“These faults, located East of Bakersfield near Arvin, will continue with decreasing intensity, however,” Dr..Clements said. “It is much more likely that quakes will occur along these faults, as once a fault is active, it usually continues to be so for some time,” Dr. Clements said.
The W’hite Wolf fault has not been active since July 21. The approximate center of the big quake was Bear Mountain, he added. These faults are relatively new’ and have considerably weakened the surrounding territory.
One Million Years Old The San Andreas fault which is also new, geologically speaking— 1,000,000 years old—hasn’t been active since the big jolt in Imperial Valley in 1910. The Inglewood fault has also been dormant since the 1932 quake which devastated Long Beach, South Gate and Compton.
While the quakes usually occur in present active faults, there is no definite way of knowing when a new one will develop, Dr. Clements said. The ones that have been dormant for years may even start up again.
Earthquakes naturally occur in semi-tropical California, and we will have to resign ourselves to this, he added. The July, 1952, quake was felt from Mexico to Canada, and if it had been in a heavily populated area, the destruction would have been tremendous.

Former AEC Chief Tells Atom Story
Gordon Dean, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission for three years during the Truman administration, has recently written a comprehensive report on the United States atomic energy development program, entitled “Report on the Atom.”
Dean, who was graduated from SC in 1930, tells in his book of the various atom projects and explains w’hy the atomic program will soon cost the nation $10 billion.
The information is presented to the public in a factual, nontechnical manner. Dean relates his varied experiences with the commission with clear, interesting descriptions.
The myth of US monopoly in the atom bomb field is exposed by the book, as well as that of the Soviet Union gaining all her atomic knowledge through spy rings and espionage.
“Report on the Atom’’ is illustrated and contains 321 pages. It is nowr available at the university bookstore at $5 per copy.
ROSALIND WIENER . . . councilwoman
Faculty Told Wiener Stand On Politics
by Jerry Autry
Councilwoman Rosalind Wiener told the Faculty Club her position on politics and some other principles of democracy yesterday.
“If a person can’t be honest with himself and the people he represents, he has no business in an elective office,” Miss Wiener said, after reading a prepared statement she had previously read before the city council.
Prepared Statement The prepared statement dealt with her negative vote on the seating of Mrs. Justus Kirby on the City Library Commission. Miss Wiener said, “I cannot vote for the confirmation of Mrs. Justus Kirby to the City Library Commission without her assurance that she believes in the freedom to read—full and unabridged.” Miss Wiener, in her informal talk at the weekly club luncheon, said that regardless of what the press might say about her, she “was not being used by any group or element,” for any “cause” whatsoever.
Serving notice to all self-interest groups, Miss Wiener said, “they cannot shut me up.” This was in answer to certain criticisms about her sex, age and political affiliation, all of w'hich she is very proud.
Proud Being a Woman “I'm proud to be a woman and to have been elected to the City Council,” she said, “but being the first woman on the councii in 36 years, the council just wasn’t ready for me.”
Commenting on her party affiliation, Miss Wiener said emphatically, “I’m a Democrat and want to go on record as such, but I wonder how long I can remain non-partisan on the city council.
Lighter Vein
In a lighter vein, the councilwoman told of the city attorney’s ruling whereby she was to be referred to as “Madam Councilman,” and about yarious other references to her as “councilman.” She showed the assembly her regular identification badge engraved with “Councilw'oman,” along with a miniature presented to her by the city firemen. This latter one is engraved “Councilwoman.” A note which accompanied the miniature said “we respect you as such.”
Giving her reason for voting for a raise in nav for city employees, Miss Wiener said a recent study revealed the employees to be 5 per cent underpaid. This, she said, was because the city

One Shindig to Send Train Off, Others Slated for SF Square
Rally Chairman Jim Lucostic announced his Cal-game rally schedule today and observed that “if our boys win, we’ll have a ball.”
At least three rallies, one at Union Station in Los Angeles and two at San Francisco’s Union Square, are definitely set for the Berkeley weekend and “a couple of spontaneous ones” might materialize, Lucostic said. He added, “the whole idea of this packed ★ ★ ★ ★ - ★

dy,” but an overwhelming SC victory over Cal would be the match that would cause SC’s revelrous spirit to explode.
Two years ago the Trojans held a celebration in San Francisco that so impressed the northerners that they still dread the return of Troy.
It was a wonderful party, a shouting crowd of victory-drunk SC fans flooded Union Square after Troy’s victory in Strawberry Canyon.
Powell street, where the famous cable cars pass the St. Francis Hotel, was filled with the inspired rooters. A cable car was surrounded by the rooters, and as the passengers scrambled out, (San Franciscans are noted for their conservative habits) it was rudely derailed.
That started it. Taxis were stopped, the St. Francis was the victim of a “Fight on for old SC” victory march, and traditional SC bonfires and water fights began.
The police arrived when the noise finally wras heard at the nearest precinct. They probably preferred not to come at all, but the aghast town natives demanded protection from the “rowdy Southern California boys.”

These “rowdies” later were convicted of disturbing the peace, and the judge punished them by making them sing “Fight On” before the court.
This year something may save San Francisco from playing host to the “cheap crowd from Los Angeles” Something may save them from the excitement of downtown bonfires and barracad-ed streets. That something is a victory for the Golden Bears.

Vi/e Vulture's Latest Tales Reek of Filth.
The genus Vulture is a vehicle of carrion.
He collects and carries smut, filth, corruption.
He lives amidst this so he knows it well.
Certain no-goodnicks at SC have gained the confidence of the vulture that makes his home in campus keyholes, window sills, and St. James Park. The bird will sit in on the Cal game orgy.
The bird has agreed to squeal all to the shysters.
They, in turn, have agreed to publish all, smut for smut, in a sheet to splatter campus broadwalks early Wednesday morning. The sheet’s name— VULTURE.
Trovets Plan Campaign for LWM Funds
General campaign chairman of the Trovet 1953 Living War Memorial drive will be Roger Coley, Trovet President Orbun Powell announced yesterday.
The Living War Memorial campaign is held each fall to raise funds for scholarships to SC.
Positions are available for six committee chairmanships. They include publicity, projects, secretarial, collections, finance, and off-campus drive, said the Trovet president.
The new campaign chairman announced that all students, vets or not, are eligible to work on the campaign.
Applications for positions are available at the Associated Students office, 215 SU.
“The drive will be divided into two parts,” explained Coley. On campus the campaign will be held during the week of Dc. 7 to 11.
Annual Christmas readings by Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English, and a variety show are scheduled as LWM campus projects.
“Off campus, efforts will be made to raise funds through alumni, business men, the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and service groups such as Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs,” said Coley.
The LWM was established in 1948 as a practical tribute to those who died in the armed services. The scholarship is awarded to the son or daughter of one of these men.
schedule is to keep the spirit up, both before and after the game.” Row First “Things will begin to pop at the Row first,” said Lucostic. “At 7:30 tonight we’re starting a motor caravan on the Row and at 8 we’ll leave for Union Station. When we get there we’re going to have a 20 to 30 minute rally before the train pulls out.” He added that “anybody who wants to see the Football Special off should head for Track 10.” Lucostic said that the Union Square festivities in San Francisco, with one rally before the game and one afterward, should leave all participants with rosy outlooks on life.
MMnight Rallies “Both of these rallies will be held at midnight,” he said. “Weil hold our pregame rally tomorrow night. At midnight Saturday, after we've won the game, we’ll have another. From what I've heard, we've already sold 3300 tickets, so I don't see why we can't have an easy 3000 at each rally.”
When asked if he thought this year's Cal pilgrimage might be reminiscent of previous SC trips to the Bay area, Lucostic made a hasty rejoinder, "Don’t worry, we won’t turn over any streetcars this time. I expect that some of the boyk might get a bit enthusiastic; but after ail, we only go up there once a year.”

Cal Train Still Open
SC students can still get seats on the rooters’ special. The ticket office, 3526 University Avenue, will remain open today until 4:30 p.m.
The rooters’ train leaves tomorrow at 8:16 a.m. and arrives in San Francisco at 7:15 p.m. Round trip fare is S17.60.
Less than 450 students have made reservations, according to George Moran, city passenger agent for Southern Pacific Railroad. Alumni—140 strong—have reserved compartments on an all-Pullman train, which leaves Los Angeles tomorrow night.
On the rooters’ special will be a dance car, recreational facilities, lounge and dirung cars.
In recognition of the fact that several thousand students will attend the SC-Cal game Oct. 24, University administrative officials and student body leaders have made arrangements for a special rooters’ train to Berkeley. Because of the risk involved due to	the	unusually heavy traffic on highways to the San	F ran-
cisco	area,	and	in the interest of safety it is	hoped that	many
students will take the train rather than drive their own car. The University, through the offices of the Educational \ite-President and the academic deans, is requesting that instrui*’ tors of classes where students are predominantly undergraduate not penalize students who are absent on Friday, Oct. 23. Students will assume responsibility for making up the work which
they miss in such classes.
The student rooters’ special will leave Los Angeles at 8:16 a.m. and arrive in San Francisco at 7:15 p.m. Oct. 23. The return train leave« San Francisco at 8:16 a.m. Sunday and armea at Los Angeles 7:35 p.m. The Trojan Band will ride on thU train, and plans are being made by the railroad to make this
train a typical “football special.”
