|1. thank goodness. _
The last time SC came up against a speedster like that, in the form of TCU’s Ron Cllnkscale last year, they were dumped 20-7.
Friday the Oregon sophomore made a 28-yard run, a 72-yard run good for a touchdown, and a 24-yard run that was called back because of penalties. Shanley carried the ball 7 times for 119 yards and a rushing average of 17.00 that was tops for the night.
SCc vaunted backfield didn't do too badlv either, as C R Roberts ran up 75 yards in 10 tries for a 7.5 average. Arnett's understudy, ex-frosh Ernie Zampe.se, took the ball five times for a 5.80 average, alleviating worries about lack of depth ln that spot.
At the other halfback position, Don Hickman rolled up a respectlble 5 87 average, while workhorse Gordon Duvall, fullback. came through with a 5 50 average ln 12 carries.
It was Duvall who sparked the first Troian scoring drive, carrying the ball nine times, including a 20-yard run and a 21-yard screen pass play, as the Trojans moved from their j own 28 to the Oregon 1-yard stripe. An ett then took lt over I right tackle for the first SC score with about 13 seconds gone in the sceond quarter.
Hill later said the play was not called specifically to give Arnett a scoring chance, but that he was used because lt was 1 the right tackle hole they wanted to hit.
Arnett then kicked the extra point, and he was a quarter of the way towards setting the new scoring record.
His next score came five minutes later when SC took an Oregon punt, moving lt 13 yards to the Duck 30-yard line, and Jim Contratto tossed a beautiful pass to Arnett tn the end zone. Arnett kicked the conversion, giving him 14 points.
All was quiet for SC and Arnett until, 011 the third play of the second half, Roberts ran 7 yards, tossed a lateral to Jon. and Arnett went the remaining 25 yards to score. Again his extra point was good.

AT CONFERENCE
Group Feeling Set As Idyllwild Topic
“What can the Associated Students do to create a group feeling at SC on the part of International students, commuters, university residents, and Rowites?
This pertinent question is the first of two topics chosen Friday to be discussed at the Idyllwild Conference, scheduled for Oct. 1st and 2nd. The second is "How can we improve the academic environment at SC?”
Under the leadership of Cammie King, Mortar Board president, the Senate committee on the conference decided to have Dr. Robert G. Gordon, counselor of men, and Mrs. William A. Schaefer, counselor of women, as opening speakers.
The two administrators will speak on “My First Impression of SC.”
Panel piscussions Planned
Dr. James A. Peterson, marriage counselor, and Janet Fakuda, AWS president, will head up the panel discussing “Group Feeling.” Dr. Totton J. Anderson, assistant professor of political science, assisted by Steve Robertson, senior class president, will lead the discussion of the “Academic Environment” at the university.
About 20 faculty members are expected to be at the conference, 7 of whom are actually teachers. These members to be present are either from the Student Activities Committee of the Faculty Senate or are academic advisement counselors.
Representatives present at Idyllwild will be divided into two groups, with each given two hours to discuss the topics.
On the question of academic environment the committee decided to discuss three sections—student-faculty relationships, the academic honor system, and the social honor system.
Committee Members Listed
Beside Miss King, the other members present at the committee meeting were Joe Cerrell, Jerry McMahon, Robbie Carroll, Ruth Ann Marr, Dean of Students Hyink, and Harry Nelson.
Thirty students are expected at the conference, according to ASSC President McMahon, who also said that “all ASSC voting and non-voting senators, as well as committee chairmen are eligible to go.” Those interested in making reservations should contact Harry Nelson, student activities adviser, in 228 SU by today.
The early October conference will be the sixth straight year such a gathering has been held to “talk over some of the SC problems.
Dr. Albert S. Raubenheimer, educational vice president, will be the closing speaker of the weekend.
One facet of the “group feeling” discussion will be the integration of the foreign students into the ,sociaj_llle_of_S(?

The effects of stress are very real to many people today, but to Dr. Herman Harvey of the department of psychology, they are the topic of long experi m e nt a t i 0 n.
Since 1950, when he was at Cornell, Dr. Harvey has been studying the effects of stress on different animals.
His present studies involve mice and rats. Cages of experimental rodents line the walls of his laboratory in Founders Hall, all in various phases of his tests.
Tumor* Produced One group of rats have been injected with tumor-producing substances; half of them are subject- it , rs • , ed to periodic stress, while the A/lilSt »\0CfLSlGT other half are left alone. They are being tested to see if stress speeds the growth of the tumor, a research which may be useful in the study of cancer.
This part of the experiment ls being financed by the National Science Foundation. Dr. John Field of the School of Medicine is cooperating with Dr. Harvey in this particular study.
■Stres* Reactions Other phases concern the reaction of animals to stress in different times of their lives from early infancy to old age. Dr. Harvey is investigating the perception, reasoning ability, fear reactions, and mental reactions to stress as well.
Physiological development of these animals is also being studied. The various glands and sections of the brain of the animals are examined for signs of stress-caused development.
No Answer Another interesting part of this study is the question of what causes some people and organisms to build up resistance to stress, and live with comparatively little i-paction to it. Dr. Harvey confessed that he couldn’t lie sure of the answer.
"Apparently the best way to build up resistance to stress is simply to experience stress itself,” he added. He compared the process with building up a muscle by constant exercise of it.
These particular experiments are only a part of the whole study which is being carried on by many people throughout the country.
Professor Horvath is expected back on the SC campus shortly.
Engineer Research Center Works on Guided Missiles
Since 1945 the SC Engineering Center has been doing research and experimental work on high speed aircraft and missiles in connection with the US Bureau of Aeronautics.
The center is a separate division of the School of Engineering and is under the direction of Herbert Saffel. Annual contracts for the projects are over $850,000, and 110 full time employees are used.
Alien Students
By Oct. 8th
Foreign students who fail to register with tin* U. S. Immigration Department hy Oct. H face possible expulsion from (he country.
An official hnlictin from the department states that all aliens residing in the IT. S. arc required to register in the annual census of immigrants and students.
The foreign student* office has received permission t« issue the census forms on campus at 822 Nil. This action will save the International students and visitors the inconvenience of reporting in person.
flim McAree, foreign students adviser, said, “It Is urgent that all international students register with the immigration service. The foreign student office hopes to save students the difficulties of per-sonal interviews which consume time and force elaborate explanations for failure to register at the proper time.”

Music School Offers First Jazz Course
A new course In modern American jazz is being offered for the first time by the School of Music and will be open to music majors and to non-music students as auditors.
The workshop in progressive Jazz composition will meet Wednesday evenings. Students can still register for the class in the University College
Armed Force* Research
Research project* are done for the Navy, Army Ordnance Corps, Air Force, and private aircraft manufacturers.
Besides installations for experiments located in pack of the engineering building, the Engineer-ing Center operates the Naval Air Missile Test Center at Point Mu-gu near Oxnard.
The primary purpose of this Nav' Aerodynamic Test Division is to obtain aerodynamic data for the design of Bureau of Aeramiu-tics high speed aircraft and missiles. It also provides facilities for the development of their air breathing propulsion devices and accessories.
Tests are made in wind tunnels where simulated air speed can reach rate* greater than the speed of sound. Power for the wind experiments comes from the compressors of the USS Independence, now permanently located at the center.
Continued Expansion In 1947, when additional facilities were needed besides those on the campus, an experimental center was set up at the Fontana Kaiser Steel Mill. Further expansion needs led to the Oxnard center construction in 1951.
Tho Engineering Center while not a part of the university curriculum, furnishes a research center for engineering degree doctorate candidates and provides instructors for University College and Civic Center courses. Al tbs present time over half of the research scientists are also instructing at the university.
Besides work on aeronautics, experiments and data are being completed on projects dealing with sanitation, chemical engineering, smog control and study, soil mechanics and water waste.

Zoologist Collects Sea Life
By Peter N. Synodis
While Los Angeles stifled ln record heat. Zoology Professor Charles Horvath completed his marine biological studies on a frigid, barren, Arctic ice-island and is expected at SC within the next three weeks.
Horvath has been living ln semi-isolation ln temperatures capable of plunging to -70 degrees, according to J. L. Barnard, biological research assistant.
The Island Is n glorified chunk of ice 9 mile* long hy 4‘a miles wide that floats with snail-like pace and determination in a wobbly, clockwise arc around Greenland and the North Pole.
Origin Hauling Its origin has baffled geologi-cal experts since it was discovered and traced through aerial reconnaisance and radar by the Air Force in 1946.
Horvath has visited the island three times, and as tar as anyone knows, has lived on it longer than any other human being. While Air Force crews, use the island as a weather station and rotate every three months, Horvath has doggedly endured subzero hardships for as long as six months.
I .and Slushy_
Because the summer sun turns surface ice to knee-deep slush, the Air Force hasn't been able to land on the makeshift snow-pack-ed airstrip ior the past three months.
All supplies are parachuted in, and the silk chutes are religiously salvaged and used to insulate the island’s handful of Quonset-like barracks called Jamesways.
Occasionally a dreaded ground haze called the “white out" engulfs the island, thickens the air into veritable crystals, and makes it impossible to distinguish between snow, fog and horizon.
For this reason, empty gasoline drums are placed along paths from the camp to the research area to mark the trail, much like the beacons along the airstrip of un aiport.
Rudn, I'sed
Weather is no problem, however, in supplying the camp. The Air Force uses radar. Following his second trip to the island, Horvath told how the crews were constantly supplied with steaks and green salads. For entertainment there were such warming films as “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.”
•'We ran It over about 20 times,” Horvath said. “The only thing we didn't have was a wide screen. We were roughing it.”
The 35-year-old Horvath is described by his associates as 6 foot 1 inches tall, dark haired, weighing a solid 180 pounds and "tops” in personality.

In a meeting with his 150 member committee Thursday, Jani revealed that this year's plans are for an early contest and coronation for the Homecoming Queen. The lineup of events for the big week was given to the group also. Tuesday, Nov. 2. will be the date of the Diamond Jubilee show, a vaudeville program which all men's and women's campus organizations are invited to enter.

Synodis While Los Angeles stifled ln record heat. Zoology Professor Charles Horvath completed his marine biological studies on a frigid, barren, Arctic ice-island and is expected at SC within the next three weeks. Horvath has been living ln semi-isolation ln temperatures capable of plunging to -70 degrees, according to J. L. Barnard, biological research assistant. The Island Is n glorified chunk of ice 9 mile* long hy 4‘a miles wide that floats with snail-like pace and determination in a wobbly, clockwise arc around Greenland and the North Pole. Origin Hauling Its origin has baffled geologi-cal experts since it was discovered and traced through aerial reconnaisance and radar by the Air Force in 1946. Horvath has visited the island three times, and as tar as anyone knows, has lived on it longer than any other human being. While Air Force crews, use the island as a weather station and rotate every three months, Horvath has doggedly endured subzero hardships for as long as six months. I .and Slushy_ Because the summer sun turns surface ice to knee-deep slush, the Air Force hasn't been able to land on the makeshift snow-pack-ed airstrip ior the past three months. All supplies are parachuted in, and the silk chutes are religiously salvaged and used to insulate the island’s handful of Quonset-like barracks called Jamesways. Occasionally a dreaded ground haze called the “white out" engulfs the island, thickens the air into veritable crystals, and makes it impossible to distinguish between snow, fog and horizon. For this reason, empty gasoline drums are placed along paths from the camp to the research area to mark the trail, much like the beacons along the airstrip of un aiport. Rudn, I'sed Weather is no problem, however, in supplying the camp. The Air Force uses radar. Following his second trip to the island, Horvath told how the crews were constantly supplied with steaks and green salads. For entertainment there were such warming films as “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” •'We ran It over about 20 times,” Horvath said. “The only thing we didn't have was a wide screen. We were roughing it.” The 35-year-old Horvath is described by his associates as 6 foot 1 inches tall, dark haired, weighing a solid 180 pounds and "tops” in personality. Work* on Doctorate A native of Lake Geneva, Wis., he took graduate studies in zoology at SC and is currently working toward his doctorate degree. Barnard, who assists Horvath, Homecoming celebrants.
