Determined to instill in the hearts of freshmen women a feeling of awe toward the honored traditions of this University, the "Amazons,” an organization of the prominent women leaders of the c^hipus, has been formed. The “Amazons” are to co-operate with tile Trojan Knights in every phase of their activity. They purpose not only to enforce the traditions already established, but to formulate new ones as well. Various measures are to be initiated to generate a real Amazonian battle spirit in Trojan women, old girls as well as fresh and innocent freshmen.
TEAM ENTERTAINMENT
Another aspect of the service which the Amazons wTill render will be in the entertaining of visiting teams. Little effort has been made in the past to make pleasurable the sojourns here of men from other universities. Here, too, the Amazons will work with the Knights.
It is expected that much will be accomplished by this banding together of the strongest feminine forces in the University to perform duties hitherto neglected in the way of manipulating the bidden forces in the feminine half of the student body.

Humbolt To Take Trojans To Game
Making it possible for students to spend the whole day in San Francisco and Berkeley, Saturday, November 5, the day of the California game, and to return Monday to Los Angeles in time for eight o’clock classes, the White Flyer Line has rearranged the schedule of its steamer, the Humboldt, to accommodate students at U. S. C. Twenty-two dollars and fifty cents, ulus war tax, is the fee charged for the round trip.
The Humboldt will leave San Pedno at eight o’clock Thursday night, arriving in San Francisco at 6 in the morning, Friday. This will allow students plenty of time before the game to visit Golden Gate Park, the California campus, the Stanford campus, or any of the bay region centers of attraction before the game in the afternoon. The student is also allow’ed three hours after the game, during which he may visit San Francisco’s famous cafes, movie houses, and other institutions of “Frisco” fame. Arriving in San Pedro, Monday at six in the morning, students will have little difficulty reading their 8 o’clocks on time.
The Humboldt is a ship of modern design, speed and comfort being among its assets. In addition, the White Flyer has established for itself an enviable reputation for its cuisine.
The special rate of $22.50 is open to U. S. C. students, friends of the University, and to the general public. Tickets for the trip may be purchased at the offices of the White Flyer Steamship Line, 517 South Spring.

U. S. C. meets Pomona Saturday.
The University of California plays Washington State on the same date.
Such a schedule is, or should be, a fortunate circumstance for the Trojans. Pomona appears to be woefully wTeak this year, aim Henderson should not have to open up to beat them.
Washington State, on the other hand, is the most feared conference eleven which the Bears must face this year. Many even believe Saturday’s game will prove a more strenuous workout for the Bears than they will find when they tackle U. S. C., one week later.
This means that if the Cougars prove to be as strong as is expected, Andy Smith will have to lay most of his cards on the table in order to score an impressive victory. Andy seems to think that he will be lucky if he wins at all, and in case the game should develop into a strong fight, the Bears will have to show just wiiat they are made of.
HENDERSON WATCHES
This is just what Gloomy Gus Henderson is waiting for. He knows that Smith has allowed his team to coast along all this year without scoring half the number of points it could (Continued on Page 4)

Extemporaneous stunts and speeches by the new members of Athena and Aristotelian literary societies kept the group howling with laughter Tuesday evening at their joint meeting.
The previously arranged program was upset by the departure of the senior members of the societies, so the initiates were asked to perfirm.
Eleanor Chan gave a quaint little reading, wiiich wras followed by a w'histling solo by Jean Watt.
Katherine Stewart and William Del-phy entertained with some jazz, a mock wTedding and trial were staged, and two Aristotelians gave two-minute talks.
The general opinion was that “Seniors are unnecessary in literary societies anyhow.* ’
November 5
The Administrative Committee has adopted the following method of enforcement of regulations covering student attendance at general assembles held in the auditorium Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 11 o’clock:
1.	The number of absences during the semester shall not exceed the number of absences permitted students in a two-unit course, or four each semester.
2.	When the number of absences from general assemblies by any student exceeds the maximum, his name will be reported to the Registrar and all credit will be withheld until the assembly attendance record of said student has been cleared.
3.	The record of attendance of students exceeding the maximum number of absences permitted, may be cleared by students on passing an examination on designated books selected by the Assembly Committee.
4.	On the passing of a satisfactory examination on books indicated, the Assembly Committee will issue a statement to the Registrar which will release the student’s credits for the semester.

UNIVERSITY SERIES OFFERED FOR $3.50
STUDENTS GIVEN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE NOTEWORTHY PROFESSIONAL AND UNIVERSITY ATTRACTIONS ON SINGLE TICKET FOR BARGAIN PRICE.
Moralists will tell you that the price of a good time is great, but not so at U. S. C. For the mere sum of $3.50 any Trojan may witness the most pretentious series of entertainments ever staged on the campus. Today students will have their first opportunity to purchase tickets for the Great 13 Events, which, at downtown prices, would cost $30—all for $3.50.
The $3.50 tickets for the Great 13 Events will be sold only to students. For a dollar extra, reserved seats may be obtained, the same seat being held for all the events. Five hundred seats at $5 have been set aside for friends of the University, and an equal number at the same price have been reserved for the general public. Students wTho desire the $3.50 tickets must at act quickly, according to Joe Ryan, manager of the series.
For this insignificant sum, students will be permitted to appease their craving for good music with three con-
ORATORY PLAYLETS
Oratory will present two one-act plays and a pantomime on April 6. Neither the plays nor the pantomime have been definitely selected. However, the College of Oratory will endeavor to maintain the high literary and artistic standards it has previously upheld, according to Miss Hubbard, who is now engaged in selecting the plays.
The Glee Club will give a concert on December 15. After the home concert, the club will sing in the larger cities of Southern California and then go on a two weeks’ tour of the state, traveling as far north as Eureka.
CHORAL UNION PRODUCTION
The University Choral Union will appear twice in the series. The members of the choral union will be heard first in Mendelssohn’s “Hymn of Praise” on March 23. A secular cantata, which has not yet been announced, will be

“Libraries in Los Angeles and Vicinity” is the title of a book by Professor Ralph L. Powers of the U. S. C. College of Commerce, which is coming out next week. It is a work similar to a book on the Boston libraries issued by Dr. Powers several years ago, and is the first one of its kind to be published in Los Angeles.
It contains short descriptive articles on the libraries around Los Angeles. The libraries are classified as to kind, and include public, college, school, law, moving picture studio, language, business, scientific, society, religious libraries and rare books.
The book, which is published by the University Press, will be issued with cardboard covers as well as the regular binding.
summer more than duplicated the successes which he enjoyed there in prewar days. He did the unprecedented thing of giving six recitals within the space of three weeks, repeating each program and winning such enthusiastic approval from both the press and public after his second concert that he was engaged for a seventh appearance. Because of the unusual interest attached to his programs and the exceptional educational values found in his recitals, he has been in great demand at the leading universities and colleges and has been heard at Harvard, Princeton, Bryn Mawr, Oberlin, Ogontz, Perdue, Notre Dame, Ohio State, University of Missouri, University of Kansas, Northwestern, Ward-Belmont and this year at the University of Southern California.
