Street Dance To Follow Army Came

The plan evolved as a result of the successes in the two postgame open houses held so far this year. Miss Field said.

Army Gridders To Be Greeted By SC Rooters

More than 20 cars joined the caravan to the airport to welcome the Wildcat gridders. They were both surprised and pleased at the welcome, said Graves.
“The cheer leaders and some band members will accompany the caravan,” Graves said, “and we’ll have a crate of oranges to present to the Army team on their arrival.”
The Cadets are due to reach the airport at 5 p.m. tomorrow.

’DEM’ BUMS ARE REAL BUMS
Baseball Experts Pick Series Winner
by Fred Neil
The “greatest show on earth.” athletically speaking, opens today at Ebbetts Field, hard by the banks of the Gowanus canal.
King Football will yield the •potlight to the Great American past time for the next few days while the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees battle it out in the 1952 World Series.
Much like Diogenes, this reporter went on a quest yesterday, out fmong the coaches, administration. faculty, and athletes, to get their views on who they think will win the World’s baseball championship.
Here they are:
Fred D. Fagg Jr., President: I hope the Dodgers can take that bunch from across the river, but they have a tough row to hoe.
Bernard L. Hyink. Dean of Students: The Yankees for no better reason than that they are the Yankees and have the Yankee spirit. Spirit is very important in the World Series.
The Yankee* .
Albert F. Zech, counselor of men: I have always been a Yankee fan since the days of Babe Ruth, who was my boyhood idol. I don't like to see the Yankees
dominate the game but I can’t pick against them.
Willis O. Hunter, director of athletics: Based on previous performances I have to pick the Yanks. After all they’re still the champs.
Jess Hill, varsity football coach: The Yanks for two reasons —1) they have the better ball club, and 2) they are definitely a come-through ball club with the ability to rise to the occasion when an occasion presents itself.
More Yankees
Parry O’Brien, Olympic shot-put champ: I'm not much of an authority but it’s always a good idea to stick with the champs. The Yanks.
Forrest Twogood. varsity basketball coach: Yanks in six games. Becausc they have stronger pitching and because they’re the Yankees.”
Jesse Mortensen, varsity track, frosh football coach: I’ve been a Yankee supporter since Jess (Hill) played with them. Too, I always stick with the champs until beaten, because the pressure is always cn their opponents. The Yanks have poise and, getting down to brass tacks, they have the pitching.
Mel Hein, varsity line coach: I
always pick the Yanks and I can see no reason to change now. They’ll win in about six games.
Joe Muha. varsity backfield coach: It looks like Brooklyn to me but don’t ask me why.
Ed Pucci, varsity football: The Yankees, who else? In about six games.
Ken Flower, varsity basketball captain: The Yanks. They always come through in the clutch. Besides they wear pin-stripe uniforms.
Still the Yankees
Al Lamont, varsity baseball: Yanks on pitching in about five games.
H. D. Thoreau. director, athletic news service: Dodgers' superior hitting will offset Yanks’ superior pitching. I think the Yanks’ alleged jinx is about due to be revealed as a myth.
Dick Bank, ass't. director, athletic news service: I like the Dodgers because I’m from the South and we southerners have no.use for the damyankees.
Ed Demirjian, varsity football: The Yankees. They’re great in the clutch.
Jim Sears, varsity football: I'm a Yankee man. Nuf sed.
Bill Riddle, varsity football: The Yankees. Why? Because
they’re a better ball club, naturally.
Yep. the Yankees
H a 1 Charnofsky, co-captain, varsity, baseball: I can’t pick against the Yanks. I think they’ll win it about 4-2.
Stan Charnofsky, co-captain, varsity baseball: Me too.
Dave Kahn. Student Union maintenance man: The Yanks will get a surprise this year. Brooklyn may win four straight.
Arthur R. Kooker, associate professor of history: I have to go along with the Yankees mainly because they ARE the Yankees.
Albert Carr, graduate student in history: The Yankees. Winning is a habit with them and a habit is hard to break

City, Counties Agencies Join in Simulated Test
Joining forces with city and county defense agencies SC will participate in the simulated defense disaster test to be held tomorrow or Friday, it was announced yesterday by Robert E. Vivian, dean of the School of Engineering, the chairman of the University committee on Civilian Defense. The public participation test,
which will highlight activities for Civil Defense week, Sept. 28 through Oct. 4, will occur at any time during the two-day period. Dean Vivian said. In order to present an element of surprise, no exact time for the test has been announced.
“The drill was formulated as part of a defense preparedness program which is attempting to acquaint Los Angeles county residents with the proper steps to be taken during an actual disaster,” Dean Vivian explained. “The administration, therefore, encourages all students to follow the instructions of • faculty members if the drill occurs during class sessions.”
Red Alert
“A t h r e e-minute warbling sound giving the “red” alert will indicate that the drill has begun. At the conclusion of the test, a one minute steady ill-clear signal will be given.”
“Because of the proximity of a civil defense siren atop the fire station on Jefferson boulevard, all students in the general area of SC will undoubtedly hear the “red” and “white” alerts when they are sounded, “Dean Vivian said.
Main objectives of the drill will be to test the effectiveness of the Attack Warning system, the mobilization of Civil Defense personnel, and the operation of control centers throughout the city and county.
Local Plan
The university committee cm Civilian Defense has also organized its own localized disaster plan to be used in the event of enemy attack or other disaster, Dean Vivian reported. Bernard L. Hyink, dean of students, is vice-chairman of the university committee.
Working in close cooperation with the Los Angeles City office of Civil Defense shortly after its conception in 1951, SC has also established its own control center. This centralized center will provide communications to integrate campus activities and to call k£y personnel.
Emergency
A thorough survey of all campus buildings to test their effectiveness against bombings and other disasters has also been made. These * campus buildings have been clarified according to their ability of withstanding all types of bombings and earthquakes, Dean Vivian said.

The committee w^as unable to choose a third yell ’ leader and will conduct try-outs for this position again Friday at 2 p.m. in 232 SU.
If the three-minute warbling alert signal is sounded during class sessions, the following instructions will apply for the Public Participation Drill and all other disaster alerts:

2.	Until the type of emergency has been discovered, all should remain in the classroom and keep below the window l^v-el, If possible.
3.	Evacuation of the building should be undertaken only as a last resort.
4.	Classroom instructors and designated officials will be responsible for maintaining order.
5.	Pedestrians on the street should seek shelter. Automobiles on streets and highways pull to curb or off-street parking to permit emergency vehicle* to pass as necessary. Autos and buses should not disembark passengers—remain until “white” alert (all-clear) sounds.

Members Still Needed for Football Band
In spite of the effort to strengthen the ranks, SC’s football band seems to be losing members faster than they can be signed up. Tommy Walker, band director, has announced that two members of the already small trumpet section are ill and will not be able to perform at the Army game Saturday.
Two Out “We can easily handle 30 trumpet players in the band,” said Walker,” but with two fellows out we will only have 12.
Walker feels the burden on the band will be increased Saturday since they meet their first competition of the season against Army.
The Sixth Army band and a bagpipe band will perform. The Camp Roberts drill team and a WAC drill team will also march. Second Best "We don’t want to come out second best even to Army,” Walker said, “however, our lack of manpower is really going to hurt us.” He said that he could use more men on almost any instrument, but that his need for trumpets was drastic.
“I wish we could kindle a little spirit and get some of these musicians to come out,” he said. “We definitely don’t want to bring in outsiders to play in the band, yet we need rrembers.”
He said that the lack of men would also hamper the half-time marching stunts.
