Licking the Bruins pays off. Chimes sucker sales skyrocketed yesterday, and with three more days of drumming up business yet to come, members of the junior women’s service organization are confident they’ll reach their goal of 3000.
“Several of the Chimes sold their quota of 50 low-calorie lollipops yesterday,” according to Sue Corwin, chairman of the project The bear-shaped'suckers will be sold in lab classes, organizational meetings, at the rally Friday, and at the game. They are also on sale on the SU corner.
“We are selling these suckers to promote spirit for the Bell Game,” Miss Corwin said. “Proceeds will go to the Walls of Troy fujid. The Chime selling the most suckers will receive a prize. Everyone gets fun out of licking a Bruin.” Trojans have their choice of flavors, too: lemon, butterscotch, and cherry. There are only 50 calories in each 15 cent sucker, so Trojanes have nothing to worry about.

Of Forum Talk
“Although Schelling is one of the least known German idealists, his influence, especially in romantic literature, is far reaching,” stated Philip Merlan, professor of philosophy at Scripps College and Claremont Graduate School, in his lecture on “The Second Schelling” at the philosophy forum yesterday.
He stressed the portion of Schelling’s life in which he turned from the theory of pantheism, the assertion that everything is in some way divine.
Speaking before an audience of about 40 persons in Bowne Hall, he pointed out that there was no psychological reason for this change: Schelling had, however, given several philosophical explanations for the pessimism which overtook him.
The main reason, Merlan stressed, was Schelling’s feeling that there is one great fact in the destiny of the universe which pantheism does not explain, that of freedom.
Although Schelling lived to be 80 for some strange reason he stopped publishing at the age of 35. During this period he continued to write and lecture, however.

The entire campus has settled down this week to the serious business of figuring out how to beat the Bruins Saturday.
Windows in the stair wells of Founders Hall were smeared with white wash over the week end to prevent anyone from watching SC’s secret football drills in adjacent Bovard field. The request was made by the athletic department.
----------:-------------------------------------------------------------| “Soon as we beat the Bruins,
it’ll be washed off, said Elton D. Phillips, business manager. Campus Preparing Campus organizations are also tackling the task, but are making no secret about it. Bright cardinal and gold “Beat the Bruins” posters and stickers were placed on buildings and trees all over campus by the Knights, Squires, and Alpha Phi Omega, men’s service fraternities.
The houses on the Row, working with the rally committee, are painting posters with such catchy phrases as “Pillage the Village” and “Crush the Dream of the Nation’s Number One Team.” Blackboards Marked During the week, class room blackboards will be chalked with different “Beat the Bruins” slogans.
At the halftime of Saturday’s “Victory Bell Game,” a 3-D effect yell will be presented by the SC card section, according to Don Daves, Knight president.
When the Southern California stunt is given, students will not only flip the cards but will stand up and yell at the same time. This will give the three dimensional effect.
Bring Cow Bells Daves also asked that all students bring their cow bells to the game. The bells were sold last week by members of Spurs, sophomore women’s honorary.
One of the hottest sessions of the current Senate year looms tonight as legislators tackle a bill to stiffen fines on candidates who violate election rules.
Under the proposed legislation, candidates exceeding the expenditure limits would pay a dollar for dollar fine equaling the amount spent in excess of the set limit.
Backed by ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne, the election fines measure will come up as part of legislation to revise election by laws.
The Senate meeting is set for 7 in the Student Union Senate Chambers. The meeting will be open to the public.
According to Van Alstyne, the biggest violation of election rules is “that candidates exceed the stated limits on campaign expenditures. Violators are often caught, but the- low fine rates fail to discourage the practice.”

Streets Are Now One-Way
By Arnold Diener
SC students driving north on Figueroa to campus were forced to detour at Flower yesterday as Los Angeles police instituted one-way traffic on the two streets.
Figueroa will be one-way for south-bound traffic whil® Flower will be one-way for north-bound traffic in order to facilitate the heavy traffic entering and leaving the new Harbor Freeway link. The streets are one-way from 38th to 22nd Streets.
Police Give Suggestions
Police officials gave the following suggestions for students who are affected by the new traffic setup:
1.	Left turns are permitted off Flower onto Exposition Boulevard, making it easy to reach th« Exposition parking lots.
2.	In order to reach Hoover Boulevard just turn left on either 34th, 35th, or 36th Streets. Left turns are not permitted on 37th Street because it is a one-way street heading east.
3.	Students wishing to reach th« medical or dental clinics, or parking areas near Founders Hall, can turn left off Flower on Jefferson.
Freeway Causes Change
These changes were put into effect because of the opening of the new freeway link at Adams and Figueroa. The streets will remain one-way until November of next year when the freeway will be extended to 42nd Street.
“One-way streets will speed up traffic two to three miles an hour,” said L. W. Gardner, senior Los Angeles traffic engineer.
The important thing for drivers to remember is to watch all the posted signs. One police officer stated that most of the trouble encountered on changing traffic flows comes from drivers who drive by force of habit, not according to laws and signs.

FORMER YELL KING
SC Card Stunt Originator Will Be Senior Class Guest
Lindley F. Bothwell, the Trojan yell king who originated card stunts in 1921, has been invited as special guest of the Senior Class for the first annual Senior Day Saturday, Bob De Rienzo, chairman of the affair, announced yesterday.
Bothwell, wrho was yell leader for four years, will assist Don Ward during the game and at Friday’s rally. He will also direct some of the card stunts.
Bothwell’s idea of card stunts caught on fast in the 1920’s, and soon every large college and university in the country was entertaining crowds with the half-time activities.
Bothwell received his M.A. in history here in 1923. Three years later he was graduated from Oregon State with a B.S. in agriculture. He introduced animated card stunts to Oregon State in 1925.
His reputation as a yell king was so well-known that the Notre Dame team of 1925 asked him to

De Rienzo added that box lunch tickets for seniors and their guests are selling fast. Today noon is the deadline; tickets are on sale in front of SU.
“We’ve restricted the sale to 600 tickets,” he said, “and if they keep going at the present rate, they’ll be gone far before the deadline.”
All Senior Day lunch tickets are sold except those held by Senior Council members. These tickets will be put on sal at the Student Union booth as they are turned in.
The lunches will be distributed by Chimes in the Coliseum at 11:55 a.m. The Seniors will then hear a talk on the “Benefits of the Alumni Association to Graduates” by a member of the association.
