The first speaker, Mrs. S. L. 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.” HOOD MAKES TALK “Why change the administration at cessary for Entrance to Gay Event outs have been held afternoons Bovard Auditorium during the past j two weeks and Hank, who »5 direct- __| ing the production, seems more than PROMISE GOOD TIME pleased with the protgxess made thus — • f Student Identification Cards Ne- Grant La Mont, wlho has charge of j the chorus, has had his hands full to 1 select from the eighty aspirants, forty- j Xs the date for the all-University eight girls who will meet all the re- j progressive dance approaches the idea quirements.

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) Tales, Wolff; (d) The Nightingale has a Lyre of Gold, Whelping—Ruth Miller.

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 SOCIAL RESEARCH CLASS WILL MEET be considered equal to what he would and whether they would rather con-contribute to the combination of tribute their whole sum at one time drives of previous years. j or make the numerous little donations The distribution of the money will i which will follow in case the drive be in the hands of a committee which should prove a failure, will receive all petitions from the J Many unexpected drives and sub- A meeting has been planned by the Social Research Class, for Wednesday, October 22, at four o’clock.

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 building up of the present monopolies. He also declared that LaFollette has started an attack on the present political system, and intends to continue the battle. COUNTRY CLUB IS state.

Wiley, had attended t/he recent Derno-craticW Convention in New York, and had, in 1916, cast an electoral ballot for Woodrow Wilson.

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.

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.
