Ticket Sales High For SC-Cal Tilt
More than 75,000 tickets have already been sold for the SC-Cali-fornia game Saturday.
Interest is running high and this should be the biggest crowd of the season, reported John Morley, ticket manager.
“If the reserved seat sale continues as it has for the past few days, we may not have any general admission tickets to go on sale Saturday,” he said.
Dance Ducats Not Selling, Moans Davis
Homecoming dance chairman
Jack Davis, who has secured the 8000-capacity Club Del Mar for this year’s dance, remarked yesterday that judging from ticket sales to date he might just as well have reserved a Founders hall cloak room for the event.
“Only a few hundred bids have been sold for the dance,” said Davis, “as compared to several thousand sold by this time last year.”
Tough Hurdle f
Davis, Olympic hurdler who adm’its promoting 'dance tickets is the toughest hurdle he has faced so‘far, said students should purchase - bids now or face a long last-minute waiting line the dance.

In total SC enrollment the difference is greater because of a drop in University College and Civic centei" registration. Present overall enrollment is 17,728, compared to last ’'fall when 18.822 students were enrolled. This shows a drop of 1094.
Draft a Factor
The drop in total enrollment is attributed to two other factors besides the graduation of veterans—the draft and the increase in tuition. These figures do not include short term courses, clinics in aeronautics, or special educational services.
The most encouraging aspect of the registration this year, said! Howard J. Patmore, registrar, is the larger freshman class which numbers 1174.
“This is a 15 per cent increase over last year,” he said. “Since the number of high school graduates has not increased, the larger freshman class reflects the work done by the office of high school and junior college relations, headed by Russell M. Hack- * ler.”
Campus Visits
This office sponsors high school and junior college days during which students from institutions throughout the Southland visit the campus. It also holds a counselors’ day.
Last semester Hackler and his assistant, Ellen Potter Wilcox, who has since left SC, visited hundreds of schools throughout California, familiarizing counselors, advisors, and students with courses offered at SC, the various phases of student government, and extra-curricular activities.
Men 4 to 1
The men-women ratio is again 4 to 1, the same as it was a year ago, with 8506 men compared to 2065 women.
A further breakdown of the figures shows that laft year 4479 veterans attended day school whereas this year there are only 3425.
