WRS ABOUT BOGUS TICKETS ARE UNFOUNDED
’S. C. Tickets Have Distinctive Design and are Hard to Duplicate,” Says Manager.
The widespread rumor that bogus :kets for the Stanford game are be-manufactured and sold is unfound-
, according to P. N. Marshall, in large of the ticket sale for the big ime. "Scalping and bogus ticket [inting are serious offenses, punish-|le by $500 fine and two years’ im-psonment,” he says. He also made statement that student coupons no longer of value in purchasing inford tickets.
|‘S. C. tickets are hard to duplicate,” Marshall stated. “In the first ice, the tickets are printed by one of most reliable concerns in the city, reral weeks each summer are spent | making up tints and designs. The ie design is never used for more m one season. The tickets go fough several color processes which ^ld not only be hard to duplicate very expensive. It would not pay [counterfeit them unless a great iber could be sold. The risk is great as thirty-five or forty men on the lookout for scalpers and Interfeiters at every game, fin the list two years S. C. has ped four major games and not a fie bogus ticket has been found. |t year, $50,000 was refunded on lford tickets and no counterfeits fe presented. There would have less risk of detection then than liny other time.”
Ilthough it is very improbable that ^ets are being counterfeited, the |e is always on the lookout, Mr. |shall added, and anyone who may of such practice should notify at once.
|s in every big athletic event, there be some scalping at the Stanford-game and it is better not to buy its from strangers, according to [Marshall.
[alping violates a state law. In to sell Uckets for profit, one hold a ticket broker's license, penalty for breaking this law is 100 fine or two years in the peni-[ary or both. “Students,” Mr. jhall says, “may not sell their ?ts for profit, although they may >se of them at the same price paid.”
new development in the sale of lford tickets is the fact that stu-coupons are no longer of value he purchasing of tickets. “This lly fair,” Mr. Marshall states, “as ler the Stanford nor Iowa cou-were included in the $5 paid for |s. They were gifts to be used •e a certain time. This time has expired. There are 70,000 foot-Ifans to be taken care of and stu-have already bad two weeks in to get their tickets.”
PROGRAMS TO GIVE IDEA OF COLLEGE
Deputation Committee Will Visit High Schools To Advertise Higher Education.
JUNIORS MUST PAY HALLOWE’EN SPIRIT GLASS ASSESSMENT: WILL RULE AT DANOE
Dues Will Meet Prom Expenses and Start Next Year’s Fund If Possible.
To make known the standards and principles of Southern California throughout the state, a deputations committee has been chosen from the student body which will carry out the plans of the executive committee.
Representatives and groups of all campus activities and campus colleges are to give programs characteristic of Southern California life to various high schools of Southern California. The purpose of the plan is to so pre*
sent the programs that the high school students will desire university education and to advertise S. C. by the means of indirect suggestion.
The executive committee is to do the planning and supervising of all tbe work, while the deputations team will carry out the programs. This team will arrange weekly schedules and make up snappy collegiate programs to offer the high schools. The campaign is to be stressed particularly in Los Angeles high schools.
The Education Department of the university is giving the committee a list of all tne high schools in Southern California, and Harold J. Stonier, executive secretary, is handling the matter of finances. The deputations committee is made up of Iceland Tallman, chairman; Evelyn Ross, secretary; Hal Williamson, of the S. C. Radio Broadcasting Station; Horace Judson, manager of the Glee Club; Harriet Pierson, representing the School of Speech; Dorothy Bishop, president of the School of Music; Adna Leonard and Bill Henley. Other committee members and those selected for the deputations team will be announced later.
According to Leland Tallman, this plan is a very new tbing as far as is known it has not previously been worked out on any other university campus.
Juniors must pay their annual class dues in the future if they hope to meet the necessary expenses of the Junior Prom and have a substantial sum left in the treasury for the next year’s activities, according to Willard Brown.
The drive for funds began yesterday morning and will only last for three days. Every member of the Junior class is expected to be seen on tbe campus with the official badge that is given as a receipt for payment of dues. Any member of the class who wishes to assist in the drive should see Eloise Parks or Willard Brown, who are in charge of the collections.
In order that a one hundred per cent record may be had, a complete list of the class is being compiled. “If no one comes to you for your dues, you hunt up some Junior who has charge of the collecting,’' declared Brown.
In previous years Junior classes have been known to “go in the hole” on their dances, and so this year’s class is determined to put over its drive for funds and have a substantial sum left over. The officers feel that this can only be accomplished through the support of the entire class. “This year’s Junior Prom,” said Miss Parks, "wants to be a Prom that future Junior classes will have to work hard to better. This can only be done through the loyal support of every Junior on the S. C. campus.”
QUILL CLUB MEETS TO DISCUSS PLANS
Quill Club, national literary society, meets Wednesday evening at the home of Dorothy Crowley, 1150 South Lake, for the first time this year. At this meeting Ralph Holly will give a report of the national convention which he attended this summer, and which made several changes in the by-laws of the club.
All members are asked to have manuscripts. The question of material for the Wooden Horse will be taken up, and whether or not the magazine will be published will be definitely decided.*
Members are asked to order their pins at once, if they have not yet received them.
NEW PROFESSORS ARE CLUB GUESTS
Dr. Coy, Dr. Riley and Professor
Sophomores Plan To Make All U-Dances in Pavilion Strictly Informal.
With Betty von KieinSmid, vice-president of the sophomore class, at the head of the social committee, and Marcos Beeks as chairman of the entertainment committee, plans are rapidly formulating for the second-year all-university dance to be held in the basket ball pavilion Saturday, October 24th. The matter of costumes and admission price is still under consideration by the two committees in connection with the group on finance, and tickets will go one sale in the Students’ Store as soon as these details are satisfactorily settled.
According to Miss vonKleinSmid all formality will have to take the last seat in the back row for this time of times. Care-free holiday spirit will prevail, the seasonal Hallowe'en decorations lending much to the wanted atmosphere.
The sophomore class in general is rejoicing over the announcement that Ray Hatfield’s orchestra, now' famous from University Avenue tV Shanghai, China, has been engaged t > play for the festivities of tbe evening. Ray has an organization that DOES k. ow how to play honest-to-goodness muJic—the same kind that wore the shoes * ff Los Angeles and then rocked the L wient to its foundation. Hatfield’s sui ess on his trip to China is considered i e-nomenal by authorities.
Miss von Kleinsmid and Hank Rohr, class president, urge not only the support of the sophomore class, but of the entire student body as well, in making this first at-home dance of the season the standard for future social events.
ATHLETIC GROUND ADDED TO CAMPUS
New Field Will Be Used Both Men and Women.
By
The plot of ground between Old College and the women’s gymnasium, previously occupied by the Architecture Building and tennis courst, will be converted into athletic grounds, according to Harold Stonier.
The field, which is to include a baseball diamond with bleachers, a 440-yard track, and handball courts, will be used by men in the afternoon, and by women in the morning. In this way, Mr. Stonier stated, the university hopes to arouse a greater interest in outdoor activities among both men and women students.
Every effort is being made to beautify the grounds which will add several acres to the campus. The field will be planted with grass and ivy is to be trained over the high cement wall which will surround the plot.
A field where intra-mural sports may be held will have the effect of strengthening university spirit, Mr. Stonier believes.
The tennis courts are to be built behind the new Architecture Building on West Thirty-fifth Place.

The aisle separating the sections will be filled in with .thus providing additional seats Iso making a single group of the te. This is necessary in order |rk out the various card effects lend increased volume to the As practically all the students
have rooting section seats, a full section is assured.
During intermission many card stunts and tricky yells are to be presented, while there will also be some snappy entertainment by the Trojan band. The plans of the band, however, remain a secret, as Hal Roberts refuses to reveal the nature of his arrangements. The rooters, fey the use of the cards, will form a huge Cardinal “S”
I
and then give some Stanford cheers. They will next present a capital “T” and give the Trojan yells. The big feature of the card stunts will be a giant Trojan war horse with which will conclude the rooting section’s sha/e of the program. The rest of the time will be given to the band.
A warning is issued to all men students to be sure and come attired in white shirts with bow ties and rooters caps. “No one will be admitted to the section unless so garbed and as the tickets can not be used for any other seat all must come prepared,” says Burdette Henney.
At the first meeting of the History and Political Sicence Honor Society for the year, which is to be held at 2920 South Figueroa Street tomorrow evening at 7:30 o’clock, the three new Professors in the History department will each speak on some original and interesting topic. The three new men are; Professor James Mussatti, and Dr. Coy, and Dr. Riley.
The three short speeches will occur following a brief business meeting, after w’hich refreshments will be served. Pres. Willard Brown and Vice-President Maryan Clayberg are neglecting no effort to make the meeting a success. It is rumored that some deep, sinister scandal regarding Dr. Mal-com’s last entry into the political arena is to be uncovered at this meeting. The many friends of Dr. Malcom, who is head of the Political Science department, declared however, they have no fear of his reputation being seriously damaged by the revelations which are to be made. Members who are uninformed as to the nature of the charges had better plan to be on hand so as to be in on the solution of the mystery. Every major student in either department is invited to attend this special meeting.
Fraternities Need Housemothers, Says S. C. President
PLAY BY DR. GAW TO BE PRODUCED
“Pharaoh’s Daughter” is Given at Pasadena Community Playhouse Under Gilmor Brown.
“I heartily approve of each fraternity having a housemother,” declares President von KieinSmid w'ho believes that the time is rapidly approching when the dignity and standing of a fraternity will be judged, in part, by the presence of a housemother—the hostess who will preside at all its functions.
The fine standai J of i nquiring each fraternity house to have its hostess has been set by many of the leading universities all over the United States, and is steadily gaining in popularity.
As is the custom, and as is required, all women’s fraternities at the University of Southern California have such an institution, but such is not the case with all the men’s fraternities. The value of setting such a standard and of raising the prestige and dignity of fraternities can readily be seen.
The University of Southern California has been highly honored in the selection by the Pasadena Community Playhouse for its next production of a play written by Dr. Allison Gaw, head of the English Department, and Ellean Gaw, his wife. The play, “Pharaoh’s Daughter,” is to be given from October 15th to the 24th, and is expected to be one of the most spectacular stage productions ever attempted in Southern California.
Dr. Gaw and his wife wrote this play four years ago. It is an attempt to fill in the blank in Biblical history, the time intervening between the finding by Pharaoh’s daughter of Moses in the bullrushes, and that time when Moses went forth to lead his people, and presents Moses as adopted son of Pharaoh’s daughter and heir-apparent to the throne of Egypt. The play is in three acts and is written in blank verse, and the music for the production has been composed by Dr. Gaw.
The Pasadena Community Playhouse is the finest of its type in the United States. Built under the direction of Gilmore Brown, no expense has been spared in creating the perfect theatre. As an example of the painstaking effort which was put into its building, the fact that the ceiling is made entirely of velvet to aid in the acoustics of the theatre needs but be cited.
The great cost of this spectacular
Y. W. WILL HAVE SUPPER MEETING
The first supper meeting of the Y.W. will be held tomorrow at five o’clock in the Lodge. It is planned to have these supper meetings at least once a month in order that girls who are unable to attend the afternoon meetings because of classes may participate in “Y” activities.
Featured in the program is a talk, “Eve, the Original Girl,” by Mrs. Lena Leonard Fisher. This is the first of a series of four talks by Mrs. Fisher. It is planned to have wives of the faculty members address the girls at each meeting. Special music will be provided by the School of Music, and Freda Fisher is to give a comic reading, “The White Sox.” Special stunts have also been planned.
At 4:30, immediately preceding the meeting, the freshman commission will elect officers from the candidates nominated last week. Plans for freshman commission work for the year is to be discussed. These girls will take charge of selling chrysanthemums at the Stanford game Saturday. The flowers will be priced at 30c, and every girl in the rooting section is expected to purchase one.
After supper, which is to cost 25c, a group will go to the central “Y” for swimming. All girls who would care to join this group are welcome.
OXFORD RECOGNIZES WOMEN
The first woman to receive the degree of Doctor of Science from Oxford University is Miss Annie Cannon, astronomer at the Harvard observatory. She was awarded the degree this summer.
Earl Burtnett is Preparing Special Dance Number of Southern California Songs.
As a fitting aftermath to the Stan ford-S. C. battle on the gridiron next Saturday, the dance which follows at the Biltmore Hotel will end a day which is expected will provide enough thrills to last the most exacting student for many a moon.
Earl Burtnett and his famous Biltmore Hotel orchestra will furnish the music and .according to Burke Long, who secured these musicians, the brand of music they will play will be that wTiich has made them nationally known as one of the country’s best orchestras.
Art Hickman has returned to the Biltmore, making it possible to secure Burtnett for the coming dance. It was also announced that Burtnett is arranging several Southern California songs into a new dance number. It is expected by the committee in charge of the dance that this number will make an instant hit with the dancers as Burtnett is very well known for his musical arrangements.
Momon Baber, in charge of tickets for the danc*, announced that the sale is rapidly drawing to a close and that it has been heavier than usual. Positively only 500 tickets will be sold this year according to Baber. With the Stanford game only five days in the future those who desire to attend this colorful dance following the game are again urged to get them at the Book Store. The price of the tickets is $2.50.
Many innovations will take place at
this dance, according to the committee. Flowers will be predominant in the decorations, supplanting the sport motif of the past. The decoration committee has several new ideas on a suitable setting for the dance, which are expected to provide a colorful and beautiful arrangement for the ball. With society looking on and with the prestige of “Pop” Warner, coach of Stanford, and Howard Jones of S. C.„ Saturday night promises, according to those in charge, to become the night of nights after a wonderful day of days.
Graduate School
To Hold Meeting
Wednesday morning at ten o’clock a meeting will be held of the Graduate School at the Y. M. C. A. Hut. Williamson, last year’s president, will preside, as the officers have not yet been elected for this year.
The graduates intend to come to the front this year with many school activities and are full of enthusiasm for the coming semester.
Officers will be elected at the meeting following this one.
New Sorority House Rules Stress Hours Of Quietude
Regulations May Seem Strict To Girls, But Responsibility of University and Housemothers is Great, Says Dean.
It seems incredible that anyone could expect a group of girls—much less coeds—to keep quiet hours for ninety-one hours and ten minutes out of every one hundred and sixty-eight hours of the week, but that is what the S. C. sorority houses are asking. Here they are: 8:30 to 11:50 A. M
Monday to Friday, inclusive; 1:30 to production has prevented commercial 4;30 p M Monday t0 Thursday, inproducers from putting this play on, but Director Gilmore Brown feels that the play is distinctly suited to the handsome structure of the Playhouse.
Mr. Brown has been highly fortunate and successful in his choice of a cast for the play. He has succeeded in procuring Helen Jerome Eddy, the noted actress, for the title role; Arthur Lubin is to play the part of Moses, and Belle Mitchell will be Amar-na, Moses* betrothed. Others in the large cast are Edward Atlee, Everett McCammon, Raymond Martin, Lurene Tuttle, Mayfair Murphey, Curtis Ar-nall, Vita Shiploff, Frederick Wright,
Frank McCollister, Joseph Ham,
Charles Hancock, Cloyd Dalzell, Dorothy Henry, Thelma Hardwick, Frank Dundon and Leland Anderson.
elusive; 8:00 P. M. to 6:30 A. M. Sunday to Thursday, inclusive. Then, on Sunday morning, each house “should establish additional quiet hours according to needs and wishes of the particular house” to quote the bulletin. Only the aspiring Ethel Legins-kas and Olga Samaroffs may escape the quiet hours, as evidently the committee realized that practice makes for success and regardless of the ears of the neighbors, for the bulletin specifically excuses them from the application of the rules.
The young Lochinvars have a chance to visit the houses only until 10:30 o’clock from Friday to Sunday evenings, inclusive, 8:00 o’clock all other nights.
Before going to a party or dance,
given by the university, a girl must sign up before leaving the house, the party must be registered in the Dean of Women’s office, and an appropriate chaperone must accompany the girl who goes. Parties are given only on Friday or Saturday evenings and the university rules require all such occasions to close at midnight, so the sorority sister must be back at the house by 12;30 A. M. unless the distance makes it impossible.
Week-end trips must be approved by the house mother. The address and telephone number must be given in case the parents should call in the daughter’s absence. These week-end trips must be applied for, and these applications are sent to the oflice of the Dean at the end of the month.
During the holidays the closing hours are not changed. From Sunday to Thursday, inclusive, 10:30 and 11:00 P. M. Friday and Saturday evenings, but special week-end privileges may be given during the week. By special permission, a girl may stay out as late as twelve, but, iike Cinderella, must make explanations if she is later.	M
