juvehile delinquency, since it is only by learning them that we, can work out an effective treatment.”
“If the youngster needs counseling and supervision after he is apprehended, it is our job to refer him to the place where he will get it. Only in severe cases would the delinquent be required to go to an institution,” Mrs. Michener said.
She also said that the police are (Continued on Page 4)
