Enrollment Drop from
Last Fall
Despite an increase of 249 freshmen, SC’s day school enrollment is lower than last year. Troy has a day-time enrollment of 10,204 this semester as against j 10,571 day students last fall.
Percentage-wise this is a de- j crease of two and three-fourths \ percent, according to Registrar j Howard W. Patmore. He added ;
that these are preliminary, unif- I ficial figures, and that it would be about ten days before a final, official check can be made.
Director of Admissions and Registration Herman J. Sheffield, stated that the probable cause of te decrease was due to the remaining veterans at SC graduating faster than regular students »are enrolling. However, Sheffield , said the freshman and transfer enrollment are definitely rising. Tis year’s freshman class unofficially numbers 1420. The frosh class last year included 1171. Enrollment by Scools The complete breakdown of enrollment by schools as of September 30 was 880 students in Uni- \ versity Park day classes, 482 in the School of Dentistry, 465 in j the School of Law, and 437 in the School of Medicine.
Compared with last year Uni- j I versity Park showed the greatest I decrear -a total of 297 students, j The *j'nool of Law was down 90 students.
In addition. Civic Center counted 1323 students, a drop of about | eight per cent from last year. Duplications Lower Total Because many of the Civic Center and University College students are also in day classes duplications will bring the total number of students down to approximately 17,000. Total enrollment was 17,728 a year ago.
Robert C. Davidson, assistant director of development, voiced the opinion that enroll- I ment at SC is finding its true level after the veteran-swelled post-war years of 1945 through 1949.
He also stated that SC is grow-I ing in enrollment. Eefore World War II he said there was a total of only about 6000 students. Today, there is three times that i number and by 1960 he predicted a student population which would break the post-war record enrollments.
Cal Game Ticket Sales Total 1100
Rooters tickets for the SC-Cal game will go off sale 4:30 to- ! morrow afternoon, said John Morley, SC ticket manager.
Only 1100 tickets had been sold j when the office closed yesterday. This is far short of the 3500 to 5000 usually sold. Morely said.
Tickets will be on sale from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. today and to- \
I morrow for S1.75 at the Service Building, 35th Sjtreet and Uni- :
versity Avenue.

Heavy Balloting Expected Today
(Editor’s Note: We regret that we are unable <Jo run candidates’ battle columns that were submitted after the scheduled deadline. The Daily Trojan announced that the deadline for battle columns was last TJuesday at 3 p.m. The deadline was also announced to the candidates by the elections commissioner. Therefore, in all fairness to the candidates who adhered to the deadline, we feel that any battle columns printed in today’s edition would tend to give late-comers an unfair advantage in running their campaign statements on election day.)
Amidst the blaring of horns and the eager tub-thumping of last minute electioneering parades, SC students will line up at the polls today in what Elections Commissioner Chuck McClure predicted would be a “large turnout” of voters as well as office-seekers.

Homecoming Plans Nearing Final Touches
The proposed bon-fire which will kick off the 1953 Homecoming rally may be held on the athletic field directly west of the physical education building, A! Carpenter, rally chairman announced yesterday.
“The field would be a perfect spot for the rally but we may not get it—jn which case we will have it on one of the campus parking lots,” Carpenter said after conferring with members of the physical education department.
Prize Offered
The feature of the rally will be a prize for the group which brings the most firewood.
In other fields of Homecoming, Johanna Pick, slogan chairman said that a few more slogans have been dropped into the entry box in 215 SU, but that “we need many more to insure a top-notch slogan for the celebration.”

their exact intentions with Harry Nelson, student activities advisor, as soon as possible.
Cops Incognito; Have Eye Out For Scalpers
The man with the overcoat, dark glasses, and hat pulled down over his face, who is sitting next to you in class, talking with yon in front of Founders, or eating with you in the Grill, may be a plainclothes-man on the lookout for ticket scalpers.
The profession has expanded SO on the SC campus and around the Coliseum that the University police have stationed these private eyes at inconspicuous places all over the area who are ready to pounce on the first man, woman, or child that raises the price on a football ticket.
Moral: Don’t scalp tickets
when a ticket-scalper catcher is around.	___________
Poster Fines To Be Levied On Violators

Referring to many handbills that were used as posters, Miss Vasseur warned candidates that handbills which are posted require individual approval stamps before they can be posted.

individual approval stamps if a
copy has been approved by the
commission.
Illegal Posters

Parades and demonstrations are also subject to heavy fines if they are held at times other than those announced in the campaign rules which were distributed to each candidate.
