DEAN STREVEY "No Free Rides.”
Dean Greets LAS Freshmen
New students in the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences were reminded yesterday by Dean Tracy E. Strevey that there are “no free rides, in terms of classes and grade averages,” at SC.
Speaking at an informal meeting in the Student Lounge. Dean Stre-vey welcomed incoming LAS students and admonished them not to neglect constant checking of their schedules and fullfilling graduation requirements.
‘ The College of Letters, Arts,* and Sciences doesn't train for any one pro.e3s:on,” the dean remarked. "buL aids students in obtaining a basis and background for choosing a profession later.”
Dr. Paul Hadley, LAS adviser, invited the newcomers to take advantage of advisement service offered by the college.
ASSC Acting President Ellen Potter stressed the political duty which all students have, and remarked on the fact that the newest Trojans have the opportunity during t.heir first semester here to vote for stu-det body president.
Recriminations Fly in Steel j Pension Battle
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 15— (U.E)—prospects for peaceful settlement of the steel dis- j pute waned tonight as CIO President Philip Murray and1 U.S. Steel corporation ex-changed angry telegrams which indicated neither side would give an inch.
Murray told Benjamin F.
Fairless, president of “Big Steel,” that the steel industry was guiity j of a “public be damned” attitude towards the threat of a strike.
Fairless accused Murray of being “dictatorial and unfair.”
Both stubbornly insisted that the other must bear the responsibility should the United Steelworkers go on strike Sept. 25.
INDUSTRY BLAMED
Murray said the industry was “deliberately seeking to force a strike upon the union and the American people.”
A short time later, Fairless Murray’s statement “a repetition of your dictatorial message of yesterday that we must accept the recommendations of the Presidential Steel 'board before your union is willing to resume . . . negotiations.”
FAIRLESS CONFIRMS
‘I now confirm that we declined to accept your ultimatum which is both unfair and contrary to the assurance given us in advance by the President of the United States that the recom-: mendations of the board would not be binding upon either party.” Fairless said.
Fairless said “Big Steel” is willing to join with the CIO-USW in a joint study of pensions, “such study to be concluded by March 1, 1950, if possible, so that there may then be intelligent bargaining over a pension program.”

Activity Book Deadline Off
University College students yesterday came to the rescue of all Troy football fans who missed the deadline on activity ticket sales.
Because of a request from the nighihawks, Ticket Manager John Morley consented to hold the ticket office open Monday and Tuesday all day and evenings from 6 to 8 p.m.
Students photographed on these days will receive their tickets lor the Navy game, but must wait a few days for their activity books to be processed.
Morley said that up to Wednesday evening 5200 activity books had been sold, but he expects sales to reach 8.000 before the deadline Tuesday evening. Even if the total of 8000 sales is reached, | it would still fall short of last! season’s 10,000 mark.
New Organization Formed by Clubs
Representatives from 12 student organizations met yesterday in the Senate chambers and formed a new organization aimed at coordinating their academic and social activities and increasing their voice in student government.
The group, under the temporary chairmanship of Frank O'Sullivan, Trovet president, named themselves the Inter-Organizational cabinet.

Editor States Election Policies
So that all concerned will have no doubts, the following are conditions under which the Daily Trojan will handle information from and about candidates for offices in the forthcoming elections.
The DT will give an equal amount of space to all candidates (this includes ASSC presidential candidates) to state their platforms and qualificat'ons, including past records in student affaire.
If each candidate, or his representative, will contact the DT editor prior to campaign dates (Sept. 22 and 23), arrangements will be made regarding the form such mater’al will take.
In any event, the editor must restsrve the right to edit all copy for possible libelous statements.

The election commissioner said that his committee will use registration cards filled out by students to check eligibility.
TURNOUT HOPES LOW
Although^ Reynolds hoped that the turnout for the election would be the same as at last semester’s relerendum, he intimated that the passage of time and the new crop of students have taken the edge off the election.
We will try to appeal to the students' interest, he said, by placing a blackboard near the voting area that will give an accurate count of those students who have voted.
“My committee and the university is interested in giving the school a good election,” Reynolds said.
Reynold's statement awakened memories of last semester when Bill Me Gurty and his committee came under) attack of U»itymen concerning "irregularities” in the final ballot count.

Crads Cocky, Says Survey
College graduates are excessively cocky, too eager for advancement, and want to start at the top.
At least this is the information found in an opinion survey, “Should a College Man Get a Master's Degree for Los Angeles Area Industries?” conducted last semester by Alpha Kappj, Ps‘, men’s national professional commerce fraternity.
Final results of this survey are now being readied for publication.
Although present results cannot be considered conclusive, early trands seem to indicate, according to Leslie Harrold, president of AKP, that the worth of the master’s degree depends upon what field the graduate intends to enter.
ED VIERHEILIG Title Contender
Platform for the Unity party will be the same as it was last year, Padgett said.
The campaign budget for this year was set at $70. This figure was arrived at by a conference between the candidates and Dr. Bernard L. Hyink, dean of students.
Both men said their campaign committees will meet soon to develop strategy for the election to be held Sept. 26, 27, and 28.
DT Unlocks Pandora's Box
What's wrong with SC?
Are all of the women stuck up or just 99 per cent of them? Are we overemphasizing football? Do you believe every DT reporter is in favor of a welfare state?
Don’t suppress your emotions, Trojans. Uunburden yourselvss on the Daily Trojan which is now looking for those shocking letters to the editor once more.
The letter box is located on the ground floor of the Student Union beside the student directory.
