No Trojan Horses—At Least None of the Four Legged Kind
Ten-year-old Phyllis Ann Wilson of Pigeon Run road. Rural Route 1, Massillon, Ohio, wrote the University of Southern California last week for a pony.
* SC, mythical home of the Trojan horse, said it was sorry, but it just didn’t have any colts on the campus to send her.
Of course, the sports writers talk about the Trojan football team having “horses,” but these are of the two-legged human variety who prance back and forth on the gridiron, the university explained to Phyllis.
Phyllis addressed her letter to the Department of Philosophy at SC. This puzzled the professors until they philosophized that maybe she thought a filly would be stabled in the “fillvosophy” department or that SC taught “philhorseophy.”
“I’ve been wanting a horse or pony in five years,” Phyllis wrote. “I use to live in the city. But now I live in the country. I have rabbits, dogs, and pigs. I have a Big Barn to. I have a nice place to keep a pony or horse. I have oats and other things for a horse or pony. I want one so I can go to the store for Mother.
“Would you please send me one. Most of the kids in our neighborhood have one. You could send it by train ,or truck. You come out Tremont and turn on Seventh irt. There is a Gulf filling station and a store. Then go strait till you see a sign Pigeon Run. Turn to the right and keep on going till you see a mail box with the name John Indorf. I live right side of him.”
er a combined AWS-AMS mixer dance will be held at the YWCA, Ed Floyd and his four piece combo providing the music. Refreshments will be served at the dance.
Coach Mortenson will introduce the Olympic athletes and each will tell a few of his experiences while competing abroad. Olympic Stars Jack Davis, Sim Iness, Parry O’Brien, John McCormack, Allen Gilchrist, and Art Barnard will attend the smoker.
Answers to student problems will be offered by Dr. Hyink, Dr. Aloia, and Dr. Zech. The three campus leaders will also attempt to look into the future with the new students, giving them a look at what awaits them in their first year at- SC.
Campus Representatives
Leading officers of campus organizations will give the new Trojans an idea of what their various groups are doing at SC. Representatives of the Trojan Knights, Squires, Interfraternity Council, YMCA, Trovets, and Alpha Phi Omega will be in attendance.
The screening or last year’s Washington game will bring back to the memories of old Trojans, SCs upset victory over the Huskies in Seattle.
“I promise an outstanding evening for all students, new or old, who attend the smoker Wednesday night,” said George Gonzales, AMS president, who with Ernie Schag, AMS orientation chairman, and John Witt, AMS vice-presi-dent, has planned the program.
“It won’t be long and drawn out,” said Gonzales, “because we must be through in time for the dance which starts at 9.”
Members of the Trojan Knights, Squires, and Alpha Phi Omega will act as ushers for the evening.
LATEST IN SERIES of new campus buildings is SC's million-dollar dentistry building, which is shown above as it will look when totally completed. Full use of the
dental clinic, which will accommodate 200 students and 12,000 patient visitors yearly will begin at the start of classes today.
Million-Dollar Dental Clinic Completes Three-Year Plan
Described as one of the most complete dental clinics in Los Angeles, SC’s new dental building is the last structure to be erected under a $10 million, thrree-year building program.
Located on 34th street between Hoover and McClintock streets the clinic is now ready for occupation. Actual construction on the building was finished in June with dental students making use of its spic-and-span facilities during the summer session.
Million Dollars Costs for the building and
Football Band Seeks Musicians
All students who play instruments are urged by Football Band Director Tommy Walker to report to the Band and Orchestra building at 902 West 37th Place today to sign up for the Trojan football band.
Walker stressed the fact that freshmen are eligible to play in the band. He asked all those interested to report today due to the short time left before the opening game Friday.
Trojane House Party Slated For Weekend
The Trojane House P^rty for new women students is scheduled Saturday and Sunday, co-chairmen Anne DeFreece and Mimi Shepherd, announced yesterday.
With the aim of acquainting new freshmen and transfer women students with one another, the Trojane House Party will again take place in Griffith Park’s Hol-iywoodland Camp.
Greater Crowd
“We expect an even greater crowd than last year,” Miss DeFreece said. More than 130 attended last fall.
Cost of the two-day trip is $6, which includes the price of three meals, sleeping accommodations, and transportation.
Most women have received registration blanks and brochures in the mail. Additional registration blanks may be obtained at the YWCA, Hoover St. and 36th PI. The $6 fee may be mailed to the “YW”.
Buses will leave the YWCA at 12:30 p.m. Saturday and return about Sunday noon.
Wonderful Chance
“This is a wonderful chance for the new women students to meet outstanding student and faculty leaders,” Miss DeFreece said. “They may also learn the college songs and traditions,” she said.
The event is sponsored by the AWS and YWCA and is held at the beginning of each fall semester.
equipment ran over a million dollars.
This semester, with the clinic in full use, 200 dental students will be able to service 12,000 students yearly. Dr. Alan C. Prather, associate clinical professor of oral diagnosis, made the statement that it is one of the most complete clinics in Los Angeles. Its modern equipment enables every type of dental ailment to be handled.
Built over an enormous basement, the long one-story building contains laboratories, offices, lecture rooms, a library, a dental student store, and a lounge.
Bizarre Sight
A somewhat bizarre sight is afforded one who looks into the two clinical rooms through the great long windows in the building’s front at the seemingly en-less rows of dental chairs with their jointed, spider-like drills and lamps surrounding them. One of the rooms has 72 chairs and the other contains 63.
Most of the dental work done within the clinic is by students under the supervision of their professors. Any person, whether he is a student or not, may take advantage of the reduced prices charged for dental work in the clinic.
Specialists
Besides the students many practicing dentists study there and assist in the teaching of specialized fields. A large portion of the cost of the dental building was provided by these and other local dentists whose offices and clinics are over-crowded with patients.
Dr. Francis Conley directs operations within the clinic under Dr. Robert W. McNulty, dean of the School of Dentistry.
Other buildings completed during the three-year program are Founders hall, Commons, YWCA, thfe Medical center, and EVK and University hall, the new Women’s residences.

Card Section Seats On First Come Basis
First come, first served.
"There are only 1728 seats in the coliseum card section, and students had better arrive there extra early if they want to take part in this Friday’s game, said Trojan Knight President Jim Cooke. Gates open at 6:30 p.m.
With the Washington State Cougars rated to give Troy a good •crap, a capacity crowd is expected.
Rooters in the card section are required to wear white shirts and rooters’ caps and are admitted by student body activity cards only.
Not Difficult
“There’s nothing difficult about performing these card stunts,” Cooke explained for the benefit of new students, “Each seat is provided with an instruction card.”
The tough part, he said, is in the designing of each stunt. Traditionally, the job is handled by the Knights, and this year the card stunts will be created by Ken Wormhoundt. Two fellow Knight assistants are Bill Hertel and John Rinaldi.
Half-time stunts for Friday night’s game include:
1) American Hag, 2) 1952-opener, 3) Football Player, 4) Hi Cougars, 5) Cougar Head, 6) Tic-Tack-Toe, 7) SC in Gold then Red, 8) Jess, 9) Troy War Flag, and 10) Geo. Jr.
