Wampus Editor Snell Reveals Contest Prize ★ ★ ★★ ★★ Tis Free Dine and Dance
“Oh, you lucky person,” said Wampus Editor Perry Snell to no one in particular and everyone in general in reference to his latest circulation stunt.
Snell’s “lucky person” in question is the student who wins the current Wamp contest which will entitle him or her to dinner and dancing at the Hotel Ambassador’s Coconut Grove.
Full details can be obtained at the Wampus ticket desk located outside the Student Union. Finally Gets Honors Another Wampus first will be the unveiling of the long-lost Wampus cat. “The fefine will occupy the place of honor, namely the cover,” said Snell. “This, the original magazine mascot, has become somewhat more streamlined after his long absence from the public eye,”
The cover picture was drawn by Ralph Johnstone, associate professor of arts in the fine arts department. An entire page will be devoted to the cat’s own original style of humor.

“One must buy a copy,” added Snell, “if only to find out exactly what sort of humor appeals to a cat.”
Meanwhile, ticket sales have hit the 1000 mark, said Circula-
tion Manager Jim Paul, “a n d only 1500 tickets remain to be sold.”
“Twenty-five hundred Wampi will be printed said Paul, “and if the same number of tickets are sold, non-ticket holding customers will be out of luck.” Publication of Troy’s unpredictable humor magazine has been held up temporarily because of a new three-color art layout but the staff “hopes to have the Wampus on the streets by Nov. 10.” Why Go Anywhere? Advertising to appear in Warn pus will be styled in the humorous vein, said Advertising Manager Arnold Luster. “Why go halfway?” he asked.

Tarantino’s and Fisherman’s Grotto Number 9, two of the Wharf’s select restaurants, cater to those who desire an assortment cf seafood delicacies. They overlook the harbor and are recommended by Duncan Hines.

Three Historical Hills
Nob Hill, in days gone by, has the settlement of railroad barons and bonanza kings and now its many hotels and apartments bear the names of its former inhabitants.

Chest Drive Far Short Of Set Goal
The SC faculty and staff Community Chest drive ends tomorrow and only two-fifths of the $3750 goal has been realized, said co-chairman Donald M. Searcy, director of the extension division.
Only faculty and administrative officials and assistants are involved in the present drive with the all-out student campaign beginning in March, said Searcy.
Eighty per cent of the Chest’s proceeds are used to care for needy children in the • Los Angeles area, said Searcy in telling where a great part of the money is destined. The city-wide quota has been set at $1 million.
Contributions may be turned in at campus headquarters, 259 Administration building, or sent, through campus mail.
Serving with Searcy on the chest committee are Carl Hancey, co-chairman and dean of University College; Elton D. Phillips, business *”®~ager; and Pat Casey, budget director.

Males Evenly Divided The two candidates ran a close race among SC’s male population. Eisenhower led in the numerical count by 173 to 163. The Republican nominee shaded his Democratic rival among the men balloting by a percentage of 51 to 49.
Twenty voters, or 3.2 per cent 'if the total w'ould not commit themselves on a choice.
Vincent Haliinan, Independent Progressive Party nominee, received eight votes. Stuart Hamblen, the representative of the Prohibition party, was the choice of four voters. Sen. Richard Russell, state’s rights candidate frcm the deep South, also received four votes.
28th Street Mayor Four candidates received one vote apiece—Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Christian Nationalist nominee; Darlington Hocpes, who replaces Norman Thomas as the Socialist party standard bearer after 28 years; Sen. Estes Kefauver, unsuccessful campaigner for the Democratic nomination; and Ken Shanks, mayor of L'.Sth street.
Shanks, a late entry in the presidential race, is expected to make a strong showing among his fraternity constituents.
SC’s straw-vote preference for Eisenhower coincides exactly with the 57 per cent margin given the general in a national electicn-preference survey of colleges conducted recently by the Associated Collegiate Press.
Adlai’s Showing Better
Gov. Stevensons 37 per cent showing on the SC campus was better than his 33 per cent rating nationally. SC had fewgr undecided voters, but more who favored third-party candidates than the national survey reported.
The poll was open to students and faculty and to those who were not eligible to vote a* well as voters. It used a relatively non-scientific method of “random-sampling.” which, while not the most accurate method of polling, was the most practical to attempt in a short time.
