Oskie Leaves, Banner Returns
Oskie, delinquent Cal mascot, is home again alter his extended stay in the southland. He was placed in the hands of his brothers Friday ! in an exchange between the SC banner and his moth-eaten person.
A rumbling tank brought Oskie to Tommy Trojan, the scene of exchange, where Bill Park, a member of Cal’s rally committee, hopped out and went to the feet of Tommy.
The SC banner was then exchanged for Oskie, and the Ca' men, under the guard of Knights and Squires, immediately retired.
Other members of the Cal rally committee present were Bob Baker and Rolf Coon.
One of SC's 26 “Helen of Troy” * contestants, suffering fiom second degree facial burns, was swathed in bandages Friday and warned that she could only enter the long-awaited noon contest today “by a miracle.”
Bandages will he removed from petite Pat Johnson's face and neck this morning in time for the first big event of this year's colorful, event-studded Homecoming Week, and she hopes she’ll be OK.
She was burned last week when she fell asleep under an untra-violet ray lamp at her home in

Final glitter in the galaxy of Helen of Troy contestants are pictured at the top of this page. Space limitations prevented their ap, ?arance in Friday’s edition.
Conflicting reports as to the reason for Oskie's withdrawal from SC have been heard. While some persons maintain that it was simply a:i exchange for the SC banner, there is another version.
Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men, reports that “after a conference Oskie decided to withdraw from the SC campus and receive a “W” for all work taken here.”
Reports from Cal have it that Oskie is discontented. “It ain't too gooc, up here,” he said. I love sunshine and this fog is terrible.” Students returning from the Cal-UCLA game were inclined to agree with him. They admitted that after a trip the “fog” is terrible.

Form-fitting Suits Jump Attendance
Women’s membership in the SC swim club jumped 10 per cent last week after the physical education department granted members special permission to wear their own bathing suits.
The department suits required before last week were described as “blue gunny sacks” by Secretary Tom Wire.
The new two-piece, form-fitting suits were said to improve the setting at the pool Thursday by 100 per cent.
Parking a car near the Trojan campus is getting to be an almost superhuman accomplishment these days. After the eight o’clock classes begin practically all of the available space in front of both the Old College and the Administration buildings is filled. By nine o’clock the side streets and the parking spaces in back of the Administration building and on the side of the Old College are crowded almost beyond capacity.
With over 8000 students, about half of them coming in machines, the parking space provided is inadequate at best. This londition is aggravated by the fact that the first arrivals park their cars at any angle to the curb that suits their wandering fancy.
Instead of heading in at right angles to the curb where they will take up the least room they slide in at any angle. “Take up as much space as you please as long as you get your car in” seems to be the favorite Trojan motto at present.
In the parking spaces the cars are so carelessly arranged that it is usually necessary to wait until several cars can be moved before one can get his out. All this is totally unnecessary and causes considerable wear and tear upon the fenders and the drivers’ dispositions.
For a University which prides itself upon being up to date and enterprising, USC is allowing a disgraceful condition to exist. There is not a small town in the state that would stand for it, let alone a University. If the Trojan students don’t know enough to consider each others rights, it is time they learned.
Since this condition of parking space affects all, it certainly should be attended to. It warrants at least as much attention as whether the Frosh wear caps or not. The best way to remedy it is for every student to take it upon himself to see that his car is properly placed on all occasions.
If this fails, then a committee should be appointed to look into this matter at once if we want our campus to look like a real university and not a small town college..

her to enter the contest today.
“It’ll be a miracle if she can make it,” her doctor said Friday.
Pat, a Dee Gee and this semester's Smile queen, wasn’t giving up. “I'm not withdrawing until they tell me to,” she promised Friday.
OTHERS SEEK CROWN
Twenty-five other campus lovelies are still definitely in the running for the coveted beauty crown, which will be awarded by a panel of judges at noon on the Bovard stage.
The judges are now scheduled tc be Kirk Douglas, star of the film “Champion;” Max Autrey, portrait photographer; Earl Moran, calendar-girl artist; and the newest appointee, Leslie Opace, screen-test director for 20th Century Fox.
QUEEN’S SCHEDULE FULL
Their choice for Helen will be the queen of the campus for the week-long program of events, including such items as the Flapper day parade, the campus presentation of the Bob Hope show, the Frosh-Soph brawl, the homecoming parade, taxi day, Trolios of 49 and the SC-Stanford game. During Queen Helen's coronation, the girls glee club will sing songs from “South Pacific.”
Queen Helen will broadcast coast-to-coast, parade before television cameras with her retinue, and share

Flapper day makes its first appearance on campus tomorrow. The call has been sounded for all flapper-minded fellows and girls to head for the attic to dig up any attire that would be appropriate for the Flapper Day parade at noon.
Flapper Day is the brain-child of Bill Bird and his homecoming committee, and is under thre direction of Elwood Houseman
Adornment of the old cars with superfluous inscriptions will lessen that entry’s chance of winning,” Houseman said Friday. “The judges of the contest, who will remain

have been awarded, have been instructed by the Homecoming committee to judge on a basis of authenticity. They want costumes and cars that look as if they have been reincarnated directly from the flapper era,” Houseman said.
This eliminates cats which are gaudily lettered with white paint and contestants who are extreme in dress.
Two trophies will be awarded. One trophy will be given to the student who fulfills the judges’ ideas of what the ideal flapper personality should look like. The other trophy will be awarded to the car and its occupants who are also authentically attired.
Any group, or any person who l^is not entered the contest formally may still participate. An entry blank is not required.
Trophies are to be awarded by the Les Kelley Car Company, and the Stan Hall clothing shop.
Classes Plan Annual Brawl
Freshmen anu sophomores will celebrate homecoming with the staging of their annual frosh sophomore brawl Wednesday.
From 1 to 3 p. m. loyal' class members will give their all for class honor on the Women's athletic field. Sack races, an egg-carrying contest, and the traditional tug-of-war will keep the lower classmen busy, according to Gale Peck, sophomore president.
The Homecoming Queen will present the winning class with a perpetual trophy.
Rounding out the afternoon's festivities will be a dance and talent show in the student lounge from 3 to 5 p. m. A dance combo and special entertainmp/it will be provided. A student talent show will feature a Spanish singer with Latin accompanists, tap dancing team, pantomine act, tmpet solo, light opera duet, and a piano monologue.
Refreshments will be served. T^e entire student body is invited.
Paint Slingers Fail to Show For Weekend
A happy Berkeley Bear, pacified by Oskie and a Bruin pelt, had to be content with an early-Friday-morning paint attack on Tommy Trojan for he never had another opportunity to deface the warrior or take him to Strawberry Canyon.
Twenty Tau Kappa Epsilon members, reinforcing the campus police, appeared too formidable a guard for the Cal rooters on Friday and Saturday nights.
Though numerous cars entered the campus area both nights, the TKE truck and car patrols kept them moving right on off the campus. The TKEs. patrolling from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., stopped all suspici-ous-looking cars and checked the occupants’ identification.
Bert Coffpy, Knight president, ar pea rev.’ on campus late Friday night to check the patrol. He was halted and forced to identify himself. Coffey stated. “I was »et by two guards and a Great D? e. Any Cal man, in the same situation would have fled I am sure.”
Vets May Sign For Bids Wed.
Veterans who haven’t received checks can now get Homecoming dance bids on credit.
Ex-GIs may sign up for the bids Wednesday at the VA office, according to Veteran's Representative Maury Avins.
