a I Rooter s Ticket eadline Announced
Unless potential Cal game junketeers get their steam up, ey will not get into the stadium up north.
The reason: Sale of special rooter’s tickets for the Cal-annual battle will definitely end tomorrow afternoon. John Morley, university ticket manager, explains that
-the contract between SC and California states that all unsold tickets must be returned two weeks prior to the game.
“The deadline actually was Saturday,” Mr. Morley said yesterday, “but- it has been extended until tomorrow.”
I Checks elayed Until ov. Sometime
Stall off the landlord and the llkman a little longer.
That is the prospect for most GI dents as the Veterans adminis-ion announced that only 1400 veterans had been mailed sub-tence checks.
Veterans who registered in July, t, who were not among the cky 1400 will probably receive em Nov. 1.
It is estimated that subsistence yments will be made by Nov. 10 all student veterans officially tered at the university, accord-g to L. C. Chapman, manager of e Los Angeles Veterans admin is-tion regional office.
Delay in the check mailing was tributed to the immense amount paper work involved in proces-registrat;ons. With an anti-pated enrollment at SC of 14,250 terans, only 5700 documents ot lrollment had been received by VA at noon yesterday, Chap-: an said. These are now being cessed.
Veterans registration was ap-ximately 20 per cent above the estimate. Lack of facilities and irsonnel available for processing enrollment forms, is the main se of the delay.
All unsold tickets remaining at that time will be returned to the University of California, he said.
The contract is worded in this manner so that SC can sell rooter-er's tickets at a reduced price of $1.50. They ordinarily sell lor $3.
But time is still on the side of those who haven’t bought train tickets for the trip.
The Southern Pacific campus ticket office will be open until 4:30, Oct. 14. Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily except Saturday and Sunday.
George Moran, SP campus representative, will keep the office open tonight and Thursday night for those who cannot get there in daytime.
Roundtrip fares on the Trojan Special are $16.75 for coach seats; $33 for one person in a lower berth; $31.50 for one person in an upper; $29.85 each for two persons sharing a lower; and $28.50 each for two persons in an upper.

Victims of Pound Slash Offered Aid
The Faculty Foreign Students committee and other university officials concerned with the welfare of foreign students met yesterday afternoon and worked out a program of assistance for students from countries where the currency has been devalued.
During several hours of discussion, the officials analyzed the results of a questionnaire they had sent to all SC students from foreign countries in order to determine the extent to which these students have been affected by the devaluation. The committee then set up its aid program, using the results of the questionnaire inquiry as a basis for the plan.
According to Dr. Martin H. Neu-meyer, chairman of the Faculty Foreign Students committee, needy foreign students will first be referred to Counselor of Men Albert Zech, and Counselor of Women Helen Hall Moreland, who will do the initial interviewing.
The dollar-shy students will then be sent to the employment office, where attempts will be made to secure work permits through immigration authorities and jobs; to the housing bureau to find lower co^t quarters and boarding plans; or to any department which can air* in each individual case.
ABOARD THE VELERO IV, AT
SEA, Oct. 3—(U.P)—Marine explorer Otis Barton prowled the bottom of the Pacific ocean off Santa Catalina island today in his giant steel benthoscope in the first of a series of contour dives.
Accompanied by Dewitt Meredith, representative of the Hancock Foundation for Scientific Research, the benthoscope descended only to a depth of 300 feet.
The pair reported by telephone to the crew on the Velero that they had two narrow escapes, as the steel ball almost banged into submerged rocky reefs, rising like skyscrapers from the bottom of the ocean.
NARROW ESCAPE
Barton, who dived to 4500 feet off Santa Cruz isalnd last Aug. 16 reported that contour diving is far more dangerous than deep or spot diving because of the possibility of hitting submerged peaks.
Once, when the benthoscope came within inches of a jagged rockpile, Barton laconically commented, “Gosh, that wras close.”
teresting sight at the bottom of the ocean was the almost continual snowstorm of plankton forms sighted in the floodlights from the benthoscope.
While the pair were on the bottom, Capt. Allan Hancock and his crew of technicians and scientists aboard the Velero kept a close check on the contour of the bottom with fathometers. Dr. Maurice Nelles, research engineer of the Hancock foundation kept up a running conversation with the men in the big ball to make certain communications were maintained.
PHONE TROUBLE
At one time the telephone line’s plug became disengaged, and immediately the men aboard hauled away on the cable and brought the benthoscope back up to 100 feet before communications were resumed, and they were lowered again.
Later this fall the Velero IV with Captain Hancock and Barton probably will conduct contour diving operations in La Jolla canyon, off

Waves of smiles swept over SC yesterday following the official opening of “Hello and Smile Week” at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in front of the university library.
Frada Weyen paused long enough in her job of handing out smile tags to point out that somewhere among the smiling faces were the future “King and Queen of Smiles.”
“Photographers will take pictures of grins displaying the most smile appeal. Pictures will be snapped along Hello walk, which extends from 35th place to 36th street on the library side of University avenue,” she said.
“Photographers’ coverage has been extended to the entire campus,” she concluded, “so don’t leave your smile on Hello walk.”
Smile week, revived by the Phrateres after a two-year absence, is intended to create new friendships and goodwill on campus. Belief that a wide friendly smile is infectuous. that smiles aid in forming new friendships, and that friendship leads to goodwill led to the revival of the old SC tradition.
False, mechanical smiles will not be considered in judging for the “King and Queen of Smiles.”
.Winners will be selected on the basis of their smile appeal and their spontaneous spirit.
Announcement of the winners will be made at the AMS-AWS picnic Friday. The king will receive a $10 merchandise order at Silverwoods and the queen one from Phelps-Terkel.

The switch was made, said Bob Lucats, co-chairman of the contest, because of the better facilities and seating accommodations in the park. The bandstand Is on the west side of the California State Exhibit building.
The song bout is a feature of the all-U picnic and pre-Ohio State game rally. After the picnic the Trojan band will lead a march to Bovard auditorium for the rally at 7. A program of top entertainment is promised by Rally Chairman Larry O'Neil.

formulated in a series of conferences between Federal Mediator Cyrus S. Ching, his two top aides and Presidential Assistant John R. Steelman.
Ching first talked with his assistant, William H. Margolis and Peter Seitz, general counsel of the mediation service. Then he met with Steelman at the White House. While he said the White House visit was “routine,” Ching immediately went into a conference again with Margolis and Seitz. They were the men who made a futile 11th hour attempt to avert the steel strike last Friday.
They were trying to find a solution to the pension demands of the 514,000 CIO United Steelworkers and the 380,000 United Mine Workers. The steel strike went into its third day today and the coal strike into its third week.
Mine Chief John L Lewis allowed the 78,000 anthracite miners in Pennsylvania to return to work today to save the hard coal market. He also ordered 22,000 solt coal miners to return to the pits west of the Mississippi river, but 4500 remained on strike in Utah and two mines in Colorado employing 700 did not re-open.
The re-opening of the anthracite mines brought the re-call of 250 workers by the Lehigh Valley xail-road which operates principally in the hard-coal belt.
Lewis also permitted some mines owned by electric power companies to operate to forestall the possibility of a “brownout” in some districts where stockpiles have dwindled.
VLADIMIR HOROWITZ To Pack House
100th anniversary of Chcpin’s death that Horowitz is presenting in Southland universities.
Sensitive interpretion combined with unsurpassed speed, power, and technique have made Horowitz the ranking Chopin interpreter of our time.
Horowitz has played as many as 100 concerts in one season. He now limits his appearances to two a week. He said, “I played certain numbers so often that I couldn't hear them anymore, even when my fingers were performing them.”
The virtuoso has resolved to perform only six months of the year. The other six months are spent in study. He now refuses to play a composition until he has studied everything the composer has written.
Horowitz is a composer as well as a pianist. His works include sonatas, ballads, etudes, and quartets.

ASSC Posts To Be Filled On Merit Basis
Bob Padgett, ASSC president, announced today ail appointments to ASSC committee chairmanship*, will, in the future, be made from a list of candidates who file petitions listing their experience and qualifications.
“I will follow this policy in all appointments authorized me by the student constitution,” he said.
Every petition will be considered by a commission made up of Padgett and two men and one woman representing the Row and two men and a woman speaking for independent students.
“Final selection will be based on experience and the qualifications of the aspirants,” he said, “writhout regard for their party affiliations.” “Response to the call for petitions for ASBC committee chairmanship openings is very disappointing,” Padgett said today as he contemplated the meager number filed at his office.
Limited response on the part of prospective candidates indicates the full meaning of the call for petitions has not been fully understood by the students, he pointed out.
“Because the only appointees who will be considered are those who petition,” Padgett said, “it is vital that all interested persons who feel they qualify should pick up a petition at the ASSC president’s office and file it before 5 p.m. tomorrow.”
Chairmanship openings are for the greater university, all-university, University Recreation association, and the Trojan Chest.
