Will STOP IATE INFLUX AT CHAPEL
Prompt Measures to be Used;
May Expose Names of Guilty Ones
Trojan loyalty and the spirit of Trojan idealism should be sufficient in themselves to stop the practice of students entering chapel as Alma Mater is being sung, according ‘ j the statement of Harry Silke, student body president, in speaking of the proposed measures being formulated to combat this practice.
“We definitely decided in the meet-ng of the executive committee last week to expose the names of those who are guilty of this practice,” said Silke, “but 1 am sure that an appeal to the loyalty of the students of the school will accomplish much more than any disciplinary measures. There has been some talk of bringing the Trojan Knights and the Amazons into action to see that this custom is observed, but certainly we as loyal Trojans and students at the University of Southern California can best appeal to our sense of loyalty and to the time honored customs of the school rather than to these things."
I am certainly hoping thit this loyalty will assert itself and that the practice of finding seats in chapel as the old school song is being sung wiil be discontinued by those students who have made this a practice before'’
Silke stated.
Since “Lick Cal"’ has become the Trojan war-cry, “See you at the Biltmore after the game” has become almost as popular a watch-word. About everybody is going to be there, and it is expected that there will be much rejoicing and making merry. It is expected that the well-known Troian pep will be effervescing, and celebrating will be in vogue.
The Trojans and Amazons are sponsoring the affair in honor of the Varsity. The brand new Biltmore ballroom will be the scene of this dance on November 10th, but it will be informal, because many people from the North may not come to the game prepared for a formal ball.
TICKETS AT CAL Five hundred tickets to tlie dance have beer, sent up to the northern institution and nearly twice thit number are on sale over at S. B. U. C. Considering the place—the new Biltmore Hotel—and the occasion— the night of the Big Game—$2 per couple has been decreed a reasonable prices by the critics on the campus. Many visitors who will be in town that day will find this a delightful way of finishing off what promises to be one of the biggest days of the current football season in Southern California.
BALLROOM LARGE One thousand couples may be easi-y provided for in the mamoth ballroom of the hotel.
Tickets may be procured from any member of the Trojan Knights and Amazons. The Cooperative Book Store is also selling the card boaras.
Friday evening at 8 o’clock the Frosh Trojan wonder team leaves for Berkeley, where they will engage the yearling Bear meat in battle cn Saturday afternoon. They have scored 148 points in their five games and have not been scored against. Saturday is their last game, and should they emerge victorious and without a scratched score, they will be considered truly a wonder team. Every

Women’s Gym Tuesday after chapel.
Although there are fifty-four members in the organization, only a small number was present at Tuesday's meeting. At that time it was decided to take definite action toward the members who are not interested enough to attend the meetings.
INTER-CLASS GAMES Miss Francis Stephen in an interesting talk on basket ball announced that practices are being held regularly but there are not nearly enough women out for class teams, inter-class games start next week, and inter-collegiate contests soon after. This means that if the Trojan women are to uphold S. C.’s honor as well a3 the mn have, more women must come out. Experience, while desirable, is cot necessary, and every college girl can help if only by coming to practice and showing that Women’s Athletics have her support.

SECOND YEAR IN CHINA

Harold V. Harris, the “Trojan In China,” U. S. C.’s representative on the faculty of Peking University, Peking, China, sends greetings to the Trojans in Southern California, and requests that the “Trojan” be sent him immediately, so that he may keep in touch.
Mr. Harris is U. S. C.’s contribution to Peking University, a school supported by Christian nations. This University ranks foremost among American Universities in sending Mr. Harrs as representatve. Each year the Associated Student Body launches a campaign to do its share in educating and christianizng Chna, by keeping Harris there.
Mr. Harris is a graduate of U. S. C. of the class of ’20 and has considerable experience in educational work, this being bis seco\d year in Chna. The pl&ft of the Methodist Conference at present is to send a representative from U. S. C- as a student in Peking University for one year and as a teacher one year.

225 FROSH HAVE NOW PAID DUES
One-Third Have Responded; Special Campaign One Day Next Week
According to a statement made Tuesday by Class Treasurer Wallace, about 225 Freshmen have paid their class dues. “Thi3 means that approximately one third of the Frosh on this campus are behind in the prifnary obligation to their class,” he said. “If lhe program wiiich the executive com mittee is planning for this year is carried out it will be necessary for every Freshman to pay up.” A financial committee is to be appointed r.t once by the treasurer and • a special campaign will be put on one day next week. Receipt tags are to be worn and every Freshman will be canvassed by the newly selected committee.
November 23rd has been tentatfvely set aside as the date for the first class dance. But before this can be assured it will be necessary to have money in the treasury for the monograms and sweaters to be awarded players on Freshman teams if the policy outlined by President Teetzel is carried out.

Chapel today is to be another rally of the pep variety. The first ten minutes of the rally will be given over to an eye-witness account of the Stanford game last Saturday at Palo Alto. The rest of the hour promises to b6 filled with the usual rip and tear uf U. S. C. rallies before the Cal game.
“We want Bear meat.” the cry that is to lead the way to a Cal victory, will be heard in chapel today for the first time this year. Mr. Kirchoffer will lead the sn',s for the game against the BearS next Saturday, and yell leader McCann will be on hand to put the assembly of students thru their paces on some of the yells which are destined to strike terror into the hearts of the warriors from Berkeley.
A pleasant feature of today’s yell and song program will be the time given to tryouts of some of the new songs and yells contributed during the yell and song contest that closed yesterday. These new contributions have not all been thoroughly gone over and judged as to merit, but it is the opinion of those in charge of
them that some available material for both song and yell stunts will be chosen from the lot.
“This is your opportunity to get in on the first big rally aimed at Cal. Next week’s rallies will be more perfect and possibly more noisy because the game will be that much nearer at hand. But the rally today is to be the beginning of the spirit that will .carry Southern California to victory on November 10,” was the statement of Hal Williamson, chairman of the Rally Committee.
‘It is to be a prelude, if you please, to the preparations now being made for a noisy campaign at the big game of the season. And for that reason we cannot afford to miss the rally today or fail to bring all our spirit and pep into the Auditorium at 11 o’clock.”
It is the wish of student body officials that attendance and spirit at chapel today be of the highest possible order. The big game is now only a little more than a week away, and they desire all possible preparation for the big even*.
