President Reveals Beautification Plan
Street Closing to Create Country Atmosphere on Down-Town Campus'
Plans for closing University avenue and planting it with grass were outlined yesterday by President Fred D. Fagg
Jr.
Beautification of the avenue is one project in a series aimed at creating a “country atmosphere on a down-town campus.”
Secure Approval
“Although it will be difficult to secure approval of the street closing from residents in the area, the biggest problem faced by the university is obtaining funds to landscape the paved area.” Dr. Fagg said.	_
He spoke informally at a luncheon meeting of faculty administrators and student leaders.
He said that contractors had put a $100,000 price tag on the job of tearing up the paved streets and planting prass. The area to be landscaped extends for four blocks through the middle of campus.
The street will be closed and chains erected to prevent automobile traffic from passing {hrough the campus even if funds are not immediately available for landscaping the area. Dr. Fagg said.
City Ordinance
At present the university is obtaining approval of the closing from residents who live a block to the east and a block to the west of the avenue. Persons living in this area must give their consent before the street can be closed.
A city ordinanec prohibits closing of streets when no other access to property is available and requires unanimous consent from residents in the area concerned.
The university owns all the property along the avenue. With the expiration of the College bookstore's lease on Dec. 31, the building which housed Vince's Wheel,
Campus cleaners, and the bookstore will be tom down. The corner will then be hedged and used as a parking lot.
A service station and barbershop opposite Founders hall may also be moved out in the near future.'
Student Help?
When the contractor's $100,000 bid was presented to -he university, Dr. Fagg said that he had considered the possibility of “volunteer student labor” to help with the job of beautification to save money.
. He was told, however, that inexperienced help would be unsatisfactory in a job where pneumatic hammers and skilled men were needed
Halftime Lights Set Troy First'
Another Trojan “first” will be recorded during halftime at tomorrow night’s Northwestern-SC football battle in the Coliseum.
The innovation is the use of flashlights in the card section. The flashlights are expected to show up better than the old match-lighting stunt.
SC's rooting section which was the first college unit to use card stunts, will stage the flashlight stunt immediately after the last card trick, said Knight Ken Wormhaudt, who is in charge of the “light” stunt.
The flashlights were donated to SC by the Western Manufacturing and Sales company and will be passed out along with the colored stunt cards at half-time.
As an added feature at halftime. Tommy Walker will lead the Trojan band in a medley of hit tunes, one for each year in which a different Big Ten team won the conference championship.
YW Partytime Planned After Wildcat Melee
Open house will be held again at the YWCA, tomorrow night after the game.
There’ll be dancing to the music of the Mahlon Clark Trio from 11 to 1. Clark will be featured with the alto tax and clarinet, Don Trenner at the piano, and Tommy Rundell as drummer.
Clark formerly played with Ray McKinley’s band and Artie Shaw’s combo, and is currently playing with Tommy Jones’ band. Trenner was formerly with Stan Kenton, and Rundell is now with Horace Heidt.
Tag Dances
Tag dances will be called agin this week to give new' students an opportunity to get acquainted, said Joan Field, ASSC vice-president.
Because of the unexpectedly large turnout of last week, the patio of the YWCA will be used for dancing. Student body members and guests are invited to attend.
Hostesses
Paula Moldenhauer and her committee will be the official hostesses.
Soft drinks and cookies will be the refreshments, said Joe Greenway, chairman.
Miss Field assures SC rooters of a YWCA open house after future home football games, because of the success of the first open house.
Trovet Book Sale Coes On
The sale of books of all types, sizes, shapes and subjects will continue at the Trovet bookmart in the Commons basement, for the rest of this week and next, Trovet president Phil Quinn said yesterday.	\ .
“The stock of books has swelled to more than 1500 volumes, but more books on certain subjects are needed,” Quinn said.
Students are given the opportunity to sell their used tetxs with the Trovets acting as “middleman.” If the organization sells the student’s book, a service charge of 10 cents is made. If the book isn’t sold, it is returned.
Quinn said that several books which are unobtainable at local bookstores might be found on the bookmart shelves.
New ..LAS Council Members Announced
Wampus Needs Ads To Survive
Wampus. SC's humor magazine, will go to press only if it receives $800 in advertising contracts. This was decided at yesterday’s meeting with students and faculty to discuss the finances of this year's Wampus.
If the advertising contracts are attained, the ASSC will permit the Wampus to be published and will also give the permission for the Wampus committee to use a class two budget which will render the magazine self-supporting.
If the Wampus still shows signs of suffering a loss after the $800 in contracts have been signed, the ASSC will then make arrangements for funds to be provided for the publication of the magazine.
Bcause of the increase in the sale of advert ising. Editor Perry 1 said that he feels confident at the WBmpus will show a profit and will not need to use school funds. ^
New' members of the LAS council were announced yesterday by LAS President Bob Carter. The council will hold its first meeting Monday at 2:15 p.m. in 204 FH.

BERYLE DUCCA . . . rally chairman
Rally to Cheer Trojan Squad Off to Hotel
A sendoff rally for the football team will be staged this afternoon at 4 on the Physical Education building steps.
'The rally is to show the team members that the student body is behind them 100 per cent,” said Beryle Ducca, general rally chairman.	'
Cheers and Music
“Al Gallion and his cheerlead-ing crew will be out there to lead a few yells and the band will give out with ‘Fight On’ and other peop songs,” Ducca said.
Ducca said an enthusiastic display by the student body would help send the team to their pregame hideout, the Miramar hotel in Santa Monica, in good spirits.
Second Rally
Today’s sendoff rally is the second of three which were planned for the Northwestern game. Yesterday a caravan of Troy rooters met the Northwestern players on their arrival at Los Angeles International airport, officially greeted them, presented them with California oranges, and conveyed them to the Coliseum where the team held a w'orkout.
Tomorrow at noon a final big rally will be held at noon in front of Bovard auditorium.
Johnny Grant Emcees
Johnny Grant, KMPC disc jockey who has appeared at several SC rallies in the past, will serve as master of ceremonies. Members of the coaching staffs of both Northwestern and SC will appear and talk briefly about the game.
New Yells
Gallion and his fellow cheerleaders plan to introduce some new yells at tomorrow’s rally. The yells will be used at the Northwestern game.
The Trojan varsity band will also appear at tomorrow’s rally.
Seat Saving Hit by AMS
Reserving of seats at football games was the main topic discussed at yesterday’s AMS cabinet meeting.
“We are asking Trojan Knights that they allow fraternity men to save seats only till an hour before game time,” said George Gonzales, AMS president.
Purpose of the meeting was to line up semester’s activities for campus men’s groups. Gonzales said he wanted to make sure there were no duplications of activities between groups.
Other AMS cabinet members are John Witt, vice-presicfent; Herb Burnstein, secretary-treasurer; Jim Cooke, Knights president; Clark Rogers, YMCA president; Phil Quinn, Trovets president; Nick Apple, Alpha Phi Omega; George Gottesman, IFC president; Ken Flower, Letter-man’s club president; and Wendell Casey, ASSC president.

Dr. Garver,
SC Historian/ Dies at 77
Dr. Frank Harmon Garver, professor of history at SC for 19 years until his retirement in 1945, died early yesterday from a heart attack suffered at his home.
In poor health for several years, Dr. Garver had been writing a series of articles entitled “American Backgrounds" for the Los Angeles Times.
On Tuesday, the day before his death, he dictated an article on the historical precedents for the removal of a vice-presidential candidate during an election campaign.
U. 8. Historian
Dr. Garver, who was 77 when he died, was one of the West’s leading authorities on early United States history, particularly the colonial and revolutionary periods.
He formerly was president of the Pacific Coast branch of the American Historical association and was chairman of the SC history department for three years.
Associates of Dr. Garver are planning a memorial edition of his writings. The volume of his works is scheduled for publication this fall.
Dr. Garver graduated from Upper Iowa university in 1898 and received his master’s and doctor’s degrees in 1907 and 1912, respectively, at the University of Iowa.
He taught at Montana State Normal college before joining the SC faculty in 1926.
Taught Caldwell
Dr. Russell L. Caldw’ell of the SC history department and one of Dr. Garver’s first students at Troy, pointed out yesterday that the rioted historian was avidly interested in world affairs up to the time of his death.
“Those who knew Dr. Garver well, knew he was a very human personality although outwardly he always was very serious and hard to approach,” Caldwell said. “The fact that he was working on the vice-presidential articles the day before his ceath shows his rabid interest in history both past and president.
Surviving Dr. Garver is his wife, Edna; and a daughter, Jeannette.
Rooters' Train

Pre-Came Class Cut May Be Ok'd
Senators last night whistled up steam for a special rooters’ train to the Stanford game that would shove off Friday morning, Nov. 7, and leave classes for that day standing on a siding.
“If enough students support the special roo ters’ train to Stanford, the university will cancel Friday classes before the northern trip,” Dean of Students Bernard L. Hyink
told the ASSC Senate.

Freshmen Women Out Of Homecoming Race
Almost half of the 90 candidates for homecoming attendants were disqualified today when Al Casten, contest chairman, said that the Homecoming Executive committee had voted not to allow freshmen women to compete.
Until this ruling, the freshman women had been allowed to enter the attendant’s division, but not the queen race since the home-
A-Ticket Sales Close for Term
Almost 200 students took advantage of the one-day reopening of activity book sales yesterday to purchase cards, but sales will not be reopened again this semester unless there is a heavy demand, Ticket Manager ohn Morley said.
With one-day purchase, sales hit 5370, including 643 spouse books, to show more than a 1500 increase over last year.
coming queen must have attended SC for one year.
Not Familiar
The reason for the change was that the executive committe believed that new coeds are not familiar enough with the university to represent it, Casten said.
“Beauty and personality are not the only aspects taken into consideration when judging queens and attendants,” Casten said.
“I am sorry that so many women are affected by this ruling, but they will have several years in which to compete,” he continued.
Two More
Two new applicants for the contest are Jackie Jones, Alpha Omicron Pi. and Kay Cantonwine Alpha Delta Pi.
The list of the disqualified women, expected to total more than 40, will be revealed tomorrow.
Friday is the deadline for applications. Eight by 10 pictures should be turned in to Dr. Alex Aloia’s office, 228 Student Union, when applying.
HUMAN CENTRIFUGE'
USAF Picks SC for Training
SC has been chosen as the first university in the nation to train 420 flight safety officers for the US Air Force during the next three years it was announced today by the USAF.
Because of SC’s past accomplishments in the fields of aviation, medicine, and psychology it has been selected to create and conduct this entirely new type of in-structiohal program.
SC is one of few campuses to have a “human centrifuge.” This “centrifuge” consists of a cockpit in which a pilot is whirled in circles while he attempts to handle airplane controls and obey commands given him by the operator of the machine.
$185,000 Contract
New' courses in engineering, education. physiology, psychology, accident prevention, and the instruction of flight and safety officers will be provided for by a $185,000 contract which was awarded SC last week.
Administrative director of the flight safety course will be Carl Hancey, dean of University college. His faculty includes Victor Martin and James Vernon, professors of aeronautical engineering; Louis Kaplan, specialist in educational methods, who will be coordinator; Nell Warren, aviation psychologist; and Dr. Paul Evans, aviation physiologist.
Classes will begin Jan. 19, 1953.
Each w'ill be limited to 20 USAF roll in seven classes for six weeks.
“If we prevent just one flying accident and save the life of just one pilot as a result of this program, the entire expenditure will be worthwhile,” said Capt. Smith W. Ames, liason officer. “Accidents are not inevitable, and an
aggressive accident prevention program is necessary to conserve American lives, dollars and combatreadiness.”
“Aircraft accidents not only waste lives and money, but they can also destroy the margin of technical superiority we possess.”
SAFETY DEVICE to be used in the U.S. Air Force's flight training program is SC's “human Centrifuge." showm above being tested by a pilot The centrifuge is one of the reasons why SC was chosen for the Air Force program.
Reasons for the university’s offer to cancel classes the day before the game so that students take the train is that hazardous nighttime automobile traffic north will be cut down. The practice of skipping classes without official sanction before the game also would be eliminated. The low cost of the train will make it possible for more students to go, the dean said.
Save Money
Cost for the round trip, including tax will be $17.60—$2 cheaper than the fare on the rooters’ special last year. The Southern Pacific special would leave Los Angeles at 8:16 a.m., arriving at Stanford at 6 p.m. and San Francisco at 7 p.m. The train would leave San Francisco Sunday morning following the game, either at 8:16 or at 10:30. , Transportation from San Francisco to Palo Alto via commuters’ train would be $1.60 for a round trip. If busses were chartered, the cost would be 75 cents per person.
“If students do not support the train, the university will probably withdraw its offer to cancel Friday clases,” Dean Hyink said.
He emphasized the fact that last year one student was killed and another was injured en route to the California game by car.
No Accidents “The university is greatly concerned with the safety of its students and wants to see that Trojans journey to the game without accidents,” Dean Hyink said.
Senators yoted down a motion that would have set up a committee to inquire into the dismissal of a former drama lecturer, Mrs. Janet Stevenson.	,
In earlier action, the Senate approved reports of the Board of Finanical Control and Orientation committee, two presidential appointments, and recognized two political student groups.
Money Report Chairman Ron Bartholomew gave a report of the student-fac-ulty Financial Board of Control listing the allocations of ASSC money to the councils, schools, classes and special funds with the ASSC. His report was unanimously accepted after a short discussion on the principles by which the money was allocated.
The report also included the finanical board’s action in giving the Wampus magazine the go-ahead signal to publish as soon as it had signed commitments for $800 in advertising. The initial issue cost of the Wampus was estimated at $1200. Editor Perry Snell expects further advertising and sales to make the magazine a self-supporting venture.
