Coffee and doughnuts will be served.
Now's The Time-All Good Men. Come to Aid The Team
Rally Chairman Jim Lucostic confidently shrugged off the Washington football disaster yesterday, saying “it was bound to happen sometime,” but added on a grimmer note that “if the student body ever needed ts show spirit and guts, now is the time for it.”
Lucostic, running over his plans for the Oregon State rally, noon Friday in Bovard Auditorium, remarked that “w’e’ll really be in for a pasting from UCLA and the local papers if we let down on our support now. For about three years they’ve been needling us for not being able to support a team in a tight spot, and I’m not sure but what they’ve been right It’s about time things were changed.”
Lucostic made it clear that Friday’s Oregon State rally would either make or break SC’s prestige as far as spirit and team support are concerned. “It’s going to be a real rally this time,” he said, "with more yells and more Tommy Walker than before.” The fact that Lucostic has over 2000 Trojan song-sheets ready for the rally indicates his hopes for a capacity turnout.
Joe Karnes, a versatile gent w’ho sings and plays the piano at the Club Capri (corner La Cienega and San Vicente), is the first outside entertainer Lucostic has secured for the rally. Karnes’ repertoire is said to be something less than classical and “he should go over big,” according to Lucostic.
Lucostic has a list of contacts and possile rally performers that reads like the guest register at a Hollywood premiere. “If I can get just one of these people to show up,” he said, “we’re in. I should know for 6ure by early Thursday.”

Yugoslav Tanks Move Toward Trieste
From United Press
TRIESTE, Oct. 14 — Street brawling broke out in Trieste tonight nd American-made tanks of the Yugoslav Army pounded toward this crisis-ridden free territory between Italy and Yugoslavia.
Thousands of demonstrat o r s fought in the heart of this port city. Italian youths, chanting “death to Tito,” wTecked the offices of the Yugoslav Commercial Mission.
Scores of persons suffered bruises and minor w-ounds in the first violence here since the Anglo-American decision to turn zone A of Trieste over to Italy. Flying squads of police arrested a number in breaking up the disorders.
This correspondent crossed the
frontier into Yugoslavia a little later and sawr U.S.-made Patton tanks of the Yugoslav Army clanking toward the frontier to back up Marshal Tito’s threat to march into zone A if the Italians did.
Something like a brigade of tanks, looking as if they had come right off the production line, moved through the main square of Postojna in the direction of the frontier.
Residents of the village said it had been like that for the last five days.
Melbourne, Australia, Oct. 15
__Britain exploded an Atomic
weapon early today at the Woomera rocket range in northwest Australia, Prime

Menzies said a second test will be made shortly. The forthcoming blast was expected to involve tests of a Hydrogen bomb trigger.
The Prime Minister said full safety precautions were taken and scientific data was being collected for evaluation.
The Ministry of Supply in London had announced the te^t explosion earlier.

Wiener Neustadt, Austria, Oct 14—Austrian prisoners who returned here tonight from long
years of Russian captivity reported that two Americans are imprisoned in a Soviet camp northeast of Moscow.
Returnees identified the Americans as H. H. Cox, 33, Oklahoma City, and Leland Towers, about 28, San Francisco.
They said both men were being held at the Soviets’ camp Swerd-low 6118, some 150 miles from Moscow.
One of the freed Austrians said he had seen the two Americans only a week ago anl said both were in good physical condition. He reported Cox was arrested by the Russians in East Berlin more than four years ago and Tow'ers wras believed seized in the Russo-Finland border area in 1950.
The Homecoming Parade on the Miracle Mile was given the green light by the Los Angeles Police Commission yesterday afternoon.
Announcement that the parade will be held on Wilshire Boulevard from Curson to Clcverdale streets was made by
Homecoming Chairman Bob Hil- , denbrand at last night’s ASSC j Senate meeting.
Councilman Don A. Allen, who | spoke before the Police Comnjis- | sion urging that the parade be | permitted, attended the ASSC i Senate meeting last night and
spoke to the student senators.
Allen, who originated the idea of a controlled parade under city permit in 1948 and has aided the university in obtaining permits ever since, said that he is proud to have helped to arrange the event and will always continue to do so.
Challenge in Event
“I am looking forward to being able to attend 50 more Homecoming parades throughout the years,” he told the Senators. “And I’ll probably do it because only the good die young.”
“There has been a challenge as to the interest evidenced by SC students and alums in this event,” Allen said. “I think this challenge should be met by a tremendous turnout this year.
“I hope the parade can eventually be held in this community where there will be more favorable conditions for the safety of floats,” Allen said.
Addition of five female song leaders to the yeU leading staff at Trojan athletic events and rallies was approved last night by the Senators.
Song Leader Sought
A head song leader and five assistants will be chosen as soon as possible by a student-faculty committee.
The song leaders plan will go into operation on a trial basis. If it works out satisfactorily, song leaders will be chosen next year by election.
“We do need something to help with our singing, particularly at the football games,” said Doug Morgan who introduced the motion.
“The addition of five attractive, well-trained girls might also help spirit at the rallies,” said Morgan, proxy for the School of Dentistry president.
Senate to Choose
Song leaders will be chosen by a committee composed of two Senate members, Trojan Knight president, the head yell leader, a representative from the counselor of women’s office, and president of Amazons.
The Senators also created a Student Public Relations Committee to provide publicity information on all student activities for the news outlets in the Los Angeles area. The new committee will be responsible for organizing and coordinating a student speakers bureau to represent SC.
New Chairman The Public Relations Committee by-law, introduced by Senator-at-large Bill Van Alstyne, provides that ASSC President Warren Clendening will appoint a full-time day student to act as chairman within one week. The chairman will then choose h i s five-man committee. All appointments are subject to Senate ratification.
Van Alstyne’s proposal for a student high school and junior college relations committee was defeated.
Senators urging defeat of the by-law creating the committee, said they favored the idea, but could not go along with details of the plan. They urged that a new program be worked out.
Long Session Weary Senators concluded the 4%-hour meeting by giving the Varsity Show Production Group official recognition as a campus organization. The group is designed to provide organization and advance preparation for the Varsity Show.

“The Wampus will contain photographic essays, stories on Homecoming, fraternities, sororities, Dr. Kinsey, Roses ’n Razzes, classified ads, (humorous version); and many other interesting items unmentionable at this time,” Pflimlin said.
Roman Chariots To Appear at SC
The sight of glittering Roman chariots drawn by horses thundering down University Avenue in broad daylight may become commonplace this fall, according to Barry Greenberg, SC student.
Bob Maners and his SC cheerleaders have completed arrangements with Greenberg for the use of three authentic looking Roman chariots at this season’s football games and rallies.
The chariots will be unveiled at the Homecoming Parade, Friday, November 6. At the Homecoming football game with Stanford the next day, Maners and his cohorts will enter the Coliseum driving the chariots at a breakneck pace up to the rooting section.
