“This contest is the game of the year for the Trojans,” Don DuBose. rally chairman, said. “A big send-off rally helped them win the ]

“Student spirit possibly made the difference in the Washington game.” Coach Jess Hill said. “The boys appreciate the student backing.”

VA Blames Cut in Staff
Fisher, Phillips to Fly To Capital; Ask For Immediate Financial Aid
by Wimpy Hiroto
Veterans enrolled at/SC under the GI Bill of Rights, PL 346, will not draw their first subsistence check until January 1952. A few “lucky ones” might get their first check in December.
The delay has been blamed on reduced VA personnel.
The number of employees tapered,	M	^
off as the work slacked. Yet when applications rose sharply prior to the 25 July deadline date to commence training under the GI Bill, the Los Angeles VA was again ordered to decrease the number of employees. Despite the influx of applications, professional and clerical workers were reduced from a paltry 235 to a trifling 167 on Oct. 16. A backlog of 20,003 to 25,000 applications has piled up . man on the bottom doesn't stand a chance.

A $5000 check for research and training for the rubber industry has been presented to President Fred D. Fagg Jr. by Robert D. Abbott, chairman of the Los Angeles Rubber Group, Inc.
Rubber companies in Los Angeles will buy equipment for the SC School oi Engineering, which will offer a major in rubber engineering to train men for jobs in the rubber* industry.
Willis S. Duniway, SC Press Relations manager, said $95,000 more

A campus library of information in the field of rubber, and a research center of national importance will be established by the Los Angeles Rubber Technology foundation. Results of experiments here will be available tor the industry.
“Los Angeles is the rubber capital of the West and second largest rubber center in the nation,” said Abbott.
“Annual wages in the industry

nual gross production is in excess of $150,000,000.
“The possibilities of the Los Angeles area as a rubber manufacturing center were recognized by major rubber companies as far back as the 1920's when they established factories here.
“During the past five years, 14 new rubber manufacturing plants have been built in the southern California area, and 22 plants have expanded their facilities to meet the ever increasing demand for Pacific Coast products,” Abbott concluded.

StudentJailed By Mistake'
Abdul-Wahab Al-Ghadeer, junior foreign trade student from Bagdad, Iraq, was jailed yesterday, but it all seems to be a mistake.
Because of a violent misunderstanding resulting in a fight on Sept. 15 between Al-Ghadeer and his friend Michel Koueiter, a Syrian student at Los Angeles City college, Koueiter filed a complaint that resulted in the arrest of Al-Ghadeer for suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. After careful consideration of the step he had taken, Koueiter decided to withdraw the complaint—but he was unaware of the technical procedure involved.
As a result, the complaint was not officially dropped, and Al-Ghadeer was taken into custody while walking near the SC campus.
This was the explanation offered by Dr. Albert Zech, dean of men, who nas made a thorough investigation of the case.
One more complication was added yesterday to the confusion. Koueiter has moved, and Dr. Zech has been unable to locate him to inform him that he must appear in court to withdraw the complaint.
Dr. Zech thinks that Koueiter should be located shortly, that he will withdraw the complaint, and thereby free Al-.Ghadeer from the maze of red tape which now keeps him in jail.

[Troy's colorful cards will be tmsported to Cal this weekend half-time card stunts at the 1-6C game. The Trojan Knights |ve assembled 12 new stunts to Kplay to the Bears. Jack Owen, bight president said.
[The first stunt will be a cardinal superimposed on a gold **C”. ins will be a flip stunt which lien reversed will have the letters 1 oppos.ie color?. Stunt No. 2 ji! be a big gold “C " with blue ■hilling cutting through it. The lird stunt will be dedicated to Nations week.
Other stunts include tlie word "Bears” in block letters on a blue field, a picture of Oakie, Cal mascot; a red and white checkerboard background and with a gold “Troy.”
Still more tricks will include a Trojan helmet, and the signature stunt on a white background thic time instead of the usual green.
A special stunt will be featured in which a block “C ’ will appear with a blue outline. Numbers will be called off and a black “X" will
be formed cutting through the letter. In the follow-up stunt the block “C” will disappear and the letters “SC” will take its place.
According to Owen, the card section will be composed of 36 rows with 48 seats to each row. This is the reverse of what it has been previous to this game. Owen stated that this would enable clever effects such as shadowing.
Gwen also said that the rooters should slrive for perfection in' the remaining games in preparation for the Notre Dame tussle which will be televised.
Official Tommy Gets Notice New Cloak
The University and the ASSC Senate have arranged for special student trains to the California game in Berkeley, Saturday, Oct. 20. The trains will leave Los Angeles on Friday evening.

Bernard L. Hyink Dean of Students
On the premise that when the cat is away the boys from UCLA will play, Tommy Trojan went under cover of canvas yesterday.
Workmen from Operations and Maintenance, with dulled paint-scrapers in readiness, cloaked Tommy who is generally the most colorful guy on campus during certain weeks of the football season.
Last year the covering-up job i was fruitless, however, for vandals I cut the ropes and splattered the I statue with paint anyway.
