Favorable reaction for a signal at the intersection of 36th. street and University avenue was registered yesterday by Elton D. Phillips, university business manager.
The urgent need for the traffic signal was described in an editorial which appeared in yesterday’s DT.
r ' “We have discussed the situation,” Phillips said, “but we have given it no official consideration.” A signal would pose some problems, he continued. Between class hours, the delay occurring while motoi traffic was favored would cause a tremendous pile up cf students. Crosswalks would have to be widened considerably at the expense of several parking spaces, and red curbs would have to be strictly enforced.
“I intend to take this up with Fisher as soon as possible,” he said. Robert D.. Fisher, financial vice-president, was not available for comment.
P.hillips expressed some doubt that the city would accept the proposal since most congestion occurs between classes and at the noon hour. At other times, neither pedestrian nor motor traffic is excessively heavy. The signal wouiu afford a greater measure of safety to thes tudents as well as facilitate the moving of automobiles.
Man Didn't Miss His Cash.
Lambda Chi Jimmy Janes apparently has so much money he didn't notice until yesterday that the burglar who cleaned four of his fraternity brothers of $40 Wednesday also took him ^or $12.
John Watson, who reported the theft to the DT, said that the empty wallets of the other victims, Ralph Drew, Jack Raba-teck, Don Sperling, and Bob Taylor, were found yesterday under the couch in the living room.
Although the campus police were not notified of the robbery, Los Angeles police are working on the case and reportedly have a description of the culprit.

Army's Tank Helps Trojans To Sink Navy
The Army worked almost as hard as the Navy while preparing for last Saturday’s Trojan-Navy game.
A 27-ton M-24 tank was used to tow’ the victory bell and carry Tommy Trojan around the Coliseum track in pregame ceremonies. Plenty of work on the Army’s part was behind the tank’s appearance.
Belonging to the 40th Reconnaissance company, 40th Infantry division of the California National guard, the tank developed track trouble. Col. Robert Henderson, who arranged for providing the tank, sent a hurried flight to San Luis Obispo to obtain a link replacement.
Unsuccessful there, the Army finally located the link at Ft. MacArthur.
Four mechanics worked long hours Friday night to have it ready for Saturday.
And the Navy football team thaugh they had it rough!

SC Chemist to Speak Tomorrow
Detergents that are more effective in hard water than in soft will be described when Dr. Todd Doscher of the chemistry depart • ment addresses the Chemical Research conference at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in 107 Science.
In his talk, “Behavior and Application of Non-Ionic Detergents," Dr. Doscher will tell of recent experiments designed to reveal the mechanism by which these materials function as detergents. He also will discuss their practical application, which may be of news to industry and the housewife who has had the experience of finishing her wash in plain, sudsless, hard water.
At present these detergents are in the experimental stage in various companies, and are just coming into use. They may be used to protect automobile engines from rusting, for washing in the home, and for drilling fluids by oil and gas drilling companies.
Questionnaires were mailed Monday by the offices of the counselors of men and women to the 325 foreign students on campus to ascertain if and in what manner the devaluation of the sterling pound will affect them.
Approximately 50 of the questionnaires sent out under the direction of the faculty committee studying the problem have been returned.
The majority of the students said they would meet this difference in funds by working part-time during the semester or vacation period, if the Immigration department would
Social Workers Will Honor Dean Johnson
The chief of the U. S. Children’s bureau, Washington, D. C., arrived in Los Angeles today to speak at a dinner tomorrow night honoring Dean Arlien Johnson on her 10th anniversary as dean of the School of Social Work.

Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid. master of ceremonies, will introduce Gordon Manser, president of the alumni association of the School of Social Work; Dr. Albert S.

allow them to do so. Others asked for loans or scholarships.
Albert Zech, counselor of men, announced that the university would take action next week and try to secure work permits from the Immigration department for the students. Without a permit an alien may not do any work requiring a social security card. Whether or not the SC employment office will be able to find jobs for the students presents another problem.
The possibility of receiving aid from the student loan or scholarship funds is negligible, announced Dr. Zech, since both reserves are practically depleted.
Other aid might be received from outside philanthropic groups, service clubs, or student organizations desiring to relieve the economic plight of the students.

Honored by the air force were Paul Duganne, Ralph Michael, Richard Tudor, Bill Francis, and George Nakashima.
Beaming Bob Padgett, winner of the off-again-on-again presidential race, ducked away from vigorous hand-clasps arid backslaps after the final returns last night to shout to DT reporters:
“I hope I am worthy of the confidence placed in me by the student body. I firmly hope that all members of the student body, regardless of affiliation, will feel thai my office is at their service.” he said.
“Again I want to thank the students for their past support, and I seek their future cooperation.”
Frosh Race

“I want to congratulate Padgett and the U.iity party,” he said after being recognized by Ellen Potter, acting ASSC president.
“I guess I’ll run for president of the ‘Dead Duck’ club next year,” he concluded.

AM<? cosponsor of the contest. Although only 10 organizations have entered four-man groups as yet. claims Lucas, at least another dozen are on the verge of signing.
The dual barbershop-beautyshop competition will be held during the all-U picnic, Oct. 7. Contestants, still predominantly women, will appear in many various types of costumes, although the themp will bs predominantly gay-ninetyish.

“I hope we can reach the same sort of accord as we had at the beginning of last year,” he con eluded.
PARTY MEN
Jubilant Unity party men swarmed around Padgett after the meeting was adjourned.
Frank O’Sullivan, Unity party chairman, was calmed down long enough to make the statement that “Padgett will carry out a program along the lines which the word “Unity” implies. He is the president of a united SC student body.”
TENSE AND NERVOUS
An undercurrent of tenseness and nervousness was apparent from the time the Senate was called to order until the results were announced two hours later at 9:20.
Vierheilig, present throughout the meeting, was silent and meditative.
As soon as the news was received. he congratulated the winner and left the chamber soon after, followed by a few of his supporters.
Padgett remained in Unity party headquarters throughout the meeting. He made a triumphant entrance accompanied by applause and cheers following the news of his victory. The throng that had awaited the news all evening went wild.
Reynolds expressed his gratitude for the cooperation given him and the commission by the students, the candidates, and the poll workers.
Almost 2000 voters streamed to the polls on the last day, with 90 going through in the last hour. During the first two days the number of ballots cast reached 2659. Votes from the School of Medicine and the School of Dentistry were 56 and 81, respectively.
