First person to return a nominating petition for a freshman class office is Jacquelynne Jones, vice-presidential candidate.
Miss Jones' filing was confirmed yesterday by Dr. Alex Aloia, student activities adviser, who said that other frosh petitions have been taken out but not returned.
The petitions may be secured in Aloia's office, 228 Student Union, and must be returtied to his office by noon, Oct. 17.

Even though most of the fress-men will not be running, they should take an active interest in those who are seeking office, he said.
Tirebiter Has Lost' Weekend -Still Missing
Tirebiter II is lost and nobody’s found him. No trace of Troy’s canine mascot lost over the weekend, can be found.
Harry Ballard, owner of the dog and proprietor of a local donut shop, said yesterday that George’s disappearance was still a complete mystery .
The pup’s absence was first noticed early Friday morning when he was scheduled to make an appearance at the send-off rally for the Trojan football team. It is feared that George may have been dognapped by the rival educational institution across town.
“I haven’t filed a complaint with the police department,” Ballard said, ‘ “because in the past I've learned that it doesn’t pay.”
At the University station, police said they knew nothing of Geogre’s disappearance.
“It is necessary for Ballard to file a Lost Report’ in order for us to begin any kind of a search,” Detective Lt. C. G. Sangren said. “Of course, if he (the dog) were picked up wandering in the street, he would be returned to his owner.”
Well remembered by most Trojans is the day that* the present Tirebiter's illustrious predecessor, George I. was found several days after pulling a disappearance act, severely doped and with the initials UCLA shaved upon his spine.
Fear has been expressed that if the Bruins have the mutt, he will not be returned until the Troy-Bruin game, Nov. 24.
Meanwhile, the search continues. Ballard has promised to inform the Daily Trojan if any clues to George's whereabouts are dug up.

New Selection Policy To Get Tryout Nov. 5, 6
“Helen of Troy” for 1951 will be chosen by student vote. The new policy in the selection of SC’s Homecoming Queen was announced late yesterday by Jim Bockman, Homecoming chairman. Student voting will be held Nov. 5 and 6 and “Helen” will be announced the night of Nov. 7, Bockman said.	- ■	..................
Several preliminary judgings will narrow the field of contestants down to 12 girls. Students will then elect the queen in an election resembling that of a regular student body election. The elections commission will handle the proceedings, he said.
Bockman voiced the hope that the new system might result in “the biggest and best queen contest that Troy has ever had.”
To Preside
The queen will preside at all Homecoming Week activities, beginning with her announcement the night of Nov. 7.
She will ride in a special float at the parade, rule at a special dance, be especially honored during the Trolio's show, and sit in a special box at the Stanford game.
To be eligible for this contest, a coed must have attended SC for at least two semesters. If a coed went to SC for two semesters, then was

Too Many Candidates
Rodee came up with an interesting sidelight which may have been an important contributing factor in this change of election tide. The Liberal party ran so many candidates, that by splitting the vote, it unwittingly helped Conservative candidates to win.
The running of 478 Liberal candidates in 1950 may have been the cause for the big drop in Labor
Trolios to Be En Shrine d
Trolios—the annual all men’s show—will be held Nov. 8, at the Shrine auditorium at 8 p.m., Chairman Elmer Haskin announced today.
Staged as a part of the homecoming celebration, fraternities and men's organizations on campus are eligible to participate.
Trophies will be awarded the best acts put on during the show.
Haskin announced that there will be a meeting Friday for all Trolio group chairmen. Rules of the show and entrance qualifications will be discussed at the meeting.
He also requested that all groups have their themes prepared by Oct. 17. This early date has been set to prevent any mix-up on the themes.
An added attraction will be the appearance of Hollywood personalities as intermission acts.
The show has been moved to the Shrine auditorium so a larger audience can be accommodated. A special section will be set aside for students.

Submit Photo Coeds entering the contest must submit an 8 by 10 inch glossy head and shoulder photograph which includes name, address, and telephone number, to the office of Dr. Alex Aloia, student activities adviser, 228 Student Union, by October 19.
The first preliminary judging will be Oct. 23 and 24.
“We want this to be the most desired queenship at SC,” said Bockman. He added that the true spirit of Homecoming is best exemplified by a representative queen and that by having the students elect their choice this policy can best be carried out.
Restrict Contest Bockman and his committee, in restricting the contest to coeds who have been at SC for at least one year, felt that in this time contestants have had a chance to become well known to the students and acquainted with SC.
In past years the queen has been selected by a committee of judges.
Identity of the queen will be kept secret until the night of her presentation, Nov. 7, at which time Bockman will announce the winner. Dean Hyink, Dr. Zech, counselor of men, and Mrs. White, counelor of women, will count the student votes.
