An error in yesterday’s Daily Trojan led seniors in a mad dash to the ticket office on University avenue to claim assertedlv free tickets to the SC-Notre Dame football game. The tickets weren’t free as reported in the DT. The office was only giving away ticket-like reservations for seats in the senior section for Saturday’s game upon presentation of the senior’s activity card. ’’tsterday seniors accompanied with activity books picked up more than 300 seat reservations, a spokesman in the ticket office said. T.he four auditors who supervised the judging were Russell E. Ward, editor of tne DT; Marshal Fisher, queen contest judging chairman; Jim Strode, and WJiam Walbert. The selection of the queen was called a “very dificult decision,” by Bartholomew. It was so difficult two contestants won an equal number of points, and a run-off had to be held back stage, he said. Dorothy Fucci and Miss Merkley were the run-off candidates. Miss Merkley was finally chosen as an attendant. The contest was tape recorded by KUSC for broadcast.

Fifteen acts by men of Troy will one morning to find all the smog gone forever. On the contrary, according to Robert L. Chass, assistant director of the Air Pollution Control district, it will be a long time before an Angeleno can rise from bed and take great gulps of air into his lungs without doubling over in a fit of coughing. But, said Chass in a DT interview, progress is being made. “Since April, 1948,” he said, “35. alty.

The university has a ruling that there will be no serenades after 10:15 p.m. persed and smog attacks are less frequent and severe than a year ago. One day it will all be gone but it will be done gradually.” In a contrast to this opinion, that there would always be smog in Los Angeles. But he said that Air Pollution Control heads were definitely making progress. Dr. Vivian said that there was no one solution, and that to deal with the problem effectively, every industrial plant, car exhaust, and incinerator must be controlled. He suggested that all burnable material be destroyed in one place rather than each family owning an incinerator. So it seems as if kleenex and handkerchiefs will still be in order for a while at least. Dance Bids Sent in Error To Be Canceled The extra bids to the Homeccm-ing dance, given away by mistake, will be canceled according to Tom Hall and Mai Morris, co-chaim en of the dance committee. Eighteen envelopes were mailed out at the beginning of the drive, but owing to a clerical error, two bids were inserted instead of the one which was paid for. Only four of the bids have been returned since a DT article explain ed the mistake, said Hall. The envelopes contained tickets in the 800 series, that were paid for, and tickets in the 1200 to 1250 series which were not. The 1200 to 1250 series will not be honored at the gate according to Hall. Hall said that members of the Delta Sigma P.hi, spent four hours going over the numbers to ascertain which tickets had been given away by mistake. Morris announced that the Freshman class council will start decorating the Legion hall tomorrow for the big dance. The decoration theme for the million-dollar hall will be Grecian with Doric columns, and all the splendor of ancient Troy, Morris said. Charlie Bamet and Paul Neigh bors will provide music with contrasting tempos for the dancers. Streams of cardinal and gold light will play in the sky from two| searchlights at the entrance of the hall, which is fronted by a cannon and broad terraces. The building is described by Morris as the “most fabulous Legion hall in the country.” All facilities of the hall will be in operation for the dance, and there will be a floor show featuring Hollywood talent, Hall said. Parking space is available on paved lots around the building. Tickets for the dance are on sale today at $3.60 per couple. feature satires on college life, Broadway musicals, plays, and historical events. Trojans will present six acts filled with song and dance. Orbach's department store has donated a cup to be presented to the best male skit. The Tree House, women’s dress shop on campus, has given a trophy for the outstanding women's act. Judges for Trolios will be Donna Ogier, hoitiecoming queen and Virginia Tongue.

Roosevelt will probably rank with Jefferson and Lincoln in American history, but the formation of a “Roosevelt legend” may be deferred for several generations, if it occurs at all. These were the opinions voiced by Dr. Arthur R. Kooker, associate professor of history, in his lecture on “The Roosevelt Legend” yesterday. . Dr. Kooker contrasted the possible “Roosevelt legend” with the deification of Lincoln, and asserted that FDR had “too little emotional appeal” to be immortalized as Lincoln has been. - He also cited the “well-planned and possibly well-organized attempt to blame Roosevelt for every present ill, and to see Truman only as the inheritor of the ‘dragon’s teeth’.” Lincoln and FDR Comparing the two men, Dr. Kooker pointed out the similarities in their political careers and personal lives. “Both were the master politicians of their ages and both had an element of personal tragedy in their lives. Both men assumed office at a moment in which the nation faced a great crisis; both were in office during a long and costly war; and both died just when their effort were urgently needed for recovery.” He pointed out differences between Roosevelt and Lincoln which may not win for the former the mantle of glory. He cited Lincoln’s earthy humor as compared with FDR's glib wit, and Lincoln's famous romance with Ann Rutledge against Roosevelt’s happy and normal marriage. Appearance Against FDR Also, Dr. Kooker continued, FDR's appearance is against him. “Roose- Trovet Donates Poster Material The Living War Memorial received $100 worth of display boards yesterday, contributed by Dave Reids, chairman of the Trovet donations committee. The posters will carry the slogan “Pay the Debt.” The memorial scholarship fund was started in 1943 by the Trovets, with the idea that giving scholarships to war orphans of former Trojans was a more practical and fitting tribute than the erection of a mon-ament to Trojans who died in the last war, said Floyd McCann. Trovet president. McCann said that the first scholarship will be awarded as soon as the Trovets have collected $10,000. This quota will undoubtedly be reached early in this year’s drive, but we hope to add $20,000 to the fund so that the interest on the money will pay for the first scholarship, he said. If this year’s quota is not reached, the scholarship will have to be paid for out of the principal, thus eliminating the fund in future years, McCann said. “The money from the drive is turned over to the university for keeping, where it draws the average interest of money invested by the university,” he said. The week-long drive, beginning Monday, includes plans for a parade down University avenue, two showings of SC football films, a talent show in Bovard auditorium, and posters placed around campus. Help in making posters and collecting donations for the drive i■ still needed, McCann said.

A Phi O Still Homeless Alpha Phi Omega members, long accustomed to doing good turns for others, yesterday decided the time had come to do something for themselves. The SC members of the national service fraternity, who have been seeking a Student Union office to call their own for several semesters, were informed at their meeting yesterday that they are still homeless. Al Katz, reporting on the situation, said that second-floor and third-floor offices have been promised to the group by the Student Union committee. The second-floor promise was canceled. M. S. Malik, SU committee chairman, would not comment on the proposed third-floor office. Katz said. The chapter's president said, “Alpha Phi Omega has been playing second fiddle too long. The time has come for APO to get a fair treatment as a reward for the job it is doing at 9C.” The “second-fiddle” reference was to the other service organizations which have offices on the second floor of the Student Union.

The university has a ruling that there will be no serenades after 10:15 p.m. persed and smog attacks are less frequent and severe than a year ago. One day it will all be gone but it will be done gradually.” In a contrast to this opinion, that there would always be smog in Los Angeles. But he said that Air Pollution Control heads were definitely making progress. Dr. Vivian said that there was no one solution, and that to deal with the problem effectively, every industrial plant, car exhaust, and incinerator must be controlled. He suggested that all burnable material be destroyed in one place rather than each family owning an incinerator. So it seems as if kleenex and handkerchiefs will still be in order for a while at least. Dance Bids Sent in Error To Be Canceled The extra bids to the Homeccm-ing dance, given away by mistake, will be canceled according to Tom Hall and Mai Morris, co-chaim en of the dance committee. Eighteen envelopes were mailed out at the beginning of the drive, but owing to a clerical error, two bids were inserted instead of the one which was paid for. Only four of the bids have been returned since a DT article explain ed the mistake, said Hall. The envelopes contained tickets in the 800 series, that were paid for, and tickets in the 1200 to 1250 series which were not. The 1200 to 1250 series will not be honored at the gate according to Hall. Hall said that members of the Delta Sigma P.hi, spent four hours going over the numbers to ascertain which tickets had been given away by mistake. Morris announced that the Freshman class council will start decorating the Legion hall tomorrow for the big dance. The decoration theme for the million-dollar hall will be Grecian with Doric columns, and all the splendor of ancient Troy, Morris said. Charlie Bamet and Paul Neigh bors will provide music with contrasting tempos for the dancers. Streams of cardinal and gold light will play in the sky from two| searchlights at the entrance of the hall, which is fronted by a cannon and broad terraces. The building is described by Morris as the “most fabulous Legion hall in the country.” All facilities of the hall will be in operation for the dance, and there will be a floor show featuring Hollywood talent, Hall said. Parking space is available on paved lots around the building. Tickets for the dance are on sale today at $3.60 per couple. feature satires on college life, Broadway musicals, plays, and historical events. Trojans will present six acts filled with song and dance. Orbach's department store has donated a cup to be presented to the best male skit. The Tree House, women’s dress shop on campus, has given a trophy for the outstanding women's act. Judges for Trolios will be Donna Ogier, hoitiecoming queen and Virginia Tongue.

Roosevelt will probably rank with Jefferson and Lincoln in American history, but the formation of a “Roosevelt legend” may be deferred for several generations, if it occurs at all. These were the opinions voiced by Dr. Arthur R. Kooker, associate professor of history, in his lecture on “The Roosevelt Legend” yesterday. . Dr. Kooker contrasted the possible “Roosevelt legend” with the deification of Lincoln, and asserted that FDR had “too little emotional appeal” to be immortalized as Lincoln has been. - He also cited the “well-planned and possibly well-organized attempt to blame Roosevelt for every present ill, and to see Truman only as the inheritor of the ‘dragon’s teeth’.” Lincoln and FDR Comparing the two men, Dr. Kooker pointed out the similarities in their political careers and personal lives. “Both were the master politicians of their ages and both had an element of personal tragedy in their lives. Both men assumed office at a moment in which the nation faced a great crisis; both were in office during a long and costly war; and both died just when their effort were urgently needed for recovery.” He pointed out differences between Roosevelt and Lincoln which may not win for the former the mantle of glory. He cited Lincoln’s earthy humor as compared with FDR's glib wit, and Lincoln's famous romance with Ann Rutledge against Roosevelt’s happy and normal marriage. Appearance Against FDR Also, Dr. Kooker continued, FDR's appearance is against him. “Roose- Trovet Donates Poster Material The Living War Memorial received $100 worth of display boards yesterday, contributed by Dave Reids, chairman of the Trovet donations committee. The posters will carry the slogan “Pay the Debt.” The memorial scholarship fund was started in 1943 by the Trovets, with the idea that giving scholarships to war orphans of former Trojans was a more practical and fitting tribute than the erection of a mon-ament to Trojans who died in the last war, said Floyd McCann. Trovet president. McCann said that the first scholarship will be awarded as soon as the Trovets have collected $10,000. This quota will undoubtedly be reached early in this year’s drive, but we hope to add $20,000 to the fund so that the interest on the money will pay for the first scholarship, he said. If this year’s quota is not reached, the scholarship will have to be paid for out of the principal, thus eliminating the fund in future years, McCann said. “The money from the drive is turned over to the university for keeping, where it draws the average interest of money invested by the university,” he said. The week-long drive, beginning Monday, includes plans for a parade down University avenue, two showings of SC football films, a talent show in Bovard auditorium, and posters placed around campus. Help in making posters and collecting donations for the drive i■ still needed, McCann said.

A Phi O Still Homeless Alpha Phi Omega members, long accustomed to doing good turns for others, yesterday decided the time had come to do something for themselves. The SC members of the national service fraternity, who have been seeking a Student Union office to call their own for several semesters, were informed at their meeting yesterday that they are still homeless. Al Katz, reporting on the situation, said that second-floor and third-floor offices have been promised to the group by the Student Union committee. The second-floor promise was canceled. M. S. Malik, SU committee chairman, would not comment on the proposed third-floor office. Katz said. The chapter's president said, “Alpha Phi Omega has been playing second fiddle too long. The time has come for APO to get a fair treatment as a reward for the job it is doing at 9C.” The “second-fiddle” reference was to the other service organizations which have offices on the second floor of the Student Union. |
