The Lancers'
New Unit To Boost Bandsmen
Not content with having the Tinest university marching band on he West Coast, director Clarence whill and assistant director Tonify Walker have formulated plans or a new marching unit, the Troian Lancers.
Thirty selected men will march as an auxiliary unit of the band uring half-time activities of home ootball games. They will wear -epular band uniforms and hel-nets, and carry’ lances to sym -ize the Trojan theme.
Men interested in becoming a rt of the new outfit may contact Walker Thursday at 3 on the ntal field.
Walker would also like any mu-icians to contact Sawhill or him-
«f.
Filler Up
“Although the Lancers will help 'ill our marching formations, more nusicians are still needed." said talker.
Walker or Sawhill can be con-acted in tlie instrumental organisations building.
“No musical ability is needed to e a Lancer,” Walker said. “All •e ask is that the men be willing rehearse Fridays from 3:15 to p.m. and Saturdays at 9 pjn. •The idea for the Lancers came us when we realized that we iere 20 men short in the band .self,” Walker said, “but it ap-rars that the organization we have e\ised to fill in the empty spaces rill be something really worth-•hile."
Independence Maybe
Walkw hopes the Lancers will a precision inarching unit independent of the band before the season is over. “We feel that the 'rojan Lancers could become a very leasant tradition here at school, •or there are several situations ihere they could be paraded to dvantage.” he said.
“Lr.ncers will receive all the bene-itc given to regular members of he band.” Walker said. Included •ill be free tickets to the games, nd a trip to Berkeley Tor the Cal rame,” Walker concluded.
Rooters Going Progressive ★ ★★★★★ Two New Yells
Don Scott, vociferous SC yell king, is not one to be left behind in the progressive movements which have accompanied Coach Jess Hill’s regime as football leader at Troy. Scott announced yesterday two ne«’ yells to be used in the Tooting section during Saturday’s doubleheader in the Coliseum.
“Co-operation in the rooting section has been great,” Scott said hoarsely, “and I’m sure that these yells will add to spurring the team on SaturdayM
So that students may participate in encouraging the Trojans, the DT has printed the following cheers devised by Scott and his assistants:

Fall Enrollment Mark Reaches
18.857
Total registration for the fall semester at SC has reached 18,857 students.
This figure represents a drop of 1496 students as compared with the fall semester of 1950, and a decrease of 3601 in relation to fall semester 1949. W. E. Hall, assistant registrar, pointed out that these registration figures are not complete, therefore, they may be revised.
A breakdown of the 18,857 enrollment reveals that University college has 7558 students registered, while 11,229 students have signed for day classes.
“Enrolled in all branches of SC are 10,078 veterans” tentatively stated C. S. Jameson, assistant registrar for Veterans Affairs. An evaluation of this figure reveals that 229 veterans are registered under Public Law 16, 8250 under F.L. 346, 1314 under the state Veterans’ program, and 225 on a'deferred tuition status.
“New students number an estimated 4000,” reported Herman J. Sheffield, director of admissions and registration. This represents a decrease of 700 students or 17% in comparison with the fall semester 1950, and a drop of 22% or 1100 students in relation to fall semester 1949.
As can be seen, there has been a general downward trend in registration for the last two years. This is said to be due chiefly to the draft and drop in veterans registration.

In Washington, three federal tax collectors and a Labor department wage-hour investigator, testifying beiore a Senate investigating committee, have admitted accepting cash ‘‘commissions' or handsome gifts from the American Lithofold Corporation, but none of them felt it was improper. One, James B. Olson of New York, said that it was prevalent practice for federal \ax officials to have “outside businesses’’ such as lining up printing contracts for Lithofold.
A spokesman later told reporters i that the Internal Revenue bureau
has strict rules forbidding its employees to accept any “outside employment” without official permission in advance, and that permission is not granted in any case where the outside employment “might conceivably affect the official action” of the tax agent.

The lights on the statue of Tommy Trojr.n as well as those for the Bovard auditorium stage are blacked out these days—and of bulbsnatchers.
Custcm-made lighting is being installed by Bob Guerin, chief university electrician, and William C. White, Bovard auditorium house manager.
“One outstanding feature of the new installation will be a complete plug-in system,” White said. “This means that any light can be hooked into any dimmer. No dimmers, with the exception of the house light dimmer, will be connected permanently,” he added.
Long unused footlights have been repainted and repaired, and a few' new ones will be added. Other equipment will be repaired and repainted before being used again.
Bovard auditorium was originally designed as a chapel with the present- stage as the choir loft. Bovard productions have had this obstacle to cope with in presen ting their shows, White said.
With the improved lighting system, White hopes that keeping performers in the spotlight will be an easier job.
