DT Scoreboard Going North
Latest Results Posted From UP Wire Service For Campus Information
Cries of “Who’s ahead now?; I like Ike;’’ and “Gladly for Adlai,’’ were neard late yesterday afternoon from the crowd gathered around the Daily Trojan election scoreboard in front of the Student Union.
Comments from students and faculty on the scoreboard, which was kept up to date v/itti flashes from the UP wire service, ran from "Its great,” by Barbara Hines, to "All it does is agitate everyone,” by Wayne Case.
Good Idea “It’s a good idea,” for letting students find out how their candidate is coming along, Alma Raleigh said. “But it should be larger and higher so people can read it without crowding,** Ralph Frank added.
The general consensus was that the scoreboard was a “real good ea.” “But,” said Ann Fant, peek-g out of a small gathering of friends, “y’all should have something up there about lii ol’ Mississippi.”
Thinking along more serious ines, George Gonzales said that t g&ve students a “broad picture j politics in the U. S.” and it that “even the smallest cities contain people interested in he welfare of their country . . . the greatest display of democracy n our times.”
Today Too At least one faculty member greed with the students’ opinions n the scoreboard. Norman Fertig, ^cturer in international relations, thought it was “good enough an dea and I hope the Daily Trojan ntinues it tomorrow (Wednes-.') if the vote is close enough in ome states to delay the results.” Mary Coate, who evidently idn’t get a chance to listen to the adio yesterday evening, liked it ecause it “informs the students f the election results when they n’t hear them on the radio or atch them on TV.”
Clippings on the scoreboard ere changed periodically during he evening as the DT staff stayed p “till the wee hours” awaiting he final results.

UCLA Grid Ducats In GreatDemand
Heralded as “an unprecedented demand” for game tickets, ducat sales for the SC-UCLA grid ti-tantic are reaching record-break-ing proportions, according to Mrs. Rowe Baldwin, UCLA ticket man-I ager.
“In my 10 years as ticket manager at Westwood, I have never witnessed'such a demand for game
tickets,” Mrs. Baldwin reported. “Over 1000 tickets were sold at our campus office on Monday to easily shatter the former one-day record.”
Early Rush
“Since this office first opened its doors at 8:30 a.m. Monday morning, we have had an unpr-eedented demand for tickets. It appears, that even though the game is to be televised nationally, local sport fans have the desire to be at a game of this high caliber in order to be part of its color.”
Mrs. Baldwin estimated that there are still approximately 15.000 tickets available for the Nov. 22 classic.
Trojan students, who will be honored as the visiting school by the hosting Uclans, haye also showed marked enthusiasm in ticket sales, according to John Morley, SC ticket manager.
Great Demand “We are unable to keep up with the demand for game tickets,” Morley said. “As fast as the tickets are received from the UCLA office, they are rapidly sold. In most cases, we have sold our day’s supply early in the morning.” Activity ticket holders have also showed inspired response in picking up their exchange rooters’ tickets. Morely reported.
SC Helped Me/ New VP Tells DT
By Dave Feigenbaum
Thousands of delirious well-wishers greeted newly elected Vice-President Richard M. Nixon at the Ambassador hotel late last evening as he made a brief acceptance speech.
The California senator was mobbed as he emerged from the elevator that brought him down to the main lobby of
the fashionable hotel.
The new vice-president was ushered before the television cameras that carried his brief talk to millions of people or the United States who some 10 hours earlier elected him to the second highest office in the land.
Weajry but smiling Nixon said, “I thank all of you for this vote of confidence. I am quite sure that there is nothing 160,000,000 Americans, banded together, cannot do.”
Nixon appeared before the cameras with his pretty wife Pat. Mrs. Nixon attended SC some years back.
This reporter cornered the new vice-president as he emerged from his television appearance. When asked if he thought the young people of America might have aided him considerably in quest of his high office he said, “There is no doubt about it. The youth of America wanted a change. They have known nothing but Democratic administrators.”
Nixon referred to the young Republicans group at SC as a fine example of what the university students in the U.S. can do. “I have heard from members of my staff and through personal experience of the fine things the Young Republican group at SC has done. They have crusaded long and hard for our cause. I am sure the results of General Eisenhower’s and my own victory is reward enough to them.
Nixon came down to the lobby of the hotel shortly after Gen. Eisenhower delivered his acceptance speech in New York. Hotel informants said he watched the General’s speech from a television set in his room.
After his brief speech before tfye television cameras Nixon was shuffled over to the newsreels. He made a brief talk once again and then retired to the Republican party’s headquarters in the Alexandria hotel in downtown L.A.
The vice-president’s aides said that Nixon would take a brief vacation now' that the campaign is over and then plunge right back into his “crusade.”

Indian Trip Card Capers Described
Eleven card stunts, planned for the Stanford game, have the Knights and Squires busily preparing last minute instruction slips for the half-time program.
Planning for the stunts in Palo Alto is more complicated because the SC rooting-section is going to be 48 rows across and 36 rows high, Knight President Jim Cooke said. This means that the stunts must be planned for a horizontal card field rather than the usual vertical section in the Coliseum.
The half-time stunts will be highlighted by a four-part animated stunt of Tirebiter stealing the blanket off the scared Indian. SC will greet Stanford with a big. “How Injuns.”
American Flag
The first stunt will be an American flag. After the greetings, the rooters will form a brown Indian with a red feather.
They will picture a white block “S” on a red background and then reverse the colors. The last two stunts will be a gold Trojan sword and then the traditional SC spell-out.
Harry Ballard, owner of Ball-ards donut shop on campus, has volunteered to take the cards up to the game in his panel truck.
There will be no slots to hold the color slips in place, so Squires are going to pin them on the seats.

lection Day Highlights
by Wimpy Hiroto After listening to, reading of, and talking about politics, politicians. and policies, yesterday’s vote-casting was done with a of relief, a silent prayer, and a benignant experience.
After checking in at my Precinct 558 station and receiving a ballot, I was instructed to wait until one of the three voting booths was available.	,
Two-Ton
Six others, patiently waiting to cast their votes, were seated ln the somewhat crowded living room. The solemn silence was suddenly broken when a female version of “Two-Ton” Tony Gal-ento roared in. Viewing the sedate group with askance, she belligerently announced that she couldn’t wait more than five minutes to cast her vote.
The coordinator tried desperately to explain but was shrugged off with a vicious, •'I’ll wait then. cx#0rt!”
Although the waiting room was crowded, one Old Dnglish chair was unoccupied, and the buxom woman stomped (and I mean stomped) indignantly across the room to it and sat down . .. on the floor!
Only Three
The chair had but three legs and a notice to that effect was posted conspicuously on it.
After the “dust" had settled, the waiting list suddenly disintegrated and everyone, including; myself, graciously allowed the somewhat deflated woman to cast her vote first.
All were unanimous in agreeing that that was the wisest ove.
And as one amused s per tat or-voter casually remarked, “it’s good thing we cast our votes standing up.”
Featuring an Armistice Day theme, the 104-man Trojan football band will add its talents to halftime activities at the SC-Stanford game Saturday in alo Alto.
Under the direction of Tommy Walker, the band will take the field to the music of “This Is the Army, Mr. Jones.” A precision drill will be done to “Sound Off,” which will be followed by the outline of a bugle to the music of “Oh. How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning.”
A medley of World War I tunes will follow, and then the outline of a ship, which will “sail” down the field as the band plays “Over There,” will be formed.
The SC band will then honor all men in the armed services. It will form a big star while playing “My Buddy.”
As a salute to Stanford, the finale will find the Trojan band forming a giant tepee while playing “Come Join Our Band.”
Of the 104-men in the Trojan band, 70 are freshmen, according to Walker, who is engaged in his first year as director of the SC football band. Walker was an assistant director for the band prior to his present post, and has been long active in planning and conducting half time activities.

Staff Chest Drive Extended 10 Days
The deadline for the SC faculty-staff Community Chest drive has been extended 10 days, it w’as announced yesterday.
Co-chairman Donald M.. Searcy, director of the Extension division, said that the drive would be extended since the faculty and staff have not had sufficient time to contribute.
The faculty-staff collections will be turned over to the Los Angeles Community Chest fund for Chest charities in this area. Searcy said that the L. A. goal has been raised $1 million over last year.
Over 500,000 needy individuals, of which 80 per cent are children, will be benefited by 160 chest agencies, Searcy said.
“We know’ from experience in the past that a high percentage of our staff will contribute to the Chest,” Searcy said. “Up to yesterday contributions from only 15 per cent of the staff had been received. This amount provided only one-third of our quota.”
Gov. Stevenson In Basement
SPRINGFIELD, ILL., Nov. 4— (UP)—Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson received presidential election returns at the Illinois Governor’s mansion tonight and aides reported he w’as not discouraged by an early vote in favor of Dwight D. Eisenhower .
Campaign Manager Wilson Wyatt reported after a talk with Stevenson in.mid-evening that the Democratic nominee was not discouraged and added that he himself thought returns were “too fragmentary” to show a definite trend.
Stevenson, alone in his basement office, listened to returns on a small desk radio. Occasionally aides brought him reports from press association tickers set up in a nearby laundry room.
Wyatt said democrats were "particularly cheered by the showing” in the home county of South Carolina Gov. James F. Byrnes, who backed Eisenhower, although he conceded the Democrats were doing poorly so far in the state as a whole.

Soph Council Approves Budget
The Sophomore council approved a budget of S230 at a meeting in 102 FH yesterday.
Ed Johnson, treasurer, presented the budget which he said had to be met by council dues of $3 for the year. The council voted for dues of $1.50 per semester.
Charity Party Chairman Barbara Goode announced that the council would sponsor a Valentine party and an Easter party for underprivileged children. A Frosh-Soph brawl committee and the Dance committee will meet next Monday according te Fred Mitchell.
enhower 179,369 and Stevenson 161,132.
Most of the vote came from Los Angeles county, which accounts for two-fifths of the total registration in the state and which went Democratic in 1948 by a narrow margin.
Favored by ideal weather, an estimated 85 to 90 per cent of the 5,998,300 registered voters went to the polls.
L.A. Leads State
Los Angeles county, largest in the state and regarded as a key factor in determining whether Adlai E. Stevenson or Dwight D. Eisenhower gets 32 crucial electoral votes, reported an unprecedented turnout.
By 9 a.m. PST, 22.7 per cent of the eligibles in Los Angeles had voted compared with 12.5 per cent in 1948.
Highest previous statewide percentage record in voting in a California election was in the Roosevelt-Dewey contest in 1944 when 86.13 per cent of the registered voters went to the polls. That year, however, there were almost 2,000,000 fewer registered voters than in 1952.
Congressional Vote
In addition to the presidential contest, Californians were choosing 16 congressmen to go with 14 who clinched seats last June in the primary.
U.S. Sen. William F. Knowland, who captured both Republican and Democratic nominations in the primary, faced opposition today only from Independent Progressive Reuben W. Borough.
A lengthy list of 24 propositions were before the voters as well as contest-s for 19 State Assembly berths and two seats in the State Senate.
Control of the California congressional delegation was regarded as second in importance only to the race between Stevenson and Eisenhower. In the old California 23-seat delegation, Republicans held a 13-10 edge.
By virtue of its population gains in the past decade, California will have 30 seats in the new congrcss which convenes in January’. The primary election settled 14 seats with Republicans winning eight and Democrats six.
Principal interest in the ballot proposition centered on No. 3. A measure to extend tax exemptions to non-profit religious elementary t and secondary schools, particularly parchial schools and Proposition No. 13, which would abolish the state’s traditional cross-filing system.
Under cross-filing, any election setup unique in the nation, candidates in California primary election may enter their names on any party’s tickets as well as their own.
