Building Code Stops SC Infirmary Plan
Rigid interpretation of city building code specifications for hospitals prevented the University from opening the off-campus Kerckhoff infirmary this semester as part of a proposed expansion of the Student Health Service, President Fred D. Fagg Jr. disclosed Friday.
As a result, the administration is considering building an infirmary on campus, the
Activity Books Now on Sale In Stoo Yoo
Sale of student activity cards will probably end Thursday, according to John Morley, university ticket manager. If additional activity cards are sold after Thursday, they will not be processed in time for the SC-Navy football game on Saturday, Sept. 24, he said.
The cards, which cost $12.50, entitle the holder to admittance to SC athletic contests, drama pro-
Retakes Needed
Some overly modest persons who always claimed that their faces would break a camera never spoite truer words; the campus photo shop said Friday that certain photos taken in conjunction with student activity cards would have to be reshot.
Lucky students who get to come back for retakes are those with activity card numbers from 1273 1580 inclusive and individuals with cards 1187 and 526.
The retakes must be made no later than Wednesday In order that the cards can be processed in time for the Navy game.

president said The program under consideration is in part an outgrowth of a campaign conducted during the last school (year by the Daily Trojan, the Greater University committee, and the Student Senate.
FIRE DANGER A two-story house at 734 West Adams boulevard, given to the University ’recently by the late Mrs. Louise Kerckhoff for medical purposes, was to have been opened as an infirmary and clinic this month until the city engineer's office ruled that it did not meet Los Angeles building code fire requirements for hospitals.
The Kerckhoff home will now be used for various offices and research facilities of the School of Medicine.
Expansion of the Student Health Service and the opening of an in-| firmary will require the initiation of a Student Health fee, but the amount has not been determined.
STUDENTS APPROVE The Student Senate voted last fall for a $10-a-semester health fee, and in a poll conducted by the Daily Trojan 69 per cent of the students approved such a fee.
Under the proposed plan which the University has temporarily had to abandon, the fee would have entitled a student to six days bed care in the infirmary each semester for treatment of simple respiratory diseases, mild contagious disorders and physical injury cases.
Unlimited treatment would also have been given at the clinic for minor ambulatory illnesses and injuries such as colds, sore throats, bums, cuts, bruises, sprains, food poisoning, etc.
PLAN EXPLAINED In case of serious illness requiring care at an outside hospital, the University proposed to pay the minimum hospital room cost for six days per semester toward a student's hospital bill, provided that equivalent infirmary care had not already been given.
A committee headed by Dr. James N. DeLamater, associate dean of the School of Medicine, is re-studying the infirmary plan and operation, but how much of the original proposal can be used has not yet been determined.
Student Union Uproar Yields New Offices
The general upheaval on the second floor of the Student Union was explained Friday when Dr. Bernard L. Hyink, dean of students, said that a new reception center is being installed and offices switched.
With the official title, "Reception Office for Dean of Students," the spacious room near the stairway will be an aid to students in finding t.he offices of the Counselor of Men, Counselor of Women, housing bureau, and office of student information.
Anne Van Baars, '47 SC graduate formerly with the student employment office, will direct the centcr which will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Students may now obtain the new student handbook at the center, and freshmen^ .lay sign up for tomorrow's Freshmen Frolic .
Offices that have been moved. Dean Hyink said, are those of the ASSC president, Counselor of Men, and Counselor of Women. The ASSC president has temporarily been moved to room 233; Dr. Albert Zech. counselor o fmen, is in 225. and Helen H. Moreland, councelor of women, is in room 222.
Dean Hyink's office is now located in room 235. The ASSC president will move into the Alumni association office in February. The Alumni association office will be moved to the Administration building.

Special chartered buses will take passengers from the station to the California campus and stadium. Buses will take passengers directly to the St. Francis hotel in downtown San Francisco after the game.
This is something new. It eliminates the mad scramble and crowds seeking transportation after the game to San Francisco., It also eliminates fighting private automobile traffic over the upper level of the Bay Bridge. Buses use the faster lower level.
Organizations or groups of 20 or more will be provided with a pull-man car for their exclusive use. Trains will carry dance car, snack bar, dining cars, and observation or lounge car, assuring ample room for entertainment and a good time.
Tickets will be available at a special office on campus, 3526 University avenue, beginning Sept. 19. In addition, tickets will be available for the regular streamline trains, the Morning Daylight, San Joaquin Daylight, and the Starlight.
Registrar Sees Signup Drop
At least 14,500 day-time students are expected to register for the fall semester, according to figures compiled by Registrar Howard W. Patmore, as against 17,000 who were enrolled last year.
The decrease will be due to the graduation of veterans, Patmore said, although at least 8500 GIs are expected to register this term.Most of them will be in the senior class and the graduate school.
Ten years ago SC had a day-time enrollment of only 6130 students.

Frosh Eligible For Air ROTC
Non-veteran freshmen students will be eligible this semester for Air ROTC training in conjunction with their chosen courses or majors.
Applicants for unlimited openings in the program should contact the campus office of Air ROTC, 902 West 37th street, before the end of the late registration period.
Eight vacancies for engineering veterans exist in advanced courses of Air ROTC. These positions will not apply to seniors.
The Trojan football band is looking for musicians to fill its Cardinal and Gold uniforms. That’s the word from Clarence Sawhill, director of university bands.
Sawhill and his chief assistant, Tommy Walker, leader of the football band, are planning a 120-piece organization and have openings for instruments of all kinds. Students may obtain information about%the band at the Instrumental Organizations building, comer of Hoover street and Exposition boulevard, where applications will be taken this week.
Approximately 400.000 spectators will see and hear the band this fall, Sawhill said. In addition, the bandsmen wil> play to radio and television a <ces which tune in on SC grid b. ,tles.
Issuing of uniforms, instruments, and music will take place today, T Wednesday, and Friday, with the first rehearsal scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at 3:15. The band’s first appearance will be at the SC-Navy game in the Coliseum, Saturday, Sept. 24.
For students who desire it, one unit of credit may be obtained for band work by class enrollment in the band. Other rewards for all members include football tickets, lunch following Saturday morning rehearsals, honor keys, sweaters, and blankets which are awarded according to a length-of-service scale, and frequent opportunities for motion picture work at regular musicians’ salaries.
Following the 1948 season, bandsmen participated in six movies for various studios, including such pictures as “Father Was a Fullback,” “Man With a Horn,” “It Happens Every Spring,” and “All the King's Men.”
On Oct. 15 the football band will march at Berkeley to renew a musical rivalry as intense as that involving the pigskin. When the smoke clears away, the Trojan band intends to leave the devastated Cal tooters in utter disgrace—as usual —and the key man behind the triumph will be Bandmaster Sawhill—as usual.
* Beginning of the End
The campus is getting a face-lifting.
And so is the Daily Trojan.
At the beginning of publication—and that means every school year for the DT—editorials are written with high-sounding phrases and meaningless expressions. Everyone it seems wants to walk hand *n hand into the sunset.
Inevitably, I suppose, this editorial will end up that way. But before we start those sentences, let’s look at a few things.
The Daily Trojan is the connection between students and faculty on this campus. Its purpose is to inform. There is a certain amount of opinion, expressed only in editorials or in columns. News must be and will be devoid of any editorializing.
We at SC—and that includes students, faculty, and friends—live in a community of our own, the SC community. The things that concern us happen on campus. We expect our community newspaper, the DT, to inform us of these happenings, and we expect it to do this in an objective and unbiased manner.
Those happenings in the nation and across the seas, unless they somehow include SC, must be left to papers more capable of coverage. The DT is concerned primar-
