Student Senate Doles Out $506 To Petitioners
Making appropriations of $400, $100, and $6 respectively to the band, Co-Ed Council, and Homecoming Committee, the Student Senate convened in the senate chambers Tuesday.
It was decided also to rescind action taken during the meeting of October 23 and take back the $12 loan granted organizers of the Student Directory. The publication is to be handled by another campus organization.
Following the $400 appropriation to the band for equipment, $100 was granted the Co-Ed Council for expenses. This group realizes no income during the year, as the payment of dues is not required.
Six dollars was given the Homecoming Committee for the placement of pictures in the Hurricane of the independent candidates for Homecoming Queen.
President Hilbish appointed the Finance Committee of the Student Senate, consisting of himself, Seymour Simon, Helene Putnam, and Dan Satin. To this group will be referred all petitions, before they are brought before senators. It is the duty of the Finance Committee, after careful consideration of the petitions, to recommend to the Senate what action should be taken—this advice is not necessarily followed by the Senate.

"night. This is the longest trip ever made by a Hurricane squad, and the only trip of the current season.
In five games so far this season, the Texas boys have tied one and won four. The first game of the season found Tech getting a tie with a strong Oklahoma A. & M. squad, 6 to 6. Tech knotted the score with a long pass in the last two minutes of the game. Loyola of Los Angeles proved an easy victim in the next game going down in defeat 32-19. In a game that looked something like the unforgettable Catholic U. clash of a few weeks ago, the Red Raiders defeated Brigham-Young (from the picture of the same name) 21-20. Marquette was next and the Wisconsin boys were whipped on their own home field 20-13.
Both Handicapped
Both teams will be handicapped by long traveling. The Texas boys returned from their intersectional clash in Wisconsin last Saturday afternoon.
Last minute changes found Alex Basil and Joe Kaldor being added to the list making the trip. Kaldor was shifted to end to strengthen the flank since the injuries of Bill* Totterdale and Roy Robinson have not healed as well as expected. Basil will be a big help to injured Terry Fox and Doc Sapp.
The squad will return Tuesday morning, and begin immediate preparations for the Rollins game the following Friday night.
Trip Roster
Those making the trip were: Kaldor, Robinson, Lee Krutulis, Totterdale, and Gorman, ends; Lehn, Cohen, Kearns, and Wunder, tackles; Snowden, Borek, Broker, Miller, and Wood, guards; Carifeo and O’Neil, centers; Sapp, Basil, Fox, Trobliger, Kurucza, Coates, Bogart, Harris, Steiner, and Douglas, backs. Coaches Harding and Morris, Managers Opt-ner and Suddeth, and Graduate Manager of Athletics James Buesse also went.
WKAT Broadcasts Texas Tech Game
Only a very few students went along to Lubbock, since the round trip is close to 3500 miles, but the game will be broadcast Friday night over station WKAT.
