Some of the reasons for the mere subsistance level of these families are the pitiful wages of day laborers (average $35 per week), number of children in the family (average 4.6), seasonal jobs, and problems presented by the aged and infirm whose small pensions have not risen with the cost of living.

FIVE CENTS Applicants to Receive Tickets, Checks Friday Cotton Bowl tickets have ar rived, said Walter Hosterman, assistant to the graduate manager of athletics, late yesterday. They may be obtained at the AA office Friday morning, he added. Insufficient, time and personnel make it impossible to notify stu dents whose names were arawn in yesterday's lottery. All s tudents who applied for tickets will re ceive their tickets or their refund check Friday, Mr. Hosterman said. Students who requested that tickets be mailed to them will get their tickets or their refund checks by that means. Thomas Lannen, All-College president, suggested to students who have more tickets than they need that they dispose of them to fellow students.

A plan of reducing all alumni applications for tickets by 50 per cent was adopted by the Athletic Association. Student leaders op posed such a plan for the student share of the tickets on the grounds that most student parties were already planned in groups of four.
