After a brief tribute to the 71st nniversary of the University’s .unding and a backward glance at is warm associations here he unched into a frank discussion of e unprecedented world problem? ,cxng us as a nation.

He declared that he wanted all mericans, our friends overseas, nd our Communist antagonists to now and appreciate that our rent technological developments in e atomic weapons field are so reat that fundamental concepts of hat atomic warfare is and what might mean to us must undergo revolutionary change.
“Because of our great technolog-strides.” he said, “we are now ntering an cra when the quantities f atomic weapons available to us •ill be so great, and the types so aried, that we may utilize them in 'any different ways heretofore not ssible.”

We are entering an era in which must think of the use of atomic eapons for tactical purposes by Ur armed forces—and not against ivilian targets. Gordon Dean, hairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, said Friday.

Geodge TireDlter II is missing.
Troy’s turbulent mascot, second in the much-berated line of Tirebiters, was found missing early Friday morning when his keepers went to the mutt’s campus dwelling place to escort him to the dawn send-off rally for the Trojan football team.
Sig Ep President Don DuBose reported George’s absence at 7:30 a.m. Friday. He said he and Bud Templeton went to the residence of Harry Ballard, proprietor of a | local donut shop, to pick the dog up and take him to the rally. It I was then they noticed he was gone.
Ballard said the pup was last seen 30 minutes before when his housekeeper said she let him out into the fenced back yard.
“He must have been taken some time during the half-hour he was in the yard alone,” Ballard concluded.
The gate to the yard was securely latched, Ballard said, but not locked. He said there was no way the missing mascot could have gotten out without help.
Phone calls to the city pound, the SPCA, the Ann street shelter, and local police netted no further information as to George's whereabouts.
Campus figures, speculating on the most likely cause of Tirebiter s disappearance, immediately made mention of another local educational institution. They recalled the days when the original George Tire biter mysteriously vanished and was found several days later in a doped condition with the letters “UCLA” shaved in his hide.
While a Friday afternoon phone call to the UCLA Daily Bruin re vealed nothing, it did furnish a considerable amount of hilarity for the Daily Trojan staff.
A DT reporter disguising himself as a fictitious member of a West wood fraternity house, called the Bruin and reported a rumor that .“we” (the Bruins) had stolen Tirebiter.	,
“Some of the boys in the house told me about it,” he said. ‘ We’d like to get in on the fun. Where is the mongrel?”
“What do you mean?” answered the Bruin city editor. “I thought Tirebiter was dead.”
The DT reporter explained he thought the Trojans had a new Tirebiter. They called him George Jr.. or something like that, he said.
(Continued on page 4)
There is still a very good possibility that we will have more TV sets installed on campus for at least part of the World Series, Bernard Hyink, dean of stu-deifts, said Friday.
General Electric, Platt Radio stores, and Hoffman television corporation have been contacted, but no definite reply has been received as yet, he said.
Television sets located in Willard hall, Aeneas hall, and thc Varsity lounge have ^attracted many viewers during the last few days.

Clips Huskies in First Big Contest
by Kent Milton Daily Trojan Sports Editor
The Trojans defeated Washington Saturday, 20-13.
Many of those who saw the game said it was an upset.
But to 37 gallant Trojans, who played what Jess Hill himself would call “football up to the hilt,” the victory was assured in their hearts from the moment they stepped upon the slippery Washington stadium turf.
PetitionsReady Homecoming For Freshmen Queen Sought
Petitions for freshman class offices of president and vice-president may be secured in Dr. Alex Aloia’s' office, 228 Student Union. Elections will be held Oct. 24-25.

Freshmen enrolled in day classes who are carrying 12 or more units are eligible for either of the two positions. Since entering freshmen have no university grade average, there is no scholastic qualification.

ore he said that we are building new atomic production plants, indicating an increased supply of uranium. Significant progress has been made in the Colorado Plateau region especially, he added.
Asked the hypothetical question on what the U.S. would do with its stockpile of uranium if after 10 years war is no longer imminent, he replied:
“Its as7 good as the gold in Fort Knox.-’
Recent atomic activity in, the Salton Sea area caused the question to be raised of whether atomic tests wiil take place there.
“Las Vegas is the only spot on the continent where there will be atomic explosions.” Dean answered.
“Explosions in the Las Vegas testing ground have proved that cars offer sufficient protection, and their abandonment is not warranted, in case of attack as was previously advised. Roll down the windows so the glass won’t shatter, and cover your face and etes while lying on the rear seat, ’ he added.

Jim Bockman, queen chairman, announced at the first Homecoming committee meeting last week the plans for selection of the Homecoming queen.
Although formal announcement of the rules for the method of selecting *the queen will not be announced until tomorrow. Bockman urges all living groups to select their candidates today. The main change over last year's queen contest will be the way in which the queen is choyn.
A coed must have completed an equivalent of two semesters work here at SC in order to be eligible for a queen candidate, said Bockman. This is the only qualification necessary.
Many outstanding activities have been planned for the queen and her attendants. Beirrg one of the most publicized queen contests at SC. the committee has been hard at work planning for the big week.
“Much work and effort has gone into the preparation of making this homecoming week a regal one,” said Bockman.
SC beat the Huskies, and beat them in every way possible. Troy’s running was better, its passing was better, its defense was better—but perhaps more important, the Trojans went to Seattle to win a football game and you can't beat a team that goes in knowing it will win.
Washington wasn't defeated by overconfidence, it just ran up against a better team. Perhaps the most significant comment came from .Huskie Coach Howie Odell, who said the Trojans were the “best team we've played since I've been here.” That's a mouthful when you stop to think that Odell has met PCC champ California several times in his four-year span at Washington and, last year, Big Ten toughie Illinois, to mention just two.
Saturday’s win was a team triumph. And it had to be. You don’t stop Hugh McElhenny with a 1.4 (continued on page three)
