Trojan Knights and the Squires have volunteered to make the classroom collections.
“Letters are being sent,out to all university societies, organizations, and clubs urging them to generously contribute,” Hildenbrand said.

Snell Kicked Out of Kat's Krazy Kage

The new editor of the Wampus will be appointed by the Student Board of Publications. The $250 will be used by the new editor for the next Wampus..

No Gambling 'System' Says Math Professor
The gambler with a system is no better off than one who just bets at random, Bernard Sherman, assistant professor of mathematics, said yesterday during a lecture on the “Impossibility of a Gambling System.” To back up his statement Sherman explained and proved a long and complicated theorem which proves mathematical-
ly that there is no such thing as a gambling system.
“This theorem applies only to gambling that involves no skill,” Sherman said, “It would not apply, for instance, in horse racing, since the skill of the jockey, the ability of the horse, or a muddy track, may be taken into consideration.
Use Strategy “If you have a set amount of money to bet, and a set amount that you want to win, then a certain amount of strategy can be used,” Sherman said. “If you want to win $1000 then you should begin with $1000, and quit when you win or lose the original amount.” Greed usually proves to be the gambler’s undoing every time,” Sherman said.
“There is little chance of winning $1000 if you start with $10, however."
Gambling takes time and isn’t worth it, Sherman has concluded after much study.
Impossible The first gambling system was proposed by a gambler in the 17th century. The impossibility of a system was proven ln 1919 by Richard Von Mises, presently a mathematics professor at Harvard.
Yesterday’s lecture was second of a series to be given by Sherman. Next week he plans to discuss further the strategy of gambling.
Sherman is a graduate of Brooklyn college and Princeton university, taught at the University of Vermont, and has been on the SC faculty for two years.
He was a combat soldier in World War II with the 747th tank battalion during the Normandy invasion.

price for the game. Hours of sale will be from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. only on Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 4-10, inclusive.
A total of 5600-plus tickets will be available for students with activity books. One rooters’ ticket will be allowed each book holder, whether held by a student or a student's spouse.
University College students who have activity books will be able to buy rooters’ tickets Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 8, 9 and 10, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the regular ticket office on the second floor of the Student Union building.
If a student presents a book which is obviously not his. Morley said, the book will be picked up by the ticket office and no Rose Bowl ticket will be issued to the person presenting such a book.
Students who did not buy activity books this fall (their fee bills will be checked for proof) will be able to apply for tickets in a block of seats which will be placed on sale at a time and place to be announced later. TTiese seats, which will not be in the rooters’ section, will cost $5.50 each, the regular price for the game. Faculty Tickets Faculty members who bought season tickets this fall will be able to apply for Rose Bowl tickets at a time and place which will be announced in the next few days.
Students who have lost their activity books will have to file an application for a new book. This process will start next Monday in store space formerly occupied by the SC Cleaners on the northeast corner of 35th street and University avenue.
Fee bills will be checked to determine if an activity book has been sold to students who have lost their books. If the fee bill shows that a book was sold and no Rose Bowl* ticket has been claimed on the original book, a new book will be issued and a rooters' ticket sold to the student. Special Fee A special $3 fee will be collected for issuance of a new activity book. Thus the Rose Bowl ticket will cost $5.75 (25 cents over the regular game price) fo students who have lost their activity books.
If the fee bill check discloses that no activity book was sold to the student this fall, his application for a new book will be denied. If the fee bill shows that a book was sold, but if a Rose Bowl ticket has also been sold against the original book, application fpr a new book will be denied.
There has been no ticket allocation made for faculty members who are not regular season ticket holders this fall.
