PRESIDENT STUDIES CONDITIONS IN EAST
Plans for New Science and Women’s Building are Complete
President von KieinSmid, during his two weeks trip in the Middle West, sot as one of his tasks while visiting the institutions, that of studying the buildings. He noted the locations on the campus, which seemed advantageous and those which did not; he noticed the new equipment and architecture.
He learned from the authorities of Northwestern University that the laboratories and offices of the Departments of Medicine, Law, and Dentistry, were more advantageously situated when in the city, than when they were on the campus in Evanston.
Plans for all of the units for the new' Science Building on the U. S. C. campus, have been completed. These units are to be erected as the money comes in for them. This building will be entirely modern and will be as well equipped as any building of its kind can be. It will contain the departments of Chemistry, Biology, Geology and Pharmacy, and will be erected where the Geology building now' stands.
The plans for the Women's Building have been accepted, and it is reported that work on the first unit will begin in a short time. The first unit of this Ibuilding will probably house the Home Economics Department.
President von KieinSmid reports that the endowment campaign is satisfactorily and feels assured that its outcome will be o§ the workers.
Student Suspended For Re-selling Tickets at S. C. Game
Desires to gain financinal promotion by dishonest means led to the suspension of one of the University students employed as ticket taker at the Stanford-U. S. C. Frosh game last Saturday. A unique plan of co-opeia-tion between this student and an outside friend, whereby tickets were tak-en and resold, was seemingly a well laid plan for financial success until detected by the authorities supervising the sale of tickets.
This severe action on the part of the Student Welfare Committee of the Faculty was found necessary to give the student workers a realization of the importance of their positions at the games. “This was the first happening of this nature and hi-’s brought about much disappointment to knov that any U. S. C. student should bf> engaged in such dishonest undertak-ngs,’’ said Gwynn Wilson. “All loyal students are requested to watch and report any irregularities evidenced at the gates of the stadium. This is our only means of preventing the continuance of this practice.”
UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BIBLE CLASS
“Dangerous Curves Ahead, Go Slow’'’ is the title of the second of a series of talks by Mrs. Fisher on the general subject “Signs of the Road.” The University Women's Bible Class meets at 9:30 Sunday morning in the University Church. All university women are urged to take advantage cf this opportunity of hearing Mrs. Fisher speak.

But if no-‘y shows any interest in the social airs of the University, there will he use in giving any more.”
The rally committee, under chairman Hal Williamson, met Wednesday afternoon, to discuss plans for the California rally.
The rally will extend over two days. Thursday morning’s chapel will be the final rehearsal, consisting of songs, yells and final instructions.
Friday afternoon at 1:30, there will be a parade through the down-
furnished to all students entering cars in the parade. Every machine in school should be there. Every organization expects to have a float entered. There are to be five judges to choose the best float, the winner to receive a silver cup.
The crowd will adjourn at 6:00 p. m. and reassamble at 7:30 p.m. for the real outburst. The plans for that evening are somewhat of a secret as yet. It is known, however, that all of the ex-football captains will be there to speak. This is to be followed t>y a big party with free cider, doughnuts, and apples.
Then comes Saturday and Gr-r-r. Bear meat.
With approximately fifty thousand tickets already sold for the Trojan-Bear game, indications are tliil a throng numbering 65,000 will gather :n the gigantic Los Angeles Coliseum to witness the stellar event of western football on November 10, according to a survey made Thursday by Gwynn Wilson, general Manager of thc student body. The figure presented is of the number of pasteboards actually sold, with reservations coming in at every hour which swell continually the total of tickets that have been disposed of.
The tickets for the big game were placed on sale in Berkeley Wednesday, and according to the report, the rush for seats by the 4000 followers of the Golden Bear, who will join the long trek southward towards Los Angeles, almost swamped the ticket offices. Students of the Southern Branch are rallying to the colors of the Berkeley institution, and will be in the Cal rooting section almost en masse, according to the sale of tickets there.
The remarkable fighting spirit of the Cardinal and Gold team that carried them to a victory over Stanford and the rather mediocre showing of California against the Oregon Aggies in their tilt Saturday give rise to the remarkable enthusiasm shown in the Trojan-Bear game, according to sporting writers of the coast.

Several of Songs Entered Contest Tried Out at Rally Yesterday
By MADGE McCONNELL
High spots of that famous victory in the enemy's territory last Saturday and high notes of the new Trojan songs were hit’ and hit hard in Assembly yesterday. Judging by the smile on Hank McCann’s face one would venture the statement that the yelling was the best of the season so far, and certainly Mr. Kirchoffer didn’t seem exactly downhearted at the attempts in the line of song.
A send off for the Frosh team, which leaves today to invade the turf'up Berkeley way in the little Big Game, was the opening feature of the rally. Then came a spectator of the game with Stanford spreading first-hand information for the stay-at-homes. This w'as Ray Brockman and a word abojft him will be of interest.
One of Coach Henderson’s charges in the good oid days of Broadway High, Seattle, and more recently cf the University of Washington, Brockman wandered southward to Btudy law at U. S. C. We have him to thank for the presence of Brice Taylor on the S. C. campus instead of on that of the Husky or the Bear.
To say that the description given by Brockman of the game Saturday w'as eloquent is to put it in pathetically weak terms. Everything TTiat everybody up there saw, and lots that they didn’t see, was faithfully and graphically recorded br the man who viewed it all from the players’ bench.
Mr. Kirchoffer is a profound believer in the theory of competition as a stimulus to activity, and he had the various sections of the auditorium staging a vocal war. Truce was declared, however and all factions were satisfied with the verdict that the faculty represented by eleven individuals of that body, walked off with the honors.

Lhevinne, Noted Pianist, to Give Artist Course Program
Joseph Lhevinne, recognized as one of the Supreme Masters of the piano forte, will appear Friday evening, November 30, in Bovard Auditorium. This program will constitute the second performance of the Artists Course offered by the Women’s Club of the University of Southern California. I
Lhevinne is termed by many as' “Titan of Technique and Tone” and is awarded the distinction of being one of the foremost artists in his line.
He is said to have entered the Moscow Conservatory at the age of seventeen being recommended by Rubenstein who heard him play the Bee-thovn “Emperor” concerto at a stu-
dents concert, when only fourteen years of age. Rubenstein took a great interest in Lhevinne believing he had a great capacity for superior accomplishments. Lhevinne studied at the conservatory later winning the conservatory gold medal and the Rubenstein prize at Berlin. He came *o America for the first time in 1907 and created a great sensation in the music world. Since then he has made annual tours which have been eagerl? anticipated by all music lovers.
The appearance of Mr. Lhevinne depends entirely upon the sale of the tickets. Unless this comes up to expectations Ethel Leginska will be substituted, an artist of tbe younger school of pianists.

A. work The three colors of the Y. M. C. A. were used throughout in a beautiful scheme. Pres. Floyd Reaves served as master of ceremonies, assisted by secretary Glenn Turner and old members.
