Cal Train Ticket Sales Declining
Only 185 students stand ready to , board the “Bomb Berkely” train, j according to George Moran, Southern Pacific campus representative. The train has accommodations for 500 students.
Moran feels it must be the end-of-month financial conditions that have discouraged ticket sales, but he is confident that requests will increase following the arrival of GI subsistence checks.
Students are assured that there will be no transportation trouble upon arrival since a charted bus will take them to and from the game. The train arrives in Oakland Saturday morning and leaves 2 a.m. Sunday morning, making hotel reservations unnecessary.
Lambda Chis Victimized By Burglars
A thief walked into the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house early yesterday morning and took more than $40 from the wallets of four men , according to Lambda Chi John Watson.
Don Sperling, IJalph Drew, Jack Kabateck, and Bob Taylor were the Lambda Chi victims. The wallets of Sperling’ and Taylor were also taken it was reported.
Watson, w.ho reported the burglary to the Daily Trojan, said that the police had been notified. A check by the D.T. with both the Los Angeles and the campus police, however revealed no report of the burglary had been turned in to either of them.
Disarmament Irks Tommy; 'This's Gotta Stop' He Cries
“Why can t I keep a sword! I’m so mad I could spit arrowheads! If it was only once in a while, I wouldn’t mind so much. But all the time! And these paint jobs that I get every so often have got to stop! In short, Bert something’s got to be done!” Thus spake Tommy.
So, Bert Coffey, president of the Knights IS going to do something. Today at the meeting of the Knights, he is going to put it up to the group to see what they can propose toward the re-armament of the Trojan warrior.
The Knights, who have been custodians of the sword since the arrival of Tommy on campus in 1930 as a gift of the Alumni Association, are frankly perplexed about what to do and how to do it.
The Knights will probably decide to re-arm Tommy, much to the consternaion of Cal. The sword will probably remain on high for two, and if lucky, three days, until it is stolen, at which time the Knights will be forced to put up another one. This sort of thing could go on forever.
Voting Light as Polls Close Today
The final curtain will fall today on the third and last act of the current SC production, “No President Atoll,” ending one of the most bitterly-fought elections in Trojan history.
Unless voting is heavier today than it was yesterday and --* Monday only one-fifth of the student body will have had a voice in
Unity Reports Bulletin Board, Money Stolen
Unity party was hit hard early Tuesday morning when theives broke into their headquarters on the fourth floor of the Student Union and ran off with $10, books. Unity literature, and the bulletin board which was a center of controversy last week.
To add to Unitymen's troubles, unknown students passed out anti-Unity leaflets in front of the Student Union, Doheny Memorial library, and the Annex building later the day. -~.
When Bernard L. Hyink. dean of students, was reached early in the afternoon, he said that the leaflets were unauthorized by him. Later, Dean Hyink authorized the use of the leaflets as being within the campaign rules.
Earlier, before Dean Hyink made his authorization, Ellen Potter, ASSC vice-president, said that campaigning is illegal if it has not been approved by the dean of Students. One of the leaflets which Unity party charged as being illegal was entitled “Who.” It made derogatory statements against the makeup of the party and its presidential candidate Bob Padgett.
Another leaflet outlined the qualifications and platform of Ed Vierheilig. Both leaflets were thrown into automobiles parked on campus.
Frank O'Sullivan, chairman of the Unity party, also charged that a caravan if three convertibles passed the election area with horns honking and signs displayed. One sign said “Defeat Padgett,” another said “Vote for Richardson for Frosh President.”
Bill Gray, election committee-man. verified O'Sullivan’s story, but said he did not see the “Defeat Padgett” sign.
Election rules state that it isi illegal to campaign within 150 feet of the voting area.
Instead of being downhearted at the turn of events, presidential candidate Bcb Padgett said that he was grateful for the publicity.
Despite Padgett’s statement, Unitymen were dejected because the theives took paints and posters which they were going to use in the election campaign.
O'Sullivan said fhat it is now impossible to replace posters taken from the Student Union.
determining the course of its government this year.
When the polls closed yesterday, 2759 ballots had been cast, including 261 freshmen votes and a disappointing 81 from the School of Dentistry.
About 300 more students marohed to the pools yesterday than were counted Monday, when 1200 ballots were given out.
At the end of the first two days of last spring’s election, 3099 votes had been cast. About 2500 were tallied on the final day.
EMPTY BOOTHS
“We could take care of 15 times as many voters as we've had today,” Election Commissioner Reynolds deplored, looking at the long rows of empty booths.
The polling area is located on the porch of Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall, 666 West 36th street, immediately east of Hancock auditorium and south of Doheny library.
Tension mounted yesterday as the voting got heavier in the afternoon. Representatives of both Bob Padgett and Ed Vierheilig watched the ballot distribution aid each other closely, but no discrepencies were reported.
SMOOTH ELECTION
T.he most difficult and tedious job in the election pfocedure. that of comparing signatures on I.D. and registration cards, was handled by teams of Unity and Row men and women. Only once did they doubt a signature, and the identity was established by the picture on the student’s activity book.
The smoothness of the election procedure is in sharp contrast to the hectic balloting last spring, when a record 5500 votes were cast. Tight security methods devised by Reynolds’ committee leave no room for manipulations.

Non-Union Miners Get Gun Permits
PITTSBURGH. Sept. 27—(U.P)— Non-union coal miners went back to work today with loaded guns and fresh violence broke out in western Pennsylvania's soft coal fields.
Sherrif William Hannold of Clarion County, Pa., disclosed tonight that he has issued “50 or 60” gun permits to non-union miners determined to work despite roving United Mme Workers pickets.
“I issued the permits so they can protect thmeselves and their property," Hannold said.
Armed guards were placed around many small open-pit operations in the district. Watchful state police feared that the arming of the nonunion men might incite the pickets to more violence.
Drug Path Now Traced in Body
by DOLORES DIETRICH
Hothouse gardens where radioactive opium and nicotine are grown were described by Albert Gotlieb, executive secretary of the Council on Atomic Implications, yesterday at a CAI meeting.
The path of radioactive morphine can now be traced through the body as it goes about its pain-killing duties, he said.
Gotlieb recently toured several atomic energy centers, which are doing research in the field of radioactivity. They included Oak Ridge, University of ChicagoN^ord Motor company, and the Parke-Davis company.
Gotlieb explained that this is completely new and that scientists are only beginning to feel their way into it.
Another immediate use is in the determination of the age of a recently discovered Peruvian mummy.
According to Gotlieb the trip made him realize how important radioactive research can be to industry, and how far behind they are in applying it to industries.
“There are many reasons why industry won’t experiment with it,” he said. “First, there is a lack of qualified personnel, who are hedged in by governmental restrictions. Second, there is a normal delay in seeing its possibilities. Much imagination must be used to forsee its use.”
Other reasons for the lag, Gotlieb continued, are that it is difficult to convince top management that it is a good field, and that they are afraid of irresponsible law suits. f

* Installation of the new ASSC president will top the order of business at the Senate meeting tonight, provided that the election is approved and the report of the Senate investigating committee is accepted.
“Unless a serious charge is made against either candidate's campaign, we will have a*' new president tomorrow night,”
Acting President Ellen Potter said yesterday. “I want to get rid of this job as scon as I can.”
Miss Potter has handled all the president's duties since Ed Vierheilig’s victory was discounted by the referendum last May, This has been in addition to her job as ASSC vice-president and s o c i a chairman.
COMPLETION EXPECTED
The counting of ballots is expected to be completed by 8 tonight. The results will be made known to the Senate immediately,
The count will be made by Dean of Students Bernard L. Hyink, the election commission, and representatives cf both candidates.
The ASSC constitution requires that an election must be invest! gated by a Senate committee which reports to the Senate on the validity of the election.
NOT AGAIN
It was approval of the investi gating committee’s report which was overturned by the referendum last spring, making it necessary to hold a new election.
*Y certainly hope we don’t have to go through this again,” Miss Potter said, “but there is a possibility.’’
George Moran, Southern Pacific representative, will speak to the
Senate about special trains to Berkeley for the California game.
Moran is in charge of ticket sales for the trains.
Navy Game Card Stunts Televised
SC card stunts made their TV debut Saturday during the Navy game, and they will continue to be televised during future home games.
The success of the card stunts can be accredited to Bill Hobba, Trojan Knight, who has been designing them during the past four

Bikini Blast Shown
SR0 Crowd Views Atom Movie
A turn-away crowd packed Hancock Auditorium for the film ‘'God of the Atom,” a Moody Institute of Science production, and the first cf lour movies to be shown this week by the Inter Varsity Christian fellowship.
An attentive audience watched quietly as the film showed the workings of the atom in terms understandable to the laity.
Portions of the technicolor film described the 184 and 60 inch cyclotrons at the University of Calif-
bj the top scientists of this country.
Other sections of the film told of the processes behind the bombs, from Einstein’s theory of E-MCs, to protons, electrons, and neutrons, and finally to the finished product capable of destroying an area five miles around the point of explosion.
Audience reaction reached its high point when actual Navy films of thc underwater blast at Bikini showed a huge column of water rising several hundred feet into the air and the sound track told graph-
oraia. These are used and cared ically of the destruction of targets
in the arei oy the terrible explosion.
Two eyewitnesses described the awful destruction caused by the bomb, expressing the belief that the human race can survive only by controlling the future use of the bomb since there is no adequate defense against the bomb itself.
The IVCF plans to present three more films this week, all at 12:10. They are; “God of Creation,” “Voice of the Deep,” and “Dust of Destiny.”
There will be a special reshowing of “God of the Atom,” on Friday afternoon.

Cafeteria Floor Pouring Begins
Big time batter in the form of cement began to flow yesterday over the waffie-like sub-flcor of the new cafeteria building.
After spending" many arduous hours laying the upside down bathtub like affairs on what will be the first floor of the new building, the construction gang finally began to pour the cement over the 20,000 square feet of sub-flooring.
It will take two days for the 175 skilled men with 160,000 lbs. ot cement to finish the job,

Drug Path Now Traced in Body by DOLORES DIETRICH Hothouse gardens where radioactive opium and nicotine are grown were described by Albert Gotlieb, executive secretary of the Council on Atomic Implications, yesterday at a CAI meeting. The path of radioactive morphine can now be traced through the body as it goes about its pain-killing duties, he said. Gotlieb recently toured several atomic energy centers, which are doing research in the field of radioactivity. They included Oak Ridge, University of ChicagoN^ord Motor company, and the Parke-Davis company. Gotlieb explained that this is completely new and that scientists are only beginning to feel their way into it. Another immediate use is in the determination of the age of a recently discovered Peruvian mummy. According to Gotlieb the trip made him realize how important radioactive research can be to industry, and how far behind they are in applying it to industries. “There are many reasons why industry won’t experiment with it,” he said. “First, there is a lack of qualified personnel, who are hedged in by governmental restrictions. Second, there is a normal delay in seeing its possibilities. Much imagination must be used to forsee its use.” Other reasons for the lag, Gotlieb continued, are that it is difficult to convince top management that it is a good field, and that they are afraid of irresponsible law suits. f years.

COMPLETION EXPECTED The counting of ballots is expected to be completed by 8 tonight. The results will be made known to the Senate immediately, The count will be made by Dean of Students Bernard L. Hyink, the election commission, and representatives cf both candidates. The ASSC constitution requires that an election must be invest! gated by a Senate committee which reports to the Senate on the validity of the election. NOT AGAIN It was approval of the investi gating committee’s report which was overturned by the referendum last spring, making it necessary to hold a new election. *Y certainly hope we don’t have to go through this again,” Miss Potter said, “but there is a possibility.’’ George Moran, Southern Pacific representative, will speak to the Senate about special trains to Berkeley for the California game. Moran is in charge of ticket sales for the trains.

Other sections of the film told of the processes behind the bombs, from Einstein’s theory of E-MCs, to protons, electrons, and neutrons, and finally to the finished product capable of destroying an area five miles around the point of explosion. Audience reaction reached its high point when actual Navy films of thc underwater blast at Bikini showed a huge column of water rising several hundred feet into the air and the sound track told graph- oraia. These are used and cared ically of the destruction of targets in the arei oy the terrible explosion. Two eyewitnesses described the awful destruction caused by the bomb, expressing the belief that the human race can survive only by controlling the future use of the bomb since there is no adequate defense against the bomb itself.
