Commenting on the action of the Executive Committee, Ray McDonald, President of the Glee Club, said:
“This movement has a special significance for those interested in Glee Club activity. It marks a new era for the class of entertainment which the Glee Ciub has to offer. It brings the club out of its rather uncertain status and places it in the front rank of Student Body activities. Most importantly, it creates a new opportunity for increased co-operation between the Student Body and the Club. It symbolizes progress for the Men's Glee Club.”
Under the new' method of procedure, the president of the Glee Club will be elected by the Excutive Committee. Before the new legislation, the president was appointed at large.
Another important angle which develops under the new system is that of the financial management of the singers. Last year the money obtained from the G'ee Club concerts

An enthusiastic audience greeted Mario Chamlee last night in Bovard Auditorium when this well-known tenor assisted by his wife, Miss Ruth Miller, a former Metropolitan Opera star, and William Tyroler, at the piano, presented a concert for the benefit of the Trojan statue fund.
Music lovers galore wrere in the audience and the members of the College of Music attended in a body. Among the patrons and patronesses were seen Mrs. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, Mrs. Frankel, Mrs. Maybee, Hugo Kirchoffer and several prominent alumni of the university.

Wiley, had attended t/he recent Derno-craticW Convention in New York, and had, in 1916, cast an electoral ballot for Woodrow Wilson. She described the three candidates as she knew them, and characterized the Democratic candidate, John Davis, as a great man, a great statesman, and a great character. Mrs. Wiley also mentioned the fact that she recently received a wire from Mrs. Wilson, endorsing Mr. Davis as the best man to carry on Woodrow Wilson's policies and ideals. Her concluding advice was, “Be careful whom you send to the Electoral College.”

On last Wednesday evening, the chosen members of the Men’s Club held their first meeting of the year. Included in the meeting 'was a short rehearsal of all the campus songs which served the purpose of acquainting the new men with the songs used in the rallies and at the games. Plans were also made to make the Men’s Glee Club the nucleus around which the rooting section will be built, as it is believed that better results can be obtained from the rooters if a strong singing leadership is installed.
Following the rehearsal, a business session took place in which new members made the acqquaintance of I lee. the last year’s men, and a nominating committee was appointed to select the (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR)

Numerous Drives
The campus chest idea, a modification of the community chest plan, which is being encouraged on the U. S. C. campus will be the “headliner'' on October 27 to 29, inclusive, when its drive takes place.
The Campus CCiest is to be made up of voluntary donations from the students of the various colleges. The donations will be for whatever amount the student feels he is able to contribute. Although the donating has been made purely voluntary, each student is expected to add his bit.
The purpose of the chest is to do away with the numerous drives and tag days of the previous years. The one amount given by the student will
will petition for money, and decide as to the amount the petitioner shall receive.
In the past, the expense of printing the tags and other incidental expenses has taken up about 20 per cent of the gross receipts of the campaign. On the other hand, the Campus Chest will permit the 20 per cent taken up before, for expenses to be used for the cause for which it was originally intended.
The goal for the campaign will be the sum total of the worthy petitions of the campus organizations for the present year. Reaching this goal depends entirely upon the attitude the student body takes toward the drive

The subject was chosen last week at the meeting of the Conference representatives held at Occidental College. It will deal with the regulation of inter-collegiate athletics in the United States. and seven sub-topics will be chosen from this for the seven schools that will take part. Each school will be given its subject just an hour before starting time, in order that every speaker will have equal chances for preparation.
According to Brennan, the same plan will be used at the try-outs and anyone who feels an inclination towards a contest of this nature should begin at once studying the subject as a whole in order to be
