NEW YWCA building to be built on the corner of Hoover street and 36th place will be for the use of the some 4000 women on campus. The recent sand and gravel strike will not affect the construction—it hasn't' been started yet.
SC Building Construction Weeks Behind Schedule
A three-week’s average extension on construction time of SC’s new buildings will result from the recent sand and gravel strike, according to the department of development.
The proposed YWCA is the only one of the six buildings to be constructed this school year that will be unaffected by the strike. The reason is simple: It has not been started yet. In fact, a date has not yet been set for the bids from contractors to be called in.

Corrections ranging from eight minutes in the reference room to two in (he government periodical room were listed.
As Mark Twain once wrote, “Which is better: to have a clock run slow and never be right, or to let it stop altogether and be right twice a day?”
Will Seek Approval For Chest Chairman
At the sound of the.bell at the ASSC Senate meeting tonight, the third round of the Trojan Chest chairmanship appointment fight will get underway.

legislative group, will aiyiounce his*--

Bovards Watch' Unlike Broadway's
by OWEN ANDERSON
Bovard auditorium’s'curtain went up for the drama department’s first performance of Lillian Heilman’s New York hit “Watch on the Rhine” last night and came down at the end of the third act after the cast had demonstrated that this was no Broadway production.

fires and flaming floats, said by some Row inhabitants to be the direct result of “the tremendous pressure and tension of H-week,” Captain Bedell pointed out the dangers of these activities.
“It makes me shudder to think what might easily happen some day if these unscheduled blazes continue,” he said. “Most of the houses along the Row are of wooden construction, have shingled roofs, and would really go fast, once they were set off. The entire side of a street could burn down quickly under unfavorable conditions.”
Saying that he usually favored a “boys will be boys” attitude up to a certain point, the fire captain indicated that he thought this point had been reached and passed dur-

ing the Homecoming fire incidents. In addition to the possibilities of a real conflagration, he pointed out that impromptu blazes in the street damage the pavement and actually give the city grounds for suit.
DECORATIONS YANKED Yard decorations were pulled down following Thursday night’s parade and used to kindle four separate fires on the Row. Early Saturday night fraternity floats were set ablaze, flames soaring as high as 50 feet and endangering high-voltage power lines.
“We want to cooperate with the 1 students, and will do everything in ; our power to aid in the success of future Homecoming celebrations,” Captain Bedell said, “but these fires in the street are dangerous to everyone concerned.”

Students Favor Athletic Subsidies
Open subsidizing of football players was overwhelmingly favored by SC students in a poll conducted yesterday by the Daily Trojan.
Eighty per cent of the students polled preferred the open paying of football players to undercover subsidization.
Six out of 10 of these, however, said that it is morally wrong to pay athletes, but that since subsidization is a common practice, it should be done openly.
Football players earn their pay, the other four out of 10 said. They believed that since universities make so much money from football, they should pay the athletes for the great amount of time they put in.	#

third consecutive meeting.
At the last two meetings certain factions of the Senate, mustering a commanding vote, have given the “old heave ho” to Padgett’s appointments. >
FEEL OPPOSITION First to feel the power of the opposition were Lois Wollenweber and Buck Sherlock, when they were named cochairmen by Padgett a month ago.
Two weeks ago Buck Sherlock faced the fire alone when hi was denied approval by the Senate.
Following this rebuke, Padgett informed the Senate that he would “continue submitting names of his appointees to the group.”
LASHES AT SENATE “If it takes all year to get your approval of my appointments, then I will continue bringing them to you all year,” he said, lashing at the Senate.
A possible highlight of the evening may be the report of the Finance committee of the NSA delegates’ financial report that was submitted at the last meeting by Bob Flower, one of the delegates to the NSA national congress held •last summer at the University of Chicago.
The report was the source of considerable furor when it was declared inaccurate by Bill Gray, another delegate to the congress. MATTER DUMPED Importance of getting the entire matter cleared up was pointed out by Padgett as it was dumped into the lap of the Finance committee for full investigation.
A matter Df considerable interest to many st-.dents, the debate and discussion on the NSA reports made to the Senate last meeting, will be brought up as a point of new business if the members so desire. All debate ana discussion was automatically delayed at the last meeting for two weeks.
Gagged by Senate rule until tonight the pros and cons will have the opportunity to take their respective stands. Such stands, if taken tonight, may well indicate the trends of student thinking concerning SC affiliation with the group, or at least the student-sena-tor thought trends.
Plan Devised To Mechanize Registration
You may not have to wait out registration lines next semester, according to Allen Arthur, chairman of the Greater-U Registration subcommittee.
Arthur has devised a plan which would completely mechanize registration through the use of IBM registration forms.
The student would pick up an IBM card already filled out with information taken from his application for admittance, or from his last semester registration papers.
Class cards would be placed in small bins with IBM cards punched and marked with the class numbers. The student would pick up the class cards he wanted, pick up an IBM schedule card, and turn all of them in for processing.
All of the cards the student turned in would be placed in an IBM machine. The machine would print all the information from his first card which contains his name, address, and other data, on all the other cards, and punch out the classes on the schedule card. An IBM machine can process 6000 such cards an hour.
The machine would then sort all the cards, separate them according to schools, and print up class lists for instructors.
Arthur said that Howard W. Patmore, SC registrar, has considered mail pre-registration for SC, although there are many difficulties that a private school would have with mail pre-registration.
For example, in state schools there is a flat tuition rate as opposed to the unit rate used in most private schools. Students at UCLA must pay for added classes and receive refunds for those dropped. With 15,000 changes in student programs each semester at SC, it would be easier to work out a final program during registration, before tuition fees are paid.

Can student polls aid in the prediction of state elections?
Dr. Floyd Ruch, professor of psychology, sidestepped this question yesterday when he released the results of two student surveys taken two weeks apart, of probable voting preference on Proposition No. 2. the “hot issue” in yesterday's election.
“If we were to conclude “from these data alone the outcome of voting, we would be making

He stated, however, that the comparison of the two polls indicated. a definite trend in the direction of a yes vote increase.
The yes vote had increased 5 per cent. The no vote showed a 4 per cent increase, and the number who were undecided dropped 9 per cent.
than the average adult. Dr. Ruch pointed out.
However, students are so typical that their reaction to surveys does not furnish sound prediction material, he added.
Today, the fate of Proposition No. 2 at the polls is decided, therefore, you, the reader, can decide for yourself the value, if any, which can be placed on such surveys. Results of the first poll:

Results of poll No. 2:
Eighty-nine students voted. Fifty voted yes, 19 voted no, and 20 were undecided. Percentages. Yes, 57 per cent. No, 21 per cent. Undecided, 22 per* cent.
In the two weeks between the polls it was seen that the campaign was clarifying the issue and educating the voters. Those deciding the issue in their own minds were almost evenly divided in their vote.
Dr. Ruch concliSded.
