ing Enrollment Down; Freshman Registration Up
17 Fraternities Missing Awards
by John Witt
Mysteries abound up and down the Row this morning over the disappearance of trophies belonging to 17 of the fraternities yesterday.
No one knows who “borrowed” the trophies, no one knows why they are missing. But the top mystery is how many trophies are gone and which houses lost their prizes.
A list, compiled by Terry Mann -—-
ceived by 1033 new students but it is not known how many of these have registered. Permits were given to 256 new freshmen, 180 sophomores, 172 juniors, 37 seniors, and 388 graduate students.
‘‘We appear to have more entering freshmen than we had a year ago in spring. The count at this
Spring enrollment will be ap-j proximately 2000 below the figure j for 1951, according to H. J. Sheffield, director of admissions.
Final enrollment figures for the spring semester of 1951 were 12,-153. With three days of registration remaining, 9697 have registered for this semester.
Sheffield said that a 10 per cent j time last year was 195 permits is-drop is expected between semes- ' sued,” said Sheffield.
Sheffield was unable to account for the drop in enrollment for “there are many reasons.”
“I think the draft situation is one reason. Many men who would be in college are now joining the armed forces,” he said.
“There just aren’t as many
young people of college age these days. Lots of those entering college were born during the depression and the birth-rate was low during that period.
“Good available jobs and tightening economic conditions are other factors that must be considered when discussing the drop in enrollment,” commented Sheffield.

Final enrollment for the fall semester of 1951 was 10.857 and present indications are that approximately 10,000 will register this semester.

LONDON, Feb. 12—(UP)—Britain's little people said goodbye to their dead King today.
Undaunted by the fact they could not see his face, they filed by the scores of thousands in reverent procession past the closed oaken coffin of King George VI in centuries old Westminster Hall.
Queue-conscious Britons took I their turns in a line half a mile long. It stretched along the houses [ of Parliament, down the Thames I sparkling in the cold sunshine and across Lambeth Bridge.
Crowd Waits
Hour after hour the line inched forward into the historic hall. At 9 p.m., 53.254 mourners had passed , the coffin and the waiting crowd j was lined up 12 abreast in a queue | that extended well last Lambeth Bridge.
Prime Minister and Mrs. Winston Churchill, accompanied by Chancellor of the Exchequer R. A. Butler. were among those who filed past the bier tonight, although the two men already had paid their respects to the dead King in ceremonies last night.
Authorities had planned to close 1 the hall for the night at 10 p.m., but as the crowds continued to gather the closing hour was set I back to 11 p.m.
Privileged Pay Respects
The privileged of the empire paid their respects last night, soon after the body of the King was i brought from Sandringham and placed on a purple catafalque in the great hall built in 1097.
The dukes and the earls and the barons had assembled there, with the members of the House of Commons and the Archbishop of York. Three queens in black veils stood by grieving—Elizabeth II. her mother, Elizabeth, and Mary.
Trovets, campus veterans organi-j zation, has drawn up a petition risking Congress to increase and I liberalize subsistence allowances for r GI Bill of Rights students, i The group is presenting the peti-i tion for veterans to sign in cor-! relation with their semi-annual membership drive at their booth In front of he Student Union.
The petition, which will be sent to a California member of Congress requests that subsistence allowances to veterans in College be increased by an amount of $15 a month, and that total income limitations be raised by $50 a month without incurring loss of subsistence.
Income Limited
It states tha. the requests are being made because veterans find it extremely difficult to participate in full-time schooling and provide themselves with a decent livelihood. Those wrho are able to command a decent part-time wage find the total-income limitation works a hardship on them through loss of subsistence at a relatively low-income level.
“We have circulated the petition for signature since Monday, and already have six pages of signatures.” said Don Fenstermaker, co-chairman of the Trovet membership drive.
Costs Rise
Trovets are asking that the following factors be considered in viewing the petition:
1.	The rise In the cost of living during the last two years.
2.	Because of the increased cost of living, veterans today are actually not receiving as much aid as was intended by the passage of legislation authorizing the present rates.
Vets Too Old
3.	Beer,use of their senice time, vets have reached an age at which they cannot expect financial aid from their families, and it therefore becomes a financial burden for them to take part in many activities in which they would have Dr.rticimted had they attended college at the customary age.
Larry Courtney, president of Trovets. emphasized yesterday that the main reason the petition is being circulated Is that the increased cost of living allows a veteran actually less subsistence than w'as intended at the time legislation was enacted authorizing the present rates, and to remind Congress of this situation.
Korean Veis Helped
“We believe this petition may aid Korean veterans in obtaining a better subsistence when such a bill comes before Congress,” Courtney said.
Fenstermaker revealed that more than 220 veterans obtained membership cards during registration. Figures for cUrrent membership of Trovets are unavailable.

H.S.T. to Run, Says Sabath
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12—(UP) —President Truman was quoted today as saying he would seek re-election. even at the risk of shortening his life, if it would help the cause of wTorld peace.
The remark was relayed to reporters by Rep. Adolph J. Sabath <D-H1.) after a White House visit at which the congressman urged Mr. Truman to run again.
Sabath said the 67-year-old President gave him some reasons why he should not be a candidate and “I gave him some reasons why he should.”
The Illinois congressman gave reporters more details about the president’s current political thinking than any recent White House visitor.
Killed F.D.R.
“He talked about how It Is a killing job. how it killed Franklin D. Roosevelt and how he has put in his seven years.” Sabath said.
‘ But. he said that if he actually feels that it would be of aid to America and the world, he would be willing to sacrifice his health, shorten his life, and be a candidate again.
‘•He thought that if it would help bring about peace and benefit the nation and the world he would, in that instance, run again.” Mr. Truman will be 68 in May. The only president in history inaugurated at that age was William Henry Harrison in 1841. He died in office a month later. Mr. Truman Is proud of the fact that he exercises regularly and keeps in good physical condition. But, he has said many times the presidency is a gruelling job.
Final Decision Not Made Sabath said he does not believe Mr. Truman has made a final decision yet. He added that he could not see how Mr. Truman could refuse to be a candidate.
Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, the only announced candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, carried his campaign into Illinois today with a speech in w’hich he said that “the corrupt politician” threatens the democratic system on the home front “just as the communist threatens it on another front.”
Wants Senate Seat W. Stuart Symington, retiring head of the RFC said after a talk with President Truman he is “more interested” in running for the Senate from Missouri. He said Mr. Truman didn’t urge him to rim but they talked about the race and the possibility of Symington getting into it.

“Hands Tied”
Detective K. J. Hamilton at the Los Angeles Police’s University station said that the police knew nothing of the robbery.
“Our hands are tied,’" Detective Hamilton said. “We can’t do a thing until those that lost their trophies make a complaint and sign to prosecute.
“The root of all evil, so far as the fraternity houses are concerned, is that they are always open. Anyone can walk right In and help themselves.” the detective said. Reactions from the Row, however, Continued on Page 4

Consul Plays Downtown
“The Consul.’’ Gian-Carlo Men-otti’s opera which has been so successful in its SC showings, will be presented eight times at the Philharmonic auditorium Mar. 10 through 15.
Thought to be the first time that an SC production has appeared commercially off campus, the opera will again be directed by Carl Ebert, head of the SC opera department.
The cast will also remain the same as it was during its two SC rims, Peggy Bonini and Phyllis Al-thof will alternate as Magda So-rel, and Duncan McLeod will sing the male lead.
“The Consul” is a suspense tragedy about a woman in a totalitarian European state. She tries to rejoin her husband who has escaped to a free country. The barrier keeping them apart is the consul.
The consul is red tape to the nth degree. Although he never appears in the opera, the effects of his policies dominate the theme of it.
Regular performances will be at 8:30, with matinees at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday and Saturday. The run will be under the sponsorship of the Guild Opera company, Inc.
