Tommy Trojan Victim of Blue and Gold Paint Job
- o_v.uViY WAS BLUE and Johnnys smiie became a Irown yesierday after a Sunday morning paint-bucket brigade's attack on the famed Trojan warrior was discovered. Reliable sources indicated that a club of cubs from a nearby hollow led the assault in the early hours while Bill Van Aistyne (left), ASSC President John Bradley (center smile), and Sareda Headley dreamed of Troy's Saturday football gieatness. Tommy's spirits changed by late afternoon, however, after experienced—very experienced—paint removers lifted his bluish-golden veil. (Courtesy L.A. Times)

Bruin Editor Complains of Sleeping Row
by Cliff Gewecke
Tommy Trojan, symbol of SC, was dealt his first paint job of the yet-early football season early Sunday morning. The identity of the culprits is not known, but if colors are any indication, they could probably be found among several thousand students in Westwood.
The brazen culprits were not satisfied with just painting Tommy.
At 3 a.m. Sunday they called several fraternity houses and said, ‘‘Go down and see what has happened to Tommy Trojan.”
Tau Kappa Epsilon was the only one to respond to the call and when several of the house members arrived on the scene, all was quiet except for T.T.'s loud coat of blue and gold paint.
Sword Wouldn’t Come Off Dick Shanks, associate editor of the Daily Bruin, called the DT office to find out what Tommy had done, to his sword. An anomynous person had asked Shanks why the sword would would not come off after he and several friends had tried to pull it off.
The reason that the sword did come off. as it had ln previous years, was simply because the university was tired of periodically replacing. the sword and ordered the sword welded on. Shanks was informed.
Four night watchman were patrol-ing the campus at the time of the incident, which occured about 2:30 a.m., but none of them detected any wrong-doing until it was too late. The campus was also well-lighted throughout the entire night and early morning.
Fraternities Lack Interest “An apparent lack of interest on the part of local fraternity boys” is Shanks' explanation for the failure of most of the houses to respond to the telephone calls. He no doubt failed to realize that most of the fellows had been out late hours and weren't overly interested in Tommy’s doings.
A crew of four painters spent four hours Sunday removing the paint from the bronze exterior of the body. Three more painters worked from 1 to 4 p.m. yesterday cleaning the paint off the sand-block bottom. Cost of the entire cleaning operation was $150.
Plastic Covering Last April, the Greater University committee discovered a new plastic covering process that will protect Tommy frcm the paint escapades.
This new process, which has a rubber base, is sprayed on, allowed to dry. and in the event of a multicolored dousing, the paint is removed by merely peeling off the transparent covering.
The proposition was passed by the Greater University committee and the ASSC Senate, and has since been sent to the Faculty Senate.
Vet Member Drive Campaign Opens
The Trovets were off to a running start in their semi-annual membership drive yesterday.
Throughout the day a steady stream of veterans could be seen around the Trovet booth set up in front of the Student Union.
Ben Hoogasian. Trovet treasurer and chairman of the membership drive, was exceedingly pleased with the opening-day response.
“More veterans are realizing the value of Trovets as a social and service organization,” • Hoogasian said.
Vets Aid
Trovets in its seven year history on the SC campus has provided invaluable aid to veterans, directly and indirectly. During the coming months several social events are planned which will interest all veterans.
Onjy requirement for membership in the group is former service in U.S. or Allied armed services. Dues are $.50 per semester.
Maintain Booth
Trovets will maintain their booth in front of the Student Union building every day this week between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
As special convenience, the National League playoffs and world series baseball games will be broadcast at the booth.
Navy Officer Graduate of SC Still at Sea
It took Capt, Clarence S. Williams 43 years to graduate from SC, but yesterday it was reported to the Daily Trojan that the captain is still nowiiere.
An anonymous correspondent, writing from the Hotel Warwick, sent the DT a page from a recent edition of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch with a picture of the 61-year-old Captain Williams dressed in cap and gown. The caption idcntif.ed the retired Naval officer as a graduate of the “University of Southern California at Berkeley.”
In the margin, the unknown writer scribbled:
“Pulitzer’s paper, too! Tsk! Tsk!”
Sendoff Rally Planned for Friday Morning
Music Tabs Available
Students are asked to pick up their tickets for the Jascha Heifetz concert and other music c6urse events, at the School of Music today, according to Alice Ray, class instructor.
Tickets for Evenings on the Roof. Music Guild performances at the Wilshire Ebell auditorium, and the Harold Byrns chamber music concerts are now available for those students taking the course.
Faculty members may also obtain their tickets at the music office. More than 340 persons have signed up for the unique course.
Student will have an opportunity to show their support of the football team at a big “Sendoff’ rally, as 7:45 Friday morning when the Trojan squad leaves for Wash ington.
The Trojan Knights, headed by President Jack Owen and Rally Chairman Don DuBose have planned a rally in front of the commons which will feature tne presence of George Tirebiter II.
For the benefit of the Row, a band will march up 28th street at 7:30 and lead the fraternity and sorority members down to school.
“Washington figures to be a major stumbling block on the Trojan schedule and a good show of rooters at the Friday send-off would bolster the team spirit considerably for this encounter,” said Owen.
Rallies of this type are traditional at SC. They serve the function of sending the Trojan footballers off in good spirits with the knowledge that the student body is Dehind them, DuBose said.
Friday morning's rally will send the Trojans off to Washington where they will meet with one of the roughest obstacles between them and that Rose Bowl game, he concluded.

Use of Own Funds Advised for Veterans
Administration Cutbacks Plus Increased GI Enrollments Hamper Allotment Deliveries
Possible delay in arrival of subsistence checks for veterans attending SC under Public Law 346 was predicted yesterday by representatives of the Veterans Administration.
Word of the delay came in the form of a prepared statement advising vets to “make certain that they have funds of their own to tide them over for at least a couple of months, sice GI subsistence checks may be late in arriving.’
The Veterans Administration release added that the VA was attempting to keep delays to a minimum by suspending administrative procedures not directly related to the primary job of getting the veterans into training.
Some Delay Certain “But despite all efforts some delays are bound to occur,” the VA admitted.
The picture was somewhat brighter for veterans in other clas-sificaUons. According to the campus Veterans Affairs office, state veterans who had their letter of eligibility in the hands of veterans officials on campus by the first day of this semester will get their checks by Oct. 6.
Those who did not have their eligibility established by the first day of school will probably not receive their checks that soon, however.
No Walt on P.L. 16 Veterans attending SC under Public Law 16 will not have to wait for their checks if they have been in training right along, but the VA pointed out, that those who have just begun training under the rehabilitation law tnis September will probably find their checks delayed.
Three factors have contributed to the delays in getting subsistence allowance checks to students on time, the VA explained. “First, it has been necessary to reduce the number of VA people who process the papers of GI students. Second,
GI bill enrollments this fall are expected to be heavy, and third, the VA is still working through the last-minute load of applications for training that came in just ahead of the cut-off date last July 25.”
When the checks do arrive, the VA said, they will include all payments due from the time the veterans stated class. Any delay in mailing out the subsistence checks will not prevent eligible veterans from starting class on time this fall.
