defenses between tbp Austrian and German frontiers to prevent Nazi invasion.
Meets Hitler Hitler, in an attempt to halt this defensive move, called a meting with the Austrian chancellor at his Berchtesgaden mountain hide-away. He asked the chancellor to eliminate the border altogether, but von Schusch-nigg refused to sign any agreement which would threaten the safety of his country. Finally, after Hitler's threat of an early invasion, the chancellor signed.
Hitler then succeeded in appointing Seyss-Inquart as the Minister of Security in the Austrian cabinet and ordered him to spread Nazism among the other members of the Cabinet to split the government.
Movement Defeated Von Schuschnigg, in a last effort to save Austria from Nazi rule, formed a plebiscite with the intention of letting the people decide, by vote, which government they preferred. The Nazi movement was defeated.
In retaliation, the Germans closed the frontier at Salszburg and customs offices were shut down.
The Nazis asked von Schuschnigg to either resign and install Seyss as Chancellor or to expect an invasion. After von Schusch-nigg’s refusal of these demands, the Germans marched into Austria.

CAL SENDS APOLOGY FOR 'LIVELY' ROOTERS
A letter, apologizing for the unsportsmanlike conduct of the Cal rooting section last Saturday, was received today from Ralph Vetterlein, president of the Associated Students of the University of California.
Addressed to Tommy Walker, director of the Trojan Band, the letter “expressed the regrets of the executive committee of the Associated Students of the University of California at the treatment you received during the half-time of our football game.
“Needless to say,” the letter said, “the students on our campus are very upset after witnessing the pnsports-manlike conduct of a few harrow minded individuals sitting in our rooting section.
“May I assure you that such a demonstration will not occur again in future games.”
The California rooting section threw bottles, oranges and other debris it the Trojan band at Berkeley between the halves of the SC-California football game.

The Daily Californian, Cal’s counterpart» to the Daily
Trojan, blasted the Cal all-male----------------------------------------
rooting section for its poor con- ' duct at the SC game. The repri- I mand came in an editorial last Tuesday, and recommended banning the exclusively male section for a co-educational set-up.
Only One Solution
The Californian 6tated that they “see only one solution to the recurring problem of what to do about the erring knights of the east-side pews—a mixed rooting section throughout.

day as to their position in the noon parade and other details of the Theta Xi sponsored affair.
Entries are still being received for women participants. All women, whether in a fraternity entry or not, should inform Darbonne by noon tomorrow that they intend to enter.
“We would like to know how many women will be in the parade and where they will be so that the judges can more easily judge who has what costume on,” Darbonne explained.
A “beautiful” 32-inch trophy will be awarded to the winning fraternity and another trophy will go to the woman who wears the mdst symbolic costume. Both a-wards will be made at Thursday night’s Trolios show.
Those fraternities which turned in entry forms by the deadline are Beta Theta Pi, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Chi, Lambda Chi Alpha, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Aupha Epsilon, Sigma Nu, Sigma Phi Delta, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Tau Epsilon Phi, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Sigma Kappa, and Theta Xi.
University Avenue, scene of the parade, will be blocked off to traffic during Thursdays noon hour so that the parade can be run off smoothly. Darbonne asks that stu-dents cooperate in keeping the street free of traffic.
Although Theta Xi will probably enter the parade itself, they will not be eligible to win the fraternity prize.
Flapper Day is being revived this year by Theta Xi, which won the last Flapper Day award in 1950 and placed high in the previous year’s competition.
All of the fraternity entries are eligible to appear in the Homecoming parade Friday night.
This power plant is just one peacetime application of atomic energy to be disucssed by Dr. Starr. His speech will also point out such future problems as the
replacement of coal and oil by
atomic power.
Open house will be held at the engineering building from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. for alumni, students, and faculty.
Dinner will follow at the Town and Gown Foyer with Dr. Starr, President Fred D. Fagg Jr., and Coach Jess Hill as special guests.
Hill and his coaching staff will talk about the Homecoming game with Stafford.______________

“Meeting deaf ears, the pleas of the yell leaders were not enough to quiet the overexuberent, childish and extrovertic talent which thoroughly botched Cal’s attempts to present a record of good sportsmanship in the stands as clean as that practiced by the 11 men on the field,” the editorial said.
Psychology and Liquor
The Californian editors felt
that the presence of women in the rooting section would “remove some of the rougher manifestations of unsavory conduct.” They noted that the ribald rooters were not all thumbs, when it came to spontaneous cheers in defiance of the Trojans.
Another article in the Cal paper said the men in the rooting section were attacked by the ASUC Executive committee. The committee blamed the conduct on
male students.’
